I really dont think timmer is Zoom.
Murder, Mayhem, and Mafia

I still think we should No-Lynch and let Wally imprison Timmer tonight, and if he survives (as Girder, which I believe he is) then we lynch him tomorrow. If the game ends, we party. If not, then we lynch someone else. Wally seems to be the only one left with a kill. I don't really see the downside to that plan. You may not really care if we kill off some Indys on the way to the end, but brother - I care deeply about that subject.Metalmarsh89 wrote:Anyone who thinks that timmer is Zoom, and not a New Rogue should come in and make a case for another player being a New Rogue.

Like I've said before, I have reasons to be afraid of a night kill item and I imagine there could also be a deflecting item, but not sold on that one. You don't know in who's hands it will fall. So the part about Wally being the only one with a kill is not a sure thing. It doesn't take anything from the rest of what you said, but keep it in mindLong Con wrote:I still think we should No-Lynch and let Wally imprison Timmer tonight, and if he survives (as Girder, which I believe he is) then we lynch him tomorrow.

Everyone who is left in the game at this point has played a good game - they are participators, they are invested, and they have put a lot of time and effort into this. No one deserves to die just because we can't hit Timmer today.
That is the key word in this whole statement. Turnip Head's kill should have passed on to someone, and I fear that the new killer is waiting until the right moment to make his move. This move would also deceive everyone else into thinking there are even fewer New Rogues than there are. Call me paranoid, but this is what I'm thinking right now.Long Con wrote:I still think we should No-Lynch and let Wally imprison Timmer tonight, and if he survives (as Girder, which I believe he is) then we lynch him tomorrow.

Me? Any role power? I think I'd go for a ressurection. Having Roxy back would be ever so nice.FZ. wrote:MM, can I ask you something? If you could have any power you desired right now (game related), what would it be?
You know what, that is a very good point.Long Con wrote:I think the Attack Drone was clearly piloted by a baddie, because it took out the Confirmedest Civ, Llama. I think it's likely that it was an Item... as in the killing Item has already been used, and we haven't seen it again. Actually, reading the post again, it self-destructed after killing Llama. Probably a one-use Item, if that's what it was.

Aces had BTSC with Roxy, so their dead bodies must have been near each other. timmer also had BTSC with Roxy, so he probably was nearby. Is that too farfetched an presumption?
Linki: lol, not sure what you're looking for.
I don't think it makes a difference. If you want to prove yourself by ending the day, then why not end it at a time when it's convenient for you? Currently, the crossover point is somewhere around midnight-1am EST, here in Ontario. If that works for your convenience, leave it be, if not, then you can change it!FZ. wrote:Would there be a point in saving a power to end the day early to another day? Or should this day just end already
Here's an early comment from Devin about the New Rogues and Arch-Villains. His first assumption were that the Arch-Villains were the baddies, but realizes that they are not THE baddies. I don't know what perspective this post would come from. Certainly not an Old Rogue or a Detective. Possibly an Indy Rogue or a New Rogue. Also possibly an Arch-Villain. But for the sake of this reading and the public interest, I will assume that all of the Arch-Villains are dead.Devin the Omniscient wrote:By Aces!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the line between civvies and baddies in this game is rather blurred. I initially thought that the Arch-Villains were the most obvious baddies. I still think they are, but I just realized that we don't actually know what their win condition is.
On second thought, after rereading win conditions, the New Rogues are the most obvious baddie team. Lol.
If Devin is telling the truth, then that means he can be The Folded Man, Magenta, Girder, or Tar Pit. Now llama had Devin had BTSC, llama never went after Devin or suspected him, but it looks like he was nightkilled not long after this. So, based on my knowledge of The Folded Man's role, I will assume Devin is not he, which narrows things down to the other three.Devin the Omniscient wrote:FZ, I totally agree that it seems strange that the kills started back up (if I read your post correctly) or are coming more frequently after all of these replacements came into the game. Now being a replacement myself, let me go ahead and say that I do not have a night action. Period. I don't think I can say anymore without incurring MR's wrath.
Devin kinda shifts his perspective about the different factions, and this seems like it is coming from an Indy Rogue's perspective. Of course, the discussion about these things was already happening, so Devin may have just adopted the idea.Devin the Omniscient wrote:Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in Death Note which makes me sad because it's by far my favorite anime series.MovingPictures07 wrote:I am just becoming increasingly convinced that people at The Syndicate don't truly understand how neutral independents work. I saw it in full form in Death Note and I'm seeing it again here.
But rest assured, MP, you're not alone in this thinking. When I first joined up in this game, I too mentioned how blurred the lines between "civ" and "baddie" seemed. With the obvious exception being New Rogues who want everyone dead except for Indy Rogues. The rest of the win conditions are more pin-pointed to one+ factions.
So that being said, I will not be voting for you as I don't think you're bad, yet. I just think you are very misunderstood, and I'm tempted to look at those being really hard on you for this...LC and MM
Another post from an Indy Rogue mindset, and linked with the previous post.Devin the Omniscient wrote:Don't say no one. Because I totally do. As I've stated before the only conventional team is the obviously bad New Rogues. But that's about where that convention ends.MovingPictures07 wrote:I need to obviously go away. Sorry for spewing everywhere.
Thanks for the support, Devin, but it's clear that no one shares my viewpoint regarding this game being unconventional. I knew it was a gamble. I should have just stayed not giving a shit, it would have ensured my survival better.
Anyway, I'm pretty mixed on whether I get lynched at this point, I honestly just want to be put out of my misery, but I really wanted to play this game.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to speak up sooner. Super busy day here at work.
Kind of strange thing to say for someone who hasn't played a game on this site since Fight Club Mafia.Devin the Omniscient wrote:Moving my vote to Timmer because I don't want MP to go out this way AGAIN.
This isn't the first time he called timmer warm and fuzzy. Dunno how he really feels.Devin the Omniscient wrote:I still don't care for your reasons for voting MP.

The other suspect was timmer, who i ve been reading abd thinkin about...like i said before, im reading him as civvie, but it wouldnt been the first time he fooled me, so i kept my eye on him anyway, and actually brs theory that he was mind controlling people made me think about voting for him, until....some people started "vouching" for him, wich made his claim that he is a civvie a bit more likely. It seems he has btsc with a couple of people (via map) and somehow is making peeps like th thinks he is legit. That gave me pause on timmer again. Until mp did all his act and took over the thread with thaf overwhelmingly suspiciod beahviour i still dont get.
So im still open about timmer. And i reafirm my suspicion on rabbit (i ve saying it since day 1), and would have voted him if he had 1 vote and mp didnt do what he did. I also need to rethink something about bass, based on thing i know and some of his posts.... bbl with more thoughts
I can, at least agree with you on the Timmer and Rabbit fronts. I would be comfortable with another Timmer vote. My warm and fuzzy feelings here are very fuzzy, indeed. He's been giving off strong "civ"/Old Rogue feels and I can't help but fear they may be manufactured.
And Rabbit is certainly an odd ball.
Lots of linki.
There was the lynch of DREAM as well, in which Devin was the second voter on. Devin never mentioned any suspicion of DREAM before, but I will talk more about this.Devin the Omniscient wrote:I sincerely hope that your family's lucky streak doesn't continue down this path, SVS. Sorry to hear about everything going on, but glad to hear that he is okay!
Wow. 2 self votes already. What kind of baddie team strategy is this?![]()
But seriously, Before everything exploded around MP the previous day, I had intended to keep my vote on a DREAMY non-talkative player. So I'll place my vote there for now and create yet another 3-way tie. I could make a habit out of this
Then if you had to find another NR aside from Timmer, where would you lookLong Con wrote:I think the main thing with Devin is that Timmer seems to be legitimately trying to take him down. Why wouldn't he just go after me instead? I don't think the game is at a point where the baddies can afford to throw a teammate under the bus, there's too many known Civvie roles out there.
My Problem is, that I think at least 3 indies are dead. Rainbow and Abra are dead, and I'm assuming Magneta is also dead, because I can't imagine her not stopping a lynch and us knowing there's another okay person. Then, there's Bass who we all assume is indie too. That leaves only 2 indies. This means there's no way BR, you and Devin could all be indies. Someone is lyingLong Con wrote:The places I would have looked have diminished. I think rabbit was bad, I don't think you are (although ending the day early with MM's blessing would be a nice confirmation), I certainly don't suspect MM any more, Sophie's cool, BR I am sure is Indy, and Devin reads very Indy as well. I really think that the game will end with Timmer's death.
Exactly, and two of those players are up for a lynch.FZ. wrote:My Problem is, that I think at least 3 indies are dead.

Let's not forget that timmer said that DH was also an Indy Rogue, and that is actually something I would agree with him on, which will narrow down the Indy Rogues even further.
So since timmer and BR are off the table, I think we should strongly consider either Long Con or Devin for lynching today.
So why don't we lynch Devin? Would that impact your own survival?Long Con wrote:All I'm asking is that you give me a chance. If the game doesn't end when Timmer dies, then by all means, open up this discussion. Just don't kill me before letting me try to win with you guys.
The way I read it, the Folded Man can choose to hide from or enter map btsc with another player upon entering the same square as him/her. I can go into more detail if you would like... Why would I want to hide from a known detective?Metalmarsh89 wrote:If Devin is telling the truth, then that means he can be The Folded Man, Magenta, Girder, or Tar Pit.

Now if Devin is lying, he is surely not an Indy Rogue, because why lie about such things or even say it?

If he is NR, maybe he's hoping I'll flip Zoom? Maybe vice versa. But both he and the Top voted for me the last time around. At least it started out that way.Metalmarsh89 wrote:A couple other things I want to mention. Timmer has voted for Devin twice now, both on Day 8 and today.

The way I read the role, he cannot gain BTSC.
