Bye Tranq.

My vote is worth three today.

My parting wisdom is to lynch INH as soon as you can.

Me please.

It's a fat ass waste of time. You save your neck today, but you're gone tomorrow. That's all it is.

Save some reading, I say.

Hey Eloh:

We're not the "right" targets. We're just targets. Pff. I hate LMS. Justify self-preversation. That's all it is.

Spacedaisy is a part of the little alliance today. She's trying to get you to vote an outsider. Don't do it. Tell her no.

They're just all trying to manipulate you. It's stupid. Keep your vote where it is. Make them sweat.

It feela like a whirlwind. I want ti stick around, but i don't think there's anything i can do at this point.

Linki...i will meet ve to Nutella if it benefits me amd means i stay

You won't stay for long. You might as well get lynched and enjoy the freedom that comes from that. LMS games are popularity contests.

You folks make your decisions. I'm off to do other things.

No, no. I'll vote for myself before I permit that.

Why?

Because Epi and Elo are in an alliance.

Say what you will about us, but at least we're honest about working together.

I have never been in an alliance with her in LMS. My policy with her is always the same: If she wins, great- I won't help or hinder her unless I must.

I hope your faction turns out you.

If you want me around, lynch somebody else. I signed up for this not knowing it was LMS. I signed up thinking it was something else and then felt like a moron when I saw it was another LMS thing (I had just been burned by Scotty's girlfriend, whom I said I was going to help).

It just isn't my thing. There's no mystery to solve. No detective work to be done. No...mafia. Just gangs of people. That ain't for me.

Listen guys, Eloh enjoys this LMS shit more than I do.

Lynch me instead. I'm tired of it, to be honest. If you don't lynch me, I'm quitting. So go ahead and do me in. I'm done.

Linki: I am not voting Tranq, I've made that clear from Day 1, Glorf and Tranq are in my no lynch list. I made a deal with INb and I won't be going after one of his members because he has made good on it.

Oh never mind. I see. "Won't be going after one of his members."

So daisy is ultimately one of them.

I didn't know that. Daisy, I was working for you to win, and now I don't care.

I don't have a lynch immunity and lied. Lynch me and be done.

I'm not one of them, but I made an agreement specifically for this lynch. And I won't go back on that as long as they are upholding their end of the agreement.

And that makes you one of them until you're not.

That's fine, but I lied about the lynch protection because pairing with Glorfindel gave me a Night kill protection instead.

I have been trying to draw a kill away from others all this time.

Can't seem to ever do it when I want to.

Oh well. Have fun everyone. LMS is not for me. Every time I try to work for someone else (which is every time), I end up getting burned by the person I'm trying to work for. I get it, but it isn't for me.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 10:42 pm Is there any reason you won't join our alliance, Eloh?

You're about to find out how much of an alliance it is.

Quin then?

Now if one of Spacedaisy or Glorfindel could move to Tranq, then I could either burn the lynch or pass it on to Eloh, which I'd rather not do, if that's how it happened, so maybe one of you could vote for Tranq and one of you could vote Quin or Bass to have one vote there in case my immunity flips elsewhere.

Eloh, if you can swing down to Tranq, that would be nice.

nutella wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 10:28 pm The only reason I'm not lynching INH is that he is (supposedly) providing a direct benefit to me tonight. After that I'm happy to eliminate the clique members. It would have been nice if one or two of them besides INH had gotten votes today, but so it goes.

You don't understand.

There may be no "after that."

Switching to Tranq might be feasible. That would ensure at least one of their crew is down.

Switching to Tranq.

nutella, you don't want INH out. Fine. But you're voting (sigh) an outsider.

I feel like all of you want to lose to the club-wielding neanderthal.

Can we all get on one of them please?

Elohcin wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 10:22 pm Well...they want to end at 11 if possible.

Eh...just when I left, no one was talking about lynching me and when I return, I'm ties for moat votes. Just sucks qhen i cannot do anything about it because i have no way to connect if out of the house. But i was home for hours today and was the one that finally got discussion started because everyone was being so quiet. I think it was tranq that said he thought everyone was just too chicken to get discussion going. Not me. And look at the results.

Lots of linki i feel i shouldn't waste my time on

You shouldn't. People want us out. Let them I guess. I think the outsiders are doing exactly what DH's clan wants, and that's on them, not me.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 9:54 pm Shower is occupied. So I must wait a bit.

How am I a massive threat? I targeted Glorfindel Night 1 and can't be lynched one time.

I targeted DH Night 2 and killed Wilgy.

I'm just playing the game- no more and no less than anybody else is. You're trying to make up "threatening" people to get others to do what they want. I'm not a threat. I'm the opposite of that. I'm someone who came in declaring that he would help someone else win. That person isn't on your little squad.

So hell yeah, I'm a threat to your squad. If I get night killed, so what? I'm used to that and have no control over that. What I don't want to see is your pissy little "Anybody can work with us but not really" team get an advantage over the outsiders.

But the outsiders are voting for other outsiders, so eh.

My "pissy little team" which you took instant offense to for no discernable reason other than petty spite, even though it wasn't targeting you, and you could have easily joined the damn alliance if you were that damn threatened by it, wasn't in direct conflict with you until you decided to start one.

Also, I feel like we have a difference of opinion. We both keep reiterating two opposite viewpoints.

I say the Alliance is open to everyone and only a threat to people who don't want to join.

You say that the Alliance is a closed-off aristocracy and force some weird "insiders, outsiders" dichotomy.

Since I'm actually in the Alliance, I feel like I know more than you about what it actually is. Yet, you keep on keeping on.

I hope it was worth tanking both yours and Elo's game in an effort to tank mine.

You're not tanking my game. My game is never tanked in LMS. I go in and do exactly what I want, every time, free from the constraints of worrying about good judgment.

And do you know what?

I have never once betrayed someone in LMS. Not once. I've always been straight with people.

So what does this mean, outsiders?

I have told you this much:

1. I am doing my best to ensure one person wins (everybody will assume that's Eloh, but it isn't- if she wins, great, but I don't go out of my way to help or hinder her in these).

2. I've already disclosed that the person I am working toward helping isn't in the clique.

Therefore, given all that, would you, outsiders, rather burn a lynch on me when you could be voting for the people I don't want to win? Wouldn't you rather force them to find a way to Night kill me instead of you?

The one difference between me and everybody else here is that I'm not here for myself, and I've demonstrated that every single LMS game I've ever participated in.

Yet I have more votes than INH, Mr. Manipulator.

Y'all have fun getting backstabbed. I'll be around to see some of it.

spacedaisy, nutella, and Glorfindel should move their votes to INH and make INH vote for me. I'd still burn a lynch (not ideal), but INH would go down.

And speedy should reconsider his life choices.

Shower is occupied. So I must wait a bit.

How am I a massive threat? I targeted Glorfindel Night 1 and can't be lynched one time.

I targeted DH Night 2 and killed Wilgy.

I'm still feeling pretty good about all this, honestly. Better than I would have felt on the other side of a hiring.
And you just said you can't kill.

I just said I can't kill?

What's that got to do with being fired? I didn't hire you.

I put my vote on INH. The way things stand, Eloh will die and either no one else will, or a runner-up will be lynched too. If the latter, I'm hoping it's INH.

I am the least impressed by speedchuck. First hired, first fired, buddy. You goofed.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 9:19 pm My biggest reason is you are a threat to anyone who remains in the game with your ability to get a lynch save and apparently a kill as someone else pointed out too.

"Apparently a kill as someone pointed out too."

Epignosis wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 11:55 pm I killed Wilgy, in case anybody wants to know.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 9:20 pm Everyone is a threat, you are a bigger threat. I have yet to find a way to kill anyone. I suspect my only way to do so died already. I don't want to keep someone around who can kill or get lynch immunity.

I can't kill. My avenue for killing has died, Mr. liar liar I'm not darkness. If he were still around, I would be targeting him early and often and picking off his goons one by one. You did notice I picked off Wilgy, right?

So I'm a little unimpressed that you want to side with his goons, but so be it. You won't get anywhere today lynching me, and you won't get anywhere tomorrow either.

Meanwhile DH's posse is having their way with the polls.

I don't get the "needs to be lynched" comment either.

Who doesn't need to be lynched? This is why I'm staying out of LMS games from here on out. No real persuasion necessary.

"He-Man Woman Haters Club."

Killed Wilgy. A dude.

Y'all funny.

Clique members on me. I'd suggest you all load up votes on one of them, or the rest of you are done. With my "lynch," the numbers will be 5-4 in favor of the outsiders.

Tranq wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 4:07 pm Yes, there's Epig. Though i'm not a fan of that surviving another lynch talk. As nutella said the other day, if true it's a waste of a vote.

What's crazy is epi last lynch said he was safe from a lynch last night he killed and you are willing to leave a mad man like that in the game.

Mad?

I am only as mad as the elements I interact with.

So this means he interacted with an element that made him unlynchable during Day 2. He should be lynchable today (if he didn't get lucky twice in a row), and if not, could get immunity again Day 4.

Yeah i'm ok with an Epignosis vote

I'll be around for another 2 hours max if you decide otherwise.

I love you and your assumptions. I didn't survive a lynch. So this isn't talk of surviving another. It's still talk of surviving one.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 4:32 pm
I think the odds of him fusing with the right people to ensure his immunity two days in a row are low.

What about the odds of fusing with the right person once?

That's all it took.

If I think I'm going to be lynched today, I'm just going to target Glorfindel again. That buys me another lynch immunity. Simple.

I'm off to drink beer and eat grilled things.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 1:01 pm I still think Glorfindel, as nice a fellow as he is, is the best option for lynching.

And just why might that be, my friend?

Pure selfishness. I don't want other people potentially having what I have.

But that's taken a backseat to this cult speedchuck has unwisely joined.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 2:27 pm The alliance is only a danger to you if you aren't willing to join the alliance.

By doing that, you're making a conscious choice not to work with the group.

And if nobody else joins, the alliance is a danger to six other people...

...which makes it not much of a danger.

You can frame it however you would like, but what you've made public is that you four won't be killing one another and won't be voting one another. Is that true?

If so, then it's all I need to know in order to conclude that you four are a threat to the continued existence of the majority, and that all it takes is for your quartet to lynch two people who aren't in your posse, manage to kill one of the outsiders, and then, provided you experience no misfortune during the Night phase, you will have obtained a majority. Four of you against three of us. And you can pick us off at will.

Nah.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 1:45 pm

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2017 1:24 pm In other words, if that quartet have pledged not to vote one another and pledged not to kill one another, then they will be mustering their resources against them that ain't them. If you ain't them, then you is us, and them is gonna put the hurtin on us if us don't put a hurtin' on them.

If the quartet was exclusive, members-only, then you'd have a point.

But, the way it stands, membership application is open and free. People are gonna form alliances in this game, that much is a definite. At least we're being fair by allowing anyone to join.

Open and free? So everybody gets to join and work together as a team? All right!

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 11:49 pm I'd argue that we need to limit membership due to the small amount of people left in the game, with the number topping out at 5. So, there's one empty slot. If Bass or Tranq decide not to be involved, than they can be replaced.

Oh.
