I strongly believe that the Eternals / Guardians are not cults. My reading of how cults work on the wiki lead me to believe they keep the cult a secret, so having their name associated with these groups in the first post doesn't add up to me. Also, we already have 3 "members" already on day 2. That's going to eat up the players too quickly.

As for the option of joining those groups, it does sound very 'blackmail' like. It appears 100% of the offers have been accepted. Also, all three say they don't know the benefit to the group. Therefore, either they are all lying about the benefits, or the punishment for not joining must be large. Therefore, the plan to lynch the next member of the group is likely a bad idea as it will put the next invitee in a real rough spot.

What has confused me so far in catching up is the great distrust to Matt. Once RD flipped town, suspicions on Matt relate only to him being a member of the Eternals. For some reason, he is being attacked the most for this membership and his vague responses. But all of the group members have generally corroborated his story and the new members are just as vague.

So how did the Matt vote get started? First by GirlySports, followed quickly by ECF. I'm having a hard time quoting posts from pages ago, so I am just cutting and pasting.

GirlySports:
"Starseed and GGG wanting to give RD a chance and voting for GP_Matt makes sense

GP_Matt wanting to give RD a chance and voting for RD makes no sense

And seeing that Starseed is Guardian and GP_Matt is Eternal..

Vote
GP_Matt"

To be honest, I re-read this about 10 times and still can't quite follow the logic there. Really odd vote. I have been suspicious of Girly most of the game so far, and this just pushes it further.

ECF:
"Everything GP_Matt does to me seems rotten. Way too many vague and half responses.

I think if we get a flip for GP, this might tell us a lot, including maybe something about this eternal thing. Because GP sure as hell isn't telling us about it.

Vote: GP_Matt"

So ECF's vote against Matt is based on the fact that he is an Eternal and is being vague about it. Okay, I could buy that. But now ECF is also an Eternal, is also extremely vague about it, and yet he STILL has his vote of Matt. What? That makes no sense.

Thus, I don't think ECF's vote against Matt was due to the Eternals, it was another reason - he's scum and knows the momentum against Matt would be easy to build once Girly had the vote down.

Vote: East Coast Flame

Was going through old votes when I came accross this one. Mrkajz used the above logic to kick off the vote run on ECF. The vote goes as follows:

Ecf: mrkajz, GGG, Wood, Starseed, gp_Matt, form, squiggs.

Then ECF reveals. The 3 unknowns are myself, mrkajz, Squiggs. There is obviously a mafia role cop somewhere in the game. Did they get lucky early with their investigations, find a reason to start the ECF vote, then stay away from ECF until they forced a reveal.
