No, I'm being serious.
Epi and Elo are on a team. And that team is the Guardians, of course - they can't be Troupe because they voted Glorfyo. That's the team with VP Nero, the curser. Elo's curse was a double-whammy self-hit for the team, in that she was cursed or cursed herself to call Epi Sir (a member of the Guardians) in every post. It's kind of triple WIFOM: Elo gets cursed, Epi bears the brunt, and she calls him a role on their team. Maybe his role, I don't know if it's that extra delicious or not. My gut would say 'yes', because why not?
Knowing (and I'm going off meta here which may be eight months or so out of date) that Epi is often asked what his opinion of Elo is, and is supposedly often right, Epi's (I believe) first opinion of Elo is that she is bad. Then he allows himself to talk himself out of it because of logical reasons, and threatens suspicion on those who disagree:
Epignosis wrote:I have some suspicion of Eloh, but she's been cursed (however mildly), and I don't care for the way some here have tried to force me into staying suspicious of her when there is some evidence in her favor.
This is what I believe is going on here. I just think it all fits, it all makes sense to me. This is what happens when Epi and Elo are on a team together. Nothing I have seen since I started thinking about this has made me believe it less. I do think he believes what he says about Dom and Quin, and he may be awesome and be right.
You're buying into WIFOM?
I do have reasons to think Epignosis is civilian though. Epignosis helped us lynch Glorfindel Day 2. Epignosis was the first one to say "Let's look for players on the other team." We've been unsuccessful thus far, but that's mafia I suppose.
I have less reason to believe Elohcin is civilian. She's been cheerfully following along, more than I've seen her do in a while. I don't know what that means wert her alignment, but it's different. Looking at Epignosis's read of her, it's something that developed over the course of a day phase. I doubt that info is involved, so it's a conclusion that he came to on his own, whether maliciously or sincerely.
I am sorry to my scumbuddies and the rest of the players for all of my low access woes; I'm typically not a person to miss the vote that many times but when we were in Florida I didn't have the chance to be around then even when I thought I was and when I got back home I passed out exhausted twice more than I hoped I would >.>
Being Esme, I would have easily survived the first lynch against me based on the number of votes. And also, my secrets said if I was the last remaining member of my team alive, I would switch and join Count Olaf's team. Unfortunately, zebra and I were killed at the same time.
