The Syndicate

Clean as Eros' new diaper. Seriously, mate, you were on our recruiting list, but we thought you were Hinzy for while, so sadly, it didn't it happen. On the other hand, I would freeze whenever I saw your replies and think: Oh gosh! He knows who I am and he knows that I'm pulling a Thomas! Butt didn't happen. Huzzah! Also, it would have been fun to be on a team with Mata and Snowy for the first time. Next time, I suppose.

Big hugs to SVS and juliets yet again and of course, Goosey, Llama, Roxy, Hedge, Rey, DFaraday and Timmer (pity you weren't here longer).

Oh, and spelling a u-less 'behavior' was a pain in the arse k.

It would've been more fun if I hadn't died twice

Double hug! Have I ever killed you? :P

Huzzah! Nice one team(s) :P Cheers hostesses! And Chronos, sorry again, mate! You've really done great and have been the most civvie friendly serial killer I've ever seen. Here's to you and everyone who played!

Someone really wants Chronos dead. But why him of all people? We also don't know what reasons Phoenix had. This has to be one of most baffling games I've ever played.

I then blacked out and
hit the floor. Two teeth flew out,
so never... again.

Sorry man! Those were the instructions. Glad to finally see Mars dead, though.

I haven't been to Maryland, so why not?

linki - Chronos, like I said, in my case, instructions. I don't know about Aphro.

I don't know what to think of Helios; Mars had caught my eye for some time now though... I am very confused.

First thing's first - I'd like to apologize for not being around but I was in fact trying to dodge Helios' inquiries. About Ares, I excluded him because he had become more active, at least when it came to voting, earlier than you, and I found myself in two instances where he had voted seconds before I did even though there was no sign of him being there, and I also took into consideration his vote for Herc.

Now to be polite and address Aphro as well: I don't know if anyone noticed, but on day 8 I was cursed. This however, was the work of a civ. And since Helios and I had become very fond of each other recently, my gut feeling told me it might have been him, so I tried to hint at him that I had acknowledged that, but because of the nature of the curse I had to continue the way I did. Looking back, Helios either can't take hints - seriously, it was like "why are you kicking my foot under the table?" or I'm not very good at this whole hinting business, or he had nothing to do with it in the first place. I don't know what to think of it. I hope I've been clear when I made my case against him last time. His defense was oh i've been busy, oh I don't like case building, oh I only vote for things that don't require thinking.Then why are you still playing? 'I suspect you because you dare suspect me.' Yeah, thanks. How am I supposed to interpret all this? Can you at least see why I would think you are bad?

I'm here! And I'm also trying to be polite, so bear with me.

I don't know about you people, but I'm visiting a friend in North Carolina. Bbl

And kick ass music!



Whoever did it, whether Electra or someone else, good eye!

Mom always says to go bed early to wake up fresh in the morning.

I want to look at Mars and Sunny some more next. I hope you have enjoyed your dinner. I am so sorry if there was something you didn't like, I did my best.

Mom always says that carrots are good for your eyesight.

I wonder where everyone is. Did they not like my chicken casserole? Where are the other two bad boys? The sunny one is running away from responsibility yet again. Such a shame. It makes his case even worse. Same goes for Milky Way.

linki - Aphro, would you like to try my chicken casserole?

Mom always says that if you make funny faces you can freeze like that.

Pluto wrote:Voting for Mars now. Hopefully some others are willing to come vote him and save me.

I doubt I will live through this lynch and I'm on my phone so I'll make this quick. Look at the people who latched onto my case initially for weak or no reasons. I am sure you will find some baddies in there. Sucks that we lost a powerful civvie in me probably but good luck to the rest of the civs! It was a very fun game!

You're such a bad boy! This is so similar to what Herc said the first time he was close to getting lynched. No dessert for you!

Mom always says to put a pinch of salt when you boil eggs.

Girls, girls! It's not very polite to act like this when there are so many people around. How about you join me for a nice piece of chocolate cake. If you like it, I'll get you the recipe for this as well. I can see why one would suspect the other, but I'm not sure how conclusive these cases are. Such a shame, especially when there's good evidence for those naughty boys. I know! Let's play I spy! We'll have so much fun!

Mom always says to brush your teeth before going to bed.

Electra wrote:That leads me to examine Ceres. Voted Apollo Day 1. Artemis Day 2. Fortuna Day 3. Athena Day 4. Hercules Day 5 (14th vote of 16). Pandora Day 6. Helios Day 7.

If bad, Ceres either threw a teammate to gain credibility (unlikely at that point) or is on the other team. The only thing that strikes me odd is the Day 3 discussion. Anyway, Artemis and Fortuna were both civilians, which makes Day 3 a tough Day to read.

Good to see you've joined us too, dear! Would you like some coffee? Tea perhaps? When I look at your post, I have to admit that my votes seem like they're all over the place. If you need me to explain anything, I'll gladly do it. And you MUST try my chicken casserole. I'll get you the recipe too if you want.

Mom always says to be polite and respect your elders.

I'm being so silly again. That was an impersonal 'your', for everyone. I am very sorry about that. Have a brownie!

Chronos, when you get to your dessert, keep this in mind

Mom says to always spit those watermelon seeds because you really don't want a giant watermelon growing inside you.

I hope I am not too rude, but I would like to bring to your attention the case of another couple of very naughty boys. First there's Mars. He defends that boy with no manners, Hercules, I don't know why, maybe because they are playground buddies and they are so similar, not to mention the fact that he constantly goes to war without putting on his armor. I'm shocked. Then there's Pluto. He's tied with Phoenix, is the only one who suspects Eros, and what is the lynch result? Exactly! Having Phoenix lynched would have been too obvious because of his voting record. And let's not forget his cry of joy that he was not on the poll. So fake! And wishing better luck to that other bully. Such a bad boy. Both of you bad boys!

Looking at you, I'm thinking:

Mom always said to keep your back straight, because you don't want to end up with a hunched back.

I'm so silly. Talking to myself like that.

I forgot to post this beauty:

Such wonderful times...

Sunshine, keep this in mind

Mum always said not to forget your mitts when it's cold outside.

It is very much a possibility. I''m really glad you were able to join us for dinner, dear. Seconds? Get it?

Helios wrote: I've been hella busy lately can answer most of this. I vote for night votes because they require no thought whatsoever. And I'd rather not everyone be on me for just no-thought voting every day poll. Anyways, I'm sleuthing now as you can see, so there.

And what do you mean you've finally seen the light. Because I questioned you? :rolleyesemoticonidon'tthinkwehavehereyet:

This is not how you were raised, my darling boy. All your actions and this kind of justification, work against you, the light is what you really are. You look like you're coming down with something. Here, take this scarf.

Welcome back, Chronos! So wonderful to have you with us again! Would you like to stay for dinner?

Remember to eat your broccoli because of the vitamin C and dietary fiber.

Ceres - I asked earlier but maybe you missed it, how sure are you about Phoenix?

I'm so sorry about that, dear. I don't think Phoenix is the SK, but the absence from today's poll makes me raise an eyebrow.

What?

This means elaborate on what that means, and what you're basing it on (even though I already know it's nothing). All I know is you think because I'm quiet I'm bad (and that theory sure works a lot hardy har har). So please, do go on.

Aw my boy! What am I going to do with you? You have a total of 11 posts, hardly any of those are on topic, none of your votes are justified, you haven't made a single case on anyone which makes me think you have people keeping you posted, your voting record is weird in the sense that you only have 2 lynch votes , so of course you can't be held accountable for that, the rest, when you decide to show up and vote are night votes. What do these night votes do for you? Anyway, thanks to you, I have finally seen the light.

Wow! Eros!

Tennessee got us drunk on Jack and bamboozled us all.

Since nothing is happening and I really have to go, I'll vote for Helios. If he's not the SK, I can see him being part of a baddie team where his teammates keep him posted, so why should he bother to catch up in the first place?

Aphrodite wrote:@ Ceres - if you felt that way about Mars why didn't you comment on my case about him? I made last lynch cycle?

I'm also looking at Helios and his silent vote, and Mars. If it weren't for the Kevin Sorbo avatar, I'd have a very hard time telling Herc and Mars apart because of their similar game history and style.

However, if this ends up being a neck and neck race between Phoenix and Pandora, I'll vote for the latter because I'm starting to think that the SK is already dead and I don't see Phoenix as a baddie. I'm not so sure about Pandora though.

Some observations:

1. I think Medusa was civ. Chronos - not so sure, but more on the civ side.
2. I agree with Eros that Mars can't be ignored, and besides his defense of Herc, the two have had very similar playing styles.
3. I still don't think Phoenix is the serial killer. How crazy must you be to kill when all eyes are on you?
4. There's still that gut feeling about Apollo.
5. Pluto - I have no idea, the only thing that caught my attention so far was his post about him not being on the poll.
6. Low posters.:
a. Ares - sometimes pops in towards the end of the polls, has nothing to comment on, his last post was 4 days ago.
b. Electra and Helios - I see them both as Hinzelmann candidates. Again both show up from time to time, throw in a vote and before you know it we've got another kill. Electra has been a bit more active recently. Helios has been a bit defiant and he's also the lowest poster in the game, so I'm considering a vote for him today.

Linki - Ditto Eros, Vesta and Zeus

Voted lizard.

I also find Helios' behavior odd.

Can't stay any longer, meaning I have to vote now. So I'll stand by what I've said earlier.

That 'yet' can mean several things:

1. Pandora is a civ and that had to do with her then recent rebirth.
2. Baddie slip.
3. Pandora is a baddie, but that had to do with her then recent rebirth.
4. Pandora is an indie, but that had to do with her then recent rebirth.

So which one is it?

I've been busy as well. Can someone tell me what the case on Pandora is? I'm already familiar with the one on Phoenix.

Nice one, guys! Fat schizo behind a computer... I guess that's abs avatars for ya.

I had a cool supervisor from North Dakota once. Here's to you Sam! Plus, Enchanted Highway sounds like it's from a fairy tale.

So I've been going back and forth, yet again, and decided not to waste my vote since the case against Herc was pretty compelling. Sorry Hot Stuff!

linki Ares again last minute!
and Phoenix

Man, I haven't the foggiest. I still think Poseidon is fishy in more ways than one, then there's this weird Athena/Zeus combo, Apollo because of my gut feeling, Herc seems like another decent possibility, Phoenix -beats me and there's also something about Vesta that doesn't sit right with me.

Be my guest.

Athena wrote:

Apollo wrote:Right, so Zeus has given us nothing but his word to go on. My instinct is that he is a liar, one who saw the attention Eros was getting and wanted a piece of the action. Combined with my earlier suspicions, I think I will cast my vote for Athena today. I call your bluff, Zeus!

He is not lying. He has good reason to defend me.

I have answered anything brought up about me. And I'll say again, there really isn't a case against me as far as I've seen in the thread. There is evidence I'm not Hinzelman. That is true--I'm also not any other baddie. I survived a night kill--yes I did and yes I know how, and no I won't tell you. I've suspected and voted for other civvies--that is true. I was wrong about people (assuming their roles as revealed are accurate). I'm loud and stubborn about my suspicions--yes, yes I am.

Am I missing anything? Because all of that just describes the way I play the game.

I'm starting to believe you, which makes me even more confused. I won't let my guard down though.

1. Why is no one looking at Poseidon?
2. Thanks for the reply Zeus. "I cannot." More confusion.
3. I don't like the no you exchange between Zeus and Apollo.
4. The Phoenix theory seems plausible, but in this game so does everything else.
5. Now you guys are making me think about Herc. And I'm not talking about his abs either.

Zeus wrote:

Apollo wrote:

Chronos wrote: With that I'll either be voting Phoenix or Pandora.
I've still got my eye on Athena and Zeus... and Aphrodite, but she's insanified today, correct?

Correct. I had it down to Phoenix and Athena, but Pandora's latest exchange has put her into the mix as well, so it will be one of those three. I'll have to decide in the next three hours or so.

Athena is not bad.

You seem to know some stuff. Care to share?

Here are some thoughts:

1. I'm inclined to believe that what WJ is saying is true. Why? Because there are quite a few people here who have btsc and who obviously know more than the rest, while others have nothing to work with except this truckload of confusing posts and frankly, this is very frustrating. I could say unfair, but I guess that's part of the game. So with WJ this is an attempt to balance things a bit.
2. I was going to cut Athena some slack after Fortuna flipped civ but then there was this:

The civvie protector has protected noone

3. Same goes for Poseidon. I had a gut feeling about him, but nothing to work with because he is mostly absent. And there is also this:

Mr Town: Thinks ALL gods are just freaks with telepathy, he can protect himself or one member of his team each night from all blockable powers

4.

Pluto wrote:I don't seem to be on the poll today. So thank you Mr. Ibis for that!

Prometheus was definitely who he appeared to be

You know what my first thought was? You so knew you that you were not going to be on the poll AND why. I can't prove that unfortunately.
5.

There is at least one dead baddie

if this is true and the Communication role is what Medusa was implying, then either Persephone or Atlas are baddies. Or both. If not, any of the ones already dead could be bad.

I knew this was coming.

BTW, awesome flash mob vid!

I'll have some bourbon and some of the colonel's fried chicken to clear my head a bit.

Thank you Athena for your reply, but like you said, we all play the game differently and as far as baddies go, you are my best bet at the moment.

In an attempt to give Athena a chance to defend herself, here are my thoughts:

1. The Artemis episode was extremely confusing. I went back and forth on who was the non-civ in that equation because to me this was too elaborate to be a civ on civ dispute, and at one point I really thought there were two baddies involved. Artemis made a 'slip', which could have been completely plausible at the time, but that is not what made me suspect her, it was her very calm and calculated reply to Persephone's post. Athena on the other hand, has the "I know I'm a civ", "I'm just a civ' rhetoric which to me always sounds like baddies trying to convince themselves that they are civs.
2. Survived a night kill.
3. She has explained why she used the term 'curse' when people were talking about insanification in Arte's case, but I still get the feeling that she knew something the rest of us didn't.

This is the best I have so far, although I have to admit that Fortuna is in a similar situation:
1. 'I know I'm a civ which means that my defense attorney is also a civ.'
2. Managed to survive on day 3.

Fuck! I'm sorry! I did however manage to read that properly after your last post. I'll make the case soon and then crawl back under my rock.

Before I reiterate the case on Athena, I thought I'd give the big guy a chance to do it first.

Zeus wrote:That wouldn't be a good move.

Why would it be a good move to vote for Athena?

Nice. But I see you voted Artemis instead. Which I am glad for as I see no case against Athena.

But you do see it now. Why?

linki
Fortuna, I don't like the 'me, a civvie => my defender automatically a civvie' posts at all.

Ares, that was my intention as well, although I was surprised to see you finally make an appearance after such a long time. You only voted in the first poll.

MY BABY! Curse you Hades! Persephone! I'll find the culprits and make them pay!

So what's the deal with Aphrodite? I know who I'm looking at today. Unless something interesting shows up, I'll be voting for Athena.

Off to Cleveland. Brb

Arte!

Weird how many people decided to show up at the last minute.
