The Syndicate

this is the worst...

low-posters were more likely to be bad because the thread was so active....

This is horseshit....

*vote Epignosis*...

birdwithteeth11 3 17% Voters: Quin, sig, Marmot All I got is my word and I'mma get you that's my word Through family, friends or even fuckin' your bird Fuck it, anything, long as your death occur Whatever happened to death before dishonor? It's time for your end and it's my honor Never wish death, only if I have to, if it's my last option left Should of kept your mouth tight, he's losin' his life I was Matterhorn. I guess you can understand why sprityo got frustrated some of ya'll were voting for him now. :P No, I don't understand what you mean....

I can get behind the idea of lynchig a low poster....

Welp....

Now that that's over... I proposed that we lynched a non-poster since anyone who could actually post couldn't properly defend themselves. I also didn't understand the case on sig, before or after players were smitten with a variety of curses. So I voted for [mention]Marmot[/mention]. :...

Tony's call for a full scum team guess can be a productive step forward in the continuing dialogue if numerous players take him up on it. So a GTH read compilation where we limit our number of mafia guesses to 5? Actually, it looks more in depth than that. I'm in. I had a hard time understanding, putting in, or getting much out of Day 2. I think a refocusing is in order...

Also, Long Con using the word "woke" the way he did just put him on the scum team...

For now, my scum team consists of: JaggedJimmyJay JaggedJimmyJay JaggedJimmyJay JaggedJimmyJay JaggedJimmyJay https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2017-05/21/10/asset/buzzfeed-prod-fastlane-01/sub-buzz-29589-1495376521-5.png?downsize=715:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto...

Marmot, I count four posts among your 31 which I would describe as of the spammy or irrelevant variety. You've been doing things at an atypical rate. Tell me about your level of investment in this game so far. Just spotted this post while doing some very light ISOs. I go back and forth between invested and uninvested. I don't have the time I used to to pour into this game, and posting in nothing but quotes but from another game is time consuming. Why do you call it atypical...

Marmot, I count four posts among your 31 which I would describe as of the spammy or irrelevant variety. You've been doing things at an atypical rate.

I don't have the time I used to to pour into this game, and posting in nothing but quotes but from another game is time consuming. Why do you call it atypical? I'm suggesting that you were trying harder than usual. A striking portion of your posts displayed investment and not silliness. I expect more silliness. What gives? :shrug: What's your point? I prefer being unpredictable to being silly. I'm glad it's working. ;...

:shrug: What's your point? I prefer being unpredictable to being silly. I'm glad it's working. ;) What was your point when you told me my posts were shorter than usual? This is meta-gaming. It's happened in every Mafia thread to ever exist except the very first Mafia thread. If you're different than what I perceive to be your civilian norm, I'll talk about that. You commented on your own playstyle first . I just followed up on it. I still don't understand what you're getting it, and that bothers me. I find your point ambiguous. And also this meta-discussion is hurting my head...

You commented on your own playstyle first . I just followed up on it. I still don't understand what you're getting it, and that bothers me. I find your point ambiguous. And also this meta-discussion is hurting my head. I just told you what I'm getting at. I was concerned that your play was different from your civilian norm. That's an accusation. What is not to understand? Now it's an accusation. Until you bring alignment into the equation, it looks like an observation. When you say "If you're different than what I perceive to be your civilian norm, I'll talk about it", that doesn't tell me that you think that, just that you'll respond that way if you encounter it. That's what I find ambiguous, that you didn't state as such before. The accusation is still vague. I don't think I've posted as much "silly" things as I usually do. I don't have a problem with it. I like to be more light-hearted when I'm getting too serious or involved. When I'm posting less overall, I don't feel as involved, so I'm probably less inclined to flood the thread with fluff...

Notice the part where you say "if". I didn't read that as an accusation, but as a qualifier. That didn't tell me what you were thinking in that moment, but what you would do if you thought that...

Also, a wise man once told me. Bewbs...

Behold, WE are here! Hi Sloonei...

I doubt Jay killed me. He was my top town read. Literally any other combination of players in this game would have had reason to kill me on Night 1. I killed you for the lulz...

I wonder if my vote for birdwithteeth will proxy to ercaM...

I have a job, and a university, and look where I am. :disappoint: I mafiad more when I had a job and university. Now that I have just a job, mafia is harder. :...

hi sig, i'm glad you're back. we missed you. i missed you. remember the last 2 games we played in together and everyone scum read you and I defended you till my dying breath? yeah, I miss those days. can you tell us if dead players are allowed to vote and if their voting is counted? do you and sloonei and macdouall have btsc? Girl you killed him https://media1.tenor.com/images/909a28056831c6e71c54804df9ff1f04/tenor.gif :nicenod...

Somebody research the "bad replacements first" theory. Between Street Fighter, Pirates and Miuntsins we ought to have a fair dataset. We lynched MP in Vocaroo because he replaced out, or tried to (I can't remember if he actually did). He was a civilian. We lynched him under the impression that mafia MP replaces out of games frequently as of late, while civilian MP will continue playing. We were wrong. In Mountain Mafia, I had to replace 5 players. 3 of them were mafia replacements. Additionally, both of the civilians who replaced out requested it. 2 of the 3 mafia members who replaced out were not requested, the players just went AWOL...

Dunya, on a day when players could not properly defend themselves, why did you want to lynch a player who was talking and could defend themselves later rather than a player who wasn't here? You haven't played many games with me, but I am and always will be a strong advocate of NOT lynching complete no posters until absolutely necessary, such as in POE phases. I believe the opposite. I'd rather lynch the no-posters sooner than later. They may eventually join and post, but the likelihood is low. The people who are here posting will continue to talk, so let them talk. This was a more prime than ever situation to lynch a low-poster. The talkers couldn't even talk properly while the no-posters exhibited the same behavior...

I'm sorry, but I have a theory I go by and that is the odds of catching scum are better when you lynch someone with content you can judge and build a case for. I play mafia cos it's fun and because I'm competitive as hell and like to win. Lynching no-posters just so I can keep scummy-looking posters around so more people are talking isn't my thing. I lynch ya if ya scummy. No posters aren't scummy until POE. :nicenod: Fair point. In general. I disagree in this very particular situation. I also saw nothing in sig from Day 1 that I wanted to vote him for, so I had no interest in lynching him Day 2...

Fair point. In general. I disagree in this very particular situation. I also saw nothing in sig from Day 1 that I wanted to vote him for, so I had no interest in lynching him Day 2. that's ok, I think you're likely to be scum so I don't blame ya for not hopping on that bandwagon. :nicenod: care to link me to a written town game you've played fairly recently? Well that's convenient. :ohyeah: What led you to that conclusion? The only "normalish" game I've played recently is Phenon ...

@dunya i'm interested in hearing your read on dunya at this point in the game, do you have one yet? you're the only person to have played with a mafia dunya so i value your input here Sloonei, MacDougall and JJJ have played with mafia dunya. Your best bet into sussing me out on here is looking into my independent game in the burglary I guess. Though that game pace is a pretty lousy comparison to full blown mafia games. If you're very interested, I can email you a PDF of the last scum game I played on RYM. It's 700+ pages long. I'd rather just lynch you since you have content and then I can build a case from that. Except for the case part...

What's convenient is you trying to case me bad after I did that. ;) I haven't seen your rainbow list. I just assumed this is the first mentioning of it...

I found it! It could be a rainbow refracted through a prism...

Oh, we've got until tomorrow to lynch someone (not tonight). I'll be back on later then...

Glorfindel lapluie JaggedJimmyJay rabbit8 Kylemii Jackofhearts2005 Dom dunya Dave Elohcin Quin Long Con TonyStarkPrime speedchuck novaselinenever Made Simon Marmot DrWilgy Ugh. This all feels more arbitrary than my D1 rainbow. :sigh: Why do you group me with DrWilgy? We're not related. :mad...

I think lapluie has said things that look suspicious at face value, but she has done so with a tone that I read as authentic. She strikes me as the token civilian that everyone can easily suspect if they want to who ends up flipping civilian. Actually, I read her as I would have sometimes read sig in past games. Unfortunately not this one. :blush: Broading dunya's question to Sloonei and Quin: I feel disarmed by her candor. Do you think that should that concern me? How often to players suspect other player because they want to? That's not organic...

~ He did perhaps the least with his curse to communicate meaningfully, and if his curse was just "use quotes of other players" he should have had plenty of ways to be more productive with that. I could only quote posts from Mountain Mafia. Also, your assertion that one player did less than another with their curse is conjecture. I spent an uncomfortable amount of time searching through posts in that game for useful things to say...

A four way tie seems pretty fun. :ninja: I like this status quo. :grin...

Voting Jack...

Voting Jack. Why? Because you're good at mafia. We can't have that...

The way I see it, I’m out of this game in a hour’s time when those bastards come for me again. I would at least like to take one of them out before I leave the game. I keep getting a bad vibe from JoH and it’s been getting worse as the game goes on. For now, that’s where I’ll place my vote. Am open to being convinced otherwise if someone would care to put a case. Who are those bastards...

How da fua is there a case on Simon? What about Dave? Or Eloh or...... Simon's more caseable than Dave. But if you make a case on Dave I'll read it. Speaking of Elohcin, where is she. Oh I see she has a migraine....

MacDougall is a ass...

*lass ;...

Regarding Speedchuck, his finalvotes have been yuck until today. Nobody's forgetting that or Mac's insistence that he is bad. We should all remember these things as well as Speed's skill in faking being a townie.....and vote elsewhere for now. Wert speedchuck, can you elaborate on this post Jack? Why did you earlier encourage players to vote away from speedchuck...

Simon has 4 votes...

Like everyone is town to Jack except Simon and Wilgy and me. Somethings up. Let's lynch Simon I guess. :noble: What makes you think you're civilian...

[mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] What is the Uncle Leo incident...

Why Cause a 90% chance to catch scum with a 10% chance to mislynch an unhelpful townie is better than a 50% chance to catch scum and a 50% chance to mislynch a really helpful townie. Plus, I'd rather bet the game on Day 8 on 8 days of actual Speedchuck content than have to do it on basically half a day of content some of the other players are going to give by that point in time. We have time to let Speedchuck prove or bury himself. Simon's at max badness right now. I agree with this post except for the percentages. Don't we have a 100% chance of catching scum in Simon...

@JaggedJimmyJay What is the Uncle Leo incident? I believe it was a first-time player on the site playing in an Uncle Leo sock. After dealing with a lot of suspicion in a late game phase, she became really frustrated and voted for herself. She was a civilian. I want to meet this player...

If Simom does flip civ it should be noted that JJJ and Dunya switched to simon after I voted for speed and tied it briefly. So if Simon does flip civ and speed votes mafia then it should be noted who saved him. I didn't even see you'd taken your vote off me or jjj voted Simon. :shrug: at this point I'm inclined to believe Jack has info. If he doesn't he's being silly. Silly? Why would Jack pretend such a thing when one of his alternate suspects, speedchuck, is a counter wagon...
