Disregard the previous: I hadn't read back yet, and I see it was discussed at length.

The part where he said he wanted Epi dead or God help him felt fairly sincere to me, Golden being a lay preacher and all. As I said initially, Goldens original line of questioning to me did not feel that odd,
Unless Golden started out on someones short list, or is a recruiter himself, I don't see him applying for baddie positions in the various contests that the host is likely to have, based on prior experience with their games. I also think that, based on odds, he is as unlikley to have started out as a baddie recruiter as anyone else,
==================So I think that the odds of Golden finishing the game as a civ or a neutral are somewhat higher than for most people.

Interesting that there was no Immortal kill.
@Hosts:
Will failed kills be written into the post?
How many missing PM's?
There was definitely one PM missing.

You didn't suspect Golden for killing Epignosis (aka his bait to get Epignosis being WIFOM) until late into Golden's lynch. Initially you suspected Golden for his nonchalance and for distrusting that he's playing his civ game.S~V~S wrote:And why would anyone think Golden would be an easy lynch? For killing Epignosis?

Golden made his doomed comment fairly immediately, so there was no window for players to feel "sorry about Golden being hounded by Epig". His comment split the players right away into those finding him nonchalant and bad and those finding him genuine and possibly framed.S~V~S wrote:i know.

To be fair, I think SVS can be pretty combative when she's good, too.

That's nebulous, but regardless my point still stands: I've seen SVS be "combative" as a goodie, too. "Combative SVS" does not necessarily equate to baddie SVS in my experience.DharmaHelper wrote:Tone.Canucklehead wrote:What is the difference?DharmaHelper wrote:Theres a difference between defending and being combative.
No, lol. How are you reading it this way? I am sorry I am not being clear. During the day before Epi died, I was sorry for Golden; I would imagine anone on the receiving end of Epis assuredness was.Ricochet wrote:Golden made his doomed comment fairly immediately, so there was no window for players to feel "sorry about Golden being hounded by Epig".

So when was Golden a lynch target for killing Epignosis (or the WIFOM around it)? As I've said, only you converted your suspicion into that late on D3 and I think rey did it as well at one point (without having brought it up before at all). I'd have to double-check about others, don't recall.
Am I misunderstanding something? Did you mean DH implied people (easily) suspected and lynched Golden for killing Epig? Because I don't see where he implied that.
Is your tone this game "combative"? Or just "snarky"? How does that map onto your alignment?DharmaHelper wrote:Alright, well, in this instance,it does.

I found the announcement of the first recruit, and the picture request, but can't find when he recruited either of those times. Unless the hosts misspleed his name

Here you were disputing something MP had said. If every action is rational, that means every decision has a logical decision making process behind it. Does this mean those logical processes aren't traceable by any means?thellama73 wrote:Wrong.

And I get that way at pretty much any accusation, DH, as you well know. I recall games where you intentionally tried to upset me. And I have been using caps all game for emphasis.You just know how to upset me, just look at when we first started playing D & D.
You're stretching here.

Scotty's post caught my eye aswell. Why assume MP wasn't bad?aapje wrote:How can you be so sure MP wasn't bad? Not saying he was but it's certainly a possibility.Scotty wrote:@Dom's demeanor has been hovering somewhere around antagonistic, but I've never seen him play a game before.

Why think it was her teammate? If TinyBubbles is on Ubzargan's team, i think it's more likely she's Ubzargan herself:Spacedaisy wrote:I'll repeat here that I suspect get not only because the lynch for switched but because her response to it seemed exaggerated. I would expect her to be all, "I don't know why" but now a paragraph of her going on about how she is so confused and she doesn't know what happened and she em pmed the hosts, etc. It is overkill. It don't feel like a natural civilian response. I think She knows why the lynch got switched, in fact I think it was her teammate that did it.
Last night, after the lynch switch, Bubbles chose Position 1, rather than Position 4, knowing there would be 'consequences'. Why, after having just survived a lynch, would you be ok with taking on extra consequences? Ubzargan has lynch immunity on Position 1. Could it be someone thought they could really use lynch immunity the next day?TinyBubbles wrote:going with position 1

I was suspicions of you for hounding Golden and being one of the day 1 lynch survivors. I didn't share this because I wanted to avoid tunnel vision, but I'm also suspicious of you based on our past play history together. In a game where you had some say in what role you obtained, you were the serial killer. We've had multiple open recruitments already and I would not be surprised if you were to hop on that baddie boat.
@HOSTS When Ubzargan does the lynch switch, how many players does he target?
