The Syndicate

Congrats juliets! And thanks, Russti, for being an awesome host of an awesome game! I had a great time. Space Daisy and rewayS were fabulous teammates; it was so fun to have BTSC as civvies.

Go, civvies GO!!!!!!

Sorry Boogs. That explains a looooot. Sorry I didn't put the pieces together sooner...I wanted to lynch AP earlier on in the game because of my suspicion of him sneaking in to vote at the last minute but never posting explanations; at that point no one would jump on that lynch wagon with me! Sorry I was a dummy and didn't realize I had an ENTIRE DAY to think over my vote and your wagon got jumped on. :/ Bummer, dude.

Bye Lizzy, sad to see you leave us.

Welcome juliets!!! :yay:

Ahem, because Daisy is a very good friend of mine in RL, I would like to please direct your attention to this:

Captain Bunny Killer wrote:On that note, I feel that I should give some rl context, so that it doesn't get her into trouble. I knew what was going on with Daisy, because we live together. I saw that she was about to be replaced. She jumped back in, because I warned her about it. I don't have any info on her alignment. Just clearing up a potential unfair misunderstanding.

And this:

My co manager fell and hurt herself on the job. Which means I am basically running the store by myself. I just got a co manager trainee two days ago, and my shift leader trainee is moved up to a fll fledged shift leader. But they are both still so new and unsure of themselves it still leaves me with a lot of work. I am on Day 8 of a nine day run right now. And quite honestly, I am just completely run down physically and mentally. That is why I have been AWOL. I really don't want replaced though. So if you will give me a chance I would like to continue.

This seems to have been overlooked in the recent flurry activity.

Speaking of, I thought the vote ended today; I got my day/night timeline all confused with the weird short night. That being said, I am going to take a break from the thread since it has been a bit tense as of late.

AP, how is your computer situation? I want to come after you next, but feel like you should be able to defend yourself.

Boogs, thanks for re-explaining what you've outlined aboce. I'm sorry that has happened to you in multiple games. I get how frustrating that can be.

I echo all of the above, you're a great host Russti!

I don't this this would EVER happen, lol. But if anything DOES happen that makes anyone unhappy, I am here, even if you just need to vent. If you have an issue, take it to me, via PM, and not to the thread

So I just wanted to remind everyone that SVS is there for us. Please vent to her if you need a reassuring

It's feeling tense again....I would just like to encourage everyone to take a nice, deep breath. It's a game.

Boogs has not answered my questions. He posted a snarky post claiming that I didn't read the thread and that he did in fact answer my questions (which, no he didn't). Then he made several posts indicating that he did not himself read the thread very closely.

I think he's bad. Lunch is over in four minutes. I'm voting now while I can.

Mmmm tacos! Yes please

Man, I always get it wrong! lol

Dag frick. I fail at formatting today. My two sense is under the bolded in the above posts.

Boogs wrote:I did notice SnowDog was quiet, but I wasn't sure what was going on with it. I did not post my thoughts on it, but it did make me partially influence the decision I did not cast my vote on him to start with. My vote for Vompattii was to save myself when I noticed the poll was ending and I was going to be busy with friends and not sure if I could check.

I understand voting to save your own skin.

But I won't deny the fact I did trust llama's judgment on Vompattii even if Vompattii turned up civ because I trust llama in this game dispite that the last 2 lynches haven't turned up as everyone has wanted. I keep saying, we need to try for low posters and then 3 of them swoop in conveniently to try to get me near the end of the lynch... And that means you SpaceDaisy, Leo, and A person.

Umm, no. This is simply not true. If you look at my contribution compared to AP, we are NOT in the same category (me: 68, AP: 26). I have at leas I vote right after I get off work, but have been posting during my lunch break for the last few lynch posts (excluding today, it was after my Sunday afternoon nap). This is simply not true and a huge overstatement. Daisy also clearly explained her absence, if you have been reading the thread I'm sure you saw.

However we did get this sign of life on day 6:

and here is the quote of the post in case you were going to be lazy and not actually look back.

Wow. That was a bit unnecessarily caustic, don't you think?

Shifting blame now?
I said I suspected Vompatti and I voted for him. I was wrong. But I didn't try to convince others to vote for him. They did that on their own. And Vompatti did nothing to try to stop us from lynching him. It's as much his fault he got lynched as anyone's, since he was not contributing to the civ cause. I'd be surprised if he was even sending in his protection PMs. I don't really feel sorry for him. What happened is the inevitable result of making no effort all game.

I hear you on this point. I am going after those who jumped at the oppurtunity to vote for someone (vomps) not on their team (bad baddies!) I am looking hard at AP, unless of course I get offed by him tonight.

Boogs wrote:To Leomatti- Here's one example where I answered your question. I also answered again today with Llama, have you not been reading any of my posts or do you just like pointing fingers at me?
Boogs wrote:{/quote]

The reason I brought up Lizzy specifically was I was giving an example of someone who caught my eye because there's a lot of people barely taking and I think instead of going after the obvious choices, we need to look to the other direction. She's been quiet along with several others that go with the flow.

I have been reading, I asked for specifics if you had them, not about just generally non-posters.

Boogs wrote:There's exhibit A and B Leo, but thanks for trying to get me lynched anyway.

Adding Leo and A person to that list of low posters i think are bad
And I am not a low-poster comparatively, a little quiet, yes, but that's just me and how I do. I think you're taking gentle prodding from me a little too harshly. I'm just testing the waters here like everyone else. But your suspicion hopping isn't necessarily helping your case.

Unless A Person offers some explanation for his habit of last minute votes without posting, he is rocketing up to the top of my vote list for tomorrow.

I'm just going to vote now for Boogs as previously stated. I'll follow my other rabbit trails of suspicion when time allows, but for now votes Boogs.

I just saw this, re-reading through llama's posts, that was night 3.

I'm kind of feeling Vompattii or Snow but I think some quiet people as stated like Lizzy and we seemed to have squashed all discussion that Daisy could have been bad and she hasn't been very talky lately. There's a start for me from those 4 to cast. I think the less obvious choices are where I'm going to find a Goblin.
To the bold yes, and duh. I said that earlier and therefore obviously agree. But I don't know why this automatically excludes Epi and llama. What is your logic in this reasoning? If I may ask for clarification. And what does Lizzy's input about Daisy have to do with us looking at her. That's like the point of the game, and people have been doing that all over the place. Why do you bring up Lizzy? Do you have any more specifics you could bring out? K thanks.

However, I just realized Boogs never answered the questions I asked.

If he answers, I'll spare him, if not, that's where my vote is today.

I'm not in favor of the low-poster voting, I'll just let it be known. Yes, baddies can hide and lynch people, but it's summer and people have been away and I feel like we're more likely to kill someone innocent.

Also, I can spare 50 gold if needed! Meant to mention that. I failed to get my vote in on time, but wanted to go the back way. I must remember to do it before I get off work, or else I can't make it in on time.

I'm doing my re-reading, so we'll see how it all shakes out....

Hedgeowl wrote:I am at a bit of loss where to look right now because while I thought Epi worth a look, Smaug killing Rey just feels like an easy set-up of him, since Rey was going on about Epi being bad. He's my top suspect for now though.
I've been going back and forth in my head on this. Either, smaug is setting up Epi.
Or Epi is Smaug and thought we'd think that someone was trying to set him up by killing his most vocal adversary. I don't know Epi well but he seems to me the kind of ballsy player who do this sort of thing.

I thought about this possibility too. I don't know Epi or his playstyle, but it did seem suspicious, didn't it.

Boogs wrote:I've got to decide now, and I trust Llama's judgement in this game and his play and he's leaning at Vompattii. I know BWT voted me and Capt bunny (big surprise) will vote me like he's said, so I'm going to have to Vompattii vote in order to prevent my possible lynch while I'm going to be busy before the poll ends at this point. I'm still watching my other names very closely and can hope one of them gets lynched if Vompattii does not.

I think I might vote for Boogs due to my relative trust of CBK and her arguments and wariness of llama as of late. Maybe Boogs sees something I don't, but I can't commit to trusting the llama.

I say Smaug foots the bill. He's rich!

Possessor of the Ring, which gives him special powers. Also the dwarves' burglar, despite being a homebody. Initially doubted by the dwarves, he continually goes up in their estimation.
Gains +1 vote every 3 Day periods. May have the opportunity to burgle from Smaug.
Maybe dis have something to do wit it

Ahh. Perhaps. I wonder if she wasn't aware of the power that the ring gave her? Too bad

Now to baddie hunt all those hiding behind misguided civvies.

NOOOOO!

First civvie lynched

Mongoose

Or is that for a nk? I need to revisit roles...

I have to vote now, lunch is almost over. I'm voting for llama again, not that it makes a difference a this point. Mongoose is a gonner (unless she is in fact Smaug or unlynchable for some other reason.

*votes!*

IMPORTANT HOST NOTICE

I am traveling to Norway tomorrow to start a two-week study abroad course. So we will see how it goes with Night 5; it may be extended to be a 48-hour night period. I would still prefer if you all voted and got your actions in by the usual 24-hour deadline, and then if I have the opportunity to post, I will.

The game will then continue to roll on. It's possible there will be delays of a few hours on host posts at times while I am in Norway, and I may go so far as to change poll end times, but I will try to avoid changing things around too much.

Now back to your previously scheduled lynching.

No way! I have a friend from Norway; he's from Porsgrunn.

I'm not saying that voting for Mongoose is bad or that I assume her to be good, it's just that there are a lot of baddies out there that can easily hide within this Mongoose hunt.

I'm going to do some reading on other people and see what comes to light.

I'm just going to vote now so I don't forget and there is a lull here at work. Fight the spiders! :knight:

There is no guarantee that we'll run from the spiders and get away. Nor is there a guarantee that if we fight we will kill them/fend them off and get away unscathed. Why not fight?

I was out of town, sorry for the lack of posting, but it was as promised.

Going with a former person on my watch list, which is a developed trust of llama. I respect the llama as much as the next person, but seems to have people either accepting his council or teammates possibly agreeing but pretending to waffle and then being "convinced". I'm sorry that I'm so behind, I'm sorry if I don't make sense, I'm late for and appointment and have to leave 6 minutes ago! Be back later!

*votes llama*

Checking in. Made it to Chicago last night but was not able to get to the interwebs to vote or read anything.

I didn't forget food and water, but I wasn't able to vote in the poll. Does that mean I automatically refused the hospitality? That's what I would have voted for.

The civvies are kicking butt, THIRD LYNCH IN A ROW getting a baddie! Well done all of you who voted Eloh. And nice job, Epi, for sniffing that one out. I tip my hat to you.

OK! Off to play some more. I'll try to read asap, probably no sooner than Sunday night.
