Explanation requested.
We can change our votes and I wanted to give the appearance of participation.
That's the best answer anyone has given to anything this game. Thank you. (I do hope you decide to change it though. You and I are on the same side this time.)

I'll change it so hard.

And I'm caught up. That goes much faster when one has their full mental capabilities.

I get that seemed weird things to pull fz, I was trying to comment as I was reading along, but I was fail. I miss the k-site multi-quote. It's ever so handy when catching up.

Reading back through, it does kinda seem like there was a last minute push to save SVS, I'm just not sure what to make of it. I can see a scenario where svs is bad and her team tried to save her. I can also see a scenario where SVS is good, and the "save" is a nice frame for today's vote. Then there's two civs down with little effort.

So who are you planning to vote for?

As for me, I'm voting SVS.

Out of the ones pushing the SVS agenda TH sticks out most to me.

Turnip Head wrote:Rest in piggiedom, BWT.

Of the Dom voters, SVS is still the one I'm looking at for today. I think the pigging of BWT might have been an attempt by the baddies to try and "prove" that the push to vote Dom wasn't the baddies' doing. 5 Dom voters, only 3 baddie roles. Obviously at least a couple of the Dom voters were civs. But BWT was an odd choice to turn into a pig unless the baddies were hoping to make some sort of point by choosing him. I'm surprised they didn't choose someone more random.

SVS, where do you think the baddies might have placed their votes yesterday? You said yesterday that you would read back to see what you had missed. Are you suspicious of anyone based on what you read?

I'm not sure what to make of the rest of the Dom voters yet, I feel the situation with them will become clearer based on what happens today. I appreciated FZ changing her mind about me; she had some questions about my gameplay, we talked it out and she changed her opinion. That seemed genuine to me. Flip flopping is not an inherently baddie trait. I'll be keeping an eye on her, but I came out of that conversation feeling better about her.

In particular this post seems to be laying a lot of ground work.

I'm not pushing any agenda. I'm suspicious of SVS, I've been suspicious of her all game, and I've done the best I can to talk through that suspicion with her. I haven't tried to influence anyone else's opinion. It is not my fault that no one else brought up any of their own suspects today.

I'm not seeing SVS's civvie game. She would be accusing me more, i think, if she were a civvie, or she would at least try to get me to stop derailing the thread with suspicion against her if she was a civvie, because she would want to put the focus on players she thinks are baddies. But I think she knows I'm a civ.

I think she's a baddie, so I hope she gets lynched.

Are you suspicious of me because I'm suspicious of SVS? Do you think my suspicion of her is disingenuous?

My suspicion of SVS has very little to do with whether or not she was saved yesterday. I have a gut feeling that she's bad: if I'm right, I'll be looking more closely at people who might have tried to save her. But I'm not pushing that connection, I've tried to keep my thoughts about SVS focused solely on HER behavior this game.

I'm not sure if you're able to read SVS, bea, but I think you might be able to. Do you think we're seeing SVS's civvie game? Do you think we're seeing her baddie game?

Yes ma'am.

TH, the main thing I focused on with Dom was him saying that S~V~S had been spending more time on people she thought were bad than people who were civs (paraphrasing here). I referred to it as "outright lying" because it was, well, outright lying. S~V~S had spent so much time on Andrew, that most of the rest of her posts were her trying to defend herself. I know it's not much, but it was a Day 1 vote, and it was what felt strongest to me at the time. I was clearly wrong, but there's not a whole lot I can do to change it now. And I stand by my justification for it at the time.

So sorry, but not everyone who voted for Dom did so for the reason you claimed. I just proved otherwise. I will say that I felt FZ, Kate, and Sorsha gave the weakest reasons for voting for him. So I can safely rule out giving them a vote tonight.
I didn't even vote for Dom
Why did you vote for TH (was it him you voted for)? He didn't have any other votes and you had to know that vote would just go to waste. If you didn't mind Dom getting the votes, why not just vote him instead? Could it be that you knew he wasn't a baddie and wanted to look better later on?

If you know that I said "I don't mind Dom getting the votes" then you should know my explanation for voting TH.... It was in the same post.

I think it'd be easy enough for baddies to use SVS as a scapegoat.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:21 pm**

I think TH has been making some good points this day, and for me, what has changed is that while it was too early to say she was focusing on civvies last day, SVS is still not really bringing anything to the table, and she's also being very gentle with TH, so I'm actually considering voting for her. I still have doubts but it's an option

I know why you said you voted for TH, it just didn't make sense to me. It was between two people for the lynch at that point: SVS and Dom. You thought SVS was a civvie and said you didn't mind Dom getting the votes. There was still a chance SVS could have gotten more votes, so if you thought she should be saved, and didn't think Dom was a bad lynch, logic says you should have voted him to seal the lynch.
So I'm wondering if maybe you didn't care who got lynched, but still wanted to make yourself look better when one of them got lynched and came out a civvie. You wouldn't be under the public's eye

That's actually a really good point. Not wanting to get your hands dirty on a lynch where you know what the outcome will be is something I see exceptionally frequently with baddies. Worth keeping an eye on her.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:29 pm**

I spent the day in court and just read though kinda fast. I would not and did not try to save svs. I'm a better player than that even my head is half in a game. I think bea alluded to this earlier. Not me specifically but anyone. And I don't think svs would let or encourage her team to do so.

I'm not sure why llama is so hot on her trail but it seems like a personal vendetta.

I'm voting llama or th (just because you seem bad and I don't think you should have gotten the acorns).

For now at least it's llama.

Kate wrote: I'm not sure why llama is so hot on her trail but it seems like a personal vendetta.

I can assure you it's not a personal vendetta. I started out this game specifically trying to avoid that, since we always end up going after each other. However, my intuition, plus the way the votes fell yesterday leads me to believe strongly that she is bad. Please don't make the mistake of saving her twice.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:37 pm**

All I've done this game is express my suspicions. You can disagree with my suspicions, but I don't see how expressing them makes me a baddie. It makes me a civ who is actually trying.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:38 pm**

Just because there are two front runners for a lynch doesn't mean I have to vote for one.

I don't know if SVS is civvie or not... All I have seen is her being under the knife from the very start of the game, I don't see the case on her, I don't find her suspicious so I'm not voting for her. And the suspicion on Dom came up pretty close to the end of the day and (IMO) what he was accused of doing was the same thing I saw from TH..... (jumping on the suspicion of SVS). The fact that Dom garnered the suspicion for it and not TH justified my suspicion of TH to myself, so I voted him... And will do so again today.

Linki- that's how I'm seeing it too kate

Isn't it funny that more than a few people are finding TH and llama suspicious for going so strongly after SVS, yet she doesn't? Hmm, I wonder what to make of that. Maybe, that they are actually right?

Then, there's INH who voted SVS and she said she was suspicious of them. Looks a little like they might be working together and trying to distance themselves.

Who did Metalmarsh say he was suspicious of and who did he vote for yesterday?

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 6:01 pm**

To DH, Kate, Sorsha et al. :

Take a step back from your interpretation of my intentions. If I'm a civ who is suspicious of SVS, how would you expect me to play?

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 6:08 pm**

I'm not getting the attack on TH either, unless it is another attempt to save SVS. He has been nothing but logical and straightforward this game.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2014 6:17 pm**

Who did Metalmarsh say he was suspicious of and who did he vote for yesterday?

I self-voted yesterday, didn't have time to read the thread before the poll ended. To be honest, I probably would have voted for dom as well if I had a little more time to read.

I thought the save yesterday was a dumb move. I can only assume that they view her role as so valuable that they were unwilling to lose it so early.

Probably, if she is bad.

Then again, the votes are piling on llama and TH instead, the two instigators. I'm trying to figure out if that would make SVS more or less bad.

A little of both, it depends on the person. llama, for instance, or MP, distances HARD, throws them under the bus sometimes before the bus is even in the terminal, lol. Some others have problems doing that to teammates until it is down to the wire.

I just got home, gotta catch up.

Linki @ Llama~ there was no save, except from people who think I might not be bad for the ridiculous reason you have outlined.

Linki @MM~ I am not so sure Llama or TH are bad, but I will vote for them if i have to save again.

Off-topic - I do wonder why so many people on this site like to state and drop hints that they are civvie. I just find it a little redundant sometimes. Everyone's supposed to be acting civvie (almost always). Anyway, that's why I said that.

Back on task. - Just do whatever the heck you want and I'll vote you if I don't like it.

This is a sidebar and not really relevant to the current game, but you always assert this about me, and it is not really true. I think I did it once in a game you hosted so I have that reputation with you, but honestly it is pretty rare for me to throw teammates under the bus.

Carry on.

Why would I be accusing you more? The way you are, i have a role in mind for you, and I don't think Llama is bad based on his full frontal thread association with you, I don't think he would do that if bad, although i have seen him do it with a civ in another game, but then so did you, and i don't think you would fall for it if he was bad.

Are you getting my drift here? That is why I am being "gentle" with you, as I believe FZ said.

Linki @ Llama~ In Grimm, where we were teammates, you threw our teammate under the bus "just in case" since he was low posting. That is what I was thinking of, although I really did not understand why you kept suspecting your CIV recruit in AG, tbh.

No you can't. At all, lol.

OK, of the two of you, I will vote llama, becasue tbh, I feel better about TH than about you. Although his arguments against me are better organized, and he is more dangerous to me, i think.
