The Syndicate

I can't believe I didn't notice that before. Dom wasn't around on Night 4, hence no kill from the Moria Goblins. And no one killed on Night 6.

But Epi, that doesn't mean your theory about Kyle is completely hosed.

I don't trust this statement.

I am pretty proud of this post though.

thellama73 wrote:So I was thinking about the case on Kyle. It is predicated on him replacing AP, who has a reputation of not sending in PMs and being inactive, as juliets said. Yet, if you look, AP/Kyle has only missed one lynch vote. Guess who has missed the most of the living players?

Dom. Who has missed four. (although he was temporarily dead for one of those.) What follows is a summary of Dom's contributions since his resurrection.

That means I get first place gold, especially since my sister is the one who took the picture and made Hedge's entry possible.

Russtifinko wrote:Another host post coming. A few important notes:

1. As you may have, noticed, this NIght will last 48 hours. That is partly due to special events happening tonight, and partly due to scheduling conflict's in your host's life. I do not believe it will cause inconveniences for anyone, since you're actually getting MORE time, but I do apologize for the inconsistency. I will be back in the U.S. next week, and thus I hope this will be our final schedule-related disturbance.

Is tonight's special event on its way?

Linki: Hedge got third though.

The group was feeling restless as the sun finally set. They were waiting eagerly for the Moon to appear, hoping that the light would illuminate a hole for the key they had carried with them from their valiant, departed leader's body.

Eventually, something did appear, but it was no key-hole. Instead, the sheer rock face behind them (a little too sheer and perfect, some of them now noticed) was slowly highlighted. It looked as if quicksilver, shining with its own light, traveled down from the top of the rock face in time with the moon's rising. The effect was subtle, but after a time they could make it out: an arch covered the bottom half of the rock face. It was surmounted by a great four-pointed star, and its walls were traced with moon-silver in the forms of leaves. A pair of silver oliphaunts flanked it. In the middle of the arch were two lines, one vertical and one horizontal, and surrounded by a box. These lines divided the rock face into four distinct panels. Above it was scrawled something in a strange rune they had not seen before.



Some believed them to be dwarfish, but Thorin was gone, and with him all knowledge of the ancient scripts of his forefathers. So the group set about trying to figure out what they meant, and what to do with them to get to the Dragon's treasure.

Because he is so old and wise, he is an experienced riddler. May receive hints to riddles during the game.

This made me wonder when INH said to not trust llama. I figured looking at his role might reveal something, but I've got nothing. Anybody think is means anything now, or is it still a boldfaced lie? Because I thought it was the latter at first, but now I wonder...

Linki: Bye bitch.

I remember early when I started playing there had been several roles/events where someone created a riddle/task and someone had a certain amount of time to figure it out or died. Not saying this is definitely what happened, I have no idea what did, but it reminds me of that.

Heck, I'll go first. I ain't a'scared.

Word.

I just got home and see the results but haven't read the lynch conversation from today. Wow - looks like i missed a lot since INH wasn't even in the conversation when I last read the thread. I see llama brought up Dom for missing 4 votes ( and maybe the night pms is I think what you were implying) and it turned out he was bad (though I'm not grasping yet how he died) so good for you llama RIP INH, I didn't suspect you but i can't say I was ready to call you civ. Sorry you were deaded though. I'll be interested in what the arguments were for your baddiness.

I have an appointment at noon tomorrow that will take a while so I'm not quite sure when I'll have a chance to read and react to the pre-lynch discussion but I will at least be ready by the start of day if not during the night (mafia day and night).

Oh and RIP Dom sorry you are out of the game but BIH to the goblin you are.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to be picking a person I don't feel comfortable with to "volunteer" to go through the door.

Why so?

I like making new friends, and i've never played with CBK before, so i was disappointed to see her die before i could be in the same game at the same time as her.

How were you looking forward to learning who she was? We you going to lynch her? What? Why her?

I thought it was pretty straightforward... you guys are jumpy weirdos.

Now I am leaning either in INH's direction or in Kyle's direction, based on the case Rob made about him.

Snow Dog remains an enigma. I don't quite know what to make of him.

Wait what case? :-? who is Rob?

I don't know what to make of INH this time. He is not my #1 suspect though. I'm eager to look back at A Person / Kylemii 2.0. No Moria kills for a while, then he subs in, and boom, the kills start again. That's a hell of a coincidence.

My only qualm about this is that AP wasn't that inactive. As I said earlier, he only missed one lynch vote. Do you really think he was missing all the PMs?

hmmm is that the case? if a person were a moria goblin and i were replacing him if anything the kills would just become less frequent... i haven't caught up all the way

have i seriously been back in the game for 5 days??? sorry guys I need to get my shit together and get all caught up

wait shit i guess i missed the poll... does that mean Dom was the last Moria Goblin? RIP INH

Kylemii wrote:hmmm is that the case? if a person were a moria goblin and i were replacing him if anything the kills would just become less frequent... i haven't caught up all the way

to elaborate, when i'm bad i usually tend to rely on my teammates to send in powers and kills and stuff. especially when i'm busy or distracted. i guess that's a moot point though because the part of the case about possibly being the last moria goblin is invalid. *goes to find the actual case*

Yes you did miss the poll... And as for Dom being the last Moria goblin, I'm convinced. Russti didn't say exactly that in the event post, but I can't figure out any other possibilities. I still wonder why we didn't learn Dom's role though.

I don't know how long you've been back, but I'm not even going to try to figure it out. Llama says I'm bad at math.

Nope.

Kylemii was the first Moria victim. Day 2.

There has not been a single Moria kill since until now. It was even suggested that we were done with the Moria Goblins. That last kill proves that this is not so. Ironic?

I think so. Kylemii replaced A Person. A Person misses votes and PMs. This time, he even had hardware trouble. Kylemii replaces in...boom...Moria Goblins kill.

ok i guess this part's been addressed, all the moria goblins are dead, and i'm alive.

I mean, I nearly died laughing about these two posts, which were mere minutes apart:

I think based on Dom's post death comments he was probably the last moria goblin. unless INH was a seemer, or the team death announcement was delayed

There is that slight possibility with INH, but I don't think that's the case.

As for the team death announcement being delayed, the last Moria goblin could have been killed no earlier than Night 8, because they made a kill that night. That would leave CBK as the other option. Player reads aside, I don't think that happened.

Dom was a victim of economics- probably a "Hedge fund" of some sort.

I'll get my coat...

I'm wondering who can do a "daykill", unless the wound was inflicted the night before.

Seems to me a dagger was bought and used. Dom attempted a NK and was stabbed in return.

Also has anybody had their gold stolen at all recently? If not it is possible the Goblin gtheif is dead.

I don't feel comfortable with this observation. I agree with it, but the motivation for it seems questionable. What suddenly gave you the idea that the goblin thief might be dead?

And I have not been robbed of gold either.

So, do you think the poll is voting for someone we don't trust?

I think we should pick someone who has solved the riddle, since those who did not can't enter anyways.

Personally, I'd feel a little better voting for someone I trusted. There is a lot of gold in there that I am not sure I want to give a shady character access to. However that person might also have to deal with Smaug.
