This also leaves out players that are currently dead, but not when he 'hid' behind them.Ricochet 2 wrote:One of those nights was ended very early, and it was only 6 possibilities. Take out night one (possibly cookie missed) and that leaves you 5... including death night. MM night three, lacey night four, cobalt night five, dom night 6, llama night 8.
Unfortunately, if that is correct I think it also leaves some of the earlier results open to having been recruited afterwards?
All things considered, I keep coming back to Cookie as the best choice for a lynch.

Knowing that this game has had seemers aplenty, it would come as no surprise if one of Bass' earlier targets were a seemer.
Linki @Dom we don't. It's implied from Bass' recent post and sig jumped on that.
Why are we so caught up in even and odd night killing teams anyway? Who coined that assumption? We know there is a possible team from recruitment. But how are you so sure they kill on odd nights?Ricochet 2 wrote:I've done an iso on llama and I generally feel pretty ok about him not being on the mafia team that had SVS on it, at least.
There appears to be nothing I can see that really connects llama to eloh/ninja either for bad or for good, including the vote that day.
The fact that llama is pretty sure SVS is bad and the next night SVS is nightkilled might be significant.
Timmer 2, worth a look, died on night 4, his iso has some posts about llama.
I feel like what has happened in this game could be very consistent with llama being the even night killer.
I would feel very ok with my vote going there.
I'm not 'caught up in it', but surely you can see it makes a lot of sense of events. I'm not making an 'assumption', I am making a theory, one which I find convincing enough that you are my likeliest candidate for a vote.Ricochet 2 wrote:I was also downright wrong. I don't think synonym is LC's teammate. I'm not going to vote synonym today, even though I think a second team is possible, but we have no evidence of it. Anyway, if anyone is on a second team, I'm looking squarely at llama and boo, both of who seemed confused about why golden would be alive when the answer seemed obvious to me (no double targetting). My immediate thought was they knew they had killed golden the night before and it wouldn't be double targetting.
When I get a moment I'll do a Rico-esque post, but I'm looking at the following in particular so far today: boo, llama, elohcin, cookie, MM. I don't agree with the points raised on BR or lacey yet so I'd have to be convinced, and don't see any reason to suspect anyone else right now.
I've been really sick - up during the night, sleeping during the day, I'm not in good shape. I'm trying to contribute as much as I can so sorry if its not as much as I would like, hopefully it passes in a day or two.
Technically a theory is an assumption. More evidential than a guess, and less absolute than a fact.Ricochet 2 wrote:I'm not certain about two teams with a kill, but I've had it in my mind for a long time and now I think it's probable. Particularly because why would mafia kill SVS on night 6. I have mentioned a possible redirect, and I'm not ruling that out either, but I also think golden was probably bad and died on night 2.
Timmer 2 died on night 4.
I guess an even night killer could be a serial killer, or it could be eloh/ninja's super-secret secret and her recruit(s) inhereted the kill. Either way amounts to the same for me.
As for who has been thinking about the possibility of two teams - how about just sticking with me. This is what I had to say on day 4...

Have you read my explanations about why I think that way? Let me point out the various unkillable baddies I have seen, and the circumstances behind them.Cookie 2 wrote:LOL, I keep expect to come in here and find myself dead. I always tend to lose interest when i am a civ and get suspected for silly reasons. So sorry to the hostesses for the skatey-eight millionth time
In any case gonna do the unpopular thing here & vote for Dom. He is lying about the whole "I can't see why someone would think there is an unkillable baddie" thing, and he couldn't have been roleplaying real Dom with that post since I am sure REAL Dom has had that role in his games. So my only conjecture as to why he said that lie was in order to use it as a basis for suspicion of me, whereas if he were a civ, he would have either not mentioned his thoughts on that topic if he suspected me, or he would have agreed with me that it was a possibility. Even if he was roleplaying a non local player, like pretending to be sig or Wilgy, someone not familiar with that role, I still don't think he would have specifically used that point to build suspicion with on me (or anyone, really). I think he was looking for a hook, and he used that. And civvies don't need hooks.
Not that that argument matters anymore, but it is why i am really pretty sure that he is bad. Becasue I can't find a civvie reason for him to say that with my super strong belief about who he is in reality. And I think that I am a pretty good guesser when it comes to that stuff![]()
Voting Dom cause he's bad.
I also want to bring this vote-post up again Cookie.Cookie 2 wrote:I am amazed to find myself alive. I have had internet issues for a few days, but barring more awful weather, should be OK now. I will catch up (it appears there were shenanigans? I think I expected to come back to day 7?).
In any case, sorry to the hosts and my fellow players.
I see that both Dom & Cobalt votes Golden, so something interesting must have happened. So did everyone else, so why not? I will vote Golden, too, since based on boos reveal, everything is definitely not as it seems, is it?

This suggests to me that Bass had checked cobalt on night one or two (probably night 2). There is a chance Cobalt could have been recruited.Bass 2 wrote:For what it's worth, I thought on Cobalt more after I voted him and decided that his tone wasn't "hiding" per se.
While this doesn't clear Synonym 2, as people have brought up the possibility of multiple baddie teams, it makes it pretty unlikely IMO that they were on the same team. Willingly turning Day 3 into a Syn 2 VS Long Con 2 debate would be a lose-lose for them.

There really isn't, not today. There is a narrow band of people who can be bad, and that does include Sig, epi, and potentially cobalt.

@Lipsticklacey 2 could you tell me why your voting for Sig 2 or why should I vote for him?
Bass 2 do we know what his role did? am I correct in saying his role lets him hide behind civilians, and when he hides behind a mafia member he will die? This means we might not have even had a kill last night and he might have hid behind someone and died or he was just killed. His top two were Llama and Sig, what I don't understand then why was there only one death? Bass 2 death wouldn't have counted for the mafia's kill right? This being night 8 was the night that the mafia has been killed in.
If Bass hid behind a SK would he still be killed or no?
I don't like this post from Sig 2, he also very quickly jumps on Llama 2 this could be becasue he thought he found something or because he is scum and trying to set up a lynch. Thoughts on this?

What I need to know is this, if Bass hid behind a Serial Killer/Independent would he die or is that only if he hides behind mafia? IF he would die no matter who he hides behind if they aren't civilian then I have a theory.

So, if Bass 2 sent in his PM first, and then the person was recruited, the result would have been civilian, and if not, Bass 2 would have died. I'm not sure this changes a whole lot, most of us Bass 2 vouched for could have been recruited after he checked us anyways, and we don't know for sure that he ever did check Dom 2 at all.Roxy wrote:It would be all about the timing.Ricochet 2 wrote:OK, that's really useful.

Okay thanks this help, I still have about 16 hours to make up my mind so I'm going to think about it, right know I'm leaning for a Sig lynch over Llama, I think however sig flips assuming he is lynched we should consider a Llama lynch.Lipsticklacey 2 wrote:Based on what FS has said, Bass 2 would have died if there target was any alignment other than civilian, including independents/a SKer.

I voted for Sig 2 because he spread misinformation, and I think it was an attempt to get an early bandwagon on llama 2.

I recall feeling this way very clearly since this was right after LC had asked me if *I* had any suspicions, which kind of freaked me out a bit. Why was he singling me out? But this reply made me feel all kinds of better.
For Syn, it is more of an over all tone. He sounds sincere about kidding around, and sincerely pissed, not faux baddie pissed. This post went far for me towards feeling that way:
While I disagree with his conclusion (for me, anyone coming out and saying "I will vote/suspect anyone who votes/suspects *X* because of the stoopid ideas of *Y*", as sig did, ESPECIALLY on Day One when we ALL have stoopid ideas to be almost ALWAYS have been said by a Mafia) I can't imagine an actual Mafia Syn saying this about LC. He is coming out and saying that, in his opinion, LCs ideas are actually bullshit, not true. If he knew that Long Con was actually right, and Syn was bad, I don't know that he would have said this so baldly. Like i said, tone. But it reads sincere to me, even If I disagree with him here.Synonym 2 wrote:Why?Gamer Guy 2 wrote:Can we please lynch Sig tomorrow? Synonym, will you help me?
iirc he was one of the earliest to call Scum Con on his bullshit.
Personally I think we should all vote for Sig. Because now that I am thinking about it, I don't think I have EVER heard a town aligned player say something like: "I will vote/suspect anyone who votes/suspects *X* because of the stoopid ideas of *Y*". Have ANY of you ever said something like this when you are town? On Day One?
In any case, back later.
