The Syndicate

i don't think I've ever played a legitimate mega man game before. i've only played that one where the red robot has a sword, and the ones where mega man is a computer program fighting viruses.

Megaman X and Megaman Legends are best Megamans anyway.

the best megaman game is actually Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

you have 13 posts but have said nothing. i wanna know how you feel about nutella, wilgy and quin.

i don't feel anything about you 3, that's why i asked the question and excluded jay/jack

you nutella and wilgy haven't done anything in particular to stand out, so i want to know what stuck out to mac

whoever posts iso links will earn my eternal love and affection

Quin wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 2:28 amso what do you think about jay and jack?

i like the way jack came into the thread throwing pinecones and acting as catalyst for activity, his initial posts showed a desire for shit to start taking place that i think looks reploid-ish

jay is in a similar boat, kind of, i like his drunken roustabouting

"roustabout" doesn't mean what i thought it meant

Yes I think so

in 10 words or less can you explain why for each one plz

Quin wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 2:53 ami don't know what reploid is but that sounds within the realm of his typical meta.

reploids are the good robots in megaman.... i think?

K-Ness wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 6:50 am I'll resist the urge to get into the technical definition of reploid (pings me a bit that it was used, but it's probably just an honest mistake).

do you mean ping in a legitimate sense or like in a pet peeve sense

reploids and mavericks seem like convenient words for defining good and bad robots in this game since the original games don't have any real provided terminology or plot (as far as I know?) and the definition at least loosely applies since reploids are defined by their free will and mavericks are defined by being robo-jerks

I meant in a pet peeve sense, with some slight legitimacy. At first I thought maybe there was some offhand mention about being reploids to the recruited robot masters, a simple mistake taking a term used only for Mega Man X series characters (Mega Man, which takes place before the X series, only refers to robot masters). The worst part about it is that none of the robot masters can technically be considered reploids, as it's a term referring to an android that is replicated as a human (Mega Man fits this description, as do Roll and Proto Man, but the term wasn't used until X came along).

The reason I mostly shrug it off in the end is because Maverick would make more sense as villain nomenclature, but again, we're looking at an X term so even that wouldn't be expected to be used.

*really trying not to get bogged down into semantics this game, as that usually causes tunnel vision and leads to garbage plays on my end, but it's something to file in the back of my mind*

from now on I will only refer to them as bad boy robots and good boy robots, to avoid any unnecessary confusion

K-Ness, what is ur mafia background, who do you know already? how would you characterize your general play style? do you want to be friends?

I apologise if you already answered these

Is this for real a thing? Bull is also posting outdated rules like Light recruitment. Setup kinda unclear.
Am I? I don't remember talking about Light at all.
http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 18#p483918
Fair enough, I suppose Light recruiting is mentioned in the quote I posted. In context though it's not really relevant to the argument I was trying to make. Do you not think it's likely that any baddies would pretend not to understand the mechanics of the game as a means of trying to avoid suspicion?
Hi friends, i thought i should add this tidbit! Originally when this called for more players, Light, Wily, and Cossack all recruited every night until the fourth night. or something like that if i remember correctly? here is the original setup thread before epi changed it to be 5 players less:

Spoiler: show
Epignosis wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2015 12:03 am

A game for 31
Light

Dr. Light
Thomas Light programs up to five robot masters each Night, maxing out at 20. If Dr. Wily is programming a robot master that Dr. Light attempts to program, then Wily gets the robot master, and Dr. Light’s maximum number of robot masters decreases by one. *Secrets*

Mega Man
The Mega Buster makes his vote worth 2.
Mega Man will slide out of the first kill attempt against him.
If he votes for the lynched player, he can use that robot’s power once at any time.

Rush
Has two modes to choose from:
Rush Coil (Protect someone that Night)
Rush Jet (Take someone off the poll)

Flip-Top
Eddie delivers an item to any player each Night:
Energy: -1 received vote
Weapons: +1 vote

Robot Masters
One of the doctors must activate them and their weapons.

Bomb Man

Cut Man

Guts Man

Ice Man

Air Man

Bubble Man

Metal Man

Heat Man

Magnet Man

Spark Man

Snake Man

Gemini Man

Pharaoh Man

Bright Man

Dust Man

Skull Man

Gravity Man

Crystal Man

Charge Man

Napalm Man

Knight Man

Centaur Man

Tomahawk Man

Yamato Man

Wily

Dr. Wily
Albert Wily programs one robot master each Night, maxing out at four. These gain BTSC. *Secrets*

Cossack

Dr. Cossack
Mikhail Cossack is a scientist who was once framed. He will program the leftover robot masters once Light and Wily are finished Night IV. These robot masters will have BTSC and a secret mission. *Secrets*

The "Brother"

Proto Man
*Secrets*

Now i know it's no excuse not to have re read the rules, but I can see it as a source of my friend's confusions. We're all in this together people!

i cant believe epi cut centaur man like that

there's like 3 different fire themed robots and not even a single horse guy

the most notable recent scum games I've played were um... the big one. the big game where we all started out on different tribes but it wasn't survivor idr what it was called but it was the big yearly one and..... um.... there was a second one recently but I don't remember the theme. also some various burglaries. I can look them up when I get home.

Game of Champions, i think. But there was another one. I was on a team with nutella and long con, this is gonna bug me. :/ help

yeah but there was a second game, I was mafia teammates with long con twice this year in two different large big games, or it might have been you. I know it was you or long con twice

haven't had time to read much of anything yet but I have tomorrow off so I should be able to catch up before the lynch vote happens

Quin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 3:47 am I don't condone a Sloonei lynch. Picking on alien in particular, none of Sloonei's posts appear far off from his usual role as a content facilitator. I think there is some fence-sitting in there (i.e. the 'dipping toes' post), but otherwise he's pretty much within the realms of what I'd expect of town Sloonei.

What I don't agree with is that you call Sloonei's ISO's 'busy work', alien. The point of an ISO is not to enter it with a pre-set conclusion. If one conducts an ISO and has half-hearted feelings at the end, that's a perfectly valid thing to say. The fact that he's doing ISO's on Day 1 in the first place is a good thing.

i like this post from quin

I like quin and sloonei and to a lesser extent alien in how they interacted in that one part where they were all talking with each other about sloonei, though I'd like to review an alien game for comparison sake. I like quin's look especially cus there's be less benefit to defending sloonei as a good boy robot than there would be as a bad boy robot
