The Syndicate

1. We have yet to catch a baddie.
2. Job really thought that Uzz was a baddie.
3. We have YET to catch a baddie.
4. Job was NOT a baddie.
5. WE HAVE YET TO CATCH A BADDIE!!
6. I am trusting Job (even though I voted him twice :/) and voting for Uzz.

Rachel wrote:I think that might be true. I feel so bad for how horrifically wrong I was.

Me too :/ So Rachel, then do you think Uzz is bad, or do you think both he and Job could be civ?

well, its almost time for the day to end. I am going to job again. I think this will be the 3rd time I've voted him. I hope we are right about him.

Maybe those of you that said it are right about Pilate just being lazy, not bad. But I don't think his posts can be compared to Mary as someone said. Mary was more non-existent. Pilates post are decidedly odd. Also, every player is different. Mary's lynch may not have turned out like we wanted, but that doesn't mean a quiet, odd Pilate is positively civ. It could still go either way.

My thoughts are that Pilate is playing very oddly. It seems like he could be a new player almost, but then he said this:

Pilate wrote:I'm shocked that I don't have more suspicion by now. So this is the life of an unforgivably low poster.

That statement makes me think he is a seasoned player who usually posts much more than he has this game. Pilate is probably my #1 suspicion right now.

My next two suspicions are Uzziah and Job. I hate to see the back and forth continue on between then just because we are all confused on which of the two to lynch. I think one of them is most likely bad, I just can't put my finger on which. I have voted for Job previously, but reading back I am thinking Uzziah might be the one that needs to go.

linki: Well, apparently Rachel is NOT confused and thinks its Job that is bad between the two. And, fwiw, I think Rachel is good So maybe I should trust her.

I made it in time to vote I voted Job for reasons previously stated.

Oh, and I was going to say, even though he finds me a bit suspect, I like Balaam's lists. I have done them in the past (when there were less players) and I like it. It helps keep things organized in my mind. Kudos to him for doing it with so many players.

This concerns me as well. I mean, from my experience, when you are silenced, you can still vote. It just makes me wonder a bit. If you are civ, why lie about being silenced?

And, I think I will probably vote Job today. I know he said he would be MIA for a bit so that's not the reason. Its for what I said in an earlier post. He put a whole bunch of names out there in the beginning of the game seeing who would bite. Seems like a baddie play to me.

Isaac wrote:Thank you for these, Rachel. I found myself in the same mind set as you when reading through Jobs reactions to Pauls absence from the thread. I found that quite odd. I'm glad you pulled Paul's case against Job, although I would have said that it wasn't necessary to sway me. I did not realize how flippant Job was with his accusations. He throws out quite a few names and then pursues none of them, as Paul states, but then is relentless in trying to take down Uzziah. Who, imo, is least likely to turn up heathen at this point.

I've seen this playstyle before. A player throws out a bunch of names in the beginning to guage reactions and then goes hard after the one that seems most defensive. It sometimes works for the player, keeping the attention off of himself, but Uzziah doesn't seem to be taking the bait as much as Job thought he would.

Mordecai wrote:Actually nevermind. I see that the poll ends on monday, not today. Tin Foil hat deactivated.

That would have been a good eye though Mordecai. I think Epi always gives an extra day if there is a holiday (like Mothers Day).

Mordecai wrote: Secondly I have great disdain for the fact that you are placing some kind of "value" rating on players. Get off your high horse. It makes it seem like you think some people are expendable and I do not agree with that in the slightest.

People who don't post or vote are more expendable than people who do. Fact. Horsemen are more expendable than civilians. Fact. I have a headache and my knee is acting up. Storm's a comin'. Bah.

I do understand that those who are more verbal seem could be more valuable, but I have to chime in here and say that its best to keep civs alive, quiet or not.

We have a lot of anal players this game j/k. But really, all the lists on how many posts payers have made etc.- t is helpful to a point. I know I am not a big poster, but I do want my friends to know that I am here. It is my understanding that we may have a lot of new-to-syndicate players this game. The player wearing the Esther sock is more actively involved than you think. I am actively observant. I will post when I see it necessary. I don't think it is always helpful to share everything that comes to my mind. I sit back a maul, if you will. But....when I see something that catches my eye and think I have found a baddie, I am usually right. So you just wait for it. I will be helpful to you guys. Just be patient with me. I am a bad ass civ underneath this quiet exterior.

Now I will go catch up in the thread

Bye Paul! RIP.

Me too! My participation score is not going to be very good if I don't get my ass in gear.

I would have most likely voted Cain or Uzz.

So. Much. Going. On.

Look at everyone being so funny with their sweeties and darlins. RIP Martha.

I am sorry I missed the first vote. I have been extraordinarily busy today. I will try to be ore involved.

Mordecai wrote:The Apocalypse(Genesis I think?) because there are some wicked stories in there. Stuff about prostitutes being skinned alive and stuff like that.

I would say when most people refer to the apocalypse they are referring to the book of revelation. Genesis is the beginning, so that's unlikely.

I voted for the gospels because it is the truth we've been instructed to deliver to the world.

Know-it-all!

I like the epistles, myself.
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
