The Syndicate

I was feeling that way too. However, DF flipping civ after Epig flip-flopped may still make this work out. So not all is lost.

I need to sleep though so we'll discuss more tomorrow.

Unfortunately, no, there are still 3 living players above you in total posts: Epignosis, birdwithteeth11, and BigDamnHero in that order. If you click the red number under REPLIES for the Psych thread here, you can see a running tally of everyone's in-thread post counts.

I thought it was top three posters that phase?

Let me double check and confer with Daisy even if it isn't.

Yeah, this is what I have:

Jack Atwater – May only use the kill if (Secrets) he currently is one of the top three posters in the game at the end of the preceding day period.

But let me see what Daisy says and we'll let you know.

OK, I talked with Daisy and since you were on a consistently different page than us, and since you worked so hard during the last phase, AND we realize the difficulty of this stipulation if you ever get too far behind, we've decided to change it to:

MovingPictures07 wrote:Jack Atwater – May only use the kill if (Secrets) he currently is one of the top three posters during the preceding day period.

Which won't retroactively affect anything anyway since you didn't meet that criteria until now. And no one else but you two will ever know.

So you have the kill tonight.

I'm still dead. So sad...

Also, a reminder:

INH has two items: Pineapple (which he just received and can nullify another player's vote but gets passed to them) and Priceless Coin (which can force another player's vote and then gets put in the safe).

BWT has one item: Engagement Ring (which is worthless, however).

I think with this NK, we have to try and get out Yang. We tried NK'ing Epi I think Night 3, but the kill failed. If I had to guess, I think it was because he's Yin. BDH is pretty much confirmed as Lassie, so he's not gonna be Yang.

That means the three candidates are, if we assume Epi is Yang: Elohcin, Russ 2.0, and Timmer.

Of those 4, Elo strikes me as the most likely, but I could also see a case for Timmer. The one thing I can't get past is the sheer improbability of Elo and Epi both being put into a serial killer duo. That's kind of too perfect.

Also I got this:

Lassiter has hooked you up to his polygraph. You must answer the following five questions. The only catch it that you must lie about at least two of your answers. Here are the questions:

1) Have you killed anyone?
2) At any point in the game have you had BTSC?
3) Do you have my cup of coffee?
4) If role checked, will you appear as bad?
5) Do you have an active night power?

Please return this to me by the end of the night if you could.

Does Lassie know that I'm gonna lie about two questions? And would I qualify as having killed someone because of tonight's NK? How does that timing work?

I cannot tell you what Lassiter will know. And as of the time you will be answering these questions, the answer is no you have not killed anyone.

I agree that one of those 3 has to be Yang. The bad part is I can see good possibilities for it being any of those 3.

I think the Elohcin thing is almost too perfect though. With how she's been lurking in the shadows the entire game, I think it's either because she's the indy and is just trying to survive, or she's Yang and knows she can't be lynched.

I also think we need to push hard for an Epig lynch. Because if we can get rid of him, then we stand a good chance to have a numbers advantage and close this game out.

So, accepting that Epi is Yin and BDH is Lassie, we're left with Timmer, Russ 2.0, and Elo.

One is Epi's teammate, and someone who we desperately need out if we want to win this game.

One is Pierre Desperaux who needs to simply survive to the end to win.

One is Henry Spencer, one of two civilians left.

I'm leaning towards Russ being Henry, simply because I don't see Epi's teammate going after him like that. Timmer just doesn't fit the role of Pierre to me, he's been too out there. Elo, however, seems exactly how I'd play if I was a "win with anyone" independent.

Timmer, meanwhile, looking through his posts, has remained mostly quiet on Epi, while attacking me and hinting that he'd be open to lynching Russ. Looking through all three player's posts, he's who I think is the most likely to be Epi's teammate, and who I'm gonna try and kill tonight, barring any crazy happenstances.

Please return this to me by the end of the night if you could.

Does this look good to you BWT? I think I should be able to pass scot-free even if BDH knows about the two lies, especially if he thinks that I'm Pierre.

I agree. I think that's our best bet if you can pass yourself off as Pierre. Go for it.

Go for it. If you think he's most likely to be Epig's teammate, then I'm all for it.

I'm also gonna use my Priceless Coin on Epi to make him toss a vote your way tomorrow. That way we have a guaranteed vote tomorrow.

Nice job guys. Frankly, I think you've got this thing under control.

We almost have a sweep, since I technically wasn't lynched.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and vote for Russ 2.0. Plus I still have a cover to keep. If he gets lynched and we successfully NK another person, we're down to 1 civ and Mr. Yin. If we get to that point, the game is pretty much over.

HE'S GONNA KILL SOMEONE AT THE END OF DAY

I WOULD BE FLABBERGASTED IF IT'S NOT YOU OR ME

Are you saying you think that I should vote for Epig?

Speak now or forever hold your peace. We have about 90 minutes to decide this.

Oh nevermind. I see that the votes changed pretty quickly. Epig is going down.

I need to catch up first though. I just worked 12 hours each of the last 2 days and I'm exhausted. But I'm going to attempt some semblance of acting like this is genuine.

If we pull this off, we win the whole damn thing.

Ironically, this'll be the only time a baddie is ever lynched.

I really hope he ends up killing Russ and just giving us the win. That would be amazing.

And based on Epig's responses to my vote and explanation, I'll be shocked if he isn't Yin.

If he does kill me as he's desperately hinting at, you should be alright. Kill BDH and suspect Russ.

I've been setting him up as a sham teammate for me for days.

That was my plan all along. If BDH dies and I can get Russ lynched, then I think it ends there.

Welp, that about does it. Good game chaps.
