The Syndicate

Hmm, that list is bad. Note to self: Separate "list" tags for each item in a list. Also, preview your posts.

What else have you written I could have replied to? The big one for me is, if your reads were uninspired, does that mean you're totally discounting them and starting fresh from here? 90% discounting them, and they'll hang in the back of your mind until something solid forms? Actually still committe...

How do you know your reads are uninspired?? It's not even Day 1 yet! This is a weird thing to say. I didn't think at all hard. I was uninspired. I'm not saying they were wrong. May yet be right. Fair, I guess. I'm bummed this is the only thing you (or anyone) has responded to, though. JJJ, Alien? I...

Why is there a phoenix presiding over a burning city now, btw? So much has changed!

Me: Alrighty fuck it time to buckle in and catch up MP: I think I'm gonna post eight times in a row now. Me: Oh ok I'll go watch a movie then. Right?!? To reiterate, everyone: 12 pages. On Day 0. Before we can even vote, and less than 24 hours into the game. Holy wall of text, Batman! I skipped pag...

Gah, I left the first half of my post on another tab! I forgot how many tabs mafia requires. (For me, about 20 for most posts.) Posting that now. Also I'm voting for some sports. Anyone think the poll matters for the game. Do people still do that in games? I remember Epi's polls almost always matter...

I do have one comment. The suggestion that I am to have "scum-slipped" while not understanding the how of it rings false to me. I cannot think of a scenario in which I have ever made a clumsy post as scum and not known immediately afterwards in every way that it could be construed as scum...

TEN PAGES?!? Holy hell.

So I’m the only player to have experience and/or history with every other player here. I can provide meta and such if necessary. I prefer not to rely on it much though. But feel free to ask me and I will provide opinions on whatever assuming I haven’t already. Only on page 2 of 6 so far. (6 pages o...

Switched to player!

Fair warning to all: I may not be the most active, and I DEFINITELY won't be worth whatever price Epi puts on me.

I'm excited!!!! Let's get this show on the road!

Thanks, everyone! Very excited to be here.

The site looks so different these days! Can't wait to start playing.

Placeholder for now. This would be a follower in spirit to The Hobbit mafia which ran a few years back. Would likely have the whole Fellowship as civs and possibly the Nine Riders as baddies, although I still have to figure out how to balance such a big baddie team. Please post thoughts/hype if desi...

This is an awesome idea, Epi!

I'm in it as a contestant for now. I am moving next week, and in a busy work period, so if I joined as a player I'd be a liability. (Plus I'm scared to play against JJJ.) However, if sign-ups last until July 28th, I'll upgrade myself to a Player.

Oh! And especially thanks to Boomslang. I used my Kneeling Lady to win with you even if I lost, so I'm glad you played it so well.

Congratulations to Russtifinko

Thanks!!

This game was, in classic Epi style, both truly epic and something entirely new. I didn't do it justice with my play, but I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it. Well played everyone and congrats to the other winners!

Day 16: A Cock and a Hen 董卓 A challenger rose up against someone called D’Faraday, and this vexed D’Faraday much. D’Faraday cried out, “You weaver of mats! You plaiter of straw shoes! I will destroy you because I despise you!” Booms Lang the challenger arose and said, “I must settle now who will be...

Well, maybe it's for the best I was killed. My participation was pretty dreadful.

Sorry team, and host! It was a fun game even though I didn't getto spend as much time on it as I'd have liked to.

Go Wu!

Oh also, what happened to the suspicions/voting of me? That was a thing, right?

Also though, we've been kind of assuming the YTs only have 2 members left, but considering their team is chock full of secrets they might have recruited by now and might be doing way better than we think. :scared: ehhhhhhhh???????? I second this "eh?". Now that you mention it, recruitment...

Well, poop. I got distracted by a BOGO on new phones (!) and forgot to come back to vote. Would have voted Elo as as stated, and maybe Caps?

Not all that surprised that DP took additional votes, but I am surprised by the sheer number of them and how late they came in.

No votes for me today? The people's opinions are capricious. Voting Elo as promised. I actually found Ninja Bloopers' response to my outrage very sincere, so I think she genuinely didn't mean any harm. Not sure who my second vote will go to yet, but I guess I have an hour to decide. Seems like Scott...

The other will be for Russ, because according to the few people posting, the dude wants to be voted. But hey, I could duel, too! But I'll go with Russ, since I'm not a fan of self-voting. goodness, this page is being nutso. Okay, according to Niju, Russ wanted to be voted for. And I know MP did too...

Actually, MP instead of Bass. He did vote himself, after all.

Ahhhh, it's voting time! Voting Glorfindel and Bass, so as not to be forced to duel.

I made it to vote! But I have to get back to dinner. Voting Sorsha and BWT, because some other people did but not a LOT of other people.

Hey, I'm not dead! No thanks to a lot of you.

Good that we nailed a baddie yesterday, though, regardless. Glad I could help in that respect.

RIP S~V~S and JJJ.

You guys are posting a LOT....I might more or less random my votes this Day.

Anyway BDH, well played, and thanks for leading the civs to victory!

Yay! Good game guys, especially BDH for cracking the code and getting 11 items! Jesus. I played like dogpoop this game and almost feel as though we won despite my play. So much stuff happening behind the scenes I had no idea who was who towards the end. I definitely wanted timmer dead and didn't th...

You don't think they're bad, you just want them gone?

Bubbles and MM's votes smell the fishiest to me. I want to go back and investigate those. Scotty my man, I'm sorry I ever doubted you. You are the hero we need. Please be my sensei. So I was gonna say this wasn't true and Scotty could still be a Yellow Turban, but then I realized he would've likely...

Also, good job on getting Wilgy, guys!

Hey Simon, what do you like about Russtifinko? Simon likes me?? Yaaaay! I like Simon too. FYI I still need to read this thang. I've been just recently caught up helping Daisy with the Psych endgame, we still have to pack and move some more stuff thereafter, and I have lots of studying to still do. ...

The game was super fun! Thanks to the hosts and JJJ. I really thought it was over for us - still pretty shocked we came back. And Elo, thanks for handing us the victory! It came down to your vote in the end.

Go civs!

OHHHHHH MAN

So holy poop, we actually have a darn good chance!!! This is amazing!

BOOM!

BDH, as I made clear yesterday, I never once intended my final vote today to go to you. Looking at how things have shaken out, Epi is my only reasonable choice here. I don't want to cause a tie by voting BWT, and I don't believe BDH is bad. We also haven't seen anything from BWT yet today. That make...

linkin @Epi: say we lynch a cop...that leaves 2 civs (who can't be sure of each other), an indy (who is out for himself) a cop and a serial killer. The serial killer has already (presumeably) decided who dies after the lynch. That killer is the ONLY person who can basically guarantee a kill since t...

Says the fellow whom I always vote on Day 1.

I respectfully decline your invitation to duel.

You didn't like it, you shouldn't have posted a platypus picture. You say those pursuing power shouldn't get it, but went ahead and pursued away yesterday. :shrug: Dunno what to tell ya, I had an idea. It was pointed out to me that it could in theory be used to work out even better for the baddies,...

They name Elohcin, bwt, and me as bad. Once again, I said I'm not sure between you and INH. Stop lying about things so easy to fact check. I'm lying? Really now. Your vote is on me . That's quite enough to say you've named me as bad. And now it's on BDH. Doesn't mean I think he's bad. Like I said, ...

Just had a thought that may be worth pointing out: Crooked Cops, you guys are gonna want to try to get Mr. Yin lynched today. You get him, NK a civvie, and the game is over. If, on the other hand, you lynch a civvie today, you can't kill Yin tomorrow night, and barring manipulation or some crazy pe...

So, do we have any volunteers to duel today?

Lots to read. Things I saw to respond to on Page 8: Agreed, JJJ. Hey, I REALLY like the idea of the "whoever does ____ first, gets my votes" posts. They prevent people from finding excuses to give votes to baddie teammates. So I'm gonna do one too, and would suggest others do the same (eve...

Epi, care to answer BDH's question? 6 players alive, 3 are bad. We know you think I'm one of the baddies, so who are the other 2? No. Big Damn Hero is a big damn boy. If he wants to vote me, he can. Where he votes is his decision. Sure, he can vote wherever he wants. Not sure how that's relevant. G...

BDH, as another point, Epi's led 4 civ lynches at this point. I led one, and then tried for days to lead a baddie lynch. Maybe you can still be proud of your performance as one of the last civs standing, but I don't see how. If I allow him to lead a FIFTH civ lynch and run away with the game, I'd fe...
