Well, Tennes' CF was unexpected. That sucks.
That being said, for the rest of the people not in the mega-alliance, I still think it makes more sense to try to get alliance people lynched than it does to start culture hunting the GoB people. It's true, easier to make connections to me and Tennes given the information already on thread, but I still think it would be more beneficial to the non-alliance members if we can start whittling down members of the mega-alliance. If we can get rid of enough members of one of the alliance's factions, then maybe one of the alliance factions will be willing to break the alliance.
Now, obviously I am going to encourage anything but a GoB faction hunt, but I truly believe what I have said above. You whittle down the non-alliance members, you make it easier for the members of the alliance to win.

I'm here. Need to catch up. 4 days off of work really makes for a long busy Monday. I can't promise much today, but should be ready to roll tomorrow.

I do wonder how you people can PM bomb me up to 40 new messages yet post only 15 or so in thread....
What are you complaining about?
High number of PMs or low number of posts?
If it's the former,then nothing to do about it but the latter will not be an issue once we get rolling again.

Edit: Just to add, it's your own damn fault.

I don't really care at the moment. I'm having a cheesecake with a brownie bottom all to myself - I sometimes think my gf is actually trying to fatten me up for christmas.
Ummmm a tapper goose for christmas dinner.

Yeah that's kinda weird. Possibly Sorrit wanted to defend Tennes and then at the end made the weird Fener vote in a bid to make it look more like he was going for Fener than defending Tennes? But why push for Fener then rather than someone like Tellan who is a suspected Nepeth or HoA?
Alternative idea would be that Sorrit is not GoB but thought Tennes was the same faction as he and also has animosity to Fener's supposed faction. If he thought Fener was CoV this would put Sorrit as probably NP.

I'm not saying that you are incorrect. But I am pretty sure that he was bitter over his football loss.

That makes a lot more sense than any sort of mafia reasoning. Thanks!
No worries. He had a rough enough weekend with out being lynched just for being bitter.

There is also the non-culture hunt option of going for Telas, Fener or Spite in order to continue focusing them on doing nothing but obtaining worship, but I feel these are less likely to resolve into lynches.
I would be up for either. Going for a culture hunt might give us better results, but if we let those who we failed to lynch so far slip they will most likely not come up at lynch targets again until we are a lot more players down.

just about caught up now, i was hoping Tennes would be someone from the big alliance but i guess that cf seemed like a power role and removing those are probably useful.
At the moment i think we should go for people in the big alliance, so im going to
vote Atrahal
because as he is pushing for GoB lynches he is obviously in the big alliance as anyone else obviously doesnt want to lynch outside of that alliance.

Today is a pretty low-key day I guess. I think Silanah Sorrit and Tellan are the only ones who haven't checked back in yet since the big break so far.

What does "use 2 items for no effects" mean anyways? Do they get destroyed?

My day has gone to shit. I'm sticking with what I said over the weekend. I'm all for lynching Fener or if not forcing him to spend Worship saving his ass each and everyday until those that can kill get over to Mordor to stick a fork in him. I'm hoping to get some time tonight to get caught up.

Nope, they just don't produce effects. Essentially, it means "you must have 2 items and this phase, they are just being used for the quest".
