The Syndicate

So's my nephew.

Huit a sec, that's not fair!

I vote speedchuck for singalong winner.

Hey Rico: strong move ditching that gimmick. Very nice.

Your complaints about this game are valid, and I'm interested to hear your ideas on a better strategy with which we can approach this game.

WHAT?? I did a space there.

INCORRECT. THE LINK EPIGNOSIS POSTED DIRECTS YOU TO INFORMATION ABOUT IBAN NUMBERS. THE POLL OPTION REFERS TO I-BAN NUMBERS. THAT HYPHEN MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. IBAN VERSUS I-BAN. SEE THE DIFFERENCE? ONE IS INTERNATIONAL FINANCE AND THE OTHER IS RECREATIONAL MATHEMATICS. LOOK UP BAN NUMBERS AND YOU WILL BE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

ONCE AGAIN YOU HUMANS SUCCEED AT DISAPPOINTING ME. DETAILS! DETAILS! THOUGH, TO BE FAIR, SOME RESOURCES DON'T USE THE HYPHEN. AH WELL. I DO, SO YOU MUST CONFORM TO MY METHODS OR FAIL SPECTACULARLY.

I already chose Normal, and I'm sticking to it.

I should blind the night post tonight to make you all PAY for not lynching me.

too bad the thread is illegible. p

Yeah, I wish I had the time to run 100 posts through the decoder machine, or to look up other language translations, but no. I'm here to quickly catch up between the many other things that take up my day.

I tried to bang out a rendition of "I Touch Myself" today, on the go. I set my phone camera to selfie-mode, started recording, introduced the video, and switched over to the lyrics. Unfortunately, switching over stopped the recording and I sand to no one.

I plan to fulfil my Sexy Song requirement. You will hear me sing.

Definitely heads.

How odd. What did that poll look like in the end?

Haaaaa.... JJJ, could you take care of that please? DDL ruined his fun.

Hmmm, I didn't get the "hide a nightkill" thing before, because I didn't grasp the signup thread info about having many lives... but even considering that, it's a very minimal chance that this could be used to any real advantage. Maybe I suffer from a lack of imagination, but I want to try another role with a little more pizzazz.

I don't want to use this power. If there were evil machinations to be had, then I would consider looking into them, but as my team stands right now, I see no advantage to it.

Is that allowed? I just wanna be sure. Speedchuck did Bible hints.

Vote me please!

*votes me*

I'm really sorry to have missed the Sexy Singalong. I'm just so busy all the time. I intended to do it, I meant no disrespect to the contest or the player who sent it or the host... it just slipped away on me.

If people don't want to vote for me, then I'll just vote for speedchuck. He really has to go. The earlier, the safer.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 1:34 pm Hold up

What is LC's current role? I will not vote a suicidal non-claimer. He could be pulling a fast one on us.

Wait, also, do we keep getting reincarnated until the numbers run out?

You know what? Yes. Let's do this. I wanna be reincarnated as #1 baby!

I have to admit, I don't like my current role.

Do you feel like revealing your old team's identities? Is that allowed?

Difficult to track in a meaningful way. Too many assumptions need to be made if we want to attempt to predict anything about roles and kills. And those predictions may mean very little. It might be a more worthwhile use of time to compile a list of which roles we need to know (or even just can know) in order to improve our chances of winning.

Seems not worth the effort to me, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I'm set for the night. Done all I need to do... which ain't much.

Do you like your new role?

Looks like INH will get his wish.

colonialbob wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 10:48 amWhich speaking of, I'm not voting for inh. Your role has a limitation because you're on 3 different teams.

I didn't realize that... maybe he should be lynched after all.

That's not the only reason I'll never go for a Mac or an iPhone... but it's a big one for me. Big because I used to have a well-paid job that had Flash programming as a major part of it, and now I don't.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 12:53 am I do have an observation though:

Some are worried about "powerful" roles coming in and doing harm. So naturally people want to remove those roles.

INH just told everyone he has a role that isn't going to harm anybody in any way.

So why is he getting all these votes? If it's so he can have more fun, fine. Cool. But it's weird to me that people are ready to shove a benign role out the door on Day 1.

Are people wanting to discard a benign role and give INH the chance to have a crazy or dangerous role?

Personally, I like INH having a boring role. He can't screw anybody with it.

Who would you like to lynch, Epignosis?

Careful - when you think Epi is making a good point, he's probably stealing your wallet.

This is by far my favourite post from you this game. I really dig it when you participate, Rico, and I'm sorry but I hate it when you don't. I can objectively appreciate your dedication to gimmick after gimmick after gimmick after gimmick, but in practice it just strikes me as lazy. The rest of us have to work that much harder to move the game forward, not only to fill the space where real Rico content might exist, but also to deal with whatever anti-content shtick you're slinging. So forgive me when I lean toward "let's lynch the guy that is blatantly giving us nothing to really judge him by". I like Rico, dislike the constant gimmicks.

That said... why would THE GAME make that role a secret? There are few secrets in the roles, and I see no reason why that one should be secret, since it is the most public result we have seen. Like, it ain't a secret no more.

Unless there's more to it. Some sinister undercurrent that belies the fun singing contest that we see on the surface.

I also have to vote for Epi, even though that's not how he really sounds in the bedroom. Sorry speedchuck.

Are there any roles that benefit from being lynched?

On mine, when I have a video recorded, I can click on Share and it gives me a variety of ways to share it, including some online outlets.

And don't mistake my interest here for me being the one who cursed you. I don't do that, just trying to help. If you'd really prefer to just take the punishment, then I'll shut up.

If you have a smartphone of some kind, you could record yourself singing on that and just post it through the phone to an online space to share.

Oh, I see - I didn't get the linki for your post here, so I missed it.

juliets wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 10:05 am Just an fyi for everyone, I was "selected" to participate in an event that requires me to sing a specific song on vocaroo or youtube. Unfortunately, vocaroo doesn't work on my computer and I have no idea how to do youtube on it either (plus I'm pretty carful about my identity as many of you know) so I cannot participate. I'm a terrible singer but would be happy to vocaroo if it worked (don't know why it doesn't). Sorry to the selector, I don't mean to be a bad sport. I will be punished for not participating, my vote won't count for 2 days and I can't use any power I might have during night 1. I asked if I could reveal this info and was told yes but asked not to reveal the song so I won't. Meanwhile, I don't remember a role that has people sing but its probably something more generic like "can select people to do things". I'm off to search for it so I'll know it's in play.

Thank you!!

I will not vote Spacedaisy today.

juliets wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 10:19 am It looks to me like the role that selected me is a secret role. If anyone sees anything different please speak up.

"The role that selected you"? Do you mean the role you received?

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 10:16 am Let's lynch Epi.

He is always bad.

See, I'm down with that as well, because he's not on my team either. Of course, most of you aren't on my team, so you're fair game as well.

More importantly, how is voting Ricochet a cop-out? And why do you feel so strongly about it?

It feels weak because of the way the idea of voting for him came up in the thread yesterday and the way a few people have so easily latched onto it. Idk, to me it just feels like one of those cases of D1-thoughtless-bandwagoning syndrome. Speedchuck voted for Rico because he hates the gimmick, and then Sloonei just jumped on with that because he didn't have any other ideas. Soon everyone will just be lazily wandering into the thread and going "oh, looks like people are voting rico, cool, I'll do that too, whatever" and boom that's how most lame-ass day 1 lynches that go nowhere get started.

Maybe... we should vote for you instead?

juliets wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 6:38 am Good morning everyone, rico maybe someone has asked this but what makes you think there is a mafia? Also, just fyi for everyone else, rico is emulating a style he uses when playing popcorn mafia which is kind of a speed mafia played on mafia universe so it's a style I've seen before. That info probably doesn't make a difference on how you feel about what he is doing but I did want to share that I've seen it before. It was not indicative as to whether he was bad or good, he did it as both factions.

One of the guys he's mentioning is on my team currently, and Rico is not on my team. When the time comes, he is my top choice for lynching.

Don't be saddened, Alex changed all the groups' color schemes. He picked that color for the Graphics Team specifically to match your avatar.

That is very thoughtful, but this avatar is not long for this world. It was created to match the old colour scheme.

Kill myself.

She's a Crazy 8.

I just changed my vote to "no" because I'm not on the Crazy 8's team. As, the number 64 is.

I fear that a "yes" victory will reward that number, and by extension, the Crazy 8's.

After catching up on this stuff... I feel like I should read all the roles.

Your words are those of one who speaks in prose, the style you use is not quite known to me. Is it the Good Book from which you compose, or is it Chicka-Chicka-1-2-3?

Ho, THE GAME! It feels great in my primate brain to see you again. THE GAME has been easy on us this time - we all still have our memories, more or less.
