Well, I gotta make a decision, and I do like to make things *interesting*, especially with changeable votes being a factor. Lorab's fallen off the radar more than last phase, so let's give her a vote and see what happens when these votes get a bit closer.

I'm speechless.

FZ. is not Mafia because she replaced Elohcin.

Elohcin loves BTSC. She wouldn't quit if she had it. She'd be in there talking about...kids and bedspreads or some shit.

But the fact is she's out.

FZ. is a alone.

You're welcome.

I'm not a loser.

LoRab

Epignosis (6), Sorsha (15), Golden (16), thellama73 (18), JaggedJimmyJay (19), Tranq (20), FZ. (21), motel room (26) 30%

Hmm... this is interesting. You and Epi, and now BR and Blooper, who weren't there before. If yesterday's bloc were to go together this time around, they'd surely have the numbers to prevent a JJJ lynch. Two options come to mind: either the Lorab voters aren't on JJJ's team, or they figure the spread of the vote will make it easier to sway the lynch when crunchtime comes.

Linki @ DH: What specifically makes you speechless about Blooper's post? Unless you literally have been rendered incapable of communication.

Well put. You're not getting my vote.

I think I'll leave it on Jay. I don't want to lynch that Metalmarsh fellow, and FZ is definitely not bad.

And LoRab and Tranq votes. I have nothing to say about them to be honest.

Dr. Wilgy, please vote FZ.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2016 7:53 pm**

re whoever is wondering why lots of people voted lorab yesterday but not today...

It's because yesterday, lots of us were finding a consensus candidate to save jj.

I'll vote lorab to the same end of it comes to it, but I think mm is a good bet. He really is playing like dune mm.

Don't you find it incredibly suspicious that Sorsha would be the one to ask that when she (with your help) got the bandwagon rolling against LoRab yesterday?

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2016 7:55 pm**

Well the JJJ voters don't seem to be budging.

Just pulled into work. Football game starts in an hour. Going with marshy. Jc's evaluation of his posts, helped to get me there. Sorry so short and flyby like.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2016 7:57 pm**

I realize I just posted my rainbow with MM in light green, but that was me getting lazy with rotating people around based on my previous rainbow. He's more of a solid/bordering-orange yellow for me, haven't seen anything compelling either way regarding him, but the fact that he's been around makes him look a little worse. I still think Sorsha and Dom are much more compelling targets.

I can't wait until you finally find out you're wrong about me this game. Chalk up another player who can't read me.

Bold statement time:

FZ. is the serial killer.

Votes going with the breeze, snappy rebuttals not to catch too much heat, somehow gets genuine marks from several people, unciv "I would let a dormant baddie be the last baddie standing, so I can then laugh at his so-called victory, if he achieves it this way" mindset.

It fits.

Considering how the Jay/LoRab lynch played out yesterday, are you really surprised it isn't repeating itself exactly the same today? The reasons behind that rapidly building bandwagon were clear and the source of most argument the first half of 3.5. I had you as one of my strongest town reads during Talking Heads but I'm not getting the same positive vibes this game.

Sure I'll be happy to vote for a fourth candidate 21 minutes before deadline to really muddy the lynch up.

I don't understand why you had civvie vibes from me that game tbh. I was a civ but it was one of my worst games ever. I defended a baddie (LC) on day one or two and then pretty much gave up after coming under pressure from Matt and Mac before getting lynched on day 4.

If Wilgy follows Rico's suggestion it will put FZ roughly on par with the others. "Muddying" lynches isn't necessarily a bad thing.

And to add to this- you were killed night 1 I believe? So all you saw of me in-game was me defending a baddie. So that really makes no sense that you read me civ there.

I just changed to Lorab for a couple of reasons.

1. It satisfies my desire to see if my day 1 ping is accurate
2. There are less of my suspects on the wagon
3. The most important reasons. 5 votes each looks cool.

I don't want Wilgy to follow my suggestion. Except if he's bad and feels like exposing himself by wagoning.

Ok, I saw alot of good points for why JJJ isn't bad. I'll break the tie and vote LoRab.

Linki - Did I say LoRab? I meant FZ!

In spectator chat I was pretty vocal in reading you as a civ iirc. A lot of my issue that game was why you got crap for defending LC when a few others did just about as much, and then that mode of suspicion died off with you. Defending a baddie on its own doesn't worry me that much in my analyses of towniness, but staying with the same targets for too long does.

Well, here's your big-ass wagon on LoRab yet again, whoever asked about it.

Posted: **Sat Jan 16, 2016 8:10 pm**

Regardless of how this lynch goes, it's going to be a big discussion point for a long time to come. I don't feel comfortable putting the nail in JJJ, so I might add strength to the Tranq push. I don't like FZ's statements regarding him, which feel defensive even after Tranq voted for her (I read that vote as baddie distancing in a lynch with other, more popular candidates) . And I have maybe my strongest civ read on HBB. So...

Linki w/HBB: Well, that changes the strength of the push. I'll go with it. *votes FZ* Will Tranq change his vote now that it's close?
Linki w/Mac: To paraphrase DH, " because making it interesting (5 votes each) is a civ reason to vote on Day 3.5"

Of course the "looks cool" bit being the most important was a joke. I actually am voting primarily because of who else is on the wagon.

Wilgy adding his ugly vote to it though gives me pause.

Sorsha has now voted for LoRab every Day phase. That's either some heavy commitment, some mighty badddie tunnelling or makes me think of a certain old character...
