The Syndicate

I could understand it if she said something like, "We need a place to hide." but she didn't.

To me that says that shes voting for house....not because there isn't one to be had...but because she wants to be inside of it.

I'll let it go for now, but I do find it very strange that you can't admit you are wrong about any implication that she did not make.

It does imply it. You just refuse to accept it.

How??? What words specifically in that sentence imply that she thinks we don't have a house? Does anyone else see this implication in the above sentence?

I'd like to know how I twisted her words.

You said that she said something that she did not. Then you came back and said that she simply implied it....which she did not.

Yes but I admitted it at the time she did not say it, it was my mistake. But she definitely implied it as you can see for yourself.

But anyway why is this relevant? I am mafia because I argue with someone? At this stage House was going to win anyway so I had absolutely nothing to gain. And even though house won Stevie died..so you are totally sure it was the correct choice still?

No, what makes me suspicious of you is you continuing to say that Roxy "implied" something that she clearly did not. You can't just say, "hey, guys, I made a mistake.'' Well, you did do that, but then you said that she didn't say it but implied it. HEre, let me pull the quote one more time.

Glad there was some discussion and I am picking Home. I do not want to be outside for the Zombies to find. Nothing better than being home and sleeping in your own bed.

Happy Monday all! <3

"I do not want to be outside for the zombies to find."

That is where you said she implied that we had no house. I DO NOT WANT TO BE OUTSIDE FOR THE ZOMBIES TO FIND. By your logic every single person that voted for the house was "implying" that we didn't have a house. She voted for the house because she wnated to be inside of it.

I think you are suspicious because in my experience baddies are a lot less likely to admit that they misinterpreted something. Civvies are much more likely to admit mistakes.

*Votes DP*

Curiouser and curiouser, you. You're voting for DP today? Really? Your reasoning is not sound at all. DP is a notoriously low poster...especially in the early days. I've seen him go days without posting only to show up later and really get into the game.

Couple that with you twisting Roxy's words...which you very much did do whether you want to admit it or not...and I feel comfortable voting for you today.

Vote: llama

I'm surprised this has even been brought up from the more experienced players. Not with Llama, as he is fairly new. But Rey?

Pardon? I never said that I would vote a low poster or that I was even considering it. I think you have me confused with someone else.

Roxy wrote:To add to the "active" player discussion - I do not buy it . I am far from active and never a top poster yet I am often lynched or NK'ed early.
It happens to us all in games. You cannot win them all every time, and just b/c you post a lot does not necessarily equate to suspicions.
At least not for me.

Linky - Snow Dog. We needed to choose House, Bank or Ship. I choose House so I would not be outside available for Zombie munching. That does not say no house exists, no ship exists, no bank exists. It says I voted House so I can be safe and not outside. Way to twist my words into a knot!

Stop this now. I twisted nothing as everyone can observe.

But you did twist what she said....very much so. Now, whether or not you were doing it on purpose, I don't know yet.

I now do not understand what you meant by the "pretext" stuff.

Well you did say that bat first but never mind. As I said. I wasn't questioning you in particular. It was a query to all house voters. It really doesn't matter. I thought people may have misread the host post that is all.

No. No I never said that at first (or bat first).
Either way you trying to shove words down my post.
Please do not insinuate that I meant and posted something when I did not.

True. You never said it but implied it.

You said she didn't say that we didn't have a home, but she implied it.

Where is the implication that we didn't have a home??? She voted for the house because she didn't want to be outside for the zombies to find her. No where in there is any implication that we didn't have a home. She voted for the house because she wanted to be inside of it. I'm really curious how you came to the conclusion that you did.

and I agree with....BWT? That llama's comments about Roxy were a little suspicious. It read to me like llama was trying to pile on to Roxy and fan the flames of the discussion.

And MP third game in a row as a baddie? What are the chances?

This seems awfully defensive, especially since I don't seem to be saying you are baddie.

It is not intended to be defensive. I am saying i understand your suspicions(only suspicions) and that chances are that YOU are not a baddie this time.

I find these two comments by Snow Dog to be a little odd. I don't understand why they were even said tbh. The first one seems to have been said to put suspicion on MP. Then the 2nd seemed like a backtrack.

I find that I win less games than people tend to think I do because I do tend to be that way, assuming I have the available free time to do so.

Well said. I appreciate that the three of us tend to have an active play style and it annoys me as well that it so often leads to targeting. I certainly take play style into consideration, and try to avoid punishing people for participating and making the game fun.

Well, if you compare an active player to a non active player, there is naturally going to be more of a chance that an active player will say something to warrant suspicion over a non active player. It doesn't automatically lead suspicion, though, just because a person posts more. It does happen a lot more often for a new player, of course, but once that player develops a "style" that can be observed a few times said person is less and less likely to be found suspicious while being talkative...if that makes any sense?

I'm sorry...since it was Easter, I assumed that people would need 2 days to check in, but looks like everyone is here. I can start day one tonight if everyone wants me too and all the votes are in.

I say yes, Kate. I wanna get the game started

I notice you are posting in blue. Blue is normally for non players. Orange is the color of sarcasm. and Red is for dead players. And of course, the hosts have their own colors. Normally players just post in white to avoid any confusion.

I voted for the house btw.

oh yeah, and green is off topic

Thank you, but surely you must realize that I can only have one animal pseudonym (as the widely known rule dictates), and I've chosen, perhaps unwisely, to go with llama rather than wolverine.

good point.

I think Logan was referencing the Stevies' general disinterest in profitable labor.

Interesting discussion. It still sounds to me like the house is the best option, but now that we know there will be no night zero I'm not so sure what it matters?

From what I've read so far, the house sounds like the best choice, but I will wait to vote since there is still lots of time. I'll wait till we've heard from everyone at least.

it looks fine to me. I have black background, though.
