The Syndicate

leeeet's go

I'm excited to play with this cast

6 days seems like a really long time to be playing half of a game

though the two roles thing will probably extend things anyways so maybe that's realistic?

are there any other game setups that seem to be referenced here? it seems like at the very least we have Chicka Chicka with The Button and reviving into different roles and apparently survivor with the tribes?

The idea for the GOC’s is that literally every game from last year is welded together into a giant monstrosity. Expect a whole lotta game references.

that's beautiful.

was there any other weird shit that happened this year that I should be aware of? I missed out on about 9 months of it

First thing’s first, how do I vote with this new voting tag system that I just read about in the rules?

[ vote ]vote[/ vote ]
[VOTE: vote] aubergine

there's also a "vote" button up in the thing

it also adds the word "aubergine" for like basically no reason

Scotty wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 3:11 am Wait how would we even push the button? Is that something we can decide as a group to push or is it at the discretion of the actual Giant Anonymous Talking Button (tm)?

If it's like in Chicka Chicka then the button can only be pushed by the player who has that role. It was a one shot power that switched everyone's roles and alignments around and also made the player who pressed it unable to win until they died and were given a different role.

it probably doesn't work exactly like that here since cc123 was an LTS

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 9:38 am @Kylemii the word it adds is for search purposes. It's a word we wouldn't use in just normal mafia conversation so when the host is tallying the vote count all they have to do is search the thread for that word. For that reason I recommend you try not to say that word so it keeps the host's job as simple as possible.

I mean.... Yes, that's true in games where manual vote tally is the only vote tally, but since this game has a poll as well, it just kinda turns the eggplant thing into an absurd looking artifact divorced from it's true purpose.

Jack hasn't checked in at all. Sig cast a self-vote to tie out of "boredom," failed to provide actionable information about his haiku submission, and ignored my own claim of haiku submission. I don't like any of those things.

don't like as in suspect or don't like as in think they're weak suspicions

I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to break this tie under these circumstances. I really need to throw up more but I don't want to miss the vote

[VOTE: ninja] aubergine to maintain the tie

I've finally stopped throwing up. I'll catch up now.

Ok, what's this "70% sure" crap? You either did or you didn't, and you should be able to check your PMs to verify either way. Also, I must not count as anybody, because I definitely responded in the affirmative about the haiku.

do you suspect sig for the percentile thing? Is there a nefarious reason for using percentages instead of just checking his PMs or just lying about it?

I spent the latter half of day one curled up in a ball and purging the evils of food poisoning from my body. I hadn't read any of the relevant pages, so the only thing I had to base my vote off of was the case summaries people had provided, and none of them really blew my socks off. I voted to maintain the tie instead of breaking it bc I believed probability had as good of a chance at making a good decision than I did in that circumstance.

hey what was the unconventional scumhunting that you did? was it your self vote? what did you find out

what is a "clothes man" did he mean scarecrow?

sig seems.... well he doesn't seem too bad but he doesn't seem good either. his posts in aggregate show a progression of thought that I think looks like it could legit. 2 hangups, I don't fully understand his vote-for-self gambit, and what he expected to get out of it.

based on the fact that the existence of my food poisoning would have been a thing he would have learned of during his iso of me, and my explanation that eased this suspicion was a rehashing of things I'd already explained.

Boomslang wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 10:17 pmWhy does me wanting others to claim or deny haikus make me seem bad to you? Even if everyone claims to send one in, we'll produce a bunch of lie-checkable statements that someone could use to confirm suspicion of suspects come later in the game.

how?

In other news, Jack coming out swinging is a good look, although I don't get his statement about wanting to lynch himself if he was the button role (didn't play that game).

did jack say this? about the lynch thing

boomslang has relatively fewer posts, though they're longer and contain a decent amount of reads. biggest complaint? I don't like the fixation on the 70% thing re: sig, and this post looks weird to me:

I actually don't see the comparison between this lorab and fiddler lorab? early game fiddler lorab at least one announced intentions and thoughts on relevant players, even if they weren't strong, meanwhile here she's not actually pushed any topics at all and her vote was for Sloonei for peer pressuring her? like for sure I am not saying that her posts here are the ingredients of a civ, but fiddler lorab (mafia) put effort into making it seem like she cared about the roof

What does that even mean? I think it's natural to be frustrated over someone refusing to give a straight answer on simple yes or no information.

but why was it so frustrating? what was the actual source of frustration for you? was anyone expecting sig or anyone to say whether they'd written a haiku

In retrospect, my thought process on that might have been dumb. My idea was that Mafia would have more incentive to lie if they hadn't sent in a haiku, so if someone suspected a player as Mafia, they could lie-check the haiku thing as a barometer of trustworthiness. I think that thought process stemmed from my frustration over sig.

what kind of person would have the forethought to lie about doing a haiku but not have the forethought to have just done a haiku when they signed up in the first place? I also don't necessarily think a civ who hadn't done a haiku would have a good reason to tell the truth about it?

No one knows.

Alas, 'tis true. But for real, it was a crazy endgame with everyone suspecting each other and getting mad (and I had already been lynched and then rezzed as a Cylon and then on the chopping block AGAIN and I had no idea what was happening), only to find out that through some crazy loophole, everyone left was either good or indy, with the indy not needing to kill us. So such craziness is a possibility, but not likely.

how did it end? what happened?

She's done nothing that looks explicitly town, hasn't really given any reads. In the absence of stronger suspects, I'm kind of defaulting to her.

did you get to review her post from fiddler for comparison like you said you were going to do?

linki~ oh

I didn't know Wilgy was in our tribe???

we've got 15 minutes and no one has more than 2 votes... if we want someone from our tribe to be lynched we pretty much have to decide now. I think I'm pretty okay with either lorab or boomslang.

vote boomslang aubergine

Um, yes? That was exactly what I expected when I asked "Anyone else willing to make that claim?"

you expected anyone, regardless of alignment, to tell the truth about whether they were lynchable on day one of the Game of Champions?

I don't think "forethought" comes into it. We weren't told that haiku gave the lynch-immunity advantage before the game, so if somebody didn't send one in, they could easily have an "oh shit" moment.

we were told that the haiku would have a benefit, the specifics aren't important. the options were to construct a sentence in 5-7-5 format or miss out on the advantage even if it were something insignificant, making a haiku is not a challenge. I just like.... can't imagine a person gleefully saying "hey I'm lynchable" civ or mafia?
