The Syndicate

Speedchuck indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom Speedchuck is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for the playing of forum-based mafia-style games, that Speedchuck may be complete, thoroughly equipped for Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3.

How long, THE GAME? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my Chatzy,
Having sorrow in my role daily?
How long will the Evens be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O lord THE GAME;
Enlighten the players,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest the players say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I change roles.

But I have trusted in Your random selection;
My role shall rejoice in Your salvation.

I will sing to THE GAME,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

When Speedchuck came into the region of Mafia The Syndicate, He asked His fellow players, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Speedchuck, am?”

So they said, “Some say an Even, some an Odd, and others a Nine or one of the Primes.”

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

What do you think? If gman has a hundred roles, and one of them goes to Speedchuck, do they not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the role that is Speedchuck's? And if they should find it, assuredly, I say to you, they rejoice more over that role than over the ninety-nine that did not go to Speedchuck.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Just having fun. Take another guess. The hints are there.

My role isn't associated with Christianity.

Gosh, this is some good day zero fun.

See, this is why I don't DM riddles anymore. I'm really bad at clues.

juliets wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2017 3:27 pm speed, see if you are comfortable answering this - is there a reason why you want us to know your role?

Yes. It won't hurt me for people to know (with this role anyway), and riddles are fun.

juliets wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2017 4:08 pm speed, are you #49, #54, or #96?

I would never throw hints if I was a protective role.

BTW, if I could vote right now, I'd vote for Rico. C'mon, man. That's a terrible gimmick. There aren't even any wolves. I'd prefer any other gimmick to this one.

If anyone is interested, let's play a game.

Spoiler: show

The 2-3 hints are in these quoted posts. They're bad hints, but I think figuring it out is possible. I don't have much of a prize to give, but the first person to figure it out will guaranteed not be voted by me all game, no matter what role I end up in. I promise that. Guesses can be made in groups of three. Another player has to guess before you can throw three more out there.

Good luck!

Bonus points to people who can tell me what the hints actually are.
If nobody wants to play...

The first quote suggests its a role where the person who targets Speedchuck is affected negatively. 13 isn't the only role that does that, but it's particularly extreme, and I also note that it was the first thing on speed's radar to say.

The third quote is psalm 13.

Not sure about how the Timothy quote fits in, but two out of three aint bad.

Golden, you get all the points. I am 13.

The timothy passage was just a pointer to tell people to look at the scriptures, that they would help. The other two clues you nailed. Congrats! I will not be voting for you this game.

juliets wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 6:38 am It was not indicative as to whether he was bad or good, he did it as both factions.

There is no bad or good in this game, so I doubt it says anything about Rico.

But there are no wolves, witches, or mafia. And that makes this discourse useless.

Follow the steps. Step A: Sacrifice a goat
Then go to step B: Massage your throat
Step C is simple: Cross over a moat.
Then take your vote and vote and vote and vote
Doesn't matter where it goes
As long as your finger's on your nose

Aside from what other people have said, I'm curious as to what your voting criteria is. Rico is not on my team, and his posting contributions are not as interesting, fun to read, or engage-able as everyone elses. I'm playing this particular game to have fun, and so I'm voting for the person with the least fun in their posts.

I don't need to cop out, though. There won't be any voter analysis in this game. There is no scum.

Yep. Gotta dust off my microphone.

This will be my worst performance in any mafia game ever.

I mean, if INH wants the lynchy, I'm happy to give it to him. Anyone with me?

ALL IN ON INH

Yeah, DDL, I'd advise not lynching #13

Uhhhh become a prime and join me? TBH I'm not sure how the game works or how the teams win. Maybe there's an overrun thing? If so, then kill all the other primes.

If a player kills me, they lose anyway, unless they reincarnate into the sevens. Bring it on early, if you want to take your chances with reincarnation. Otherwise you waste a kill on me AND make me lose.

Would have helped if I'd ever heard "Let's Get It On" before yesterday. Hmph. I'm young.

You were probably conceived because of it.

Doubt it. My parents have more eclectic musical tastes.

colonialbob wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 10:48 am Finally, because I'm an insufferable hipster (but only in certain very specific niches), I'm going to vote speedchuck's rendition.

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

If someone has a kill tonight and wants to bite the bullet, here I am. Good luck reincarnating into the 7s.

If I'm not bluffing. :P

I accept your kill. Come at me.

I don't actually have a kill. I'm role #13. Probably.

AAAAAH we have post numbers!

I am in a love/hate relationship with my role. Which is #13. Yeah. You can see why, right?

Hold up

What is LC's current role? I will not vote a suicidal non-claimer. He could be pulling a fast one on us.

On this note, why did you roleclaim?

Do you want to nightkill me?

Wait, also, do we keep getting reincarnated until the numbers run out?

I think so, yeah.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 4:56 pmThat is, is staying alive important? Is there a method to the role madness?
I'm beginning to toy with the idea that staying alive is strategically deficient, at least in the early running. You probably get more information by dying and getting new teammates.

But you can also get that info from those that die and join your team. If you like your current role/team, you could go ahead and kill those that aren't on it. Maybe they would reincarnate onto your team.

Also, the people in chatzy don't have to use their username or tell you jack. So info can be taken away from someone that is trying to hop teams and spy.

Golden wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 5:46 pm That's a good point speed. Info could work both ways. There is an extent to how you can control it, though.

I still haven't really got my head around what benefits me and what benefits others in this game. I think the goal should be to put yourself in the best position come final 21 roles. I just don't know how that is done.

Easy. Have role #13.

I think it would be very wise for everyone involved to kill this incarnation of you early.

But also, I think that come use of "the button".... there's no guarantees you'll be the one sitting in role 13 afterwards. Just a hunch. I don't think anyone should be planning on still being in their current role at the end of the game even if that role survives.

Wise for everyone. But not for anyone.

Also, I'm going to ignore that second paragraph.

Hey now. Here's an idea: Everyone votes for me, then jumps spot at the last second so as not to be the ultimate vote.

It'll be hilarious. Who will doom their team? Who will become a likely permanent liability? Or you could leave me alone and see if Rico has the guts to lose the game.

Golden wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 11:38 pm What is the ultimate vote? Is it the last one or the one that puts you one ahead?

No idea. Who wants to find out!?

You can claim your role. 100% sure.

Oh, good, we have a mod. Now I can insult people. And we have post numbers. POST #234 SUCKED!

Glad I could get that off my chest. *goes to check post*

Hm. Irony and coincidence must be dating again.

Voted for DDL.

I don't mind to shit on this role of G-Man's, I just can't bring myself to participate in something like this due to my own issues. I'm also just really not comfortable putting my voice online (as stupid as that sounds)

Any way you can pass it back to me? What song we talking?

Go for it.

Wait, we lynched Rico. Does that mean he's not going to kill me?
