The Syndicate

OK, thanks for the answer, INH. Then i will hold my vote and self vote (now I have read back, and see that it is not prohibited) if he does not come back. I feel bad leaving Nevinera hanging, and hope BWT comes back and i don't have to do it.

Also Bye Elo, Hi Roxy <3

Svs I think you should just follow the plan.

Why? I would rather be cleared with that vote on me.

Hey, another thought ocurred to me. If we only give votes to, say 2/3 of the people, then if we get an nk, we have a good iea who it must be from.

I'm not sure if that's a good trade, just thought I'd mention it as a possible tactic.

Because I'd rather have u not have a vote on You than nevernira. And look who pops up trying to change the plan...

S~V~S wrote:Why? I would rather be cleared with that vote on me.

You would rather have a civ die just to clear your name?

You should be having this convo with BWT, not me.

Not really no. It's your choice not to vote nev but rather vote yourself.

And how does that save a civ?

Well I assume you claim to be civ and not possessed so you would not need the vote on you. Can you say the same for nev?

Kate wrote:Because I'd rather have u not have a vote on You than nevernira. And look who pops up trying to change the plan...

Hey now, I wasn't trying to change the plan. A tactic like that wouldn't be useful until later, when it can have a chance of catching anyone.

Later on, you can get a vote on all but one person, and then if anyone dies you'll know they're evil. That'll let you lynch one person while checking on another.

Kate wrote:Well I assume you claim to be civ and not possessed so you would not need the vote on you. Can you say the same for nev?

Ok, then I will voteforNevin, IF everyone else but me and him has a vote.

If not, then I vote me. Because I have played all of INHs games, and have participated in a lot of fail plans.

Voted MovingPictures, in accordance with the plan..

And that way too they might not kill even if they could because we would have essentially narrowed them down to one of only a couple players. Ill be back tomorrow morning to vote I suppose.

Who do you recommend is suspicious then? And why is that a better idea? This way we are ensuring that no one can possibly NK.

I'm sticking with the plan because I will be very busy tomorrow. votes Snow Dog

Sorry! I completely forgot to vote in the poll itself. An honest mistake, but I went ahead and corrected it.

And with that, I need to get to bed. For those of you who would be interested, Victor Wooten was even more amazing than both times I've seen him with the Flecktones. Of course, being at most a foot away from the man definitely helps. You missed out big time, Alex!

I think the plan is flawed. Obviuosly, but I'd rather not back out now. I promised. But as Nev says in future we may have to leave a few unvoted. Doesn't mean to say anyone will NK anyway though if it is obvious.

I have a theory also. My theory is we are all white now and when we die we come back as a black.

Oops, forgot Votes llama

Sorry for a third post. I think a spread vote is good but if there is someone we agree, or some of us agree, needs to be lynched, we must be sure of that lynch first. And then the rest can spread votes as much as possible. I don't know if this much cooperation is feasible in the long term though.

Definitely not, since the number of baddies will be expanding, and I don't think we'll know when we lynch one.
This game seems practically unwinnable to me; maybe something very civ-favoring is going to happen with those extras?

The plan is silly because since everyone is forced to fit into this plan no one will stand out tomorrow during the lynch and well have yet another unproductive day because everyone voted the exact same way there is nothing as far as vote patterns to analyze. And the lynch will be completely random. Yes we save a civvie from a NK, so what, we lynch a civvie and almost completely intentionally. Ill play along but I'm not happy about it, voted someone, can't even remember without looking back up at the poll.

^I think we already established we can't continue this way. Which is why I suggested in future to spread the vote aa much as possible only.

Thi

LOL I hit enter by mistake.

This sucks tbh. Here we are me without a vote and bf without a vote. Why b/c russti has not bothered to check in.

Tbs I am followinvg the plan I guess since no one wanted to look at actual suspicions we will lose a civ with the lynch and me, another civ, for the NK.

Tbh whoever came up with this plan I am knew, like everyone else, hat there is always a no show/non participator that will make a plan like this moot.

I agree with bf and SVS's thoughts.

*votes bf* under major protest

Tbh I am sure whoever came up with this plan knew, like everyone else, that there is always a no show/non participator that will make a plan like this moot.

Ebwop - Fixed my wording

Yay I am the only one without a vote

Roxy wrote:Yay I am the only one without a vote

I think u misunderstand. This will only matter if you are the killer.

How Kate? I have no lynch protection nor do I have NK protection. Tell me how this helps if I am not the killer - because I am not the killer.

I have no vote for the lynch which makes me available to be NK'ed all thanks to RussttiFINKo

You are safe from a NK. Everyone got one vote. If you are the killer you won't kill yourself. If you are the killer WE are not safe.

No not everyone got a vote Snow Dog. I did not get a vote. By my understanding, not getting a lynch vote makes me available for NK.

I am going to re-read Name's posts again.

No that isn't how it works.

Here is the relevant bit Roxy.

It is now Day 1. You have 24 hours to vote out who you think is BOB, and whoever he is possessing. Remember, if whoever BOB's possessing get's a single vote, everybody lives through the night.

Ok I think I understand. As long as I am not Bob or his recruit there will be no NK. Right?

If so, then there will be no NK. I am not Bob or a recruit.

Linky - thanks Snow Dog, I read the Host posts and think I understand now.

Sorry for thinking bad thoughts toward Rustti

I went to bed last night thinking on it, and in reality I think this was a bad plan. In a situation like this, I think we should have left at least a few people without votes. I think that's something we're going to have to consider doing every day in order to narrow down who Bob's recruits are. Because if we just keep voting for every single person then it will lead to endless random/manipulated lynches.

I know it's risky, but I don't see a better plan right now.

Roxy wrote:Sorry for thinking bad thoughts toward Rustti

Take it easy, Roxy! That was quite a freakout about me not checking in, considering there were still hours to go on the poll. I was at a party last night and had basketball today. And as Snowie said, if you're not bad then you have nothing to fear from not getting a vote.

I think this plan was a good one in terms of protecting people in the short term, but as no baddies seem to have outed themselves (everyone has a vote now, right?) we need a new plan ASAP.

votes Roxy

insertnamehere wrote:Remember, Ben Horne can change one vote. He could change the vote for himself to whoever he chooses.

Just food for thought.

Does this mean Ben Horne is deciding this lynch? If so I really hope he/she has some good instincts.

By the way, I think Snowie's theory about dead people coming back in the black roles is probably right. Every confirmed role in play (BOB, Ben Horne, and I'm assuming Lucy Moran since thoughts were posted at the beginning of the day) are white.

I play my part on my stage. I tell what I can to form the perfect answer. But that answer cannot come before all are ready to hear. So I tell what I can to form the perfect answer. Sometimes my anger at the fire is evident. Sometimes it is not anger, really. It may appear as such, but could it be a clue? The fire I speak of is not a kind fire.



CUT TO:

2. INT. WINDOM EARLE'S CABIN - DAY

START CLOSE on WINDOM EARLE. Seated in an armchair, pipe in hand, avuncular in aspect, he begins:

EARLE
Once upon a time, there was a place of great goodness
called the White Lodge. Fawns gamboled there amidst
happy laughing spirits. The sounds of innocence and
laughter filled the air. When it rained it rained sweet
nectar that paralyzed the heart with the desire to live
one's life in truth and beauty.
(beat)
Generally speaking, a ghastly place reeking of virtue's
sour smell, engorged with the whispered prayers of
kneeling mothers, mewling newborns, and fools young
and old compelled to do good without reason. But, I
am pleased to note, our story does not end in this place
of saccharine excess.

As he speaks, CAMERA PANS from Earle, travels toward his unseen audience, revealing LEO JOHNSON seated cross-legged on the floor, as if listening to a bedtime story.

EARLE
For there is another place, its opposite, of almost
unimaginable power, chock full of dark forces and
vicious secrets. No prayers dare penetrate this frightful
maw. Spirits there care not for good deeds and priestly
invocations. They are as like to rip the muscle from
our bones as greet you with a happy g'day. And, if
harnessed, these spirits, this hidden land of unmuffled
screams and broken hearts, will offer up a power so vast
that its bearer might reorder the earth itself to his liking.
(beat)
This place I speak of, is known as the Black Lodge. And
I intend to find it.

CAMERA CONTINUES to PAN, reveals a dull-witted YOUTH seated at Leo's school desk. Long stringy hair, head band, a vacant stare. Some sullen refugee from a speed metal talent show.

YOUTH
Listen, man. The story's cool. But you promised me
beer. Besides, you told me there was gonna be a party up
here. Black Lodge, White Lodge, like what's the big
deal?

CAMERA CONCLUDES its move, HOLDS ON Earle's computer screen, where we see a computer rendering of the hieroglyph from Owl Cave.

EARLE
In time, young man. Everything in time.


Boogs has died, he was Windom Earle.

It is now Night 1, you have 24 hours to send in your night actions.

Just now found this.

Well, this seems like a rather good result.

Hmmm. Insertnamehere if one of Bob's minions was lynched would we know?

Yes, you would.

insertnamehere wrote:Yes, you would.

Thanks. So Windom Earle was civ then and not recruited. Well..we need a plan for next lynch obvioulsy. Not sure how I feel about Windom's death. But as he had to survive to the end to win he wasn't positively on the civ side. So, yeah...pretty good I suppose.

I guess this is a good lynch result? Tbh I'm still a bit confused.

Not necessarily, Snow Dog. Does it say he had to survive to the end to win or that he is last man standing?

Not sure

"Windom Earle
Cooper's ex partner, who went insane. Get's randomly matched with another player at the start of the game, he and that player engage in a life-or-death game of online chess, PM'ing the moves back and forth. Every time a player loses a piece, something bad happens to them. If a player goes to checkmate, the loser dies. The minimum of moves that have to be made per day/night is 1. If the other player dies of other causes, or Windom wins, he get's a new partner. Win Conditions: Make it to the end. "

That makes me think he was more of a true indy than civvie or baddie oriented. In that case, I'm okay with this result. Could have been better, but could have been worse.

Roxy wrote:Sorry for thinking bad thoughts toward Rustti

Windom was a bad baddie on the show. He was a survive to the end dtand alone Indy at best baddie at worst. It was a good lynch result. He would have killed off players chess game after chess game.

I hereby stick my virtual tongue out at the plan naysayers. Hehe.

Kate wrote: He would have killed off players chess game after chess game.

At one move per night? Nobody would hae gotten past the opening.
