I'll have more to say a bit, but for now I just want to apologize to spacedaisy. Sometimes being a bad guy really sucks and it feels slimy to have to lie like a dirtbag so much to try to get a win. I hope this doesn't get you down too much, because you were in an extremely difficult position and I think everyone will recognize that.

I think technically speaking even if we mislynch today we won't lose the game unless there's two remaining baddies.

Which.... if Hotel isn't part of it then it would have to be a Golf+Delta pairing. If we can be sure that the mafia isn't Golf+Delta, then I think Hotel is our best option for today.

Idk, I'm open to input.

Alpha wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2017 1:06 am The reason i don't think Delta is a solo remaining baddie is that the last kill that happened was generally relevant to the game. Charlie was reasonably cleared of suspicion and not likely to be mis-lynched. I still don't understand Foxtrot, but that's a different matter i guess, since at the point of Foxy's death there were (likely?) 2 mafia alive and at least one of them had read the whole thread.

Alpha wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2017 1:01 am If you asked me right now i would probably say that Hotel is our best chance at snagging a baddie, whether or not Juliet was mafia he still looks the least good based on PoE... the other alternative is... Delta and Golf I guess?

We keep spelling out sheep sounds.

Alpha wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2017 12:56 am If there are 2 mafia left and delta is one of them, then there's a pretty good chance that the mafia's kill won't be sent in tonight.

I'd like to propose that we narrow down our lynch options to Hotel and Golf for this day phase.

i wanna point back at some thoughts i had back when we were considering Juliet as a lynch candidate

Delta hasn't expressed any thoughts on Juliet, positive or negative. though to be fair they've only posted 3 times and only talked about echo, india, and foxtrot.

Golf voted for Juliet on day one, I don't see them being teammates. Without flips there's less incentive for distancing, so there'd be no reason to pull such a risky vote with things so close. i think that if Juliet is mafia then Golf probably isn't.

Hotel could be a potential 3rd teammate, assuming Juliets is mafia, early on hotel listed echo as a townread, later voted echo "because why not"

these are the posts where those things happened

Hotel wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 8:51 pm Not sure what to think of J. Would prefer to avoid that but will vote there if necessary. I'll vote C for now.

Hotel wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 8:50 pm Reads after quickly skimming the thread:

Town:
A
G
E

Mafia:
C
F

I'll vote to save G.

Hotel wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2017 5:43 pm Okay, voting Echo because why not. Need to finish catching up and then hopefully can provide some reads. This has been a tough setup to get my mind around.

I think hotel could be a reasonable pick for a mafia team member of Juliet and Echo. I also think that agreeing that 'this lynch seems too easy' and 'there's no opposition to it' is ironically a pretty good way to passively oppose it without being too obvious about it. i'm pretty sure the first 5 posts before and after the night post included the phrase 'we should lynch juliet' in some form. a player other than juliet themself starting a counter wagon would seem obvious and probably result in that players death soon after

i guess what i'm saying is that lack of resistance isn't necessarily a sign that juliet isn't mafia in this circumstance

in that post there^

i still think hotel is the most logical teammate to link to both Juliet and Echo. Golf voted for Juliet on day 1, which doesn't make sense as a teammate thing. I also want to point out that if Juliet and Echo were Mafia #1 & #2 then we probably wouldn't have had a kill last night, since Delta has been MIA. If we assume Juliet was mafia #2 then i think Hotel makes the most sense as mafia #3

I guess the next question is..... would Golf and Hotel make sense as teammates?

Golf wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2017 10:19 pmFrankly Alpha, I am concerned by the fact you are pushing this plan to vote someone other than Delta. I am inclined to think Delta is our last baddie, but if I am wrong I'm looking at you for deep wolf.

For clarification purposes, is this a real accusation or are you just saying this to make your theory seem more credible?
