The Syndicate

Maaaaan I wanted to be two heads

Yay, team!

My brain is fried. This week has been stupid taxing, and it’s only Wednesday. Guess I’ll vote speed, and attempt a pseudo-catch up/skim when I’m less stupid in the head.

also nutella I just noticed your nickname for the first time

Oh, I’m not giving up! I just want cool things.

What happens when you get killed? You survive, with bonuses? What is your role, since you are being so forthcoming?

Hmmm. I want to at least be a little cryptic here because I need to be. I become...more. Certainly more interesting than I am now.

I'd like to formally request a nightkill.

Hooray! It was true!

I look terrible, probably. But I'm not. But enough about me. This needs some reading, of course.

Okay, now I read like seven pages. I've gleaned mostly people moving over to Eloh because of sprit's vouch for Luna, as well as not liking Eloh's vote and agreeing with DH? It was a lot less strong posting than I expected for 7 votes on one person.

However, two things: one, I know sprit's info on me is right (or rather, his vouching), so I'm inclined to believe his vouch for Luna. (Even as I type that, I feel myself forming a hat out of a certain thin metal...Hmmm.) Secondly, looking at Colin's recap of the DH lynch, it stated that Eloh "says Luna is probably civ, voices suspicion of TH and Nijuu." It made me remember I got some weird vibes from her jumping on my then-bandwagon for what was not a good reason (vote record and lack of posts, which I countered), as well as instances of throwing suspicion on people now who are confirmed not-mafia (e.g., TH). It looks like floundering at this point, so I think I'll jump on the Eloh bandwagon.

God knows if any of that makes sense - I keep getting interrupted for one reason or another in my posting and catch-up, and I really just wanna post. I also just want to drink a glass of wine with Eloh, because girl, you need it. Hang in there!!

Gahhhh obviously I need to read more carefully?

Why Eloh in particular? I see that she didn't vote DH in the last lynch, and that she claims she did so because she didn't understand why he was being voted. In my current read, I see people's reasoning as "gonna vote Eloh now" but I've probably missed something since I'm skimming. Halp?

Probably the person I would nab as mafia rn

But I’m more in favor of not losing Luna unless I get a big turn out for voting colin

Really? because Colin has looked nothing but town to me.

Agreed. Still reading, but he doesn't give me the heebie-jeebies.

Elo-chin, huh? I'll check back on that tomorrow - we just got a Switch and that's tonight's activity. And possibly every night's activity, forever.

Yes.

Do you have reasons beyond "I'm woozy"?

Someone either wants LC to have votes, or wants my vote off someone else. I’d gladly vote for Luna, and I voted that way last Day period, so

I sorta feel that everyone looks so scummy.

juliets wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 7:45 pm ok, so the Long Con entry where Sloonei used to be doesn't count for votes - I notice two people have voted there.

Oh shoot, didn't even notice there were two Long Cons on the poll! Oops. Fixed. Still woozy.

And now, alas, I must eat and watch Jeopardy, because it's that time. I'll be back tomorrow, most likely. Or, if I'm feeling frisky, later tonight, but that's super unlikely. Until then, ladies and gents.

niju could you tell us why?

Because I'm feeling woozy.

Lunalee wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 11:25 pm Here's a GTH list since Sloonei asked so nicely. I do not put much stock into making these, and would rather have the next phase to make better decisions on who is bad.

ColinIsCool - town
colonialbob - town
DharmaHelper - scum
Elohcin - scum
Enrique - town
JaggedJimmyJay - scum
juliets - town
Long Con - town
M Plus 7 - scum
MacDougall - town
nijuukyugou - scum
novaselinenever - town
nutella - town
Quin - scum
S~V~S - town
sig - scum
Simon - town
Sloonei - town
speedchuck - town
sprityo - town
Turnip Head - town

I'm skimming now, and perhaps you're not the only one to make this sort of comment, but if you (and others) don't put stock into these sort of GTH reads, why do them? It seems like a way to excuse yourself easily if you're wrong, or if you're lying. It's a red flag for me.

(And my apologies if my posts sound snarky - I'm actually in a fine mood! Just having fun actually having a bit of time to skim and defend as best I can in a short time span, so I'm excitable at the moment.)

Elohcin wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 1:46 pm My instincts about this Luna, SVS, Nutella confrontation are telling me to walk away, let shit fall where it may, and pick up the info from it tomorrow. I kind of think they are all civ.

I'm leaning towards TH or Niju atm for all the reasons mentioned already: lack of posts and vote record.

Ummm I get the lack of posts, but vote record? I've voted very similarly to others around here - one singular vote on a singular person the day that a bunch of people voted on singular people, and a vote on Luna, who is most certainly not off my radar. Invalid reasoning based on "vote record." Too easy.

With that being said, I'm feeling woozy. I think I'll vote Long Con today.

Elohcin wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 7:14 pm We have over 24 hours still. I am waiting to hear from niju and TH before I set my vote in place.

My reading is sporadic - what would you like to hear from me?

I'll say to everyone that I've been monumentally lazy/apathetic this game. Not much in the spirit of GoC, I know, but that's it. Voting for me, however, would be a waste. I'll do my best to catch up and not be useless, but I'm also hyper-focused on work crap right now and not going nuts after work ATM. Excuses, excuses.

To be fair, I haven't caused a civ lynch so far, so keep that in mind. I have no desire to do so in the future, either.

nijuukyugou wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 7:41 pm Things are getting spicy! Hmm.

Yeah I hated this post. It was not followed up with any actual input on the spice.

"Hate" is rather strong here. Perhaps I was planning to follow up and something occurred? Harsh.

Things are getting spicy! Hmm.

Either I'm not braindead from work today, or I'm voting Lunalee.

Either that last lynch was a fluke, or it looked like a crazy save.

Either it was a save, or it was chaos created by mafia.

Either it was chaos created by mafia, or chaos created by civs.

Either that is just as likely as the other, or we're all crazy.

Either I'm going to catch up now with no attention span, or I'm going to catch up some other time with more brainpower.

Either I'm enjoying writing these statements, or I'm enjoying writing these statements.

I'll be out of town tomorrow but sure throw me on as a replacement if you'd like.

I don't care about your personal problems.

colonialbob is replacing Simon the BUM.

Welcome back, cbob!

CFD, anyone? I'm almost sorry I ducked out in the last 30 minutes. But hot cocoa and Drunk History called.

Ooh, let's play the one vote chaos mode game, because other than Luna, I see that.

Number 8.

Nope, that doesn't exist. Gahhh. Halp.

Juliets reaction to all of this is intriguing me more than the original thing I saw with her. There is an undercurrent of "annoyed" in some of her responses. Not sure if that makes her look better to me or not. Her reaction to Ninja, especially.

To me, nijuu had an overreaction to one of my normal posts. I felt like she was looking for reasons to jump on me, especially with her comments about my "meh". If it bothered her so much why didn't she jump on nutella when she said it? I feel like she is just looking for a reason to vote me and though I haven't felt attacked by anyone else who voiced suspicion of me I felt attacked by her - it was all in the tone. So yes, I was annoyed.

I haven't been annoyed at any other time though so if you see something else where I seemed annoyed let me know.

Ahhh I didn't mean to upset you! For real. I came off as snarky, and I apologize for that. Your points in your response are valid. I've also been mostly skimming and reading stuff quickly as I remember I'm playing, so I didn't see nutella's "meh." I think I noticed yours in particular because I was specifically mentioned. We are our own favorite subjects, after all.

Now I'm going to be a hypocrite and say I don't know who I'll vote for. Just got back from seeing The Favourite which was awesome and friggin' disturbing in a good way, if that makes sense and I want to just...sit here and drink cocoa and watch something stupid. I might do as I usually do and vote for an absentee, if there is even one. GoC, after all.

Also school blockers and forced phone posting is the worst.

juliets wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 9:41 am So I looked at c-bobs posts because of Jay's letter and what Jay says is true but there are another 5 or so people who haven't said much either. Jay this may not fit into your letter writing but is there a reason you picked c-bob as opposed to say Turnip Head or blooper or nova or Quin to name a few? They've made comments but not said much.

I'm having a hard time with suspects, there are a couple of people I'm leaning civ on but then I have a whole lot of meh. I hope we have some good participation today.

I’m not a fan of this post - you claim to have a hard time with suspects, yet you throw out three names “to name a few” to JJJ? And the last paragraph is not adding anything. Who are you leaning civ on? What hard time are you having, besides regular Day 1 difficulties, if anything? Who is meh? What does meh mean to you, maaaaaan?

Forced flippancy? Nah. Just regular ol' flippancy.

I'm taking stock of things. Y'know, absorbing things. And no, I have nothing of note yet, but I'll have something. I need to make dinner first.
