The Syndicate

My secret power was SO AWESOME~ but I had to be lynched to trigger it. I tried so hard to be blendy so Llama would try to lynch me, lol, but it was not to be. Good game baddies

That looks hard. Sorry I have been afk, it's week a weird week.

Careful, Made. I said Bass pinged me once and he NO U'd me faster than a cheetah on the way to a really short-term sale of stuff that Cheetahs really love.

Oh, OK, Llama. This ^^ sounds like you are implying that Bass is a No-Uing no Goodnik. My bad

I haven't done a detailed read of him, but my impression of him is that he has had some thoughtful posts and well constructed posts. I agree his voting doesn't make sense though.

Pulling teeth here, my beloved ungulate. WHAT is weird about it? His last vote was based on a misunderstanding.

llama, let's combine our votes somewhere against all these hooligans voting willy-nilly...

I'm willing to hop on this train assuming we don't lynch Boogs and Llama is on board. Drive by votes is not sitting right with me, and A piece of power is at risk.

Llama is one of the people who voted for Boogs; are you asking him to change his vote?

Llama are you going to change your vote?

Linki~ so you suspect Bass then? If not, why say that?

I unvoted Russ and switched it to Made. Not liking this turn of events at all.

So are you on board too, so long as Boogs isn't the one lynched, as Made said?

And one vote, when two others have 3-4? I don't see the issue here.

Made you are saying you want to pile votes on someone to save Boogs? Am I reading this right?

Why these specific people?

This WHOOOLE thing is setting off all of my alarms in the most alarming way (heh) possible.

So you thought his suspicion of Splints was cool & collected? He said otherwise himself. What was weird about it?

I do think the votes for you are really weird. Dom keeps saying you need to be stopped without explanation.

Do you think Russ' vote is really weird as well? Do you think he is a Hooligan?

He actually DID answer it, he just posted in line within my post, I put it in highlighted and bold, in pretty color, the part I did not write:

I agree with giving more of a look at Hedge voters. It just seemed so drummed-up to me at the time, even before Hedge flipped civ.

Nice job, those who worked on the riddle.

Made wrote:Yo MP,
If you feel that d2 shouldn't begin with you, where do you feel it should begin?

Very good question, sir! I'm not honestly quite sure yet, I'll have to think about it myself. However, I did wonder if there was a push to lynch you over Sabie due to saving a teammate OR whether a push to lynch both of you could have been bandwagoned by some baddies.

I also wonder if splints is onto something with Hedge's posts being all jokey too, that was a good point.

So this is saying MP jumped on splints' suspicion and not the other way around, right?

If so I think a harder look needs to be taken at MP. However, I still think the suspicion itself was a little out there, and I have been getting bad vibes from fingers, so I stand by that suspicion too.

This is Splints, 1:15 Tuesday

hedgeowl' bothered me more then sabie's. Sabie has otherwise contributed. Hedgie has not.

Linki, MP is Alex

Lini, a good point, and well taken. It feels lazy, and we all know Hyrulians are not lazy.

I am voting for Russ. When he said Splits was piggybacking MP, and it was pointed out to him that that was not the case, he was like, well, um, ok, but I suspect her anyhow.

Thats just weird, and not the kind of thing I expect to see from Russ.

i will be in and out of here the rest of the PM, so if anything better comes up, I might move it, but as of now, this is what most gets my eye.

Linki:

Seriously, did I say something funny? Why the

?

Why exactly do you suspect Sabie again?

I am not so sure I am seeing bad Splints. She may have had bad instincts about Hedge, but not sure why that makes her bad, Russ.

Sorry so quiet, weekend, Rl yada yada yada. I have D & D today, but since the other thread is dead (or maybe killed is a better way to put it, lol) I should have more than enough time to get caught up.

I am not 1,000% sure I understand the game, but wtf

Third

Which makes it:

First - 2
Second - 2
Third - 3

And I obviously have to revise my interpretation of Hedgeowl going forward, I was pretty sure she would flip baddie. Not the first time I have misinterpreted Hedgie (and have seen her misinterpreted). She may have to go into my "I Always Think Is Bad" category, which would involve "so my opinion is worthless" disclaimers.

Your reaction to this has been rather reassuring, actually, Llama. I can't say i trust you, but I am less directly suspish of you.

This is the thing I like about changeable votes~ it is lots easier to force a reaction.

OK, so far no one is coming to Llamas rescue, so I am going to move to Hedge. I also suspect her, and the case on her is more than just my feels.

thellama73 wrote:lso: you said only baddies set traps, so are you admitting to being a baddie? :P

No I was messing with you~ it was my first trap ever

Russ, this was MPs first post about Hedge; he referenced Splints suspicions.

Actually, i was poking you a bit for your suspicion of Juliets in the lightning game, with the "trap", lol. So I set my own trap

You just seem wishy washy in general to me. You have been posting a lot, but not really saying much, if you go back and read what you have actually said.

Other than Sabie, what are your suspicions?

EBWOP, Splits was the first person to suspect Hedge, iirc. It's one of the reasons I think she likely is Team Ganon. And I don't have an opinion on Sabie, she just seemed like an easy target, and I did not think the votes on her felt very sincere to me.

Yikes, Sabie jumped in there too. So Llama has pulled ahead of Hedge.

Depending on how this goes, I may still move it to Hedge.

Linki~ Actually, Splints was suspicious of hedge first, Russ.

My other option was Hedge; would you consider a vote for Hedge, or are you so sure Sabie is a baddie?

S~V~S wrote:I am wondering if the Sabie wagon is going to re-form tonight?

I'll probably vote for her again. I have no better pings at the moment. Who are you thinking of voting for? What do you think of the Hedgeowl suspicion?

Actually, I am going to vote for you for now. First, you totally ignored my intentional overreaction to you making fun of me for the technically correct thing. If you were a civ, I don't think you would have cared. You are backing off people WAAAAAAYYY too easily and quickly. In the few posts I made today, I poked you a bit, and you totally ignored it.

In a game with only one set of baddies, it is hard to go hard for someone. It is diffu=icult to avoid being wishy washy. You are not playing your civvie game, IMO.

I could totally be wrong, but this is what has most caught my eye.

I am wondering if the Sabie wagon is going to re-form tonight?

I am going to read back a bit. At this stage, a couple of things have caught my eye. I can't believe so many are left to vote with only a bit over an hour to go.

Team Ganon, don't leave those rupees on the table~ you can be sure Hyrule won't :nod:

Hey Snowy, Llama has obviously seen our replies to him since he has been in here to complain about the contest.

Not sure what I think about that...

thellama73 wrote:I don't know. I'm starting to feel bad about the approaching Hedgeowl lynch. Fingersplints mentioned her a couple of times earlier, and now all of a sudden SNow Dog, SVS and MP are all on board in three consecutive posts? I'm going to reread her right now, but I have an uneasy feeling (in my belly!) about this.

Um jump to conclusions much? I said it was a good point, and it was. Never said I was on board.

When people say this about baddie hunting I always view it as bit iffy. Like saying it replaces doing it.

How should I have contributed at this point in the game when you posted this? I am currently still playing another game, so not as present as I could be. (Example A missing the Day 1 lynch).

Plays the "playing another game" defense, where, in that other game she isn't exactly posting much either.

This is a very good point.

Sorry

Either that, or they have secrets, too. Could be a kill in the secrets, but that isn't usually secret, so you prolly are correct.

Don't if you prefer, but this question:

The seventh, those on which Jaguars rest

would not be wheels unless there was something wrong with the car. The wheels are attached to the axle, the tires make contact with the road. If your Jaguar is resting on it's wheels, you have seriously neglected your maintenance :P

Although I agree that "wheels" are more poetic. Could be I am quibbling over minutiae

I disagree. The tyre and the inside make up the wheel together.

I am a Jaguar/Land Rover Service Advisor. The "inside" is the wheel, the tyre is mounted on the wheel. No biggie, but if you don't believe me, ask your mechanic.

And yay Epi Thanks~!

I know, but it IS more accurate, lol. Wheels sounds better, though.

I work for a Jaguar dealer. Wheels =/= tires.

I agree, all we have is the thread. And the Jaguar one should be tires. A car doesn't rest on it's wheels, at least not if you want to drive it.

I suck at puzzles, but will try after I eat something.

Linki: Yea, pretty much that. I wonder who he trusts this time.

I'm gonna guess "no one"

Bye Made, Hi Made

sabie seems very composted.

Poor Sabie sleeps with the Humus.

I have been expecting Splints to come back in & change her vote off of AP.

I was saying that MR was probalby a civ for self voting. That is exactly what i was saying; and MP putting a purely punitive second vote on him in what was already a very spread out lynch does not seem like a really civvie thing to do.

So perhaps you misunderstood my point there.

And "astound" is a very strong word. Do you really find taking votes on day one to be "astounding"? I am fairly astounded that I have not taken one, lol.

Day One is a bitch.

The thing about made that got me was his vote for Sabie. Had he said, "Voting Sabie to save myself" that would have seemed a lot more genuine than trying to make up a reason. Becasue that was what it felt like to me.

When I was reading back, it kind of felt to me like people were hounding Sabie a bit~ she seemed more flustered than confused to me, really. And I have been part of too many lynch wagons on Made to want to join this one. He seems awful flustered himself. And I have seen this before.

So I am gonna drop a vote on MM. He thought enough to comment on my post re MP voting for MR, but not strongly enough to vote for MR himself. If you think he could be a baddie, why not vote for him?
