The Syndicate

Oops, I mean:

I'm not on board with lynching G-Man.

I'd say Mac is probably bad. Pretty sure I've seen him do this before on a teammate.

Sorry Tink, piggybacking on DDL 's vote.

Sorry for being not here... in the summer we often have our food truck at events on the weekends. I'm at the Scugog Summer Jam tonight. Big Wreck is here. I'll be around earlier tomorrow.

Damn it.

Or, each voter has a weighted vote based on their type and their vote-target's type, and there was no tie?

Same thing I offer every game LC, a perspective that you can't truly prove that I actually have. Most of y'all can't even prove that I truley exist for that matter... at least outside that of concept and theory. The concept of existence itself is the only truth.

here's to hoping the hosts answer my question. I think I have a good idea.

Geez. You shoulda led with the "good idea". Way stronger.

Oh, he's gone. Well, I should be gone to bed too, really.

Wilgy, what do you offer this game?

Bye tim! See you next time.

Ok, I'm laying it down on boo again. At least for now.

Let's say that you form a triangle and everybody votes for each other (A good strategy. Beneficial and guarantees a certain amount.). Then don't do it for more than 3 nights. That would be stupid.

Is this right?

Agreed. No sense wasting evo-points. Ideally we can get every Civ up to maxed out level, and put some powerful abilities in play.

Yes, thia is true. But how are we to really talk about it without the baddiea killing those who have received enough evolve votes. I planned on giving evolve points to two people I feel I can trust, targeting each every oher night untul they each get three. I wouldn't want to share who in the thread because I would be afraid they might be killed. So, please, if I'm missing some kinf of strategy where we can collaborate, tell me.

Hook up with two other players you trust and make a deal publicly. If everyone does that, then no one will be a greater target.

Also RIP Jack. Truly sorry to see you go, you're a real asset to every game you play.

Because I'm a hypocrite, right?

We'll get a phase change each and every day, as per the rules:

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2017 8:42 pm

Rules

1) Day periods last 24 hours. Night periods last 23 hours.

It is my understanding that you may cast one evo vote per night.

nutella wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2017 2:09 amPoor presuming on your part. Speed and LC are the two players I trust most at this point (despite the fact that they missed the rule).

Cool, you just became the third Musketeer. We both choose you tonight and you alternate between us. Cool?

Epignosis wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:38 pm If you can't read rules, you shouldn't be playing Mafia.

No double targeting. That goes for evolution points.

That is far from clear in the rules.

Who wants to be the third party who is participating in what I hope is an ongoing mutual assistance program that speed and I are members of? If speed agrees, you will qualify for two evolution points tonight. You just have to reciprocate.

In general, I start with the former as well. It's just that in this case, with Boo having asked about repeat targeting for evo votes, I think it is more likely that he is bad and was asking because he wants to evolve a teammate. It makes less sense for a civilian to want to repeat target evo votes, at least at the beginning of the game when we're not sure who's good -- it's better to spread them around among the people we think we trust.

Except for the part where that isn't at all what I said... I said the baddies would repeatedly target their teammates.

You are however basing your suspicion of me on the fact that you incorrectly think you agree with LC, when in fact it is LC who has already done exactly what it is you are incorrectly accusing me having only suggested, as speed voted for him D0, and he voted for speed, and then (ignoring the fact that I asked and episode answered, saying that you cannot double target an evo vote) they agreed to vote for each other again.

Oh, you can't? I missed the answer, I guess they'll let us know if our evo vote targets are not valid due to that rule.

That said... do you seriously think we would publicize our votes if we were baddies together? Why on earth would the baddies do that?? The votes are private, man! The baddies are boosting each other in secret!

Yo speed, evo-point me up again. Reciprocation is already complete.

It's up to the reader to decide if they think it's a Civ putting their mind into a baddie frame, or a baddie thinking like a baddie.

Yes it is. This is also your example, because saying that supports my calling you a hypocrite when you voted for me because:

Can you explain why that is pingy?

Sure, boo thought about the baddies stacking their votes on each other, which, in some small way, makes me think that he's looking at it from a baddie mindset.

Do we vote a new evolve-points recipient now/tonight?

If you wanna call me a hypocrite, then I want you to back it up with an example.

That's a terrible excuse coming from you, seeing as you do the same thing.

Your defensive OMGUS about it makes me way more suspicious of you, boo. You know what I do when I get a single, near-meaningless vote on Day 1, while others are in the lead? Nothing. I shut up about it. I realize it's not a big deal, and if it becomes a big deal, I take confidence in the fact that I could shut that weak crap down if it comes to it.

You are getting way too upset about it. And calling it a "terrible excuse" actually put you into a real suspicion for me. There is a difference between a "terrible excuse" and a "weak reason". Your use of the former is too forced.

boo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2017 12:05 am Seems to me openly saying who you vote to evolve is a bad plan. Team rocket can just stack their votes on each other while all three are alive.

@hosts: you can't vote for the same person to evolve in back to back nights, right? Id assume that's a double targeting. Will it be posted in thread when an evolve happens?

This gave me a slight suspicion of you, boo, so I'll vote for you now. Vote boo

Geez. Ok, I won't vote for speedchuck. Or Dom, because I want him to play.

Edit: I agree with speedchuck. And fred, but not Dom.

Cool. We might be able to coordinate.

And by we I mean you guys. Tell me who to vote for by tomorrow, and I'll try to get it in.

Didn't you vote already?

I voted after Epi said we had more time, but now people are talking about coordinating, even though it seems most of us have voted already.

Speedchuck voted for me, and I would be absolutely fine with coordinating myself into an evolution. I am a) a role that can evolve, and b) a Civ role. And c) my character is one that I designed all thee levels of evolution onto a Pokemon playmat for my son.

Wait, I thought we had till 8am?

Hi, just got my role PM and quickly caught up. If I can still evolve someone I will choose speedchuck!
