The Syndicate

I never said it did, but I think it's appropriate for all members, regardless of the color of their name, to treat each other with at least a minimum level of respect when they disagree.

You do realize I'm a mod now, right? I'd rather you were a little less rude.

Fuck off.

I don't want to and you can't make me.

I still don't see how you can call it cheating when a host says "x is allowed" and then people do "x."

This game is also the reason I watched Sherlock, and I have to say it is my favorite adaptation I've seen.

Of course I want to know! Otherwise, how will I know whether I can use that awesome banner or not?

Did I win?

The Event!

It's after 4:30. INH is eliminated for missing the event.

Open your eyes. Look up to the skies and see.

Mongoose wrote:Is this The Real Life?

Is this just fantasy?

One is forced to wonder why the host is going out of his way to overrule the voting and protect a particular player even after the designated time has more than elapsed.

DharmaHelper wrote:If you want to justify cheating to fulfill a vendetta against someone who beat you go for it.

I don't see how it's cheating to follow the rules INH made up. Also, your claim that "everyone has access to friends" is ridiculous. Does a new player, like Jigsaw, have the same access to friends as someone who has ben on the site since the beginning? Of course not.

DharmaHelper wrote:The way I see it everyone had access to IOU so IOU is fair play. Everyone had access to friends and such, so friends and such are fair play. American Gods accounts are underhanded and not fair play IMO because not everyone has access to them.

The sign ups have been open for some time now. Anyone who wanted could have signed up and gotten an account.

Funny how DH likes unorthodox rules (like free rezzes for no reason) only when they work in his favor.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Also, no way would I activate accounts that are second accounts of other players just so they could vote in this poll. Lol.
I know you wouldn't but that's basically what I.O.U. is, it's a second account to whoever wants to use it which is why I don't think its vote should count because it's probably someone who then also voted on their own account as well which I don't think is fair and wouldn't no matter who it had voted for.

The wording of INH's post is clear. If he honors his own rules, IOU's vote will count.

Does anyone really believe that INH is just going to hand out a rezz to one player for no reason? Wouldn't that be a really unfair way to host, showing that kind of favoritism? Of course DH doesn't have a rezz.

Hedgeowl wrote:if you have one rezz how will that do any good? There are two votes against Bullz already. I could vote AP or Goose now, but Bullz or someone else could still easily be lynched.

Don't listen to him, Hedge. He is a liar. Look into the eyes of your firstborn child, whom I have met, and know that my advice is good.

DharmaHelper wrote:Which is why I've not done it.

If you have a rez, why don't you prove it by using it on me now? You can't, that's why. Game, set, match.

Lying doesn't suit you.

We never even talked all game but that's a good try.

Yeah, WE didn't talk. You were too busy boasting about your evil plans to listen to let me get a word in edgewise.

That sounded...on topic.

Not at all. Just pointing out that jail is where people go while awaiting trial. Prison is where they go after being found guilty.

If Matt went to court and was found guilty, shouldn't he be in prison, not jail?

The owls are not what they seem.

Well, I have to say I was not expecting that.

Don't let people send in late PMs. It sets a bad precedent.

I worry about our host's safety when he's absent like this.

Snow Dog wrote:I've been looking through the roles and I see only three potential killers. Moriarty seems to have only one NK and the Cabby has a maximum of two and a minimum of zero. Also the general can potentially kill 3 times if one fails his puzzles.

When Moriarty kills we can breathe a sigh of relief.
Cabby is a flip of a coin it seems, maybe..idk
The general...well let's hope these puzzles aren't too blinkin' hard.

This is a very good observation. It hadn't occurred to me that Moriarity would have only one kill, but upon rereading the roles, it appears you are right. That makes him much less scary. (not that I was particularly worried anyway.)

You guys sure are worried about that NKer. If I were in your shoes, I'd be more worried about the lynches.

A suspect for what?

Have you seen me lying in the thread? About anything I've done? At all?

Can Bullz say this? Or DH? Or A Person?

No, they cannot say I've been lying in the thread. Because I haven't.
I don't see a difference between lying in the thread and lying via PM. Sorry.
Hey dude, I've thought on this, and you're right. I apologize for lying to you in the PM. It wasn't right, and though my strategy didn't work out as I thought it would (I don't have any reason to believe AP has a NK), I also apologize for the whole mess I made of the thread today.

Hopefully we're cool, and we can focus on getting players with NK now.

We're absolutely cool! You know I respect you as a player, so no hard feelings. I'm still going to vote for you tomorrow, though.

I don't see AP being saved unless the role that gets people out of court is either AP or his partner, or in an alliance with AP.

Otherwise, surely everyone else will be voting to kick AP off the island?
Way to state the obvious. I think players are just having fun with this, that's all.

Well, the nights are going to be mighty boring if we don't at least talk about the suspects, I guess. But again, I can't see a good reason to want to save people.

Maybe A Person can give us a compelling reason why we should vote to keep him in. Otherwise, I can't see much incentive to do so.

Snow Dog wrote:I guess we can discuss court procedings?

Who wants to play prosecutor and defender?
