The Syndicate

And yes, I was clearly wrong about Cain, lol. I declare myself to have been misguided.

Hey everyone, I've read through the thread. I can see how my posts look blend, but it's a matter of life imitating art. It's not that I've tried to sound like I care but don't, it's that I've posted the honest intent to get active and participate but then my life has gotten in the way and I've had to make snap decisions.

For the moment, the easy thing to mention is Mary Magdalene. That vote post reeks, as do her posts. I'll be saying more soon, I just need to reread a few people.

Sorry all, life getting in the way. I will be catching up tomorrow morning.

Only in for a moment. I didn't like Cain yesterday and I haven't found a better case to replace it, so he gets my vote again.

Absalom wrote:I think it's weird that Cain disappeared today. Did he hope I would forget about him? I forget nothing!

I think it is weird that a lot of people are not posting. No Paul, no Cain, no a bunch of less chatty people. There is only one silencer. Paul I could see silencing, tbh.

I never thought Uzziah meant he was cheering the scum on. Turns out there are a lot of definitions of root. Not all of which I find it appropriate to post at this time.

Not that I'm defending Uzziah - I dunno what to make of him. But now at least I understand why people are saying Uzziah has admitted to being bad, which I couldn't figure our before.

I do not know what to even think of this post. Like, we are breaking down the word choice in Uzziah's infamous post now? The idea of alternate meanings of the words, coupled with Uzziah supporting this by saying that his choice of words was deliberately ambiguous, makes me swing back to thinking he could well be bad. This whole thing is starting to make my head ache. Also, Lot just sort of supported him again.

Public enemy number one is obviously uzziah. He point out blank said he's rooting for the scum.

I also suspect absalom. Why else would Martha be dead? She gained more than her fair share of suspicion day 1 IMO.

Judging Uzziah's rooting post would be a lot easier if I could know who the player is. Without that knowledge, it could just be a stupid early game comment meant to stir the pot. As it is, I don't think a Uzziah lynch would be a bad idea, but it would be lazy. Lynching someone for a post that could have been a joke is lazy, but it is fine if nothing more concrete emerges. I hope that makes sense. Off for lunch now, will continue to catch up later.

Pilate wrote: What does it tell you specifically?

You do not think that there is a chance Cain is bad? And that him picking up some votes may have made it a lot easier for people to vote for Samson?

And to Rachel, here is how I work. I read the thread in general, but I prefer to click the "in topic" button and read a player's post in order. It is easier to see apathy, suspicious tendencies, over-posting about useless crap to hide a lack of real content, etc. So I read through the people who hd acted on the poll and those getting votes, and Cain pinged me. I am sorry that you do not like that. I can write a gigantic wall post breaking down my thoughts on every single player if you want, but it feels like ever since I voted for Cain that you and a few friends have been actively TRYING to make this into a thing, and you are not even bothering to consider that my ping may be right and that those votes against him were proper. I am sorry, but I am not going to apologize for that vote.

Not at this time.

Here is the point where I mention that having only five posts, but one was to vote in the Day 0 poll and one is a lynch vote with no real explanation = shifty. You are barely participating, but you are casting votes, which tells me you are paying more attention than you are letting on.

Balaam wrote:Not going to lie, the number of people pulling the "aw shucks, trying is too hard for Day 1- randoms! " irks me. Vote spreading is to be expected but so is some level of participation. I've got my eye on all of you.

In the interest of keeping things interesting, I'm going to vote for Cain. Don't try to play five games at once and think it's okay to give us sass about why you're ignoring one of them. You're probably a civvie but oh well. So it Samson I bet. Nice bandwagon set up there btw.

Okay, I do not like this post at all. Balaam, you actually managed to scold people for throwing away their votes in the same post where you threw away yours! That's incredible. You tell me, please, how voting for someone who says they are overstretched but who is "probably a civvie" is any better? And since then, all you have done is discuss how Paul is not around. I read you as someone who is trying to sound like they are participating in the game but who really isn't very invested in finding baddies.

I am back now, sorry guys I have only had sporadic time to follow the game. Will attempt a catch up by this afternoon.

Rachel wrote: You just happened to pick the most recent event Deborah?

I'll tell you what. Prove to me Cain is civvie and I'll admit to being misguided. If you cannot, then why isn't looking at him just as good as anyone else? I seem to have ruffled some feathers by voting him. Interesting, and telling.

You guys need t p learn to read. I said I was going to look at both those who had votes AND THOSE WHO HAD VOTED. Cain was on the list and seemed scummiest.

I am not going to have the time to properly catch up. I decided to look at the players who have gotten votes so far, and those who have voted already.

I get a fairly solid read from Absalom, but I do not like Cain. I get no sense of civvieness in his few posts, and I think he misconstrued Absalom's position.

It is all I have the time for, so voting Cain. I promise to be more active soon.

This is going to be very difficult, especially not knowing anyone by name. I will continue tomorrow.

Day 0 = useless. Moving onto Day 1.

I apologize for not being around much, reading now.

Paul wrote:who actually thinks Ruth is scum right now show of hands

The only people who know are the Heathens.

There are two sets of baddies in the game (unless you think The Four Horsemen are civ?). I find it interesting that instead of saying "only the baddies know" you said "the Heathens". Is that because you are a Horseman and thus you without realizing it subtracted your group from your comment? Or maybe you are both Heathens and only said the one baddie group for that reason?

The Lord is watching, Rachel.
