The Syndicate

motel room, I wish you the best of luck! You can do it!

MM, I'd like access to the Spectator Chat please.

It's been a pleasure being mafia with both of you.

No worries!

Pretty sure I'll be bussing you mate.

Either way, kill Epi is our best move. At least that's how im thinking atm.

Yeah, I think you're right. Let's kill him.

MM, we'd like to kill Epignosis.

As to the poll, on it now.

It's been a fun and totally wild ride, MM. I thought we were boned from the start of Day 1, so I'm glad we managed to pull out a comeback for this long. Best of luck to you, motel room!

I'll probably switch over to the spectator chat once I die, so may not see you both again until endgame, but I'll be watching.

Welcome to you're doom.

Honestly, at the start of Day 5, I'll probably sacrifice myself immediately and not post; I don't want to leave any more breadcrumbs.

Also, yeah... bus me. I'm doomed. Lol.

But anyway its been fun you guys! (i still hate being scum)

Good luck!

Before we jump right into killing Epi... let's think it through. If we leave him alive, he'll case me hard. But maybe we're OK with that?

Again, all we need is a civilian to vote for another civilian.

Would anyone legitimately buy that Diiny and Epi were teammates, or is that too unlikely?

motel room wrote:hi

I legit got hijacked at work to pick up xmas decorations from storage. But I dont know what I would have done differently. Probably bussed Diiny before sig got on but who knows.

RIP Diiny. You held the heat all game man.

Um kill Epi?

Indeed, props for lasting as long as you did, Diiny.

Diiny wrote:I mean, I think motel room shouldn't bus you because it's so expected

I agree there as well. It'd be probably unnecessary and the marginal benefit in potential cred isn't worth it.

We only need a civilian to vote off in one lynch or the other, so hopefully we can pull it off. If we can't, I've enjoyed this game and look forward to playing more with both of you.

Diiny wrote:I'd mistake epi for scum if I were town, no question. Does he always play like this?

His behavior isn't particularly off-meta, but he does vary it up a bit.

Diiny wrote:Maybe you shouldn't even bus MP. It'd be too obvious at this point.

linki: The pleasure's all mine

linki linki: I have no idea what's wrong with sig and why epi's being so bad

I doubt I'm going to bus motel room.

I presume we kill Epi, but I'm willing to consider other options that wouldn't cause my lynch tomorrow. We should have killed Floyd earlier, I guess, so I'd be willing to kill him too.

Thankfully, I highly doubt there's no doctor, so we still have two more Days to get that one civilian to vote somewhere.

Diiny wrote:Jesus.

I'd like to think that mac would've voted with us.

I was shocked he didn't come back.

I was nervous as hell all cycle, trying to figure out what the best way to go would be. We only needed one civilian to fall somewhere that wasn't us. Argh.

That backfired, but it was worth the risk IMO. If we lose, I just want to say it was a pleasure being on a team with both of you.

Aghhhhhhhhhhblarggggggggg.

Lol, let's hope not. I highly doubt there's a doctor at this point, but you never know!

Diiny wrote:Boys, this may be the last smoke I share with you as teammates. Well played so far, let's see if we can't end this shit today.



(bus my ass guys seriously don't hesitate as soon as your gut tells you do it)

You got it.

Here's hoping.

Diiny wrote:I'm going to be accused of killing zeb and I need to think of my response now.

Fug.

WIFOM. Low hanging fruit. etc. etc.

I think killing zebra gives us a better chance of ending this in flying colors; otherwise, don't think it matters. And if we have to bus Diiny, then there are many possible teammate angles regardless of whom we kill.

I'm here!

I hate making kills at this stage in the game; I don't want to make an error! But I think either one would serve us at this point. Let's just go with zebra and see where that takes us, how's that sound?

Probably Mac, since he's closest to consensus town read.

That's a good point. I don't even know whom I would protect tonight if I was the doctor.

It's a tough call, but I'd probably lean zebra at this point as well, just to see if we could win it in Day 4. We only need one vote to be cast incorrectly for the final tally to be manipulated in the eleventh hour. Can both of you be around at EoD Day 4?

Another thing to consider: zebra and Floyd will almost certainly vote Diiny. Mac could vote anywhere.

I think Diiny could be sacrificed for the greater good and mislynch(es) could follow, but that's just something I wanted to throw out there.

motel room wrote:hmm interesting.

I think Mac is the towniest seeming in the game atm but isnt Epi a bit antagonistic towards him? Or is it the other way

I think you're right. Epi did throw some heat at Mac, but I don't know if it'll still be there; otherwise, I don't think he has any heat from anyone. It's difficult to predict how Day 4 will unfold though.

I can see the argument that Mac is a dangerous one to have at LYLO (though I suppose this won't officially be LYLO due to MM's clarification), and I think there is definitely potential for reassessment after JJJ's flip... it's a tough call. I think the question in the end is: Are players more likely to (eventually) consider zebra as a suspect, or Mac?

Thanks, Diiny! Sorry I haven't checked in yet. I'm here now.

I'm a bit torn on the kill. I think Mac, zebra, sig, and even Floyd are good potential kills, but I am leaning the former two like you both mentioned. Let me mull over it for a bit here while I talk with my folks.

Diiny wrote:Yes, let's give Zeb hell for her vote.

MM, we would like to kill DFaraday.

Any kind of replacement would be a risk, but yeah, it could definitely be a different level of intensity based on who subs in. I still am leaning DF especially because I think it'll maximize the tinfoiling all around.

You alright with making it final?

I'm fine with killing zebra too if you all want. Which should we go with?

Diiny wrote:Slept on it and now I am actually considering JJJ. I reckon it'll make Epi look bad enough to be lynchabl, and then when mac goes for that lynch he'll look worse. Only other option for me is zeb.

JJJ is a possible choice, but I feel as though he may be lynchable, especially since he's one of the most easily-tinfoiled players in the whole game.

Call me crazy, but I'm actually leaning towards DFaraday. Why?

1) Completely untraceable, maximizes tinfoiling against JJJ, Floyd, Epi, zebra, and Mac, who are all going after each other. Doesn't discredit Epi's or Mac's theories one way or the other.
2) Although he's been a low contributor, I don't feel as though keeping him around gives us someone with easily lynchable status in the foreseeable cycle or two. Mac tried to get some momentum going that way, but I think he actually has a lesser chance of actually being lynched going into Day 3 than many other players in the game right now because so many theories are going around. I also don't know if players would want to lynch him during LYLO.
3) Solves the problem of MM having to replace him.

I realize it's a riskier NK, and not killing JJJ or some other master player could potentially backfire, but I think it still is the most attractive option for us given those facts. Thoughts? I'm not 100% sold, so I'm still considering Floyd, JJJ, and even zebra (though I think I lean least towards her of the four), but I'm definitely leaning this way for now.

I have to leave now, and I'll be at a party, but I'll make sure to sneak on my phone at some point super quickly just to make sure one of us has submitted a kill.

Diiny wrote:Let's withhold the NK.

I'm claiming doc.

LET'S DO IT.

I PROTECTED MAC DAY 1 BECAUSE HIS POST LYNCH VOTES SWUNG ME TO THINKING HE WAS GONNA GET TARGETED

An intriguing gambit, but it doesn't seem necessary, especially since:

1) You got some town cred over the past Day
2) Even if you get lynched tomorrow (or soon), your lynch will reflect badly upon certain players that aren't us (such as zebra for reading you as heavy scum but voting elsewhere Day 2, etc.).

I should get back to studying. I'll pop back on either in a few hours or sometime tomorrow. Let me know what you think of those four options (pros/cons, maybe?), and I'll think on it as well. Curious what motel room thinks too.

Diiny wrote:Zeb is an option, but she will suffer because of her really weird vote. what was up with that? I feel like she defended wilgo all game

I was thinking that too, and that way I wouldn't have to come up with reasons to suspect her, probably after conducting an ISO.

You're right though that she could be a potential lynchee, especially after that vote.

Diiny wrote:I think it's fair to say there's no doc, btw.

We're not killing any of those three. Mac J and Epi are off the list.

linki: yeha I'm gonna fight him a bit over my iso because tbh there genuinely is some stuff he missed

I agree; I'd be surprised if there was a doctor at this point. Glad we went with the Sorsha N1 kill; it was worth the risk.

Agreed with Mac, JJJ, and Epi being off the list. That leaves a2thezebra, DFaraday, FZ., and TheFloyd73.

I'd lean toward keeping FZ. around; I think she is lynch worthy. She can be scary when she is on point, but she's definitely off the mark so far this game, and it's worked in our favor. I could consider any of the other three, I think. Need to mull over it.

Sounds good, go for it.

FYI my activity during Day 3 will suck, since it will end the evening before my big final exam, so I'll be in major crunch time. I'll see what I can do though (and I always inevitably get pulled into playing more than I should).

Diiny wrote:JJJ defending motel room, WEW.

Mac saying I'm good? YEAH. toned it down this game day phase played pretty good I thought, was very happy to read that.

Those were both huge victories. I was nervous about JJJ conducting the ISOs, but it worked out. Props.

Alright, so let's discuss potential Night 2 kill targets. This could be a game changer, so I want to make sure we kill the right guy. What are your thoughts?

Diiny wrote:Fantastic result. Mac, Epi and J all hate each other.

Indeed, and we have many viable lynch options going forward. I could actually foresee a scenario in which none of us get lynched until LYLO or even at all, for that matter... but we'll see. Fingers crossed, but if one or two of us has to go, that's no problem.

With that said, we need to make sure to keep on watch, because the game can change quickly. So far you both have performed excellently.

Guys, we can totally do this. Keep up the good work.

Oh my god, this game!!!!

What a freaking rollercoaster that Day was.

motel room wrote:speaking of gambits, I've always wondered what effect it would have on the game to have scum kill a scum player. So much speculation probably but for good or bad lol

LOL, I've actually speculated trying that myself, but from a numbers standpoint it's just such a ridiculously bad move.

Perfect.

We will kill Sorsha tonight.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Metalmarsh, how are you posting failed kills in the Night post? Will a withheld NK = doc protected an otherwise successful NK?

Yes, it will be simple stupid. If nobody dies, then I will state that nobody has died, regardless if a kill was attempted or not.

Figured as much, just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

motel room wrote:"doctor" would need to have a list of targets protected at whatever point they claim. Knowing whether there's a doctor is a good idea then so yeah Sorsha kill? But then also why didnt whoever claims doctor protect Sorsha night 1? shrug

Work has gotten insanely busy last couple days also so if at any point it seems beneficial to bus me, do it.

I'm all for Sorsha kill, unless we really think the doc gambit is a good idea. I think finding out whether there is a doc tonight by seeing if Sorsha dies could open the door for a subsequent doc gambit... right?
