The Syndicate

YES!!!! I knew Sabie was bad!! And her explanation sounded totally bogus.

BIH Sabie!! But I'll miss playing with you regardless!

It seems like Sabie had a strange unexplained vote, which seems weird considering this isnt her first game. However, if she is actaully bad it would also seem strange not to get more support. I am a little concerned that this is yet another baddie bandwagon.

Linki - Noooooo, switches vote to Boogs

Fuck the numbers

If you're concerned it was yet another baddie bandwagon, then tell me, who would you have voted?

My concern has been greatly reduced.

Oh hell yes!

And I FINALLY just figured out what BIH stands for

I am convinced that it's very likely Blooper is her teammate.

Yay! Awesome and unusual result for day one

What the hell, old man? You voted for kpence. Get out of here.

I really thought you had that contest in the bag MP lol

So glad I went with my gut but the other votes kinda make me nervous .

In all seriousness though, read how Blooper reacted all throughout that lynch, trying to subtly push MR instead of Sabie. It totally reads baddie teammate.

It's in the polls thread. Hosts are so kind and do the work for us.

Sorry to hear, Sabie! I hope things get better soon. And see you in Doctor Who mafia!

I'm going to make a summary of Blooper's posts to show you all what I mean here in a second.

There is a poll thread next to this one that chronicles the results.

Linki. Linki. Linki.

Linki: Looking forward to it MP.

You are looking in the wrong direction sir, I promise you. And we were getting on so well and I was finally being talkative. Ah well. I'll fight it tooth and claw. And tentacle.

What about that slew of literal last minute posts with NO explanation? I'll be looking at those today, as that got us the first baddie.

@Hedge - You totally did

I never say no to brandy

Okay, here's Blooper's most significant posts throughout the ending of Day 1. Seriously, just read them in succession. #25 is the post that singlehandedly did it for me, though the whole picture paints one of very likely teammate.

And yes I realize I could link these so this will be a somewhat long post since I didn't, but I feel it's helpful to see them all in a row and there aren't THAT many quotes.

The ones I mentioned that you also mentioned: MR's unexplained vote for Epi and kpence's self vote. It's the only thing remotely suspicious to me so far, and I'm def giving time for them to give an explanation before making any rash decisions.

But kpence is totally new so maybe he didn't understand the poll? Why would you consider a vote there?

And then would you be voting for MR or Epi? I assume the former because it was unexplained?

20

True. I considered that about kpence when I saw his number of posts, so I guess this discussion will also point this out to him?

And out of those two, if I had to choose, I would indeed go with MR without the explanation. Nothing set in stone, although we're running out of time.

13

Pushing MR vote.

No one's going to beat me.

I hate randomizing... but I'm almost tempted to do it here, honestly. I'm just at a loss.

26

I've re-read this thread three or four times today and the only remotely suspicious thing is that vote (if I'm going to give kpence the benefit of the doubt, which I am right now). But you make a good point about doing something that weird on Day 1 - rather risky for a baddie so early. Gahhhhh I just want an explanation!

17

You'll note that if you read through Blooper's posts she's pretty waffly and agreeable, in an attempt to seem reasonable, even though she obviously has a vested interest in pushing an MR vote. Sabie votes for MR around this time. Blooper backs off MR a bit here after my counterargument that it seems unlikely a baddie would do that.

nijuukyugou wrote:

Bass_the_Clever wrote:I know I have seen people vote for someone on day one as a joke is there any chance that is what MR was doing ?

13

That's why I wanted an explanation. His post about his vote indicates nothing, including being facetious about it (no smileys, no other comments, and he really didn't have much banter with Epi to constitute joking).

This just seems forced. Like "Wow, I didn't notice!" trying too hard.

Still waiting on her response, or I will vote her.

Understandable, but MR's post wasn't really much better than not posting at all. No explanation. Both are weird.

25

This one is so suspicious!!! Trying to sound agreeable but push that MR's was no less suspicious, but without exactly saying it.

I mean, that's true, BUT the timing is totally different. It would not be in a baddie's benefit to vote the way MR did, but it would be in a baddie's benefit to save a teammate to bandwagon, or I guess just to bandwagon in general, which Sabie COULD be doing.

But they are definitely both weird. I'm still far from feeling real confident in a Sabie vote, but it's better than random, and we've given her a chance to explain it. The possible baddie benefit is what makes it worse than MR's. Why she didn't explain it though... that seems unfavorable. So... IDK.

48

True. Now I want two explanations. In less than ten minutes.

27

Agreeable.

28

Contrast this with #25, just three posts before. MR and Sabie's actions are equally suspicious, and now Sabie's is most opportunistic? She also makes a point to say "Not confident". Come on.

I'm almost certainly voting Blooper tomorrow and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

I will have to decline the brandy because I don't drink in dark strange houses. lol

Don't get me wrong, I was enjoying it too, but you started making me wonder while the day was going on... but I wasn't going to say anything until Sabie flipped bad. Now you definitely look bad.

And your attempt to deflect to last minute posts with no explanation comes across really contrived.

Now I'm likely to die tonight, but if I do die, please vote Blooper tomorrow to avenge me.

I actually feel really confident in all of this. Curious to see what others have to say. But it seems really obvious now that we know Sabie is bad.

Also, not drinking the brandy.

LOL, forgot to respond to this amid my building a "case" on Blooper. Don't feel bad, I was bad all those times, wasn't I?

Honestly, MP, I think you are reaching a bit with your suspicions of Niju. But it sounds like she did vote Sabie with this post....

I am going to go ahead and post and then look at who niju voted for in a bit.....my kids are waiting for me to watch Once Upon A Time.

Elo, she did vote Sabie... that was my point. How am I reaching? She clearly kept trying to push Sabie and MR's situations as being equal, once Sabie even entered the conversation, and before that she was clearly trying to push an MR vote.

Then she later votes Sabie and says Sabie's was the "most opportunistic" yet just three posts before she was essentially equating them in suspicion.

Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite Western.

Brandy? Sure.

What's the worst that could happen if I get boozed.

I asked my nephew, the fraternity brother, and it was not a good thing.

Mp - you know what I find most suspicious about ninjas posts? That she said she read the thread 3 or 4 times. but seriously, the switch does seem from strange a bit, but this thread was on fire. It seemed that no one knew where to look except the current voters. Idk if bloop would be the first person I'd look at. I need to look at the poll though to get a better idea of how it all went down.

No sherry to offer llama? Port?

Well, I'm pretty convinced, especially since I saw it all unfold real-time, but I'm open to other discussion.

So let me get this straight...Niju was first pushing MR, then she was saying MR and Sabie (once Sabie was brought up) were pretty much equally suspicious, and then she said Sabie wins out. I don't know....sounds like typical Day 1 behavior to me. She was trying to decide who seemed most suspicious. She isn't at the top of my list, I just don't see anything yet if there is something to see.

I am going to look like a total skeez for saying this, but sabie WAS my top suspect. I held my vote just in case, and then once it was safe, I voted elsewhere.

Something like that, yeah, but you can look for yourself. I appreciate you contributing. Sure, I could be wrong, but I'm a bit perplexed since I think it's obvious she was trying to save a teammate.

I read it twice. Frankly, I am more interested to see what she has to say about it.

Also, sorry llama and everyone for missing the vote. Glancing through, I probably would've voted for MR or kspence had I been around but who knows what I would have done if I'd actually been here in real time...

WTF we had a lynch vote??

The thing about Bloopers vote, though, was that she was the third vote for Sabie, when MR had two and there were still several people to vote. That seems like a rash move for a teammate. But I have to agree with you regarding her posts. MR was not all that, I only voted for him because of his vote, becasue of the posting thing, i had no real suspicions of anyone at that point.

I'd like to understand your reasoning for not voting your top suspect as well.
