That ain't how I do.DrumBeats wrote:@ linki Epi, if you've got something to say on the topic, just please say it instead of talking around it vaguely.
I don't know. From my experience hosting him, he had no problem asking those sorts of questions in PM's. Not sure why he asked the thread.DrumBeats wrote:@ linki TH - What do you think of Matt's question about whether it would be night 3.2 or 4 on the second night? If he's mafia I would guess he's Jo personally.
I don't think SVS *has* a motive here. If that was unclear. I think the simplest solution is she didn't get caught in a failed baddie plan, she got caught in a good baddie plan that's attempting to take a civ SVS down.Turnip Head wrote:So you think that she was forced by a civilian to vote a certain way, and instead of just doing that and not arousing suspicion, she also forced the lynch to end early, shining the spotlight solely in her direction... while simultaneously hoping that the baddie vote forcer she knows exists will be revealed after the civvie vote forcer she also knows exists, her very life depending on this gamble.

I think it's a hard road right now to come back from without complete WIFOM.
I'm so lost as to what people think SVS's motive is here. I guess we think she wants to be lynched.
Someone please walk me through this from point A to point B.

I forgot to respond to this. I don't really understand the connection you're drawing. I'm sure I've defended SVS just as often as I've accused her, I'm probably batting .500. I feel okay about your motives though so feel free to keep an eye on meSorsha wrote:Also TurnipHead. His constant defense of SVS reminds me of AWR when we had quite a few circumstantial pieces of evidence that SVS was bad and he still refused to believe it. (She was bad, so were TH and I, on the opposite team, ftr). I'll be keeping an eye on him for now, if SVS were lynched and came back civ he would jump up to #1 for me.
I'm reading both of these roles as civ unless we learn of a recruiting element.

I was too, but Dom's old and outdated character list had Gabe listed under corporate, so I think that is very likely to be true in the revised setup.bea wrote:I'm reading both of these roles as civ unless we learn of a recruiting element.

I get why you are saying that, but it wasn't the case. Simply put - I posted while I was catching up yes. I never went back and addendumed it because I was tired and went to bed and said eff it.LoRab wrote:Other than the fact that "students of LoRab" made me guffaw, I'm confused by this post. You speak as if JJJ is still alive, even though this came after the night post (and I know you post as you catch up, so that's fine), but then you talk about the fact that he might not make. And i don't think you ever went back to correct yourself on him not surviving the night. This almost reads as if you knew he was going to die.bea wrote:I don't work that way DB. I work backwards.
tbh, I usually need a few days on SVS and you see I keep finding scenarios where she could still be bad, but honestly, if I use Occum, she reads and feels more civ to me than most.
I'm sad Wilgy died now that I know he was the tracker. Go back and look at my answer and ask yourself, would I have been talking about anyone but SVS? Or maybe Wabbit and Epi?
I felt good about JJ before he claimed/notclaimed indi. JJ - the students of Lorab are watching you. I currently see no reason to not keep him around. But I will flip a bitch as fast as you if make me think you are not working with the civs. As long as he's helpful he's ok. There will - if he lives - a long enough time where his survivial won't be ok. I reserve the right to lynch him when it's time for the potential indy to go. I think deep in his heart he is a civ leaning indy. I'm ok with letting him prove me right or wrong.
I trust a few others. Reading my posts will help you figure out who.
I'd like to hear more from indi and lorab and splintsy just cuz it's all us!! And come on -this is a fun time!!!
sig's still playing right? And he's the low poster I *remember* is playing. I"d like to hear from anyone who has less posts than sig.
linki - what the fucking fuck. Ok - more backtracking.

Like I said, the *only* way I could see SVS as bad is if she was outvoted bts and she's teaching her puppies a lesson. I really don't think that's what's happening here though.
I know you weren't talking to me, but I wanted to make sure it was known where I stand in case there was any question.
Also - I just got home and here's the start of me catching up.
RL is cray-cray like normal. As soon as this game starts, one of the GM's in our area got himself fired. My old GM and I split temp running that store as well as our own stores. I spent 3 hours today running from store to store putting out fires and fixing things. I ran into my boss during one of them and was all like "Dude! It's hard to be you!" As such, I'm trying very hard to make sure my fewer posts have meat to them. I hope I'm doing ok.

RIP Quin
This lynch actually makes LC look better to me, and Faraday and Soneji worse. But I need to read again, you don't read as well when you are a bear. Big claws, small brain.
The highlighted section is referring to voting last minute.
Who else do you suspect right now?
What are you opinions since Jo was revealed, and SVS has responded to a myriad of concerns?indiglo wrote:Reading that post in context, I'm gathering that G-Man waited until the last possible minute to change his vote to where it was allegedly forced, and SVS saying that is how she would vote too if she were forced. Ie, wait until the last possible minute, so as not to begin a band wagon on someone who you don't know or don't think is bad.
Again, this jibes with what I know of SVS. We came up in a culture of non-changeable votes. Therefore we have ALWAYS been the type who hold our votes to as close to the end as we can. That early vote from her pings me the most. That's what makes me think she's quite possibly bad. It is just so opposite of her normal voting behavior. Whether she's forced to vote a certain way, or not, she's not an early voter unless she absolutely has to be (like, won't be here at EoD, etc).
Who are your top baddie reads right now?

Interesting....Gabe – Gabe is infinitely awkward. He blocks one person each even night.
NEUTRAL – Can win with anyone
Bandit – Bandit is Angela’s cat. He is adept at falling out of ceilings. Bandit is a sly cat and can spy on people. Bandit selects one player each night. Bandit can do one of the following:
1. Role Check
2. Target Check
3. See if They Were Targeted
But Bandit must use all other powers before repeating one.
Moze – Moze is Dwight’s cousin. He has lots of beets. A beet gives you an extra vote. Moze can give someone a beet each night. He cannot give beets to himself. Beets must be used the day period they are sent otherwise, they go bad.

Gabe's role makes me question Matt's concern over the night number even more. We're currently at a 2 mafia roles involving Day #s to one civ role involving day #s ratio. There's still a shot he could be Stanley or an unknown civ role instead, but judging by his behavior I'm leaning mafia.Scotty wrote:Just added to the front page:Interesting....Gabe – Gabe is infinitely awkward.

ripiywg SVS... it's not unheard of for the mafia to kill one of their own. Especially if they thought she would be getting lynched today, plus it saves her team from having to defend her. And it makes everyone go WTF.

The mafia team did it in Downton Abbey. It really threw us for a loop when they did it and we lost probably 2 day cycles because of that confusion. But in that situation, the following day lynch was obvious: LC was definitely bad. So to make it weird, they killed him that night.DrumBeats wrote:Is mafia killing their own common here?

I'd add splintsy to the list of "barely there" as well. I mean, if I'm on it, she should be as well I'd think. Were you avoiding mentioning her or did you forget she was playing? Pick one answer to that question please.![]()
as long as we are talking about it - what is "barely there?" What have I not given you that you think you need to get a read on me?
