The Syndicate

Jumbo-tron gets my vote.

I am indeed good Sir Simon. I do wonder about your horse icon a bit.

It is now Night 4. You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.

Wow! That is unexpected, but a big win.

I had already observed the bull-snow antagonism, so I feel like snow dog has to be pretty trustworthy now.
I mean, yeah they could have been faking that, but I really don't think bull would have put *so* much effort into that
argument if he were faking it. Given that, and snow's response, I feel pretty good about snow in general.

Since my main reason for suspecting viper was the double-vote with snow (sorry McV, I definitely wouldn't vote for you now),
I guess it's a good thing somebody rewrote the ballots! Good call, whoever you are, though I think I know ;-)

Yeah, through process of elimination, I'm putting McV, Snow and you in my safe list. I'm still wondering about Krissy though.

Agreed, Mongoose. I'll keep reading about people though. Interesting rereading Bullz comments now too.

Baddies do it a lot, I don't see why it'd be any different in this game.

This makes me think DH might be legit civ, since Bullzeye is throwing suspicion back on him.

I just don't see anything. I've been rereading her posts carefully, and I don't see any sensical reason someone would scrap her. A few nonsensical ones maybe, and one real stretch involving the secret power..

It kind of sounds like you're trying to direct the discourse here.
So tell me, *did* she do something to earn said wrath? -.O

linki Snow: Not really, I think I've expressed my reasons sufficiently. I certainly didn't "ignore" anything, but I'm not at all surprised that you'd cast it that way.

Really? That's a bit of a stretch. I was just trying to start up a conversation that might have lead to some new people to look at or new ways to look at old suspects...

Reviewing Bullzeye leads to some hilarity. Looks like you were on to something Nev! Also reason Russtifinko was NK'd, was he voted to lynch Bullzeye.

Yay! A baddie is gone! Sorry Bullz, but glad to see you go too. So three left to go and 13 players yes? So not a lot of particpatory conversation from all players, myself included this weekend. Lets step it up a bit and get some speculation going about next players to vote. Its hard at night cause we are all worried about NK, but if you get your thoughts out there and are NKd then might give us a clue as to why.

Krissy, I have a two month old now, so I know how you feel! Thankfully he slept well last night.

Mongoose is loose, with a noose,
And some juice from a sluice.

It's nice to rhyme from time to time.

Stop rhyming! I mean it.

Does anybody want a peanut?

I am leaning towards A Person, birdswithteeth11 or DP again. It wouldn't take much for a baddie or two to vote llama and make sure DP survived. Reread the thread of yesterday's lynch to see how it all happened. Several of us noted the decision was going be between DP and llama, so we voted DP. Right after llama got three votes in a row from Andrew, birdswithteeth11 and A Person.

A Person, claimed to not be good at decision making when the vote was missed the first day, also didn't like any of the theories going around, and then less than an hour after DP gets 2 more votes, 3 votes for llama roll-in with hours left till the poll ends. I don't currently suspect Andrew, because he voted for llama the previous day, but this may be worth noting too.

Just think its all worth considering more.

So are both DP and Mongoose insanified or does Mongoose just like to rhyme?

Llama's gone and now things are just getting silly instead of crazy.

I am going with 15 because even one box more can be too much.

Nooooo! RIP llama and thank you for your noble sacrifice. You will be avenged sir!

Votes are getting a wee spread out here and I'm not inclined toward llama, so I am voting DisgruntledPorcupine again.

Thank you for the clarification hosts! I will be interested to see how this next vote goes down. Sad to hear DH could still be a baddie though. Decisions, decisions. Skipping over the pig theory I am still considering voting for DP again, but also wonder about A Person. Will have to ponder this, because don't want the votes totally spread out again. Yet several have already declared their vote.

He's probably not drinking in the middle of day at work though. Honestly, things seem to have gone a little wacko, but maybe that's just the energy DH has been bringing today, with these fabulous posts. Noted that DH voted for Nev as well, but can't ask why.

I don't see how he could know anything about DP though, unless I have his role wrong :-\

Does he get drunk?

This could be said about so many of us in this game However, Snow Dog I am curious if you will be voting for A Person again and do you have any further thoughts?[/quote]
I doubt I'll vote him again. I quite fancy a vote for you or Llama if this pig idea keeps going. feels like a baddie move to me.[/quote]

Is this an example of a "No U"?[/quote]

It was meant as an 'I've got my eye on you' in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

The NK isn't described as a specific role's night power, so I can't imagine Topham could redirect it.

Agreed, because it states:

Dirty Diesels
Have BTSC and scrap a player each night. The scrapping can not be blocked!

The bacon/pig voter targeting started in jest, so unless it is acted upon I don't think this should be viewed as a threat.
Unless someone is unwilling to share bacon, in which case 'off with their heads!' But seriously, the other leads are about as bad as this.

Oh dear, I was afraid that might be the case. Well, we'll wait to hear.

So many questions. Since DH has clearly been biff'd, is DH now free from suspicion or can baddies target one of their own to throw us off?

Hosts- Since diesel 10 may prevent someone voting the next day, does this mean the person won't use the poll or will their vote instead be ignored?

I am still undecided, but I am uninclined towards Nev. There are accusations flying back and forth, but I don't find Nev anymore suspicious than Snow currently. I am doing some rereads, but find little to suspect except that Nev originally was absent. Clearly, this has been resolved. There are also many other players who have not posted much, including DP, who has ignored my accusation and lynch vote.

You're just jealous that you didn't think about bacon before you voted.

It always comes back to jealousy. Give us your bacon sir!

For example, Mongoose, what made you choose green as the 7th person vs any other color? Maybe some viewed aligning with black and brown as baddie colors and wanted to blend into the group? Makes Lizzy and Russtifinko stand out, but then someone has to be the first and you don't know if anyone will join. Could also be a good move to pick the smaller group. Thoughts?



@Simon - This is how I feel too

I just like green!

Green is actually a lovely color and one I like as well. But Day 1 pings don't take much is turns out (RIP Boogs). Clearly, my theory has been summarily dismissed as farfetched.

Snow Dog wrote:Nev worries me. First he says he has noticed some things about the setup he would like to share, but refrains out of fear apparently, of doing so. The lynch ends and what is this marvelous insight? Simply a few words of caution to narrow gauge trains about hinting too strongly. Then saying that he is not narrow don't NK him.

I have my eye on Nev.

Yes, I find this odd as well. I also find the pig votes all coming from non-lynchers odd. Those people definitely have my attention.

I agree. As the animal votes roll in when the lynch votes didn't and all 4 votes for pig from non-lynch voters it does make me wonder. I can't imagine this would be a useful strategy unless they specifically know something we don't

Andrew wrote:What's the point of the poll? We're not going to vote out an animal. Are we?

Some people might learn something from the poll and some don't, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Looks like it might be tie between a few of the animal groups.

I think you are correct. I was quite surprised, but then it all depends on one's priorities. Maybe llama feels an affinity for his shorter cousin?

Andrew wrote:Cows of course! We need to keep cows. Because they make BUTTER and milk.

Goats do those things too., and are less heavy.

Sounds like llama is a lazy train. I am surprised no one has picked the almighty bacon, err..pig. However, I will also pick chickens for their delicious eggs!

After reading through everyone's posts, I've decided to vote for DisgruntledPorcupine, based on a lack of meaningful discussion. Yes, I realize this applies to more than one person, but i have to pick someone.

It's tough being new. Not all understand the goodness that is McViper! Granted in this game whoooo whooo knows what we all are?

It is true that the association of a Fez is good for me.

Making a decision is decidely difficult. I agree with you llama that a one word posting is insufficient and potentially suspicious. However, everything is also suspicious now. With so many of us noobs this may be a game that is more challenging for experienced players to analyze. I am reminded of a friend who had little poker experience, but kept winning against experienced players because he had no startegy. It completely freaked them out that they couldn't read him. I don't think this will go quite like that, since people may just get axed if they act too oddly.

For those suffering from cursing withdrawel perhaps I struggle myself, but more while speaking.

@Simon - This is how I feel too

I am willing to guess one of the early votes was related to enthusiasm and bed time. Plus it feels so random right now to vote for someone that it's really a shot in the dark. So I guess we are left to make a choice by the color of someone's paint!

Red was looking lonely, so it got my vote! Game on!
