The Syndicate

If someone is lynched anyway, then all of us will basically be putting ourselves out there. I haven't decide yet whether I am willing to take that risk, because dying is losing for some of us at least. Of course if someone makes a Gin and Tonic at the After-party the way I like, then maybe I'd get over it.

votes Nev

S~V~S wrote:Also, I am not interested in lynching people if they are not a threat to me. Nev, after I basically said this, made a direct threat to me, which makes me think I can help him out with a vote.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Crap. This is tough. Yet again I feel I'm in a similar situation.

Now I realize the win conditions and roles are weird here, but I just can't get past the self-voting. Any baddie can do this in any game, especially in a game where the setup is strange and take advantage of people being rationally cautious, and continually avoid getting lynched due to a balls-to-the-wall approach. I realize there's a theory about insanity, but Nev has been saying for multiple day periods now what he has been regarding his win condition. The truth is that he voted Snow on D1, offering that Snow vote him in return, and then now he's gone off and voted for himself.

I'm contemplating that Snow and Nev could possibly have BTSC and be the Grady twins. Would make sense, wouldn't it? Not sure of that at all though. Given it's difficult to sense anyone else's intentions, and even though there is a possibility Nev might actually benefit from votes, there is always technically a possibility for something like that in a game with secrets. I wasn't sure I bought it with Snow Dog and I'm not sure I buy it now. I know for sure my win condition is NOTHING like that, and I don't see any role other than maybe the hotel that would benefit from something like that. Why would Nev do this perhaps? Well, another possibility is that he sees Snow Dog has survived twice now and seems a bit smug, so maybe he sees that it's an effective strategy. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, it doesn't change the fact that self-voting literally gets the civvie cause no better (even what weirdly constitutes a "civvie" cause in this game is STILL a civvie cause, of sorts), and especially now that it's Day 3, I find it a ridiculous civvie or baddie move regardless.

Add that I don't really have any reads on players due to the unconventional nature so far of this game and I wouldn't feel comfortable voting for Vomps, Bullz, or even Snow right now (though I might consider him second), or anyone else for that matter.

So... I guess I am voting Nevinera. With some hesitation... but I believe it's my best option given what's happened so far this day period and the previous two.

I will be back at some point tomorrow evening, whenever I can grab some internet.

MovingPictures07 wrote: Linki with Nev: True, I kind of forgot about that time limit. But wouldn't you think if all living players had compatible win conditions, they would all win automatically? Why just sit around and have everyone kill each other off?

MovingPictures07 wrote: Given Stephen King is gone and Jack is gone (and he presented some complications) and the game hasn't ended, it seems logical to me that the Gradies, Bartender, and maybe even the unlynchable role need to go. I think that seems sensible, don't you?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Why?

MovingPictures07 wrote: I do think Snow's self-vote was weird, but I can't make heads or tails of that right now at all. Why the hell would anyone want to even do that is beyond me.

Hedgeowl wrote:I am curious why Nev threw himself under the bus in his second post. Why do you want to be lynched?

Hedgeowl wrote:The Overlook cannot be lynched, so do you mean NK'd?

Hedgeowl wrote: This plan clearly didn't work. Forced Snow to try and tie the vote, which somehow protected him? Why would he vote for himself if he was unlynchable? Just to cast doubt?

S~V~S wrote:Well, I think that jacks insanity, for instance, would have ratcheted up once he met up with Grady. I am guessing they were potentially set to become the baddie team, perhaps. Again, I think this may be an affinity check.

You seemed to imply that you thought this was a negative power, and I am not sure why that would be. Can you tell me what I am missing?

Each night, can check a player's sanity level and PM that info to one person

Can talk to Tony each night.

Nevinera 7
Bullzeye 8
vompetti 9

All have twice as many posts than BWT though.

Snow Dog wrote: Someone might get hurt.

Why don't we just get along? No one gets lynched, nobody sends in Night kills. Peace and harmony.
Then we can concentrate on our grammar more.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I'd much rather vote for the lowest poster than for Epig being a grammar Nazi, even though it is annoying. :P

Not sure I'll do that though. However, I will have to vote either tonight or tomorrow morning before work, as I won't be back in time.
