Anyway, Turnip Head.
I am convinced that he is on a team with Epignosis, and perhaps Dom as well.
Let's begin with the Day 1 reactions, especially those regarding blindfaeth. Everyone surely remembers when blindfaeth came forward early, saying that he has an item that could help him learn who the millionaire is. After he did so, he made a comment about a couple players' reactions. TH was one of them.
Turnip Head wrote:blindfaeth wrote:Yes but my point is, the two people I think are suspicious PRIOR to my item are acting in a way I would expect them to if they were worried about me being correct, namely, that I know the identity of their teammate. Bullz and TH can certainly defend against this, don't you agree?
I'm not worried about you being correct. I asked the "What do you guys see?" Question after BR said she saw something too. I don't get why you wouldn't just talk about it and dance around your suspicions. I'm interested I'm discussion. I had no idea that what you saw was related to me, but it's not like I'm worried, I know that my vote was an innocent mistake.
I'm not saying I'm incapable of making mistakes as a baddie, but the scenario that you're painting has me INTENTIONALLY making these mistakes, and that's something I would not do. As a baddie I know better than to draw attention to myself on Day 1. Anything out of the ordinary is usually enough to get lynched when there's nothing else to go on. The move you're saying I made is something I personally would never do.
So blindfaeth calls a couple people out specifically based on their reactions to the information he brought forward. This is worth noting since blindfaeth is a known civilian. Blindfaeth also voted for Epignosis on Day 1.
Just a bit after this, TH asked Dom why he picked the item he did.
Turnip Head wrote:Dom, can you talk a little bit about why you chose the Promissory Note item on Day 0?
This question just seems out of the blue. Why does TH care about Dom's item, but not about anyone else's item? This smells of distancing, and a calculated form of distancing at that. blindfaeth had just accused TH about worrying about the safety of the millionaire, so TH immediately changes the subject. If he is a baddie, then what better way then to call upon a teammate. TH never followed up on the question
After this TH asked Dom a question for clarification on some of Dom's accusations and interactions.
Turnip Head wrote:Honestly Dom I got the same impression from your post that LC, rabbit, BF and Golden did, and now that you've clarified that that wasn't your intention, I actually have NO idea what you're getting at re: juliets. Asking her if she was addressing all civs by saying "us", what does that even mean, what is your point re: juliets? Your follow-up question to her makes no sense to me, but I guess I'll wait to hear juliets' response to it in any case. But it feels like you're backpedaling.
Speaking of waiting for responses, I'm still waiting on Mongoose to address my post directed towards her. Her three posts from this past day are as follows:
Mongoose wrote:MovingPictures07 wrote:Dang it, I should have counted to 10, I feel bad for reacting emotionally now instead of rationally. :P But I'm in too deep now. VOTE ME. And stuff. BBL.
It's okay hoss, we've all been there.
Huge deadline at COB tomorrow so I am spending my afternoon break doing a Scan & Ran with you lot. Seems like typical "mountains of molehill" Day 1 shenanigans, but nothing is toooo concerning to me yet
(and I sure as hell don't have anything more compelling to add other than I made a "It has proudly been 3 days since our last velociraptor accident" sign for my office door).
I'll be voting early (tomorrow)
because I leave for St Pete Saturday morning for a business trip and will be gone through Tuesday.
So it sounded like she had scanned the thread, because she commented how the day's cases looked like mountains of molehills fare.
Then she replied to a post that wasn't addressed to her:
Mongoose wrote:fingersplints wrote:Idk BR. If it was anyone other than MP I might think you were on to something, but he is so detail oriented I'm not really shocked he would have read the rules. Even I noticed that you can't have two people vote the same option and I am pretty notorious for not reading things like that carefully.
worth considering though
so bf - the TH/Bullz things are seperate from the will thing? I'm trying to get what you are saying here
I'm frankly surprised I read the instructions and am not one of the ones who voted second for one of the items. That's a welcome change.
And then she made an off-topic comment directed to the host:
Mongoose wrote:thellama73 wrote:Hey everyone!
Since we have a little extra time today, let's have a fun game. The roles on the front page need pictures to go along with them. Please submit a picture of your role to me via PM by the end of Night 1. My favorite gets a prize. Please nothing too racist for the Celestials.
*spat out tea in laughter*
I like the qualifier of "too" racist, with the intimation being that "a little racist" is permissible.
Yet she didn't reply to my post addressed to her. For now I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she just hadn't read that far into the thread, even though her first post made it sound like she had scanned the whole thread to that point. So that's strange, but I'll withhold from further judgment until she replies to my first post and to this subsequent post.
Included in this question to Dom are some accusations against Mongoose. So at this point, it reads to me like Mongoose is TH's biggest suspect. However, Sophie later replaced Mongoose that day, so I guess it's fair that TH didn't actually vote there.
After Dom answered TH's question, TH seemed to accept his answer.
Turnip Head wrote:Fair enough Dom, I suppose that makes sense.
Then anther suspecting question for Dom.
Turnip Head wrote:Dom wrote:Turnip Head wrote:Dom wrote:TH-- I'm juggling suspicions? Please-- look at how many different people BF has thrown shade at for no reason. Do you suspect BF for the same reason then? I just don't understand why suspecting 2 people (MP and BF) makes me someone who is throwing things out for no reason. I questioned juliets. Do you find it unusual for me to question people? I doubt that.
I'd rather not talk about the MP situation given the last time we did the result that ensued. I don't think we need to rehash that? Like... what else was I supposed to post? MP had a total meltdown over me asking 2 questions and didn't answer the second one. I felt responsible for MP's meltdown. I don't want to explore it again?
I don't think you questioning people is unusual (thanks for answering for me before I replied though :P ), but questioning juliets specifically, about that specific thing? I did think that was a little over the top. It felt like a normal juliets thing to say and I thought you would have agreed with me on that point.
Fair enough about MP.
If it makes you feel any better-- I was satisfied with juliets answer.
But all her answer did was confirm that she was talking about the civs... which is what I thought you were suspicious of her for?
Followed by another accepting answer by TH.
Turnip Head wrote:Gotchya Dom. Okay.
It looks like TH is trying to set himself up for a vote for Dom, but he continues to back off and accept Dom's responses.
Then we have this doozy of a post (the Zomba part of it).
Turnip Head wrote:Epignosis wrote:Zomberella12 wrote:blindfaeth wrote:Oh well, if people are interested in lynching me I suppose I'll share what I know. At least if I die, SVS won't be able to lie to you about whose will it is. It is Zomberellas will. The reason I did not come after her in the thread as many of you suggested is because she was literally absent for so long. Which I think is oddly convenient, but whatever. Final thoughts, I think dom is bad, he's only analytical like this when he has a team. I think epi and bills are bad. Think SVS is misguided. Good luck
Well, I think BF ruined my role. Thanks, for that. Civvie or not, you blew it!
Now that's interesting, right there.
Indeed.
Epignosis and TH immediately respond with a "Well that's interesting". But curiously, neither of them ever followed up on it, just left it at that. I believe that this was a set-up for themselves. If the lynch were to sway Zomba's direction, they are in perfect position to pile their votes on. But the lynch didn't sway that direction, so they were in a position to back right off of that suspicion. This is one of many examples of TH and Epignosis being on the same page, and I will address that in a bit.
But leading up to the lynch, TH began pushing blindfaeth.
Turnip Head wrote:blindfaeth wrote:And by the way, the fact they can expire makes me think zomb is bullshitting about her item being worthless. Why bother making a role that can make items expire if they don't do anything.
What do you mean that it expires? Had you mentioned this before?
Bye Mongoose, and welcome Sophie!
Turnip Head wrote:I would still like to know what BF meant about the will "expiring" - that was a new wrinkle he didn't bring up until much much later unless I missed something.
Turnip Head wrote:Also worth noting that BF didn't even vote for Zomberella; he voted for Epi and is now campaigning for others to do so as well.
And finally, we have TH's lynch vote post.
Turnip Head wrote:BF I don't understand why you suddenly just give up because people aren't agreeing with you or playing the way you want them to. I understand that sometimes it's hard to work with people but that's like 83% of mafia, working blindly with your fellow civs to figure things out and catch the bad guys. You are giving up first chance you get instead of pushing through. Makes no sense to me.
I'm going to vote Dom because he's still my top suspicion and I don't think you're bad, but frankly I'm okay with you being lynched because it seems you don't want to play anymore, and people giving up because they're being suspected is frankly getting old.
Turnip Head finally voted for Dom. For some reason, TH decided to include in his post that he is "okay" with blindfaeth being lynched, yet for some reason, TH voted for Dom. There's a couple peculiar events that happened after this that make this vote especially noteworthy. TH later accused LC of throwing away his vote (for want of a better term) when LC voted for me on Day 1. TH's reasoning for that accusation is that we should all be wary of placing odd spread out votes in case we place one on the millionaire. But TH still placed a vote on Dom even though he was okay with LC being lynched.
TH also has not mentioned Dom once since then, aside from acknowledging that he voted Dom on Day 1. Since Dom was TH's "top suspicion" from Day 1, this doesn't make sense.
Night 1 saw a lot of jokey posts from TH, and also some back-up to Epignosis. Even though I pressed TH for his thoughts, he responded with simply "I don't control the nightkill". Well whatever. A baddie could say this as easily as a civvie could think it. This first post stands out to me.
Turnip Head wrote:I like where this is going.
This post is vague and ambiguous. I asked TH to expound on it, and he didn't give a good answer. But the
ensuing few posts show his support of Epignosis. That first post was odd because it came merely a minute after Epignosis began questioning LC, which is one reason why I think that TH has BTSC with Epignosis. I know that idea doesn't make him bad, but the other events are what make me think otherwise.
The final bit I have to mention is the "Jon Anderson" serum I administered to Epignosis last night. Yes I realize that the baddies have a role that might be able to do the same thing, but that is not the case. This oriental drug came from the bottle I obtained on Day 0. Anyway, it forces the victim to answer "Yes" to questions asked of them. That explains Epignosis's strange behavior today (but only today).
At one point, I asked Epignosis what he thought of Turnip Head.
Epignosis wrote:Metalmarsh89 wrote:Epignosis, would you recommend a lynch for Turnip Head today? Do you think Turnip Head is bad?
Absolutely. Fuck that guy. He needs to go.
In fact, I've been watching him carefully. He's been agreeing with me like Basmati rice. He just says whatever he thinks I want to hear. I would love to see him probed on the Montel show. I would like to see his reaction to learning that he is, in fact, not the father, and then we should take him outside and beat hell out of him for being so evil. Yes, I think Turnip Head is bad.
And here was TH's response. Based on the thread, it was not particularly obvious that Epignosis's hand was being forced.
Turnip Head wrote:Epignosis wrote:I would love to see him probed on the Montel show. I would like to see his reaction to learning that he is, in fact, not the father, and then we should take him outside and beat hell out of him for being so evil.
I would agree to all of this, if I knew that it pleased you.
But TH just accepted Epignosis's answer. How can someone accept an accusation so jokingly and on-the-fly without knowing the justification behind it? This is another reason I'm convinced that TH and Epignosis have BTSC, and that TH knew about this before responding. Why else would Epignosis have no real interest in lynching TH, and TH speak in thread knowing as such.

Just the kind of response I would expect from someone who has BTSC with Epignosis, and knows that the answer to the recently asked question is being forced.
TH never did respond to this particular accusation, and considering how uqickly the back-and-forths were happening, it took him a while to say anything in general, as his next post came 25 minutes later with a complete change of subject.
Turnip Head wrote:MovingPictures07 wrote:So I'm trying to be super open-minded about S~V~S, knowing that I consistently read her wrong ALWAYS, but why did she say she wasn't going to vote for BF on Day 1 and then did anyway?
Maybe because that did not happen.
SVS said this on Wed, 6:45 pm:
S~V~S wrote:I am not voting for you now, BF, and am not sure that I even will. It's early, and it's Day One. We are talking about what has caught our eye, and this is what has caught mine.
And then 30+ hours and 8 posts about her suspicions of BF later...
S~V~S wrote:I have a busy day tomorrow, and will be in the middle of D & D when the poll ends. Not 100% sure I will be here tonight, so i am going to vote now, I don't see me changing my mind.
*Votes BF*
I see nothing wrong here.
This is what I've got. You all should really try and lynch TH tomorrow, or Epignosis.
