The Syndicate

Maybe I'm playing into his hands, but I'm going to vote Dex today. The suspicions that he's raised about himself seem to have protected him more than challenged him, and I don't think that's the way it should be. The thing is he's clearly actively trying to get people to vote for him. I think it wo...

I think I died before Nev actually, could be wrong though.

Juliets, here is the rationale I gave in the thread just before I was lynched if this helps. Now that all the votes have been cast, I can reveal the patented "Llama Gambit." Knowing that most of the time baddies try to act helpful and logical to blend in with the civvies, I decided to act...

Ah so you DID say "bad" instead of "good." That's why I thought it was a slip up lol. WTF is Dex doing? Any reason he would try to get himself lynched/voted for? Yeah. I went back and read it, and I saw that immediately. No wonder so many people got confused! :blush: I have no i...

So you're not a civvie then Dex?

BWT can correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I took what he said to mean. If someone gets lynched unanimously (or nearly so) there's no real information to be learned from their lynching. Even if you get a baddie, if every single person voted for them and there was no even subtle push away from...

I guess Gleam basically asked for that NK. It's a shame if he was a civvie but also kind of odd because he seemed to be setting himself up for a lynch anyway. RIP Gleam. A shame you had to die so early Kooby. :( Which sucks, because I was one of the people I was going to be looking at today. Dex is ...

If you are truly a civvie (and Lizzy too) then I think you are doing yourself and the rest of the civvies a disservice by self-voting. As I just mentioned, our primary power is our current ability to outnumber the mafia. Yeah, it rings a little "Thou dost protest too much" by voting for o...

I know what a gambit is. I was joking, should probably have used OT tags in hindsight.

I just want to point out that the civs are at a severe information disadvantage at the beginning of the game. Therefore, any info we manage to acquire through the thread posts or votes benefits the civs more than the baddies. Random trolling and voting for yourself or voting with no stated reason i...

Vomp also caught my eye for his really early vote. I don't have a problem with randomizing as a concept, I think it's a fine last resort but to use it when you're not even half way through the day is a little odd in my opinion. It is a little odd. It is extremely odd, but Vomps is an extremely odd ...

Have to vote now, because I get off work about 45 minutes after the poll ends, and I don't want to have to rush it. I think I could go either way with llama or A Person, but I'm going to go with llama this time. Votes llama I don't like where this poll is headed. :( I explained that my comment abou...

I don't have much of a problem with randomizing, but I do think voting super early on day 1 without a real reason is kinda weird... LT seems to have brought up some good points about Llama though, might be worth considering.

Ok, finally checking in. My weekend was a weekend from hell and I'm still recuperating from it. I feel like death warmed over at this point. Next weekend is going to be equally hellish with my weird hours - so you may not here much from me this week. After that, I am crossing my fingers that things...

Boats' two posts here gave me a bit of a twitch. The "excited"/reckless/thrillseeking vibe is slightly off-putting, especially in regards to the "murderous" comment, which most of us took as a reason NOT to take it. I'm more inclined to brush off the several players who eagerly ...

Say 'nay' to becoming slaves to capitalist pigs! Plus, I'm a wuss by nature. :P Rapture isn't exactly capitalistic. It started out in that direction, but throw in tons of urban decay, whacky experiments, loss of sanity, and anarchy. So basically, one of the best parties ever. :wine: :fiesta: Oh yea...

Yeah, having read some of these responses I think I'm voting not to receive one at this point. I'm sure there'll be other chances to get them anyway.

It's a trap. Nonsense. If I know Alex, this will be a simple, straightforward game with no nasty surprises, deals with the devil r other miscellaneous chicanery. I completely agree. No shenanigans will be found in this game. :srsnod: With you there, the last MP game I played was totally straightfor...

...I was hoping McV was a narrow gauge also and reywas was the mainline engine. Ah, we were very sure Viper was an engine because we figured he'd switched the lynch that killed either me or Nev. I don't remember which but we guessed his role from that. We just hoped Rey was a narrow gauge, and as i...

If Lizzy hadn't have been off the poll I would have voted for her. Maybe McV would have too. Really the game ended when she won thos badges. I knew it! I said in our chat when you didn't vote Viper that the only reason you tied it up was because you wanted to vote Lizzy. It made me think we'd lost ...

Also: Two people go sign up for Bioshock right now! I wanna play it!

FWIW I wouldn't put too much stock in the Llama gambit as it's easy for a baddie to claim that they're a civvie doing the same thing. I'd probably have voted Llama that day even if I was a civvie based on that reason, as unless there's someone I really need dead I always make actual cases for who I'...

Awesome :D Well done team, especially Lizzy who was basically on her own and new to the game! I really didn't expect us to win this especially after Nev and I died to essentially good guesses, but I got more hopeful towards the end. Snow, last night I was sat in our baddie btsc just waiting for you...

I'll let you know if that changes.
Can he push it back to September?

Actually if we're going back that far I won't be able to play so next April would be better for me

Haven't played more than three hours of Bioshock (couldn't get into it) but I'm in!

I am going to put my vote on McViper because I've found his past two votes quite suspicious and I think there's something going on there.

Well, I've voted for DP in the past. The avatar scares me....so since DP has the most votes so far. I'll join in These are two of the worst reasons I ever read. I would have to agree. Jumping on to a bandwagon is one thing, but jumping on to one that hasn't really been explained with no actual reas...

I'm starting to think the most vocal people here, you me and Nev are all civ. If so I apologise for my vote for you. If true though I fear we may be targeted for a NK. While I'm glad you're realising I'm not bad (if you're a civvie) I can't say I feel the same about you and Nev. Both of you have gi...

I'm also still curious about the BWT thing. Does anyone have thoughts on the reasons behind such random-seeming kills? I'm especially curious if you have any thought Bullz.. Why especially me? I have no great insight to share. In my experience kills rarely have much of a pattern because patterns ca...

So last night I decided to look at Snow and Viper because I thought the timing of their votes for me was odd. I noticed a weird thing about Snow. Llama's plan was ill timed being in a game with a high level of newbies. But one person who voted for him simply wouldn't accept my point that if Llama wa...

No, I just liked the uniqueness.

It is now Night 3. You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.
Is this because of the tied vote?

A tie would be resolved one way or the other. I expect there's a different explanation.

I legitimately do not see how there is a case against me today, based on the fact I didn't post for a few hours and don't agree with every word Snow Dog posts. If I am lynched today, the remaining civvies will need to take a long look at the reasons why that was.

Since there's an hour left to vote and it doesn't look like anybody else is coming, I'm going to have to vote to save myself I suppose. Fortunately, I do think DP could be bad, having had his team insanify him to cover up after people discussed him earlier. So that's who I'll vote for, but if I surv...

We haven't heard from Bullzeye in a very long time. I think he's laying low to avoid detection. I cast my vote for him Or maybe he has better things to be doing? You haven't heard from me since last night, hardly a very long time. I didn't have anything to post right after the night ended, and then...

I think 16 should be sufficient for a party. I can't see how 1 extra balloon would be too many, so 15 seems pointless. It is boxes. So it's an extra box of balloons. I don't know how heavy it is of course. How heavy can a box of balloons even be? You'd need hundreds of balloons before they start ge...

I'm gonna say 16 for this poll, it's neither too many nor too few, so Harold won't be troubled by his fuel leakage and everyone will get some balloons! I may have overthought that.

While Llama appears to be noble it is only a good strategy if you don't actually want to continue playing. So didn't you want to play anymore llama old buddy? That's what I don't get about the whole thing. Either he wants out, knows he won't be lynched, is a civvie who made a mistake and is trying ...

I don't see any reason to keep waiting, it doesn't look like my opinion is going to change. I'm voting Llama - I think he's acting strangely and I'm not buying the whole 'sacrifice' thing he claims to be doing... Isn't he acting too strange to be bad? Is there really such a thing though? You could ...

Nice way to spread the vote even further~ the baddies can swoop in and lynch a civ with just one vote with such a spread, especially if the lurkers dont vote :( No kidding. It's hard to come to consensus this early, but we can't afford to leave everyone with 1-2 votes again. I'm favoring DP, on the...

Anyway, I chose Snow Dog due to llama's Hidden Message School of Thought. Can't spell Snow Dog without "goon." My apologies.

You realise Mongoose has the same word in it?

What's this about the pig voters? All four votes for Pigs came from people who missed the previous lynch vote. I have a crazy conspiracy theory that these people had some info on the poll, and I think that indicates baddieness. Let me get this straight. Your theory is that all the baddies missed a ...

RIP SVS :( So, being pretty much new to the game, and reading people's posts, and since apparently the baddies are no strangers to targeting their own and since SVS's identity has not been revealed, is there a possibility that she was one of them? Also, I still don't understand how the voting in th...
