Ture. /topic

I agree the first Ted Cruz doesn't incriminate him. It was playing along with the goings-on in the thread.

Vote Quin, 2016. Make The Syndicate Great Again. etc.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 12:51 pm**

Remember when Sloonei and I tried to get MM to vote for someone at the end of a day?

Seriously though I think Quin is the best choice available. If Sloonei is the SK, then well played sir you have fooled me.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 12:56 pm**

And Quin doesn't even know he's on the chopping block. Sucks for him...

I might change my vote Jay. If there's only an SK left, I can't possibly be bamboozled by both you and Sloonei. :P One of you has to be civ this time.

It does.

Unfortunately I think it's the best case and I don't want to let it slide just because he isn't here. I wish he was, but shit happens.

Quin for the mfing win

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 1:03 pm**

I feel pretty good about this as well. If it's not Quin then someone has stumped me.

Apparently, I've got you stumped too.

When did that change?

This is one of those late game phases where paranoia is at maximum, and the only way to sort it out is to accuse everyone, even get votes on their faces, and watch the results. The Golden/INH dynamic prevents me voting there today, and I think there's a good town case to be made for those guys anyway. Sloonei and MM both met heavy suspicion this phase and also led the tally, and I liked how both of them handled that. I just don't see a serial killer.

Quin is the last one. Process of elimination. The case against him is also the one that inspires me most. I feel as good about this as I could reasonably feel. I hope it works out. I hate serial killers.

You're still hanging out near the top, but your behavior in the last hour or so has me feeling pretty good. You're short on time but you're still giving an effort to stay involved, and it seems like you were just putting serious consideration into your vote.

INH has voted Sloonei.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 1:13 pm**

Voted Sloonei.

I think both him and Quin have cases directed at them with decent reasoning behind them, but I still see Sloonei as the SK more than I do Quin.

Plus, I don't like surprise lynching someone who made clear that they wouldn't be around at EoD.

Probably my biggest SK read. Day 1, he lead a victorious campaign against Sloonei (before turning around and voting me ) and then retreated from the limelight, coasting on good vibes from that one lynch. If I was an independent Serial Killer, that's exactly how I would play it. He's been feigning confusion and "I DUNNO WHO I'M GONNA VOTE FOR" for a bit too long.

Probably where my vote's going.
Every word of this is bullshit. We are in 2 games together right now, are you aware of this? Go look at Romance of the Three Kingdoms and tell me that my participation in there does not mirror my participation in here. I had an extremely busy stretch of days in which I played no mafia at all. Not here, not there. I did not coast anywhere. It was extremely frustrating to be in two games, but be unable to play in either of them.
And then I am not feigning any confusion. I am not saying I don't know who I'm gonna vote for either. I am voting for Metalmarsh. I have been voting for Meetalmarsh for a long time now. Look at the poll. See my vote on Metalmarsh, and all my posts saying that Metalmarsh is my top suspect to be the serial killer. But then you came in here and dropped this turd of a vote on the poll, so now I'm not sure what to think.

Curious, because I did notice that you were always here to post immediately after the night phases ended.

I've been swamped at work and I may get pulled away for a 1:30 off-site meeting (deadbeat customer wants to negotiate installment payments- I'll fix their little red wagon!) That being said, the lynch post will almost certainly be late today. I apologize because I know this has already been a high-stress day (not to mention game).

I've been here for most EoDs. I think Day 2 is the only one I missed. But what I meant is that I was not here for the bulk of days 2 and 3. I only showed up for the last hour or so of Day 3. So the entire middle portion of this game is a big ??? to me.

I think it's more the mass of posts from about Day 2 to Day 3 that show you listing every player in a rainbow list as yellow. There was a definite attitude of indifference there that, looking back, still reads blend-y to me. The explained inactivity isn't something that I find suspicious.

Also, your vote is on Quin, not MM.

Yes, that rainbow list was made to express my hopelessness at the time. There was no attitude of indifference. You may be reading that, but it is not really there. If I was indifferent I wouldn't be scrambling like I am today, would I? You also just called me out for my inactivity (highlighted), and now you're turning around to say it's not something you find suspicious?
Also my vote was on MM at the time of this post. The accusation that I was acting lost and helpless is false regardless of who I was voting for because I was voting for someone.

Looking back at this day, Sloonei went from getting good vibes on Quin to bad in a 3 minute span, both after Quin said he was going to bed.

This happened while Sloonei had a few votes.

I'm not bothered. "Lynch the guy who went to bed" is not a case that ever sells me. I see a Sloonei who changed his mind when asked to reassess.

linki: somewhat, I guess. Manipulation implies intent though, and if that was intentional it was terrible. He left the door wide open for me to correct him.

Posted: **Fri Sep 09, 2016 1:31 pm**

If it helps I think metalmarsh's vote at least makes sense and it helps me feel good about him. INH's vote is terrible, though.
