The Syndicate

HamburgerBoy wrote:"Currently" just means "at present", which is clearly the case if we're talking about the most recent nightkill, even if it was only a single one. Not to mention that it assumes a scumteam made some kind of mandate that they are going to exclusively kill low-posters in the future; I seriously doubt a scumteam would be that inflexible. That case looks like a forced "scumslip" that rarely actually catches someone, and from what I can tell, people have a habit of doing it to sig with poor results. Note that Long Con, who flipped scum day 2, was going after sig for that.

This is an interesting perspective Hamburger Boy. Have you seen this done to sig other than the one time you point out with Long Con?

I think Bullz catch of sig was a meaty catch. I know this was just said but I too am interested in what sig has to say about it. One point does not make a trend line with which to infer that the mafia are behaving in any certain way.

The big difference I see between that and Lorab's comment is she was just talking about the one point and did not try to extrapolate from data that was not there. I know you said similar splints I just wanted to point out that one difference.

Well my wonderful husband took care of candy and decorations so I have a little time on my hands. Nutella, I am currently looking at Matt's case on you and your response plus your posting history.

Please see the underlined in the passage below. What were those odd inconsistencies that you saw in her posts?

nutella wrote:@Matt- you might be reading some things into my timing. I couldn't stick around for the last 20 minutes of the vote, I had to get going and was feeling some time pressure. I saw the mention of Sorsha, and looked through her posts, and it really shouldn't surprise you that that took less than eight minutes, since she had so few. But even in those few minutes I saw some odd inconsistencies in her post history that were enough to merit a vote. I do remember there being a tie at the time but I didn't feel like I had any reason to vote for or against any of those people and decided to let it play out, see who would try to save whom. So then I voted for Sorsha right after posting that second post, and then *after* voting I saw the point on Bubbles, and I wanted to wait until I heard back from her and obviously wasn't going to switch my vote then and there, I just thought it was a point worth remarking on.

Hope that clears it up for you. It is quite odd that Sorsha never acknowledged my suspicion of her.

Floyd, I don't want you to think I have forgotten that you still haven't responded to me about Matt and Mac from yesterday. I still think the question is relevant and so I'm asking I believe for the third time for you to give me an answer.

Mac, I'm surprised at you. The hosts put together a great game and just because your pick doesnt get picked (if they don't) that's no reason to disrespect their game by just phoning it in. I probably should put this in green because its a more personal note than a game note.

Today my plan is to read back over all the Dom info starting with Epi's post which as i recall was a pretty good case for day 1. My overall thought though is Dom was behaving in line with his meta. I don't know any tells for him being bad though so I want to re-examine what others have been saying. Right now if i were to do a rainbow list he would be in the middle. Secondly, I need to look closely at nutella. I haven't quite grasped what the problem is with her posting but thats just because I have not been back to re-read her and her accusers. There hasn't been as much behavior from her as from Dom so i expect the case to be somewhat weaker. And finally, I need to re-read SVS and her accusers. I've re-read some things already and Mac I know you feel strongly about her but I'm not understanding what she has specifically done or said to cause your suspicions. If you have already detailed your suspicions and I glossed over them my apologies. If you want to point me to them or explain that would be much appreciated.

Also, RIPIYWG Timmer. I hate to see you go as a person and regret that you couldnt participate more.

Today is a 3-alarm day for me. The Halloween decorations aren't up, I have no candy, and i need to run a ton of errands. I may not be back on today until late to catch up. Tomorrow I should be able to dedicate the whole day to mafia.

I'm voting for Spock.

Sorry Banana, RIP. My reasons for voting you just weren't right as it turns out. Please come back and play with us again.

Mac, your confusion makes me wonder how much of the thread you have read.

Floyd, you referencing posts in both threads makes me wonder how much of the thread you have read.

Fine, go ahead, vote for me.

Oh, wait.

Floyd I just want to clarify: is this also the answer to my questions of you about Matt and Mac? Maybe I have missed it but I don't see anything else that looks like an answer.

Banana, speaking of asking questions you still have not answered my question from yesterday even though you were here to make fun of Mac's post and could have answered it then. Are you just going to ignore me and try to make the question about your vote go away? I think I'll throw a vote your way until you answer me and then I'll see if the answer explains things for me.

Epig, thanks for your very thorough explanation it gives me points to think about. I also noticed that question about nutella lurking and felt the question should have been the one you posed. Could his question have been a soft defense? Maybe so. On the other side of the coin I know I share Dom's penchant for asking questions as it's the best way for me to baddie hunt, so can I really blame him for not asking the exact question I would have asked? Maybe so since it looks like you saw the same question as being pertinent. I'll go back and take a look at Dom's posts and reflect on your other thoughts as well.

Epig and now MetalMarsh. Why are you voting for Dom? I haven't seen anything I would consider even a ping. What am I missing?

Banana, I dont understand. What has he done exactly to cause an argument? What arguments are you talking about?

Banana you were just here but didnt answer my questions so here is a reminder in case you're still around. I persevere when people don't answer my questions so might as well do it now.

Floyd, while you're here I'd like to get an answer to my questions about Matt and Mac. You can't use the Mac confusion issue for the answer about him because that came after you declared you were having a hard time deciding between the two of them.

TheFloyd73 wrote:Ugh, I'm finding it hard choosing between Matt and Mac.

Why would you vote for Matt? Why would you vote for Mac?

Turnip Head, you forgot to take your vote off of me.

Bullzeye wrote:Didn't mean to press submit just yet. I have several favourite genres of music and felt that rather than pick one I'd just pick something different. I don't see why it should have to mean something.

It doesn't. It just caught my eye because it was different. No thoughts of voting you for it or anything.

Banana why did you vote for buglabush? He or she hasn't said a word. Neither have you for that matter. Please explain.

Turnip Head wrote:Obviously not something I can act on toDay, but this post by Bullz caught my hindsight eye. It feels like the least genuine vote for Prog.

Bullzeye wrote:Voting Prog not because it's my favourite. Nor is it my least favourite. It's the only option in the poll I have absolutely no opinion on either way and that makes it noteworthy to me.

Everyone else voted for their favorite option on Day 0. Bullzeye voted for a "noteworthy" one.

I also noticed this as we went through Day 0 because the instructions were to vote for your favorite. Why didn't you just follow the directions Bullz?

Also TH I'm sorry I forgot about the trade. i will go answer that right after this post.

Matt F I truly don't understand why you voted for yourself. Can you give us the reason you did that? It's too early to give up and by voting yourself you are likely to attract others to vote for you (in fact I think you have). So, why did you do it?

Hello everyone!

I'm caught between rock, alternative, and other because there are so many things I like that I don't know what category they are in. I think I'll go rock though since I presume that includes classic rock and that's a big chunk.
