And yeah, dead members of factions win too.

I have to wonder why Sprit replaced Glor. Glor was pretty active. I know glor has a hard time being mafia, so maybe it was too much pressure.

This is all I have to go on right now, unfortunately. So, *voting Sprit*

I think there are much more significant topics being discussed right now which make for better votes than than voting based on a flimsy hypothesis on why someone might have subbed out.

Okay I somehow managed to miss eloh saying this and I agree with quin. This is lazy playing, an easy out.

This is interesting from Quin, some soft defense of Sprityo and quin was on another wagon. Which could have taken off.

I think the troupe was trying to avoid being on the same vote as Sprityo, since that would have put them under fire if/when Sprityo flipped. So instead they low key defended him/attacked people who were agaisnt him and joined other or started potential wagons.

It wasn't a soft defence. I made it pretty blatant over the course of the day that I opposed the main reason people were piling votes on sprityo. If you're gonna throw a case at me, make it hurt.

Quin likes it when you make it hurt apparently.

I'll make him hurt if he wants.
for a nominal fee cash only.

In fact, I'd argue that Dom is bad but on the other team. Not sprityo's.

Why the other team? Also glad you agree lets lynch him!

I don't see Dom taking that approach with Glorfindel if they are on a team is all. I think he would absolutely do that if he were on the opposite team.

Aside from all of that, Dom has been bad a lot lately, and what he's been doing is right in line with what he's been doing.

Well I disagree with you about which team he's on, but as long as we lynch him and he flips bad I'm happy.

What do you think of MP's vote?

Well let's do it then.

*votes Dom*

There is another game going on. Dom did not post at all Day 3, and was lynched Day 4. He flipped mafia.

Coincidentally here, he hasn't posted since Sunday (early Day 2). I suppose he could be busy, but the similarity holds.

EBWOP: in the other game, Dom was lynched Day 3, and didn't post Day 2.

I voted Dom as well.

Less worried about a lack of posts and more worried about what's in the posts that Dom has made.

I am also voting for Dom, I think it was a very good case made against him in light of the sprityo/Glorf flip...as a baddie.

Sigh... something you should know about Long Con... I can be careless and make mistakes...because I'm bad. Bad at paying attention, especially when I'm having a few drinks in the evening...because I'm bad. Well, I guess it's not so bad to have a few drinks, especially on Christmas holidays, and I shouldn't blame the booze - it's my responsibility to monitor my own situation and do things right, and when I make mistakes, it's not...because I'm bad.

I have made a mistake in this phase, and it was unintentional, but I want to apologize to the player that knew it all along...because I'm bad. My intentions were to play it as straight as possible, and I messed it all up...because I'm bad. I'm sure most of you will fully understand what I'm talking about, and it's not a point I wish to belabor - in fact, the only reason I would even acknowledge the existence of the point is that it was my personal careless mistake that brought it up...because I'm bad.

So which one of you chaps is throwing Dom under the bus right now?

Can't be Jack. He brought the whole thing up.

Can't be me, because well, I know I'm not bad.

Could be LC, if he is bad. But he cold be just an opportunistic baddie in the opposite team, or a civ for that matter.

I feel like baddies right now are probably lurking the thread waiting to see if a counterwagon to Dom appears.

I brought it up first.

Also Dom

I do bet he is a troupe though not a guardian.

Sorry for the continuing low activity, I'm busier than expected, especially with Daisy's sister arriving in town this morning. I'll see what I can do before EoD but I doubt it'll be much of anything.

Epignosis wrote:This will sound naturally suspicious coming from someone like me ( ) but I say there is a large number of people ruled out for this phase.

Rather than focus on sprityo's team, I would like to have a crack at the other. That's a good deal harder than finding teammates. So there's where my focus will be.

If there's no advancement to be had on that front, then fine lynch a sprityo teammate. I won't complain.

Why wouldn't you want to eliminate one of the teams as quickly as possible? Would make it so that there is a kill only every other phase.

Really busy today. The Dom wagon looks really solid based on JoH's and sig's posts, so that is where I will vote.

Skimmed quickly. Still haven't read previous thread stuff. I'd like to but I might not get the chance to any time soon.

The Dom case seems solid to me. It's ironic that I'm plopping my vote there with relative confidence after seeing everyone else do so, but clearly I'm limited by time and taking a different approach this game. I'll try to be back to my old self soon.

Often a host will let the remaining bad team kill each night once a team is eliminated, and I don't say this...because I'm bad.

No, seriously, it's what LC said...although I myself don't follow this practice as a host.

Makes sense from a balance standpoint. Never played in a game where mafia alternated kills, so wasn't aware of the precedence.

six votes and no other wagons? Either the mafia has decided to bus, they're super inactive, or we're hitting a civ.

What's deterring you from voting LC, who you claimed to have read as moderate scum?

I waas justn going to vote Dom too but this gave me pause for thought

Too late for me to eread everything. I am desperafe to get to bed so either i trust the wagon and vote Dom or vote myself

Or vote Spriyuo

I voted Dom Good night

I got really busy again, catchin up now tho

Yo... 7 votes on Dom?

No one else? what happened?

I'm not sure why... I think it's because he defended sprityo? :shrugs:

I mean the cases agaisnt him where good, but not this good. Unless mafia is throwing him to the wolves.

Well who else would you consider sig, same to you Wilgy?

Spacedaisy wrote:Well who else would you consider sig, same to you Wilgy?

Maybe Quin or MP?

My suspicion of Mp is based around his vote, but it isn't that pressing.
Quin for gut mainly and his vote.

Nothing really solid for me besides Dom.

Sig- Reading your case makes a Dom vote seem sensible.... But just reading his posts without your interpretation doesn't make me want to vote him so I'm kinda meh right now.

Apologies, I went on holiday and I'm just not getting time to catch up.

Not sure what the deal is with Dom, but it's odd to see such a runaway. Might mean info is out there.

I won't vote: sig, ddl, daisy, mp, jack, nacho.

I will do my best to catch up but it won't be before the lynch. I'll follow the crowd and vote Dom.

I'm adding myself to the chorus of apologies because getting back on track after holiday sucks bunches; I might have a little time to sneak around in the morning but am unbelievably relieved to see Dom consensus although I don't have the time to read/understand why.

Shall I bus Dom?

I'm in the same boat.

Plus other games have distracted me... as a baddie.

Linki: I appreciate the support Golden.

I realize this is the most obvious, easy statement to make here, but I feel like the Dom bandwagon is too damn long and too damn unopposed to be legit, despite it having a bunch of people I trust on board. Unfortunately, it's too damn late for an actual legitimate alternative. So I'm kinda trapped.

MM, who is your top suspect right now, Dom excluded?

Don't vote Dom then. Don't vote that pointless vote, do something else...because I'm bad.

I would need all but one of the people who haven't voted to show up and go along with me on a wagon in the next couple hours. Barring any vote shenanigans, I don't see that as likely to happen.

This game really makes me remember how goddamn annoying unchangeable votes are.

Not to try and change Dom's fate...just to register your opinion or something...because I'm bad. I dunno, I guess it wouldn't carry any more weight than a post would...because I'm bad.

insertnamehere wrote:MM, who is your top suspect right now, Dom excluded?

Not sig. Not Epignosis. Not Long Con either.

I have seen good things from DDL, I have seen things I've liked not-so-much from him as well.

I don't have a strong suspicion at the moment, Dom excluded.

I prefer to mix it up within the game, sometimes allowing some input from the players...o r just letting the Trickster have his way with it... ...because I'm bad.

I also suspect sprityo, because he's still on the poll.

Guess who I'm voting for?


Not Dom.

I don't think Not Dom will end up lynched, but why do you suspect him?...because I'm bad.
