The Syndicate

Actually, scratch that. Now that I know you're joking, Devin, my eye is on you.

A civilian Devin would have wanted to protect himself. A mafia Devin has others to help him... so tell me, sir, do you need my help on Day 1?

The very fact that you want a 1 Day truce indicates to me that you possibly could be hiding something.

A day one truce would be more beneficently for the mafia imo. If each mafia team can kill and if any independents have kill stocks we could be down without any information on day one.
@MovingPictures07 why do you think a day one truce would be good?

It was more of a joking suggestion from me, cus we normally go after each other pretty early. Unless everyone else is going after MP, then I try (unsuccessfully) to defend him

This is true.

And then when you usually start getting a bunch of heat, I try (unsuccessfully) to defend you.

Thinking about it, it seems to me that our suspicions of each other may be dependent on how much heat the other person is receiving. The less heat you are receiving, the more I suspect you, and vice versa. :P

Before this gets blown out of proportion and either Devin or I gets eyeballed because people are misinterpreting my posts for anything other than Day 0 sillyness, I am going to lay all of this out there.

Devin offered me a truce. I don't entertain any "truce" seriously; of course, I'll be voting for the player I most suspect on Day 1 (except a newbie***), and if I think that player is Devin, then I will vote for him. I have no propensity to vote for him at the moment, despite his truce comment, as I was merely joking with him. I think he would have said this regardless of alignment.

Devin and I know each other RL (well, almost a year ago I moved to Texas) and have a propensity to get ourselves killed early in games very often, so I made a comment in the sign-ups thread to the effect of 'maybe we can play a game together for longer than 1 cycle :P '. This is because Devin recently returned to playing mafia after over a year of not really playing, and I self-destructed (as an independent role) in the only game we've played together since he has come back.

***I would like to avoid voting a player completely new to The Syndicate on Day 1. I used to very vocally oppose those who took this view, but I have recently come around to this line of thinking. I do think it would suck to come to a new site and get lynched Day 1 your first game, so newbies will get a "free pass" from me, but only from my vote (not any suspicion I have), and if they are my top suspect going into Day 2, I will not hesitate to vote for a newbie.

TL;DR, sig, I agree with you that Day 1 'vote truces' accomplish nothing good for the town.

Where did I say I thought it would be good?

Yay game!!

I'm very excited to get to play this game with all of you!

Nice post, MM. I'm not a Broadway fan (sorry, Dom, I'm sure I'll still love this game), but I do love me some Iron Maiden.

I'm picking 13 because 13 and 7 are my favorite/lucky numbers, and 7 is already taken.
