The Syndicate

Consider: He voted there Day 1. If credibility was his concern, I'd think he'd be mindful to vote there again. It would not have been hard to do.

Eh you don't have to agree with my mindset, I welcome the debate but I you'll need to be more clear about what you're arguing against? I presume you are saying that there is too much room for mafia AND civs to hide their votes on the wagon but I thought I was pretty clear in identifying the specific ways in which they do it and what that means.

I don't suspect Sokoth. It is admittedly circumstantial, but I believe he just missed the vote. Trying to extend it to Sokoth trying to keep his hands clean of the matter seems unnecessary to me.

Like I'm plans-within-plans superdevious. Kind of refreshing to be accused of being a baddie with such a sloppy no-plan.

Nothing sloppy about this case on you fam.

I'm pretty certain you didn't read that correctly.

A pretty big salad here. I'm surprised nobody called him out for it, at least from what I've read, since salads are an apparent scum tell in this forum.

I'll fully read the thread when I wake up.

I mean, gosh, didn't like...Dragomir point out the "salad" thing and comment on how it's "an apparent scum tell in this forum?"

Almost like...gee let me think...he wanted The Syndicate to...I don't know...run with it?

Or maybe I was taking notice of how nobody pointed that out since I've been told that it is a scum tell on this forum? Ever thought of that?

To what end? If nobody on this forum noticed it or said anything about it, why did you?

nutella wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:22 pm Like... and epi did this too, the implication that my and drago's token opposition qualified as the token opposition despite the fact it was because of the lack of opposition, and thus writing off the creature lynch as fine... It's so awkward and contrived and makes me think LC (and maybe epi) is scum who saw us object and were like, "hell yeah some townies protested the creature lynch so it looks better now and they will look bad." It was so unnecessary for him to say that if he was actually reconsidering it.

"She literally sheeped the wagon on Creature"

Phrases you never thought you'd ever hear in a hundred years for $100, Alex.

I read "Womanized Pumpkin."

I need sleep.

Here's why Creature is evil:

1. He softly named a bunch of people he could vote for and gave no reasons for any of them.
2. He attached my name to the end of the list, as though I had some important leadership role in guiding it, which in turn could be used against me should indiglo appear civilian. It had no civilian utility, but had plenty of use for mafia.
3. His reaction to the votes was not a concerned effort to find mafia: It was to give another list.
4. His teammates saw he was in trouble and washed their hands of him.
5. He's given up.

juliets wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 4:45 pm Epi, I don't know that you will get to this in time but why did you drop your suspicion of Wligy?

No reason.

nutella and Dragomir:

"There's no one protesting Creature's lynch."

"Yeah, it's too easy."

"He's probably good then right?"

"Let's protest it!"

I am four pages behind, but I am adding my vote to Creature. I saw "MacDougall, sabie12, Sokoth and maybe indiglo if we decide to follow Epi" and to hell with that. Why am I the one responsible for where other people vote?

Meanwhile we have to vote for someone today and it's going to be hard if people aren't posting content. So far nobody has said anything I can make a read off of yet. Does anyone have anything they think looks suspicious?

Today is my birthday by the way and I'm in another game too so I will be in and out.

Happy birthday!
I am suspicious of this Mac guy for now, because of the way he entered this day phase. He either knows something or he plays with us. I see it as a not wisemove to list yourself as town, that way he might approach us to trust him, but the nr 1 rule is not to trust anyone. I would vote off someone like him, so I expect him to tell us why he lists himself as town and this while we have no information.

[VOTE: Rej] aubergine

I'm serious with this vote.

What are you doing?

nutella wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 9:12 pm Crap so sorry I missed so much guys. The game only became active while I was occupied with other stuff and I had to just come in and put a vote somewhere and missed the rest of EOD. When I came in I barely understood what was going on but I townread most of the active people, and I couldn't even remember who all was playing so indi was the only person who stuck out as remotely suspicious for that early post about the d0 poll. Hard to say who I would have ended up I had I been around for that chaotic EOD but sad to see sabie go.

This sounds like a load of shit.

You don't have to remember who all was playing. You scroll to the top of the page that tells you.

That said, I don't think there should be a single-minded focus on sabie voters.

Of the sabie voters, I suspect Matahari and Long Con the most. I don't suspect bird at all.

I am sorry I was cooking and eating my supper at this time. I can promise you I would have tried to dissuade people from voting sabie. Bad timing.

An unsurprising response which makes me further beleive I'm correct.

What makes me comfortable friend? I'm curious as to how my expected reason why I think you are voting me lines up with actuality.

You're mafia, friend.

I'd rather lynch Wilgy than Creature or sabie.

Why are we voting just based on one post?

I'm quite surprised nutella jumped onto indiglo like that.

I know absolutely nothing.

Cars run over cats all the time.
Green Bay Packers run over cats all the time (see: Bengals, Panthers).
Space will destroy a cat because there is nothing for cats to land on with their clawed feet.

I pick space, because cars need space to go, and the Packers need space to run, and space needs space to be space.
