When was that? I had a target dummy at one point.

I just realized that this win will push Nev to the top of the rankings in the hall of fame! Man, we should've rethought winning with him...

Being on Indi's team is always a lot of fun.

Also, I am working on the banners, should be done soon.

Indi, that was not Devin's first game, it was his first win though.

Indi and Dex are the most awesome of awesome, so I recommend playing their game. Or playing Homestar. Or both!

Also, if any of you aren't already signed up for my Homestar Runner game, you totally should. After a crazy screw with your brain game like this one, a more straight forward silly game is exactly the ticket! Come play, only seven spots left!

Also, sorry to the Guardians, we actually had every intention of lending you our voting support, but Rusti died so quickly, and the code was apparently too subtle since we missed it when a hedge used it until she made it super blatant and by then it was too late. I doubt you guys trusted us after that, but we were not double crossing you we were just clueless, lol.

Linki: Mata, you played that really well. I could not figure out why you were ot getting that I was saying you were able to win with us, lol. When you flipped everything clicked, I can't blame you for trying so hard to get Devin lynched. He still had two protects though, so even if he had won the lynch that day instead of you (which came down to a coin flip in fact), he would not have died. I was impressed when I saw who you were, that was an excellent play on your part.

I totally didn't think I counted as a 'team' for the purposes of winning with you (LMS and all).
I have been running on an increasingly slim chance that I could kill one of you and then the other
once you'd wiped out all the competition. Yes, with my 10% attack. >.<

Honestly I didn't either. It was a stray comment to Alex about how I doubted we could win ow that everyone went rogue because we couldn't win with LMS that made him clarify that he counted e LMS as a team. However, up until FH flipped Morally Ambiguous, I thought you were Morally Ambiguous, you had me fooled. Glad we found our last photo last night or you would have been trying to kill me. We could have gone for lynching you and gotten the FEB win as Last Men Standing, but we felt that we would not have survived without you throwing your vote in with ours so we did not want to kill you when we could win with you.

Props to Devin, I think he played a great game and I am excited for his first win!

Nev, as you coud tell from the end post we did not have our final picture yet. We could not win with you unless we had all four. We planned on voting for Devin in order to see that none of us got ynched and allowed us another day to search. We were down to three people left unchecked.

Sorry we came after Bea 2.0... You got the short end of that stick.

Ugh, I am not allowed to be more specific. No secrets, I assure you and we are who you think. Bear with us, that is all I am saying.

Ok, well that is not what I had hoped but it does not make a difference. The plan remains the same.

Ok before I vote FH, I need to say something. We have something that needs to happen tonight but if it doesn't happen, don't worry because we still have a contingency plan in place in order to win with you Nev. I feel like we would not have made it these last few days without you, so we owe it to you to try and win alongside you. We're not going to sell you out.

*votes FH*

I hope you flip Thuggish Spice Girl....

I mean the result,obviously. Aces, you went out with more dignity than I have seen in most games.

Excellent!

Following suit, Voted Aces

Aces, you are 100% wrong about me. If you want to win, you need to lynch a last man standing, not me. I think I have made it pretty clear that I am NOT a LMS role. Iwillnot be voting for Devin and it is unlikely i will vote for Nev today. I am torn between Aces and FH, at least one of these two is likely the thuggish Splicer.

It's like I said,the only people who benefit from my lynch are LMS players. Otherwise she would have had no reason to come after me. But seeing how she flipped it now makes perfect sense and my hat is off to you Mata, for playing hard all the way to the end.

I am voting Mata as well, although I actually think she is more likely to flip LMS.

*votes*

MAta, read the roles again and consider if there are any others that could fit.

No, My point is you are making a mistake and I am trying to save you from making it. I am not a killer, I am not bad.

Mata, what I am not getting is who the confirmed Baddie is that you are aligning Devin with. Could you please clarify this?

Linki: Mata, you could not be more wrong. I highly recommend you look somewhere else because it will not help you at all. Unless you are last man standing. In which case any death other than your own helps you. But if you are not a LMS, you a bout to shoot yourself in the foot. If you all believe you MUST lynch one of us, I would say lynch me and then maybe it will help guide some of your future decisions regarding lynches. But I promise you it will be a wasted lynch.

Devin is a guy.

Matahari wrote:I agree with aces about daisy. But I also suspect that devin is a killer. I am voting her today. I urge you all to trust my instincts on this.
And no, I'm not speaking of info. I'm speaking of painstaking daily s.s. work.

You are wrong, Aces is wrong. Has it ever occurred to any of you that there may be another reason why I am not contributing? Nev seems to. Devin I do not think Nev would be the right choice. I really want to lynch a LMS tbqh. Those are a lot hard to figure out than a Baddie team.

Well, need to vote before work so Epig it is

Only a LMS player would want me dead at this point. It would be a waste of time for anyone else to place a vote on me tbqh. I have not been building cases because I don't have any idea who anyone is at this point, the LMS stuff has made it difficult to really get a feel for anything if you ask me.

Epi is out of town for a teaching conference I believe. I assume his silence is a combination of that and the fact that what time he does have is probably being devoted to his speed game that he is hosting.

I suppose it is in poorformto drive by vote so I am here to inform you all that I voted for Spaghetti...

My apology was for my fellow players, not MP. I already have my punishment, it is what it is.

Ok, I must apologize. I was torn between voting for Hedge or voting for Nev. I wanted to think on it and vote right before I left. Dumb idea because I ended up running behind while getting ready for work and so I rushed out without voting. A thousand apologies.

I see you said you wanted to hear from me, Dom. I apologize for my falling quiet after Bea's lynch. I have been busy between work and life in general. Yesterday I was out of town for almost all day for my nephew's first birthday party. I don't really know who I suspect at this moment because Bea was my last strong feeling either way. Then the last man standing crap started and now I feel a bit like I could swing a cat by it's tail and probably hit someone who would potentially have a kill at this point. I saw what you said about Nev, but I could also read it the way he explained what he was saying so I'm not sure it means anything. Either way I would bet if he isn't lynched someone will kill him tonight after a comment like that which could possibly be read as a slip up. Given his info he seems to have I am more inclined to believe hm at the moment and maybe toss a vote on hedgeowl. I have a bit of time to decide before I have to go to work though,so I want to think on it.

Linki: Aces, what role are you thinking Nev might be?

I don't have time to catch up, I have to leave for work now so I am voting Bea again.

Kate wrote:OK so Bea comes back after Indi and I make a pretty large case on her and votes for civ. Then comes back again, and doesn't even mention that case (or Daisy's) and just ignores all mention of her and no one thinks that's odd?

Not to mention, Indi is suddenly dead?

My vote will be going to bea today.

^This, so much this! I get that Indi's death is by a civ (now gone rogue) as far as the post reads, but all the splicers and security bots just went rogue. So let's assume that Indi was wrong about Bea and she was a splicer, well now she is a rogue SK, correct? That is assuming she was wrong about Bea, which I am not convinced is true. I am likely putting my vote there today as well, because the chances seem pretty good that miss Bea has a kill now even if she did not before...

Oh boy...

EBWOP: *votes Bea/Ajira*

Meh. So Dex's defense in the last lynch came after I had already voted. If it had come before I voted he may have changed my mnd. What I mean to say is, I felt like he was sincere. It would seem he does not have a role that is unlynchable since Alex already said that the unlynchable roles will simply result in no lynch, but in Dex's case Bea was lynched instead. So it had to have been vote manipulation. So it does not clearly tell us anything about his alignment. I don't understand the votes being cast on him now on the basis of "testing" or the idea he might be unlynchable. Unless I am misunderstanding the reasoning being stated,which I am sure is possible. I voted him before on the basis that I felt like he was acting super zany over the top in order to scare us from voting hm in case he might be Cohen. I still think it is possible that was what he was doing. He has gone pretty quiet now since his near death too. But I honestly can't shake the feeling he was sincere. Ugh.

I find the Bea thing interesting right now, mainly because I did not put any stock whatsoever in her first lynch. I felt like she was just sincerely frustrated and never saw any real damning evidence aside from a poorly timed vote, but that obviously can happen with civs as well. However, I do have to agree that she feels different this time around. Her posts read more on edge and then her sudden reversal to try and be friendlier with Indi reads a bit like someone who is searching for the exact right balance that might make people feel better about her, whereas last time she got upset and voted herself. That was sincere frustration, I'm not sure I am seeing that here now.

I guess I have not ally considered the GOB a case because I know he was new and I like to give new players a lot more benefit of the doubt because I want them to enjoy the game and play again, lol. Probably a bad safety game wise, but I feel like a life long player and me,ber of the community is more important to me than a win in a single game. However, he has now been replaced by Kate so I will just have to keep an eye there.

A lot of people have been quieter than their normal, but it sounds like quite a few are on vacation. Makes it hard to really get a grasp on anything. Regarding DFaraday Iwill say this. Yes he is quieter than he used to be back in the day, but i assume some of you have noticed he has become quieter in games more recently overall. I assume this is due to him being busier or something. I have yet to find anything strange in his behavior this time around. This is normal behavior for hm lately and it frequently gets him lynched lately, but I have not seen it to be telling of his alignment in past games I have played with him recently. Until there is more than tht to go on, I don't see myself voting for him.

Dom, you are making me really nervous buddy. You just asked if anyone has noticed we have Not heard anything from INH since his name came up. If he suddenly appeared after his name came up, that would seem suspect to us all I'm sure. How is NOT showing up when he is brought up for being quiet more suspect than him showing up suddenly? I feel like you are one of the vocal people who a helping to direct the conversations in this thread and I'm not sure you have civ intentions right now.

Alright. I need to make a decision. I am going with my gut today and voting for Bea. I luff my Bea, but I can't shake the feeling something is off with version 2.0.

*votes Bea*

Linki: And now INH is here... Not sure what to make of that now, given what I said above.

Dex.......... You guys really are making my decision as difficult as possible.

Nope, sticking with my gut.

I must've missed the memo on why Mongoose was civ, lol. I'm going with Juliet's, though I doubt it matters.

My comment was meant in the context of this game. I have never taken issue with your overall playstyle or had any problem playing games with you onthe least. This game has felt over the top. I suppose I should have been clearer. My brevity was because my Internet tends to go in and out and I need to get ready for work. I really am sorry I offended you Dex, not at all my intention.

My apologies, I did not mean to be hurtful at all. I just meant it isn't helping in this game. I really woud never intentionally say something hurtful.

Sorry to have been so extremely quiet guys. My internet has been spotty with all the rain storms going through. Going to vote Dex again. I kind of suspect his behavior this game is actually an attempt to scare us off voting for him. Plus, as I said last time I voted him, I am over it. Since I need to vote now before work....

*votes Zany Dex*

Well,it looks like boats is being lynched and I am fine with that, but my vote is going to zany Dex because to be quite honest, I am over his play style this game. So, voting Dex.

Well I need to vote now. I am voting Boo because I find it unlikely that he is claiming a role "as close to civ" as you can get in this game in the same post where he basically tells us that if we think anyone is friend rule civ friendly in this game we are damn fools. I was leaning towards him already after the "You" comment and complaints about his perceived threat, but that sealed it for me.

*votes Boo*

I am really confused. People keep mentioning the civ BTSC possibility, but I don't see it in the roles. Can someone point out what I am missing?

Remember Classic Rock, where he mod killed like 9 in one night, good times~

Other than for the fact that it was the game that brought MP and I together, I try to forget Classic Rock, lol.

Bea, I apologize for not posting last night. Quite frankly, posting contests tend to overwhelm me so I just get to skimming while they are going on in hopes of simply being able to keep up.

To everyone else, I could see Bea being looked at for the timing of her vote, but I have not seen anything I would regard as "forced" from her. To be quite frank I still suspect Mongoose of being on BWT's team more than anyone else. Vomp is a possibility I suppose, but just because BWT stated he did not find someone suspicious does ot mean they are on his team. I would expect him to be a bit more wishy washy about it if Vomps were on his team. Just my opinion though, obviously iwas wrong about Llama, so take it as you will. Now I need to go to work.

Seriously? I barely missed the poll ending. That is annoying to no end.

I can't ignore Llama's actions in the BWT lynch yesterday. I'm putting my vote there today.

*Votes Llama*

DH, I don't understand this statement, could you explain please? Meaning you think people had knowledge or that we gained a lot of knowledge from David's lynch?

On a completely unrelated note, my iPad acts up periodically and starts replacing buttons with smilies or mixing the smilies up or just putting them in weird places on the forum and it stays like that until I clear my history and cookies. I may never clear them again though because as of right now all my quote post buttons have been replaced by the FEB smiley! I am highly amused by this. It took me a minute because I could not find the quote post button, then I realized why, lol.
