I'm sure glad we had this little chat, llama.

Llama, why did you vote for Gleam?

Because I can't get people to agree on a JJJ wagon, and Gleam has a shady vote record. An early defense of Eloh and vote for MP when no one else was considering such a vote makes it look like a strategic vote for future cover when MP flipped bad.

But, I don't think you have really tried to persuade people to join your suspicion of JJJ. It's been the same come in and vote for JJJ for a few phases in a row. I won't argue with your reasoning in suspecting Gleam, because I share the belief that it is suspicious. But, I do find it weird that now you've suddenly decided to vote elsewhere when you wouldn't really budge previously (minus, once, I think).

So now they are willing to place their votes somewhere else in order to get rid of the process, as they would need the process lynched to win.

Perhaps I was mistaken in the thought that Llama was more likely to be the process because he was ignoring the elements altogether, and instead Gleam is more favorable of being the process, as the process would be more careful than to outright ignore the elements - but instead try to make excuses to/talk around not voting them.

Afterall, I do think Llama also has good potential of being mafia. Because he never had anything to say about Eloh, and only good things to say about MP.

It's just...if Llama and Mac were indeed mafia together, that would have to be a suicidal move, to team up throughout the game like they have been doing (from voting JJJ to now voting Gleam, both with little to no actual reasons stated).

kneel4justice wrote:Looking back through Llama's posts...I think Llama could be the process.

Llama originally expressed interest in partaking in DrumBeat's plan (here) and then further expressed that it would be a good idea to lynch a process element to see what happens (here).
Following the mafia's killing of a process element, Llama voted for JJJ without any discussion of following DrumBeat's plan (here). Granted Llama was busy during away at a convention during this particular phase. I was originally pinged by this, but looking back I find it even more bothersome - since Llama actually expressed interest in DrumBeat's proposal.
It's starting to look like Llama wanted to appear ready to work against the process but when the actual time came, he wasn't willing to do so. Strikes me as someone who didn't want to lose their elements and thought since the elements are so mysterious and that there was no concrete information on what needed to be done with the elements, they could get away with it.
Llama has voted for JJJ, yet again...during the midst of a conversation that has centered around why it is important to lynch an element this particular day phase to avoid the process from getting too much power as far as voting ratios go.

Now, I think strategically, it would still be best to go ahead with lynching an element, in the event that this is wrong. But I do think once we get the ratio to an acceptable amount (which, someone might have to help with that math lol) Llama is a good candidate for the process.
If I am wrong about Llama being the process, I do think there is a chance that he is mafia. Looking back I did not see any comments on Eloh's behavior during her time of being alive. He also had good reads on MP and never changed those. Which looks bad at face value, now I think it would be stupid for him to avoid suspecting both of them, but not impossible.

I really want to help with my knowledge of the functions from the game but idk how well I can explain the mechanics or how thoroughly because I have very little time in the next couple days. Commencement is tomorrow and I am scheduled back to back with events and family and moving and traveling. I have maybe an hour relatively free now so I'll try to start writing up what I can.

Eloooooh

I'm inclined to agree. I'll be around for a little bit before the poll ends so I'll give her a chance to come in and say something, but so far she has ignored a lot of suspicion directed at her.

nutella wrote:Alright, I'm giving Eloh another chance and voting for Nerolunar because he is bad. Just a strong gut feeling that has emerged from his last several posts. I feel similarly about DF, and to a lesser extent llama.

nutella wrote:Sweet result! I guess my last-minute change of heart was misguided. I know that doesn't look good for me, but like Gleam when I reread Eloh she looked more genuine and was trying to defend herself. After her last response before my vote I kind of went back and forth on what I thought of it but I decided that my suspicion of Nero was stronger.

It was a 24 hour lynch until it was changed to 48.

Why did you vote for me?

I was actually feeling good about JJJ's posts. But, I can see it as a way to appear helpful too. I myself thought it was kind of early but just figured that is the type of player that JJJ is. If he did it as mafia, that's pretty impressive. I more so was inclined to believe it would be more unnecessary if he were to be mafia.
Is it not normal for him to do ISO's at this stage of the game?
As for you finding Cell's assessment of JJJ to be an indication of alignment...I don't understand your thinking behind that. At the first read, I was not taking it very serious. Then the Wilgy joke kind of confirmed in my mind that it was more so a troll than having some inside insight. Have you changed your perspective on the Cell's readings since there have now been more?

If the baddies do not "kill" a Process element at any point, or they haven't after a few night phases have passed -- how do you think the Process should be handled?

What exactly do you think the implications might be of the Cell calling me "inconclusive". What does that mean to you?

I don't understand why a number of people are suspecting me. I'll probably vote for DrumBeats today.
