The Syndicate

gypped

Baller.

Too late.

I feel like, if I'm honest with my feelings about whom I really think is, like, suspish, I'll just die or something.

Somebody help me.

I have opinions based on Day 0. Will report after a drink.

Well, another drink, but let's not delve into semantics.

Does anyone have any questions for me? Really nervous since I haven’t even seen a single episode of this show… Anybody know who Brent/Trent are? Killing one of them is gonna be an interesting decision, and I feel like I’d make a better choice if I knew more about them. Every Day 0 Poll is almost always nerve wracking.

Who wants to take bets on the first person to ask if anyone has poll info? At least there are only two options. Seems less likely there would be too much oddness with just two options to go off of.
The one problem I can see us running into pretty early is the lack of activity from some of the newer folks, but I’ll hold off judgement on that until more people start to trickle in or the days start to tick by, whichever comes first. Having inactive players (however intentionally) is only going to hurt the civs as the game goes on; having just won a game based on that, I don’t plan on tolerating it if I can help it. Everyone needs to pitch in.

This post is getting a little long but it’s late so it will probably be my only post of the night, better to make it count. Happy to be playing a full game again! I don’t think I could handle a 24/24 game again so soon after Watchmen. Ready to take my time and read everything carefully. Don’t expect me to fuck around with ISO’s or rainbow lists or whatever though.

Rainbow lists, as (inexplicably) popular as they’ve gotten, piss me off because they are annoying and serve no real legitimate purpose. Others obviously disagree, but I figure I’d best get my thoughts on the matter out early; I won’t hold it against anyone who wants to make one, but I won’t really hold those lists in a high regard either. But that’s probably my stubbornness influencing my game. I don’t adapt well to change. Now before I get too ramble-heavy, I’m gonna bounce outta here; bye guys!
Hello, DH!

Rainbow lists aren't popular.

This game is 48/24, right?

Agreed on nonparticipants, here's hoping we don't have any.

MP acknowledges this post, but doesn't comment on the saccharine bullshit contained therein.

"Really nervous since I haven't seen a single episode..."

Get bent DH. Fuck that. Pff.

That's my first thing.+

I don't know what there's a plus sign at the end of that thing. Must be all the positive energy flowing from me. Feel it. Get some.

Yes, what. Do they speak English in What?

???????

I'm confused, what's your point?

My point is you commented on his post without commenting on the bizarreness of it. That's strange. That is unexpected.

You're Mafia. I'm confident. 100% I'll stake my Mafia reputation on it, MP.

HamburgerBoy wrote:Hey everyone, and thanks MP07 for the head's up!

I'm also suspicious of HamburgerBoy.

And know this: I have ZERO qualms voting for new people. Never have. No one gets a pass.

Who said what?

I won't vote Epig because of reasons I have stated in other games, and he has qualified for an exemption by my current standards.

They legalize gay marriage in Canada or somethin?

Lol. Real funny. :P

But you're wrong.

But...but...what if I'm right?

Let's do this the old fashioned way: MP, why didn't you comment on the odd, purposeful tone of DH's post?

Not possible, my friend.

How many drinks have you had? :P

At my age, I stop counting. 14 is a close mark.

Trying to discredit me?

Spacedaisy wrote:Just checking in. I closed yesterday so apologies for not getting in here sooner. I echo what MP said regarding wedding stuff going on. Only I am flying to Ohio on August 1st. It is hard to say how active I will be from August 1 - August 14. Sorry guys. I'll do my best, but whatever happens I fully intend to have some fun here.

Never watched the show, probably won't. Sorry Logan.

I like rainbow lists well enough, I don't understand why people hate them. They are no different than asking someone to give you a list of who they suspect or trust. I don't make rainbow lists myself. Because I'm lazy. Too much time to change font colors. Can't be bothered.

I'm going to vote Trent, because I can.

I didn't like this post either, while I'm busy making friends.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Lol, the moment you have anything of susbtance for me to actually respond to, I'll do so.

You meant "substance."

Not "subtance."

Read a book.

Before people start to complain to Steve Harvey about me...come on now...

Let me just take this opportunity to say that MP and Spacedaisy are ten days away from making a lifetime commitment.

They're good people. Can't wait!

That said...come on MP. Come on SD... Let's tangle in some Frisky Dingo.

OK, that sounded nasty.

Frisky Sock is frisky.

Who is bad, Frisky Sock?

I've talked.

ika hasn't said anything of note.

I go to sleep for eight solid hours and this is all I have waiting for me when I wake up?

Roxy: Would you like to see an extensive example of how Xander and the Xtacles might secure the game a lot more tightly for the Civs, provided it gets the host's blessing?
I think he's ok.

I'll probably vote a new person just to incur Roxy's wrath.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I GUESS I can wait to cast my vote. You all are boring. Not frisky enough.

It's Frisky Fucking Dingo, where's the frisky?

Before the fucking?

I regularly have sexual intercourse with someone's mom.

This is why 48 hour days are a pointless joke. People seem to love them, but most don't use them. Makes no sense to me. It just invites the same six or seven people to say the same six or seven things six or seven different ways, and then when voting time comes, everybody else is all "oh noes! I have thirteen pages to catch up on!"

People I will vote:

Cookie - One post so far. Not what I want to see.

MP - I still find his reaction to DH's overly gregarious post disconcerting and not genuine.

Tiny Bubbles - Hasn't claimed being a civilian yet.

People I will not vote:

Long Con - More interested in organizing how (presumably) others use their roles (even if it breaks rules or the intention of the game) than looking for someone to lynch Day 1 and making some real progress. Waste of time. I like it.

DharmaHelper - RIP Twosimus.

Scotty - RIP Scotty

Failing a good sniff of naughtiness, I would rather lynch inactives early on. Even if they are civilians, you get people's votes and reactions and it makes those inactives useful. Leaving duds for later is a drag. And I don't feel bad for lynching them either.

You sign up for the dance? Come dance.

Scotty wrote:Plus in this game, which has 3 (and maybe 4) different teams, the majority of players are NOT on the team you are on; you would be best served (looking at probability) just lynching inactives early.

23.8% chance of picking team Killface out of a hat.

Politicians?

Saberfish wrote:Since it's only the first half of day 1, it seems like everyone is just eying people warily. I'm doing the same right now, but I've noticed some stuff (or at least, I think I have). I'll sleep on it for now and vote tomorrow.

Long Con wrote:Perhaps a 24/24 schedule should have a different set of standards regarding Participation Score?

I'm interested in trying to catch baddies, Epig. I think it would be very cool. I will also support lynching an inactive today. DisgruntledPorcupine would be my choice.

DisgruntledPorcupine wrote:;o
Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

For you, what makes DP's post guiltier than Cookie's?

Or, I should say, "What makes DP's lack of posting guiltier than Cookie's?"

Whenever I think of Cookie, I think of Billy Sunday in Men of Honor.

I would like to lynch Cookie Day 1.

Made wrote:Personally, i'm kinda in a lynch squid kinda mood tbh

Did nijuukyugou put you up to that?

I'm voting Cookie.

After some thirty hours, you manage to make this your second post?

Why again?

After some thirty hours, you manage to make this your third post?

Can't wait to see your fourth fifth one.

You guys should really color in the lines for once.
SPOILER! I was just about to watch it

This happens in, like, the first two minutes of the program. Hardly a spoiler, especially given the Day 0 image.

*yawn*

I'm going to bed.

Lynch Cookie.

Good night.

What? I would never throw a teammate under the bus Day 1. What an unfounded accusation!

I'm going to go buy beer.

I approve of this individual.

timmer wrote:Hey all, so reading back, I've got decent vibes from SVS (the point about Epig maybe not being drunk is interesting), I'm not sure I understand voting for Long Con, so MM gets a bit of a from me, as it was pointed out that the reasoning was weak. Scotty seems to be not enjoying the attention he is getting... do people who know his play style well have an opinion on whether this indicates a certain alignment?

timmer wrote:To get to the point a bit better re: Epig maybe not being drunk when he said he was... @ELOH, what is your opinion of this? If you think Epig was lying, does this make you suspect him of being shady?

I said I had about 14 beers. Not the same thing as saying I was drunk.

Sorry if you lightweights can't fathom that.

If I get lynched, my ghost will have to party with Andre.

My intervention damn well better not occur on Day 1 of son-of-a-bitching Frisky Dingo Mafia.

Four hours until the end of Day 1.

Side game.

How many people will miss the vote?

I say 7.
