The Syndicate

Stuck with jj for the vote. Don't mind if it goes to mongoose either though.

Sorry to replace into a game and be so silent thus far. Posting from a Nook doesn't lend itself to massive case-building.

I'll agree with the 'Goose push. Though J2JJ definitely seems to have uncanny luck with people saving him from majority vote. :/

*Votes Mongoose*

And Epi: Thanks for extending the deadline!

Dear Serial Killer, if you are listening then please prove it by killing SVS at the next available time.

Yeah cause you wouldn't want me lynched and shown as a civil, right?

Civ damn autocorrect

My mother believed in guardian angels. She would tell me about them when I was a boy, that I had one watching over me, protecting me.

I wish I could believe her. I can't say I've been protected as I would be, if indeed there was somebody up there keeping an eye on me. And I can't say other people have been protected either if it were true for them. Or maybe the angels are a lot like us. Unreliable. Spiteful. Maybe even the angels need a smoke break now and again.

Coming to Shawshank, though, did soil my perception of guards a little bit.

Guards are supposed to protect something. Keep it safe. "The guards in prison are supposed to protect the outside world from you cons," I can hear you saying. I suppose that's fair enough.

I didn't see any guardian angels in that riot this morning. Just fed up prisoners with improvised weapons having their way with someone they long believed to be a great threat to them. It was clear they'd had about enough.

Nope- no guardian angels at all.

According to a book I read from the prison library, Maine hasn't had the death penalty since 1887. Twenty-one people were executed in this part of the country, all of them for murder except one, who was convicted of treason. The last person they hanged was Daniel Wilkinson, a fugitive. He died slowly of strangulation because his noose wasn't tied properly. This fueled the ire of the abolitionists who said capital punishment was wrong, and two years later, they got their wish.

Even some of the convicts who are here on lesser chargers are in favor of it. They imagine, I suppose, that they'd have fewer black eyes and fewer sleepless nights.

Well, what do you think? Should Maine bring back the death penalty?

Who will be lynched?

Yay! Good job Llama (props to the dead) and the Mongoose voters

I voted no, killing is killing.

Hey cool

Voting against the death penalty because it's what Batman would do. Mongoose and Boo being teammates is interesting, who do people think might be their third?

I voted for it because if you kill someone I love I'd feel better if you were no longer breathing.

i voted no because vengeance is bad y'all

YES! What a great result! One NK down. Very glad we could organize a successful lynch.

Voted no on the death penalty. It costs the state roughly 3x as much as seeking a life sentence, is enforced arbitrarily and in a racist manner based on the color of the victim, and cannot be reversed if evidence of innocence is found after a conviction.

Mongoose has been lynched. She was Captain Byron Hadley.

Hahaha. A well-deserved party smiley, llama. After the game I'll be very interested to see whether and how you knew.

nice result y'all

no death penalty. l

So Dom, sometimes I find that when i am dead, i suddenly see things more clearly. Did you have any deadie epiphanies?

S~V~S wrote:So Dom, sometimes I find that when i am dead, i suddenly see things more clearly. Did you have any deadie epiphanies?

To be honest, I didn't keep up with the game, post death. :/ I am very busy. My read was quick and sloppy. I hadn't read a thing since I had died. I find BWT and JJ suspicious, but that's about it.

SVS, remind me who you're looking at again. I'm trusting you big time in this game and thought your read on boo was spot on. Perhaps I'll go back and read them, if time permits.

At this point mainly John, After that, we'll see. A few people have been working hard to prevent a john lynch.

S~V~S wrote:At this point mainly John, After that, we'll see. A few people have been working hard to prevent a john lynch.

I agree with you on this front. I do think that Boo genuinely thought JJ was a Sister.

What do you think about BWT, though?

TBH, I am not sure about Teef. He is certainly not trying, that is sure. I have not had BTS with him~ does he tend to flake on his team>? Becasue i would tend to view "disinterested/giving up" to the degree that he is saying is the case with him, as more of a civ phenomena than a bad one where you have people depending on you. But some people do give up even in a team situation, i just don't know of he is one of them.

I had BTSC with him once in Avant Garde Mafia 2. It was like a year ago, so asking me to remember what he was like is stretching me thin :P I remember thoroughly enjoying my btsc in that game, though. We won. That's all I have.

I think you have a valid point, but I see him not so much "giving up" as trying to stay aloof. I dunno. :/

SVS, I just went to check out the game, he posted about 15-20 less than me, and I was fleety because of my work schedule.

Well, I would like to lynch John. I tend to be a pretty good BWT reader, and I did not see any overt opportunism, BUT he may have switched up his game.

Do you think he is more suspicious than anyone else, or then John?

OMG, thAn John, NOT thEn John

I voted JJ, so I think JJ is more suspicious than BWT.

I just don't want us to be lost after we lynch him. Especially since I think he will turn up baddie.

do you care if you're lynched?

Honestly at this point, not really. My head's been up my ass this entire game, and I don't feel like I'll get anywhere. So I would be perfectly okay with getting lynched if you all so desire it.

As for me being bad, yes, I've been an awful participant.

What's so interesting?

Mister Robignosis Host Sir, if Hadley is dead, what happens to the odd NK's? Does HB Haig get them if still alive, or does Bogs get monopoly over the baddie NK's?

"As for me being bad, yes, I've been an awful participant."
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but his syntax seems to tell me that he's bad.

I believe his syntax tells us exactly what he is: neither and/or both. That being said, he should not be a priority.

A: Excellent result!

B: Dom, other points against BwIT seem valid, but picking apart that statement seems like a bit of straw-grasping. I've been getting mislynched for saying crap like that since Dexter, surely you recall.

That being said, Lizzy, I have said several times, my priority is JJ.

MR, alone, I probably wouldn't care. With other things it makes me wonder.

Oh, and I voted no, but I do think serious convicted offenders should have to fight each other to the death a la The Running Man/Battle Royale/The Hunger Games.

Linki: Well I'm glad you're at least not being as trigger happy with him as you were with me in Liar's Club.

:blushing:

Sorsha was alone, sobbing quietly. I don't know why.

A voice came up from behind her, "Did you ever have a friend you could talk to?"

Sorsha nodded.

"Everybody needs friends. I could be a friend to you."

When Sorsha realized the danger, seeing others approach on one side or the other, a scream shot up through the corridors. I heard it.

Should Maine bring back capital punishment?
