The Syndicate

Not even ten minutes left and only six votes. I guess my pessimistic joke about nine missing votes may actually prove true?

I've been patiently waiting for Hedge's response but tbh its time to vote or miss it - *Votes Hedge*

S~V~S wrote:Did you read any of my posts? This am before work I explained myself for the 99th time, what other defense for I need, DH? That I'd the truth, what can I say? And Eloh, I did defend myself.

I meant from the posts today.

Epignosis had supper (tapas tonight: stuffed mushrooms alongside layered tomato, leeks, and zucchini sandwiching Monterey Jack cheese and garnished with bacon and green onions).

From what I can tell, the discussion has not been useful to me, so my opinion has not changed.

Fair enough. I appreciate your responses, despite your bus-riding!

Sorsha's self-vote, defeatist attitude, and the transparency issue are pinging me more in light of your explanations, SVS (somehow, I don't think you'd be that sloppy on day 0 if you were a baddie, but it wasn't going to be ignored :P).

Guess what? I'm voting S~V~S.

Oh, is this Facebook now? :P

Actually that sounds rather delicious.

Hope you're jealous.

I forgot the deadline! I felt bad after Sorsha's non defense and i ended up taking it as civ frustration. Threw a vote for SVS to help give Sorsha a chance. Mrow!

I'm not sure to continue thinking Sorsha for the Day 0 vote was really her playing dumb or if she was really just confused. And I'm not sure what to make of SVS voting for her, I think it's ballsy that early to vote for a teammate when most of us were self voting. But it looked like DH won? I don't see the poll so I must have missed before it ended. Because if people wanted to bring up that maybe SVS was in cahoots with Sorsha, then wouldn't the same be said for DH voters? If anyone has the poll results that would help us all

I was waiting for this redirection.

I agree it looks as if Boogs was trying to redirect suspicion to you and your voters. Very nose twitching.

Hedgeowl wrote:Alrighty then this is a chatty game! Honestly, I read the Sorsha SVS Puppygate as the hilarious Day 0 event that it was and nothing more. I would look at Sorsha the most for being so Gungho about wanting to be a leader, but yeah SVS even shared pics of her dog and cat, so obviously this got "personal" I would say and would definitely not be the SVS baddie strategy some of us are used to.

Hedgeowl wrote:<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<snipsy of over-quoting>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Basically, I think it's pretty funny that one of her claims to be voted the leader was that she is so easy to read, which is one of the reason people are "reading" her as a potential baddie. I haven't decided myself how I feel about her since I also am a big fan of puppies.

Seems you are one of "people" "reading" her as a potential baddie you said as much in your first post. You seem to like straddling the fence here.

You first say you would "look at Sorsha" for being gung-ho then you say it is a reason "people" are "reading" her as a baddie. Then you say you haven't decided how you feel.

Seems to me you have made your mind up yet you want to leave yourself an out.

Hedge's posts here feel slippery to me. Its what I am looking at today and my gut and nose twitches make me think I am right.

Epignosis wrote:Hey Roxy-

Explanation forthcoming: In first statement you quoted Roxy I said, "I would..., but" about Sorsha. What I meant was that normally I would be more suspicious of someone like Sorsha coming in and advocating too hard to be picked, but reading through all the posts it felt like a silly fun and entertaining way to go about Day 0, not super serious strategizing. The way SVS responded to "puppies!" felt the same. Like they were two people having fun in a game (this is a game right? ). That was my initial read on the situation, so the two comments I made were consisten in my feelings.

Linki up the wazoo

Individualism is something I applaud, but this doesn't sound like such a thing at all.

Hedge - you only had me to respond to about 2 of your posts which are both contained in my one suspicions post about you. Instead you quote one of Epi's posts and tried to fluff the suspicion against you away. It has only served to make me more suspicious of you.

linky and now your response has me feeling great about my vote.

Quick succession of votes there to tie things up. I think this lynch may prove more interesting than first thought.

Just two minutes until the end of the vote!

Really, hashtags? :P

With teams so small I dunno, a save attempt this early could be quite risky. Certainly worth considering though if we lynch a baddie.

So you are going to completely ignore the suspicion raised against you? This vote post twitches my nose!

Keep me out of that shit. I stated my suspicion of S~V~S before any votes were cast.

Kindly ask the driver to stop? I'm sure if you explain the situation they and the other passengers will understand.

I have to disagree. When I tell anyone about Mafia they look at me blankly and use the word nerd or dork. My older brother actually said, "Tasha, I thought you were the cool one."

Fortunately I made it in time to vote, but I was too slow getting back to the computer today to respond with enough time. Thanks for waiting so long.

Of the two SVS seems the most likely to be suspicious. Sorsha is definitely reading as frustrated civ on my catch-up.

Votes SVS

Linki - Roxy, I was rushing back to computer and just grabbed the post I found under your name with my quotes in it. It wasn't anything more devious than that

Same One of my closest friends thought I was crazy because I was so disappointed and mad (and very drunk when I found out) about being lynched on day one back in Video Game mafia. People just don't understand!

My kids ate some of it. Not Simon, of course, who said "To hell with this" (paraphrasing) and then asked for hard-shell tacos (which he also did not eat).

Not surprised that MP missed the vote. Four others did too.

True. My estimation of nine was a little off, but nobody's perfect. I have to be wrong sometimes just to make everyone else feel better about themselves.

I was looking in the car to see when the poll ended so I didn't have time to read anything past my post from this afternoon. However, now that I'm home and see the suspicion of which you speak of from DH, I was just putting out possibilities not diverting from any particular person. People made comments only 3 or so people were talking so I posted my thoughts. And I wish I had teammates, it's always hard for me to play not knowing who else is Civ with me like this. Hoping whatever turns out from this tied up vote sheds lights on the baddies

Uncertainty about you is something I feel. Your vote for SVS looks like a blatant save attempt.

S~V~S wrote:I thought I made that clear, I didn't think hr was being silly I thought he had baddie NTSC with nutella to be precise.

Then Dana coming in and sticking up for him, then saying, "Oh he will stop posting funny soon", even though I did not mention that, reminded me of how Eloh thinks I suspect Epi for posting funny~ maybe she told her that was why I suspected Made. It made me more suspicious, but then what Nutella said made sense to me, plus Nutella & Made & Dana & Eloh equals more people than either baddie group. So I dropped it.

And seriously guys, that was shitty I knew there were gonna be votes, but sliding them in at the end is cheesy & baddieesque IMO, especially when it became clear that I was having a hard time on the bus, lol. If I am the one lynched, I gotta say you all know where to look.

At least the game isn't boring.


You guys who missed the vote and aren't participating are missing out this is a pretty good game so far

Very well said. The game did liven up toward the end of the poll though. Hopefully future days will see more participation.

You threw Sorsha a vote to give her a chance, but did not feel like giving me a chance? Pray tell, why? At least I was in here trying to save myself. Typically, that would be the person you give a chance to, the one making an effort.

Since you were having commuting problems yourself, you could have sympathized

Linki, that would imply someone threw me under there, and since I am suspected of being Sorshas teammate, right? And she gave up, why throw me under the bus? Cute joke

You shouldn't either! They're wonderful. As are x-rays, xmas, x-men, and xerox! X is such a fun letter...

Like me.

Zzzz...

I'm super tired, it's almost 1am. I wanted to stay up for the lynch but since I may or may not be going out all day tomorrow it's best to stay on the safe side and get some sleep.

Ah, looks like leaving now may be a good call. Definitely going to call it a night then!

Beauty? Rich coming from you! :P

Okay seriously that's it turn the laptop off now and go to bed.
