The Syndicate

I hope other games like this will be played. It was a fun concept and I could see it playing out differently every time.

Also I didn't expect everyone to actually go through with my plan! But the thread got locked so people didn't have time to argue about the merits of it. I fully expected to get called out as the baddie for trying to manipulate everyone.

Fun game! Sorry for accidentally ruining it. :P

You played a good game though FZ. Shoulda kept me alive; if anyone could have been swayed by your impassioned and valiant effort, it was probably me. And I got a "guilty" read on you meaning I was the paranoid cop, so I would have been super paranoid the whole day.

I was pretty sure it was you though

I'll have one of everything.

FZ, the suspense might literally kill me: who did you NK?

What if there was a mafia game where everyone thought they had roles, but really they didn't?

Sign me up for your mafia-within-a-mafia, Eddie.

You're not allowed to investigate yourself btw. I asked. :P

Please don't kill me, Constable llama sir.

Started a couple of TV shows this weekend, The Sopranos and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I'm already obsessed with both.

How have you survived this long without seeing either of these?

Me too.

I assume FZ and Llama will check each other. Or rather one of them will, and the other will lie about it.

So what's the plan for tonight fellas? Other than avoid gettin killed out there on the streets.

I really don't think it's Lizzy, I think she was acting scummy on purpose. But what do I know, there's a 50% chance I'm insane.

Why? I think it's fairly simple. Either I'm missing something which will make me look either very scummy or stupid, I think it's a given

Well, you know whether you're a cop or a baddie, and I do not. I wish I knew as much as you did, but from my POV it's not clear at all.

It's almost like this is a game where the roles are randomly distributed, and we only know our own!

This guy, everybody getta load of this guy.

I'm so paranoid right now.

I'm the only one who checked Llama. If I'm the insane cop, Llama is innocent. If I'm the paranoid cop, there's a chance that my investigation of Llama was correct.

So you're right that the odds of him being the baddie are low, but he's not completely ruled out yet.

Why don't you think it could be Llama, FZ?

FZ. wrote:TH's idea just made it very clear who could be a baddie, and even if you don't trust me today, you know that come next day, it will just get easier. I don't think there's a way the baddie can win this game.

You sound like a baddie who's upset that my plan worked.

I'm voting for FZ.

Agreed. If we get it wrong today, I'm likely the one to die tonight. Which is why I'd appreciate it if Lizzy put a little more thought into her vote.

Lizzy, da fuck?

This post seems naive to me.

Could be.

I'll wait to hear more from the accused. The paranoid and insane guys probably shouldn't be in charge of things

I think there might be something to what Lizzy said about FZ using "civ" instead of "innocent". But maybe I'm insane.

Of course, Lizzy COULD be the baddie with a really ballsy strategy. She posted after Llama and FZ. If she was the baddie she could have lied and said she had checked someone else, and then we'd have a less narrow idea of who the baddie is. But the thought that Lizzy is the baddie is making me really paranoid.

I think it's FZ

I checked llama and he was guilty.

Lizzy, FZ and Llama all checked me and I was innocent. One of them is sane, one is naive, and one is the baddie.

I think that means that INH and I are the paranoid/insane cops. Curious to see who INH checked.

Based on my investigation result, I am not the naive cop.

Did anyone check me?

Fellow cops, what do you guys think about all of us sending in a check for the same person?

It can be me if you want. But it would help us figure out what type of cop we are, and it might also help us ferret out the baddie.
