The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]

[S~V~S]

Is that so MM? You were looking to see if I was being defensive?

[Lizzy]

Butt then again I shall be voting for an individual who hasn't been too active and hasn't made any on topic posts as far as I could tell.

[Marmot]

Metalmarsh, I'm not arguing about conformism. I'm arguing that, because there are more civs than mafia in the game, any given group of players is more likely to be composed of more civs than mafia. The largest, i.e., majority, group is thus most likely to contain the most civs.

According to your theory, the only thing that will matter are overall numbers. Let's take a look.

Given a group of maybe 20 players who vote one way, or specifically act one way, 58% of them will be civvie (about 11-12) and 39% will be baddie (about 7-8). But these percentages will apply to any behavior or vote pattern according to your theory, which means that same ratio will exist even if only two players exhibit a specified behavior. Sure there will be more civvies in larger groups, but there will be more baddies to keep the percentages even. Especially in a game where we have two four-player baddie teams and four indies, we have a lot of free-thinking going around, and by proxy, a lot of conforming without hesitation.

So I don't think looking at behaviors is important. Actually, I lied. If there is a behavior that you think is indicative of baddie, of course it's worth looking into. Otherwise, I believe looking at player-specific behaviors is a better bet. Oh and vote patterns.

Linki: What llama said.

Are these Maths a joke too?
I disagree with a good portion of this.
Tbf a lot of your posts make my nose twitch.

No. I was logically proving that Boomslang's theory is inaccurate.

So you disagreee with llama and agree with Boomslang?

Linki: ture

Did I state anywhere that I agreed with Boom? Nope.

No, but you said you disagreed with my post, which was entirely a counterstatement to Boomslang's post. If you disagree with myself and Boomslang, then you yourself are riding the fence.

I said I disagree with your posts.
First off is your vote for SVS to get convo going seems like a bit of a stretch. bc A) you never stated any reasoning to, ya know, get convo going. b) bc when asked who you were changing your vote to you ignored and acted like we should have deduced ourselves who you were voting for.

Okay, next game I will start off with "Voting [insert player name here] to get conversation going." That will be mighty effective and also very civvie-like.

As far as the quoted post goes your interpretation of how behaviors are not important then go on tosay yes they are important. You rode the fence in your entire post. you say this is important but then say its not as important as this.

I say behavior is a big part of locating baddies. You telling people what is right or wrong in hunting baddies is more or less telling them don't play your own way bc it. is wrong. I super disliked it when inh called boomslang stupid which is the #1 reason I do not like your or his reactions to one post boomslang made. I realize YOU did not call him stupid but you still argued with inh against boomslangs post. (Which may be wrong but who am I to judge how boom plays?) yes its worth noting but is it worth a vote I do not think so.

I have nothing to do with INH, or llama (who also disagreed with Booms). I made the argument of my own choosing because I disagreed and I want credit!

I do think your behavior this game is quite different than other games. You seem much more into it than before - more in your face - though thats not quite it either.

I have been a baddie quite a lot, so I don't know how you can twist that logic to make me bad.

I do think I will be voting for you.

I think you probably won't.

[Marmot]

Butt then again I shall be voting for an individual who hasn't been too active and hasn't made any on topic posts as far as I could tell.

Ah, yes, the ol' self-vote. Well you certainly do qualify.

[Snow Dog]

Not much time left and still uncertain, I agree with Rox, day 1 sucks. I quite like the Boomslang case, I questioned his theory myself but didn't get a reply. Didn't really notice MM's treat much until it has been pointed out by other players, so could vote there. DH and LC are possibly two civs arguing imo. Llama still seems off to me.

I don't know.

[Marmot]

My treat?

[S~V~S]

Is that so MM? You were looking to see if I was being defensive?

[nijuukyugou]

Good thing I tried to read some on my phone before now, because holy shit 10 pages and broken internet on the computer at work. Done catching up.

As I was reading, I see the votes have changed around, and several have gone on to Boomslang that weren't there before. I've never played with him, so I don't know his supposed playstyle. I don't really know why others are voting for him other than he's acting weird. I'm also not too much getting the MM votes. I haven't seen the big pings that others seem to see, but it might also be that I can only hold so many players in mind at once.

I'm just going to go ahead and vote LC off of what pinged me in the first place (getting after reywaS for being defensive and voting for him so early), as well as more recent events. The back and forth between him and DH makes me think that LC was actually being quite defensive (more than necessary). He also seemed to be digging at DH's supposed "mudslinging then backing off," but I found DH's defense of himself to be sound (one can suspect something, then back off when it's proven by others or situations that that suspicion might be unfounded). Although DH can be a master of deception, from my little experience with him, he doesn't give me the baddie vibes today (he was more lighthearted and less argumentative when I played with him in Misfits). Anyway, that's what pings me the most Day 1, so I'll be going with that.

Linki - Stop posting so I can post, dammit!

[Marmot]

Yes and no. My main goal was to kick the game into gear, and to see if others reacted to the vote in some way. I didn't expect you to get defensive over an early Day 1 vote, and I would have been surprised if you had.

[S~V~S]

Nice answer. I got the impression that youbwete looking for something from me dpecifically . You were not, then?

[juliets]

I have decided to vote MM.

[Marmot]

No.

I thought about voting llama first, but I didn't think I'd be taken seriously, and just be accused of trolling. Mission failed.

Linki: Hello Smaug

[DharmaHelper]

I wanna live. Swapped back to MM

[Marmot]

I wanna live. Swapped back to MM

Gerroff me.

[S~V~S]

I have found MM rather shifty, particularly his questions of Llama that seemed to be setting Llama up.

I also am wary of DH, but I've never been able to read him.

I was looking for a reaction from SVS. The question was not shifty, nor was I trying to set llama up.

[Turnip Head]

Hmmmmm that does seen like doublespeak from MM.

That post was not about my vote, that was regarding my other question to you about being NK'd.

Two different things.

[Turnip Head]

That was the post that initially made me think you had good intentions because you referenced getting a reaction. That post was about something else?

[Snow Dog]

vOTED BOOMSLANG IN THE END.

[DharmaHelper]

vOTED BOOMSLANG IN THE END.

aIGHT HOMIE BLESS

[Marmot]

This one.

I tend to ignore Llamas humor though ( ) and pay attention to his suspicions.

So we should pay attention. If you are NK'd it will probably be llama's doing?

[S~V~S]

So what reaction did you want?

/pulling teeth

[Turnip Head]

[Bass_the_Clever]

I voted myself because I didn't have time to catch up.

[Snow Dog]

i CHANGED to MM. Thought better of it and decided to vote Llama. I'm all over the place. Unfortunately the time was up and my vote is still on MM.
Sorry MM.

[Marmot]

So what reaction did you want?

/pulling teeth

Don't give me the pulling-teeth thing. You're the one framing me (even if unintentionally) at the last second and potentially swaying voters.

I was looking for something pingy. I did not get something pingy.

Linki: Well if I die, for the record, I don't think DH is bad.

On this we can agree.

[Spacedaisy]

Lol, I have been skimming along on my phone because Alex is doing the driving. This lynch is seriously intense!

[S~V~S]

I am not framing you. I think you are bad MM.

[Marmot]

I am not framing you. I think you are bad MM.

You've still misconstrued me.

Well, good luck to you... and better luck to me.

[Snow Dog]

Good luck to both of you.

[Made]

Don't expect for me to miss another vote. Catching up with the 5 or so pages i've missed.

Coffee break?

[Turnip Head]

Stanley has a choice to make.

[Snow Dog]

Stanley has a choice to make.

There is a tie decider? Where is Stanley from?

[S~V~S]

Epi often has tie deciders. But usually there is a mechanism for him to be able to decide if the Decider is not around.

[Epignosis]

Day 1: A 50-50 Chance

“Ladies and gentlemen!” came an announcer who sounded suspiciously like Triple H. “We have a bunch of sucky newcomers in the ring. What if we let one of them handle our newest champion? What do you say?”

The crowd’s enthusiasm blew up.

“Good. Maybe we should let these sucky sucks decide who it’s gonna be!”

Metalmarsh89 began his analysis. “Given a group of maybe 20 players who vote one way, or specifically act one way, 58% of them will be civvie (about 11-12) and 39% will be baddie (about 7-8). But these percentages will apply to any behavior or-”

After Metalmarsh89 finished his analysis, he realized that he was the only one standing in the ring. Everyone else was in the stands watching, and the crowd applauded.

Triple H announced, “Now ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, our reigning champion, The Federal Case!”

A terrifying man in a red, white, and blue singlet with Barack Obama masks for shoulder plates ran down the runway, star-spangled bursts of pyrotechnics on both sides of him.

In the ring, he trash talked Metalmarsh89. “I’m gonna make you pay…your taxes!”

The Federal Case gave Metalmarsh89 The People’s Elbow and the match was disappointingly over. The crowd booed.

Metalmarsh89 didn’t move.

“So is he or isn’t he?”

The Federal Case prodded the downed fellow with the toe of his wrestling boot. “He is.”

Metalmarsh89 has been lynched. He was Mr. Humphries.

++++

“And now, ladies and gentlemen,” said Triple H. “We’re going to have a tag-team match!”

Tonight, you must choose your tag team partner. If someone votes for you before you vote, you must vote for that person, for that is your tag team partner. If you vote for anyone else, you will receive a lynch vote against you the next Day. Votes are not changeable.

Additionally, each of you may privately inform me about your preference regarding changeable votes. Majority rules, and future lynches for this will be run accordingly.

It is now Night 1. You have 23 hours to submit your PMs.

[Snow Dog]

Oh poor Mr Humphries.

So sorry MM

[Turnip Head]

Rest in peace aardvark

[S~V~S]

MM, I am very very sorry. But if it is any consolation, the odds are high you got me NKed tonight.

[Snow Dog]

Epi often has tie deciders. But usually there is a mechanism for him to be able to decide if the Decider is not around.

Never known him to have them before. Besides Cars.

[S~V~S]

He had one in MOTU, i did not play that one, but I modded it.

What's MOTU?

Nothing, whats the MOTU with you?

[Snow Dog]

Masters of the Universe?
He didn't have a tie decider there. I played it.
