"I agree GND has been acting strangely of late. My prime suspects would be him or Lotg, GND, for his lack of posts and need to defend himself, even though 50's post directed no accusation toward him. LotG for his rather silly incoherent voting, he is either one easily manipulated by group think(which is bad as he may be easily manipulated into voting for an innocent)or he is a stealer that is jumping on board of a vote bandwagon, or perhaps trying to start one."

OOC: Just thought I would say something like that rather than just put up another filler post.

**Fifty**

Well, I just want to say, I am still here!

I had had previous suspicions of gnd, and I am thinking back and considering them anew, in the light of all that has taken place since...

If I'm honest, many folk are acting peculiarly, far more than there are 'stealers in our midst.

GND is acting peculiar, and not just cos of his name. Plus our resident Spehss Comedio-Marine also...

I'm not sold on anyone yet though... Still got my eye on Dark_O

I don't mind that your suspicous of me, I don't mind really. The more you watch, the clearer things become. It's been working for me recently.

**Lord-Loss**

Someone is suspicous because of there name?.. Thats really, really weak. My suspicon of DLS has grown again.

**Gornall**

Meh... I think DLS was trying to make a funny.

lord loss get a senses of humor

**Gornall**

I looked back over Mekboy's post of votes, and unless I misread it, it seems like Rusty is a major bandwagon voter. Couple this with the fact that I just seem to be getting a bad vibe from him, and I have no choice but to Vote: RustyKnight.

Yes, because obviously I'm afraid of getting lynched...

When did I bandwagon? I voted for the_ferret because (as the majority agreed) he was acting excessively bizarre and scummy, switched to DLS after the_ferret tried to self-kill and to put more pressure on DLS (as both were close, but as long as the-ferret was L-1, DLS was rather secure), then switched back to the_ferret when he started acting scummy again. Three votes, especially three votes with valid reasoning, are hardly "major".

**Gornall**

All of those times you waited to move your vote after most everyone else had. Also, earlier, you did the same thing with DarkO. So all three major suspects on Day 1 you were placing late votes on them. That's why I think it is somewhat "bandwagonish".

**Fifty**

((Am here, but in too much agony with toothache to think of anything worth posting. Back soon))

**Gornall**

Guys... we don't have a lot of time left. We need to get some serious discussion going. I still think GND and Rusty are the two who I consider the biggest concerns, even though I think DarkO is not too far behind.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

"We are indeed losing day light gentlemen."I say glancing through the covering shroud of the above trees.

"I think we should each review the vox log(thread)once more, to see who in our minds acted in a suspicious manner. Perhaps we might find one or two new suspects or add to the suspicions we have for someone."

Nah, that was my answer to your question.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Oh forgive me then, but I thought our Marine friend was one of the more vocal.

**Lord-Loss**

This day has passed very quickly, I am now suspicous of Gornall, its more of a hunch but he seems to vote alot.

But I do think RustyKnight is the most suspicous at the moment. Vote:RustyKnight

**Gornall**

I wouldn't say I've voted a lot. I did switch my votes back and forth between DLS and Ferret in order to prevent early lynches and to try and coax Ferret into talking.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

at the moment I find rusty suspicious
but I don't think darkO is a genestealer

4 Days left until deadline...

**RustyKnight**

Vulkan, Lord-Loss, why do you two find me suspicious?

At Gornall; on the topic of bandwagoning. Unfortunately, I think zeal is blinding you. The entirety of your argument against me seems to be because of a trio of rapid vote changes. First voting for the_ferret, then switching to DLS, then switching back to the_ferret. The_ferret had been acting highly suspicious when I voted for him. To blame me for the_ferret's own mistakes is folly at best. Now, looking at the second vote, the one switching for DLS. Personally, I had dragged my feet about voting for DLS; I still thought that the_ferret was the better canidate. When I finally did switch my vote, I had two motivators; firstly, DLS did not look good, especially after the_ferret's attemted suicide (which I and others interpreted as a non-scummy move) and secondly, that evened out the vote balances. My vote took the_ferret away from the brink. How is trying to prolong the day phase scummy behavior? I only switched back to the_ferret after he continued to act scummy and DLS defended himself.

As to an early vote for Drk_o, it was my belief that it was relatively common to put a mid-sized number of votes on people in the early game to get them to talk/defend themselves.

It is only possible to gain a scummy reading from my votes at the end of yesterday if one completely ignores the context of the time and the reasoning behind the votes.

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

OOC: Wow, I didn't realise how slow this Day phase had been...

IC: We have three days left until Night Phase. We haven't had much to go off of during the current day phase, all we have is yesterday, and even then, there's very little left. We must listen to the voice of the Emperor, and act as he directs.

**SagesStone**

I guess seeing as it's getting close to the deadline I should probably cast my vote. However, I'm currently on the fence about whether to vote for GND of LoG. Both seem fairly suspicious for me (especially LoG's last vote)

Both have voted for someone for a reason that would work in the random voting phase, but only just work. However now that the game is in it's propper phase the votes seem to be almost made for no reason, or at least not very good reasons.

GND simply because he was voted against.
LoG at first it was a bandwagon vote by the looks of it then quickly covered with "Ohh, I forgot my reason!!
Gnd voted once yesterday. And was voted againist once. By 50. "

RustyKnight seems suspicous to some of them, but if you look at LoG's vote it comes straight after Rusty's vote for GND by saying "I feel like I should:
VOTE: ginger_nid_dude"

People have questioned LoG's reason for voting, but no one has questioned what motivated him to suddenly vote for the same person as Rusty and leave next to no reason. The "Ohh, I forgot my reason!!" and the reason being in the following post could be just a poor cover to the fact that he seemed to be following Rusty. In fact it might have been so bad that it turned out to be good as people questioned the reason and ignored his suspicious behaviour.

I guess then by that reasoning above that the best one of the two for me to vote for now would maybe be LoG.
Also has anyone noticed that the three most suspicious people are currently voting for the same person.
Starting with Drk_O's vote with its standard reason followed by progressivly worse reasons.

Therefore I guess I will VOTE: LoG for the rather suspicious pattern he seems to have made.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

rusty there no proff I have
its just a gut feeling thats why I didnt vote for you

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

n0t_u, while I agree I may not be voting for gnd for the greatest of reasons, but I disagree with you when you said

I don't particularly think lotg is actually that clever to have done so on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I still think he is the second most suspicious person to me, but it's because he keeps falling flat on what used to be his face so often.

Right now, I'm 51-49% torn between gnd and lotg respectively.

**SagesStone**

I never said he did it on purpose, it looks more like it's been luck so far.

**lord of the ghosts**

I do in fact have a reason,if you see the tally I made, 50 and GND both voted for each other, and then in one vote, changed to ferrett, they only had three votes. 50 seems to say "Genestealers will vote for each other to not die" therefore, he say this to point out others than himself.

(EDIT: changed posts to votes)

**Mekboy**

Interesting logic there, LotG. If 50 really was a genestealer, do you really think that he would point out his survival tactic to us?
