The Syndicate

Oh boy! First big game! I get to see most everyone's (hopefully) best, first hand

The game hasn't even started and I can't even begin to consume the 5 pages that were made just today. Like damn.

It's like if I even tried to start poking at someone, it'd be lost in the sea of arguments and finger pointing.

I mean that and the 4 quotes deep quote boxes (which are giant on my phone mind you)

By "hasn't even started" I mean no actions have actually happened yet. (Lynching, night actions, etc)

@MovingPictures07 It doesn't help that with so much back and forth between posters. It shifts focus to them and with such quantities mostly people do not want to read giant walls and will rather cling to bits and just vote with the crowd or whoever sounded "kinda bad"

(In my honest opinion, spoiler in your quotes helps so much)

I need to hop onto an actual computer to keep up with the update rate, hold on

MovingPictures07 wrote:So let's talk. What are your thoughts?

Okay so basically this is all i can gather from spending 30 minutes reading form page 2 to page 8:

Enrique vs. golden

Zebra vs Matt

Zebra vs. MovingPictures07

some misc. people conjecturing here and there

*GIANT QUOTE WALLS*



basically another way of me saying this is. Rather than going on a long winded rampage against someone, over what? a small comment? Like it seems most of the debates have started over just the silly picking of the first location. like yes, it's probably important. but like are we really getting anywhere with going back and forth on "how many times you said the word Frozen Yogurt in that paragraph" (this is sarcasm. terrible sarcasm)

but i digress. What i would like to see is a straight and simple reason that people are suspicious of someone. As my teacher once said "I didnt ask you to explain, i asked you do it."





Rant over-ish. You honestly cannot form your own opinion over the people who have the giant post counts so far in the thread since you basically have to side with one or the other. And everyone else (like me) who hasnt really done much or are being too intimidated to post, has to be counted as null, and scratched off the list to vote for. In reality this is a Mafia dream. ESPECIALLY IF IT'S ALL TOWN ARGUING. Like sit back, let them blow up for a couple days. once it dies down, start building on their mistakes.

PRE-POST EDIT: also within the time it took me to type this, there are at least 10 new posts

If you could sum it up into no more than 3 sentences, i could maybe understand you more on it

a2thezebra wrote: My feelings about the Arkham Asylum lynch option?

This one. Why are you against it and what was the issue with whomever, that you do not agree.

More so i want to know why it got so drawn out.

The matt thing was short, at least to my understanding. you each kept "twisting [your] words around"

and the thing with MP, well it looks more like a misunderstanding that should just be dropped for now. or alternatively to be picked back up later

(i'd be having a stress fit if i had to keep track of more than one thing and reply to it adequately)

a2thezebra wrote: I'm against it because I don't see how going to the place where everyone has escaped from, rather than any other place where we have a chance at finding out where they have escaped to, would be beneficial for the civs. I'm also against it because I find it shady how more popular it is than all of the other options. As to why it got so drawn out, your guess is as good as mine.

linki - Holy crap that's like twenty posts.

haha yeah

yeah i get your view, but i mean what's the point of arguing it when it seems like most people have already voted for it?

EBWOP: you could say we may go somewhere else, but with only 10 people having not voted yet. i dont find it likely we could go anywhere else besides the PD

On the other hand, perhaps it is easy to get tied up in looking for false suspicions in a game where most everyone is trying to find baddies.

"youre guilty until proven innocent"

Time to catch up:

I can agree 100% with Scotty on that.

I've got nothing I can shed any light except per say my visit to the asylum (which im surprised no one else who visited had mentioned it yet) this is assuming we all recipes the same message.

Preview edit: yes we all in fact received the same message.

Ebwop: *recieved

A good detective shouldn't ignore even the smallest of clues

Thanks for answering my question posed to you with a riddle or something.

So if you received the same message, what do you make of it, o Sherlock Holmes?

It was more of a smart-ass answer.

Well I feel we as players will interact with these cards somehow? Albeit Harley Quinn isn't a role to for us to use

I will do this every time, sig.

Also I'm still on page 21 so I'm catching up rn

DharmaHelper wrote:Enrique brought up a good point. The mafia right now are two groups of two, so like, does anyone think they'd have the balls to actively participate in early talks? I don't. This bodes well for the current crop of dicussions, and reinforces my thought that nothing suspicious has really happened yet.

Just wanted to quote and reinforce this concept for everyone. I think said something akin to this earlier as well

Enrique wrote:MP's a bit under the radar. There was that whole thing with Zebra but tbh I didn't really understand it unless it was just a continuation of Zebra/Matt. Otherwise idk what he's up to.

I think MP said he was gonna be busy for a little bit?

Is Matt typically a low post person? I feel like with the way he engaged with zebra that he might have had more to say, or at least something else to contribute. Maybe he just didn't want the spotlight?

Ebwop: on that first comment it should read "I think I said"

Enrique wrote:are you reinforcing that point to cement your place in the thread and ignore anything youve said sprityo

No? I'm just saying, with all the talk of low poster lynching, that we need to keep in mind that purposefully sitting back is an actual strategy.

Likewise, minimal discussion and say having complete engagement of say, a couple members of Mafia, helps distance themselves from teammates so that they can remain under the radar.


So when DH says that no one looks increasingly suspicious, and that they don't have the calls to participate, that I agree. And we should look out for that.

I'm bad at words, so hopefully that didn't sound repetitive.

POINT BEING: I agree with the statement

Enrique wrote:GTH sprit, who would you vote for if the deadline was in 5 minutes?

Can't tell if this is "go to hell" or "good to hear"

I'll assume the latter since otherwise I would vote you for being rude to me



No, but I guess I would pick Matt? Like no one else really caught my attention except for him and zebra on that ONE thing. But that's just a small scuffle in an avalanche of posts.

I would be fine lynching someone who has contributed nothing at all, to be honest.

Scotty wrote:Well that was a fugly post. I hate doing this on my phone. Sorry y'all.

Phone posting game on point.

No but what he said in the post before it about "why do people think it's a contradiction to lunch a no poster?" Through my personal experience, if you miss upwards of 4 or so 24 hour days. Like you obviously aren't checking. I just find it highly doubtful for the player to come back and play. OR if you're busy and you know it, you at least come and say something (like bea, mp, and Matt have)

You could argue to let them be mod killed but a little birdie said earlier that epi is not one to modkill so???? I mean decide either a low post lynch or a half-prepared half in for it random lynch of someone who might liven up the tread and keep it from
Becomin stale (like in the end of Of Montreal)

>Tfw you lunch a no poster


****lynch****

As another "tid-bit/don't forget!"

As Mafia, it's easy to try and defend a new or inactive player since then you can look not towny and at the same time the person you're "defending" won't be able to wise up and ask "what's the dealio?"

Just something I remembered, tho, not to implicate Juliet, or anyone else is doing that


.....at least not yet

Curses time zones, I thought I might have another 10 minutes but nope I'm just 50 minutes late

I don't even know who was lynched, hold on

Okay, so it was between Scotty and Wilgy and you ended up not being able to lynch either?

1. Why Wilgy?

2. Why Scotty?

I actually am having a zero understanding of either of these.

Okay, not zero, but I don't understand the logic of why you guys voted for Scotty aside from his wanting to lynch a low poster

I guess we fucked up because you weren't here to guide us. Who would you have voted for?

Ouch sassy much, TH? I was just asking why. No need to be rude. I would've voted for Floyd or lovedelic since I do believe in low post lynching, albeit that it is never the best option. Day 1 is the crapshoot.

And we'll, rather than answering me with a question, why not answer with an answer, or at least why you think it happened?

Scotty wrote:as a side note, I've been playing a metric ton of One Night Ultimate Werewolf with my coworkers recently and I've found that a) I'm almost always a werewolf and b) I almost never win because people assume as such.

But that's okay, because I live for these types of games.

speaking of ONW...... "Spring 2016"

MacDougall wrote:Looking at that graph, thanks man.

Am I not remembering correct? Wasn't TH the one who called for the Wilgy wagon? Yet he didn't put the final vote on Wilgy until right at the end which put him into the tie with Scotty? Is that what the graph is telling me?

So TH calls for the lynch but doesn't commit to it until such times as it causes a tie at the EOD?

Still reading, but. Yeah I was thinking "but if sig said the vote was 3-4 leaning Scotty, then who tied it up at the last second?"

Let's see if TH answered this in these next couple pages

Ebwop: actually no, I am caught up.

But I do see TH in the browsing thing

Also I guess I'm not getting a response on my question(s) last time

(And if I have, I must've missed them and someone should tell me)

whats happening then? Is it another expansion?

i mean it's not directly at you TH, but if you want to answer. I was just looking for input. (also i dont remember if anyone DID reply to that aside from your sassy comment)

@DF are you positive no one is silenced?

And i do agree with TH, something hasn't been sitting right with Enrique, for me personally, but I need to look at it once I get home.

I might disagree with Enrique but I don't suspect him.

I agree on you not wanting to lynch Matt, but I do suspect enrique

Almost missed it again

I'm here and ready to panic

Well it's obvious who I'll be voting for

Enrique wrote:I hope Matt can still give us the Joker eventually (seriously could my theory be wrong? he has to know, right? silly mechanic but why else would he be cursed) but I'm not complaining, this actually feels more rewarding.

i honestly am confused on why youre still trying to make this a point. maybe this was the final mention of it from you for now? but just from remembering your interactions with matt earlier in the day, you were deadset on him being the joker....im still thinking on how i want to interpret this, but i'll leave it at that for now

Look me over boss man, im ready to be observed.

@MP I did a quick check on the votes from day 2 and if you really wanted to look at people I would say from Nero's lynch everyone between SVS and Sorsha, and from Blackrock to sprityo.

And then basically the middle three votes on Matt, which I'm too lazy to check now. I split the votes up like that since between those two player lists on Nero, is when Sabie voted.

If you wanted to test out a theory or something, like the uh, "people started bussing lunar after a clear winner was decided" then I would look more critically at the second group, that is not to say you may have one baddie in the first one, but I digress

Secondly, when you said you didn't really know why Sabie voted for Matt still so late into it. I mean I guess it was more following what they already had, and (hypothetically here) hoping for people to fall onto Matt,but I guess at that time the actual I n game talk had moved past it and it just all piled on after that.

Just assumptions and thoughts to consider here. Now I've gotta get ready for the senior panorama

dont know if anyone acknowledged this earlier today, but i know i dont feel like reading through 18 pages right now

any thoughts or opinions on this?

yknow, it just popped into my mind. why hasnt poison ivy been poisoning?

or for that matter, if she has, what's the time on how long it takes to kill someone?

a couple days? should we expect to see someone randomly drop dead tomorrow morning alongside the nightkill?

i mean that and the penguin, no one has really talked about him. unless i mean, he is still "blackmailing them"

be back later for more

thats what im thinking Mac

perhaps someone who is suspecting of sig (that isnt MP of course)

but that could be almost anyone, right?

or maybe, he's being pseudo blackmailed into lynching sig for the antidote?

good point!

which, hypothetically, if this is a penguin doing, then we could assume MP isnt a plain ole cop. or if he is, then idk.

im still speculating on if he actually is poisoned or if that was just weirdness.

maybe he is just both poisoned and blackmailed, man that would suck
