Hal, I think, out of everyone, I know the absolute least about : you, your word, what you know, who you've talked to, what makes you 'tick'.

What gives?

In addition, I've been completely transparent about who I've talked to. You really must not be paying any attention or else you are flat out lying.

How the gently caress would I manage that? I was at 6 yesterday before two of my words got revealed, and after exhausting my communication for then. I got winvirus'... Which everyone else also got. You think I somehow picked up three or four words through wizardry? Just a really, really lucky guesser?

Honestly, my "secret plan to reveal all of Thanatos' words while killing Somberbrero" is far more plausible than this.

The only information we exchanged was who we were talking to, and you also said you would tell me something if you thought you were going down. What exactly do you think you gave me?

And yes, on D3, you sent me "Hey Hal how is it going" and I replied with "OK, but I wish all this poo poo about me wasn't getting aired out in the thread" and I never got a reply to that. SO MORE LIES WHY IS EVERYONE LYING ABOUT ME.

You'll have to forgive me for not feeling the good faith from a guy voting to lynch me.

I'd be inclined to guess PoP. Lots of varying connections, and lots of connections to connections. Aside from day 1, I've been mostly intertwined with the same "network" of people, so my word selection has pretty much stagnated. As of today, very possibly merk; I'm apparently not too popular, and he had his offer standing from yesterday. But who knows; maybe Hal is slow-playing this.

Does anyone actually have PoP's word? I know merk said he'd give his out yesterday; was he as good as his word (no pun intended)?

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

I'm pretty clearly not the one with 8 words - merk hasn't given his out, Byers/winvirus/ActingPower have all either had their words revealed or given them out to the entire thread, and the only other connection I've had before today was Hal yesterday, and we pretty much exclusively talked about narrowing down the word merk guessed. I'm talking to Rarity today, and unless she's stonewalling me she's got no other non-public words. I'm locked out re: Thanatos/MMM/Strong Mouse/EXAKT even if you assume I've had successful trades elsewhere.

MMM, you painted yourself as a major wild card in the vote yesterday, what have your connections been?

I think PoP and merk are probably the biggest threats (though winvirus is definitely dangerous, too). This is mostly defensive, though, and an attempt to at least somewhat hew to my "I don't like vote-changing at the last minute" policy.

I feel the same way about EXAKT as I do about Hal or Rarity: I suppose it's possible they're slow-playing it, but I feel like even assuming they've been contacting people, no one has really been contacting them. And more contacts=more opportunities for words=bigger threat. See also: my posts re: merk, PoP, & winvirus. So I don't think they're likely to be in possession of eight words at this point. No offense, guys.

Really, my biggest concern is that PoP or merk could be in possession of eight words having not revealed his/her own. Which would be, at this point, terrifying. Like, the only way you're beating that is with a vote.

Thanatos, I'll believe you've had bad luck when you list all the communication lines you've had these three days. It's super easy to call bullshit if someone's lying about that, you're just pulling a chicken little routine where "omg the guys I don't like are probably winning"

I had 5 total connections as of yesterday (Byers/winvirus/ActingPower/merk/Hal) when someone guessed 8 words, so even if I had merk's word, merk's guessed word if it wasn't Hal's or ActingPower's, Hal's word, and the three that have been publicly revealed (winvirus/Byers/ActingPower), and my own that's seven words.

Thanatos, give me one remotely plausible scenario where I get an 8th word somewhere there.

Day 2: MMM & Actingpower, which I think everyone knows at this point.
Day 3: Somberbrero. We chose each other, which screwed me.
Day 4: MMM, because I said I would, and if I didn't, you and your posse would use it as an excuse to lynch me. Which has proven less than helpful, given our mutual distrust for each other.

I'm guessing that merk is a busy little bee today.

There have been four words publicly revealed: Somberbrero's.

I'm willing to trade, just under the right circumstances. So far people either haven't been interested, have revealed their word on their own, or in ActingPower's case someone threw his word out publicly before we could negotiate something.

The guesses from yesterday (including the one that got 8 correct words) were made before Somber's word was revealed. You can amend that "lawyer'd/IT guy'd" to "Ditch Digger'd" or something.
