Biblical Mafia [ENDGAME]

[Echo]

If Job is not the devil himself, why is he not on the poll?

[Lunatella]

I just noticed something really interesting and I'm surprised no one's mentioned it.

Linki, finally lol.

[Larry David]

Wow Job actually isn't on the poll. I didn't even notice that.

Placed my vote on Samson.

[Young Lady]

Oh lol. Nice ...job, Host.

[Lunatella]

Then you'll be surprised to discover there are actually several people removed from the poll. Can you figure it out?

[Prisoner 509378]

Damn. Guess I should have voted for the Gospels. How did nobody notice this before now? (myself included)

[Young Lady]

OMG, everyone who voted the Gospels is.

linki: ninja'd

[NurseWilgy]

Absalom how am I backing down from it? I was clarifying a post. I'm still me darling whether is makes people annoyed or not hunny.

You totally broke character, which is not something I would have expected from someone who seemed to be committed to playing a sock role.

You, amongst other people, were kind of mean to her about being in character, so what did you expect her to do?

I expected her to shrug it off or ignore it. Instead she got defensive, which to me is an indicator of guilt.

I am wary of Cain so far. Day 0, vote threat against meta hunters. Day 1, "what's everyone getting worked up about" skim of the game. I anticipate him to be a low poster type of player, but also the kind that, recalling from a few recent games, has proven to be bad and lasted long enough in the game, whilst the others ignored him or bickered over dealing with him or not. Really don't like his Day 1 comment.

Cain continues to get my hackles up too. I am leaning towards a Cain vote unless something changes my mind in the next couple of hours.

[Lunatella]

I think if Rachel had actually considered a vote for me she would have noticed and mentioned it.

Aww bam you got me!

[Julinook]

OMG, I'm such an idiot. I voted in a rush because the poll was minute until it ended. Turns out I did not have my time settings in place properly. I voted without catching up because I didn't think I had time. I voted for Samson because I didn't like his vote yesterday.

How can I continue to get your hackles up with one post?

You have had more than one post, and sometimes silence speaks volumes.

[The Dry Flood]

Well then vote me genius

[The Dry Flood]

I really have not gotten into this game, its a shame really as I know Epi games are known for funness.

I had intended tocatch up but there are always some fool going to vote for a low poster instead of actually looking for baddies. I am glad it happened bc it showed Absalom's true colors which are. quite ugly

How quick of a reaction, after four days of lazing around.

Have you found anything noteworthy in your "looking back" through the game?

Linki: same question nevertheless

[The Dry Flood]

Nope. have not read a thing since I was here last.

[Saito]

I am not going to have the time to properly catch up. I decided to look at the players who have gotten votes so far, and those who have voted already.

I get a fairly solid read from Absalom, but I do not like Cain. I get no sense of civvieness in his few posts, and I think he misconstrued Absalom's position.

It is all I have the time for, so voting Cain. I promise to be more active soon.

[The Dry Flood]

I have not been lazing around I am in 4 other games currently.

But I did NOT have ANY votes until yours.

This kind of play loses the game for civvies.

[Young Lady]

That information is of no use for me.

[The Dry Flood]

[NurseWilgy]

Well then vote me genius

Okay, I will.

*Votes Cain*

[PonySparkPrime]

I take it the votes aren't changeable then?

We're all way too divided, I'm not sure how I feel about that... :/

[Operator]

This weekend has been extremely busy for me and horrible. I'm sorry that I've not kept up with the game at and and trying to read over this stuff now is giving me a headache. I always hate the Day 1 stuff cause it's a lot of guessing and what if-ing . So for today I'm just going to randomize my vote. I will keep reading and then make a decision soon after I have eaten.

[NurseWilgy]

They are not changeable. It's interesting to see how no bandwagons have formed yet. It's going to be a very revealing couple of hours, I think.

[Paul Stevens]

Not got a huge amount of time to post today, but I've voted Samson for the way he latched onto Paul's vote without any explanation.

[Jack Shephard]

Voting for Samson because he hasn't explained his vote.

[PonySparkPrime]

Still in the middle of the catch up. Two things that I noticed are a lot of people are seeing my flippiant behaviour as suspicious, and Paul vs. Lot back and forth.
Well, I admit it, I'm enjoying the sock identity. It's freeing, and I for one intend to enjoy it. I used Paul's terms because it was fun trying to get you to guess whether I was new or not. Busted.

Yeah I'm voting Jeph

"A lot of people" paints the picture of an imaginary bandwagon where there was none (I believe only one other person quoted my post and acknowledged it positively. There was just as much backlash about it from Rachel, and that actually resulted in a vote for me) and also attempts to diminish the seriousness of the OP when he does not directly address it

His reaction is somewhere between outright dismissive and the over the top one that I saw Cain have a few posts ago

[Larry David]

I have not been lazing around I am in 4 other games currently.

Then that's your fault for spreading yourself thin.

[Ben Linus]

Paul, your list is people you say are not scum hunting. What do you think of the very low posters, like Pilate or Mary Magdelene? They are not scum hunting either.

I'm going to vote for you.

[2 Stupid Dogs]

Samson had had the opportunity to explain his vote and he has not. I have things to do in the next few hours so I am going to go ahead and vote Samson now so i don't miss the vote.

Vote Samson

[Sockys2023]

As usual, the Syndicate votes for oddities instead of baddies.

Carry on.

[NurseWilgy]

I'm going to vote for you.

Any particular reason?

[Sockys2023]

I don't think that that Samuel is bad, I just wanted to vote for him.

[Operator]

Not sure I will have time to vote later on so I am going to vote now. It's gonna be a total random vote today.
*Votes Gideon*

( Gideon was my fave character in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.)

[Celeste]

I mean I guess Samson could be bad for not explaining his vote but like that's a horrible move for a heathen as they would want to explain their votes and blend in. Rookie move and his fellow Pharisees should have told him to post because people were asking about him. Not hard to make up a reason but he didn't even try. Think ye sinners have the wrong impression of him.

I will be voting Mary Magdalene as she seemed most opportunistic for jumping onto Samson's case. She read the whole thread supposedly and that's the only thing she felt was worth talking about. She didn't make a gut read on Samson or deduce anything, it's such an easy suspicion to fake and if she's wrong there's no fallout because obviously not explaining your vote can be construed as bad. Her vote is the mark of an unrepentant heathen.

[Paul Stevens]

How do you expect these two posts to add up to any kind of defense? Latching on to someone else's vote with no explanation isn't an 'oddity', it's something that makes you look like a baddie. Then you say you don't even think the guy is bad?

[Celeste]

Exactly my brother this is so typical. People vote for what they do not understand. That is not the ways of our Lord

I like Paul and his tactics. Every man has his vice.

[Young Lady]

Voting Samson.

[PonySparkPrime]

I keep confusing Samson and Samuel.

[Quokka]

Carry on.

Maybe if you didn't vote in a questionable manner with no good reason you wouldn't be receiving votes. Don't blame us because we voted for someone whose actions look bad.

Samson

[PonySparkPrime]

Also, I wish my user pic was a little more dignified. Just flopping out all over the place there, aren't I?

[Echo]

Nice bandwagon guys!

Voted for Cain because he might actually be bad. Will vote Job when I get the chance.

[Phoebe Buffay]

I think the votes for Samson are lame. I agree that it's the easiest scapegoat. A baddie would have to be a complete idiot to just vote like that and not explain it, and then go and say he doesn't think the one he voted for is bad. And no, this is not WIFOM because it's a stupid WIFOM, just look at the votes he's getting.

I'm probably going to pick one of Samsons' voters. I still need to read back a little

[Young Lady]

Jonathan's avatar makes me think more of a Greek deity or such.

Ah, the Greeks. We fought with them well.

Or you could vote the clear baddie uzziah

I'm still thinking about it, but even though I don't like the way he's playing, I'm not sure I want to vote for him at this stage. There's also Lot, who didn't get any votes, so I'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt this day because it will be a wasted vote.
I don't think Cain is bad either, and thinking one of his voters could be.

[Grand Scheme]

I don't have a great deal of time, and it looks like I missed a lot while I was away. I will vote after I do a quick re-read
