The Syndicate

I think this was a great experiment, and it went pretty well I think overall.

No, they would be decided randomly.

But this is a mafia background that I'm used to. If there are equal number mafia and civs at the start of a day phase, then mafia wins. Even if it was a no death, the civs have 0 chance at that point.
Flase. If SVS and Splints voted for Roxy and Rox and Epig voted for SVS, and the ranomizer picked Rox, the night phase would have started 2 civs, 1 baddie. The civs could have been protected or the baddies could have ben blocked, and even if not, the following day lynch would have been a 1 v. 1 tie, which could have gone to the civs. Unlikely, but greater than 0 by a wide margin.
I know, but being that the mafia reduced the civs numbers down to equal their own, it would be most unfortunate for the baddies to have almost certain victory snatched from them by chance, considering they played the better game up to the point. They played the game better, so they get the win. This is the reasoning I am accustomed to. I am open to change, such as no lynches for a tie, or even a no lynch option. But that would be for a later game.

We generally let it go down to the wire, or until outnumbered. Like with the block dead with MP, I would have let it go one more cycle. Had we lynched a civ, I would have ended it then.

For a day one vote I thought it was better than random

Sorry I was wrong about you Juliet's but I am pleased I was right about Epi.

I am about to go to my brothers and start playing on my tablet. So I might run a bit late.

Join me at the zombie bar, Made? I like the cut of your pseudo-philosophical jib.
Do we have a zombie bar thread here?!?! That was the best on STV/HV

Start one

Sorry Llama, but I fight back if being wrongly lynched, that said, unless the blocker/protector do a good job tonight, we might be screwed.

Yeah, i said "we" Epi.

And a reminder that traps are NOT bad things.

They can be. In Python, when Made sais something suspicious, you set him up a bit, and I went and found that what he said was true, and I said so, you got annoyed at me for wrecking your trap. And he wound up flipping civ. So traps are not civvie minded IMO, since they can trap civs as well as baddie. Traps are more of a baddie thing to me.

And I am not bad. You can't read me to save your life.

thellama73 wrote:Well shoot. I as really looking forward to this game.

Me too

We want to try it in a chatroom, and in IRC as well, to see how different formats work.

I almost want to vote juliets still
Although that wouldnt really help. I hate ties

Personally I still think she could be bad. But when Llama lumped us together, I reacted to the totality of it.

thellama73 wrote:Guys, seriously, please don't lynch me. I'd like to win this one. Also, SVS is bad.

Guys seriously, I am NOT bad. Like not at all and his reasons for thinking so are crap, and Epis are as well. I would like to win it too.

And you are dead wrong about me.

thellama73 wrote:Also, I see that I already have two votes. I urge others not to vote for me please. SVS is the droids you're looking for.

No she isn't. There was no No U, and there is no baddie anything.

thellama73 wrote:Rox, I agree that she sounds genuine in her frustration. THAT's a big part of why I suspect her.

Then you don't know me at all. I tend to stay cooler when i am bad, I win way more games bad than civ, unless someone asshats me and I have problems handing confrontation sometimes for various reasons. So if you are reading this as baddie frustration you are dead wrong.

It's frustrating when people are right in their suspicions, but for the wrong reasons, isn't it?
It's also frustrating when people are adamant in their wrong suspicions.
Not as frustrating. Why are you so sure SVS is good?

Since the No U thing was wrong, why are you so sure I am not?

And seriously, voting now, so I can walk away for a bit.

I am included with the civs, which is why I said that. Had i said it in a way so as not to include myself, you would have thought that suspicious. And Juliets, while I still kinda suspect you, i am sorry I asked you that question allowing you to fall into a ludicrous non trap by discussing something that would be perfectly normal to discuss.

Everyone that is playing this, remember these bullshit reasons, K? I will be back to vote.

juliets wrote:Epi I see you voted for SVS - can you tell us why? If I missed it I apologize.

Becasue he always thinks I am bad, I guess.

Epignosis wrote:No-U bars by Eloh. Enjoy that No U-ey goodness, with a satisfying, lynchy center.

I remember when you said No U's were bullshit, lol. Now you are voting for civs based on it.

You are wrong. Dead wrong. And for the record, I think trapping people is weak, even when that isn't what actually happened.

Awesome, Epi. You are once again wrong about me.

I meant seriously, one of your reasons for suspecting me was that I was No U-ey, and that was bullshit.

It does matter why she brought it up, and trying to blame her for that is super super baddieesque.

You are, but I feel like your posts have been careful to stay out of the main line of fire, prodding others but not saying much yourself, and I thought your vote on Made was NO U-y.
You answered it once, and this is no longer the case, is it?

And for the last time, she brought that up not because of your "trap" but becasue i asked her a question.
It doesn't matter why she brought it up. She brought it up. And I said it twice, you just didn't notice, which is forgivable in a game like this.

This was the only time I could find it. And you are mistaken. And yes, it does matter. She said that not becasue of your clever trap, she said it becasue it was the only thing she could find to say about Epi.

And now I have talked myself out of voting for her and will instead be likely voting for you.

Also No U-ey? I had already voted for him before he even mentioned my name. Go read the posts.

SHE WAS ANSWERING A DIRECT QUESTION I ASKED HER, "WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON EPI"?

That has nothing to do with your trap. And that is about her, not me.

You said why you suspected her, and you are wrong there btw~ she was answering a question I asked her it had nothing to do with your "trap"

Epi & Juliets, what is your opinion on each other?
The comment about chatzy was weird. How did he know it was down? I don't think he ever answered that.

What trap? She was answering a question I asked her.

thellama73 wrote:
S~V~S wrote:And why are you answering for Epi, Llama?
Because my comment was meant as a bit of a trap to see if people would jump on Epi for an obviously trumped up reason, and I think juliets fell into said trap.

I asked her & Epi what they thought of each other, and that is what she was replying to, iirc. And what does that have to do with me? She is one of my two suspects, lol.

Mine too, lol.

What did i do Llama?

General Mafia Rules

1) All standard mafia rules apply. No double targeting.
2) Do not infodump. Due to time restraints on this game, I may or may not be able to answer questions quickly and effectively, so please use your own best judgment.
3) Don't be an asshat. Asshats can and will be modkilled.
4) No really. Don't be an asshat. I don't think we'll have trouble with that this game.
5) I will be posting in this orange Halloween color. Do NOT us it.
6) No BTSC unless you are specifically granted it and provided a location by me.
7) All night actions MUST be sent to me via PM. There is a 15 minute window during the night phase, and I will be strict on this.
8) If you choose not to use your night action, please PM me saying such.
9) Please do not miss votes in this game. There will be no punishments because you should all be active for participating, but again, deadlines will be strict.
10) If you are posting offtopic, please use OT green for such purposes.
11) If you are a nonplayer, post in NP blue.
12) If you are dead, post in dead red.
13) Make sure to use sarcastic orange at appropriate times if you need to.
14) Rules are subject to change at my discretion.

Game Specific Rules/Mechanics

1) This is a simple mafia game run in the style of the Syndicate. There are no secrets.
2) This game will start at 6:00 PM EST.
3) Day phases will last 1 hour. Night phases will last 15 minutes. Phases may be cut short if votes/actions are all in.
4) Vote changes will not be allowed in this game. You have been warned.
5) Night polls have no effect on the game, if I even bother to use them.

Other

1) Please plan ahead for your night actions. I'd rather not get them all right at the end of the phase if I don't have to.
2) Please ask any question you have before the game begins. My hands will be pretty tied throughout this game, so I may not be able to answer questions effectively.
3) If you do have questions. Bold them and start them with (Host/MM/Newt: blah blah blah) so that I will notice them.

Am I teh only one who reads the rules? See Rule #6

And why are you answering for Epi, Llama?

I am not, actually, she might be. Why do you say that? I am a high poster :P

So Llama, what do YOU think? About other than Splints?

She is amazingly level, isn't she? Even when she is incensed, or when she is bad bad bad, she sounds like a lady

POE=Process of elimination

I am not sure, but i also think, by poe, that one of Epi or Juliets are bad.

Epi & Juliets, what is your opinion on each other?

I thought Splints sounded sincere~ she is sweeter & calmer when bad, I think. I think the point of that was to frame her. I also think Rox sounded sincere.

All right 2 civs down, not an auspicious start. We need to get a baddie today, or we're toast.

All righty then, bye MP

MP, didn't you vote for her too?

Also I voted for Zeek to win since he is bigger than a newt, and probably wears shoes and can step on things.
