The Syndicate

Ladies and gentlemen,

You caught me. There's no way out of this situation — your deduction has been flawless, leaving no way for scum to escape or mount an effective defense.

I hereby resign from the Game of Champions. Congratulations, civs.

Yours in devilry,
Boomslang

Sure, because with literally no other mafia left, I'd willingly miss a kill. Ya'll are crazy.

I have literally nothing to add to this discussion. You all have beaten this game to death. Vote Kyle aubergine

yuck

So I get yuck when I don't vote Kyle, and I get yuck when I do vote Kyle because I agree with Epi's logic. I can't win. And you wonder why I'm not talking much.

Dammit, Epi's analysis is airtight. Vote Kyle aubergine

Scotty has been supertown this whole game, can't get that mad at him for complaining about my low engagement recently. Trying to get caught up, but also going out of town again this weekend :/

Why should he be judged for joining a train? Also, I’ve been supatowning this whole game. But don’t worry, you avoided both trains yesterday, and I’m suddenly not a supatown at all in your eyes.

Oh, here’s something funny.

Guess who didn’t post at all on N10?
Guess who didn’t “show up” to kill someone N10?



Awful coincidences, don’t you think?

Ok, this is a major stretch. If I were bad, you think that I wouldn't instruct my teammates to send in a kill on a day I knew I wasn't going to be around? Why do I have to be the one to send in the kill? You're making assumptions to fit your narrative and calling them "revelations."

I'm no even. I destroyed
Long Con. But good try.

Long Con destroyed himself with the slip. As Quin pointed out in Pikachu, "No reason that LC couldn't have slipped, realised, and then told his scumbuddy Dom to bus him while LC pushes hard against him for that extra bit of civ credit."

Out of an extremely limited pool of suspects?

Also we also almpst lynched you, didn't we? Are we just going to forget about that as well?

NO U Vote colonialbob aubergine.

This vote got me lynched.

Uh, no. That's like saying a vote for Ralph Nader got George Bush elected — you got lynched because there were more people who wanted you dead than who wanted Kyle dead. I don't think either of you are bad, GTH, so I voted for a third party. It'd be more accurate to say that INH's vote got you lynched, because he actually broke the tie, but any of your voters are worthy of scrutiny.

GTH reads:

Boomslang: civ (duh)
Colonialbob: bad (Strex due to Wilgy interactions)
Dom: bad (Even because Cbob is Strex; missed vote in close lynch yesterday)
DDL: civ (due to nightkill without much thread suspicion)
Epi: civ (supatown)
INH: civ (weakest civ read given voting record)
Kyle: civ (assuming I'm right about Scotty)
Quin: civ or indy (due to nightkill, role)
Scotty: bad (Even due to POE, willingness to bus Speedchuck during Wilgy lynch)
Sloonei: civ (supatown)
Spacedaisy: civ (authentic Wilgy celebration)
SVS: civ (generally helpful and thoughtful contributions)

colonialbob wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 7:52 am Sloonei dancing around the "why is SD town" question makes me want to vote for him.

For once, Cbob says something with which I agree. It's not that hard to provide a solid reason for SD as civ. I think that's the case, for example, based on her play towards Wilgy and good vote/role analysis.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 9:46 pm Sloonei could be an Evil Even. No question there. He's compatible, and I think some of the evidence brought against him regarding his activity in the other thread is noteworthy.

Question for the field:

If you are LC's teammate in Cerberus, and you know he fucked up by naming your thread, what do you do?

I don't see how you orchestrate a save in that situation. You know LC's lynch is a foregone conclusion, so you try to play in the other thread as if you didn't know that was going on. "I don't know — fly casual."

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 6:02 pm Doh: This line: "Why would flipping after first death make any sense to include as a mechanic in that case," from Booms vote post.

All that's in the rules is this: "It is possible for players to change win conditions or affiliations." The mechanic is therefore not certain to be included in the game. And, given the lynch result, it certainly wasn't the case for spirityo. The host rules don't "refute" any of my opinions.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 5:38 am Oh nvm about voting for LC. Sprit said that, not Boom. But still that post is way icky.

And sprit, you were still sprit 1.0 when you voted for LC, right?

Can you give any more details about your response to my post other than that you think it's "way icky"? Because that's not a criticism that I can actually respond to.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 10:02 pm So you believe colonialbob is a fourth Strex?

Yes. I think your analysis effectively eliminates him from being an Even, and we haven't gotten a host message saying that Strex has been eliminated.

That’s a great question figuring I’ve voted to lynch every single member of the mafia we’ve lynched

And you were presumably killee by the evens.

Agreed 100%. I'm also very skeptical of the whole civ-to-mafia flip thing given that alignments are only revealed after second death. Why would flipping after first death make any sense to include as a mechanic in that case, especially with the already unusual length of this game?

But enough about conjectures. It's a difference of opinion, but I don't like Cbob calling this flip theory "reasonable." Scotty pulls good info on a cbob-Lorab connection as well.

SVS's response to spirit's defense feels like civ-on-civ perspective disagreement, too. There's too much passion to be mafia calculation.

Going to park my aubergine on Vote colonialbob for now.

Alright, Blooper and I are back from the beach. And I see some bullshit is happening with the lynch candidates, and that it involves me. Gonna take a nap, eat some food, and figure out what to do about this later tonight.

At beach. Following Epi's lead Vote Lorab aubergine.

why these two? and if I asked you to pick the stronger candidate, which would you choose?

Argh, misread the polls; I'd thought both colonialbob and sig were on the "first voted Speedchuck and then Wilgy" train. Cbob did do a Speedchuck to worthless DH vote, however. Not sure if the context of the DH kill adds any more information about that vote, given that we still have two mafia teams still out.

I'd say sig is the stronger candidate. His "sticking to his guns" comment gaslights people who are questioning him over Sloonei suspicion; it strikes me as someone who's caught in a slip doubling down. Also, "Plus mafia hasn't targeted him which i really dislike" is pouring a nice tall glass of WIFOM.

Would you be willing to start a sig wagon?

Well, it looks like you started it for me. Votes sig aubergine.

colonialbob wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 1:50 pm @Boomslang um I was responding to *other people* speculating on mechanics/recruitment and I think I made two posts about it. Why not call out Sloonei or SVS for the same thing?

Because Sloonei actually voted Wilgy twice in a row, while SVS didn't vote him either time? You're the only one of those three with the switcheroo vote record; that, combined with the mechanics misdirection, makes me unhappy.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Mar 30, 2018 2:56 pm Who do you want to lynch today?

I think colonialbob and sig are the strongest candidates.

Reading through as quickly as I can instead of meeting my deadline for the local paper... #justmafiathings. Also, drinking beer because Good Friday monk diet.

Super glad that the Wilgy flip turned out correctly. Spacedaisy's celebration reads so authentic as opposed to "look at me I'm civ and got this right" that I'm basically willing to clear her at this point. She's wrong about me being involved in the Blooper kill, but I still think she's town.

Sloonei's SVS case reads weirdly to me. He's essentially criticizing her for calling him supatown; he may be less active in this thread, but he was the driving force in Cerberus. My gut says SVS was a civ just pushing buttons to generate responses there. However, he's right about sig delivering player salad, as well as his weird "even the playing field" comment. And Scotty chips in with good vote analysis of a Wilgy/Sig connection.

Colonialbob is diving deep into mechanics discussion and hypotheticals about recruitment, which I don't see as particularly helpful. This game is complicated enough as is without that mechanic, and I think he's trying to muddy the pot.

I think Epi's on the right track with vote analysis for Wilgy/Speedchuck. Who joined the train when it was truly inevitable to avoid standing out? And that leads us to Colonialbob and sig as well.

Whoa, Blooper reveal! Glad I'm living with a goodie two-shoes :P

Not changing my mind from last time. Vote Wilgy aubergine

Shiii gotta vote, been drinking at my wedding shower with Blooper all day. Vote Wilgy aubergine FINISH HIM

Dom wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:27 am Actually... yes... only... just looked and couldn't find any mention of boomslang other than the vote.


So....

I do find it ironic that he jumped on a counterwagon that formed because I was, to people who didn't know my history with Wilgy this game, jumping on a wagon.

Ok, reading this thing. I had reasons to vote Wilgy in the previous thread, and I encourage you to review my ISO there for said thoughts. In this thread, come on — he has nothing else, so comes in swinging at me.

I am now back from vacation. Someone catch me up.

Oh nice timing hai

Can you still view the other thread where everyone was holding you at gunpoint?

Maybe give us some reads right quick

Yeah I can. Can't say I read any of it though, only noticed y'all wanted to murder me to super death and back.

Shit, the only thing I'm still clinging to the thoughts I had on Boomslang a week ago which was a bad read.

I like Sloonei's responses to SVS's questions. He reads as reasonable and civ-oriented, and I feel better about him now that the tribes have combined and he's no longer going for the lynch just to be lynching.

Epi's analysis of my interactions with Marmot is spot-on. DH's obsession with speedchuck is not. SVS says it succinctly with "If nutellas role did not have that "cannot target a teammate" line, I would be right at the front of the pitchfork line, DH."

Obviously, I don't like anyone voting me for joining a train on a reasonable case. Cbob, that means you. Scotty has been supertown this whole game, can't get that mad at him for complaining about my low engagement recently. Trying to get caught up, but also going out of town again this weekend :/

Following the train, because I've fallen off of it. Vote Wilgy aubergine.

Woo, game part two! Electric Boogaloo!
