The Syndicate

I don't trust Epignosis.



It is known.

I'm not dead (I think), just smell funny... and am exhausted. And speaking of odours, the Goosey wagon smells fishy and I'm still not convinced she's bad. It's still between Boogie and K4J for me.

Wait, Vompatti doesn't always talk like that?

A generally wise stance to take.

So now we know that one of these people is dead:

Captain Bunny Killer
juliets
Leamiteo

Interesting. Lizzy and Hedgeowl come in with relatively late votes for Boogs, and Mongoose claims to vote for Boogs but doesn't actually.

Also, Juliets recently posted in the Speakeasy, in keeping with my earlier suspicion that she is the dead one.

I don't know lemiteo or CBK, but it's definitely odd that juliets hasn't posted yet, so
combined with what you said I definitely think you could be right llama

In agree....I already agreed (in my head) when you first mentioned it.

I just noticed that myself and rectified the situation.

Ahhhh the voice of reason appears!

To possibly gain civvie cred you decided to pretend not to be able to speak or vote.

Who does this? Like, ever? It would be a terrible idea especially in a game with multiple baddie teams and in which participation is actively rewarded. There's no civ cred at all to be gained by pretending to be silenced and I don't get why someone would even think a player might try it.

People do it. You must know they do. However I went onto say something like "for whatever reason..." so I was obviously not convinced myself. Just putting it out there , you shot it down which is fair enough.

I wasn't shooting you down, I just don't think it's something that would be done. You can't really claim civ cred by being silenced.

I need to vote but I'm not sure who for. There doesn't seem to be much point voting anyone other than Mongoose now, and a lot of people seem convinced she's bad, so I guess I'll throw my vote there in absence of anything better to go on.

I've seen baddies fake silencings but not civvies.
Voting Mongoose. She is already lynched at this point. Boogs has only 4 and I am not sure how I feel about him yet.

Julierts is dead think. For consistency sake I should vote Boogs but Llama and now others seem utterly convinced on Mongoose. I dunno.

Exactly my point.

Votes The Goose, mon!

I am not yet dead. No need to call the doctor 'cause I'm not yet dead.

I was out of town, sorry for the lack of posting, but it was as promised.

Going with a former person on my watch list, which is a developed trust of llama. I respect the llama as much as the next person, but seems to have people either accepting his council or teammates possibly agreeing but pretending to waffle and then being "convinced". I'm sorry that I'm so behind, I'm sorry if I don't make sense, I'm late for and appointment and have to leave 6 minutes ago! Be back later!

Yea. I was agreeing with you.
I think it's actually a little surprising that bullzeye says he has never seen that done. I feel like it has been done a lot.

I never actually said that, just that I wouldn't expect to see it done. I don't see the point of someone trying it. It's definitely not a way to gain civ cred, nobody ever uses a silencing as a reason to believe somebody is or isn't a civ. So I don't understand why Snow would suggest anyone tried to make themselves look like a civ by pretending to be silenced. It doesn't make sense.

Splints, you were the one to say I was not like the last game I was in (for the part I was civvie) and low-key defended FZ.
What happened to your suspicion of me, once FZ was proven bad, it seemed to have dropped?

I dont think i said you defended FZ quiet the opposite. I thought you were deliberately misreading FZ and that you of all people know her better. Since FZ turned up bad it made me reconsider that. You are not in the clear for me, but you were insanified so I couldn't really question you. You had quite a lot of votes that day... I don't seem to be the only one who has backed off you some

I meant you low key defended FZ by saying you called her opportunistic last game when she was a civ.

Was the site down for anyone else? I tried to vote Mongoose than it went down for me.

The last cocoon he opened belong to Snow Dog, who had dozed off. Boogs was working quickly, as the sun was below the horizon, and he was scared the spiders would come back. Snow Dog fell quite a distance, and yelled in pain and bewilderment when he landed. The sun was setting, and the spiders must not have been sleeping as soundly as before. Almost immediately, the group heard clicking and shuffling, coming from the trees all around them.

This time, though, they were ready, and they could still see in the dying day's light.

Who killed...whom?

If someone saved me, thank you very much!

I vote we turn and face the spiders. Let's not expose our backs to the enemy.

ogmogmogmomogmogmogmo I thought we'd lost you!

Spiders eat potentially harmful insects and only rarely attack humans, therefore we should be nice to them.

Ah I understand you now. I did. I saw her being accused of almost all the same things I accused her of last game.

I don't know how I was saved and am not making any assumptions.

I am back (and not dead!), and my absence had nothing to do with wine.

That was seriously the fishiest day/lynch poll I've ever seen.

I don't know what's going on, but I have one point to make: No one has suggested the possibility that the indy team could be aligned with the full-strength baddie team. If that is the case, we may be scwewed.

With that said, allow me to dispell another bafflingly incorrect analysis of the original case against Boogs seen in the posts I've quoted below. I don't know anything about Bullzeye, but he is incorrect if he thinks my case suggested that Boogs would gain civ cred by faking a silence. If he did fake a silence, I think it would be to cover up his repeated and obvious claims for suspicion of known/lynched baddies after they were dead.

That is all for now.

I'll have to reread the roles tonight to see how Mongoose might have survived, but I am certainly not feeling any better about her. The strange pileon seems to me to indicate teammates who knew she wouldn't die voting for her to get civ cred.

Oh, and I would like to discuss the strategy for dealing with the spiders before voting so we can all be on the same page. I, for one, would rather stand and fight than run like a coward.

Wow what a crazy lynch with no one dying and very interesting to ponder on... I caught up and saw I got some random votes with Lizzy and Hedgeowl... Not sure if those are genuine votes that they found me suspicious or because they were hoping to some how save Mongoose for alterior motives. Nonetheless, I look forward to hearing from them. I'm not sure what to do about the spiders but I did notice in the story he said that we were ready this time, so it makes me feel like we are able to defeat them. It sounds dangerous though.... And I'm not sure where Mongoose went? He disappeared? Interesting story indeed.

And for the faking thing that was brought up, I would never fake being silenced to gain credibility. I just saw Tranq fake being silenced in my Pokemon game and it gained suspicion on him and I pondered why he would do something so silly when he was the main Civ character. Even Epignosis can vouch for that having co hosted with me.

My comments were not directed at your case. I was responding directly to points made by Snow, who was saying that Boogs might have tried to gain civ cred. It's his argument I disagree with. As far as indy (neutral, really) teams go, there's no reason to believe they're aligned with anyone right now. Usually neutrals will just win with whichever team wins while they're alive, and they tend to side with the civs because it's easiest.

I'm voting to stand and fight!

But you might to cover up a mistake. You guys can keep repeating the same argument against the same non-existent accusation (per Bullzeye), but it doesn't change a thing for me.

Ok, sorry for the mix-up. My comments then should read according to Snow Dog instead.

Did I go somewhere? Not sure what you mean.

What do we have to fight the spiders with? I don't mind staying and fighting but if it's me with my bare hands I might be better off running lol

It's illogical and makes no sense how I would want to fake being silent Day 2 in order to gain credibility after a Day 1 when I did nothing suspicious to "cover up" or anything to gain that early in the game. It would make perfect sense if someone were to fake being silent after a few days to get suspicion off their backs or something, but not on Day 2.

Referring to the post story where I tried to free you then you disappeared. I didn't know if it meant someone grabbed you and saved you or something.

Right, I just reread the roles, and there are a lot of secrets, but I see two main possibilities for Mongoose's survival.

1. She is Smaug, who is unlikely to be able to be lynched due to his armored hide.

2. She is a Goblin Tow Goblin who has the help of:
Goblin Inventor
Goblin who creates mechanical devices with devious purposes.
Creates items such as armor and weapons for his tribe.

I suspect that armor would be useful at stopping a lynch. The second option is, in my estimation, much more likely, giving the way the votes came down, which indicates teammates in my view.

I also think Mongoose knew full well that she would survive, given her halfhearted defense. This would be the case in both of my above scenarios.

fingersplints wrote:I've seen baddies fake silencings but not civvies.
Voting Mongoose. She is already lynched at this point. Boogs has only 4 and I am not sure how I feel about him yet.

Though I believe Sunfire (Elo?) did that in X-Men and she was good.

I still agree with this general theory though. Civvies don't really have good reasons to fake silences.

My theory is that Mongoose is good and Mongoose voters are bad.

Right. Okay.
But surely, you were saved? You would know if you weren't saved. You would know if your role had a power, if you had bought an item in the store, etc... ? So what do you mean IF you were saved? Were you or weren't you? This isn't an ambiguous thing. It's the question of do you know how you survived or not.
