The Syndicate

I'm a bit confused as to what is happening.

Do I need to sign up elsewhere, or am I fine as is? Are we exporting the player list to a new game?

Neat.

I really need to take a mafia break after my time in the crossover is complete, but I highly recommend people go play over on HCR. I'd love to do it myself. I'm sure it'll be an absolute blast. I'm actually including some mechanics that support hard declines on role claiming as an experiment. I thi...

I'll probably go watch Legion too. I just finished Mad Men last night so it's time for a new show, and I've heard nothing but very good things about this show. Its amazing on different levels. If you hate super hero shtick, still watch just for the visuals and presentation style. Its oggle-worthy f...

I'm in.

Great! It takes a while for folks at the realms to realize that there is a new sign-up placed, so don't be discouraged with a trickling sign-up.

I signed up because I'd like to give it a try.

I am inviting Syndicate players to try a game on the realms. As a mod, I enjoy trying new mechanics, fiddling with styles and things. Dabbling in the Syndicate has made me interested in running something different as a result. This is a link for a game on HCRealms based on the FX Series Legion . Its...

Actually, it's funny. I started out in Mafia on the now-defunct Lostpedia Forums. My original name there was Cerberus, but I got banned and came back as Long Con. :haha: That is actually pretty hilarious. I now see that the long con is that you were secretly someone they banned. Did that ever get r...

So, all we really need now are two to three people to switch to JoH. Any takers?

Ahem.

I really hope this is not my legacy.

Is it an hour 45? Are my dst settings wrong?

When does the thread close?

@Fred, My sanity and my soul. Should I join on Jack? I see Gfish claiming. Why on earth would you not use a cop action the first night if this is your role? Any counters to this? Because of the potential nightkill on it. How badass would that be? And once again, I didn't hit town with it. How in th...

If you are Mordin, you did this badly.

However, I'll be surprised if you are Mordin.

I never said I was good at this game.

Mordin Solus You are the very model of a Salarian scientist! And since you were recruited by Shepard to stop the Reaper threat, you have a variety of abilities you can use during the game. Incinerate - One shot roleblock with a chance to kill your target. Neural Shock - One shot roleblock nexus (an...

He claimed one of 28 roleblocks I claimed a role block with self protection. Is Epi only after you cause you claimed to have blocked him? Does a kill attempt appear on him in the write up? I blocked him. He claimed a town role. I relented and moved my vote off. Long Con and Dyslexicon moved their v...

I claimed a role block with self protection.

Okay obviously I am not gonna catch so I will try starting from the end and working my way back. Hey Silver. Want to help lynch a possible Reaver and probable Scummy neutral? Vote Epignosis! I really think Jack is scum, so I prefer to vote for him over anyone else. What do we have on Epi that makes...

DrWilgy wrote:-That was @Epi

Linki- alot on the line gfish? What did you put on the line?

Information, reputation, and a streamlined way to figure out my role.

Epi, please help the civs and vote Jack. Please don't punish all the civs for afew being wrong/misguided/mafia. I'm not punishing anybody. I'm also not doing their jobs for them. But you aren't allowing those who at least are trying to take a chaince fpr the gain of info to be rewarded by throwing ...

Homie, you aren't hunting. You want to look like you are hunting, but you aren't. Your "safe" Epi vote reinforces this more so. You gathing info that you aren't using reinforces this. Your acceptance of ravens half answered questions reinforces this. Your hard claim w/o any investigation ...

Another idea occurred to me: suppose Epi is Reaver aligned, not Geth. Epi claims Geth. If Geth is in the game, Geth has no reason to share it. This opens a one-way information flow. Geth now can follow Epi's lead. Due to Geth's power set-up, people have a disincentive to target Epi, believing him to...

Tbh, I've barely read today. Work and such. The freshest thought I have on you is that 80% you are bad and 20% I just want validation at this point. Your RB claim is bs btw. You barely read my post let alone this phase. Why do you think I'm bad? And don't just say because I'm going after Epi - that...

Also it seems Gfish is most likely with Cerberus. Epi being the safe lynch is only true for Cerberus. It's also the easiest lynch for a Cerberus player. Epignosis 5 - Long Con (9), Dyslexicon (14), Jackofhearts2005 (18), gfishfunk (20), Immortal_Raven (21) 1. Why do you think that I am Cerberus out...

I think you should talk more about nickles.

If Epi sides with the Reapers, he is only an extra vote right? Lynching him now doesn't do anything for us. It doesn't hurt the town and removes someone with incentive to vote against the town. How about we lynch a Reaper and get his vote power on civ side instead of being distracted by his role. S...

Its in the normal place. Same as the realms.

Dom seems extraordinarily focused on Jack. Wilgy seems almost as focused on gfish. I feel like gfish and Jack haven't interacted as much as on Day 2 as on Day 1. Possibly teammates? I could definitely see a mafia with Jack and gfish going for cbob night 1. I focused on Epi early phase, and then tri...

Also, want to point out that reading the roles, there's a very good chance of there being some vote shenanigans ongoing. So having the votes extremely spread out by EoD may have variable results, which may be fun, but not the best if control is something we want. Not sure if this has been pointed o...

Fred, care to answer these questions: I'll ask this one last thing, and then let other people post (I guess). IF Epi is a safe lynch, who is a better lynch and why? 1. Who do you think is the best lynch this phase? 2. Why is this person better than lynching Epi specifically? 3. Based on what you kno...

While I get your point about town value the fact that you think neutrals and scum hold the same value for the town is crazy. Scum should be worth negative as they actively lower the net value of the town. And while I think your argument is good that a scum-friendly neutral is a better lynch than a ...

Why would a townie target Epi? If he's Geth he has a self targeting ability, maybe he gets lucky and lands on Sovereign during N3...so he knows who not to vote for at that point. Not discounting the inherent probability of him being able to determine, A: Who reaper mafia is, and B: Who Sovereign is...

Here is my line of thinking with Epi. Sorry if its a little math-ish. Our goal is to keep the net value of the town high. We have 9 alliance members left. Assume each alliance member is worth 10 points. We have 6 scum left. Assume that each scum member is worth 0 points. We have 2 independents left....

3. Epi - he's the safest lynch. At worst we get a neutral that has expressed willingness to side with scum, on the slight slight slight chance that he's scum, then yay, we eliminated mafia. I personally don't think he matters that much in the long scheme of things, so would rather not waste a lynch...

2. Your vote is on Epi now, do you think Epi is a good lynch for the day? Absolutely. I would vote for The Geth if 'The Geth' were literally on the poll. If Epi is The Geth, then he's going to side with the Reapers. I have no doubt about that, because I believe that's the smartest move. That's what...

Silver Lantern 3 - Jackofhearts2005 (18), nutella (20), gfishfunk (21) 14%

Oooooph. Its that moment when you get on a train and see who you are are sharing seats with.

We'll several things happened while I was offline. @Epi - interesting move. So you want us to Lynch Long Con? I might be down for it. Got to think on it. Long Con was one I read as slight green. @Silver - I'm not overly concerned currently that you are skating or are too passive. I would love to he...

Long Con: 1. Do you think Epi is telling the truth about his claim? 2. Your vote is on Epi now, do you think Epi is a good lynch for the day? 3. Do you find this information (true or not) better than gut reads, alignment lists, or otherwise? I am asking now because Epi essentially stated that you an...

How is it not?

Fred and Dom are coming across as town reads as well. Fred for the claim and devil-may-care attitude. However, if I was going pure info dump, Fred trumps gfish slightly. I agree about Fred. Also, its a weirdly strong position because you can assume no one will attempt to kill him. My vote is remove...

since everyone is silent but I can see Immortal_Raven thumbing through the thread, I thought I would move my vote to him for pressure. Immortal_Raven, three questions: 1. Why do you think there was one kill last night rather than two? 2. Who has been the scummiest this phase? 3. Who has been the lea...

Our closed set-ups usually do not have all possible roles listed, and only reveal name + alignment upon death. Powers remain a mystery but are guessable.
