The Syndicate

Kyle is all over the place being like I'm not gonna read anything and then explaining what the rule is then accusing creature out of nowhere who had assumed they knew them from some other site. It's a strange interaction. What response are you looking for?
I think either one of them could be bad because they're both acting weird but I'm really not familiar with either of them or their play style. Mac has been uncharacteristically quiet this game.

sabie, you say you think either of them could be bad because they are both acting strange but then go on to say you're not familiar with either of them or their play style. I just don't understand that at all. Strange as compared to what? Also, I would think you would know by now but maybe you've missed it, Mac is from the other side of the world and is asleep during the day when we are all posting. He's always quiet during the day, it's not uncharacteristic.

For the dense among us (maybe thats just me) can you tell us why that post is vote-worthy? Or are you joking and it's really that she never came back and posted again?

I originally voted "Space" because it's clearly the best option, but after reading Daisy's post, I have changed to "Cars" because it needs more votes. I would encourage the extra "Space" voters to also change. Unless you really want your cubicle decorated with extra votes during Day 1. It looks like we're going to have to read Daisy's posts very carefully in this game!

Voting indiglo.

Can't tell if because of no-show or something else.

I'm kicking it right now.

It isn't vote-worthy. It's a vote to have a vote up there and it's on someone who has one post.

Ok thank you!

Creature wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 4:57 pm also alphabetical order looks like a mafia tell.

Question - is this really a thing? Putting a list in alphabetical order is a Mafia Tell?

I usually do that because I fear players would try to read my order if it's non-alphabetical.

You guys, he used the exact same order as Daisy used when she named those people as far as I can see.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 5:13 pm my reasoning is that he seems anxious, he made posts about how there's been nothing going on and how it's bothered him but hasn't made much personal effort to stir discussion up himself. he's made offhand comments but no running comments until basically an hour ago. that's not to say he's the only one in that boat but he sticks out to me because of that/ it seems disingenuous.

Kyle, when I looked at Daisy's post that began the day it was posted at 7:18 my time (eastern daylight) so I'm assuming this phase would end sometime around then.

I am not at all sure who to vote for. No one is standing out to me so far. I'll look over your point on Creature, Kyle.

nutella wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 1:44 pm I thought maybe Mac's thinking was that scum would be more likely to read the rules thoroughly and to want to be careful to avoid the extra vote thing. And I say this as a civilian who read the rules thoroughly but also I just voted early enough that it didn't matter lol.

That makes perfect sense based on what I know of the way Mac thinks.

birdwithteeth11 wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 1:16 pm Honestly, that's something I wouldn't mind exploring further. The hostess clearly stated that there needed to be an equal number of votes for each option. Are we really going to believe that 7 people just didn't read that clarification?

If I have time this afternoon, I want to go back and explore that.

That's an interesting thought. It used to happen all the time back in the olden days of mafia but I haven't seen it done recently. I don't have time today to go back and explore it but let us know if you see anything.

juliets wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 11:59 am Isn't Mac just listing the people who got assessed a vote for not voting correctly? I didn't take his post seriously.

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.

Thanks Rej!

I've given my opinion about why Mac names those names so it's probably best if others tell you what they see (it would be best if Mac explained himself but he is in a time zone where he is asleep during our daylight hours and probably will not get here until late this afternoon). I will also say that a lot of times when I see people give a list of who they think is good they include themselves, which makes no sense to me but I wanted to alert you that happens regularly on this site. Anyway, hopefully others will arrive soon and we can continue this discussion and get other discussions going as well.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:25 am are any of these things involved in the show in any way?

I don’t know either, because I’ve never watched it. But I do think some of us are going to get moved off the choice we made. We have 6 people on space, and I think we’re only supposed to have 4.

It sounds like it matters what order you voted so if the order is correct then you and epi would have to move to a different option so as not to get a vote put on you if I'm reading that right.

I was the third voter on Space, but for some weird reason, the poll doesn’t keep the names in the true order.

You're right mata it doesn't track voting order though Daisy and crew are working on fixing that. Thats why I said in the thread who was on "Cats" when we went to three and then to four votes, so there would be no confusion with that particular category. Daisy must be putting the pieces together from reading the thread because she can't tell by just looking at the poll.

Hi Dragomir, what are you seeing in this post by Rej that causes you to vote for him?

Epi has never been more correct in his life.

He's town. Someone fight me on this.

Let me find some boxing gloves...

Are you serious or just fooling around at this point? I can never tell with you.

I'm serious. I've not seen epi enter a thread this civvi before in my life. You got beef?

I laughed at Epi's post but it seemed NAI to me.

Feel free to do something about it if you don't like it. A lot of players haven't checked in yet, probably because it's the weekend and people are out enjoying themselves.

Rej wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:02 pm Oh so we will have drawbacks like no extra votes, and the others will have extra votes? that's actually brutal :sweatwipe:

Haha, Daisy is full of little extra twists in games!

@Rej welcome to the syndicate mafia!

Thanks Juliet!

Why you don't understand the space thing? I want to see galaxies and stars inside my cubicle. It also counts in space-cats.

The thing I don't understand is the instructions in the OP says the selections have to be spread evenly or there will be consequences. Space has 7 people voting for it (when I last looked) so that's too many. Go back to her explanation from her in the OP, I'm probably not explaining it well.

So cats has exactly 4: nutella, Kyle, me, bwt. Looking good. Not understanding the Space thing though.

[mention]Rej[/mention] welcome to the syndicate mafia!

Whew, only 3 on cats.

so I know nothing about this show. I was going to watch an episode but the game snuck up on me, so I may have some dumb questions.

I'm taking cat unless there are too many already
