Me not really either. And I understand why have canals when you can have roads just a few miles farther in the first place.


According to Age of Empires II, Venice was founded by refugees from a Roman city (that started with "A") that was sacked by Attila, who were desperate to find a secure and defensible place to live.

...And now you know...

Am I the only one whose spidey sense is tingling when they read something like AND NOW YOU KNOW at the end of the post?

If you want to accuse me of signalling or something how about you just do that, rather doing the smoke and mirrors and "this is SOMEHOW SUSPICIOUS!!!1" bit?

remove vote

Since you bothered to show up.

Yes, I too am feeling let down. Everyone else should post more and better!

@ Bendal: Regarding your case...it's about possible signalling, which I never have the hots for, simply because I'd never do it myself.


I don't do it either, but the fact remains that some people are doing it all the time. I don't know how often they're caught doing it, but I'd pretty much expect to be caught if I did do it. So I don't.


}Now you know" seems particularly cryptic to be taken for a signal, but Liosan never said he read it as a signal, just something that made his "spidey Senses tingle." Mockra said Liosan was seeing a signal that wasn't there. So just maybe - it was.

Vote Mockra


I'm still not sure what was Arantha reying to achieve here but it looks like he meant it as serious vote at the time. I don't think the fuckup was feigned here and therefore is even less likely to be distancing as a killer would be careful when talking about another killer

Vote Telas


This is pre lover reveal.im trying to read between the lines and im thinking Telas is joking around because there is no substance. Just gut.

There was no traction towards aranatha so it was safe.

Then when there was traction he wasnt around. He couldnt have stopped it if he tried.

My point being he had no reason to vote Aranata but was right. If heisnt Aranathas partner then he is very lucky to have picked scum out of a hat.

look I've made my case on bendal and Mockra and to a wasted extent on Lio.

I was gonna add earlier Bendal CI's Lio and telas. Lio looked like the likelier killer to me.

That's pretty much all I've got. I'm gonna take a backseat from here.

So you have no opinion on Telas?

His play is consistent if somewhat unconventional. Were I to pick one out of the four of us for CI I'd go with Telas.

That's why I thought Bendal was symping Lio. the other option, Bendal symping Telas is far fetched. see thread long Arathan/Telas speculation for my reasoning.
I'ts an option but that level of commitment just doesn't read as an act. That's just my opinion though and its open to revision later on in the day.


I'm waiting to hear from Kesso and Gait before landing my vote.

Will be on for another hour or two before bed.

Telas goes for the same scum "tell" every time, though. So I can't interpret that "coincidence" against him.

What Aranathawas doing at any point is a mystery to me.

So ruling out Mockra for the vote quoted above and Serc for missing the NA that'd leave me Bendal and Telas
Telas is probably not a symp. If Bendal was symp that'd rule him out of being killer and would then have to be Telas's symp following this logic which is he probably not.

So most likely BH/Telas the killer with Serc/Mockra the symp

What do you mean? The last time Telas was scum he did have vague summaries towards nd of day and vote with the pack so I do not see him scum if he is following same pattern.

Logic to me dictates that Serc is the other killer. He did not vote Aranatha and he was never suspicious towards him. I would like to look at him further but im not at a computer. Someone else look at Sercs response to Aranatha pressute throughout the game?

Im not dismissing Telas btw.

What I meant was "his vote on people he thinks are scum are based on the suspects doing the same thing" - the "tell", so to say.

So in those terms, he's consistent.

excellent to drive past (or in this case float.)

I loved James bond set in Venice, That was loads of fun. The chair with a hole scene? OUCH! The mind recoils at the thought. :p


Possible Serc signalling Mockra.


(Im reading ip once again)

@gait

You mentioned Aras vote of Mockra but do you not think it as strange he voted Mockra not you? He was accusing Mockra of signalling so should have voted the "master" but did not. He voted Mockra. Why would anyone follow that vote/case and lynch Mockra?

In fact Serc as a symp could fit. Looky here. He quotes Mockra and Aranatha one after the other and uses what is in their text but when he comes to me he acts clueless and asks a question.

Omtose because they're a low poster? I think Bendal's trying to get this party started. The question is, why does Aranatha care?


Liosan hasn't posted at all, so Omtose isn't the lowest poster. If I "cared" I would have added a vote of my own, one way or the other.

Simpsons movie reference aside, Liosan really would make more sense for a low-poster hunt having not joined in yet. What's the thinking there Bendal?



Ok Serc backing up Aranatha about my voting of Omtose not of Liosan. Mockra in the mix.


Then when Telas votes Aranatha for the first time.. Mockra votes Liosan, the very person both Aranatha and Serc mention.

It looks like he thought symp would cf as symp or something, and claimed that he thought the signal didn't neccesarily have to be aimed at me. But it's true he might have been aware what a bullshit was what he claimed.

You hammered.

a hammer with the clock running down on you is a pressured situation. say you're scum? this is a vote on either your master or your ally. If you're off the train as in my shoes you look scummy. as the last surviving killer you CANNOT afford that level of scrutiny. so what do you do with your partner on L-1? you Hammer.

In your case not only do you hammer you word it as loyalty to CI as you vote.

to me that distances you from the situation and couples you with Kessos guidance.

Very weird. Guess LB hit some tech issues?

Speaking of which hey Lio, 'sup. Good to have you in on the game.


Well reading up I'm interested in several people.


Aranatha has had plenty of pressure day 1 but in general I'm not sure on what grounds. Sorting through a few posts there seems to be alot of different agendas there?

In one situation we had Kesso curious about Aranathas reaction to Omtose, something like "hey why is Aranatha defending Omtose?" Then Telas arguing Aranatha is scummy because he made a snappy reply when holding back a vote. Both Kesso and Telas riled Aranatha up, baiting.

I'm not seeing the substance to this. if anything I just see the two working together trying to see what sticks.

Then there's that vote on Gait. I got the case built up on Kadagar. I'd say we had lazier votes, mine wasn't exactly stellar but I see what Gait was driving at.
Liosan made some strange stretches on Gait. I was pretty sure Mockra made more sense but then Mockra explained it so...yeah. :p

Kesso, I'm surprised to see, was on the Omtose lynch train, Seemed negative when I was on, focused on the whole Aranatha bit. not really clear what changed his mind?

Well those are my thoughts, off to work. Might pop back in around lunch time.

Cheers.


This post by Serc vindicating Aranatha and being fabourable to Mockra.

@ work, having gotten decent amount of sleep, and I can feel the blessed caffeine seeping through my system, getting shit in gear. Have to be productive fo work but should have some time to play.

having re-read the whole of 3 pages we have, really not liking Lio atm. He's posted 3 quotes by Aranatha,presenting them as "consecutive", omitting at least as many in his back and forth with Kesso. If that's not strawmanning, I don't know what is.

Couple that with his "signal-fishing" yesterday against me (pet peeve: I hate the "well, X feels scummy, but I don't know why" posts. In my experience, people tend to make those accusations for a few days, and then start screaming bloody murder that X is scum because they're too "smooth under all that pressure".), and he's looking quite shady in my books.



This case on Lio because he disliked Aranatha.
