as I suspect some chicanery is afoot.

That chicancery would require the person having been silenced on Day 1 as well, which wouldn't be very probable.

My theory, as I said, is it's someone who has left on a partial-vacation and is only briefly checking in on games but I dunno if I can say more as not certain on rules about ID accusing and how it works on this.

hmm well then, shall we try for someone different?

If grey is silenced, then you'd be the prime suspect for putting on "pressure" since likely you'd have known to suggest him of all people. That'd likely point to you as the silencer or the silencer's cronie. Still, we have no proof, but we do know that you're active and willing to talk so I suggest we pressure you for info. Vote Pink

And before Inigo blows a gasket about me being a Hippo, grey was not killed and found to be townie so I am NOT doing what I accused you of earlier.

While I don't feel there is enough collective data to censure anyone at this point, I'd rather engage in open discourse with someone present and accounted for than attempt to "get blood from a stone."

Therefore I shall perhaps endanger myself and

Vote Beige

Who's recent (an unsubstantiated) admonition of Grey, I find to be dubious without further embellishment to support his position.

Furthermore, by his own words Beige utilizes an if/or statement:

Which I find hyperbolic at the least, and which has no grounding in any logic by my accounting.

Let it also be noted that Silver's response paralleled my own.

Maroon: I pulled that vote once I realized you were right. Yes, it was hyperbolic.

All my votes have been following the crowd at this point.

[beige]

Ought we not press for a lynch on somebody, rather than no lynch?

[red]

Yes.

I'd rather lynch Grey than lynch nobody, by far.

[beige]

We have about 35 minutes.

[pink]

Concurrence with Maroon. As to Silver, that's assuming he's silenced, and not merely away, it is approaching a holiday (for most of the people in this game)

A parlous action, to be sure, and yet with no better options in view I find myself unable to lay blame at your feet.

[pink]

Although with three people online, I don't see any results coming soon enough.

[red]

Well, Maroon.

I don't find it very hard to lay blame at your feet, as well as Silvers that we aren't going to have a lynch at all. I mean, if you want to put the fate of the game in the hands of a group of bad people, another bad person and a lone good person...I think that'd be a mistake.

[pink]

Well then, lynch or no lynch, if anyone thinks anyone seems suspicious, shout out, so that our investigative roles may help us tomorrow. I welcome anyone to investigate me, suspicious as I am, I am town.

[pink]

True Red, but I also don't blame them as much for derailing the lynch, because Grey did not have a chance? to defend himself.

[red]

What do you mean Grey didn't have a chance to defend himself? The whole point of lynching Grey is because over the course of 2 days, Grey has said nothing.

I'm most suspicious of Grey for not posting at all, Gold Brown Yellow and Torquoise for not posting at all, Maroon and Silver for refusing to lynch an inactive player and Pink for defending them.

Sure, that's half the game but I think that half is a good place to start, especially Grey, Maroon, Silver and Pink.

[pink]

Ah, I hadn't checked if he had posted or not. And when I said Grey hadn't ahd a chance to defend himself (there was a question mark) I wasn't sure if he was silenced or not, so I wasn't sure if he had had a chance to defend himself or not. I'm interested in why Grey takes precedence in your list over the other inactives, do you know something?

[silver]

In case I'm in time, change vote: grey

[silver]

This is my last check-in until probably Monday. I will be out of state. Until then, try not to lynch me for being quiet. Furthermore, try not to lynch me at all or at least look back over my hints first.

[red]

If I knew something, I'd either be pushing a lynch on him or keeping it to myself.

He takes precedence because he has zero posts next to 2 posts for the other 4 inactives and because he has 3 players defending him which is...odd.

[pink]

Enjoy your out of state-ness Silver.

[maroon]

I highly endorse any investigation of Grey.

Audit the restrained members of our community at night, and scrutinize the loquacious during the day.

Additionally, anyone who seems to be pushing for a lynch may be a good candidate to prey upon as well.

[red]

Yes, because not lynching anybody is a good strategy. Lets cast suspicion on anyone who would try to lynch anyone in addition to our suspicions of the players that won't lynch anyone and the players that won't post.

[pink]

Ah. I'm not defending him, I'm merely a proponent of being able to defend yourself. I'm sure you know what it's like to sign up for a mafia game, have a busy day at work, or be out of town for a couple days, and been lynched because of it. I merely stated that I understand Maroon's and Silver's logic. Fair enough, I hadn't checked post counts, I was wondering, now I have an answer.

[pink]

Also, I think you just don't read all of my posts. I said I don't blame them AS MUCH.

By lynching blind we may well be doing the enemies work ourselves. I'm all too aware that for evil to triumph good men must do nothing, and yet am torn about voting for a quiet person to give the opponent an extra advantage. I feel more can be learned when you lynch the garrulous players. I'd sooner lose two compatriots then mark my hands with a third.

That said and understood, Silver and Red are not exempt from my short list.

[pink]

I agree with your strategy, but it also provides us with valuable information, and a topic for discussion. We are bound to lose compatriots anyways, and no one will blame you for his death. Lynching the loquacious and garrulous will help the mafia more than lynching the quiescent, due to the lack of discussion, and the town's population will slowly erode.
