The Syndicate

Funny I didn't get the linki. Okay Ninja, can you say, out of those people who voted for you, who caught your eye the most.

I'm not sure I liked Llama's reasons. I would be okay with the "I don't want to die", but the fact that he felt the need to add a joke there, makes me think he's worried about how he's going to appear, so he throws in a joke

llama pinged me in the first place with the BWT post, but apparently I took all of the early votes too seriously. My gut is often right, however, so I might go in that direction. Snow Dog came out of nowhere with his vote, too, and has switched all over the place (from randomizing, to llama for "fun," to me for being "insincere").

The linki probably didn't show up because of the timing out issue. At least that's my guess

I always throw in a joke when I am having fun. It is because I am merry.

Untrue. You were my first and only vote.

I admit I missed your first post to me. I was actually surprised you hadn't said anything to me I'm not very serious in my vote. I just wanted to get in on the early voting fun going on. Would think you would know me better than that. Today is my last day of work so am busy trying to finish up everything I started, which is tough on a holiday weekend Not sure who I will seriously vote for in the end.

How about MP? He seems a bit eager to please. He keeps seeing my point of view, and explains things. Not sure I've ever seen civvie MP do that. Can anyone share their thoughts about MP? Does it feel genuine to you?

I don't remember you being that merry in the Monopoly game (Can I talk about it since we're both dead?)

Ah, sorry - was going off your posts, not the physical vote. I should've said "switched opinions" to clarify.

She only has more posts bc of ot posts.

You know, I'm not sure. I certainly don't like it. But I don't know whether it's just not understanding her logic and she's civvie, or whether she's a baddie trying to find a way to save her teammate or just needed to come up with a reason to vote someone.

I'm not sure how I seem eager to please. I'm vocal in expressing agreement and disagreement. God forbid I agree with you because you and I generally see eye to eye on matters (something I believe we've both noted).

What do you mean by "explains things"? I'm confused.

Why do I not seem genuine? Or is that not what you were saying?

Yea nijuukyugou's vote was off to me but she just played a flawless baddie game in zelda so I don't see her making a mistake like that this early but hey everyone makes mistakes. so who really knows.

Okay, I like your answer. But recently, you started out every game suspicious of me, so this agreement thing surprised me. And by explaining, I meant that you went into detail when answering people's questions when no one else did. Could be you're the only polite person in around, though.

Lol, one of the reasons I often get suspicious of you is that I get paranoid most of people I often see eye to eye with. I realize that I can agree with baddies and disagree with civvies, so don't take my agreement with something you've said as a necessary statement of my trust.

Oh, okay. Well, when someone asks me a question, I like to make sure I answer it to the best of my ability, that's all.

That said, I have no real reason to suspect you just yet, FZ., and I've found your attempts to baddie hunt genuine.

Okay, what do you think of llama so far?

I'm just not very good at this game apparently, but my vote for BWT was because he didn't vote in the first poll. I always think that's a bad thing and then everyone jumps on me for thinking its bad to miss a vote. Isn't it? I wanted to make sure I got my vote in because I wasn't sure if I would be too busy to do so later. Sorry I didn't have any wonderfully thought out logic behind it. As far as ninja goes idk I'm seeing it as an I want to post something and be involved in the conversation post rather than anything crazy. I mean no I don't expect anyone to ping or do anything obviously baddie the first day but there's always that possibility I guess.

Lol, don't worry, I wouldn't say you're not good at it. I believe I'm terrible, particularly as a civvie, but that's just me.

Oh, I see. You said D1 but he had posted during D1 so I was confused what you meant.

It is generally considered poor form to miss a vote, yes, but the Day 0 period is really kind of a welcome period that isn't as important as the rest.

I think that sometimes, the first day is the best place to find baddies. While civvies are really relaxed and have nothing to hide, the baddies do, and sometimes they just push a little too hard. After the first day, theories and conspiracies take over and it's somehow easier to trick people because of wifom and how we go in circles in our minds. At least I do.

Something about his reactions seems too cheerful or merry, as he calls it, to feel genuine. But I know he gets lynched often on day 1, so I wonder if it's one of those instances

Good point re: baddies on D1. Never thought of it that way before.

Regarding this, yeah, I don't know. I haven't seen enough actual baddie hunting from him yet, but I'm not sure as to his alignment really at all right now. I wouldn't say his behavior so far is out of character for his personality, so I'm hesitant to let him seeming too careless as indicative of baddieness.

I don't know. When I talk about baddies pushing a little too much, the line where he explains why he's voting Nunju strikes me as a good example for that. I'm kind of torn between those two. No one else caught my attention other than that so far.

Oh for ducks sake. Losing posts is so annoying.

Again.

I was going to say the same thing about Mp the fz said about him. By the time I read through the thread she had changed her mind on him. Not sure I have though.

I was surprised how easily he changed his vote off rox and seemed to do so following a trend of people doing the same.

Couple that with his quick vote to jump on the ni ja votes.

My votes going to mp, at least for now.

Wouldn't you think he might be more guarded with his shifting as a baddie?

Hi, FZ!

It's all I had time to say. I'd hope to have an idea of where to vote by now, but I pulled extra hours at work yesterday and today. :/

Hey
Well, you still have time to read through. Can't wait to hear what you think

Well, I'm going to vote llama, because of my gut feeling and reasoning earlier, and possibly saving my own skin. Y'all might see it as my overreacting to Day 1 playfulness, but regardless, his vote pinged me, as did the other early ones. I understand others' reluctance to vote llama because he does get offed early often due to his playfulness, but he also uses that mentality to his advantage. Or, rather, it has worked for him the other way (people avoid voting for him because of it).

For those voting for me, listen to reason - I am not clumsy. I post what I feel like, but I calculate what I post, good or bad. And people seemed extremely eager to jump on me for an overreaction that wasn't an overreaction at all (lots of votes on the first day of Day 1 is unusual, and you have to go on something the first day, so I went with that). I expressed an opinion on suspicious behavior. I stand by that opinion. If I didn't want to draw attention to myself, I wouldn't have posted. Voting for me will not make you happy unless you are bad.

And I will be a sad, sad Blooper finally having enough time off to read the thread, but with no thread to read :P

Ok, out of curiosity, did I miss something here?:

Kate wrote:Couple that with his quick vote to jump on the ni ja votes.

He's the 2nd of the bunch that voted for Nij. Did others jump off?

While my readthrough was essentially, "Wow, SoFi and FZ threw down a gauntlet re:Nij.". And then thought to myself that of any post to call out, this:

Seemed like an insincere, bandwagony one.

But then I think back to Kate's post that I just highlighted...

MR, so what are you saying? Do you think Kate is suspicious, or do you think Snow Dog is, or both?

I was wondering about Snow Dog. He (is it a "he" or a she"?) kept joking that he might vote MP, then vote llama, but ended up voting ninju. While the former were with a sarcastic tone, the latter did not really send a genuine vibe.

Voting Snow Dog.

I get the vibe that this Niji or Llama choice would be civ or civ. I want to hear from Kate too.

The playfulness of Snow's post above strikes me as off, if that makes any sense.

Linkidueto timeouts: Both haha. See above. Kate's was more of a serious question because I did a quick readthrough, but I don't understand if her comment was hyperbole or not.

I get the vote for Snow Dog, though I think that if both ninju and llama are civs, and Snow Dog a baddie, then he would probably not want to look bad when they come out civ, so I assume he'd let someone else be the one to decide between them and try to stay out of the line of fire (not necessarily but likely).
As for Kate, I think that even though MP was the second to vote for ninju, he was the fourth to voice suspicions.

Sabie's response seemed genuine.

Though I did think that Nij's initialpost was worded kind of wonky her last post felt the same :/

I do not see anything wrong with llama that makes me want to ask myself wtf yet but I am quite surprised he did not bring up anything about voting for a low poster though I guess that what the Teeth vote was about.

I am not seeing anything in MP's play that gives me any paws - yet.

splints response made me feel better though I do not know how she could miss a Beatles video on the first page of the game . srsly though it was The Beatles

Imma think on this.

Linky seems like normal Snow to me - also FZ he is a he

What do you make of Splints reason for voting Roxy, and her leaving it there and not coming back to do something with it?

I kind of feel like voting for Splints, though I don't want to waste a vote. Anyone wants to join me?

Well she (splints) did she was not leaving it there and would be back to vote later.

Roxy wrote:Well she (splints) did she was not leaving it there and would be back to vote later.

Oh. I'm stuck. Even though I don't feel great about either llama or Ninju, I don't feel comfortable voting either, so I need to decide and I really need to go to bed

Ok, thank you for clarifying! I'm in a bit of a rush so I was wondering if I missed some of that suspicion (I obviously then saw that you'd brought up Nij's name too, so yeah at least 3rd).

I see the rationale in your thought process re:Snow too. Perhaps he genuinely believes he's jumping on a wagon to catch a baddie (Nij), idk. But if he does, it doesn't rule out the possibility of him being from just one faction of the baddies.

I do feel like Llama is more of an enigma to me than most players. Niji semi-fooled me last game too.

It doesn't rule him out from being a baddie on another team, but I think he'd want to be more careful because he's the first to look at (for bandwagoning), if she flips civvie).
