Kalse you have appealed to my human side, early in the game yes I posted a lot. Since Friday I held a lot back, then I got stuck into the game and was putting two and two together.
So because you annoyed the shit out of me for two weeks, which I broadcasted, which many of us verbally expressed and for which we were cheerfully ignored and I've more or less given up interest I should now forget because you now say you care? Really?

How would you feel if you are participating on thread but not being listened to,
Been there, done that - more particularly in the period when you were bullshitting. It didn't get me any sympathy: only retard comments, some "jokes", gifs, pictures and spam. You were at it yesterday still, swinging random posts online in quote blocks without any thought added. Yeah, you say you play now, but any second you'll probably revert to by posting more pictures of dogs and cats
because you are bored and think we're here to entertain you or because you think you are funny.
If you think my distaste is limited to this game and will disappear when the game is called and sign-ups are opened, then you underestimate how angry I am. I am not having much fun and the most severe damper on my potential to have fun is not the mechanics of the game but you and Tulas.
So when I talk about sympathy to help you win: I don't have any.
I'd rather be recruited and lose than help you win.

and people are just voting for you because they don't want to disrupt the factions that are forming?
Give me one example of a faction forming. What I see on thread is the people who (say they) need to escape, interacting with one another. You know why? Because we're not threats to one another and this is something that will probably work best if we do work together.
As for voting you: well, I won't vote for people who need to escape and for whom I can see that in the rules of the game (alphas, Marcone, Gard, probably Toot-Toot and the fairies). We may not be in the same faction but we have a symbiosis.
I could include Tulas in that group but I am not sure anyone particularly
wants to help him.
Then there's the group of other VCs:
- you who needs X specific people dead,
- Molly who needs to survive,
- the vampire who needs to do whatever (probably kill a few people)
- one or two other powerful people
If there is a cult, then I still haven't seen any evidence of it. I am also unclear as to its VC: last faction standing seems impossible.
I would also think that its main targets would be powerful playersl; not the Alphas, Marcone and co or the fairies.
As explained by some who can escape during the whole shenanigans with Tholen needing to be carried: some escapees can take people with them. So a cult leader would be fucked if his recruit was taken away from him because the person doing the carrying didn't know the other was recruited.

From a game point of view..
Kalse, Tennes and Telas have 3 votes.
I have 1 vote.
Togg and Tholen have 2 votes.
Tulas and Kedeviss have 2 votes but have been voting with Togg and Tholen.
Osseric and Korabas appear sporadically.
Khadagar is hardly here at all.
Tellan has 1 vote.
Khadagar is a replacement player who didn't sign up for the game but was called in. If they had the time to play, they'd have signed up.
As for the voting block.... it is not odd that the low-powered majority of players (in this case, the humans) control the vote.

I do not have to vote but my vote should be wanted by you because otherwise the redirect could fall your way.
Nice. "You could be lynched if I don't vote" combined with "so vote my way" makes for a logical appeal, really. But then, why would we use the instrument we have to turn it into your tool?
The main attempt to lynch you and Tulas is partly motivated by the hope that the will of the majority actually has value in this game, instead of making it another plaything of the guys who already hoard all the other power, which we would do if we bend to your wishes.
besides, when it comes to the random lynch: have you ever considered that P-S might call your number and send you to SH if there's no lynch?
Quote
So why vote for me? 5 days in a row.
Because people hope you somehow become vulnerable and then you are a better target to get rid of than anyone else.
Because the lynch is in mafia the way the powerless can exert some power to keep those who dominate the night with actions on their toes.
Because you don't share a VC with us, so there's no big interest in keeping you around.
Because nothing you've done so far helps us, so why should we help you?
Because you haven't exactly been a paragon of respect and friendly behavior this game - which, funnily enough, matters to some.
Quote
Now who is next? Do you really want the other faction around? We could lynch Tholen or Togg. The independents don't care. Tellan and Kedeviss could vote these two. Bang, we move forward.
Yet we are stuck voting for the unlynchable day in and day out and that occupies the thread. I thought the above analysis would be helpful but no one is using it, and we are stuck in a rut.
No,
you are stuck in a rut.
For those who need to escape, the game might progress still. The Maelstrom in the Underground Pool could end, we migth find the escape, anything can happen. Besides, you could easily replace your cavalier suggestion to off Tholen/Togg and get 'progress' to them with Telas, Tennes, myself or anyone else in it.
But the bottomline for the Cult, as far as I am concerned, is this.
If the Cult exists, by now, at night 5, recruitment would have hit a player who knew one or more people. That player would then have signalled the cult that there's other players on his team - that would make for easy recruits with a pre-existing structure and knowledge base, rather than random shots.
So, I believe that if there is a cult, then entire groups of players have been taken over. As such, I am not particularly bothered with it. My VC doesn't depend on me. The same will probably be true if I become Cult.
