The Syndicate

Enrique wrote:Dom's "random" vote then switched to compete with Alzarius was also something. For me the weirdest part about this whole thing is that it was such a close race to the end, but practically none of the Azure voters offered any reason other than "I like blue" or "randum."

Linki: Not that I know of, but it does look like there may have been info flying around last night.

I didn't mention it, but the fact that nothing has happened makes this all the more suspish. We went to the planet he wanted, seemingly, (he even says so here) but nothing is happening, nor have the hosts made any indication that we have visited a planet. It did seem that he had info, but it looks like a bluff to me. Either it was a lie (intentional or not) or this is something that might benefit him, but no one else, and not in a good way.

I hadn't considered that. You do raise a good point. There's no indication that anything bad or good happened as a result of the night poll, yet if you listen to Zeek you'd think the world was going to burn if we didn't choose his option.

I firmly believe this was a benefit poll. What this reminded me of more than anything was Dom & Rose' opening poll in Pixar at LP. I think it is possible that night polls will all have a point in this game; it is something Bea & I have done before when hosting.

Sometimes the results of benefit polls are made public, sometimes they are not. Just because something is not in the post does not mean it did not happen. I for one do not think zeek was bluffing, and I do not think the push was unilateral; I think several people pushed to varying degrees. I will not be voting for zeek.

Linki~ zeek said he agreed with my analysis, so i think you have your answer, Metalmarsh. The Chosen Planet was the home of Adric, a companion. None of the other planets had this distinction. Adric, in his death during the tenure of the 5th Doctor, set in motion the events that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs on earth, and thus to human life. THAT is why I voted for it. All the other places had only baddie connections.

Enrique wrote:I don't think zeek is bad, just really stubborn. He's dedicated, I admire that, but he was a little too pushy on the poll yesterday and honestly that got on my nerves a bit. You're cool, zeek, dw. If all we know about Alzarius is that one of the Doctor's companions came from there, how bad can it be?

You never followed up on it. I'm not worried about that though, maybe you had different thoughts later on in the night. Or maybe you're a baddie. Anyway then you posted this.

Great, I agree 100%, let everyone make their own choice. But that's not how you acted later in the night. Far from it in fact. Your agenda was very clear that we should visit Alzarius. No explanation why. You completely reversed your attitude on the night poll. Here's an example.

zeek wrote:I am telling you all this is important. You don't have to trust me, you just have to vote for Alzarius. Voting patterns are everything if we fail to reach that planet. Voting everywhere because you like the colour blue is a complete avoidation of responsibility. We are choosing our destination, make it this one.

Enrique and Dom are my top suspects.

You're getting my vote for now.

Please continue to endanger us.

Well shit, I changed my vote, what more do you want?

I'm keen because I am. If you want to really know, change your vote.

Roxy wrote:MP - I did mean to hurt your feeling or upset you in anyway. I do think what you and Enrique did to zeek was the same in that you both punced on something insignifigant and tried to turn it into something it never was. You both tried to start suspicion rolling on him for an easy lynch vote reasoning for Day 1. I am sorry your posts you made do not read as a gambit nor did it seem like you just wanted discussion they seemed like you genuinely were suspicious of him enough to state you would vote for him day 1. Does that seem like who just wanted discussion?

Doubt it. And even if you were voting randomly you wouldn't have voted Alfava Metraxis and then changed.

Please tell me how you know this.
I was faithful to my randomizer. I read four, accidentally voted one, and then changed my vote.

He has info on the poll, and is assuming that everybody else does.

S~V~S wrote:I thought a number of people were responsible for catching MP in Python, Epi, but whatever. If you say so

Is he actually claiming credit for that? Because I don't remember him having any major part in it. I would credit that lynch to you, BWT, and Daisy as well as MP's own actions.

juliets wrote:Hmm...so both Epi and Daisy think MP is not bad. That carries some weight with me and makes me a little uneasy about a vote for MP. Maybe what's been bothering me is I find his behavior with zeek inappropriate and that leads me to baddie. But, one of Epi's points is you can be inappropriate and still be good. I really need for the silent ones to say something. Speak up, put your opinion out there.

Epi seems like a gambler to me. He's gambling on Enri coming back mafia, in which case he'll take the glory of catching a baddie. If he comes back civvies, as I suspect he would, Epi will shrug it off unapologetically. He's going all in.

MP seems to be throwing shit to see what sticks. If people go for it, great. If they don't, or if the target successfully deflects said shit, it was never his intention to begin with. Just gauging reactions. Hedging his bets, so to speak.

I'm not voting for Enrique. If anything, I'm more convinced of his civvieness than his mafianess after this exchange.

As for Epi and MP themselves, I'm not saying that they're bad. At present I lean towards them being crazy-brave civvies.

Can someone explain what supatown means?

As Splints said, we're going to be away for couple of days visiting my boi Chris. Then I have a busy day saying goodbye to in-laws and enjoying my last day in the states. Then I have a gruelling trip back home across the Pond. So don't expect anything of substance from me till Tuesday, alright? Have a good one.

But in mafia, there is no happily ever after. Everyone can't be a civvie variation.

True, but it's not like we've even had everyone check in yet. Most players haven't posted anything of substance. This smacks of jumping the gun.

MovingPictures07 wrote: Enrique's supposed questioning was really pointless from the start, but I interpret it as an attempt to try to get zeek to flounder, and increase suspicion on him over the coming 48 hours, because Enrique hadn't expressed a firm opinion on anyone one way or the other thus far. Even if he didn't end up voting zeek, he easily could put more suspicion on zeek with this supposed "slip" and then cause chaos for me and attempt to build off of my original 'suspicion' of zeek being bad.

Dana wrote:Is no one else concerned that our hosts got killed? How are we supposed to play with dead hosts?!?! But I do love how they were all creative with the names in the poll. That is now my favorite thing about this game!

Also two votes for Enri already? You guys. I really don't see anything that weird about what's happened. I feel people may be making a big deal about tiny things.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Bingo. It was really just a bunch of bullshit, and I really have no idea if zeek is bad or not, but I won't be voting for him this time around.

Um, MP, why would you do this? It didn't go anywhere so you just decide "I'll say I was never serious in the first place!" I do not like these mind games, people should say what they mean and mean what they say.

Also what's QED?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Third post in a row, sorry, but that post by MM just got my ping detector buzzing and it's irksome. It just seems like a way to blend in with the general consensus that apparently no one should pay attention to what I'm saying, which is fine, whatever, if you guys think my content is worthless that's totally your opinion, but it's like, really? How is the fact that I've clearly stated an observation of an interpretation of intentions I found to be possibly suspicious, suspicious?

Just let that sink in for a bit.
