The Syndicate

As we move close to the deadline, I once more find myself devoid of any level of certainty. It's uncanny how well the mafia have been hiding thus far. There's just that small element of doubt about Carmen and Finnian which makes me wary of voting for either today. Carmen's alleged role hinting, and ...

Okay, see if anything jumps out at anyone, if it does, do you believe it? Just coincidence? If you don't believe it, then is it just a 2 night set-up, trying to appear to be a townie role? That seems risky to me, as it invites checking. http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=148&a...

Shand, you seem smart. You like statistics and data. Here: Your last post had 412 words according to Word. Here's how many times you used certain words: http://www.writewords.org.uk/word_count.asp This Djinn (who remains amazed at the story of the alchemist and cannot wait for the next Vision!) thi...

Here's another thought about Rumpel. I'm not sure at this point how useful this is, but hopefully it may lead us to something at some point in the game, if not today. One way of looking at Rumpel's ability is that the mafia (team of four) has complete anonymity in the lynch polls. They can vote for ...

Operator

The total votes cast yesterday were 16; Carmen had six, Finnian had five, Bac had zero. For Bac to have the majority, Rumpel would have had to move over at least six votes to Bac. This is true irrespective of whose votes Rumpel stole (i.e. whether they were Carmen voters or not). In a game where the...

Someone wanna tell me how missing the vote makes me bad? ;) 3 This response doesn't sit well with me. You seriously don't see why you consistently missing the polls would raise more than a few eyebrows? A busy townie would at least acknowledge that their lack of activity is hurting the town, and wo...

That is a good point. I wonder though, why a baddie would intentionally forfeit whatever moony period power he might have.

Lol Bea, welcome back, you were missed. :) I went back and read all of Finnian's posts. It's no wonder that I haven't thought much about him at all until now. Other than a brief mention of Mainchain, there's absolutely nothing there. However, there's a slight possibility that he's a disinterested to...

Operator

What is your opinion on Finnian (who the Hosts, peace be upon them, keep misspelling)? I see you voted Miyuki, someone that has also had my eye. 5 Oh, I missed this part of your post kind Djinn. I haven't paid much attention to Finnian, to be honest. I will most certainly read through his posts, an...

Thank you for the correction, Dierdre! There were a couple of other small errors too, which appeared when I deleted the rows for dead players. The following is the error-free:

I think Bac drew that conclusion by reading the Lynch Post Title, which I think mentioned Pixies? 7 Thank you Queran, I understand now. Though the Lynch Post Title also goes on to say (but not really a Pixie as much at is about a boy). In any case, it seems a little farfetched to me that Bac would ...

Operator

No NK. :dance: I've done a quick read of the thread, just wanted to post my thoughts before doing a more thorough read. I, too, can't see a single townie reason for Carmen not getting lynched. It could be one of the secret roles, but how can we be sure that secret role is aligned with the town? I am...

I do believe the poll closes in another six hours.

Unfortunately I have run out of time, and need to vote now. I don't have any solid leads, and I will go with my gut, and the minor pigs I have about Miyuki for voting Mainchin in day two, steering clear of Jorhan. I am assuming this was done to use the "I didn't vote a townie, you did" arg...

Operator

You do bring up a good point about Queran defending Mainchin. :ponder: I missed that apparently, so I'm going to go back and look at that, while I'm here. But I also mention right after that Mainchin and Queran have disagreed over certain things on multiple occasions, and despite Queran's defense, ...

Operator

RIP Jorhan, I will look back at the people you mentioned in your posts, with a better perspective. Related to my previous question about your vote for a player who wasn't getting lynched, I also found the above post interesting. You posted this right after the lynch post. This seems to me to be a c...

Operator

Shand, you did have us switched, it was I who voted Mainchin. You said 'you had your eye on him all game, especially coupled with' the rhenfew post, which was of course misunderstood. Why had you been looking his way prior to that? The first thing that caught my eye way back on day 1 was Mainchin h...

Good sir, I owe you a sincere apology! I confused you with the other M -- Miyuki, who was the one who voted for you, not the other way round! You indeed voted for Jorhan on day 2, and I take back what I mentioned in the previous post.

Operator

I apologize for not participating much today; work has been brutal, and I haven't been able to give the game as much time as it deserves. I've read through and enjoyed the eloquent, well-thought out recent posts. Unfortunately, and this could also have to do with my shattered confidence -- I really ...

Operator

No offense taken Gobnait. My voting record has indeed been far from satisfactory. I can only assure you of my sincerest efforts to turn things around, hopefully starting today. Considering that Caillic was a day one lynch, and that so many of us misread Jorhan, I don't know how useful the voting cha...

RIP Dilan and Gaerwan. Let's get a baddie today!

Operator

The Margrave would much rather consume land food than candy or glass slippers. I picked Pea.

Operator

RIP Jorhan. I'm sorry I misjudged you completely. It was fun playing with you.

Operator

The back and forth between camp Gobnait and camp Queran, as it were, has been a treat to follow. Both sides make valid, reasonable arguments, but at this point, I am more inclined to trust the former. The argument against Jorhan, Queran, and Bronwyn is based on the assumption that the late Callic vo...

Operator

Sorry for the triple post, but Gobnait's analysis has got my adrenaline flowing! :D Another point about Bronwyn that I thought was worth mentioning. At the beginning of night 1, she urged the princess to check her statements (that she had no BTSC, wasn't a baddie, etc.) At the time, it seemed a very...

Operator

Sorry, I messed up the quote! :| I'm sorry for this book, I know you're busy people. To summarize, based on the above evidence I believe very strongly that Queran is bad, and I don't exactly feel great about Bronwyn either. If they do both prove bad, Jorhan is a likely compatriot, but that's still e...

Operator

Brilliant analysis Gobnait! I have spent the morning looking at the lynch results, and the more I look the more I'm convinced the lynch was steered by baddies. First of all, Caillic was good and died. Secondly, all but 1 of the first 11 votes went to different people (and the 12th was Fane's illegal...

Operator

That was one cool story Bea! I, too, have had an eye on Laine because of what I perceived to be throwing names around hoping for one to stick. First it was Gaerwen (against speaking in a foreign tongue), then Caillic (playing the cards we are given), before, in a final turnaround voting for someone ...

Operator

:rip: Caillic. With the initial few votes scattered across more than half a dozen people, all the Big Bad Baddies had to do was to pick a target and pour in just enough votes to seal the deal. I wish, as I have often wished in the past, the mafia gods could decree that all games commence at day 2. ...

I must vote now for I won't be around when the poll closes. I see that Jorhan has posted again in the thread, and I, therefore, pick Caillic.

I suspect our illustrious hosts will not look kindly upon any efforts to circumvent the little bugger's power in any case. I'm inclined to just play the cards we're dealt. I'm considering a vote for either Caillic or Jorhan, the former because of the above post, and the latter because of the low po...

I think having conversation regarding how to foil an evildoer is an outstanding activity. Some of the potential solutions may be unworkable, but some may not. Saying that putting forth possible solutions may be a nefarious activity raises my hackles. Pixies have hackles, you know, Tiny little hackl...

I'm not sure how I feel about the discussion about Rumpel's ability. The concern is genuine, and he and his team can wreck havoc if we let him go unchecked with his magic words. On the other hand, people who first brought it up could very easily have been using it as a ruse to make us believe they a...

By the way, is it strange to anyone else that there are 25 players listed but only 18 roles? Any ideas what that could be about? Good observation Gobnait! This struck me as odd too. So there are seven roles unaccounted for. I know I am probably reaching, but I also counted six players saying "...
