Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 9]

[thellama73]

I would not expect that any mafia voted for Sloonei given the amount of hinting going on. I don't see how it would benefit them at all. I think people who avoided either the Eloh or Sloonei wagons are worth looking at the closest.

4. When Night ends, any dead will not have their roles revealed. Perhaps.

You guys wanna see a dead body?

That was a good choice for the flip last night!
He played pretty villagery and we would probably not find him without this move.

I will vote for Canada, I just want to visit it one day

[fingersplints]

Sorry guys for my absence. I’ll try to get more involved again tonight/tomorrow.

As for the poll, since the question has Long Con in it, Canada seems like the obvious choice. Unless this is where LC wants to go?
Anyways, I’ll go for the obvious Canada. I like Canada. I’ve lived there. It’s close to home.

[VOTE: Canada] aubergine

[S~V~S]

Hey everyone, long time no see

This has been a fun game to watch. There IS a lack of koality bear puns, but it’s only Night One.

Good Luck Everyone

[NotAnAxehole]

Anyone want to play a little game?

[NotAnAxehole]

It's a fun mafia skills contest.

[fingersplints]

I have no skills

[fingersplints]

The heart of the island is literally in my avatar but it’s the nons option

First thing I thought was how that was your option

[Kate]

I have no skills

Me neither. I used to, I think

I love little games.

Zero skills here as well, but I have work I should be doing, so why not serve up a distraction. Whatcha got?

[DharmaHelper]

[G-Man]

Valiant warrior, @NotAnAxehole, you have succeeded in making me forget which letter I am on. Name your reward and I will take it under consideration.

[fingersplints]

I remember when mafia always had little subgames. All the trivia and prizes!

[DharmaHelper]

Lol thanks to G-Man's Alphabet thing I found Blue Velvet mafia where I went completely buck wild in the end game. Fun times

[G-Man]

I remember when mafia always had little subgames. All the trivia and prizes!

Value those memories, because these are the days of mostly silent and prizeless nights at The Syndicate. ’Tis a pity that such mirth and joviality is lost on the new generation.

Where do you LONG to go on vaCONtion?

The Neal Morse Band – “Agenda”



S – I kind of thought this was a little bit boring, especially with how uncreative the lyrics were. There were no redeeming qualities like an extra instrument or two. 5
A – That was three minutes and 46 seconds of my life I’ll never get back. He’s got a good voice, but it’s wasted on this. 3
E – It has a pretty catchy tune. My favorite part was the guitar solo. As Simon said, quite boring. 6
Score: 4.7 (Michelle)

Spoiler: show

Yes – “Going for the One”



S – I mean, I like Yes, but this only came across as mediocre for me. The ending was kind of dragged out. However, the third verse was quite hilarious in how they broke the third wall making fun of their own lyrics. 6
A – All you need is for the singer to be less singy and more screamy, and you’ve got the intro to a Pee Wee Herman movie. We just need a floating bicycle. 4
E – Lyrics are very unclear, and near the end it got dragged out and was starting to hurt my head. 5
Score: 5 (NotanAxeHole)

Spoiler: show

Ved Buens Ende – “You, That May Wither”



S – Yeah, instruments could’ve been a bit more ironed out here. They were overlapping and nothing made sense. Harmony at its worst. Right now, this sounded like if “The Monster Mash” was recreated by a poor metal band. 2
A – I couldn’t listen to the words because the music was so loud and overwhelming. 4
E – How much did this guy get paid to sound like Dracula? The more I listened, the more it started to grow on me. I could’ve listened to it without the singer. 7
Score: 4.3 (DharmaHelper)

Spoiler: show

Pink Floyd – “The Final Cut”



S – Out of the entire Pink Floyd selection, this wouldn’t have been my choice, but that’s just me (I prefer songs like “Sheep”). 6
A – I liked it, and then I hated it, and then it grew on me. 5
E – To me it sounded like someone who had anxiety. Eventually the beat got pretty good, but I don’t have much to say about this one. 6
Score: 5.7 (Elohcin)

Spoiler: show

Genesis – “The Carpet Crawlers”



S – The first time I heard this was when Dad sang it for karaoke. And even so, it remains great. I just think it could’ve been a little less repetitive at the end despite its great harmonizing. 8
A – Personally, I prefer a longer intro before the singing starts. But it made up for it in the build up and then I liked how it all sounded together in the end. 7
E – In my opinion, very soothing. The singer’s voice was nice. If I listened to it at night, it could probably put me to sleep. Near the end when it started harmonizing, extremely good all together. 8
Score: 7.7 (Quin)

Spoiler: show

Aphrodite’s Child – “The Four Horsemen”



S – I guess going from quiet to more climactic makes sense. There were two things I didn’t like about it. I didn’t like the singers voice, and I didn’t like that it just keeps repeating at the end. 7
A – “Deck the Halls” went rock and roll there at the end. 3
E – I don’t have much to say other than that my favorite part was when the guitar kicked in. 7
Score: 5.7 (G-Man)

Spoiler: show

Rush – “Circumstances”



S – Though this was good, out of the Rush collection, this wouldn’t have been my choice. I prefer “Manhattan Project.” That said, it made good use of its time to calm down and give it a futuristic vibe. 7
A – I’m going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I don’t like his voice and never have. It’s screechy and annoying. 4
E – I definitely liked the background music. The singer’s voice was pretty good with it, but wouldn’t say it’s very good. 6
Score: 5.7 (thellama73)

Spoiler: show

Queensrÿche – “Silent Lucidity"



S – Yeah, I really liked this. I couldn’t find anything bad about it. And even though it was prog, it didn’t keep overusing electric guitar a lot, and preserved it for a solo and didn’t use it for the entire song. 9
A – It was quite pretty. I couldn’t find anything particularly wrong with it. 8
E – At the start, very dark, but other than that, I loved the buildup. The tune is great. Overall a really good song. 8
Score: 8.3 (Scotty)

[Epignosis]

Baby Herman here. Yeah, that’s right. I’m narratin’ this one.

That sad music contest was over. Scotty was the clear winner with his overly melodramatic song, “We’re Totally a Progressive Metal Band but Look at Us Not Playing Progressive Metal While Still Being Creepy in this Video.”

The Map thing was over too, as people wandered all over the place thinking they were stepping fifty feet one way and going to Jerusalem or a hundred the other and winding up in Canada. You freeze people for a decade and you can get them to believe anything. Real wise guys.

While they were wandering around thinking they were going to Fiji or something, one of them bumped into someone else, knocking that person over. Then someone on the way to Twin Peaks (really? That’s your vacation pick?) stepped on the fallen person’s finger.

Things went from bad to worse when Roger tore through the place running for his life and knocked the same person over again. Then the inconsiderate toon had the audacity to make a human shield out of her. The weasels came flying in next, looking to make short work of the Rabbit.

“P-p-p-p-please fellas! Look at this lady’s fingers? You like lady fingers, don’t ya?”

Smart Ass said, “It’s all right her fingers is bust. We got plenty of SPLINTS.”

Fingersplints has been killed.

It is now Day 2. You have 47.5 hours to lynch someone.

[Golden]

1) wa at killing fingersplints. Rez please.
2) wa at not even being judged on prog rock song. Not sure what I did wrong

[Quin]

I didn't spend 30 seconds Googling "Best Prog Rock songs of all time" for second place.

[sig]

I did a quick look over Splints posts and not much there.

This leads me to think mafia Picked a semi active player who couldn’t be tied to them.

[Spacedaisy]

I will update the OP with cipher’s letter when I get home. I’m currently at the hospital visiting my step grandmother. Apologies for the delay.

I can’t access my spreadsheet here either. If I missed your night action, please reach out to me.

[Sloonei]

Those mafia are real jerks, killing fingersplints like that.

[Elohcin]

Bye Splints! Sad to see you go. Wish we could have had you around for longer.

[Epignosis]

I unlocked the thread once and it worked for some people. Should be good for all now.

[DharmaHelper]

The mafia killed splints because she has kids, and the mafia also have kids.

Discuss.

[DharmaHelper]

Anybody else remember that time Long Con outted me in World Asunder when I was literally unkillable.

[fingersplints]

I’ve literally been sitting here talking out loud to my husband about this game for the last half an hour or so lmao and how he wants me to post “OT” to say hi” now I’m dead lol

Thanks for hosting SD and Epi. Good luck all <3

[Golden]

Deaths in this game are just gonna suck, and this only really hit home right now. Wish I could play a game in which we all just lived and hung around talking for a while.

[Kate]

NO not splints! RIP old friend

My song didn't even make the list, probably because I didn't know what I was looking for

[Kate]

The mafia killed splints because she has kids, and the mafia also have kids.

Discuss.

So those of us with kids deserve to die? Or we shouldn't be wasting our time playing online games??

My thought was "The mafia (or at least the person who decided to kill Splints) took sympathy on a fellow parent.

I personally find parents admirable and would never Nightkill anyone brave enough to have a child.

[G-Man]

Veering into a tough 48-hour stretch for RL (tomorrow night is Trick-or-Treat and Friday is my wife's 40th birthday), but I will do my best to go behind my wife's back and ignore my children enough to participate a bit wherever possible.

RIP Splints. At least we know that, with 3P Vivax gone, it's just civ-vs-mafia, so maybe Splints can get rezzed when we come to that. I'm going to ignore my work and try to re-read some of the eod weirdness for anything that stands out.

[Spacedaisy]

Just a reminder to all the players that you need to check your PMs before you begin posting after the night ends.

Do YOU have any kids DH?

I have a nearly 4 year old. He's a dog but I'm assuming that counts.
