I already gave my thoughts on LC. spirityo is voting for self preservation, which doesn't indicate much to me.

for a disagreement, there needs to be two people with opposing viewpoints engaging in some form of discourse.

Then I expect you to vote me next after you're done with LC.

Glorfindel wrote:I acknowledge this is a rather extraordinary thing to do but this Star Wars game was my very first game here at The Syndicate and my actions in this game have (by some players) been misinterpreted and manipulated to the detriment of performance in games I've played since. I feel it is important then that I be given the opportunity to address this matter so that players in this game understand my side of this story and can make an informed decision on my historical actions.

It has been alleged that I left this game as a direct consequence of my (Mafia) alignment. I reject this assertion totally. I withdrew from this game at the beginning of Day 6 and other than voting for MacDougall, did not post at all from the beginning of that Day phase. What wasn't apparent to the general player population was that I had received a PM from our game Host at the end of Night 5 to the effect:

Epignosis wrote:You have been spit on and afflicted by madness by crumb. You may not mention the madness and you must vote for Mac for the duration of tomorrow. You may also not mention or quote any player that isn't mac or you will die.

At the time of my departure from this game, I was under heavy suspicion from a number of players and together with the responsibility I felt to my team in that game and other external, non-game related matters, I felt (at the time) that this direction placed me in an intolerable position where I could no longer adequately defend myself and I departed from the game immediately after fulfilling the requirements of that Host direction. I accept that my actions in that regard were wrong, it was immature and that it was not responsible. Under the circumstances that prevailed at that time however, fueled by intense frustration, I felt as though I had little option than to do what I did. The TRUTH of this matter IS that I was motivated by frustration and would (regrettably) very likely have left the game at that point IRRESPECTIVE OF MY ALIGNMENT.

Looking back I do regret my actions on that occasion (as described above) and I trust anyone who reads this will not judge me harshly for them.

At the rate things are going I'd think my fave votes are Epi or LC.

Just kinda trust INH this time (which is abnormal).

I just don't see how anyone can read the quote from Glorf earlier today and go with sig's theory that Glorf replaced out due to him being mafia.

I mean, come on.

In a world where votes were changeable, and everyone was around at EoD, who would you want to be lynched today?

It just sucks that you won't consider the angle where LC is good.

Before you complain, that has nothing to do with me giving you reasons why LC is good. That has to to do with you taking a critical step back.

Wilgy, I have been nothing but sincere. I am not a baddie, and despite INH's interpretation of my play as baddie-indicative, it is not.

I'd appreciate if you didn't vote for me.

At this moment I have no inclination to vote for him and even less to save you.

Then give me a fighting chance at a tie and vote elsewhere.

I'd like to vote Epi anyhow. I'm game for letting a coin decide.

That's very cool of you. So you think Epi is a baddie?

Well, you only disproved it, like, 15 minutes ago (and I haven't read it yet )... and does your "disproval" also contain any reason to think he is town? I imagine it, at best, leaves it at neutral... and a read of Glorf for other reasons.

I'm not asking who's good. Thank you for giving me a decent reason to think you are bad though.

The only reason people thought Glorfindel/sprityo 2.0 were scummy is because of the circumstances where Glorfindel replaced out of another game as a scum member.

The post that you don't want to read is Glorfindel stating that he would never replace out of a game due to his alignment contrary to what others think. He posted this earlier today. It's hard not to see proof there.

Hi Golden. How about DDL? One of my non-DDL's-accusation-of-me-related reasons for suspecting DDL is that he was buddying you. I figure since you are you, it was something relevant to mention.

@ INH: I think your interactions with LC have had the reverse effect on me as they have had on Wilgy. I have found my belief in LC being town grow, slightly. There is still suspicion of him there, but his responses to you seem more in line with the kind of responses I would expect from a civ LC. Previously I did not feel like this was the case. Additionally, your characterization of Epi's position and vote have not been clearly thought through. No one needs to fabricate reads in this game, there are two baddie teams. Both teams will be hunting for the other baddies. I doubt either LC or Epi are being disingenuous, because there is no benefit to the mafia to do that kind of thing in a set up with two opposing baddie teams.

@ LC: Same thing applies to DDL. You make this huge case that he is somehow intentionally trying to lie about you and make you look bad. But the reality is that if he is mafia, it would make a lot more sense to be actively searching for baddies rather than making shit up. Making shit up is way riskier and offers far less benefit to the baddies. It's much more likely that DDL's explanations to you in response to your objections (he wasn't paying close enough attention, or what not) is probably true. I doubt you have found some big baddie tell in his case against you.

@ Epi: You are an ass when you play this game, you know that? Civs need to converse, share thoughts and express their cases so that they can route out the baddies, as a team. And I have zero belief that you have any kind of info role, I think you just like being obtuse. INH is right that you don't get any right to be smug, but you will be anyway. And no one will give a shit because we all know your choice to act the way you have in this situation has not helped the civs at all. So if you are civ, which I would bet you are, you're useless to us when you play this way. But I know that won't stop you, so whatever. I'm done engaging with you just to be treated like a dimwitted child.

GTH reads atm:

Wilgy strong civ
INH strong civ
Epi moderate civ
MM moderate scum
LC slight scum

Sidenote: If two people are baddies in this scenario I find it more likely to be sprityo and LC than LC and Epi. But that is a pretty big if imo.
