Honestly, this doesn't make any sense. You're saying SB or I is likely to be bad because you feel we have BTSC, even though this is a game where the win condition is "last 4 standing" not "eliminate rival factions."
You really don't see how another player having teammates he can coordinate with is dangerous for a player with teammates he cannot coordinate with?
My point was that being suspicious of BTSC is probably a red herring in a game of dynamic factions like this - especially in a Hybridity game.
And, in the interest of avoiding whatever Stranger's "or else" threat means, I'll go with the majority and try to get rid of a (potentially) bad Neutral, since I don't know how much time we have left.
Vote: Silver Lantern.
My point is that assuming everyone except unaffiliateds have BTSC is indicative that you have BTSC, and as someone without it that's dangerous to me.

And that's definitely not what your post says. It says "we should lynch SB/cbob unless Silver is bad." Ok, great, how do we figure out if Silver is bad? Asking him politely to admit it? It's a meaningless statement that's just covering your bases no matter who's lynched.
I didn't ignore your defense. You listed a bunch of other possible scenarios. That's not a defense, that's spin.

Meanwhile the only people we know are likely to be unaffiliated are Sineater (who's turning the Endless into artifacts and thus against every faction except maybe Dragon City), Skarn (former SK who works for Sineater) and Providence (who literally said she wants to kill everyone). So please explain why you think Silver's not likely to be dangerous?
(And kindly avoid just regurgitating my case, since it doesn't seem to jive with what you've been saying so far.)
This is a good case for the Unaffiliated all being bad, but I'm betting as others (you being one of them I believe) have said that Sineater is likely not a first round character. Definitely possible he's here right now. I doubt unaffiliated is all bad, but it's possible.
Furthermore, someone with BTSC who can coordinate with teammates is way more of a risk to me winning than someone who can do harm, but is alone.
If you want to defend yourself, don't spin it. Give a claim, or say out right you don't have BTSC, and why you assumed others did.

Pre-stating hindsight isn't unheard of in mafia.
This is exactly what I meant.

I'm really liking grizzz right now.

No. Posting ceases when the thread is closed, or usually after the day phase times out if the thread hasn't been closed.
Voting shenanigans are way to common.
Plus, returning characters have bonuses like nk immunity, higher voting thresholds, immunity from certain night powers. This means until time is up or Stranger closes the thread you should keep going.

____ The pirate Queen known as Iron Pike wrapped a bandage around her bruised hand.
____ "Smart kid, bad fighter," she said aloud.
____ Had her crew not learned yet? You took what Iron Pike gave you, not more.
____ Her fleet sat just outside of the province of Walu as they raided the coastal cities of Waysh and Fawscym City.
____ The war was a perfect distraction to attack the lush, rich province. She hadn't tried before, but with the little Emperor's army marching North, it was a great opportunity.
____ Most gave up their valuables without a fight, others...they got to go for a swim.
____ "This is how a Queen treats her loyal subjects!" Iron Pike shouted. She threw gold coins at her awaiting crewmen, who hollered and shouted.
____ "I just wish Captain Cain were alive to see this day."
____ The boat shook a bit, and at first the pirate Queen thought it was some kind of shock wave. Then the shaking became more aggressive.
____ "What's going on?"
____ Then it surfaced. Long blue tentacles that burst forth from the water, and wrapped around wooden pillars and fleeing crewmen.
____ A ravenous beast with numerous eyes, and blades for teeth, loomed over the end of the ship.
____ Above it, a man with a hook hand laughed.
____ "I hate pirates!" Said the hook handed man.
____ Iron Pike withdrew her pistol and fired, but her shots missed. She then grabbed her sword and ran forth to meet the beast.
____ Wham! A tentacle slammed her into the boat.
____ When she awoke again, she was in Blackraft prison.
Iron Pike is gone! [Iron Fist (Wu Ao-Shi) / Spectre (Taylor Pike)]
____ Blind Justice reluctantly opened his eyes. He peered around the room, to the sight of what looked like an old hospital, with tubes and liquids running across the walls. Beside him, another bed lay empty.
____ "Oh spirits, why do you mock me?"
____ "I'm not a spirit you idiot."
____ This time he looked down and found a large, red staff leaning against the hospital bed.
____ "Looks like you have enough mystical power to understand me," said the Staff.
"It's Red, err Wineskin. Whatever. Listen, we need to get out of here before that twisted creep comes back."
____ "...Red? No. No, Red died a long time ago. You are just a staff."
____ "Can you get your head out of your ass for one second?"
____ "Oh okay it's you."
____ A small flicker of crimson pulsated from the Staff, and it began to hover. It hovered up and right into Blind Justice's hands.
____ "I can still use my magic, so let's go. Come on, run!"
____ He did what he was told and stepped off the bed. His vision was blurry around the edges, and his arms felt...misaligned. Also, didn't he used to walk without a limp?
____ The Staff led him through a set of closed, sterile doors, down a long dimly lit hallway, and to a sewer tunnel.
____ "I see the future," said Blind Justice, as he crawled through the tunnel, staff in hand. "We do not survive this war. My dreams have repeated, visions of a future yet to come. Three glimpses into the future."
____ "Look, can we not do this right now?"
____ "Three glimpses. First I saw a dragon fighting an ox, under a rainbow. Then I saw a world of wires and skulls, and a great black tower. Finally I saw a strange gauntlet worn by a God."
____ He reached the end of the tunnel and hopped out. The great swamps of The Loch stretched out to their left, while the ocean sat to their right.
____ "Let's just focus on the present. How do we get to Walu?"
____ Blind Justice didn't know, so he started walking towards The Loch. He thought he knew of someone there that could help them.

Waysh
____ Skydda walked through the streets of Waysh as she tried to understand this war. Her long, black hair felt soft against her exposed shoulders and solid red breast plate. A slight breeze made the weather perfect. She carried two hammers in her hands, just in case.
____ Downtown Waysh was busy and bustling. People hurried this way and that, jumping into giant tubes that could warp them closer to their destinations. They came in red, green, yellow and blue.
____ She walked along past a school and saw a group of children with sticks practicing their fencing against what appeared to be a toaster.
____ "Girls, what is this? What are you doing?"
____ "Just doing our parts!" Said one of the little girls.
____ "I'm doing my part." Said another.
____ "I'm doing my part!" Said a third.
____ Skydda counted the girls and there was probably about fifteen in total. She shook her head, and continued on her way downtown.
~
Kronn
____ The City of Kronn lied South on a tangent just off of Morrscape. Despite the dense jungles and heat of Morrscape, Kronn was temperate and open. Jackal built the city in what he felt a good city needed. Namely, pyramids.
____ He sat upon his throne, inside the great Pyramid of Debis, as he listened to his villagers' complaints. Usual things, a drought that had taken too much food, or battling neighbours. Today he had several questions about the War of The Endless, but Jackal brushed them aside. Kronn would have no place in that war.
____ At around noon, Jackal decided to take a break and grab some lunch. Fish, or maybe crocodile. As he stood up from his throne, a single man ran in through the doorway.
____ "Pharaoh!"
____ "Begone!" Shouted Jackal, his voice booming and strong. "It is time that I feast."
____ "It's your son."
____ The little man led the great Pharaoh Jackal to one of the quarries just outside of the City's inner square.
____ At the center of the stone quarry was the body of a large man, with electric yellow eyes. They were open and unblinking.
____ "My son..." Said Jackal. "How can this be possible? What man is strong enough to defeat a demi-God?"
____ "I don't know Pharaoh, but we found a clockwork chess bishop on the body."
____ The Umbrella casts a long shadow if it thinks it can strike here...
____ "Prepare the Nightriders. Kronn is going to war."
~
Morrscape
____ Rumours circulated fast, and strange sightings in the jungles of Morrscape filled imaginations. A black tower had been made, twisted, with gears, and metal. And every minute more and more was pulled onto the tower, adding to its ominous visage.
____ Byzantine had been chosen by Emperor Gangles himself to investigate the tower. He traveled all the way to Morrscape.
____ "Lousy jungle, can't believe this." He muttered. Byzantine was a man that wanted to put criminals behind bars, not walk through a jungle and be bitten by mosquitoes.
____ The black tower was hard to miss. Once he got close, he withdrew his radio to tell Emperor Gangles about his location. But there was too much static.
____ "Won't work here." Said a voice.
____ Byzantine craned his head upwards and saw a horrifying witch standing atop the tower, binding it and building it with her many wires and tendrils.
____ He tried to run, but it was her that targeted him.
____ A barbed wire shot forth from her wrist and wrapped around his legs, pulling him back.
____ He screamed and tried to break loose, as she slowly pulled him across the dirt and into the air.
____ In the span of the next ten minutes, she flayed him and used his remains to help build her tower.
~
Dragon City
____ Major Frost had only been to Dragon City once before, when he was younger, and he didn't remember much of the trip.
____ Still, King Afterthought asked him to hunt down some high profile targets so they wouldn't get in the way.
____ And the Phantom was first on the list.
____ Major Frost had never seen a place so full of people, with lights everywhere and businesses running around the clock. People emptied wash buckets into the street, and housing was mostly on top of stores or in squat buildings.
____ The streets were narrow, or they curved randomly and stopped for no reason. Fruit stands sat on every corner, followed by clothing and signs. Signs everywhere. Buy this, buy that, eat here, sleep here, piss here.
____ Taking it all in was a task in of itself.
____ No wonder this place has so much corruption, you can't move without accidentally hitting someone.
____ Major Frost found his target quickly, standing in a chicken foot shop. He withdrew his gun and fired, freezing the Phantom solid into a cube.
____ Then he ducked into an alleyway and ran off.
____ An hour later, the owners of the chicken foot shop tossed the frozen man out into the street.
____ There he was found by a woman with green skin and a purple cape. Her name was Skal.
____ "That was easy," she said, slightly confused. Was he always frozen?
____ The woman pulled her fist back and smashed through the ice cube, shattering it. She then took the man to Blackraft prison.
Byzantine is dead! [Purple Man / Crimson Avenger (Travis)]
Multiple factions losing members. It also looks like the Phantom was RBed by Major Frost and then removed from the game by the Blackraft woman. Maybe she's akin to an SK?
Looks like the Black Adam/Electro character might be being replaced by the Nightriders.
____ Before he died ملك built a statue of himself.
____ You may choose to interact with the statue in any way of your choosing.
____ Please post answers in bold.
2)
____ You are all in a field. It's a beautiful, clear day.
____ To the left is an old tree, that was struck by lightning last fall.
____ To the right is a river, but you don't know anything about it.
____ Behind you is a giant circle of twigs and leaves.
____ In front of you is just open grass.
____ You're holding a knife.
____ A great roar sounds in the distance. Some kind of monster is running towards you.
____ What do you do? You can take one action.
____ Remember, there are eighteen people there. You are not your characters.
The first person to answer correctly will be allowed to learn who their second character is, and be allowed to sacrifice that character to save your first one.
Affiliations will not be revealed.
There is a four hour time limit on this event.
Please post in the thread, in bold, something like "Event answer: "
1. I'll hook up 50,000 volts to the statue, and then wrap my arms around it, yelling "SHAZAM!"
2.
Realizing I'm in a dimension for which the Prince symbol is a basic map, the only way to go is with the arrow, toward the beast. I raise my knife and run across the open grass, crying "This is what it sounds like when doves cry, mutha##ckaaaaaa!!!"
So that's somebody from Walu killed by Providence, somebody from Kronn killed offscreen by somebody from the Umbrella, and somebody from Dragon City arrested by Skal from ??? after being frozen by Major Frost (also from the Umbrella). Interesting.

I think Providence is the SK-type here.

I like the cut of your jib.
Event Answer:
1. I stay the hell away. I'm not going near something made by a Black Adam/Shocker combo.
2. Hamstring somebody and leave them in the circle of leaves/twigs as an offering.

This ounds like a potential double tap to me... durr
Event Answer(s) durr
1) I do not have time to visit a statue of a man I never met, durr, nor do I care to admire the vanity of someone who would build a statue to themself.
2) I jump in the water of the and float away, durr. I advise everyone else to do the same, but I'm not going to wait up for them, durr.
1. I write a message with Narya in the air above the statue. "Goodnight sweet prince."
2. The circle of leaves and twigs is clearly one of them pitfall traps.
We take the fallen tree and put it on the other side of the pitfall trap from where we're standing, hoping the monster will trip over the tree and into our trap.
