The Syndicate

well that's a relief

By my mashulations, the following players have not yet died:
cbob
Dom
wilgy (really? what kind of game is this?)
Elohcin
sloonei
spacedaisy
speedchuck

there's also several people who've got a 2-death headstart on us.

Has anyone been investigating us long-surviving players for role clues?

This is my only ongoing game again. Hello. what are we all thinking today?

What are some roles that, if active, should be prioritized for a lynch?

Voting for Eloh because Epi said so.

Words words words.

Sorry saltpeter I was lazy and bad at Willow Rosenberg clues yesterday. I martinet NorthernBelle uninured and drew the ire compressibility villain insanifier today. Nutella also mentioned that Silver Golem tracked to be three different types DFaraday chowchow going around, and that observation was tillage but they all concluding from the knavery source. There is one insanifier with three different curses.

INH or plainclothesman is doing Lucy Saxon to us. You Yin what endaemonism saying?

Someone start a chinese fire drill on rico

I just now am realizing that Rico also died in that explosion. It could very well be his doing. That's what we call paying attention.

nutella wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2017 3:48 pm I don't understand the method behind Sloonei's calculations -- did I miss something that led us to believe the insanifier (also, surely there's more than one as we have seen several different types of insanity concurrently) is one of the people who exploded? Anyway, all I know is it's not me. Does it make sense for INH to have insanified himself (WIFOM/throwing off the trail I guess)? Perhaps it is really Sloonei himself.

I'm basing my theory off of this: when the four of us were announced dead, the curses ended. I speculate that one (or perhaps multiple?) of us was the source of the curses. I don't have to be right, but it's my best guess at the moment.

Besides, I don't know that I prioritize getting rid of the insanifier(s). Sure it makes thread communication more difficult, but we can often get the gist of what someone means and I think there are bigger concerns in this game.

what are the bigger concerns?

I do think we should lynch one of INH or nutella today (if anyone else wants to include me or even JOH, I won't mind), if we want to get rid of the insanifier. Maybe some of us are enjoying the chaos it brings, but I am Not Fun so I say we deal with it now, and if I'm understanding the order of events correctly, we can narrow it down to someone who died in that final wave of 'splosions.

What evidence is there for or against any of us being the insanifier?

I figure the town here is Morrowscape for the same reason it was town in Hybridity, despite the last man/team standing won conditions.

And the mafia here is the Umbrella for the same reasons.

It's about the illusion that Stranger told us without changing anything. Follow the illusion, save Morrowscape, eliminate the Umbrella.

You down?

This post made perfect sense to me.

I was on board with the countdown clock for this reason. No one was really removed from the game and we were gathering free information about roles and people. I support its reinstatement.

Putting a vote on INH to even things out between them.

Malkovich...

when did the insanifications start?

I ask this because if they started after Day 2, then we can probably blame them on INH. JOH was MIA for most of the game, so I don't think he lines up. It's not me, but you're all free to kill me if you want, and that (if I'm reading this correctly) just leaves INH and nutella. I say we lynch one of them today.

Hello. What are you thinking today, Dom?

I was kind of excited to see what my new role would be.

My head is going to explode just trying to decipher the insanifier.

DOES THE ABANDONMENT OF YOUR PEERS LEAVE YOU FEELING DEFLATED?

HA-HA! HA! HA!

I feel like Tom Brady in the company of his equals.

didn't we all talk about ensuring that everyone dies at some point in the early going of this game? where do we stand on that strategy now?

The clock is ticking on my head, I beg of you all! Please!

So can I just keep spamming the thread every couple of minutes to save my own head? I'd rather not do that. How's the game going for you all?

How many heads do we want to have explode today?

colonialbob wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2017 3:31 pm I have a hypothesis that the biggest teams are going to appear more commonly early on, with the smaller teams showing up later. That said, we don't have a confirmed death from the primes (the biggest team), do we?

40

Why? Why not the opposite, with small teams early, followed by a bigger battle between evens and primes at the end?

I disagree. I think it matters, the question is just sussing out how.

I've been wondering if there is any method to role redistribution after a player has died, or if it's all just randomized. It seems like it would he useful to figure that out.

And how do tou propose we do that?

Resurrected players could talk about their old and new roles and if there's any possible correlation.

24

Themselves? That doesn't look quite right.

25

Oxford dictionary says themself is not widely accepted and shouldn't be used in formal contexts.

26

Don't worry about that noise, "themself" is the most cromulent way to refer to a single person in the given context.

I think the problem is that "they" is becoming common for unknown third person singular, but it still 'feels' plural. So in this context I would use "they", but because it feels plural a singular "themself" feels off even if it is perfectly unacceptable.

27

Why are we talking linguistics in a numbers game?

For reference, we know that we've lost 44, 6, and 62, among others. If we were smart we'd be keeping track of all this with some sort of chart.

Game, thingy, host. Punish me.

I will try to be here in these upcoming days while dancing for free to atone for my sins. (But srs, I am sorry I haven't been here... I'd like to give more to your game, and I thought I had time to pay attention this past cycle, but ended up shovelling sheetrock all day )

I'm also gonna be here more moving forward. Signing up for two games at once is never a good idea for me and I ended up committing more to Street Fighter because it moved faster than this one. I'm dead there now, so all my energy can be focused here until we have to go look for Quin, at least.

That and I'm still not totally sure how to approach this game. How are we all doing it? So far it seems we've just been lynching volunteers.

I just wanted to vote somewhere even though there's no sense in voting anywhere in particular today. Get Golden gone!
