The Syndicate

At least we're saving up on trees by focusing on the stew.

At Christmas dinner? Nah.

Both just as tasty.

I was just perusing the Hall of Fame lists. Who was Gotrees and why isn't he/she in this game?

But then again, I don't believe in having spectator chats for that reason.

My games will have spectator threads, but I'll also ask the players who sign up to commit to playing, except for extraordinary circumstances. If replacement issues do happen, I could always text my buddy Belshazzar to stop by.

Well, that was during the first days. I stopped properly following the action a long time ago.

Ugh, lol. Mac wasn't really a fan of the rule, but I reminded him that mafia can't chat during the day, so it is fair in that respect.

Considering this "reaction to lynch post" thing was something I had never seen until I played at RYM, I'm surprised that it's the RYM folks who have trouble following it.

sig was allowed to sub in when he had access to this thread? Weird.

Hehe, we actually talked about this in here (before there even being a real issue of a replacement), but Marsh found that there was no problem with it, if there was no real info the spectator would have.

You guys! Look! A mafia lynch. It only took 7 heist lynches in total.

God, some had Diiny ever since Day 1, Hour 1. I hate when that happens...

...except when I get away with it.

Jeez, even the Host is pessimistic...

I wonder if, in closed setups like these, if a lylo phase is not certain because of a role (such as a doctor), the Host could just imply it may or may not be lylo, but still leave the Day phase poll non-changeable, as if it would be lylo.

Even if there is no doctor, the mafia would have to kill a player tonight to end the game (and not lose someone to the lynch of course). Mafia has considered not killing a player each of the last two nights regardless of knowing if a doctor is in play. I don't think they would do that tonight, but it is possible.

lol wat pacifist mafiosos?

I forgot your game also incorporates no lynch, therefore mylo is also an option.

otherwise, I don't understand what'd be so different from Pet Sounds that, if a doctor is not actually present, this wouldn't fit the lylo criteria (except for...mafia abstinance? channelling my Epignosis here: why would they do that?) 6 civ casualties there as well, then D4 lynch sealed it.

Goddamnit

Darn, FZ wanted out?

This is clever or lucky mafia. They aren't stirring anything with their night kills. So convenient for them.

lmao

Can work accidents happen in this game, so that the fellers accidentally hack one of their own?

I mean, so far, it's a streak of 6 civilian lynches and 0 mafia ones in these Heists altogether.

Maybe it'll become a Syndicate curse...

...just in time for Triskaidekaphobia.

Hi.

Uhm...

What's shakin'?



Bye.

Hey guys, I think Wilgy was not bad after all...

Doesn't mean I axed for it.

Four hours till EoD = nope

Brace yourselves for 7pm ET deadlines, tops, when I'll be hosting, btw.

Or else brace yourselves for me falling asleep on the job.

Actually, just combine both of those in the expectations category.

He has fewer posts than me in this thread, though.

Also, how the heck did nobody use the barking up the wrong tree expression so far? Didn't anyone learn, since THM, that putting in-theme lines in your rebuttals is the key to your success in a game? (...assuming you also survive up to three lynch ties in the process, of course...)

MP's step-by-step replies ugh. him not doing wall-o-text syntheses might be a sign he's a baddie.

Golden has more posts that DFaraday in the game.

Sorry. I'm on Team "we need more pianos in this world".

Golden...taking 3 days and 14 hours to reach the same baddies I called out on page one.

If Wilgy is not bad, then je ne sais encore quoi.

I don't think there's a doctor (role) in the game.

tfw Marsh isn't writing TIMBER into his Posts every time a civ goes down

Epig better be bad or I just don't get what he's looking to achieve by tunnelling this hard.

So I guess Mac is confirmed town, lol.

Hey guys, I think Enrique was the cop!

Hi Enrique. OMG the cop got btfo for a second consecutive game. Even worse, this time.

If Wilgy and JJJ aren't bad, then je ne sais quoi...

Also, dat "post once during the Night" rule fail... Hard time for our Marshy host.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Well, this game has already eclipsed Pet Sounds in terms of post count.

Let's see if we can catch Talking Heads. Go team!

JJJ is only the 5th highest poster, even one place behind the late Enrique. Further proof of scummimninness.

What you described is having had info. It's up to every Host, but I myself would have definitely not let you go inside as a sub with that much collusion. Again, what I described is far more begign, so it could work, but... food for thought, I s'pose.

I'd probably enforce a PScore drop in Heists if a player insists on stepping down, if due to lack of mood or RL time, when my time to host would arrive. A classic format specifically designed for one's comfort and unburdened (by role-madness demands) participation and you'd still be signing up without any motivation or actual time to play? I'd not be pleased.

Whatcha doing here, Mattsu?!

Enrique just stated his intentions depend on Wilgy's flip, so a dead player would emerge before a possible substitution.

Idk I still feel the substitute (whether he actively spectated in here or happened to perouse the chatter) would go inside the game with a little extra mindset, even if begign tidbits. A sub civ could have in mind what spectators found fishy, not just what has been discussed in-game, and work the extra stuff into the game. A sub mafia would still have to adopt the team's tactics and goals, I suppose.

Felt the urge for a sec to comment on Enrique planning to step down, but then decided to better leave the Host clarify things. I mean, replacements are highly unlikely in Heists, considering there's a spectator thread visible to anyone logged in except the players alive, right? It'd be pretty hard to confirm the subtitutes are entering with no bias whatsoever, regardless if they posted or not in the Spectathread.

You're not even playing a game to hide your online status from. :P

Still doesn't make me look less of a lunatic, logging every hour or so whilst awake. In games, I can sometimes stay offline and do my homework before joining to post.

I reckon the second I'll change my visibility habits, I'll earn myself a free stoning in the ongoing or subsequent game I'll be playing.

The downside of these Spectator threads is that I have to log in every time I want to even check for new posts.

FZ is either a stressed baddie or having a hard time with the peek plays of a traditional game.

Is this the "Floyd is town" fad or why?

He contributed something on topic.

And baddies can't course-correct?

For the record, I don't have any views on Floyd, as of yet, but "waking up" contributions can certainly go both ways.

For instance, I imagine Epig will easily return with a suspish emoji on Floyd suddenly posting on-T.

Anyway, looking forwards to this EoD. The talks have been intense.

Golden wrote:Floyd - confirmed town.

I can't remember at all what Diiny (or...) got himself into (mild) trouble on D1 in THM. (Confirmed brain damage after playing that game.)

SK

or Deeny

(he's gonna hate me when he sees this)

Not sure what to make of Epig. He always does his shtick, to the point of alignment indiscernability, but his ping on Floyd is illogical (Floyd would choose to return playing, despite saying otherwise, because he'd aim to receive a mafia role...erm?) and his idgaf on what's going on otherwise is a gambit he could choose to use. There's a chance he might be the cop and choose to stay in the shadows, TalkyH-style (how are we supposed to abbreviate this game, given that TH usually stands for Turnip?), but this is also a shtick befitting of mafia Epig with (some sort of) plan in mind.

Also, votes are non-changeable in the non-existent poll and posts are non-editable in the thread.

I'll have you know, that was one of the main reasons I used this theme. :P

The baddies are even the hatchet, axe, and saw.

I meant the Host Post material being down to the video/version of the song I posted - not the theme-related details and roles.

Speaking of the latter, any sequoia in the game?

On an unrelated note, I still to this remember one of the questions in my IELTS speaking exam last year being about trees, what do I think of them (lolwut) and if I ever planted or hugged one (lolque!)... It made me pause for, like, 10 good seconds (which probably counted as a deduction in my score).

I said free any peek, turning out to be a red peek, not free baddie peek.

That being said, I'm just as confused as my Rico counterpart in the game about Wilgy claiming he either got to choose [handpick] his peek (and got Diiny and it was red) or that the Host randomized it for him and actually landed on a red peek and handed him that peek. Would a Host undermine a mafia faction's odds from the very beginning?

So I'm leaning either town shenanigans (body smokescreening, as Wilgy himself put it) or mafia bullsuit... actually, the latter gets the slight edge atm.

Looks like I made it easy for the Host to find Day 1 Post material. For your next one, use this.

Also, all this time, I copied MP's designs of the cop getting only free civ peeks, I didn't realize there can also be free peeks of any kind. Time to go change my game designs.

Scums are Wilgy, JJJ and idk, at this moment, I'm feeling a third could be dormant.

That being said, I wouldn't be half surprised if Diiny (or Deeny) flips rekt.
