The Syndicate

I think INH's WIFOM is tastier than Made's WIFOM over the Quin kill. Knocking him out is an enticement to follow up on LC and INH, kind of a Monty Hall problem... And I guess his resignation rings true to me because it reminds me so heavily of Quin's—"I played the game like garbage" and al...

The only thing that makes sense to me about the Quin kill is that it was Made looking to throw me off the trail. I had associated him and Quin previously; how better to protest innocence than to cast a non-influential vote for Quin, then nightkill him? That way, Made gets to say both that he agreed ...

Ugh, in looking at Quin's votes he tied up the alternate lynch candidate in both the DDL and Wilgy lynches. That's a bad look. Boomslang and Sorsha if you're still here what are you looking at when you see Quin as bad? His voting record, combined with his devil-may-care attitude. But I've been pret...

Man, the JJJ kill has me in utter WIFOM knots over LC. It's an obvious setup move, but maybe that's a risk the baddies were willing to take to lift suspicion from him while pivoting to llama... Sigh. Honestly, I don't have any reason not to vote Quin again. Maybe I can get some momentum from people ...

Jean Genie confirmed for staying in on Friday night :P

Boomslang, it'd be ideal for you to at least answer to Quin's allegations. oh hi, linki I voted for you because I thought you were in the wrong about LC and being overly pushy/thread-controlling about it. If Quin calls that "disingenuous," that's his problem, not mine. I've stepped back f...

Hmm, so many lynch immunities claimed. Assuming they're all true, all we have to do is wait out another day before we can return to business as usual... which I'm prepared to do. On further reflection, I'm worried about the INH-LC-Quin "axis of evil." All of them, plus Wilgy, voted for lla...

Can people please stop tinfoiling me now?

Voting Wilgy as well. I think trying for a JJJ lynch this phase is foolish, as is assuming that the lynch will slide onto the second-highest vote getter. I feel comfortable with a Wilgy lynch, and I think the info we get from that even if he does flip civ will be more valuable than confirming JJJ's ...

Ok, here's an issue. "I wanna lynch Wilgy because he's not very vocal" "I wanna lynch Wilgy because he's now vocal" Eloh, Boomslang and Scotty can I please have context as to how I'm forcing posts or suspicion unrelated to my post count? My suspicion of you has nothing to do wit...

Back in the saddle for the moment. Some thoughts: I wouldn't play JJJ's lynch immunity the way he just did, but I'm tempted to believe him. Doing it like this feels like a civ move, because he couldn't know for sure when suspicion would come back on him. If he uses immunity while suspicion is still ...

*hand full of popcorn hangs in suspense*

Well, I should vote. Epi makes a great point about Quin going after llama for not posting about the tie, but not DDL. Llama is also right to be concerned about MP's self-vote. As I suggested earlier, he might be trying out a new low-post strategy in this game, but self-voting is just so against his ...

It was that easy with DDL, wasn't it?

On the other major disagreement in the thread today (JJJ vs. LC), I think LC comes out looking good. JJJ doesn't see (or, because it's JJJ, more likely doesn't want to recognize) the subtleties between LC's agreement with Epi on DDL and his disagreement with hypocrisy as a general tell. LC also is a...

Whew, thanks much to whatever behind-the-scenes shenanigans kept me alive last night! Hopefully we can keep this good juju running. In all of the discussion about Quin's tinfoil theory, I think people are missing this key post, in which I think he clearly backtracks from the position: It's possible ...

Ah, glad going with my gut paid off. In Mafia and with nachos and beer last night! Voting for the Meditation Labyrinth because I need to think on the other votes before offering additional commentary.

Alright, I have to vote. The least ambiguous case right now is DDL—clear contradiction, followed by a lack of explanation in subsequent check-in. Time to eat nachos and drink beer.

Boomslang, did you read the entire discourse between me and LC? I struggle to see how you can be on board with the 'boosting my post count' idea if you had done so. I also disagree with your stance on 3J. I'd ideally have done the same thing, because it allows Sorsha to confirm or deny whether she ...

Alright, finally catching up on all of this. Biggest thread of the thread so far seems to be the Sorsha/Llama spat, and I'm leaning slightly bad on Sorsha because of it. I think JJJ's analysis of the response timing and nature is useful: I can understand. It's jarring for anyone to be facing an accu...

*fingers in ears* Not able to catch up until Day 1 and the weekend, fam. But voting the space station, because SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.

Denim of the game is Felt Mafia!

This is too ridiculous not to play. I'm in.

Even after arriving back to Asheville from Kentucky, Christmas wasn't over—I received a lovely Arizona gift box from bea! https://s29.postimg.org/5gz58re1j/IMG_20161227_155222230.jpg Got a number of tasty local chocolates, a creepy cool scorpion magnet, and a whimsical ornament of the Native America...

Fun fact: Lorab only started posting in "sad" and "sadness" acronyms after Trice used the Donald Trump syntax. Crooked Epignosis thinks he can keep throwing whoppers after a civvie insanified him, sad! I have no idea if that means anything, but it's just funky enough that it tick...

Checking in now to add evidence to the Vomps-as-Moya train. I agree with JJJ that trice has not looked good today at all. His exchanges with Epi in particular have struck me as misleading; see below. The Tricycle Could Interact With Me in One of Several Ways- He Could Ask Me to Clarify Something, Ex...

Way to Characterize My Contributions in a 50 page game you can only point to 3 counterexamples, my characterization stands completely How many successful examples would convince you? Five? Ten? This doesn't change the fact that he was right. Also, trying to assess post value by density in this game...

Well, I'm fine with either an MM lynch or an AP lynch. And MM did say, and I quote, "I want to be lynched." In the words of Watto the Toydarian, "We'll let fate decide."

*votes MM*

Good or bad, dude, I just want to applaud this science :clap: That's dedication. Agreed. :beer: It's rewarding when people appreciate my work. :noble: ...yeah, this is actually pretty convincing, at least at suggesting an AP lynch is a better chance than usual mafia proportions would indicate. And ...

I came up with similar ideas as well. But I voted for him (AP) already for 2 reasons: 1) I'm playing the Law of Averages here. Which would state there is a 66% chance AP is bad. 2) I want to see if it motivates him to come in here and give us some more substance. Most of my reasoning is on #2 right...

Vote MovingPictures07 for now. Something feels off.

Just stupid busy. Will post tomorrow late morning/afternoon.

You acknowledge that your vote was a logical misstep. Why do you suspect me for voting you as a result? Because, as JJJ pointed out, me being illogical doesn't necessarily mean I'm bad. And the suspicion arises more from you switching your previously committed timmer vote to me. If you believed in ...

RIP Wilgy, and what a crazy Day 2. I am more inclined to agree with Epignosis on the matter of Boomslang. I think there's a logical problem with his timmer vote that he should talk about, but there's the rub. When I look at the Boomslang controversy, my judgment veers toward that matter of logic -- ...

Arrrgh, I thought I could catch up tonight. Making a long story short, I have a surprise job interview in middle-of-nowhere North Carolina that will eat up the rest of my day/early evening. Gonna vote Timmer because I disagree with the main wagons and think it would at least yield info on MM. I know...

Full of broken thoughts!

IActual quote from you last night: "Is the theme of this game 'have a self-righteous rant at golden?'"
Why would you post that if you didn't feel like you were taking heat?

Also, I find your two statements contradictory. How can he be pretty much impossible to read and yet you lean town on him? Did you read my post?

Seems both Golden and Jay are cursed or something. Well, that sucks. :) :mad: :llama: ^see above. Two curses on the same day, against players who were attracting some heat? And in a game in which of the roles indicated insanifying? I'm skeptical that both of the curses are genuine. It's just too ea...

RIP, INH. Honestly, I hadn't spent much time looking at you or your case. I apologize for not further substantiating my thoughts on MM, but JJJ's explanation is pretty much my train of thought. Using a weak, time-based rationale that would've made the most sense for a timmer vote to vote me. I'll ha...

Been out all Saturday. Alas. But the thing that pinged me most all day was MM jumping down my/timmer's throat for a timing thing that would've been way too clumsy for baddie move. Voting there.

How do you propose we go about taking a broad approach? Questions everyone, don't let people slide unnoticed. It's kind of hard when low posters just... don't do anything, even when prodded :/ I agree. Got any questions for any particular people who are going by unnoticed? Timmer: Surely not all of...

It's hard for me to read all of this and not see it as misdirection and intentional confusion on some level, especially when the main targets seem to be sig, BWT, and Scotty, who may as well change their avatars to bullzeyes for how they are usually treated.

sig, all due respect, don't take my response as rude. It isn't intended that way. I just cannot possibly disagree with you more on that matter; it is unfathomable to me that anyone could think that the current activity for this game is bad for the town. Furthermore, I didn't ask Boomslang for accur...

Au contraire! DrWilgy has not engaged with me. I can tell, because I usually I come out with my hands dirty. By "engaged," I meant that he mentioned you with his "Someone engage with me so I can form reads or I'll eat Marmot's prized turnip." It's not much, but it's at least usi...

Why are there so many posts already? Someone engage with me so I can form reads or I'll eat Marmot's prized turnip. Because this is GY!BE mafia, where the thread is as long as one of their songs :P In any case, you seem only to have meaningfully engaged with MM, Blooper, JJJ, MP, and Sloonei. I'm c...

Beefs with Scotty: Hot takes Bwt is town. Scotty is bad. Can you elaborate? No. I mean, I could, but I'd rather not right now. You are just as bad as me if you think I am bad without elaboration.

I think you just defined the game called Mafia.

Finally, something we can all agree on :P
