The Syndicate

BWT and TH for me.

Timmer - matches timmer town. Matches timmer scum. Can't complain with this choice, but I also feel as though in recent times timmer just always takes suspicion for being timmer. Kinda similar to how I felt about nutella. I'd like to see timmer get his feet into the game.

I haven't exactly read all of DDL, but one thing I noted from him is that he took a statement I made that was fairly clearly a joke, at least a little seriously (or he wanted to test if I was being serious or not, at least).

For me, I think this points to a more townie DDL. Thoughts?

I think I'll go with the assumption that Turnip is the incapacitated one today - I didn't see any signs from sig, compared to TH appearing silent at the bottom of the pages frequently. I'll more than likely vote timmer, but I can't say I have a strong second option right now. Of the players with two votes, not feeling a Boom vote, Sorsha being vote for banter and non-contributive activity gives me the vibe of a flip that could go either way, I don't have anything on Russ from toDay except that he's been bathing in his duel victory without participating much... could someone give me a quick summary?

I voted Sorsha and TH. I have my reasons but probably shouldn't share them with the class.

Kindly point to me where you suspected TH in the past (searching for "TH" in post history, c'est l'enfer, bwt).

As for BWT, all I found was something from Day 2... which didn't convert into a vote back then. So wtf.

You're my second vote, regardless of the tally, if I can't make up my mind on anyone else, come EoD. This is atrocious.

I have a new vibe of him being indy, maybe, but it's purely subjective interpretation of his non-committal-ness outside agreeing or (mostly) disagreeing with stated suspicion. A sort of fearing to lock on an option and face its outcome. A baddie would have no issue throwing darts at everyone, whether landing on civ or indy, as long as it doesn't backfires at him (apart from, in extremis, bussing a teammate). An indy, technically, could be in murkier waters and try to tread more carefully. His D1 votes look pretty weaksauce (DF, DP). Then on D2 he locks on significant counter-wagons, at a bad timing, according to my chart - which looks more committed and relevant, but isn't an improvement, I'd say.

linki: right there, Mac. To paraphrase: Wilgy would concoct WIFOM for MM. MM would concoct WIFOM for TH.

Surely Marmot wouldn't double down on his teammate though. That would be epic dumb. Would be giving him concrete boots.

Some folks said that smoking doesn't cause lung cancer either.
This is the type of thing that MM would do though: "he wouldn't do that"

Well now that's a fascinating development.

Howdy Sloonei, I think this may be the first time we've played together. Seeing as I've been AWOL since the beginning of Day 1, your fresh-facedness and getting people to re-explain their reads has been pretty neat for me.

I don't make anything out of it that I wouldn't to another person. The stronger I feel about Dom the more people seem to civ read him. I don't know if I'm supposed to be missing something but I feel like meta is beating out in-thread evidence. What do you think about Dom?

What things are you referencing here? How would you rate Moonrise Kingdom?

Wes Anderson is a twee god. I'm now contemplating an exceeding violent but also quite pleasant Wes Anderson Mafia.

Woof.

Bring back the 24 hour days. An extra 24 hours doesn't seem to do diddly squat anyway.

Howdy INH. I'm curious of your catchup. You've got half an hour or so before the thread is locked again.

How's it goin?

I'm also catching up, and I also don't like this.

I made it to vote! But I have to get back to dinner. Voting Sorsha and BWT, because some other people did but not a LOT of other people.

Voting Timmer and CapsFan. Timmer because I think the points about him have made a good case, he hasn't defended, and doesn't seem to mind being up for duel so may as well give him what he wants. And CapsFan's posts just don't add up to making sense. And I want them to know that my eye is on them.

Elohcin wrote:I voted Sorsha and TH. I have my reasons but probably shouldn't share them with the class.

Why? What don't you want the class to know?

Do you know TH is bad because he's your teammate? or because you know something we don't? (Can you even answer the latter anyway?)

yeaah you've only just tied Sorsha with the rest of the top wagons (linki: at least until LoRab voted, just now)

Harumph...

i'm intrigued by the sudden BWT wagon. I need to read back.

Maybe I was talking about Sorsha? Why did you assume TH? Maybe b/c he's YOUR teammate? OOOO!!

I am more intrigued by the sorsha one.

Today's votes are brought to you by the letter "T," as in "trapped under a tidal wave of terrible toil (of work)" and "time," specifically the spare kind of which I am in dire need.

Hmm, one has some votes. Perhaps I'll find a chunk of this Spare Time this weekend to possibly find out why.

Hah, or two! Jesus, I need a break.

Apricot.

Voted for Sorsha and CapsFan.

Caps due to his weird "lynch-me-if-you-wanna" attitude, and Sorsha for general weirdness and also apparently going after me? I admit that I screwed up and severely misjudged the amount of mafia time I would have, but how would that reflect on my alignment?

Not really seeing the logic there.

I also admit that Timmer has been acting nutso, but seeing as he's already most likely due for a duel, I'm not gonna throw another log on a blazing fire.

What do you think about the fact that timmer voted TCF?

I went for a longer run than intended and now i'm back with only a few minutes to decide. I am here and thinking about stuff. timmer seems destined for a duel, so I might stay off him to put votes on my two preferred secondary candidates.

I think any judgments made because of that would be inconclusive due to the two mafia teams, plus the cult, plus a whole bunch of other weird shizzle-whizzle.

Timmer + TheCapsFan

TheCapsFan and Sorsha

Of the candidates with lots of votes, they are the ones I am least inclined to put town reads on right now. TheCapsFan has seemed shaky and non-committal at times. I've not said much about him because I was trying to get more answers out of him before throwing an accusation his way, but that's out the window now.
Sorsha because I've spent the day waiting for her to explain a thing or two, but that never happened.

The school was having internet issues and I just now was able to vote. Going with Dom and Timmer since I wasn't able to review anyone else yet.

Who is a threat to the Han? Appoint two for the duel.

We must consider the fate of Rico Chet at this time. He lived among the Nanman as someone exploring their culture and land. His plan was to return to the land of his birth in order to provide valuable information to the prefect there, who was planning to invade the southerly jungles.

Meng Huo invited the stranger to a banquet, and at first Rico Chet declined. Meng Huo scoffed at him: “What true warrior declines fellowship with other true men?” So for fear of offending the king, he went to the feast. As he ate, though, Rico Chet began to grow ill. Meng Huo saw this and taunted him. “What is wrong? Can you not stomach the food of Nanzhong?” The Nanman in attendance laughed and watched as Rico Chet writhed in discomfort, as Meng Huo’s men had poisoned his food.

The reaction to Rico Chet’s death will be made clearer in the next chapter.

Damn. Sorry Timmer and RIP Rico.

I am inclined to go after Sorsha and TH today especially considering Eloh's implication. Russ is still up there for me as well.

Nutella out of those two could you really see them killing such active players?

I really don't think Russ makes sense. MM's vote for Russ, that's where it's at.

I really didn't think Timmer made sense either. I read his iso. When I voted, it felt like Timmer could survive. I think I need to look back at how those later votes came in. It's possible some were to save sorsha or TH.

I think people are finding some behaviours that are quite normal from people to be bad.

I also was going to come in today saying I found rico bad (after all his analysis, his votes weren't good), but then he got NKed so... I guess not.

Also, I thought saying I wanted to duel would get more heat then it did but it's like it went unnoticed.

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Nutella out of those two could you really see them killing such active players?

This was a trend I've been noticing.

@Golden - keep in mind there's more than one killer so he may have been bad. I don't necessarily think that's the case, myself, but we should definitely look at it from both angles.

linki: wha? I didn't see it. I'd like to see the post where you said that.

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Nutella out of those two could you really see them killing such active players?

I'm not really sure what your point is here. Why wouldn't they kill active players?

Also, the one time the Yellow Turbans got a kill through, it was on an inactive player, and I'm not discounting the possibility that Sorsha or TH is on that team.
