The Syndicate

MovingPictures07 wrote:So,

Mac's Mom, HamburgerBoy, Saberfish, this is your first game on The Syndicate. What thoughts do you have? Any suspects?

Like learning to use the telephone, I just follow along with what others are sayin'. At my age it's far too difficult to make sound decisions when my marathons of Matlock are playing the background.

I never did quite learn how to use that old hunk of ringing junk the folks call a phone. In my day, ma yelled when it was dinner time and for nothin' else. You were on your own until the biscuits hit the table. And if you got there too late after playin' in the gully with the old rascal Henson boys, pa would give you a whoopin' like you wouldn't believe. That taught you to not put ma's cooking to waste.

Later, you cooled your sore behind in the gully while the snapping turtles tried to get a hunk of it for themselves.

Those slow bastards once got my buddy Clark so good, he ain't sit straight for 2 whole months! No foolin!

Absolutely nobody was going to vote Mac's Mom, everyone said they were loving her posts, it's one of the few spots Saber could have voted with a near-guarantee that no one would follow suit.

And his reasoning? "Doesn't like the cut of her jib".

Indeed. Saberfish has made himself a powerful enemy. Between my Rascal cart and Social Security check (not to mention my incontinence) I have little to do with myself but hold grunges on this new-fangled interwebs.

I ain't never been nobody's fool, and I ain't startin' now. If me and Saberfish were going one-on-one in shuffle board, I'd mop the floor with him so hard, he'd have to get a hip replacement. And I wouldn't even have to leave the comfort of my Rascal to score a 3 on a double bounce!

I usually randomize between the tied vote-getters. Usually.
I see. I'm casting my vote for Mac's Mom. I don't like the cut of his jib.

You'll regret that vote, you inconsiderate whippersnapper.

Back in my day, we didn't stand for such tomfoolery. That's why we massacred the Filipinos and didn't think nothin' of it. When the Kaiser came a callin' we also went an arse kickin'.

I still don't buy a German car to this day. Give me old Mona and a saddle, and I'll outrun your dang Mustang 10 to 1.

Long story short for this rambling old man, you're dead to me Saberfish. May God have mercy on your soul, after I get done casting it down to the Hades.

Sure.

I'm from a time where things made more sense, where the grass and air didn't smell like putrid children basking in video game delusions, where meat was meat, where the plays of Eugene O'Neil enthralled us all, where a man could get things done without being harassed, where you could plant your own food, drink your own whiskey, crack wise with the neighbor, rough a mother******* up at the local bar and not be charged, and where life was much simpler than how many "likes" you get on whatever doodad you carry in your pockets.

Mac, what do you look for in a lynch candidate? Is this your first mafia game?
'Tis my first.

And I'm lookin' for the one who gives me the most sass.

I don't put up with the kind of guff your generation revels in, no siree. Not after the things I've seen. They'd make a monkey shine your shoes and give you a quarter-dollar for obliging him!
You make it sound like you're from the 19th century.

Maybe I am. Back then a man was a man, and our country wasn't full of a bunch of sniveling nincompoops who don't know a steer's rear from the horns.

That kind of ignorance got you in trouble in my day, yessum.

That man is an impostor. He looks strikingly similar to old Jack McCraggal, an old devious fellow I used to run rum with back in the Prohibition Era.

We used to flood the southern market with hooch from Cuba, before the commies and fascists started killin' each other.

Back then you used to get a mint julep and a slice of pie for nickel. The pie filled you up, and the whiskey kept you dancin'. That is until Johnny Law came a knockin' and you hustled your hiney out into the streets where the dogs would get ya if you weren't as fast as the next guy.

Good times, I say. Today's nothing compared to 'em.

Don't understand what LC is on about with the xtancle thing but that does not make him suspicious in my mafia playbook what does read suspiciously is Scotty's take on LC's post about it but I won't be voting Scotty Day 1 but may consider it for Day 2.

I also won't be voting Hambuger Boy, Ika, Sig, Mac's Mom or Saberfish.

I likely will not be voting Das Porcu or Made either.

Everyone else is fair game for me

I am not liking Gmans style this game the Magic 8 balls have always given me the creeps. It, however, is nothing to vote over.

I totes believe SVS when she said she had misread the roles. I read them and still do not understand them all.
Wish I was apje and could ask a ton a poignant questions about them.

I will catch back up after work and see if I feel anything else.
Would you be willing to explain why the players you mentioned are exempt from your vote?
Sure but you should know me well enough by now to answer this question for yourself.

Scotty, Mac's Mom, Sig, Ika, Saberfish and Hamburger Boy are new players to me since I do not remember playing with them before (I may have played with Ika but I do not remember) so since I do not like to vote for new players I won't vote them on Day 1.

As for that prickly Porcupine and Made - well it has been sometime since I have played with either so I would like to enjoy more than one day of playing with them before I layeth the smackdown of my vote onto them.

Its been awhile since we have played DH so I prob will not vote for you either tbh.
I'm not new. I'm as old as dirt, son. I highly recommend you respect your elders, lest I cut myself a switch and give ya the kind of punishment me pappy gave me as a lad.
Um- first I am not your "son" bc I am a girl and a mother. Second if anyone is giving the switch to anyone it would be as I am a mom . third you are new to this site which now makes your whole post a moot effort
Fourth. I do like your style

In that case, thank you ma'am!

I'm getting up there in years, and can't tell who the young'ns are anymore. What with these meds and my stories being cancelled, it's my job to hold the line against our crumbling civilization.

Hence, I've taken to this game at the recommendation of a friend. He looks a lot like this little feller ---->

What do folks make of DH's vote for Epi? Does it say anything about alignment for you, however small?

I have to get back to being frisky with my PhD work, so I'll be back at some point, IDK when.
I feel like those 2 have history and can't make anything of it one way or another. DH didn't really explain it thoroughly either.

I'm more interested in Roxy.

If she's not voting for me today, I guess there's no limit to how obnoxious I can be. I mean, she won't vote for me, so why worry?

I'd vote for a newcomer in a heartbeat. If they don't post, however insignificant, then they're useless to me. I'll always err on the side of people that have played before and know better, but I wouldn't put it past me to vote, say Mac's Mom or Hamburger Boy (McDonalds isnt paying me enough for this endorsement).

If sig doesn't post in the next day, and if there isn't a resoundingly suspicious read, I'll probably be voting sig. I've at least played with him before.

But we'll see.
Yeah, well I'm posting now. Don't get your undies in a bunch.
I go commando.

Do you have anything to add to the conversation?

Now that leaves sig as the last person that hasn't posted.

Looking at the lowest posters right now. These are the ones that stand out to me right now.
sig- 0
Disgruntled Porcupine- " ;o "
Tiny Bubbles- 2
Mac's mom- 3-
ika- 4

So far, Mac's mom has just barked threateningly thrice.
Disgruntled porcupine is the one that stands out to me. Like, what even is that post. Birdo?
TB and ika- nothing of note, though ika did ask LC about his color scheme. neither have posted in a while
I don't like that sig has posted, and he stands to get my vote today but porcupine is a close 2nd right now with that post.

I commend your use of "thrice," sir. Bravo.

But you won't catch me saying "oh noes, I can't catch up!" Because despite not saying much, I am keeping up. I'll issue some thoughts tomorrow after work. I am up much too late and have been working on wedding projects.

The excuses are strong with this one...
