The Syndicate

curses aren't super common on RYM, but they happen. we had a game in which a player was forced to write every post as a poem and it had to rhyme.

G-Man poses a difficult problem for me. normally with a player like this, i think the best solution would be to apply immense and arbitrary pressure upon him in the form of votes. but since votes here are not changeable, i am not going to call for that strategy. he has us in a position of total gut-...

Day 2 ISO - Turnip Head @Metalmarsh ^^ So what you're saying is, MP used the word "transparent" 7 times in 218 posts. i liked this post a lot. had i been around i would have critiqued the post MM made about MP using the word "transparent" because i thought it was a silly case. it...

I would like your thoughts on TH. I do not remember an Iso from you about him. you're right, he's the last player i am going to examine today. give me a few minutes. :) WHERE'S MY ISO, JAY? DAMMIT. :P unfortunately time was not my ally this phase. maybe in Night 2 assuming i don't get victimized by...

No.

Day 2 ISO - TinyBubbles I don't think Epi's style is inherently suspicious. It think the points he's made have consistently been unfair and misleading. And his vote was really bad. He's a lot like old Mac for you RYMers. Also, I can't emphasize this enough. I'm certain that Epi is mafia. We haven't ...

that time i even tried to do the OT thing :P

i've only just now discovered that the "[DAY X]" labels on the posts in the filters aren't always indicative of when the posts were made

EBWOP: second last game on RYM, not last

i dont like how much yall have been discussing strategy this phase insted of just mafia-hunting. there's probably a few players who havent even been mentioned. i also dont like that jay has never really analyzed mp's posts since early on day 1. i think he is usually more critical of players and it'...

am i correct that the deadline is in about 1 hr and 45 mins?

I think it was an easy vote. I'm worried he did it because it was easy.

Given your town read on Elohcin, would you say any of the votes for her were easy and worrisome?

You know, I'm not sure what to think of it. My thoughts are somewhat similar to splints's... there's no doubt that aether's game is weird, though, and the fact that she dropped a vote on Elo while showing no interest in continuing the game IS weird. What do RYMers make of that particular action? It...

On my phone. I may have less time tonight than anticipated. If anyone wants my take an a specific player i haven't covered yet or has any questions, lemme know now. You commented that you and I came to similar conclusions about fingersplints. Is there more you could add to that? Where does she fit ...

Jimmy - Why do another ISO on someone when your conclusion is the same? how can someone come to a conclusion before even doing the work? that's the point of an ISO. i never know exactly how i am going to feel about a player until i have done all of that work. besides, i did the ISO first, so that q...

Jimmy - why would I vote for someone just bc they have votes if I am not suspicious of them? I voted TH bc I was not suspicious of Bass, MP or Golden. Are you saying I should vote for someone I think is civvie just so my vote is not evasive - That will never happen. i'm not saying anything. i'm sta...

Your kidding, right? I was the only one to voice concerns over TH's vote for Golden knowing it could lead to a bandwagon. So I did comment that I felt the opposite of TH in his suspicion and vote for Golden and I voted accordingly. Maybe your other post got buried in one of your long quotey posts I...

One minute of silence for the death of one of the economists of this game. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/john-nash-86-dies-car-accident-article-1.2233775 I didn't even know the guy existed until one week ago (though I had heard of game theory). RIP :( the biographical book by Sylvia Nasar &...

before i continue, i should offer an explanation for this ISO thing we're doing. i''ve explained already a bit, but it was in larger posts. here's one i can reference in the future if needed. the purpose of an ISO is not to cast suspicion. so if you see your name underlined with a bunch of quotes an...

Day 2 ISO - acrosstheaether where's the post that started day 2? I can't find it for the sake of my life and I forgot the other mod's name and don't see it mentioned anywhere in the thread so I can't ISO them Replace me please. No alignment reveal is too confusing. these are her only two posts of th...

Sloonei's examination of fingersplints was interesting. he came to the same conclusion i did essentially (that she is mostly a neutral read). he is right though when he asserts her content has been a bit BR-centric, and that her other stances in this game are much less clear.

New Zealand has produced a ton of great, globally underappreciated music. I also love Bic Runga.

Also, A Tribe Called Quest is my favorite hip hop act and they'd be in my real top 8.

How do votes normally play out on this site? Is it typical for some players to cast votes super early in the day, as we've seen a bit of today? Or do people usually wait for the end of the phase before using it? On RYM we usually have unlimited vote changes and everyone's voting and unvoting every ...

oh, and as for making up my mind: i said you were suspicious. that's pretty concrete.

i still think so.

Answers in color - btw anyone can pull a post out of context and spin it to make it look good or bad. :) that's not the point of this exercise. the point is to find trends, or interesting moments, and ask about them. or even just talk about them. the point of an ISO is not to cast suspicion upon a ...

Uh, Roxy. I am 28 years old and spent most of my waking life at work too (USAF). I never insulted you for not having many posts. I pulled some things I found curious and raised questions -- or shared a perspective. I'll address the rest of that later.

aether, i hope you reconsider. there are still flips after lynches. the difference isn't massive from what we do in this case, imo.

*joke term we've used lately for me being "town leader"

jay has basically taken over the thread but hasnt really been as thoroug as he usually is, jay do u feel this is true at all, do you think it could be because of playing with people u dont kno or is it the lack of a flip? i think the only person he has expressed suspicion of 2day is roxy, which is ...

Cap'n Sloonbeard, what did you think of Bass's responses to my little pile of questions this phase?

Sloonei you should read things and then share some delicious perspectives. i'll feast.

i'm hidden too. just seems like a good practice regardless of alignment. everyone ought to do it, because i think accusations relative to people being online or not at a given time are not within the spirit of the game.

i am going to ISO you. i ain't afraid of 300 posts. my personal best is 525.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I'm just waiting for my ISO now.

tomorrow.

i'm not doing anymore tonight. it's 3:30am and i'm sleepy. unless something happens soon i'll be

er yeah if anyone is still waiting for that, stop waiting. it won't happen tonight.

if last.fm scrobbles are any indication, then a very aribtrary hodge-podge of unrelated nonsense

i like to think other players are engaged at lively social gatherings. and if i was close enough, i could barge in drenched in sweat with a bottle of jack in hand and an index finger of suspicion pointing straight at them STOP THE MUSIC. EVERYONE LISTEN. THERE'S A BADDIE IN THIS PARTY AND I HAVE PRO...

bummer. i think we're going to fall short of the requisite number of people.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Where's my ISO Jay

see you next May

don't be afraid, baddies. this game is for everyone.

G-man? splints? BWT11? show me a sign

hey MP, since you already know what i mean to do... if we don't get enough people tonight, you can still do it sometime when the game is more active. i am stuck in a time zone where the game is often dead when i am awake so, yanno

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Aye.

Just say already what it is about. I'm getting sleepy.

i can't say what it is until i know i have participants. that could influence the outcome. need more than 2 for it to be worth anything.

if you're here say aye! and we can do this thing.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, I'm trying. :P

Jay, I want to play the game now.

who's here?!

G-Man, you count too. all you'll need is a thumb-up and thumb-down picture to play.

i'll look into fingersplints next. Anyway, I am leaning civ on Epi, Golden, MM, Splints, and Jimmy. I am not sure about San, Sloo, DDL, MP, and BR. BR's defense of MP definitely caught my eye. Especially in a one mafia set up. If she was bad, I mean he could be a indy but she would know he was more ...

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:G-Man 38

if G-Man is legit, then mad props to him for trying this hard. seriously.

that is so much more analysis than i thought i'd be able to generate from a player with 10 posts. how about them apples. also i emerge from that workload finding Roxy a lot more suspicious than i did before.
