The Syndicate

Lovin this 11pm deadline tho.

So did ya send a PM to JJJ or not?

I dislike the idea of Night phases being locked. Reducing an entire phase to just a team and maybe two other players sending a PM feels hollow and uneventful. As a Host, I'd probably feel like I cut the power to my own electric circus creation and am just staring at it dead for 24 hours.

Not sure if I dislike the idea of Mafia not having Day-time BTSC, despite the imbalance I'd obviously keep by depriving them of that, but keeping Night phase flow. Mafia are fighting an uphill battle by default; one D1 with no coordination beforehand doesn't sound like a biggie, if afterwards you plan out how to act during subsequent cycles. And you can still stay sharp during D1, if you put in effort. So the Mafia is tested, but not indefinitely and not without finding alternatives to perform well. Shutting down the Night phase excludes any performing in its entirety.

A PM would be nice, to treat our Host kindly on his first Syndicate mission. I have to run off to German class, so leave a note here if any of you sent a PM, or else I will in a couple of hours.

Hey Dr. Scum, zebra deserved that one in the Champies.

Don't quite understand how they'd reach this conclusion. If we kill a smokescreener, his green peek will have been BS, and the civs will go "Ha! Ha!" on us being gullible. If we kill a non-claimer, they'll, at best, think "well, what was that all about".

I don't think zebra will flip cop, because if she is the cop, she chose or rolled a very unfortunate role to draw attention. She did anyway, since we're killing her, but just sayin'.

No leads on cops, wouldn't touch the green peekers for now. TH was already under suspicion, his Day 2 could potentially get worse. Daisy is coasting so far, but I wouldn't test her claim atm either.

Ok with zeebs.

Ann Veal. She hardly shows up in the first season.

Elohcin wrote:If we're picking at random, I say Zebra. WHat's up with her writing in black?

She's writing in an ink meant to keep her invisible, bland and hard to notice, just like her character.

I don't have any leads on the real cop. We could divide players into who might look bad after today's lynch and who's disposable.

Or we could kill the marmot.

He basically just bombards the scenes he is in while wearing some sort of costume/disguise. I changed my profile pic and plan to keep changing it every day into a new disguise that Gene used in the show.

What the. Lol? Yeah, that'll probably never catch on, unless you suddenly reveal yourself, the way Gene does in the series as well.

MP claims Eloh is civ -> MP dies -> mafia must've thought he is a cop and Eloh is civ.

I am down with this idea.

Two to one, then. But I'm telling you, it's against mafia logic to target the green peek bullsuiter who actually named a mafia as his green peek. Hysterical civ laughs will ensue - even at the loss of their precious narrator.

Can we afford not targeting a person who might actually be the cop?

Well, I just said we probably shouldn't target green peekers, because they might be smokescreens, so maybe we shouldn't give the civs reason to laugh at us taking the bait.

I certainly didn't pick on anyone else who could be the cop. Did'you?

Also, apart from me, you two are pretty apathetic so far in roleplaying, which I'm surprised hasn't drawn even more suss. Are you really Lindsay, Wilgys? I don't even know what role Eloh drew.

I was planning to go game suicidal, like I promised I would after the Tranq affair in Champies (you two are out of that game, so I figure we can mention it out loud), and post just my roleplay banter, lurk, take a pee on votes and leads and such. But drawing a baddie role hindered that a bit, plus I couldn't help getting more involved in the game, over the past two days, as well. Mafia is like a hand twitch you can't control...

Anyway, I think we all received some dirt on us, although without creating major reverberations. Plus, you apparently suss'd Eloh, and I just suss'd you, so yay for distancing.

Onto the issue of who da cop is, what we know is that it's definitely not MP, since he green peek'd Eloh, lol. That should usually signal to us that he has no idea what he's talking about. Only other civs who have green peek'd were Spacedaisy (Love) and TH (G-Man); they also engaged in cop-talk, which could either be further smokescreen or them hiding themselves behind the bluff. Anyway, my gut tells me not to search them for the cop right now.

Also... Why the fuck am I bad again? Why do I always roll a baddie?

It's going cause trust issues.
