The Syndicate

I've never had any issue with 'indy' in gth. That is a read. It's different from fence sitting. Sometimes you read people specifically as being independent.

Linki @ Golden, Sloonei

Sloonei was my bet too. It fits with him understanding Mac's meta, but missing a lot of RM people.

The other three I have in mind as not ruled out are - rico (who I know can play up fake meta tells to appear to be others), zebra, and nutella.

Re the other thread, I hope that they lynched sig. I feel very strongly about him.

It's Sloonei. I have the same dynamic I had in host wars. I will be amazed if it isn't him.

And I have seen too many sigwagons to be so sure. Why so sure?

My hesitation on believing it was sloonei is that he's been so much more busy and more quiet recently. It's good to see him in full form if it is him.

I've defended most of those sigwagons. He gets taken out for poor choice of words, things that look so overtly bad, usually specific commentary on individuals that appears contrived. The only time I went after sig and was wrong was in Turf Wars, where his apparent obvious baddieness was so outrageous that I felt he couldn't possibly be good (I was wrong).

My point being, this sig doesn't look like any of those bad wagons. Sig isn't getting himself into trouble for word usage, but rather for lack of genuine content, blendiness, and the way he handled the Mac lynch. None of these behaviours are things I associate with civ sig - neither the civ sig who gets himself in trouble (because usually that one is still opinionated), nor super-sig like what was recently seen in Unfortunate Events. Civ sig throws his thoughts out there and doesn't worry about how he looks.

How do you feel about his role in the Mac thing? Did you forget about how responsible he was for that, when you voted him? Or do you think it isn't a very persuasive argument for him being good? Or was your vote more symbolic about his content than being fully convinced he was bad?

Back down with the righteous indignation cowboy. I don't recall what every person said in the other thread. I was judging based on THIS thread and in THIS thread I was not impressed.

Linki Prisoner Donna an Coltrane I am sure about.

Didn't mean it indignantly. Just trying to be clear as to where your mindset was.

I also voted MM nut no-one saw it. But I did it for lols because he wanted to do live commentary of my voting.

Each sock person, that is. Provided they don't mind as guessing at them, then I think it's ok.

Do you want my guesses then?

I think your guess for each person who says they are ok with it, so it looks like we can do prisoner.

I am ultra sure of who the Prisoner isv

Are you sure of others? I have one person that I'm at about 85% on with the prisoner, the other three are more like conceivable alternate options.

Do you think it's wise to share? I do. But I'm open to other opinions. They are likely not able to say who they are, but otherwise this appears entirely within the rules.

The other vote I don't really like is llama. Llama pushed it in this direction and I had difficulty buying his reasoning. On the other hand, llama successfully took down Mac in similar fashion.

SVS, can you explain why you suspected marmot? I couldn't work that out. He seemed civ as civ could be after he nailed Mac's meta, to me.

I agree bea wouldn't fake being sick. I wondered if part of your vote was because you find it hard to vote for bea.

I actually liked Made asking people who they thought would be lynched in the other thread, and thought this had an awful lot of GTH potential, and it was another thing I wished I could have said. Talking about that towards the end of the day might have helped distinguishing between people who acted awkwardly because they had inside knowledge from their teammates, and people who had no idea. I never voted Made because I thought that this whole mindset seemed town to me.

I was also playing gth by moving my vote around. I wanted to be clear who I would be willing to vote.

One thing to note is that if Bea is civilian as well then there was no need at all for a baddie to flip like that.

I'm not 100% sure on the timing of juliet beginning her slip on her soneji read, but I think I probably agree.

juliets wrote:Yeah as it turns out my analysis of his meta was good I guess. No comfort in that though.

It was bang on. I have to figure out if it's just bad luck, or a bad look, on you. You also suspected bea, and I really don't understand why you turned around on soneji when you had a suspect on the board. Can you explain what pushed you away from voting bea?

RIP epi.

Hi guys, I'm back. Of course I wasn't faking, as though I could be that patient for two days.

I was doing everything I could to protect Soneji. I was sure he was civ and really didn't like the case on him, but couldn't exactly communicate it. Juliets is by far the worst of the voters in my view. She was right on - soneji talked about 'meta is a crutch' in response to me trying to find out who the socks were so I could rely on their meta, and he is not the person who would ever participate in gth (can you imagine epi being lynched for not participating in gth???). The case was really weak for me and so was juliets flip.

On the other hand, how Trump is a civilian is beyond me.

I agree with everyone that we had no good options though, just the best we could do. Bea may well be civ as well.

I'll try and catch up with thoughts on other things. So bummed I was silenced.

Let's hope sig was lynched over at the hatch.
