I still don't know your intentions with me last night. This morning started I was very suspicious of you, and knowing my safety the fact that -nothing- happened is not a suprise to me. I came out this morning curious to how you would defend yourself to that. I didn't even know you had a bigger issue on your hands to defend yourself to today. I can buy that you have a public role and a private role. Even with that information, you seemed to have been a busy bee last night. You are the line that connects all of the dots, and that is why I am secure in choosing you first in the 50/50. |

Alan, I'm very disappointed that you can't vouch for me after last night. My PM let me know that I definitely could count you among the devout in our Council and left me feeling very strongly about your loyalties. I would have expected some level of reciprocity in the PM messages that I guess wasn't there.

Well.. if he is a bad guy, and does have a public role and a private role.. I am guessing he was using his public role to size me up and determine what type of threat I was going to be to him since I likely would be pushing him again day 2. If for whatever chance he is a good guy, I think he was trying to confirm what I said yesterday that I am among the few devout who shall go down fighting for our belief. I baited hoops alot today not knowing who his third party was, hoping he would point at someone who I have 100% trust in.. but unfortunatly he pointed at Fouts who I have no outside knowledge of. So while it set us up in a 50/50 here, its not as damning to me as it would have been if he pointed someone I trusted completely out. |

Furthermore, there is no line between our communication and the encounter with Fouts/Swaggs. Any attempts to make one are just helping you make a wrong decision.

I had nothing but complete and total neutrality in the message I received. In fact it was so neutral that I sent a PM back before you even showed up this morning asking for clarification. I still never received any further feeling one way or another so to me it was left intentionally neutral. |

First thing this morning after reading my PM I assumed he failed to convert me. Then as the day progressed I have more of a feeling he was trying to scan me (to determine my corruptibility) |

Have I somehow lost points with non-Orzhov here for not making my accusation and disappearing for hours at a time like Fouts has?
KWhit basically issued a hit-and-run vote on me. At least Fouts had some reason to do so ... getting in the middle of the discussion between Swaggs and I was not going to help him out at all. Saldana has basically acknowledged that my actions are consistent with a powerful role in the game - although I would argue that my role is not terribly powerful. At least Cronin, Swaggs, and AlanT appear to be at least considering the options while casting their votes. If I'm going to be voted off the island, I at least appreciate them going through the effort of trying to make sense of the game. And half of our players haven't even bothered to make an appearance - stuff like that sours me on the game every once in awhile. |

I stand by my assertion that there could be 0, 1, or 2 bad guys. I think it's possible for Fouts to be telling the truth and Hoops to still be innocent. Not likely, which is why my vote is where it is, but possible.
I also think that Hoops is likely limited to one "evil" action at most. So I would have to think his action with Alan is either neutral or good if we're going to believe that he was trying to kill Fouts. Alternatively we can believe that his action with Alan was evil, but then Fouts' is likely fully of it. |

Alan, if I was looking to corrupt someone, why would I choose the one person who said on Day 1 "I can't be bribed?"
Wouldn't there be about ten better candidates to approach? |

I actually never said that on day 1. I did that on purpose to see what happened from it. I knew I couldnt be harmed or affected at night, so was trying to see if I could attract someone. It was St.cronin who said he couldn't be bribed. I think all I said was there were very few of the faithful left. if I ever did mention that I couldn't be affected at night yesterday then I slipped up because my intention was to try to draw company. |

Ok here's what I need to believe you hoops: Something that unifies your public and "private" role's actions. It seems to me that things are very much interconnected in this game, though the connections aren't always clear to those on the outside. What's your story, so to speak?

Right, and the fact that you were one of the faithful was what drew me to you. Not some attempt to corrupt you.
I apologize for mistaking "bribe" with "faith" although you have been attacking me over the bribery angle for the past two days so I think it is a logical mistake here as I'm getting agitated about our bad play. The point stands - there were plenty of better targets than you if I was looking for someone weak to try and corrupt. Which I wasn't - I was trying to mutually build a circle of trust that is clearly only going one way. |

I'm still kinda of split between my day 1 vote (fouts), the person everyone jumped off of at the last moment yesterday (saldana), and the new "best choice" (hoops) so I'm still going to wait a little bit to vote since my home improvement project took a little longer than expected (i am not mr Fix-it)

hoops, if things don't change at the last minute, will you do a full reveal, so that we may know how useful you will be as a ghost?

Hoops you started off the day very suspicious to me, but I think I am coming around to, if not your point of view exactly, then certainly not seeing you as a complete liar. A few questions Hoops vs Swaggs: Swagg, you sound very powerful. Could you have harmed Hoops if you wanted to? To me it could have been that Hoops was activel trying to harm Swaggs, but as he is not powerful enough he couldn't and that Swaggs was just blocking him off. Makes sense with Swaggs' 'battle of wills' perception. Fouts: Do you 100% know that Hoops was intending to kill you? If so, how did you get this information? |

Barkeep, there really is no consistency between my public and private roles. In fact, I have concerns about my private role becoming a liability to our cause later in the game.
I have learned through the church that there is a clan called the Gruul who resent our power and prestige and want to tear down our society and plunge us into lawlessness. But from their description, it doesn't sound like bribery would be their method of doing so. They seem more of a murderous/pillaging kind of group. I am seeking them out during the night phase; if I fail to locate them quickly enough I expect that they will somehow be able to exploit me. I don't know how, but don't have any reason to believe it is through my public role. This is why I said that I may be a better candidate to die than a random player at this point in the game. But I don't think we are faced with that choice - I'm pretty certain that Fouts is an enemy despite not getting word on my scan (to determine if he was Gruul) because of the interruption. The fact that he accused me and another silenced me today makes me believe he is working in concert with others. |

Swaggs, Post #426 is essentially a reveal so I would expect you could use this if I'm a ghost.
If Saldana is playing on our side, I would hope he could confirm the existence of the Gruul in this universe. |

Tanglewood, I wouldn't count on getting any information from Fouts before the deadline. He has basically clammed up - only way I think you will see him is if he suddenly gets some votes.
Then we may lose our "Guest" viewing the thread and get to see some late fireworks. |

To those who had bribery mentioned in their PM (I did not), did it explicitly mention monetary bribery or was it a more general true to the cause concept? I think that the initial assumption may have been made it was monetary but in light of Hoops' statement that may be incorrect.

At this point I am much closer to voting for him than you. A longshot, but perhaps Fouts has been silenced? Could be possible. Fouts senses Hoops sneaking around near him, assumes he wants to kill him, makes post about it then gets silenced by a bad guy late on incase he starts doubting. |

Regardless of who goes down tonight, I reccommend that they make a full role reveal just at the deadline. It's a shame Blade couldn't (partially because it was tied so late on), but seeing as Ghoss can't reveal but can still communicate I think that it would be valuable for a good guy to do so.

I don't know anything about "true to the cause" but bribery does not involve money, and it does not involve magic. Or at least, it involves more than that. I think I am not allowed to get more specific. |

Tangle, I am honestly not sure whether or not I could have harmed him. If so, it was not my intention last night. I believe I described my magical ability as modest yesterday, but it was made clear to me last night that I have the ability to match up pretty well with just about anyone. And it seems that was apparent to hoops, as well.
As far as the question of whether or not my magic was defense, I think that is possible, but I don't feel like it was in defense to an attack. More like I happened to get in the way of something and it resulted into a sort of stalemate and then died down. |

I'm trying carefully to dance around the PM here, but I was warned that it was imperative that I locate the enemy quickly before they had leverage over me.
As the Religious leader of our order, I have every reason to believe my faith is strong. I have little fear of the Dimir trying to turn me. But the Gruul, for reasons unclear to me, pose a threat as the game advances. |

Vote Fouts I'm sticking with my day 1 vote and following our fearless leader (cronin). I wish i'd be around to see the results but I won't as my gf will be pissed if I don't get lol. All 3 of the people I mentioned in my post a little while ago are still suspicious to me but I'll stick with my vote from yesterday. |
