The Syndicate

Hey guys, I am in Ohio now preparing for the wedding. I apologize for forgetting the vote yesterday but then last night my internet for knocked out by a storm so I can only access the forms by phone which is really hard for me. My phone is not very good for this sort of thing. I'm going to try to get caught up and keep up. If I find in the next two or the days that it is too much for me with the wedding and all, then I will get replaced out. I'm so sorry for not being here.

MP, Because I think you are bad. I don't have that many posts, it can't be that hard to keep up with what I've said.

HamburgerBoy and Saberfish (and anyone else new), the way a host deals with ties does depend, but most of the time, the result is randomized among the tied vote-receivers. Sometimes there is a role mechanic that decides ties. Sometimes there is no lynch.

Aren't you knee-deep in titties right now?

Lol what

LOL, no, that's not my bachelor party. Russ is going to another wedding, his roommate in college, this Saturday, a week before mine and Daisy's.

I had my bachelor party back in December when I was in Ohio, since I didn't think I'd be able to fly in until literally the last minute. Turns out I'm flying back on the 5th.

And were there boobs? I promise I won't tell daisy

LOL, please, these guys are uber nerds. There were way more board games than boobs.

Sorry for cutting it close, just finished dinner and then caught up. I voted MP, feel more comfortable with a vote there than anywhere else at the moment. This is a crazy widespread vote!

Wow, a lot has happened. Most of it seems like silliness to me but there are a few interesting things in my opinion.

Ok, so Epi Just seemed to be throwing shit around in what read like a silly manner to me because he was trying to shake things and people up. I could be wrong but that's how it came across to me. I didn't respond at the time he mentioned me because I didn't see any need to. It all just felt like, "Let's get this party going!" Kind of maneuver. The thing that interested me about it was how MP responded. He seemed intent on keeping it light and jokey. Made a point to keep reiterating the how many drinks comments and when Epi asked him a direct question instead of just answering it he got a defensive tone and refused to answer any questions until he had something of substance. Why not just answer the question, it would seem to me an easy one to answer.

That said, SVS, you made a case that they were teammates. This I don't feel as confident about for the exact reason MP brought up. It is not either of their styles to play it like that. I just came out of a baddie team with Epi in Guess Who and he planned to bus and did it. I don't think MP could tell Epi howto playand I don't think MP would ask Epi to back off. There is a chance they are baddie teammates I suppose, but I don't think the particular case you presented is all that damning. So I don't see a reason to believe that is the case.

Also, I don't think there is much to "beer gate." It has felt from the start to me like MP's effort to discredit what Epi was saying. And Eloh's answer to it seems to line up with it.

I don't find LC's plotting all that strange or suspicious. He is always the strategist, it is very much how he plays and I'm grateful for it, especially when I'm too busy to do much strategizing, lol. Having said that I haven't read the roles closely enough yet to see if his plans make sense. MM can you explain why you find his plans to be vote worthy?

Mac, you are cracking me up!

I feel like I am missing something else but I'm pretty tired so...

I am up much too late and have been working on wedding projects.

The excuses are strong with this one...

You misread my intent. That was my way of saying, "Sorry, not sorry." Lol

Just checking in. I closed yesterday so apologies for not getting in here sooner. I echo what MP said regarding wedding stuff going on. Only I am flying to Ohio on August 1st. It is hard to say how active I will be from August 1 - August 14. Sorry guys. I'll do my best, but whatever happens I fully intend to have some fun here.

Never watched the show, probably won't. Sorry Logan.

I like rainbow lists well enough, I don't understand why people hate them. They are no different than asking someone to give you a list of who they suspect or trust. I don't make rainbow lists myself. Because I'm lazy. Too much time to change font colors. Can't be bothered.

I'm going to vote Trent, because I can.
