The Syndicate

That said I'll gladly vote MP with you now that he's not poisoned

Scotty, how many curses do you think are in this game?

If people were made insane by Joker, and if Penguin can essentially curse by blackmail, and if the Riddler has a way to curse people (which I very much believe to be the case), that's three curse roles already. Montoya can silence, which is also a curse.

But sure, Ivy got Turnip.

Linki - You could be right, Dom. And though I've been sarcastic by saying "sure Ivy did it", for real, there is a possibility that I'm wrong.

I'm also suss of TH for his 180 on Mac, though, and I think the whole thing is wonky.

But I do realize I could be wrong and I also "cluttered" the thread the last two day phases, so I will relent. However, I'm still most likely voting for TH or Mac today.

Re: MP's suicidal tendencies...

@Hosts: Can Ra's al Ghul name himself as one of the four roles he needs dead to win?

Scarecrow thing also applies here. Or if he just knew he couldn't win anymore (ie. Penguin getting Scarecrow'd to kill himself).

Then simply don't trust me on this, that's fine with me. I figured I'd catch a bad guy red handed in Turnip today, but nobody wants to hear it.

I have two relatively strong cases on Typhoony and MP, but nobody wants to hear those either so there you go.

Can you remind me what your relatively strong case on Typhoony is? Because right now it only looks like an unnecessary deflection. The hosts already confirmed the Penguin doesn't even have to blackmail anyone, so what evidence are you left with at all? Why do you want him dead so bad?

I don't really want him dead more than any other suspect, but I think its kinda silly to just outright dismiss that he's got points against him. I'd rather vote MP also :P

Yes, I was bad in that game and made those remarks, but also because I believed it to be true that either of them could be faking. In fact, I'm pretty sure Wilgy and Mac laughed off my idea in btsc, but that's what I thought then, and that's what I think now.

But if you're really trying to say that Glorfindel is Two-Face then I don't see a problem, he can win with the civs and strikes me as the kind of person who'd want to.

Bullzeye wrote:But if you're really trying to say that Glorfindel is Two-Face then I don't see a problem, he can win with the civs and strikes me as the kind of person who'd want to.

Now if I had just said "oh look guys, Glor said the word "two" in his first post, he must be Two Face!", I can see what you mean by your post previous to this.

But "twin forces of evil", "second guessing myself", "of two minds", not to mention the recent post of his where I was originally suss of him for "coin flip", c'mon now Bullz.

Also, I'm not even necessarily advocating a lynch of Glor, but he laughed me off and then said "I expect more from you Matt" so I gave him more.

Dom wrote:Hosts: Do night powers go through the night someone is killed?

Yes.

Bit of a double standard there Matt.

So after the first ten posts, there's not much "hinting" if that's what he was doing in the first place.

Though I did find a post of his where he quoted someone and simply said "Seconded"

Again, not necessarily saying we should lynch him, but for one, I think he has been hinting, and for two, I'm sure the cop who is paired with Two Face surely doesn't want him around.

All that said, I still think we should pursue a Mac/Turnip lynch today.

Having second thoughts about lynching Glorfie?

Muhahahaha. I see what you did with these two posts.

Two can play at that game.

What're the cases on TH and Mac?

Wow. Suddenly I think I know how Zeebs usually feels. :P

Not really cases, I just think Turnip made a great case on Mac, but now he is willing to simply accept his "breadcrumb", if such a breadcrumb even exists. I know I've looked for it, I think Bullz and Scotty said they looked for it, but nobody can find it.

Also, I don't believe Turnip was truly cursed but then again, everyone is saying "secrets derp" so I could be wrong on that.

Not knowing what Riddler's actual power is, it's hard to know (or believe your assumption) that your not being cursed means that the Riddler is dead.

Also, I thought you had implied earlier that you didn't know how you were cursed, but maybe I read that wrong earlier, you having been cursed at the time and all.

Again, take from it what you will. Like I told Enrique, you don't have to trust me on this, but for me to outright spell out what I think happened would most likely be against the rules.

I will run away with you DH

Who's up for a day 4 policy lynch of Matt?

So Matt, you seem to have this paranoid theory that people fake curses. Maybe you faked the curse...

Since it wasn't any of the options we've laid out for you. Since you were cursed two days running.

And maybe your suspicion on TH stems from the fact that you were faking it, so you think he must be.

Plot twist

Tin foil hats here, get ya tin foil hats here.

Operative words. And why would speculation be against the rules?

Your tinfoil ideas may be correct now and then, but are quite frequently wrong. So, I find it hard to believe on blind faith that your conclusion here is correct. Especially since there is evidence that it is not.

If I were bad, I wouldn't try to draw attention to myself by faking curses. You just played bad with me, does that strike you as something I would pull?

I see TH has gone from your number 1 suspect to you defending him now.

Hmmm, what was that case on you and TH again?

Linki - Again, don't trust me on the Riddler thing if you don't want, but I know what I know.

Starting my catch up. Will probably work me way through it during the course of the day.

A note as to how I was feeling at the last time I was caught up with the thread: for me to see if things change as much as for anyone else.

My top suspect was/is Enrique, but he made a good defence that I haven't been able to examine.

I was townreading sig for the early part of this game, but his contradictions and apparent forgetting his own view on things and taking a completely different view just a short time later is beginning to bother me. It makes me feel like some of the things he is saying aren't coming from a genuine place.

MP, I still feel could be bad, and even if he isn't his incessant desire to get himself lynched earlier, and self-vote today, is something I'm taking note of. I tend to think MP thinks a lot like I do, and I don't suggest people lynch me without good reason.

Yeah I tend not to ask to be lynched also.

Oh, sig was nightkilled. I think I knew that but I forgot. Well that's one person to scratch off the suspect list.

I have a feeling Bubbles asked for a replacement but Epi doesn't have any. Just based on the fact she did in the other game. I don't intend to vote for her because I think that what I saw of bubbles in the posts she did make look a lot like civ Bubbles, and if ever she does get replaced I'd start at a place of feeling good about her replacement.

@HOSTS
1. Are we privvy to the knowledge of who has asked to be replaced in this game, or is there a confidentiality agreement for that kind of stuff?
2. How often do you wash your hair? Just wondering. I've started washing every other day and the compliments are rolling in!

I'm not up with all the "Typhoony is Penguin" stuff, but this point is persuasive, not about Typh specifically but about the fact it wasn't a night action and that would appear to limit the options.

On the flip side, I don't know why the Penguin job would be so obvious. It's the same discussion we had when people were saying Matt was Joker. I don't think Epi is going to create mechanics that basically force people to out themselves.

Upon thinking about it I would imagine the blackmail mechanic would be as simple as "you vote for who I tell you to vote for or I will send your role to your rival"... why would it be anything else?
