I will not be around for the last 3 hours of the lynch chatter, but I will be around for the next 7 hours....so let's do this. namean? Imagine a New York based rapper accent....im thinking like Raekwon or maybe the RZA.

My thoughts revolve around the presence of some kind of indy role. There are still ten of us. If there are three mafia (my assumption for a game this size) and an indy, then that still gives us one more day. Today is critical, however, in determining if the civvies will have a chance to win. In my mind, we’re screwed if this lynch goes wrong. I’m something of an optimist in real life but I’m a tin-foiling pessimist when it comes to mafia.

I am thinking g is right about ddl. I disagree with him on SVS, I think she is town, but ddl has felt off this whole game, none of his posts feel quite right and I think he is coming from a scummy place. Hope we get this right. [VOTE: ddl] aubergine. And I still would love some elaboration from sloonei about speed. I would be open to a speed vote if there is good reason.

I would have assumed 4 mafia, is the thing. But I guess a third party could explain things. Maybe even the extra kill.

reywaS wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 2:39 pm what does MYLO mean

Means you lose if you lynch the wrong person.

In other words, if you have 6 good and 4 bad... then lynch one good... you have 5 good 4 bad. After the nightkill, that's 4v4. Game over.

Usually hosts warn the players when we hit MYLO, so it looks like we're sitting at 3 scum.

I'm getting a civ vibe from kyle. Something about him contributing early which he doesn't do often. I called him civ for this last game and I was right.

Not sure how to read SVS, I don't think I've ever played with bad SVS before. She is a big neutral for me.

Reywas is just going full OMGUS this phase and I wanna double OMGUS him.

My vote stays on S~V~S to keep things spread out more. I support a DDL lynch too, I just find I can infer more from votes when they’re spread out more. Runaway trains stymie analysis.

SVS said something about not starting out vanilla, but she is now.

Yes becasue I used my civvie role power, I had a 2 shot power, and I used them the first two nights. They were not a kill or anything negative, lol. Do you have a question or just implying that I am now vanilla because I killed someone?

I am going to vote for DDL, I have had a long day at work and it's not over yet. I will be back before EOD, though.

This DDL lynch seems as 'easy' as every other lynch that's happened up till now. Sloonei's like, the only one trying to start up discussion and it's falling flat. Makes me nervous, like the flow of the thread is just gonna bury DDL and people are sitting back and letting it.

I agree. This sounds like the easy path to baddie victory.

[VOTE: Reywas] aubergine

I'll take the non-lazy option. At least there is some precedent to mafia faking meltdowns.

please do tell where was i faking a meltdown?

G-Man wrote: ↑Tue Feb 05, 2019 8:17 pm Meandering about town tonight for a few errands. If I die, you’ve got my spreadsheet to evaluate. You’re welcome.

If I live, I’ll expound upon the following points:

Dragon D. Luffy hasn’t triggered my usual auto-sus for him. For that reason, I suspect him. Many of his posts are short and to the point. There are just a few in his ISO of any considerable length. That suggests a cautious approach, which seems abnormal to me.

S~V~S is the opposite. She’s gotten a little explainy, a trait seen more often when she’s bad. She likes to shut people down by poking right back. She’s a slick, measured baddie, who can all but talk you into self-voting if you’re not careful. She’s not displaying busted SVS tone yet though. She dropped her suspicion of me too quickly and she’s come close to using her perceived expectations of others’ meta to plant seeds in the minds of others.

Kylemii is my weakest read of the three. I have two others in mind as alternates for the third baddie but I want to see if either of them die tonight, thereby helping me along the way.

Original DDL case stuff, from what I can tell. Everything else spawned from these points.

It's not great, but... at least there's a case?

[VOTE: reywas] aubergine again, I guess.

I took a glance at all the ISOs earlier and I came away feeling okay about DDL. He’s seemed to be actively making things happen this game. I’d expect scum to be playing more reactionary right now given the generally poor state of things for the Good Guys. Let us continue to lynch ourselves, and just give gentle nudges to keep us on the right (wrong) track. SVS is a player I could accuse of that, but I’m not so sure i want to vote for her. DDL is not. reywas feels like he’d fall into that criteria, but I mainly jus thave a vague gut feeling about him based on a snippets of things I’ve read.

Posted: **Wed Feb 06, 2019 6:51 pm**

I read that differently than you did, but this is a good point. I reread Nutella today and am leaning towards she was being framed.

I am not thrilled that he isn't here, but the DDL case is a lot vaguer.

The awards ceremony had truly become a bloody mess. Bodies were everywhere, and nobody seemed any the wiser about who would be so bent on ruining an otherwise glamorous night for the privileged famous people of Syndicate mafia. How positively ghastly. The presenters formed a circle around two and converged upon them in a kaleidoscope of glimmering gold watches, tuxedo bows, and glowing perfect teeth. One man didn't survive.

reywaS was lynched. He was:
