Day 1 Post Contest

juliets wrote:Well, S~V~S is at work so I'm bored, and there wasn't much going on yesterday so I've decided I want to play a game. For everyone who posts on-topic discussion today - not just a vote post - a post adding something to the lynch discussion or game discussion, I will enter a ticket for you in a drawing for a prize. You will get a ticket each time you make one of these posts so your probability of winning increases as you post. I will draw after the lynch post. One more thing - keep track of your number of posts by numbering your posts starting with 1 somewhere in the lower left hand of the post. If you mess up just correct it. I don't want this to be too complicated. Decisions about what counts as a post are made by the hosts but we will let you know if you post something that doesn't count (the gods and goddesses fun is fun, though off-topic).

Winner: Persephone
Prize: Block

I can't say I've seen Mafia make too many threats, no. Just impassioned pleas at the eleventh hour.

I always make threats. I will vote for you.

Would you like a flower?

Also, just because someone is insanified does that mean she is exempt from a day one lynch? It's day one, it's a hard poll. I don't think anyone should be exempt.

So a player who never even got to speak in the game should go?

No one said that at all...

Hermes wrote:
I get what you're saying with medusa not being able to defend, but it's a random vote there's nothing to defend against its random, what could her defense be exactly? I disagree with your logic, any other day and for any other reason, I would accept, but random in day one insanified or not, I disagree.

It's not so much that she never got to defend herself, it's that she will have never talked at all.

Prometheus wrote:I don't see how her being insanified has any baring on being killed on a day 1 lynch, people need to die so the game can progress, it might as well be anyone.

This gets a huge from me.

"It might as well be anyone"

Really? ANYONE?


I feel a little uneasy about the vote change. It seemed to be a plea to stop suspecting. Especially given most of the votes weren't in yet (right??)

Vote closes in 25 minutes, folks!

Wow my last post should not have gone through. I was going to respond but Apollo had beaten me to it.

I would just add that if You (Hermes) was only able to post in video on Day 1 and was unable to defend or post properly at all, how would you like it if people started voting for you "randomly" without rhyme nor reason because it is just random? Thats why random just never works! Its always better to look for some sort of reasoning especially with all thats been going on OI am suprised by the amount of random votes tbh.

I'm going to TokyoRose for supertonic to anagoge the tie. Piggies premonstration

Prom's vote pinged me as well - just like Hermes and Mars did.

Since we have nothing to go on on a day 1 poll, yes anyone.

I'll take a gamble on Apollo. His switch from Fortuna to Hermes in a blink of an eye, and both for Medusa related reasons, makes me feel uneasy about him. I still have a hard time believing Hermes could have made such a huge mistake on day 1.

linki - lots

I was going to random between low posters, but the flip flopping votes makes me

I am going with Hermes cause there is legit suspicion as opposed to Day 1 randomness. I do not agree with him and Prom-boy that Day 1 silencing matters less than later in the game. I think it matters
less later frankly as you have had more of an opportunity to discuss your thoughts.

votes Hermes

votes Hermes

This swayed me. I voted before Prometheus checked in. I think the case on Herpes in more compelling, so I am throwing my lot in with that. If the fakers are faking,I want them to contact me so we can steal the Hope Diamond by switching out the real deal with a fake.

I am going with my gut on this one and voting Apollo. He has seemed all over the place. Poseidon to Fortuna then to Hermes leaves me wondering. I think I have stated all my other suspicions well enough already.

Votes: Apollo

LOL Artemis @ Herpes

I didn't know she was curse having said that I don't see why she should be exempt

Also I changed my vote

Also I'm civvie

Baddies curse there own all the time

Good luck guys you're gonna need it

LOL Artemis @ Herpes

Your vote for me is fair enough, but I would like to explain why I have been all over the place. I like to talk through my suspicions to see where they lead. I started with Poseidon, knowing that it was a weak reason but having nothing else. The ensuing discussion allowed him to check in and explain himself, which I appreciated. I thought Medusa was indicating a certain preference, so I brought it up to see how Hermes would respond and whether she would confirm my suspicions. When she explicitly denied it, I abandoned that tack immediately because it was based on a false premise. To pursue it further would have been foolish.

By the end of the day, I think I made the right choice with Hermes.

No a

No Apollo. If your civvie you've jumped on a civvie bandwagon

Hermes wrote:No Apollo. If your civvie you've jumped on a civvie bandwagon

I was the first one to vote for you, so I don't see how I jumped on a bandwagon.

Civvies I ask you give me a chance I'm not bad I'm civvie a terrible injustice is about to go Down

Good luck civvies regArdless

I appreciate someone who changes his mind on DAY ONE as new information comes in. And each reason you have given makes sense.

EBWOP: That should have read "how Fortuna would respond" not Hermes.

Oh well someone has to be lynched first sorry for messing up civvies.

I would seriously take a look at medusa and her supporters
Good luck civvies hope you win!

Herpes has spoke hopefully like the virus I shall return :P

Hermes leaned against a tall, tall tree in the middle of a field. It had a smooth, unbroken trunk except for one branch, sturdy and almost completely parallel to the ground about seven feet up. There were no leaves; but the branches were filled with crows. They were strangely silent.

High above in the cloudless, deep blue sky, several buzzards slowly wheeled about.

Hermes fiddled with his phone. He did not really notice the approaching crowd until it was too late.

Hermes has been lynched~ he was Mad Sweeney

You have deprived Shadow of his potential BTS partner, he is annoyed at you all


Sitting in the quiet bar, next to an empty stool, Shadow suddenly felt a weight in his pocket, one that had not been there before. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold coin. It had a picture of a harp on it. A strange compulsion came over Shadow~ he spontaneously decided to bury the coin with Laura. it seemed the thing to do.




Illinois had proven very interesting indeed~ although Shadow was sad that he had learned nothing from the folks at Laura Buick.

He went to the bus stop, and tried to decided if he should get back on the bus he came in on, or take a different one. He looked at the destinations, all adjacent to Illinois (but no Missouri, no going backwards )

Pick One

Aw man.

Poop on a placard.

Very interesting mindset, Prometheus.




Sorry, Hermes.

Does anyone think Medusa can elaborate on her posts yet? I'd be interested what she has to say about Kentucky because of one of the songs she posted.

Artemis wrote:I wonder if Medusa has any favorite footwear.

I searched for blue suede sandals, blue suede espys, blue suede lyrical shoes, blue suede Jesus shoes, blue suede foot thongs, alas, t'was all for naught.


I was not sure who to vote, until Prometheus said it didn't matter who died. So noble of him to volunteer

Linkitis the songs were very misinterpreted, but not with devious intent, I don't think.

Chronos, the cold Kentucky rain song? Just trying to say that Apollo's guess was cold , as in " warm, warmer, hot.... Cold"

RIP Herpes, erm Hermes. If you were a baddie it would have been fun to say "we eradicated Herpes." Now it just feels mean.
If everyone would just keep it in their pants herpes wouldnt be a problem now would it!

Medusa - Lonely tonight was pretty straight forward though yes? Bit of a leap on the Kentucky song.

Vesta, as many songs as Elvis seems to have, it was difficult to find the right ones to get a meaning across. Since my topic for day one was Elvis videos, the best I could do was stay on my topic. I was saving jailhouse rock for my vote post, but other than that, I'm afraid my meanings were not very clear. It wasn't a requirement but it would have been a lot more fun if I had found clear song titles.

The good luck charm song was specifically a reference to the contest being lucky for me, because I was staying on my topic for the day.

These are our Lovely Contestants

We will be taking votes until midway through Day Two (which would be Saturday Night)

Two things to remember:


Thing One: Votes will be via PM ONLY. Discussing it in the thread is fine, though.
Thing Two: The Winner will bask in the glory of being a winner; the prizes will go to the people who voted for the winner, so pick the one you really like. Even if it is a baddie Only one prize per BTS group.

And this is Hermes Submission for Mad Sweeney~ I want you all to say an act of Contrition as you contemplate it:


Mad Sweeney

Oh ok. I was thinking you might ahve been saying about Kentucky voters.

Aww RIP Hermes. So sorry you were taken out so soon.

Damn I almost voted for you as well but went with my gut. Still a lot of interesting discussion today.

Great pictures everyone! Its going to be hard to pick just one

*Votes Indiana*

That's wher emu mom is right now IRL so....

I forgot to say I voted for Wisconsin - that 70's show plus the string cheese I am eating led to my decision.

I'm voting Wisconsin because now that we've started going North, I see no reason to change direction.

Eerie, Indiana.

I love the museums in Indianapolis.
