I think i was the first or second one to get lynched

This is what happened in RM2:
Short version: The indy role (not a recruiter) won Day 0, and got to use their power on one of the players that voted for the winning option.

Thanks for the backstory, peeps. But knowing the infamy of that mechanic, I doubt it'd be reused exactly, especially in a game as complex as this already is. The positions don't even seem to be themed, so I'm guessing they're primarily for mechanics purposes? In any event, I'm going to go ahead and *vote 1* in case I don't check in until later.

The Erlatz Eleven led players (La) to look at the Ultramorph Nine which in turn led to my downfall as the Ultramorph - ah great times!

The Holy Spirit.

That was the best.

#357

I don't know what anyone is talking about. I require a lynch poll.

#358

I suppose if I want to be recruited, I am going to have to show the leaders what skills I have to offer for their team. Some include:

I can juggle.

I am known for playing table tennis well enough to frustrate my nemeses.

I am a professional at making fun of the music of Creed

#359

I don't want to be recruited. Y'all better leave me alone.

#360

I want to be recruited by all four sides so I can play them all against each other as a shadowy mastermind.

#361

I wish I had played other recruitment games. The dynamics here are interesting. The only one I've played a little like it is rabbit's SK game (in which timmer betrayed me! wisely, because I would have won if he didn't, but I still carry the pain. We were a team!)

I will still probably find myself in a civ mindset because I can't help it, but its very odd knowing there are only 2 baddies out of 36 players right now.

What I'm most interested in is that some people have been already willing to put their hand up and say 'I haven't been recruited yet'. I'm not sure what to make of that. Obviously it turned out to be true in this case (assuming they are not one of the four leaders) but why say it? Are they setting themselves up for a lie later? What has been the general philosophy in saying something like that in the game? I don't really understand why you would do that?

I do, however, agree with JJ that begging for a recruit is not at all desperate, obscene or try-hard, so I present for you my own unique skills.

Unfortunately, I have no link to me juggling, but it wouldn't convince anyone.

@Bullz - am i wrong in assuming you can only be recruited by one?

For those of us who haven't, care explaining why? What's wrong with picking the position you believe in?

Ahh, the Erlatz Eleven.

If I am remembering this correctly, in a previous recruitment game it was determined that those who had voted the winning option on Day 0 had become a pool of potential recruits for one of the leaders, and it became a witch hunt.

Because Day 0 polls should always have a point.

Clearly Bullzeye is some sort of quadruple agent. Anyone who recruits Bullzeye to their team should immediately kill him before he turns on you.

I have no reason to believe you are wrong. In fact I think you're right.

Given that it seems confirmed that nobody can know yet whether they've been recruited, I find this set of questions curious. How do you suppose this behavior would facilitate a "lie later" for those who made relevant comments?

When players emphasize that they aren't recruited, it makes me want to lynch them and find out.

Making fun of Creed does not impress me. It was a regular pastime junior year in college. One of our suitemates was a huge Creed fan and we made fun of him dearly for it. That also led us to make fun of his love of Bruce Springsteen too, even though Springsteen doesn't suck.

Biotch please, you know you had a LOT of help from my ASS in Biblical. Don't try to pass that one off as a solo achievement.

Now THIS I can get behind!

Sadly, most of my mafia credentials here on The Syndicate include ass jokes, silly posting gimmicks, and a dirty bet with MP07. I did win a singing contest once though!

Help from your ass? Now I had to drop out of Biblical early because of reasons but it sounds like I missed a hell of a game!

#375

G-Man, I had a lot of help from you in Death & Taxes too.

No mafia win is the product of a single individual, but those were games where I played well. Guess Who, not so much.

linki @bullz - G-man talked out of his ass a lot that game.

The lesson here is that even when Golden isn't playing well at all, he is still capable of masterfully fleecing everyone when he is a baddie (Guess Who).

Let's lynch this mofo.

10 pages on day zero ._.

#378

I haven't really thought about which team I want to be recruited onto, but the Sorcerers don't get along with anybody and love chaos, so that sounds about right.

#379

Just some behind the scenes stuff to work out before we start day 1. Hopefully everyone will check in and vote before that happens.
Abomination

Holy fucking spam. I'm tempted to vote for the next person who uses the word adverb

Well that's already here

Voted for position 3 because no way I am going to vote for the winning option on Day 0

Actually, the part of speech to which you are referring can modify not only adjectives, but also verbs, determiners, noun phrases, clauses, or entire sentences. (Finally got to use pedantic pink appropriately!)

And I can modify your face.

I am going to modify all your asses (in a "Mom" sort of way

If anyone is looking for good recruits I thinkthe record speaks for itself

I am disappoint, the poll looks nothing like a hand giving the finger; if you squint a bit it looks like a hand that has suffered an unfortunate industrial accident.

I had totally forgotten about the Erlatz Eleven; didn't they have a reputation for partying? Was that the option they chose? I vaguely recall this. In any case, I am glad I chose to NOT be in with the in crowd, just in case.

So in other words, you want to be recruited by mafia.

I see a majority of the people who voted realize how important it is to follow my lead.

After I voted I realized you were the first tha voted for that choice and I thought oh great I voted same as DH and Im folliwng his lead

just kidding DH

#392

Lots of ego boosting for DH today. I suppose part of that is my fault. The other part of it is Option 1 voters' faults.

#393

Also, glad to see Jay bringing the vocaroo out. Wouldn't be the same without it.

#396

First off, I'm checking in for the first time.

Secondly, if this is how much talk we're going to get on Day 0, my work schedule will not be very conducive to this game. Which has me worried already.

But that's okay. I'll just night-kill the highest poster every night since they're all on competing baddie teams.
