Cool list man. One question. Where the fuck is Ansatsu Kyoushitsu and Shokugeki no Souma?

So who's in the lineup?

Let's say you're dealt a 3-5 suited in a 4-way pot, and the flop is an Ace-2-3. The guy before you bets the minimum after coming out hot with a min raise preflop. What do you do?

Do you tend to gravitate towards gut reads or logic, even if citing the logic takes forever?

Royal Blue or Royal Purple?

Favorite hair color on a prospective mate?

Which shitty super power would you have: the ability to deduce how many jellybeans are in a container, or the ability to gauge how fast something is going at any point?

I don't like being mafia all that much. I love being civ.

I uh.. What game are we talking about?

I think both are one and the same. You can't lead a lynch based on a gut read, you need to justify it so people can interpret it.

Royal Blue, I suppose. I didn't even know the latter was a colour.

My person of interest is a brunette, so I'd go with that. But I don't really have a 'type', since the whole dating scene isn't my thing.

Think about all the things I could win if I had the power to count jelly beans. I'd be rich!

You've not seen her on the interwebs? It's a meme G-Man! A meme!

I'd love to visit Japan, I love their culture. I'd also love to go to Canada and England. I had always had this goal to live in another country one day, and if I ever did it would be in one of those countries.

Briefs -blush-

I love turquoise. It's neat.

Spirited Away. I have a loyalty to Harry Potter where I should probably say that the movies are my ultimate favourite, but objectively, the last movie was shite.

Chess. I used to be really good at it when I was a kid. I haven't played in quite some time, so I wonder how I'd go now.

I am. And I intend to abuse that as long as I can.

Sloonei wrote:Have you ever encountered any crazy terrifying Australian monster spiders? Or seen a kangaroo in the wild? Has anyone ever sincerely wished you a "G'day mate" or remarked about putting shrimp on a barbie? What about the word "crikey"?

I have encountered some big spiders, but definitely not as much as people think I would. I think the closer into the outback you go, the more weird shit you'll come across.

I have seen so many kangaroos in my life. My high school and my uni are built pretty much alongside where a couple of dozens of kangaroos live, so I seen them nearly every day.

The only people who use that kind of slang nowadays are the older Australians. Us youngin's don't have a lot of our own culture. Unless you count wearing thongs as shoes.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:What is that imploding community you say you came from?

What do you study at university?

Generic (aka classic/vanilla games) or role madness?

What js your favorite band (or singer/musician)?

I study a Bachelor of business. I'm also doing a major in marketing which I am absolutely loving. It is one of those rare things that I think I am actually quite good at. I'm not sure if that talent is going to come with me into the actual workplace, but I am hoping that I can do something significant with it, because I do love the course very much.

I love role madness games. More than that, though, I love games setup with mechanics where you know absolutely nothing and you never do figure it out until the end. Give me both and I'm good to go.

I don't actually like music that much. I never got into it. I listen to coldplay quite often, since it's the only music I own. Other than that I'll just tune into the radio and listen to whatever's on. I don't pay much attention to the bands or songwriters. I couldn't tell a Taylor Swift song from a Lady Gaga song if I tried.

It depends on the exchange rate.

If you were a hat, what kind of hat would you be?

Why do you look so nervous?

What is your favourite mafia role you've had?

Have you ever been to Newcastle?

Are you looking forward to adding to our growing antipodean army here on the Syndicate? We seem to be multiplying faster than everyone else... next step, world domination. So, you in?

I would be a horse jockey helmet. They're cool.

That's my natural face! Such rude questions from you people.

I once had a lie detector role. I absolutely loved that one. I was able to learn so much just from one use of the role.

Will I be getting a salary? I'll have you know I don't plot the demise of my fellows for anything less than 80k.

Who or what brought you to The Syndicate?

Would you recommend us to a friend?

On a scale from 1 - 10 how would you rate your experience so far.... wait, this is the Syndicate survey thread, right?

Do you prefer to be mafia or Civilian?

What is your favorite game you have ever played?

Most memorable mafia moment?

Do you have a baddie tell?

How about a civ meta?

Have you ever had what I like to refer to as a "mafia implosion," which is basically one of two things, one of those moments you just completely and totally lost your shit in a game OR a time when as a baddie you did something so collosally stupid and thereby completely outed yourelf? I've seen some fun ones in my day, let me tell you....

Do you have a mafia nemesis?

Do you like to read? If so, what is your favorite book?

Hobbies?

Am I annoying you yet?

How about now?

Have you ever noticed that while peanut butter tastes amazing, the smell of it on someone else's reath is nauseating?

Cats or dogs?

Favorite movie?

Ok, I'll stop now and give you time to catch up.

Chocolate.

Sloonei invited me to play after our mafia community on the other site went to the pits.

Absolutely. But I feel like a lot of the people I could introduce this place to might not be so interested.

Uh..uh... ten! Or like, 9.95 because I didn't win my first game.

Civ all the way. I love not knowing things. Then knowing things. Then realising I don't actually know anything.

I actually can't think of any games I've played that stand out particularly as my 'favourite'. I could tell you of a game which I found to be very unique. Someone hosted a The Walking Dead themed game where random players were picked off by walkers each night. It had a lot of potential but it left something to be desired.

My favourite mafia moment would come from a game where I managed to sus out the entire mafia team without being killed. I'm still not sure how this happened. I am also pretty happy with my performance in Zodiac Mafia where I managed to avoid being voted for at all.

I have had a lot of trouble forcing myself to bus teammates. I really hate doing it so I feel like I give myself away a lot trying to form these weak accusations or defenses against people to preserve my team. If they get lynched I have typically just distanced myself from that player. Though I like to keep things fresh every game, so I don't think that'll help for your research purposes

I don't think I have a meta persay, but I do have some habits which I use regardless of my alignment. I say I don't have one because nobody's ever called me out on the way I act. So I actually don't know if I do or not.

I have definitely had mafia implosions before. It is a snowball of irreparable damage that usually ends up in an immediate lynch. I think I do not usually mess up, but when I do, I REALLY mess up.

It is more of a joke than anything, but I suppose I used to have a nemesis. I would always say in the beginning of each game that 'x is mafia'. I was quite good at reading her, though, so I could push on her if I felt like I needed to.

I love to read. My favourite book is definitely The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, but I am a pretty loyal fan of Harry Potter as well. I have probably re-read TBT about ten times, and the HP series over 30 times.

I don't have a lot of hobbies. I read, I used to write short stories as a bit of a time waster. I was published in a local collection of short stories from students in the area once. When I was young I definitely think I had a talent for writing, but I never really nurtured it so I doubt I'd be as good as other people my age. What I did do has given me a pretty decent writing quality that is helping me out with my uni stuff. Oh, and I like to bake too. Never get to do it much, though.

I am definitely not annoyed. I enjoy this. And no, I do not know the thrill of having someone's peanutty breath clogging up my nostrils.

I am a cat person for sure. I never really grew to love dogs, and I don't dislike them but I think they are far too smelly and excitable for me to handle. My two cats are very self-sustainable and they're just as friendly as any dog.

I don't watch a lot of movies. But this question, alongside the signup thread made me think of Spirited Away, which is definitely my favourite childhood movie of all time. I'll likely rewatch it in the next few days to brace myself for the game, and I am excited to do that.

How're you digging it so far?

'Sup?

What color are your shoes?

Who's the best dressed Syndicater?

I am loving how each game of the games here are kept independent from each other. It's good that vendettas taken from one game don't seem to have much of an influence on another. It's a very peaceful vibe in comparison to ...that other place.

I suppose that answers question 2 as well, but I am already quite invested in this place and I'll see how I fare against some of the more experienced players.

I have just begun my last year of uni last week and I am already feeling the heat. I have loads of group assignments to do so I need to get my shit together and socialise with people.

I have three pairs of shoes. One of them are thongs, so they aren't really shoes. But if you would like to pretend that they are, they are white with some black colour scratched off of them over the years that I've had them. They are some good quality thongs. My second pair are these really thick black shoes that have a really thick sole so when I wear them I feel taller. They are very useful when asserting my authority over midgets. My favourite pair are a blue canvas style shoe that I wear every time I go out. I had a brown pair similar to them last year but they needed to be replaced. It was a shame, I also really liked those shoes. I must have a pair of leather shoes for my professional endeavours, but I haven't seen them in a long time. But as you know, I hate wearing shoes with a passion, so this was a very offensive question.

Sloonei for best dressed male

I wouldn't mind doing this.

Luffy, do you prefer role madness game styles or something more vanilla, perhaps with a unique game mechanic thrown into the mix?
