If Epi and I both change our votes, you would still need at least one more.
I'm inferring from this post that llama's considering changing his vote in an attempt to save notsawyer.

That could only mean that thellama73's plan was to throw notsawyer under the bus until it became possible to save him.

I don't suspect notsawyer though, so I don't believe that's what is transpiring.

That's what I inferred from it too. However, even if you, llama, and Epi were to vote for Quin, I would still get lynched. Unless I punched things in wrong on the calculator, there are only a few ways I live at this point:

1. Mac changes his vote to Quin.
2. Either Dfaraday or Floyd change their vote to Quin.
3. Everyone voting for Quin (as well as you, llama, and Epi) piles on Floyd instead

I would rather lynch llama than quin, but like Epi said, there's just not enough time.

I'm cool with Llama now for reasons I won't really get into.

I didn't see that. What I gather is either LC and llama are both civ and LC found out about llama's alignment because of some game mechanic we're not aware of, or they both have btsc and LC was trying to take some of the heat off llama. Do you see any other explanations?

Having found that, I take from it this:

thellama73 and Long Con are both civilians. There is one power role left, and nobody went HAM against LC or thellama73 after he made this declaration. To me, that is evidence in their favor.

If Long Con is bad, then someone is asleep at the wheel.

Posted: **Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:06 pm**

And MM evidently suspects both LC and thellama73.

Posted: **Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:09 pm**

I'm just glad Long Con came to his senses.

And Metalmars89, I commented earlier thta I am willing to lynch Quin, Wilgy, and Sawyer. Epi seems very unhappy with the Sawyer lynch, and I am willing to take thta into consideration because I trust him this game, but I distrust sawyer and am happy to see him lynched as well.

If you remove notsawyer, LC, llama, and me from consideration, you've removed 40% of the suspect pool and can proceed accordingly.

Less than an hour to go. I am disappointed that people chose to drop weighty votes on someone without coming back and discussing / reconsidering those votes.

Same here.

Maybe I have enough Hillary points to buy my way out. They have to be good for something! Hillary points should count as free speech, and I'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to!

Linki: That's what I was saying when I said Mac, DF, or Floyd would have to change votes.

Hillary Points have a very specific purpose but they do not count as free speech, nor do they buy your way out of a lynch.

Holding out hope for Faraday, Floyd, or Mac. Whichever one saves me will gain major civ points in my book.

You get the idea. If I left you out, it wasn't personal.

Start talking. Tell me why you're good. Tell me why others are bad. Go.
1. notsawyer - Vanilla town read to me. The back and forth stuff with Epi didn't gain him any favor. He has a bad habit of sinking his teeth in like a pitbull and not letting go, but he's been advocating lynching baddies and showing good initiative.

2. Marmot - Despite the fact that he has way more posts than me, I never really seem to notice them. That could something about the content of his posts, but it could also say something about my attention span. i'll have to search his posts in topic and give them a quick read.

3. Floyd - 7 posts by day 4 and he controls the vote. He's going to kill me today, and when I flip civ he's going to have to face some questions he won't be around to answer. Seems a bit shifty to me, but not enough to where I would vote for him.

4. Dfaraday - He tried to talk some sense into me vis a vis Epi:

Dfaraday wrote: Clearly enough people agreed with him to not lynch Jack right away, so this feels like you're trying to shift the blame onto Epi.
It just took me a long drive to start thinking about it. The only other things I know about him are that he randomized a vote for me on day 1 and he almost got lynched on day 1 or 2.

5. Quin - Called me out from the get-go for being myself and then sunk into the shadows for a while after he lost that argument, only to reemerge when it was clear I would be up for lynch. Definitely sets off alarm bells. If you go back to Parks and Rec mafia and look at Leslie Knope's posts, I made a lot of posts like the one Quin went after in this game. I also got lynched on day 4 and flipped civ. Quin is definitely on my list.

6. llama - Not feeling too great about this one either. In my limited experience, I've found that the second person to jump on something is usually more likely to be the bad one, and llama did that when Quin called me out. Llama has also not been contributing very much and hasn't provided anything new to the hunt. Slightly worse than Quin imo.

7. LC - I called him out before and he ignored it, which is never a good sign, but he seems to be patient and non-opportunistic. I think he knows more than he lets on, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Leaning civ on him.

8. Epi - I've warmed a bit to Epi, but not enough to say civ read. I went on the attack recently because I was convinced I was right about Epi, but looking back I just got tunnel vision. Some of my points still stand and I don't believe the Eloh argument. Just because you haven't done something before doesn't mean you won't do it now.

9. Wilgy - Was my primary suspect before the whole thing with Epi. Still not sure on him. He wasn't hesitant to correct me on his involvement with the lynching of SVS, but he also tried to correct me on the argument about whether or not to lynch Jack and when I went back to look at the posts, he was wrong--but it was really just splitting hairs. Mostly neutral on him with a slight baddie lean.

10. Mac - My top suspect. Day 1 he voted for me without explanation right when the vote was going to end, despite having voiced suspicion for Jack. Then when Jack was revealed, Mac tried to get himself a known-civ status until people shut that down. If he was so good that he tone-read Jack on day 1, why didn't he vote that way? I think he was mafia throwing out an accusation against another person so that when that person flipped bad he could go back and say he called it on day 1. Mac will be getting my vote today.

If I missed anyone, please let me know. And if there's anything I haven't addressed, let me know that too. I was hoping to do more here, but I have a paper and a bunch of reading that need done and I really don't have time to do digging.

My rainbow list:

Mac
Llama
Quin
Floyd
Epi
Wilgy
Dfaraday
Marmot
LC
notsawyer

Your top!?

Your suspicion of me is absurd btw. I voted for Jack and only changed to you well after his lynch was off the table. If I was just distancing for credit I wouldn't have changed my vote.

EVERY DECISION THAT THEY TAKE HAS ENORMOUS CONSEQUENCES

(TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2017)

This is a Fox News alert. I'm Shepard Smith.

In a shocking turn of events, longtime Clinton ally and strategist Sidney Blumenthal was hospitalized today in an apparent suicide attempt when FBI agents entered the White House. Details are still coming in but Fox News sources indicate that the FBI came to the White House specifically to take Mr. Blumenthal into custody.

Blumenthal, a was a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton and served in an unofficial advisory capacity to President Hillary Clinton's campaign last Fall. After President Clinton's victory over Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Blumenthal was named as a Counselor to the President.

According to sources inside the White House, Mr. Blumenthal allegedly tried to slash his own throat in a second-floor bathroom as FBI agents closed in. He was taken away by ambulance but his present location is being kept secret. Stay tuned for more Fox News alerts as we learn more about Mr. Blumenthal's condition and why the FBI sought him out.

If I am a Mafia player, the only possible justification for what I did was to save Notsawyer. Otherwise I as a Mafia player just stay away from the thread for the last 20 minutes.
