Biblical Mafia [ENDGAME]

[NurseWilgy]

Do you not want to discuss how you and Paul are apparent teammates, Absalom dear? You seemed to only focus on the last part to get attention back off.

I'm happy to talk about it, but I don't really have anything to say about it. We are not teammates, I just thought people were attacking him for silly reasons. I don't expect anyone to find your collection of quoted posts convincing.

[Jack Shephard]

I am not buying this. I don't agree with Martha's interpretations and I don't see any particular reason to suspect Absalom.

[Gunther]

Not going to lie, the number of people pulling the "aw shucks, trying is too hard for Day 1- randoms! " irks me. Vote spreading is to be expected but so is some level of participation. I've got my eye on all of you.

It's what I'd have done. Day 1 suspicions are wrong approximately 1000% of the time. I tend to put less stock in them.

[Epignosis]

15 The night that Samson was stoned, the angel of Death came upon the people of Sin-d’kaht, and the firstborn of all who had risen up against Samson died. 16 In the midst of the mourning, Martha, who was childless, set about preparing for the next day’s meal. 17 Whilst she was preparing the dung with salt, a woman came, offering to help her. 18 “I do not need your help, hunny,*” Martha said to the foreign woman. 19 “As it should be, for I did not come into this dwelling to help you, but to slay you.” 20 The foreign woman laid her hands upon her and buried Martha’s face in the dung heap until Martha could not take breath. 21 And it came to pass that Martha was slain by Jezebel, wife of Ahab, which added unto the dead of Sin’d-kaht that Night.

RIP, sweetie.

[2 Stupid Dogs]

RIP Martha. This seems like such an odd kill to me. Martha was brought up as a possible lynch so why would the baddies kill her?

[Lunatella]

RIP darlin.

Public enemy number one is obviously uzziah. He point out blank said he's rooting for the scum.

I also suspect absalom. Why else would Martha be dead? She gained more than her fair share of suspicion day 1 IMO.

[Rachel Green]

Look at everyone being so funny with their sweeties and darlins. RIP Martha.

Perhaps they just found her saying hunny a lot annoying. That was my first thought when I saw she was dead.

[Lunatella]

Scum don't kill you because you're annoying, the reasoning is always thought out.

[Larry David]

This is a really weird kill. While I agree with Job that this points to Absalom to a certain degree, I'm going to go back through Martha's posts and see if she ever accused somebody directly. This could be a classic "Kill this person because they're close to the truth!". To be honest I didn't pay attention to her posts that much originally because I got tired of reading "Hunny" and "Dearie" with every post.

On that same note, I will also go back through the posts of Absalom while I'm at it just to be safe.

[Snapshot]

@Job - I would have considered killing Martha because she was annoying. Not having the kill be based on suspicions means there are no threads to pull (I would have said not a lot - but I really mean literally none) - that's still strategic and thinking it out.

[Lunatella]

Sorry but I'm not buying it. She was starting to get people's eyes. Scum love to keep suspicious people around so they can be mislynched. She wouldn't have lasted past day 4 if she kept it up.

[Lunatella]

But more importantly beyond martha/absalom, why aren't more people suspicious of the person who admitted to being bad?

Why weren't you attacking me this bad until I figured out your plot? I can't say I'm surprised that Martha is dead either.

I would strongly advise the civilians to take my imminent demise as evidence against Job and Paul.

Could be either a poorly conceived attempt to set up Absalom or Paul. Martha was spatting with Absalom and she voted for Paul.

Scum don't kill you because you're annoying, the reasoning is always thought out.

Always thought-out reasoning? My ass!

Paul is the only character missing from the stoning poll. Looks like he has found favor with David.

I beg everyone to read uzziahs posts. The first five are fluff and claiming to be bad and then he does a huge no u. Now he is throwing a tantrum. The wifom is unbelievable. I think he's mentioned a total of three or four people altogether if that.

Three or four is more than half the heathens, no? If you think you can find even one (1) post where I claim to be bad, why don't you go ahead and quote it?

I never thought Uzziah meant he was cheering the scum on. Turns out there are a lot of definitions of root. Not all of which I find it appropriate to post at this time.

Not that I'm defending Uzziah - I dunno what to make of him. But now at least I understand why people are saying Uzziah has admitted to being bad, which I couldn't figure our before.

[Lunatella]

I think that is a stretch. Those definitions of the word are far less commonly used in the context of his sentence.

[Echo]

I admit I may have been somewjat ambiguous on purpous. I'm just zany and fun like that! The above is the root meaning though, is it not?

[Nicol Bolas]

I was planning on voting for Martha for her crappy case on Absalom. I don't suspect Absalom. I still suspect Uzziah, and I'll probably vote for him again.

[Lunatella]

I admit I may have been somewjat ambiguous on purpous. I'm just zany and fun like that! The above is the root meaning though, is it not?

So are you going to share any thoughts on anyone besides myself, Paul and Cain or are you going to continue to be unhelpful and further verify that you're bad? I don't believe you used that definition of the word for even a second.

I'd rather have one of you lynched first and go from there.

[Lunatella]

Too bad, was hoping you'd help me narrow down your scum buddies. Oh well

[NurseWilgy]

For the record, I did not kill Martha. I'm tough enough to handle a little accusation. I can't say I blame people for wanting to vote Uzziah. He hasn't exactly done much to inspire confidence, but I am still nervous about Cain.

I never thought you killed her. It's too obvious of a frameup. Plus she wasn't exactly taking you down, in my opinion.

[Jack Shephard]

RIP Martha. I would also guess that it was an attempt to frame Absalom or Paul.

[Phoebe Buffay]

RIP Martha.

I could easily see those who Martha suspected, killing her. There's so much WIFOM in this, that there wouldn't be any consequences. Not sure it's what happened, but I wouldn't rule it out just because it's so obvious. I would kill a person suspecting me without hesitation knowing that people will just say it's too obvious.

That said, between Paul and Absalom, the one to get more out of this would be Paul. I don't believe they are working together like Martha thought. If one of them is bad, Paul would benefit more from this because Absalom was the one she really went after, whereas Paul was just assumed to be connected to him. Now, if we think Martha was killed by one of them, the most obvious choice for a lynch would be Absalom. If he's a civvie, and Paul a baddie, he gets two birds with one stone. He gets a civvie lynched, and looks better because it shows Martha was probably wrong.

While I think Paul drew a lot of attention to himself on day 1, I'm not sure it was intentional. I think that maybe where he came from, throwing out accusations like that is pretty common, so whether you're good or bad, you have to look like you're trying to progress the game. Funny how he was so gung ho on the first day and now he's quieted down considerably.

[Ben Linus]

RIP Martha

[Lunatella]

Speaking of Paul.. Why you so quiet?

[2 Stupid Dogs]

When Uzziah first posted that he was rooting for scum I thought for sure he was someone on our site who always says things like that but they rarely speak to his alignment. As I read over his posts this morning though I'm starting to have some doubts that he is that person thus I am starting to look his way. I know meta is not supposed to play into this game but you just can't help it when a comment that unusual is made, and I can tell at least one other person had the same thought I did. So I have my eye on him today.

I'm inclined to agree that killing Martha may have been an attempt to frame Absalom or Paul. True it could have been just the opposite, one of them killed her because she was too close but I don't think either would have been worried about Martha getting people to vote them.

I'd like to hear or see more from Paul today regarding his thoughts about the Martha kill and other things.

Really regarding Uzziah? Who admits they are bad like that? You are actually considering this a baddie tactic? Not that I think Uzziah is a civvie but good lord what a stupid reason for suspecting someone.

I'm a little confused. Whats the stupid reason for suspecting someone?

Either he's taking the day off knowing he's immune from the poll or ...

Herod Antipas
Herod shall imprison someone; the imprisoned may not post nor vote the next Day.

Then again, he's one of 19 players who have yet to say anything so far on Day 2. Kinda makes it hard to find a baddie when participation is less than 50%.

I have to admit, the amount of people calling for him to speak and his lack of response, is suspicious AF

Three thoughts on this:

1) If Paul was kidnapped by Herod, there's certainly the possibility that one of the "Where's Paul?" posters is Heathen and messing with us.

2) If Paul wasn't kidnapped and just busy IRL, then the "Where's Paul?" posters could be sheep and waiting for Paul to run the show a second day.

3) If Paul was kidnapped by Herod, he could actually be a Heathen and it's a plot to make him look even more civvie. This is silly to try now though because Paul wasn't likely to get many votes today anyway. Sure, he was wrong about Samson, but Day 1 lynches take out a civvie a majority of the time.

[2 Stupid Dogs]

I just want to see his (Pauls) response to Martha's death. Does he believe Absalom could have done it? What is his response to people who think he might have done it? I don't see his quietness as suspicious though since there is a way to explain it (Herod). Then again, maybe I'm just naive to believe that.

[Grand Scheme]

Rest in Peace Samson! I'm mulling a few things over, but I'm not sure where to start looking, really.
