I'm going to toss a vote at Alvron. He was lurking a lot in the previous game, but didn't seem to post much (but still a fair bit more than I remember him doing in LG21, though, which is strange.)

Um, I wasn't in the last game. (QF16)  Or the one before that. (MR14)  LG20 and LG21 were the last two games I've played.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that Alv is:

a) not revealing as much information as I'd like him to by keeping his cards close to his hand, and

You going to do the same and reveal everything you know?

1. Sorry, I should have clarified. By last game, I meant the last game you played, which was LG21.

2. Well, I'm revealing who I'm suspicious of, at least. Do you have any alternatives?

1: But you said I was lurking more in the previous game but posted more than I did in LG21 so it couldn't have been LG21 you were referring to.

2. I have a few suspicions but I'm still working through if they are faction based or eliminator based.

[Young Bard he/him]

1. Wait...

*doof* I meant in the previous round. Sorry for the confusion. I'm fixing silly errors now. It also helps to look at your old post when you're talking about them.

2. Care to elaborate? (On names, I mean. I know what you're trying to say.)

1. No worries.

2. Nope. Any names I reveal will obviously be those from Factions other than my own.  As you said, I like to keep my cards close to my chest.  At least until I have something solid to go on.

Edit:  Actually, I would like to point out a problem with your argument.  You say I'm lurking more this game and posting more than LG21 so I'm suspicious but in the last game I was an eliminator.  Odium in fact.  So shouldn't my change in style be something that makes me less suspicious?

That's something I do take after you on. 

So, Venture and Lekal have 6 Koloss each. At least, before they bought any last night. Do with that what you will.

Normally, yes. But a team-mate I spoke to said that in LG21 you were posting your usual amount and are posting more than usual this game, instead of the posting less than usual in LG21 to your usual.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. 

(Addressing the below quote, which I don't want to bother moving) Alvron usually lurks a lot. In fact, if you go to his profile, you'll see an Elbereth description explaining why his lurking makes him dangerous. He's more active now, but that's probably just for the boxings.

b ) bucking his own personal trend by being strangely active.

Some of my faction-mates I spoke to also agree that Alv has been acting a little suspiciously, before I actually asked them about it. The fact that we both saw it separately makes me more confident in my own assessment.

Plus, Alv has a reputation for a reason. He's a very skilled player, and I don't want him working against me, which I think 3/4 of the players will agree with me on.

Except of course that you don't get additional boxings after the first post (unless you vote).

Also, does that mean you're going to green out your vote on me?

*Sigh.* You noticed... Bard.

Sadly, that part got deleted when the new website went up.  The reason I'm lurking more is that Kipper is playing this game and I want to make sure his posts are approved as soon as possible so if he votes no one will miss it.

Has your teammate seen how often I post in a faction game?

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

I would say that we should lynch Alv purely based off of the fact that he's evil so often, but I think I might actually have a higher percentage of being evil, so...yeah, not gonna go down that train of thought. >>

Anyways, I'm gonna work on doing some analysis of stuff tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get up a suspect list, if I've got the time. Maybe even a complete player list analysis. Depends on how lazy I feel tomorrow I guess.  For now, I'll put a vote on Joe. I don't remember what it was, but something you said earlier sounded kinda fishy to me. Or maybe it was just a gut thing. *shrugs*

Alv has been evil 30%, you are at 36%.

I think you're bluffing. This seems very the last faction game I played, when someone announced the team lists to see who defended it and who thought it looked accurate. Was that you? I think it was either you or Meta. 

And for Alvron being more active than usual, I would probably just put it up to there being coin to encourage posting and voting. 

And I'll do a poke vote. Burnt. What are your opinions? Anyone you're suspicious of?

Go ahead and think that. I did do that in MR10, yes, but this is different. If you know me, you know I'd support buying and using quite a few kandra. Thus, my numbers are accurate. I can prove this unlike a faction list.

Suspicions? Anyone who isnt a faction mate. 

Opinions? About what? Pringles? I love pringles. So yummy. Though currently my pringles box is filled with french fries. Cause can. I can also talk about my opinion on all things glittery and Caffeinated  if youd like? Though perhaps you are refering to game relevant opinions yes?

Well. I do have an opinion about one player. I have an opinion about one of my faction mates who hasnt even entered our faction doc yet. @Straw why the inactivity? You've only posted once this game and that was for a random vote for the boxings, which is very nice of you, but we'd kinda appreciate at least some form of appearance in the doc or at least and explanation as to why you haven't shown up. 

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Ouch. Sorry, Burnt and her faction. That's rough. I don't mean to laugh, but I already did. take my condolences: Straw. 

[Straw he/him]

Sorry, about my inactivity. My computer has been broken and I'm busy. I can't seem to get the google docs app to work. I am going somewhere for the Fourth of July and will be mostly inactive for that time. @Burnt Spaghetti I have no role. I have looked at the doc on the Google docs mobile site so I know who my teammates are.

Alright, thanks for the explanation. At least now we know that you are around

So you can view but not edit right? If at any time you need to talk to us and can't get to the doc, do something like what bugsy did initially with his faction, which is, encode your message using a one time pad with the cipher being the docs link address, starting after the document/ and finishing before the /edit (or it can be something else- thats just what he did. But make sure its something that only our faction would know. And then give us a reference as to what it is). That way, only our faction will be able to decode it and we can respond to it in the doc for you to see.

[phattemer]

Well, my faction didn't attack Penrod. Did anyone's?

Sure thing. Won't help much, though. Now it's possible to break, but I rather doubt that you have enough time to guess and check some couple billion keys

So, the thing is, it's a lot easier than that. You just turned it into into a Vigenere. Anyways, I have a request. Encrypt abcdefghijklmonqrstuv for me. Thank you!

My faction attacked Lekal with a Koloss, and based on Kandra information, they have 5 left, which means that they maxed out their boxings. We did not attack Penrod. Just wait until next cycle.  You're all getting hit. Can't wait to see the reactions when your Koloss armies go down by a third each.

Edit: Aman(da). I'll be interested to see how you try to manipulate your way out of this vote by using appeal to emotion, or perhaps some long and complicated "vote for this person that's not me because we'll learn SO MUCH" strategy.
