Says the same Hedgie who jumped on the Devin bandwagon.

Still have lots of catching up to do!! BRB.

Who are anyone's suspects? It's weirdly hard for me to follow who any of you are actively suspecting for whatever reason.

Let me see if I can summarize some of our suspects and PLEASE correct me I'm wrong.

* Hedge suspects Llama, Birdy and LIzzy

* Llama suspects Lizzy, Hedge, possibly DP and maybe Eloh?

* Dom suspects Hedge, or at least finds her comments weird


Nev, who are you looking at today? Any one else want to chime in?

Jigsaw suspected Devin...

Jigsaw wrote:I still think Devin.is a bad man..

Speak of the fucking Devil. Where ya bin man!!

Here's my opinion on Llama right now: I have no fucking idea what he's doing, and that's definitely intentional.

He's deliberately trying to be as chaotic and unhelpful as possible. Suggesting one horrible theory for a second, then claiming that was a test to gauge people's reactions. The crazy, madcap OT speak, the weird indie role-hinting, it's obvious he's trying something different.

If that was his usual MO, it would be different, but this is a complete 180 on his usual attitude.

If he's a baddie, he's the worst fucking baddie. If he's a civvie, he's the most deliberately unhelpful one I've ever seen. If he's an indie, which he's been hinting at, I'm still not certain what the fuck is his strategy is.

Even after this analysis, I'm not certain if he's bad or not. And that also probably intentional.

I wouldn't, but it might be against the rules, and it might even be against the rules to tell you if it would, in fact, be against the rules.

Not as interested in asking you "why" as I am in this:

Would you like others to vote for you as well or are you only concerned with you voting for yourself?

linki: Call it a hunch, call it my gut, call it my savant-like ability to read people. Devin's okay, I say. I called Rob right, didn't I?

I tend to have a pretty good read on people, too. And as I said BEFORE YOU SAID YOU TRUSTED ME: I don't think you're a baddie, either, and you will not be getting my vote.

But is it enough to earn your vote today?

I'll go with Hedgie today. Shan't reiterate why.

Mongoose wrote:Llama, level with me dude.

Are you acting your normal, zany self? I just have trouble believing Hedge would misread you like that.

Could you both be in cahoots trying to Gaslight all of us, yes/no.

You have ~2 hours to convince me.

linki Oh, Wombat.

Yes

Lizzy wrote:I'll go with Hedgie today. Shan't reiterate why.

Is this you dancing on my grave?

I assure you Mongoose, Llama and I are most definitely not in cahoots. I am not sure of course if he is bad or civ, but I do know that I don't like his initial attempt to get us to vote evenly since we all have uneven amounts of life. Why is nobody discussing this?? The life you have is not the same that I have which makes llamas idea even worse.

Bwt's vote for him gives me pause. Of course this game is interesting in that baddies can in fact vote for each other without fear of killing them. I think Nev's theory is sound and we do actually have to start lynching people to get info. However, it's frankly more fun when everyone is still here, so not sure I really want to do this yet.

Lizzy, I am not sure bout you at all dear. Just not sure.

I see that Me and Jiggy are trading votes again! I am going to vote and join Alex. See yall laters!

linki: I thought she meant llama and I were in cahoots... Ignore the yes...

Fuck it, he's the most suspicious person right now.

^Forgot to add that I'm voting llama.

I don't see how anyone can say I have been unhelpful when I have told you who three baddies and two civs are.

I'm hardly looking. I had no time this evening to read the thread properly - I scanned everything, but I don't think I'm really following much.
On the other hand...

HEY NEV

Llama is in this to win this. He wants to be the Prime Czar of SyndicateLand. Please give us your read on him. he has big motivation to not get erroneously lynched and also to win, so I don't trust him one bit (no offense!)

That's not the first time you've tried to pit specifically me against llama. I don't think you have any info on the topic as a civ, but you seem way too focused to be operating with no intel.

Voting Mongoose.

Incidentally, Llama has played a very varied game in the past. This is hardly the first time he's behaved 'uncharacteristically', and I rather think he does *that* intentionally.
I think he probably enjoys making a persona and sticking to it more than winning, and he's done some very strange things in the past in the name of 'extracting information'. So I'm not buying the zany behavior as an argument for his lynching, though I do wish he'd knock it off a little.

I went ahead and voted Hedge.

insertnamehere wrote: Suggesting one horrible theory for a second, then claiming that was a test to gauge people's reactions.

While I agree with almost everything you said, I've definitely seen some really confident players do this before.

I'll add that his and Lizzy's responses to my question regarding AP before seemed unexpectedly warm and friendly to me. Idk if that indicates anything or if I'm just jaded from years of other games that weren't quite as friendly. Probably the latter

My inclination is still to vote for Hedge this game, though I was hoping vom would answer my question first...

I voted llama. He's being... strange to say the least. Stranger than I'm used to.

EBWOP: Dear Nook autocorrect,

"time" =/= "game"

Also *votes HedgeOwl*

Elohcin wrote:I went ahead and voted Hedge.

your reason being....?

Alright, I am going to stick with my initial suspicion on bwt at this point. Did not like his quick support to go after low posters. It seems like a notorious baddie move to me in a game that at the time had very little suspicions to go on.

Votes BWT

Did I count right? 6 no-shows? This does not satisfy...

Anyone else think they may be having problems with PMs to the host?

Elohcin wrote:Anyone else think they may be having problems with PMs to the host?

Yes, it was only the 3rd PM that I sent to Alex yday that finally reached him.

My poll is closed at 9:14pm but it's only 8:34pm here?

I think the board's daylight savings time settings may be messed up.

Jeez, it was only done for fun and not meant to offend/agitate. I asked you not to pit you against him but I thought you'd be one of the best players to agonize the nuances of his behavior. A lot of times I'd ask Hedgie, but I'm not sure if I trust her in this game (sorry, darlin!)

Is there any way we can have another hour? I would like to vote if possible.

If you are right, you will have earned the nickname "Savant-Garde"

Why are you asking me? I don't have the power to alter time or the poll (in that order.)

thellama73 wrote:I think the board's daylight savings time settings may be messed up.

This makes so much sense. I kept checking my daylight savings setting here thinking I forgot.

Sorry, that wasn't clear, I should have addressed Alex.

@ Alex ^ Message Above

Oops, I forgot to vote.

I manually toggled my DST settings from the User CP a couple days ago when I noticed the times didn't match up. Had to do the same at RM.

I've PM'd Mod and IT Witzard SVS for help with it because I have no idea how to even find those selections.

Guys, while we wait for Alex to come back from karaoke and riding the mechanical bull and doing the cinnamon challenge, can we please discuss strategy for searching for Bandage Girl?

Properly speaking, you benefited from DST ending, not DST itself.

You never need to ask permission to PM me.

Alex mentioned this to me yesterday, and I looked into it, and all of mine have gone through, I have had people send me PMs and i have gotten them. I checked into the phpbb website help threads, and could find no problems like this. Are the PMs remaining in your Outboxes, do they show as sent, or do they just disappear?

Rather than answering in the thread, if anyone is having this issue, please let me know with details (did it disappear, go to Sent, or stay in Inbox?, etc) in a PM.

And if anyone needs help resetting their daylight savings:

Go into the user Control Panel
Click on "Board Preferences" (third tab from the left)
About 3/4 down the page is "Summer Time/DST is in effect:"

click "NO"

Hit "submit"

it should then be OK.

Um, yeah, I was reading over the previous day and were you guys publicly saying what stages you were gonna go to? I'm still not too sure how this part works, haha.

A most excellent point and no less than I would expect from your logical mind.

Thank you, but I'm still dead.

Does anyone want to speculate on why no one is dying? Not that I am complainging, but I feel a bit like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I am going to choose 3, if anyone wants to choose numbers based upon that.
