The Syndicate

Poop on an ever-lovin' stick.

Will anyone fess up to being blocked last night?

OMG what questions? I love a game, me.

Looking back at the polls, Roxy is the only person ever to actually vote Snowy in a lynch and end it there. Not saying this is definitive proof, but it's certainly interesting.
If this is the case against snow, this is totally bs. Way too speculative for a Day 7 lynch. Beside, what kind of role is "if someone votes for you, they die", and who's secret would that even fit into? Gollum? At this point, I'm tempted to vote DH just because he's the alternative, so i'm going to do that while I look for a better case...

linki: Snowy ++

Yeah, I don't really love the case against Snowy. I agree about it being woefully speculative, but I guess that's the nature of the game. Maybe INH can make a computer program to tell us who is the better pick tonight.

Hmm, this isn't Amateur Hour, and it just seems overly brazen for someone to knock the single voter for them. That would immediately attach you to the motive in a fierce, irreconcilable manner.

Same, I'm leaving my vote on DH for the time being, but may/not change before time elapses.

linki - I wouldn't mind that.

True, I was on vacation from early morning June 14th (Weds) through nighttime June 18 (Sunday).
WOW! I wish it were June in NC. It's freezing here.

Oh my lord, what is wrong with me?? Wishful thinking, I suppose!!

I have 25 lbs more to go. Slowly but surely

Way to go! And thanks for making the lists! I love lists!

I don't know what the Russ thing is yet - I think it happened while I was at work, when that lynch that I had all those votes happened. I was catching up in secret on my phone at work, and missed the Russ roleclaim theory. Care to tell me about it?
Daisy pulled.a.quote.of his.thinking it.leaned him to being a.particular role. Russ.came.back and said.he.wasn't hinting nor.does.he.do.that.

There has definitely been some brazen hinting, but wasn't particularly thinking about Rustti doing it!

Oooh, looks like the Sorcerers have been neutered a bit. I wonder if their kill on Night 8 will fail as well.

Ditto! I'm pleased as punch for you.

Some really excellent defenses today. Y'all are really in it to win it. I didn't really read anyone as trolling though?

I think Day 7 is definitely going to be a doozy.

For parallelism, switched my vote to Russti.

zeek wrote:Does anyone else feel like this is going to result in a 1-on-1 lynch?

I feel like it's some sort of tandem event, like the previous partnering outing.

I picked Lorab because I'm a weiner.

Who wants to fight me?

It might feel like kicking one of the shelter puppies in those Sarah McLachlan videos!

Well this was quite the thread to follow along while on Theraflu. Yikes. I have no idea what just happened. What in the what.

Timmer -- Sabie posting in my game makes me very suspicious there's a set reason she can't post in this game (as someone alluded to yesterday -- DH I think?).

Yall, I know I am doing as poor as poop in this game, and I'm super sorry. I'm off work tomorrow again for being sick, so let's see how it goes. Maybe I can enjoy a vibrant game of sick kid mafia this weekend.

<3

linki @ LC -- Awwwww

linki2 - the timing of her death was WILD. But yeah, I'd wager any amount of money she was civ.

linki 3 - It happens to the best of us.

They are both defending/arguing their cases like champions and I want to sit back and see how that plays out a bit.

I'll vote for Hedgeowl now because I don't really wanna vote LC or DH and I'm about to take Theraflu, which will basically make me seem like I'm on a serious acid trip.

My mind just got blown up like it was in the freakin Hurt Locker.

Thanks for the recap on the AWOLs, Sock. That's a bit tedious of a task for me to look up right now (being ill I mean), so I appreciate it.

linki Zeek - Maybe some event was triggered? I keep thinking about Sock's game within a game last year.

That might be fun. Just don't pick me though. It's a bit weird of a tactic for Day 6, but I don't hate it.

Damn son@ DH. That's quite the indicting rebuttal!

I'm home sick from school today

linki - 5 MIA people is a lot of people for Day 6. Have any of them checked in at all?

False, I would show up and throw myself over your coffin.

Also, let's all take a nice deep breath. Mercury is in retrograde after all.

For this reason, no one should be listening to MP's thoughts on anything, imo. He'll paint his narrator to be a civ, no matter what. And if his narrator is a baddie then MP is essentially a baddie, too.

But which side is he on? I'm ever so curious.

It definitely feels like something is missing without those 5. Maybe at least one of them will pop in soon for a cameo.

linki - Ooh, that's true, Timmer.

linki 2 - oh touche.

I guess the next one could be a hat or a bar of soap, eh?

I love this.

I have no reason to believe this isn't the case. Neither do any of you.

Well dang that seems pretty straightforward.

Some of those seem more likely than others.
It's a hex rather than a curse if that helps.

That's a bit of a nuance but I totally get the distinction.

I'm trying to catch up but I missed a lot. I'll do the best I can though. Looks like I wasn't the only one having a busy weekend!

I'm back from vacation and will gradually start my catching up on the thread.

I'm off for a while, doing all the mongoosey things I need to do, but will see you all in Day 3.

I apologize. I shouldn't have voted for you when I wasn't feeling that sure, but I didn't like the votes on Made.
To be honest, I think that if like I believe Made is a civ, then there's more chance to find baddies on his list of voters because it was easier to excuse a vote for him. I get why no one wants to give the wand to those on llama's lynch, but we all make mistakes.

I want to give the wand to TH, but I'm hesitant. I felt his actions were genuine last day, but who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I'll think about this a little more
Yeah this'll go ahead and put you on the tippy top of my list.

"I'm really sorry we lynched a civvie guys, but we all make mistakes, right? Lets not look at the people who lynched a civvie and instead look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over here."

Nah.

A million times this - good misdirection. I think that's as good as any a place to start. However, there's probably a good composition of both civs and baddies in both voting camps simply due the to fact that there were so many dang voters on each side.

linki - I don't trust Made for the reasons I enumerated in my vote yesterday. Feel free to answer this question as well, everyone who has asked me. What's good for the (mon)goose is good for the gander. If I'm going to make myself vulnerable by putting it out there, then I expect you to do the same.

Wait, what? You never explained why you trust any of these people. I and Dom both asked you and you explain nothing here.

I don't have concrete reasons that I can point out. At this point, it's just vibes on those people. The people I don't trust however, those reasons are a bit more tangible.

I'm going to go ahead and vote Dom since he has one vote and didn't just vote for himself ab initio and flee hehe.

Mongoose, is there someone you trust, then?

Hmm. You kinda. zeek seems an okay option. There are people that have been helpful, so I want to trust them, but that's naive. I don't think we've been in this long enough to trust anyone yet, but I think we have some contenders that hopefully we can come to a group consensus on.

The imp in me wants to say "Screw it, let's give it to Vompatti."

I hope not :/ I always thought I was more a hippie with my incense and kombucha loving ways.
Where do you get your incense?
Spiritualist store, health food stores, craft fairs, yoga studios, any ole place! You can't beat Nag Champa, but I like fun scents too. Love Dragon's blood and that fizzy one and anything citrusy. I usually have some sort of candle burning as well, and today I invested in an essential oil diffuser! I put almond biscotti essential oil in it (which I bought at a handmade Christmas market here in Tally).
I've not tried much in the fruity or citrusy department, except for a Orange Blossom one I found recently. I really like earthy or herby ones. I've been on the lookout for something pine or pine needle, but I haven't had luck yet. Maroma is my favorite maker I've found so far.

My favorite brand is Morning Star, a stick incense (I use conical as well). They have about a 25-minute burn time and each box of 50 comes with its own holder. They are shorter than average sticks, bt burn about the same, I find. I've tried these scents: vanilla, mimosa, yuzu, and green tea.

I'm very sorry to see llama go and the championships won't be the same without him. There were huge camps voting for each of those guys, so that's not cut and dry by any means.

I'm drinking La Croix. Does that make me a yuppie, like my dad says it does?

Were there 3 votes for Boomslang a minute ago or am I remembering incorrectly?

Also: I know Made is newish, but he's not that new. This is the Champ game, and I just don't buy that he would flagrantly violate the rules like that.

I saw bloop reading the thread a few minutes ago, kind of odd that she hasn't posted. Equally odd that Mongoose, being at least 3 or 4 points behind first place, just doesn't toss the comp out the window and post. IDK
Not too odd, given that I've been waiting to see if Mongoose would post since yesterday, but seems busy (which is perfectly fine and understandable ) Quick thoughts and a vote, since I'm at the beach with friends and we're going to dinner in a few minutes (and I may or may not be a bit wine-drunk. Cheers )

I'm in the camp with those not knowing what kind of ploy a baddie Made would be pulling by lying about being forced to vote. He's a weird player, granted, but this is not weird from him, and I don't see what he has to gain as a baddie by doing this at moment.

I was gonna vote for someone who voted Made early because of the conviction above, but Eloh's random gut vote for zeek is striking me as extremely odd, so I'm gonna go there for today.

Linki - Howdy, partner!!

Hi! Sorry I had to post out of turn, but I finally got home and wasn't sure if you'd show up in time

To reiterate what I just said for my vote reasons, I just can't buy that someone would be able to tell that his/her vote is forced, and I totally get using that as a ploy, but the only reasons I can think of are nefarious ones. Not wanting to have accountability on a vote would be good for a baddie team since they are trying to distance themselves from one another. That coupled with me not really seeing much on the other vote garners, I'm gonna pull the trigger and

*votes Made*

linki - I did take what Sock just said into account btw.

Also, the curse doesn't include a clause that says something to likes of "you must respond no, to every time some say you're cursed" because someone suggested this earlier, and I didn't reply to that message.

Do you feel like you are often misread on TS?

linki DH - I am really busy! This game started the very worst possible week of the whole year haha (not complaining at all though, host!). I'm going to be a champ though and push through the best I can. Also, i'm going on vacation next week, so I'll be gone for about 4 days.

As for Made, I wondered if he was even allowed to divulge that information. In my experience, vote forces are usually something a player cannot reveal, and thus I wondered (respectfully) if it was a ploy.

linki DH again - That sounds like a euphemism

linki MP - What do you think of my above analysis of Made?

Yeah, I guess I should, that;s a hell of a good point. I've been out and about and didn't want to miss the lynch. I am never sure if I have my clock on DST or not. Hold on a second.

Thanks for picking me, Ninjabloop!
