Did you have a bad day?

I was talking about Cain. Lots of people talked about it but no one seemed to care when it came to the vote.

I'm sorry, I just disagree with you. I think it's uncivvie to give suspicious people a pass because they don't defend themselves.

I'm pretty bummed about the result though. Sorry, Cain. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

"Don't defend themselves"
Weren't able to defend themselves. There's a difference.

Ruth wrote:I don't believe you guys lynched a silenced person. Didn't anyone notice him lurking in the thread? That was weak.

Had I been able to vote, I probably would have voted Uzziah.

I skimmed along a bit, but still need to finish catching up. RIP Cain

And I'm not sure I think Paul was also silenced; this is his last post. It was made on Sunday, before Day 1 even ended. He did not post Night One, either. Plus how many silencers are there??

Paul wrote:i have already made my vote today it will be interesting to see how everyone talks and votes

Samson appears to have voted illegally, unless something very strange is going on.

Is it the number 3 that bothers you or their proximity to each other in the thread?

Three thoughts on this:

1) If Paul was kidnapped by Herod, there's certainly the possibility that one of the "Where's Paul?" posters is Heathen and messing with us.

2) If Paul wasn't kidnapped and just busy IRL, then the "Where's Paul?" posters could be sheep and waiting for Paul to run the show a second day.

3) If Paul was kidnapped by Herod, he could actually be a Heathen and it's a plot to make him look even more civvie. This is silly to try now though because Paul wasn't likely to get many votes today anyway. Sure, he was wrong about Samson, but Day 1 lynches take out a civvie a majority of the time.

Is there not a 4th possibility?

4) If Paul wasn't kidnapped, and is pretending, some of the "Where's Paul" posts could be Heathens drawing attention (and cred) to that?

Ooh. I like how you think. But how would the Heathens draw credibility by exposing Paul for faking, if he is in fact faking? Because it makes it look like he's dishonest or trying to hide something?

I don't really suspect Paul so I doubt #4 is true. If he can't post this day then I'm glad he's off the poll. I think a lot of the suspicion on him is bogus. I could be wrong I guess but I feel he is in the lime light because he posts a lot.

As for some suspicion on me, I know I haven't posted a lot. It's not that I'm trying to lie low, I'm just having troubles following the game. The names and pics are very similar and I don't know who is who which messes with my own Mafia game tactic. I'm hoping to get my shit together.

My vote last lynch was not taking the easy way out. I really thought the lynch was over in one minute and the only thing I could remember at that time was Samson's vote. Take it as you may.

Easy excuse for a baddie to hide behind TBH.

Baddies don't usually hide behind the truth.

For the record I don't believe you.

Jonathan wrote:When Uzziah first posted that he was rooting for scum I thought for sure he was someone on our site who always says things like that but they rarely speak to his alignment. As I read over his posts this morning though I'm starting to have some doubts that he is that person thus I am starting to look his way. I know meta is not supposed to play into this game but you just can't help it when a comment that unusual is made, and I can tell at least one other person had the same thought I did. So I have my eye on him today.

I'm inclined to agree that killing Martha may have been an attempt to frame Absalom or Paul. True it could have been just the opposite, one of them killed her because she was too close but I don't think either would have been worried about Martha getting people to vote them.

I'd like to hear or see more from Paul today regarding his thoughts about the Martha kill and other things.

Really regarding Uzziah? Who admits they are bad like that? You are actually considering this a baddie tactic? Not that I think Uzziah is a civvie but good lord what a stupid reason for suspecting someone.

I'm a little confused. Whats the stupid reason for suspecting someone?

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.

Absalom wrote:Paul, your list is people you say are not scum hunting. What do you think of the very low posters, like Pilate or Mary Magdelene? They are not scum hunting either.

Martha wrote:

Paul wrote:vote for me then Martha im not afraid of you or anyone at least I am trying

Sweetie calm down. You don't need to be afraid. I'm just saying you're being way too crazy dear and your behavior seems forced. It's making you seem very suspicious and fake hunny.

That, and Balaam seems to be coming off a tad hostile.

How could you possibly feel good about another player this early in Day 1?

I feel things all the time. Feelings are not certainty, but they are a place to start.
