    Mhm. But if we accurately hit e!Xino now, we can go into C5 being able to narrow down suspects based on who voted Fifth and who voted Nerdy. I don't think we're easily going to find the mastermind by picking at each other before that, and it's not like Nerdy is making these careful decisions either. It's post like these that make me worry about a Stick/Xino world xD
  2. Amanuensis
    Yup. I feel like we need to crack the Xino nut to figure out why there was so much activity C2. I guess Nerdy almost makes more sense because C3 was kinda dead with Xino up again, but who's on Nerdy's team? Do we think Nerdy killed JNV, Wizard, then Devo? Someone who knows the players well is making these kills. ED1T: Oh and what was the AG2 set-up, I'm not familiar @Kasimir
  3. Amanuensis
    Idk. I kinda stan Nerdy tbh. Compare their two posts today to Xino's one. Unlike the previous cycles, they don't just snap-vote someone. I'm kind of reading this as a new villager getting their feet under them. Meanwhile, Xino has a blatant careless filter dodge. ED1T: (2) TUN: Kas, Mat(t), (2) Nerdy: Stick, Xino, (1) Xino: Aman,
  4. Amanuensis
    Since there's no point in a self-vote now, Xino.
  5. Amanuensis
    Honestly, I wouldn't ask me. I keep bumping my head against a world I'm not yet ready to consider. Really, I still am wholly convinced in e!Xino. I posted yesterday that when he was in a 2-2-1 with him, Silver, and Nerdy, Xino put Nerdy up to two votes instead of putting Silver to three. You can argue Xino's vote was just a lazy OMGUS, but he never even bothered to challenge Nerdy from there. IMO I think he just didn't vote Silver because they're partnered, which is a huge flip because it probably tells us Nerdy is Village and a player who snap voted Fifth yesterday is probably an elim too. I don't see v!Xino being this detached by C4. ED1T: Why do you prefer Nerdy to Xino?
  6. Amanuensis
    I am lost boy. Regarding TUN: Idk that's my take
  7. Amanuensis
    Mat/Xino is sane imo, much in the same way Mat/Silver makes sense. It's been on the back of my mind for a while. Reading Mat in a vacuum, I do find it hard to believe he's an elim tho. I've been in some extremely tilting tunnels in the past that I feel Mat's D3 push of me had a lot of parallels to. I don't really think e!Mat could fake something like that. Wow if so. Right now I'm thinking about the Devotary kill. I kinda don't see a world in which she gave away being IC in the Wiznik doc? But at the same time, if the elims had no idea and got lucky, why Devo? Why not Stick, Kas, or Hael? Why not a lower active to keep more paranoia afloat? ED1T: TBH Xino works on a lot of teams. Xino/Mat. Xino/Stick. Xino/Hael. Xino/Aman, technically. I do regret not using my vote on Xino yesterday, but at the same time I was expecting D3 EoD to have more... action? Fifth at the end kinda just vanished. FeelsBadMan. Now that I think about it, Mat would have to be the Xino partner, I believe, or else Xino is probably just village? After losing Silver, surely the active elim wouldn't let another partner die? @Kasimir ED2T: Blegh. I hate that the PoE I need to solve is now <Kas, Stick, Hael, Mat>. I village read all of you, darn it! I am offend! ED3T: Gun to my head? I want to say e!Hael. Maybe he didn't think he put Silver in too much danger originally or was content to bus for long-term trust? Idk if that's just because I want to trust Kas, Stick, and Mat more, tho
  8. Amanuensis
    Sounds good! Get some rest.
  9. Amanuensis
    RIP =\ Resurfacing these posts because they're relevant. Emphasis mine. Aman. I'm happy to die if the village wishes, I only ask that you don't shut everything I say down immediately. ED1T: Since you're not moving the vote, can I ask who you think my partners could be?
  10. Amanuensis
    Unironically leaning village for this post. Specifically the comparisons between my D1 and D2 play. That said, @Fifth Scholar, what's stopping you from voting Xino at this juncture?
  11. Amanuensis
    I would be very surprised of e!Almond after this interaction, barring a bizzaro Stick/Almond world. Almond stonks are up!
  12. Amanuensis
    Oops. You’re right. Aman(3): Mat, Fifth, Aman, Fifth(4): TUN, Stick, Almond, Bookwyrm, Xino(2): Nerdy, Kas
  13. Amanuensis
    That makes sense too I’m more committed to an e!Xino World anyway, just felt those instances were worth drawing some attention. ED1T: @Fifth Scholar Aman(4): Mat, Fifth, Aman, Almond Fifth(3): TUN, Stick, Bookwyrm, Xino(2): Nerdy, Kas
  14. Amanuensis
    Okay so noting Fifth suggesting Nerdy over Xino after I flip. Also that his vote persists on me, which is fair given self preservation, but with the only alternative Kas offers is Xino, I do wonder if this is a rock and a hard place scenario. I’m aware this means E!Fifth voted on both his teammates before parking on me, probably for distancing purposes. He’d need to be very brazen to do that, but I don’t remember his e-play well enough to reason that possibility. ED1T: Tbh this could be read the opposite way, in that e!Fifth is pointing toward e!Nerdy for more time. Idk ED2T: Something else I’ve been wondering and waiting for someone to bring up. Why the Wizard kill? Who benefits from that most?
  15. Amanuensis
    For what it’s worth, I do feel I should be policy yeeted. I don’t feel comfortable that people have taken my side on this matter because of either self-vote quitting or going on ALL CAPS tangents when I’m trying to defend myself from suspicion, whether or not I feel it’s unreasonable. I should be able to divorce emotion from my posts. (On a side note, I’m beggining to question why self-voting is even allowed, but that’s a game meta discussion for another day / thread) I could honestly believe a perfect storm of v!Fifth chaos intersecting with my planning. By no means do I mean spare him too much scrutiny, but Xino seems just about guaranteed (as I pointed out, he gave Nerdy a second vote instead of giving Silver a 3rd, which if purely a self-pres vote, should have gone to Silver. Unless Xino and Silver were partnered. Xino had two votes at the time and never returned to see if he survived. As Kas and Fifth have already pointed out, 80% of Xino’s inactive games are when he’s elim.) From there you might be able to figure out Xino’s partner by who voted Fifth after my train lost momentum.

    +1 to killing me first. My ADHD Hyperfocus needs to be released (if it wasn't clear by the fact I keep coming back to post more -- don't want to waste the remaining time I have + literally cannot force myself to do anything else) Fifth, if you're actually Village, then I wish you and whoever else is still around tons of luck because I've not a clue who the higher-active elim would be. If you're elim, then well done the chaos you caused that EoD was beautiful. Just next time plz try not to kill me at the same time <3 To reiterate for the future, v!me =/= e!Nerdy. The only reason I voted Nerdy over Silver was to potentially scare Fifth + because Silver/Nerdy could have been partnered. Please consider Xino, Nerdy, Almond, and maybe Insanity + Bookwyrm, equally. While I did like Book's C2, I've found their C3 kinda at-a-distance, like they were worried about jumping on V!Aman too soon? I'm slightly worried about a Silver/Xino/Book/??? team.

    Re:Kas Re:Mat Mostly just wanted to reply to these two posts specifically to clear the air between us. That said, I did forget to actually mention who I suspect more between Xino and Nerdy, since I got distracted during their paragraph. TBH I'd always vote Xino first (not today, tomorrow, please yeet me today). Even if this is v!Xino disguising future e!Meta, C2 Xino immediately joined Mat on the Nerdy vote when Silver was currently in the lead. Meanwhile, Nerdy P1 voted Xino and kept it there for all of C2. Neither showed up for EoD, which leaves me to believe this is a case of e!Xino and not e!Nerdy. I feel like e!Nerdy would have been around for both EoDs.

    OK, actual final post because there's a few small things I forgot that I need to get off my chest. I'm so confused. Am I a good elim or not? Does good!elim!Aman make the obvious bad play? Do I basically pull a Hyena again, completely failing to have learned my lesson from that game? No, E!Aman hard busses inactive!E!Silver every single time. If I'm so bad to make this play, then what the heck are you so paranoid of me for? How does any of this line up with my behavior in LG91? Did e!Aman lose his cool when he received pressure? Did e!Aman "make excuses" or did he always have a pre-meditated explanation? Did e!Aman play intentionally obtuse, his cards close to his chest, so villagers had any room to question him? Or was he a more passive voter and constantly making his "opinions" freshly prepared for analysis? Or is the problem you expect v!Aman to write essays on his every trust and suspicion and never ever change his EoD votes because oh gosh v!Aman hates flashwagons and reaction tests while e!Aman loooooves drawing as much bad attention to himself as possible. Yeah... that checks out. My bad for questioning your air-shut case. Except... C2 P4+ Votes Revisted Start of P4 Silver (2): Stick, Kas Fifth (2): Aman, Mat Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond Mat switches to Nerdy Silver (2): Stick, Kas Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond Fifth (1): Aman, Nerdy (1): Mat, Xino votes Nerdy Silver (2): Stick, Kas Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond Nerdy (2): Mat, Xino, Fifth (1): Aman, I change my vote from Fifth to Devo, avoiding the triad entirely to prompt Devo to favor one of the wagons Silver (2): Stick, Kas Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond Nerdy (2): Mat, Xino, Devo (1): Aman, Stick proposes TUN shortly after, making the Silver wagon dissipate Nerdy (2): Mat, Xino, Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond, Silver (1): Kas, Devo (1): Aman, TUN (1): Stick, Bookwyrm votes Nerdy, putting Nerdy in the lead. Silver is no longer viable. Nerdy (3): Mat, Xino, Bookwyrm, Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond, Silver (1): Kas, Devo (1): Aman, TUN (1): Stick, Wizard votes Silver, making them viable again Nerdy (3): Mat, Xino, Bookwyrm, Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond, Silver (2): Kas, Wizard, Devo (1): Aman, TUN (1): Stick, And then I tie Silver with Nerdy. Nerdy (3): Mat, Xino, Bookwyrm, Silver (3): Kas, Wizard, Aman, Xino (2): Nerdy, Almond, Devo (1): Aman, TUN (1): Stick, I don't vote Xino when it was a viable third option. I don't vote Nerdy (weird, given you're convinced e!Silver = v!Nerdy). No. I put Silver back into a tie. Not for a couple minutes at EoD. FOR HOURS. Please for the love of God, someone explain why e!Aman doesn't let e!Silver fizzle out by nudging people elsewhere? Why do I make them viable again when I had so many other options? If my plan was always to bus Silver, then why the heck would I last minute save them??? Okay now I'm done. Byeee

    Rules for Reading this Post: Please do not get offended. I am upset and that is clear. However, I do not harbor any ill will toward anyone in the game. I do not take this personally. I am just frustrated with this constantly repeating scenario and I'm attempting to deal with it in the most healthy way I can. Please do not read this post if you aren't willing to consider v!me. If you do read it, read it again after my flip to refresh your memory. If you don't, definitely read it after my flip. Please do not respond to this post. I'm logging out as soon as I send it and I am not logging back in until I'm dead. Call it a rage quit. Call it a protest. IRDC. Just do not waste any more time on my slot. Reads: Read this next bit post-mortem if you care why I consider myself the most responsible for Silver’s yeet being a success. You'll only be wasting your time if you're 100% convinced of E!Me, so please, just vote me out and move on otherwise. Aman. Good luck Village o7 I'll be rooting for you.
  20. Amanuensis
    Aman. Good luck Village o7 I got my one.
  21. Amanuensis
    To clarify, I strongly feel I'm more responsible for the Silver yeet than most. I deliberately kept it in the lead until the end to bait Silver's teammates. Me as early as 8 hours ago, when only Stick and you were voting Silver: Stick eventually unvotes Silver, but then Wizard joins you: Not long after, I add the third vote and keep it there until the very end, when Fifth came swinging at everyone but Nerdy: Look how long it stuck: Bonus Extra Mat-Silver connections: This post came only when Stick and Kas were voting them. Protective from the start, eh? More protective of Silver than their v!read Danex or Kas? I don't buy it. Weird how Nerdy and I were Mat's sus' over Silver.
  22. Amanuensis
    I did not make a case for Nerdy. I was perfectly happy on Silver until Fifth came in and voted Silver, then voted Xino, then attempted to get either Hael or myself voted out. I only swapped to Nerdy to see how Fifth would react, then both Stick and you voted for Silver so I felt no need to vote Silver again.
  23. Amanuensis
    Matrim. There's a remarkable difference between your behavior D1 EoD (when the votes were between v!Danex and Kas, who I presume you v!read at the time as well) and whatever your D2 EoD was. You called the Danex yeet bad but never called anyone to action or pushed an alternative. You did, however, do that when Silver was in danger. In danger specifically because of me. I put Silver in the lead above Nerdy and Xino. See my reasoning. This drew Devo to the same train, at which point you were voting Nerdy. You cast doubt on Wizard that you can't explain and reiterate your paranoia of me. Discrediting two players voting Silver? This is clearly an unwarranted defense and I rightly called you out on it. You didn't fight this hard for a village read and Kas on D1. Why did you feel so strongly to fight against Silver? I repeat my point against Silver and you for Kas, who just re-entered thread. Does this spook you enough to jump on my train? Well the thing you didn't like was me voting an elim. Now you're trying to spin it on me? You're going to have to walk me through on how Silver and I are teamed, cause I feel that's a huge stretch considering everything above.
  24. Amanuensis
    @Kasimir how do you feel about a Silver, Mat, Fifth team?
  25. Amanuensis
    I'm astonished.
