"As good a target as any right now?" What does that even mean? It's Day 4, not 1.

I am torn about Luke because he could easily be just an inactive civ like Draconus was asking about or like others have said he could be hiding behind his low posts. Tranq pointed out the few questions Luke asked but there is no digging for info like I would expect from someone who asks questions. There's just not a lot there (though SVS makes a good point that he has posted more than Canuck who voted for him for not being present). Despite some reservations (like this is feeling like a bandwagon) I'm going to go ahead and vote Luke and change my vote if something else comes up that I feel is a better vote.

I just looked, and Luke actually has more posts than you do

I can see the reason Luke is taking votes~ he is really blendy which catches my eye more than the post count, and might vote for him myself, although I still suspect Nutella for reasons unassociated with Bubbles. And this post has gotten my attention on Canuck, so i am going to reread her, should not take long. That has to be one of the most bandwaggony votes i can recall seeing in some time.

Hm....

I agree with you completely on Canuck.

But what are these reasons unassociated with Tiny I keep hearing about? I think it was Matt F who said something similar about his nutella suspicion.

Linki: Hi Dom

Here you go, Draconus. My summary of the case(s) on nutelLA. Part of the suspicion on her was potential distancing from Bubbles, hence why it was mentioned.

Completely off topic, but I'm just curious...how do you find the url to a single post?

I'm voting nutella now. It astonishes me that Luke had one vote Day 3 when nutella had 9, and now Luke has a mob on him.

I think it's telling that some people thought two people would be lynched Day 3, voted nutella, and then make little to no mention of her now. And some of these people were uncomfortable with the notion of a double lynch for Day 4.

Looking back, Canuck has not mentione Luke before her casual vote for him today. Yesterday she voted for Juliets & Buglabush (who actually is blendier than she is), but no mention of those two today, one post, straight to Luke. She was only the second vote for Luke, too, which makes it even odder that she comes out of left field with a vote for someone she never mentioned or interacted with previously. This looks like the classic example of an easy bandwagon, tbh.

This was her last post before she voted for Luke; this post was made Wednesday afternoon:

This is a fantastic post, and articulates exactly what it is about Juliets posting that has been off.

Did you already think that juliets' posting had been off before Epi's post? This makes it seem like you've been playing closer attention than you've given yourself credit for

Juliets is one of two people I've actually interacted with this game, so yes I've previously thought her posts odd. No, I haven't been paying particularly close attention, to her or anyone.

This caught my eye when i was skimming her 14 post history~ since I had just read her history, I know this to not be true. She interacted with Bullz, Juliets, and Zebra, who suspected her. Three people. And of course she was questioned here by TH, who is also dead.

Probably a coincidence, but

I think I have talked myself into a vote for Canuck. It is quite possible Luke is bad. He certainly does not sound coached, but coaching nubs is a bad idea, in any case. But based totally on a read of their posts, I am going to vote for Canuck.

Linki @ Draco~

When there was a three way tie, Dom, Buglabush & Bananana (who got lynched) Nutella came in & made a tangent vote for someone else, i don't recall who without checking, although she had mentioned Buglabush as being suspish a few times. Yet she chose not to break the tie with a vote for him. It felt like early distancing gone wrong to me. Not sure about other peoples reasons, but that is mine.

I click on that white thingy there if I want to get a direct link to your post. I think the title (ie "Re: Mafia: etc") works as well.

Thank you for bringing this back up! I don't like this bandwagon that has quickly formed.

Voted Sog. I don't trust him or Golden. SVS makes a good point about Canuckle I will consider a vote there layer on.

Thank you to both SVS and Typhoony. That was very helpful. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable with the Luke bandwagon, so I'm moving my vote again. nutella

I'm going to be away for the majority of the weekend.
I'm putting my vote on nutella for now.
Luke, you may want to answer these questions people are asking.

This is a very strong point. I've shifted my vote to nutella.

Epi's point is a good point and like I said, my vote for luke was provisional. I haven't stopped suspecting nutella I just didnt think it could happen today. So I will change my vote to nutella.

Changed my vote to Luke.

As Epignosis commands! The bandwagon of Luke stops and the bandwagon of nutella begins! lol j/k :P

I can see the suspicion on both of them. I just looked at Lukes posts and he's been all over the place. Day 1 vote: Tranq for being a low poster. Day 2 vote: sig bandwagon. Day 3 votes: nutella and bug.

I missed that post Typhoony made on nutella until today. I'd be fine with voting for either of these players.

Also noticing that since juliets came under pressure yesterday she's been hopping on the bus to whatever is popular. Yesterday she voted nutella in one of the groups but today initially voted Luke and changed to nutella once the thread direction changed.

Tranq do you have an opinion about nutella?
You've never commented on her and the only thing you said about her is that you didn't have time to look at her case.

Did you ever find the time?

Slight addition:
He also mentioned nutelLA here, saying that he liked Golden's theory on nutelLA and Bubbles re: the lie detector.

Typhoony- What do you think of MM? Why do you think he voted for you?

Sorsha wrote:Typhoony- What do you think of MM? Why do you think he voted for you?

I think he's a nub. Been making weird posts all game, one of the people who I would actually like to hear coherent thoughts from.

He voted me because I am Dutch and he likes to discriminate.

"As good a target as any right now?" What does that even mean? It's Day 4, not 1.

More regarding the others mentioned so far like sig and nutella. I'd rather see Luke lynched to those two.

I don't get why people are saying that what I was saying was wierd. Not going to lie I had a few to many drinks in me last night when I post and realized it was sloppy but I stand by what I said.

Is Luke getting votes because he hasn't been posting?

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Is Luke getting votes because he hasn't been posting?

Pretty much. I'd be fine with Canucklehead or others going too though, but it's a better lynch than nutella. I don't think the switch regarding the lack of nutella votes a couple hours ago is a great point; golden tried very hard to establish a scumteam between the two (and myself) on tenuous evidence and that clearly didn't hold true. People seem to be switching back to her now purely on pressure from Epi; I don't suspect Epi but I do suspect those being pressured, especially Juliets.

Like who?

The Canuck and luke points SVS made do also make sense, I'd be pretty comfortable with either of those votes.

I did think nutella and bubbles were a team which was wrong. But I still do suspect nutella. I think nutella, luke and canuck are potentially all good votes. Epi's point, though, about how willing people are to change their views without any basis, is sound. If nutella has teammates, they might have gotten on the bus with her yesterday, but felt pretty good about the vote going in a different direction today.

Pressure? No pressure felt here. I thought it was a better use of our first lynch than, say, "hey, he's not here, let's kill him."

Oh yeah, oh she would be upset about that.

Sorry, I've been busy with school work and exam study, I'll try to answer everyone's questions now.

I'm going to go ahead and vote nutella I just read all her post and she has been really flip floppy all game. She has just been going with the flow and dropping her suspicions. It reads to me like a baddie.

Voting nutella and going to sleep.
If Luke's answers suck I'll likely vote for him tomorrw

I will vote whichever way is most disruptive to your efforts moments before deadline.

I don't get why you don't want to answer my question. How would we get more information from one lynch as opposed to two?

Voting bass
If you give me a good enough answer I will move it.

I hope you guys are right about nutella, but I'm not voting there. I literally didn't have a read on her, and I am not going to jump on a bandwagon of her just because one was forming on someone else. In fact I think it's suspicious the amount of people doing that (while calling her blendy and accusing her of doing just that lol)

Sorry I didn't see it. I mean technically you would get more info from two lynches because we will find out two people's roles . So that statement I said was wrong.

Is the first lynch over in 1 hour?

Putting my vote on Nutella now.

Figuratively, do you have a read on her? Is she the stars in your sky, the fizz in your Spite? Pray tell, what is it?
