The Syndicate

Okay I'm voting Dom for reasons previously stated and lorab since she has posted yet hasn't caught up or in fact posted again since she made her first one that is odd. I'm unsure of MM but wouldn't mind seeing him duel. I don't recall the case on Russ at all so I won't vote there.


Linki I think it makes Mac look slightly more pingy yes. I'd like to see what he says though.
I'd rather not duel hin today and leave him alive for another phase since I think it is to weak to lynch on

Or sig.

So you want me to duel why? Since I suspect you.




I'm unsure if I'll have time to post again so I'll be voting soon.


Mp that is very interesting i hadn't considered that on Mac until now.

Okay I'm here on mobile so can't quote.


@nutella some people seem to think he is a civ. I don't think he is on Wilgy's team but could be with the other mafia or independent. I don't want him to go up again right now either way. I think that would be bad for a few reasons.

But you're saying you suspect me because you don't agree with me .

(And yes, if Scotty isn't a civ, then we need to lynch him. And nominating him for the duel is like, our only way to do that )

I don't suspect you for not agreeing with me, I suspect you for pushing one player to be brought up again and again, it seems like a witch hunt.


I do feel better about you though and won't be voting for you today.

sig wrote:aaa okay, what do you think that says about TH?

IF he is mafia I could see him wanting to eliminate Scotty and having him duel would/could do that. Espaiclly if for some reason the mafia tried to NK him and it failed. Yes this is extreme tin foil hat, but I don't see why you'd say we should force someone to duel over and over again.

Okay, cool... and what if I'm not mafia?

I think your brain might be too focused on your studies, Young siggy-san. The winner of a duel gets NK protection and the prize of their choice. We already know Scotty has what it takes to defeat warrior doctors. We could build Scotty into a living legend.

So if you're a civ and think Scotty is a civ too (as postulated in your post), why exactly would that be a bad thing? Why do you go the tinfoil route instead?

I forgot about the NK protection, I still however think it is a bad idea. Not to mention a double edged sword. What is Scotty isn't a civ we would be giving him all sorts of goodies which would/could damage town.

I'm going to hold back on voting for the time.

I find JJJ a little pingy, due to his logic on the day 0 votes, but he is being active and seems civvie. I think we should keep an eye on him and maybe have him duel soon.
Dom as well my gut is reading scum, I think he is being scummy with his posting style, and I think he is getting a free pass by some players for the way he is posting. It is in little clips so he appears active, but content wise he isn't giving us much at all. I feel like he is attempting to fly under the radar, yet not be accused of being inactive.
MM for the reasons laid out by JJJ, I'd rather not lynch MM today though.
Jan slightly for his most recent post wondering why I wasn't active. This is also a minor ping though.
TH for his thoughts on Scotty.

Matty seems civvie so far.
Mac and DF both look good imo also, this is mainly a gut feel.
The last few people who voted for Wilgy are most likely not on his team, but they still could be mafia.

I don't see how bubbles vote was that bad, it seems like typical bubbles to me?

linki: Why? or was that sarcastic.....

Frankly I think it's already unlikely that a baddie team decided in BTSC to concoct a "Buscemi eyes" scheme in the first place. The entire conversation starts with that complete speculation.

Any conversation to do with prefect voting does, why do you seem to be discounted this view.

Turnip Head wrote:I've come around a lot on the dueling thing. I've now seen its merits. If we ever have a consensus mafia read, we should force them to challenge Scotty the People's Champion.

Metalmarsh89, would you like to duel Scotty?

I don't like this for two reasons.

One is Scotty is seen as a solid civ why sacrifice him? This seems like a plus for the mafia in case they come out on top.
Two why should we have one player go over and over again? This seems like a good way for said player to die since at some point the dice aren't going to go in your favor.

Also, where is Sig?

At uni :P

Scotty my man, I'm sorry I ever doubted you. You are the hero we need. Please be my sensei.

Bubbles vote seems like regular Bubbles, I find Dom's votes and posts to be highly suspicious.

I forgot to vote yesterday, sorry about that.

Hey Jan! I didn't realize it was you. It is a pleasure playing with you

No hello for Sig?

We don't "know" it was random, but I do think it's a higher probability of being random than MM's or Bullzeye's votes which were placed independent of any in-game conditions. Even if there's a BTSC plan to post Buscemi eyes, it's plausible for a townie to still post them first and screw that up. This doesn't exonerate INH; I just think his vote is less suspicious than the other two.

Okay, I think it is an equal probability, or it is possible that it is more likely for mafia to do that. True a townie could come in and screw it up, but I think that is highly unlikely. If it was planned ahead of time.

Glorfindel wrote:Given there was no NK, may we assume that Zhang Jiao is one of the non participating players in this game so far? Someone who perhaps didn't post from the latter part of Day 1 onwards perhaps?

I don't think assuming no night kill = lurkers is a good idea. This seems like a good way to just duel through the lurkers and not have any responsibility if they flip civ. It could've just as easily been blocked, the killer might've been jailed, ect there is a never ending amount of things that could've happened to stop the kill. I believe it is to early to make an assumption that the killer was a non participating player. Having said that I do think Wilg y calling out Lorab was odd.'

Since nobody else submitted any gorgeous Steve Buscemi's Eyeballs to the thread, I'm gonna reward Wilgy and pay Leetic back with a tip of the hat and vote his way.

Bullzeye wrote:Scotty's pitch won me over. I am also voting Wilgy in honour of our epic Attack on Titan victory a while back. If Gleam were here I'd have voted the both of them.

Jan wrote:I'm voting for Sig and DrWilgy, both of whom I know.

Don't vote for me, people. I'm not familiar with the concept that much and I won't be very active probably either.

The reasons offered by MM and Bullzeye are both references to different Mafia games, which strikes me as a nice excuse to promote a team mate's candidacy for prefect. INH's vote was motivated by something totally random (Buscemi eyes), which alarms me a bit less. INH had less direct control over who would post Buscemi eyes. Jan limited his votes to people he knows, which may or may not be accurate (I dunno who he knows, this is my first game with him).

I think there's a decent chance a member of the Nanman team propped up Wilgy for prefect, and if that's the case I'd lean to MM or Bullzeye.

I disagree with you here JJJ how do we know INH's vote was random? Assuming they have BTSC Wilgy and INH could've easily preplanned this. I believe I mentioned that early in day 0 as well.

To address Nutella, I said multiple times I wouldn't be very active this game. I just moved into my dorm and college classes are staring soon plus I have other obligations.

I'm posting as I'm reading.

hey caught up to page ten but with college junk going on can't read anymore right now. MP was seeming civvie,and I don't think we should vote for a townie and a maybe mafia person that seems like a very bad idea. I disagree with JJJ for thinking mafia are more likely to say lets target two pingy people. I've got a bad ping on JJJ and a bad gut read on the few Dom posts I saw.

I'm also wondering why Simon voted for SVS?

Besides that Matty seems civvie so far and I don't have much else.

I'm going to go ahead and vote for Dom for gut ping and Rabbit since he hasn't posted.

I'll try to log on again later today but no promises.


Also I found Sorsha's reasons for voting a little gut pingy.

Meeeeeeeeeee JJJ, I want to work for the greater food and I'm very motivated. In fact I'm so motivated that not only did I make this post, but I added ten extra e's to it.

Russtifinko wrote:Agreed, JJJ.

Hey, I REALLY like the idea of the "whoever does ____ first, gets my votes" posts. They prevent people from finding excuses to give votes to baddie teammates. So I'm gonna do one too, and would suggest others do the same (even though it's an itsy bit late for a few).

The first two people to post pictures or emojis of platypi earn my votes.

I disagree with this, people with BTSC can easily plan it ahead of time, get the pictures, and then post it. This could just as easily help the mafia since when one player flips the defense could be "It was random since they posted X."

Golden why bubbles?

I think I should get to be a prefect.

DrWilgy wrote:What is good everyone?

My name is DrWilgy and I am most definitely...

Actually... I'll follow INH's example and vote for the two people who tell me what I most definitely am first!

Linki - Hi Quin... Cheeky...

A Doctor!

So the way I see it the top three players voted on will become prefects, I assume this will give them extra abilities or items.
