The Syndicate

Well, we had fun anyway.

See you all in the next game!

Sorry I kept getting all paranoid on you Mongoose, you too, Elo. Did you have info? After you died, I realized you were acting like a civ who was trying to make a case on someone they KNEW was bad.

I had no secret info, but I had a deep gut feeling LT was bad by the way she was acting. MP was sticking up for her behavior and telling me I had no clue what I was talking about. When he turned out baddie, I was pretty sure my gut was right all along.

Just so you know, I really didn't have the time to be here at the time I said it and I really wouldn't have signed up to a 24hr game if I had known it was 24hrs... I also didn't read the game before I signed up. I wasn't lying.

To the bad team:

1. Knowing the win condition, I would have thrown one or two people under the bus early for easy civ cred.

Except the ONLY real power we had was our numbers - for getting civvies lynched, for getting coins, for getting roles, for votes when we could afford roles.

2. I would NOT have bought water roles. Those EASILY out bad guys. That's how Bullz and Russ showed their hand.

Then why were they roles? As Bullz said, by that time, we knew we were not going to win, so our objective became to take out as many civs as we could before the end of the game. Given they had a vote power of 4 and we were only in Water Land one time... what else were we supposed to do with them?

As a host:

I thought I was wrong in making ties no lynch, but then I thought, "Lynches are the province of the civs," so they should have control over it, so I kept ties at no lynch.

The game would have been long over if ties had resulted in a lynch - I liked the tied lynch = no lynch

I disagree.

Well, there were maybe a couple of times where we could have gotten the upper hand, but we were thwarted by silly civvies. The last few mafia days, we knew we weren't going to win... but like I said, we played to the end and loved it!

We had no chance of winning, but it really has been a ton of fun! I loved my team and we had a blast in BTSC. Not having any powers except what we could buy makes it a little difficult to be bad, let alone no vote power But we gave it our best and we kept on coming up with plans and strategies.... we played to the end!!! LOVED IT!

We should have killed Mongoose, but I thought she deserved her first win, so I killed BWT... sorry about that, BWT!!!!

Thanks for the fun game, Rob!

S~V~S wrote:OK, I have reason to think Elo knows what she is talking about, gonna vote now, and then do dinner & drinks~

Sorry LT

I was just about to reply to your other post asking you to trust me I swear that the last baddie is Mongoose - as you will soon see. She will probably kill you next...

Oh well, it has been a very, very fun game.

Awww.... RIP BWT!

Mongoose wrote:Well, if this helps, I wouldn't have killed BWT if I was Bowser because I think he marginally trusted me more than you do and was leaning more to voting for LT if Bullz flipped baddie, which he did. So it wouldn't make sense for me to kill BWT as Bowser, but it makes a lot more sense for him to die with LT as Bowser.

Linki- YES ELO!

Why would I kill BWT? If I were bad, I would have killed you! No, I think it would make perfect sense for you to kill either BWT or S~V~S since they are the only two that don't see me as being bad.

I am sorry, Mongoose, but the jig is up. You are the last one left and it is time for us to take you out, once and for all

*vote Mongoose*

Of course you would say that, considering you were glad Vomps, who was revealed to be the Ice King, was dead:

Does anyone else find her statements RE: Vompers' death particularly damning?

Given that I had been Iced by Vomps, it was a little bit of humour

Well, Mongoose, your posts really make you seem baddie throughout the game. The fact that Vomps seemed to be on your side is really not a convincing defense, tbh.

Now that we are down to the wire, I really think you are the biggest danger to the civvies and should be eliminated toute suite!

As for Vomps being lynched, there are so many items in this game, how can you possibly be sure of how anyone got lynched with less apparent votes than the most apparent vote getter? We know that Russti was a baddie and evidently had 4 votes. And that is it. Any other attempt at explanation is just speculation.

I am voting you every day until one of us is dead, tbh. I really believe you to be bad bad bad.

*vote Mongoose*

So glad I can finally talk again! Really not nice to be frozen so I am actually happy that the evil Ice King has met his demise! We are all that much safer...

Personally, I am most suspicious of Mongoose still. I find it very interesting that the person whom I had been suspecting, made a case on... then tries to get me lynched! How convenient for her that I was unable to speak! Quite rude, if you ask me!

Anyway, no sense in waiting - my vote goes to Mongoose. I am very sure that she is going to end up being the big bad baddie.

*vote Mongoose*

Yes, I tried my suggestions and they did not work. Something is wrong with the site. Researching...

Epignosis wrote:My page is wacky, white, and unusable for me. I do not know why this is.

It happened to me earlier as well. Shut down your browser, clear the cache and try again - it is the image files/css not getting loaded and likely more to do with the server the site is on than your end.

Also, you could try going into Control Panel and changing your theme to ProSilver for now - or I can do it for you if you can't see the links.

I strongly object! Also, S~V~S, when I voted there were still 3 votes outstanding, your vote was as throwaway as you consider mine to be. I was more convinced on my case regarding Mongoose and since I didn't have time to research anyone else, and had already made a case I went with that. Which is probably what you will say regarding your vote.

Of course Mongoose wants to see me lynched! Because I made a case that is pretty damn strong against her.

Linki: And it seems she is already making plans!

Rather than making a vote that actually counts? I fear that we are lynching a civ today, and I have been defending you, but this vote makes me think I may have been mistaken

You are not wrong about me, but I made a case against Mongoose and I really think I am right. In addition, there are 3 people left to vote. So lynch is not a done deal yet...

I just flew back to the thread to vote, and now I am off again.

I am sticking with my case against Mongoose. I really think she has to be one of the baddies.

*vote mongoose*

Okay, reading Mongoose (reading current to past atm) -

here she seems concerned about when people vote. Considering the role that the baddies purchased, is she anxious about the voting order?

and this caught my eye here possibly knows BWT is bad? Knows the goose is cooked so a bit of distancing going on?

Hmmm admits she looks suspect

decides to follow Hedge because well... isn't it obvious Hedge is civvie? sidle up to the civvie move right there...

When called out for her S~V~S vote by Hedge she responds that she had been thinking S~V~S was civvie - yet she still voted her?

Another post where she seems to say "don't trust me" here

And this is one of the types of posts that had me wondering if Mongoose was really working for the civvies since she seems to be trying to out them here

And I am out of time for now. Will finish up in a bit.

I am not seeing the Bullz suspicion... did I miss something?

Personally, I am still a little suspicious of Roxy, but since Hedge is saying that one or two of her voters could be bad... I have to lean towards the BWT suspicion.

He is not posting as much as he normally does so it is a little difficult to properly discern his allegiance. I am also not too sure about Mongoose either - some of her earlier posts seemed not so civvie. All I know, a this point, is that I am not bad and I think I trust Hedge and S~V~S.

I will read both BWT and Mongoose and decide who gets my vote.

too much linki!!!!

Hahaha! Excellent lynch result!

For the next realm, I picked the land of cheesecake!

I am so sorry.... Ugh! Time is not my friend right now, but at least this poll is at a better time for the rest of the week for me!

So, I am at a bit of a loss as to who I suspect - everyone is seeming pretty much civvie minded atm! However, in my quick review of a few people, I noticed that Roxy is suspicious of Hedgeowl here but I am not understanding why.

I see that some are suspecting that one of S~V~S, myself and Roxy are likely bad for voting Elo. I know I am not bad, and I am leaning strongly towards S~V~S being civvie, so that leaves Roxy.

I know she is not well and thus not able to properly defend, but since I don't have enough time right now to look at everyone, I may vote her. Cooking dinner right now... I will think about it and come back and vote in a bit.

Ugh, terrible result! Sorry Elo

Ugh, this time change on the posts is really messing me up. I hope my time shortage will be resolved in the next day or two...

Anyway, for now, I am eyeing Elo.

She has said she thinks I am bad for non-reasons - all of her accusations are based on me being quiet, which I have explained ad nauseum. She also says that I knew this was a 24hr game when I have stated multiple times that I did not. I gave the rundown of when I joined the game, and she insists that she knows me well enough to know that I am lying about what I said. Sorry, Elo, you do not know me well at all yet. She has no other actual reasons. If I had more time, I would post more. But I haven't had time. Hopefully, that is going to change soon. As an aside, I am also in another game - and also not posting much. I have limited time!!!! I also have other activities that I do in the few hours I have available. I haven't even had time to create a spreadsheet for this game!

What I think she is doing is a classic baddie activity, seed the thread with fake suspicion so that a name is mentioned multiple times and then this gets votes rolling in.

I am absolutely convinced that she is bad.

In fact, I am voting her now so I don't miss the vote *votes Elo*

Elo - once and for all... I did not know it was 24hrs. I didn't even know the game was in signups until Epi sent out a mass PM. When I followed the link to the sign up thread, the game was full, but Epi added me in and the game started. I did not read anything about the game prior to signing up.

Again, when I voted Desert, I simply picked the first option on the poll as I had done the day before. Still not sure why that was even an issue...

I have already explained WHY I am quiet. And I don't really know anything about the Mario game other than I played a mafia game based on it once. That is why I am not "knowledgeable" on the subject matter.

I haven't even set up a spreadsheet yet.

I am confused as to why I was almost lynched....

Oh, and I voted Pipe in the other poll.

Okay, I see Mongoose says that me answering his/her question is fishy? Umm... what? You and Elo sound remarkably similar in your posts concerning me, and I find that disquieting. Both reasons for voting me are so bogus... and not actually real reasons at all.

So, since I find this kinda odd, I will go ahead and vote one of the two.

*flips coin*

*vote Mongoose*

I'm really at a loss at who to vote for at the moment. I ave my suspicions, but I'm not sure my pings are enough to go on. LT has been very quiet. Can you tell me why I shouldn't vote for you, LT?

I already explained why I seem quiet. As I said before, I really dislike 24hr days as I do not have much time each day to play (had I known it was 24hr days, I wouldn't have signed up), I sleep late, go to bed early and have other interests that I pursue during the few hours I have online. My online time is also limited based on when my husband is around as he doesn't like me being on the computer all the time - this game started on one of those time periods.

I am just now waking up, I will decide who to vote after I have had my coffee and read a few people.

Congrats on solving the mini-game! I haven't even looked at it yet...

I want to be sympathetic and understanding. I agree with you that these 24 hour days go by quick. However, I am still suspicious of you for what seems like odd behavior to me. If you wouldn't have signed up knowing it was a speed game, then I guess you won't be too upset if you get lynched.

*Votes Little Tiger*

Wow! So, you will lynch a civvie based on not liking 24hr speed games? And what odd behaviour?

I am pretty surprised at your reasoning for voting me, tbh.

RIP Nevinera!

Elohcin wrote:So sorry, Snowy. I really hope you get a good amount of coins and get back in the game soon. I really thought you were trying too hard to look civ. I guess you are just hard to read. I am voting to give you coins as well as gleam. And, I also voted for mongoose and hedgeowl as I believe they are civ.

LT, I almost forgot you were playing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember reading many posts from you which is not your normal playing style. Are you lying low?

No, I am not laying low. Just not enough time to post much due to 24hr days, and only a few hours per day to play mafia.

Mongoose wrote:I just noticed this, but it wouldn't have changed my vote for today:

Little Tiger voted for Desert World today for our next destination. Why would she do that when Gleam/Desert King is already dead? I don't want to make a mountain out of molehill, LT, but any elucidation would be awesome. Thanks!

Well, maybe he won't stay dead? Also, I actually just picked the first option on the poll as I did with the one before it and didn't even think about the fact that he was dead...

RIP Snow Dog!

I will also give coins to the two dead civvies, and 1 to Russtifinko as I agree, he seems pretty civvie atm... and... hmmm.... I will give the other one to Roxy.

Yes, I think I agree with Roxy on this.... *votes Lizzy* and especially in light of her latest posts.

Oh boy! Smashing good game. I dare you to play it in the dark with headphones on.

I shall try that! maybe tonight....

I don't want to vote anyone - you are all so much fun!!!!

I still feel that something is off with Nevinera and his gleam vote. The fixation on getting to water world by Lizzy and Vomps is a little disconcerting. Then there are Hedgeowl's observations regarding Snow Dog and Water world, but why not mention Lizzy and Vomps as well?

Linki:

Ugh... so much to catch up on and not enough time! Did I mention that I hate 24hr days?

As an aside, I just finally joined Steam and purchased Bioshock and Bioshock 2 - and I totally blame MP for that!

Right, going to read and then decide who to vote and where to go on the map....

And just to add to reasoning for my Nevinera vote - he also voted Dark which seems nefarious to me!

I voted Desert in the map poll.

Okay, so it seems to me that a bandwagon just started rolling and to me, it looks like Nevinera got it rolling. I really don't see what was wrong with gleam using the term "elaborate ruse" regarding Vomp and Lizzy's obvious friendly banter.

Therefore, since this is a speed game, I am going with a gut vote on Nevinera for opportunistic bandwagon vote.

*vote Nevinera"

Ugh - just realized this is 24hr days, which I hate

Need to catch up and see who will get my vote.

OMG a bazillion linkis... which I will read in a bit.

Is there something wrong with Water? I didn't really know what to choose, so I went with my astrological sign - plus, I like water....

i didnt know what to choose either so inread the roles and noticed sev eral baddies votes will count as 4 if we are in a water area/land. so hence my wondering about water voters.

Oh!!!!!!!!! I hadn't even noticed that LOL! I need to go read through all the roles again and get a spreadsheet going....
