The Syndicate

You've addressed things in my posts that you have taken issue with, Epignosis, so I don't need to see that expanded on. But it'd be useful to know why you think LC is the other one. The "Let's be towncore" rubbed me the wrong way. You seem gleefully excited to finish the game on me, and L...

I still remember the freestyle I used in battle a long time ago against a student I taught in an alternative school.

Got that kid a new nickname.

I think he respected me afterwards for it and it was all in good fun, but damn, I just don't know.

I was also actually proud of Simon's posting. I tried to put pressure on him that he didn't respond to, but I was super proud of his posts. I hope he sees this.

That isn't an affront to the host or anybody else. My eyeballs hurt. I'm tired. Mafia is a thing to do when the shift is over, but I don't always have the strength for it. JJJ knows this. He just hosted me. LC I think knows this. Mafia are just railroading me into oblivion for a quick win because w...

Hopefully to sushi and saki?

...Bishamonten damnit.

you guys suck at mafia Well, if you're a civilian, you can do that thing where you point three fingers back at yourself holding a mirror. Listen, I don't care which way this game goes. I really don't. JJJ accused me of not caring. He's right. That isn't an affront to the host or anybody else. My ey...

I am sorry I have failed my fellow civilians. I will now do as Bishamonten, the war god, commands, and retain the honor and dignity of my family. Spekku is my fate.

It should be plenty apparent that I am not teamed with Epignosis, and not just based on today. Now you're speaking truth! XD Way to ignore the previous bit about Long Con and I. Inconsistent with your obvious agenda. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. It's around here somewhere . No, that's not it. No, not...

Oh, I read that. I'm just saying I wouldn't mind playing the long game for credibility and I think you'd do something similar (and LC certainly wouldn't be opposed to that). Maybe that's true in your case. But I am not making a mechanically suboptimal kill unless it provides some kind of clear and ...

I'll be serving my daimyo all weekend, so good luck civilians.

My daimyo is in Houston watching his alma mater advance.

Epi has not given a single shit who has been eliminated any day phase. Look at his posts. He does not care. He has flirted with plenty votes himself on various candidates to be eliminated (at least including both Abigails, Simon, LoRab, and myself). The standout frequent wagons that he never contri...

All due respect, but I think it may be both of us.

Perhaps. I at least got a good joke out of it.

My vote isn't final. I'll check in tomorrow and do it proper.

I suppose my hang up is the expectation that everyone is going to play "optimally" as mafia. I have hosted a ton and that just doesn't happen all the time. To be clear: most people won't. In this particular case, there is a core mechanic at work. Some people would miss it. I think some pe...

I am interested to see where @Simon and @motobot vote.

I will admit I need some rest. MLB Opening Day is tomorrow, and I've been very busy in that regard.

Excuse me:

I didn't mean to say "Three mafia is 10-3 ordinarily," but rather "Three mafia is 10-3."

13 players.

Three mafia is 10-3 ordinarily, which is not balanced and I think you know that.

You are buying that Tony is indie, which makes it 9-3-1.

I feel like YOU aren't thinking things through.

You could have even made a mistake as a killer. Right?

If you buy Tony is independent, there's zero room for error on a team of three.

falcon, LoRab, Simon

Why a team of three?

Sell me on LoRab.

"Oh, I read that"

This means I saw that and forgot I saw that. This isn't related to the secondary comment.

Okay. I'm not caught up completely.

I'll be frank: The mafia just blundered. It's our responsibility to avoid responding to a blunder with a new blunder. So if the civilians out there have doubts about this rationale, they need to voice them with a level head. I don't want to see generic "naw that's BS" responses followed b...

[VOTE: JJJ] aubergine

I still loathe that reverse "white knight" treatment I was subjected to the other day.

I do not in the least think JJJ believed the Epi / moto theory.

There's so much backtracking it makes British bands of the 60s and 70s jealous.

I didn’t backpedal my suspicion of Epi/moto when Epi responded. I moved on when I discovered better evidence. I doubt Epi makes a bad kill too. I am less sure than with Tony, but I doubt it. And I don’t really see moto as mafia without Epi. I'd totally make a bad kill. Isn't there merit to that? :g...

Straight from the book of Revelation. Love it.

Guessing I timed that rerun of a question poorly.

Hey Simon, I didn't see you answer this question:

Sure, if it results in double-kills.

Didn't remember the setup properly.

Long Con wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 11:07 pm Also had BTSC with Abigail Sophia, so... that's something.

Yep- pretty easy to work out who isn't that role.

Talk to me about why you specifically tied me with moto in your scenario rather than Long Con.

Town reads: Tony Simon Falcon Wilgy Townlean: Moto Epi Scumlean: JJJ Long con SCUMREAD: Princess Abbi TALK MORE: Lorab Sig Abbi sophia Referring to this, to be clear. I could just as easily (more easily) say "JJJ and LC" killed Scotty. It'd be a less radical theory. :nicenod:

Radical theory: Epignosis and motobot are mafia. Scotty only gave them soft town reads, so they killed him. Wilgy explicitly suggested they’re a tinfoil theory of his, so they killed him. It’d also explain why this whole game has felt like ass. What is this happy horseshit? We killed Scotty because...
