Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [Night 3]

Actually, TH voted last, so it is possible that he saw DF was a gonner and then voted. But TH was the one who brought up the DF case again after we let it go a little. On the third hand, he kept saying he trusts DH, so I don't know.
I might go with Timmer or Bea after all.

Thanks Epi, I'll stay up a bit longer then and see how tired I get :)
I just looked up the role again. If we assume both night kills were of civvies, it means he had -4 votes. He would be tied with someone who had 3 votes if he had 7 votes. Any votes beyond that, are those who actually got him lynched. So I'd say, if anyone is looking not to be on his team, it's Bass and TH, because they were the ones to seal the deal.

Then, we have DH who voted for Boomslang right after Roxy put in the 7th vote for DF, making it a tie between Boomslang and DF (3 vs. 7 respectively). On the other hand, we have Spacedaisy who was the only other player voted for someone else after DF got his 7th vote, but she voted DH, so if DH is working with DF, I doubt Space is too.
So for me, it's either DH or SPacedaisy, and I stand by my initial assessment that one of the early voters for DF could be a baddie (most likely #1-4)

I looked at the low posters and those who haven't posted in a while and at the time they last posted:

Hedge-never
Sabie, Lizzie and Lorab - 1/8
Mongoose- 1/11

I was contemplating that myself, but I was also thinking that an earlier to middle voter could have used the knowledge that DF had negative votes and voted for him planning to change it later if it comes down to it. But when DF started getting all the votes, taking off one vote wouldn't have helped him anyway, so they left the vote.
I remember there was at least one person who said that if something changes their mind, they'll change their vote. Like they were preparing the excuse for later. I just don't remember who it was. Maybe Juliets

Which is the part I did not like bc even if you and the others would have moved to Snow Dog there would have still been enough votes to lynch DF. So why Snowy in that instance when it would have made zero difference in the lynch outcome? Why not DH or LC or anyone else that had votes already vs someone who ha none.
You're answering your own question. If it was about saving DF, I would have voted for someone who already had votes and tried to convince others to join me. For me, when I see so many votes on one person, it freaks me out and I second guess myself. That was all it was. I asked about Snow because I genuinely wanted to look at everyone and feel sure about who I vote

Cars was a different thing altogether. I had btsc with a civ partner so i outright came out and defended him. That is not the case this game. When the game thins out and if I'm still here you will probably see me more vocal. At the moment I am clueless. My position in most Mafia games recently.

I didn't read DH as specifically targeting you with that statement. You seem to me to be jumping to the defensive pretty quickly... especially since I didn't find your vote for MM particularly humourous or... antical?

Anyways, that made you my best choice for a Day One vote. *votes reywaS*

It was rey, yeah. Really it's just because all of the posts he has made have come across as genuine to me.

That said, I was looking VERY much forward to hearing what he had to say today, especially re: suspects.

I understand what you're saying, but if in his position why not just wait until the curse is over? How much can you really say about someone? And we don't know what his curse stipulations say.

Not defending him, but I don't see anything wrong with giving him until N3 or D4 to see what he thinks.

Do you suspect him?

And I have no opinion of Russ, though I really want to hear from him. Especially since he voted for me N2 for the wand but didn't really explain it.
I don't know. When things like that happen to me, I can't wait to voice my thoughts, and I try to convey them any way possible, so when someone just does what he's doing, it strikes me as weird. I don't plan to vote for him yet, but it's an easy way to get out of having to contribute. I don't remember anything substantial from him all game. Was there anything you remember?

Both LC and DF have started out being my top suspects on day 1 and I backed off because with LC, his frustration with DH seemed like a civ frustration (the sort I find myself feeling when I'm wrongfully accused). With DF, the suspicions is still there, though not as strong, so I think that might be my preferred vote, but he's gaining a lot of suspicion lately, so I'm still thinking about it. Could be he's gaining it from the other baddie team though.

I do recall Bass making a post along the line of "I see the case on Made, but can we really afford to pull the trigger?" and TH's support of Made is well documented.
You call that subtle defending? lol I was pretty outspoken about it. I absolutely believed we should not lynch Made based on yesterday's "evidence". I think it was ignorant to vote for Made without considering all points of view. I stated a few times that Made could still be a baddie, but not for the reasons that people were voting for him. That said, I've felt good about Made in all his recent posts so I'll continue to subtly defend him because I think he's a civvie.
DharmaHelper wrote:Logically, in a game like this and in actual detective work, etc, it makes the most sense to start with the larger picture and work your way down into smaller chunks that are easier to analyze.

For me, the most logical "chunk" to analyze is llama voters.
That might be the most logical chunk for you, DH, but I don't see the logic in it at all. I actually think that most of the Llama voters were civvies who felt Made was being wrongly accused by Llama and others. Possibly a baddie or two in there since the votes were so focused on two individuals. But I don't think there's any reason to analyze the Llama voters over the Made voters, UNLESS Made is a baddie. And we'd have to lynch Made to find that out, and I don't think he's a baddie, so... unless you get Made lynched, and he then flips baddie, unless that happens then I don't see how we can possibly walk down this line of logic.

In fact, I feel much more compelled to look at the Made voters than the Llama voters. Some people probably truly believed Made was lying, but I think others were aware that they could hop on that bandwagon without looking too suspicious. Made clearly made waves on Day 2 and I can see the baddies in their chatrooms salivating at the opportunity for an easy lynch.

I really have no idea who I'm going to vote for. I feel there are too many players not active enough, and the fact that there was so much chaos surrounding Made's forced vote did not help things much. I think it just made it easy for the baddies to blend in.

I have a few questions:
1. I noticed a lot of Dom's posts end with a question of the "can you see how..." type. Is that what he normally does? Because I don't remember that. I was wondering if people might have input on that.
2. LC and Made both felt very strongly about DH, yet I haven't seen either of them pursue that strong feeling recently. I have to wonder why. Is it that they backed of because it didn't work for them because people were not following, or did they actually change their mind and if so, why?
3. Any thoughts concerning Mongoose?

I would really like to hear more from Roxy, TH, Mongoose and all the rest that have kind of disappeared.

So is this a smiley curse?

Dom, I don't think we can say much about Timmer, but the whole thing you suggested is something I really hope baddies don't do. I like baddies that actually try to play and look like they are baddie hunting. So even though some baddies actually do nothing and let everyone else do the hard work for them, my default is to think that people who so obviously don't contribute and don't even try to hide it, are civvies. Could be wrong, but I hope not.

I find what I find suspicious, you evidently do the same.
Apparently :p
That said, I think that the whole Made thing has kind of sidetracked us. It's made me focus on those who went after him, making him unjustifiably appear more like a civ. Now that it seems as the doing of an independent role, it brings Made back to being a suspect just like everyone else, but without him having to do anything that would make him squirm when pushed to the corner. Too bad

Timmer, I hope things get better. Sadly, I can relate, even though I hope what you're dealing with is very different from this. Fucking cancer has taken 2 close friends recently and is now threatening to take a family member from me. So this game is a struggle for me as well. Sometimes though, it's a good escape from RL. I think that's why I keep playing.

In essence what I am seeing DH and now you are saying is that I, a llama voter, should be scruntinized more bc I did not try and lynch Made. it just feels wrong to limit yourself in this way.

Actually, thats kind of exactly what I'm saying. I understand I'm unlikely to convince you that looking at a group of players that includes yourself is a good idea, but check my logic/thought process out:

Logically, in a game like this and in actual detective work, etc, it makes the most sense to start with the larger picture and work your way down into smaller chunks that are easier to analyze.

For me, the most logical "chunk" to analyze is llama voters.
I'm not fully caught up yet, but I just needed to address this post. Since we now know Made was not lying, at least about what every person who voted for him voted for, then your reasoning sucked, and if anything, this just proves what I said before. That since the voters for Made had a more "solid" reason to vote for him, it's much easier for baddies to bandwagon on that lynch then it was on llama's.
Taking into consideration that there are two groups of baddies, and the fact that we know civvies make mistakes and lynch other civvies, I see absolutely no reason to assume that there are more baddies on llama's list then there are on Made's.
And that's even without assuming Made is a civ. If he turns out to be a civ, I'd say the odds of finding baddies on Made's list are even higher
Since the reasoning for voting for llama was weak (apart from it being proven false), it'd be equally as easy for baddies to bandwagon onto him. By what you JUST posted, you've proven my point. You say the odds of there being baddies that voted for Made would be higher if we was proven civ? LLama *was* proven civ.
No, what I'm saying is, a baddie would be much more concerned in voting with what would appear as "solid" evidence, than a civ would. And the reason for voting llama was allegedly weaker, because there wasn't any "evidence". So I think if a baddie had to vote for one of two who weren't on his team, he'd vote for Made. And if Made is a civ, there are two teams who'd be more likely to do that. Hence the higher likelihood of finding baddies on the Made list

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [Night 2]

Since MP is the winner anyway, I'm going to give my vote to a person I suspect less. That would be....Bea. She's asking questions that seem very perceptive in my eyes, and I like the way she's acting. Let's hope I'm not wrong

linki. Maybe you should vote yourself and some people will move their vote. Not that I know of any reason not to vote MP, but the last thing zeek mentioned made me a bit worried

You have a point there. MP is the king of "he slipped- he's a baddie". No matter Made's alliance, civ MP should have been all over him.


Bea, yeah, I'm passionate. I make mistakes, but I don't think I make them more than any other player (I'll just remind you that while I was suspicious of you and trusted Kitty, you and Roxy were suspicious of me and trusted Ash). I just take them to heart more. I really hate lynching a civ, hence my strong apology before.

linki: good question. I think the only person he voiced suspicion for, was DH, and it was strong
I don't think you make them any more than any other player either. But I think passion can sometimes be misconstrued as having nefarious reasons and I wanted to point out the difference. ;) yea - we were snowed by ash. They did a great job of divide and conquer in that game!

I know what a passionate civ you are. I've seen it so many times. I know you really do feel badly when you are a civ and you lynch another civ. I didn't want that point to go unnoticed. Especially when people who are less familiar with your play style were starting to suspect you for it.


linki - blooper! hi! How's it? What do you think about everyone else? Who are you trusting most obviously besides MP since you just voted him? - Who are you trusting least? Why? What do you think about what's been going on? Cuz things are going on now...


linkie more - zeek - do you mean that you think trust in dom is less/more than it should be vs trust in mp? or LC?
Oh, Okay. Thanks, I appreciate it :D

At this point, I have a vote, but I don't know who to give it to yet. MP has barely been here. I don't get the trust everyone is showing toward him. Not saying he's a baddie, but what has he done to gain that trust? Dom, I started out suspecting him but lately it's gone down. Still, not enough to make me give him the vote. Anyone else will just be pointless. :shrug:

linki: I've played a few games with MP lately where he was all over someone who allegedly slipped, and wouldn't hear anything else. Once he decided it was a slip, he was on a crusade. Maybe it's different this time because he read it after it was analysed and not "live", I don't know.

Exactly why I think this makes more sense if Made is bad. He's used to getting suspected and going out early. I think he's just rolled the dice and tried something different.

I just think most people are giving him way too much benefit of the doubt.
The thing that bothers me the most is the part where Made asked Epig if he can share it and he said yes. The default here is no. Made knows this too. Just by telling us this, it automatically makes people suspicious of him. If I'm were a baddie, this is something I just wouldn't do. Again, only reason to do so is to gain something that is not at face value. Gaining credibility as a civ is just not worth it, and the fact he got so many votes is a proof of it.

linki: Agree with it all

I feel so nebulous on nearly everyone. A lot of people haven't said much still. There aren't a lot of people I'd straight up oppose actually, but I'm still a nervous horse about trusting people so early on.
Wait, what? You never explained why you trust any of these people. I and Dom both asked you and you explain nothing here.
I don't have concrete reasons that I can point out. At this point, it's just vibes on those people. The people I don't trust however, those reasons are a bit more tangible.
Who are the people you don't trust and what are the reasons that are so tangible?

Good, now lets think about how Boddy hasn't blackmailed Made, because Made could not tell us if that had happened... cool, now lets think about an unknown blackmailer whose blackmailing can be revealed. Seem fair? Seem balanced? Not in my opinion.
What if Boomslang is a baddie and this information somehow helps the baddies by making Boomslang look better? Just one option which would make it "balanced" Also, I was thinking that the way it was said or how Made said it was said, doesn't necessarily mean it was forcing a vote. What if it was a message just to mess with his mind? Could be so many things. The way people just used it as an excuse to lynch him without considering any other possibility made me think at some point that the person who was being saved was llama and not Made.
