The Syndicate

Having seen some other Mafia sites out there, I am so proud of The Syndicate for the sheer creativity and willingness to experiment that is the general norm around here!

I, too, would like to win with Spacedaisy!

I think that you will almost surely get lynched next phase, but we shall see! I guess playing with the idea that sig was GP baddie can get some leeway.

I only just now, this very minute, finally figured out what ekeknat is saying. Oh Claude, I hope you drop dead soon.

You mean about Typhoony cluing in, right? Yeah, it was hard to understand.

indiglo wrote:Numbers-wise... can we do this if we lynch LC today? I'm really not sure.

We don't have a kill this next night, so there will be 2 lynches before our next NK - and I'm not sure that we are 100% certain which civ NEEDS to die next NK. How likely is it that if LC goes today, Zebra will go day 9?

Six players left... lynch me, and then lynch zebra, and we still arrive to a point where indiglo has a nightkill. Dana is definitely a Coq with the way Made defended her, and I believe Spacedaisy is likely one as well. So kill DFaraday, and game over we win.

DF survives or game doesn't end then, and we could be in trouble.

We are 50% of the voting bloc today. Zebra, I wish you hadn't voted me. If we could convince just one player to vote not-us... or if 2 voted me and one voted you... then we could have piled on and straight up won the game.

If so, no apology necessary... it would be legal game mechanics that fooled him, and not you.

If Made dies today and ekeknat dies tonight... if it's not over yet, I think DFaraday would be the last Gay Parade Civ.

ekeknat probably checked you and was fooled by your role's nature.

a2thezebra wrote:ekeknat shall die tonight.

Well, duh. He's so obvious as the checker guy. Let this be a lesson to all of you!

LOL zebra, it should be fine. I didn't realize that Made might be Detective Dullight himself, insanified after checking Coq Civs twice. If he is, then Dana is definitely Coquelicot. So that's good info to have.

I know, right?

Yeah, the prevalent opinion out there right now is that "Civvies help Civvies".

I think I have a sweet angle on Made with my last post, actually, and I even sprinkled in a hint that I somehow alignment-checked him last night for those who get it.

I love it. Can we say that in the thread.

Zebra... maybe you're laying it on a little thick for the LC vote. I mean... you should have other suspicions as well, or it will look sketchy. Also, the ideal thing here is NOT to lynch me, but your single-mindedness isn't really giving you an out.

Claude Robert:
I'd like to thank you for spending time with the gay parade.
Secretly the lead singer of Elf Power. Claude Robert checks a player every day to reveal if they're a member of The Gay Parade. If he finds any members of The Gay Parade, he will learn their alignment.

So, every Night that passes makes it more inevitable that Claude will find one of us, and will try to get that player lynched. I think that a good way to go with nightkills is someone who newly latches on to one of us, because we need this guy dead to win.

This is ekeknat. Practically guaranteed, look how SURE he is of me from a gut feel.

We need Made and ekeknat dead. The game might actually end then.

If we could have kept BR alive, she would have worked with us to consume the Civs entirely.

Made got insanified twice. That makes him a Gay Parade Civvie, right?

WHO do we lynch today then??? Should we all start flinging shit everywhere?

Excellent thoughts, indi! Yeah, BR is hinting pretty heavily at Coquelicot, she could indeed be the Detective. I'm down with killing ekeknat next time we get the chance. Heck, maybe we could even lynch him? This day is DEAD, maybe because of the Super Bowl.

Isabell:
Protects a player every night. She receives two additional votes against her for every post she makes after receiving her first vote on any Day phase.

Black Rock - not Isabell, or she'd have been lynched Day 5
Dana - Hasn't taken a vote yet, may be Isabell
DFaraday - Hasn't taken a vote yet, may be Isabell
ekeknat - Hasn't taken a vote yet, may be Isabell
Made - Could be Isabell, didn't post in the short time after DFaraday's vote for him Day 4.
Spacedaisy - not Isabell, or she'd have been lynched Day 2
sprityo - Hasn't taken a vote yet, may be Isabell

Wish the votes had been more spread out! Oh well, still lots of possibilities.

What if we each voted for someone else early and see who we can shut up? Of course, nah.

So, what do you think of targeting sprityo tonight? If he can be roleblocked, then that probably means that he has an active power... 2 Gay Parade Civvies and 3 Coquelicot Civvies have powers that I think fit the bill. Most of them are roles I'd like gone regardless of which team they're on.

He might get protected tonight by Isabell, but an ekeknat protection was also requested, so I think it's worth a shot.

We could probably track down Isabell by seeing who got voted when, and how many posts they made after.

Aw, Typh wasn't bad after all. Oh well... too bad he wasn't Gay Parade, he really was trying to win with us.

a2thezebra wrote:I'm off to bed though since I have nothing to attack you with right now. :P

Me too. I also like how this is giving us both a chance to see what it's like to deal with the other as a baddie. I think I generally put together some very solid bullshit to serve up to the Civvie fools.

This is so much fun. This is the best distancing ever.

Works for me, Typhoony's teammate!

Solid result.

Nice! So zebra, take me down if you like.

Do we have to be alive to win?

Nickee Coco:
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep, very peaceful in her invisible tree.
Nickee is immune to all night powers for the first three nights of the game.

Who are the players that are NOT Nickee? Made isn't, because he got targeted.

... that's all I have right now.

OK, just looking at roles and thinking about stuff.

Fun Loving Nun:
So much wonderful love for everyone!
She has one lynch switch OR a lynch stop.

Ideally, Scotty was the Nun, because we need her dead... but I doubt it.

Dulliard ain't the only detective in play here! RIP, MM, ya had to go!

I would like to talk about bussing skycat to gain some awesome cred! Thoughts?

Ok, that crosses off Nutella from the list. And killing the other baddie team is decent enough, given that we can win with the Coquelicot Civvies by eliminating the Gay Parade Civvies and the Coquelicot baddies.

So, DFaraday plan still in effect? He is taking 1/3 of the heat from Spacedaisy, and Typhoony just gave a pretty good reason to be suspicious of DF as well. On the other hand, Metalmarsh was insanified, and that means he's either Detective Dulliard or a Gay Parade Civvie. We don't need Dulliard dead, but there's a good chance we need MM dead. MM is probably the Miniature Philosopher, actually. Yes. Let's kill MM!

So, my theory is that one of the voters for Spacedaisy was the Miniature Philosopher, whose vote doesn't count. Which would have made Spacedaisy-Boulders lynch a tie, which Boulders lost. So that's DFaraday, nutella, or Metalmarsh89.

Miniature Philosopher:
He stands five foot three so no one takes him seriously.
His vote in the poll doesn't count. His role will be revealed upon his death, even if he is nightkilled.

We have to kill the Gay Parade Civvies, and he is one. I think killing DFaraday tomorrow could be a fine idea, because it could look like Spacedaisy did it.

Let's hear it for conscientious night PM sending!

Done-zo!

I am thinking of roleblocking Spacedaisy tonight.

S~V~S clearly needs to take a break - you haven't done anything to cause her to act like she has been doing. Scotty's joke and my accusation of defensiveness pushed her to this place as much as anything you said.

Good to see you here, skycat!

I think it would be really groovy to kill Scotty tonight. I mean, he's trying to get me lynched, so that's scary. But leaving it on S~V~S works for me as well, with the slight fear that she's the other Immortal and this is exactly what they want.

I had an idea though - what if SVS and Scotty are the Repudiated Immortals together? That would mean that SVS is immune to kills tonight. Scotty, on the other hand, would be immune to lynches and open to nightkills.

Also, where is our third member??

Should we mercy-kill s~V~S? She's seriously gone off the deep end, and she needs a Mafia break. That's my diagnosis.

If I nightkill my wife on Night 1, then I will never, ever, ever again be able to claim innocence when such an act is performed. Plus, the anger she would unleash on me... I'd rather not.

lol, have you been a pissy whiny bitch? I thought this is so funny.

On the fence on this potential slip. SVS is a very defensive person. She often compares her game... when bad. Seriously though, on the fence.

This post is the definition of wishy washy. It would look like someone who is waiting to see if this is going to gain momentum and if you can safely join that wagon. This is the one I saw that made me see why he might find you suspect in this whole scenario. I can't speak to why your first post made him think whatever he thought, but this one that stood out to me.

That said, I don't see anything else that would convince me to vote for you. I don't know that this is a baddie tell really or a cautious civ, so no stress about me voting you anytime soon.

Wishywashyception?

So, it's a bit early to talk about it... but do you wanna kill Typhoony tonight?

a2thezebra wrote:It's significantly less obvious that it's a slip from the perspectives of those who don't have BTSC because of how rare it is for this game to have BTSC in thread form rather than chatroom form.

Yeah, I noticed you slip slightly when that came up.

If one of us gets recruited, will we keep BTSC with our former team?

So... we only have to defeat the Gay Parade Civvies, not the Coquelicots. So that's interesting.

Zebra, I can't believe Scotty goofed like that! So we have Scotty and S~V~S as our opposing baddie team. Can we win with the Coquelicot Civvies?

Coquelicot Baddies (2)
Have BTSC. Must kill all Coquelicot civvies to win. The even night kill passes down from Mimi to Lecithin.

Mimi Merlot:
Mimi Merlot you're the most convincingly non-fictitious character that I know!
Kills every even night, and silences a player on odd nights (unless they suck her finger... like thisss). Secrets.

Lecithin E.:
oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes. oh no oh no oh no oh no.
Insanifies a player every night with his experiments. Once in the game, the insanified player may be recruited to the Coquelicot Baddies. The player will take over the team's kill, but won't have BTSC with the other two or be aware of their identities.

So Mimi is normal-looking, with secrets. What if Scotty is Mimi and needs to get lynched Day 1?

And Lecithin E.... I think the Civvies need to lynch anyone who gets insanified. Can the Gay Parade Baddies (us) be recruited to their team?

Hello team! Let's kick these Civvies' butts!
