BWT's vote on LC was the final one, so that specific scenario doesn't really matter.

But he could have voted alongside his partner? That leaves keys, MP, and Boogs. Or there is the possibility he voted his partner. Or Rob's balls are as big as he claims and he threw his only partner under the bus.

Keys, MP and Boogs all had their own (compelling to themselves) reasons to vote LC early, before BWTs name even came up. Not saying that excludes them from being BWTs partner but at least their votes were justified and seem in character.

Also, voting WITH your partner who's about to be lynched is suicide... I know it's happened before but that doesn't mean it's a viable strategy...

I don't think there was a big chance to save BWT yesterday... I felt his lynch was inevitable, like FZ's. Maybe if Metalmarsh had garnered more votes it would have been closer. But it was LC who had the most non-BWT votes, and there was a lot of hesitation to lynch him yesterday.

Whether she's civvie or baddie, Daisy's vote stands out, and needs to be explained.

Llama, especially because that.

Daisy needs to address why she voted for BWT. She didn't give a reason - and if she didn't read the thread, then she can't have a very good one.

Unless voting BWT would distance herself from her teammate, of course.

I still feel that this is the sketchiest vote all day, and BWT flipping utility makes it even sketchier to me:

She hadn't even read the thread. Still managed to vote for BWT.

I'll buy the Proximity Check for $100

Yay!

Linkitis: YAY BEA!!

Voting BWT but feeling kinda bummed about it since I thought his response was a decent one. I wish we could have had a chance to discuss the case a little more.

In fact, that entire team casually defended or refused to comment on their teammates all game, but they did it anyway. Epig even said he was trying to play the game as the "most obvious" baddie ever because people always say, "Oh, so and so wouldn't do that, that's too obvious!" But he avoided lynch cycle after cycle.

Oh please! The only reason we didn't lynch Epi in that game was because we were too busy lynching his equally obvious teammates. And then we lost because, well yeah.

You bring up a good point obviously. That baddies will do what they're not supposed to do.

It's gotta be Daisy, right? I mean, look at this post:

It looks like she hasn't read the thread at all but still voted BWT. :-/

So Llama you think BWT's a railroad?

I think Epi's case on BWT was pretty compelling, and I hope we hear from the birdie soon.

I'm riding the fence pretty hard on Llama. My suspiciometer oscillates frequently between thinking he's making baddie moves and civvie ones. But overall the pings are mild; he hasn't done anything over the top to make me feel strongly about him.

I have my eye on him because his suspicions don't seem as organic as they usually are when Llama's a civvie. You're usually able to glimpse into his thought process, see who he's suspecting and why. This game, I feel like he's holding back a lot of his thoughts, or perhaps his thoughts aren't fully formed because he's a baddie. I'm far from trusting him but don't have much reason to vote for him.

I don't think Boogs is bad, though I don't agree with his perspective for today's lynch. He's firmly entrenched in his own suspicions like a good civvie should be.

From my reread, I don't think MM is a railroad. I would like to know his top suspicions outside of juliets... I don't think there's any reason to suspect jules at this point. Although she fooled me in Dr Who

I didn't think too much of disagreeing with her opinion from before on searching for teammates vs. not searching for teammates. But given her reason for voting Epig on Day 1, and her emotional pleas now, I'm not so sure that may have been all for nothing.

My mind isn't totally made up though. I'm still going to see if anything else develops.

So birdie votes for Boogs AND FZ because of their votes for me on Day 1, but out of TH, LC, and me, I'm the only one who "pinged" him?

needs to be addressed.

Epi, was there any discussion in your jail cell BTSC? Or did you have to carve your thoughts on the walls

I'm potentially looking at a MetalMarsh vote today and wondering how much support there would be behind that.

@Juliets those were the same things I noticed about MM as well. I think he's more prone to being off topic and noncommittal when he's a baddie, from my experience.

Will hotels appear on the board when they're placed? Seems like it would work just like the railroad rent going up, in that we wouldn't notice until we're missing money from our pockets.

I'm also wary of Hedgeowl being quiet, especially after the last game.

Either way LC, you had to have known that getting that power would make you a target. Don't hate us, we're just playing the game too!

How's everybody feeling about Metalmarsh these days? He's on my list of players who are just barely paying enough attention. He seems to just be "going along with it"

I was going to say at one point Llama, that I would hope you'd play it a little more tactfully if MP's theory were true.

Llama and LC both seem super upset over these new allegations, wonder if that means anything.

What I'm most interested in now is hearing why Llama changed his opinion so abruptly re: LC.

MP, I'm actually way more intrigued by a Llama vote than an LC vote. Especially since he's the one who did the big turnaround on his opinion of LC.

Good point Keys, I forgot about the two-property sets. LC could already be a non civ.

It's the fact that his defection won't need to be immediately addressed that keeps me from voting LC today or in the near future. He won't gain a kill or anything, he just can't win with us if he forms a team. In the meantime I think we'd be better off looking for the OG baddies.

linki: Hmmmm. Must process.

Who're you looking at today, Con?

I hear you Boogs, but at this point there's still a chance that LC never finds his third partner (what if it was SVS1.0?) and so he'd remain a civ with one BTSC partner. I think having LC around in the short term is worthwhile since he can hopefully help us lynch baddies. But I understand your concern. He's an obvious lynch target in the future, IMO.

Today I'm more interested in getting a railroad or utility.

linki: Uh oh I wonder what MP found

I searched for LC last night, bee tee dubs, and sadly it appears we aren't color groupies together. I have recently come around to thinking he's a civilian, but I suppose at some point we'll have to turn on each other.

Rest in peace BR!

Can we have the post now please? I want to see if my team's kill was succes---OH NO I DON'T MEAN THAT! WHAT HAVE I SAID?

Llama made a jokey post like this when we were baddie buddies in Harry Potter Concerning.

Do you actually think your life is in peril? Also, do you actually think Boogs is bad or not?

It was something he said to me before the night started. I'm tabling it for now because the theory doesn't make sense.

I don't know why. I forgot they don't kill tonight. Oops.

I think Boogs is a railroad and is going to try to kill me tonight.

Yeah that square is definitely a buzzkill

Wait nevermind how did I miss Epi's bid

So LC should have won the power he was bidding on, by my timestamps. Did you not Auto Find a partner, LC?

Boogs what's with the harsh vibes man Calling me out to be targeted like that...

Boogs I'll sell you the Jail card for $300

Linki ah, I saw that now. Got it

Sorry Boogslybear

Boogs, it was said during other voting phases that voting ends 10 minutes before the poll deadline, so it's safe to assume that was the case today too.

$275 on the protect... just in case

I voted for FZ. I don't really have any better idea, and she seemed at peace with being lynched.

I'm with you re: Boogs, juliets. He's being a sneaky kitty.

Has anyone heard from Keys?

JC where are you looking for your vote?
