The Syndicate

When you do answer, it's maybe best to say something along the lines of "I'm not sure. I thought lynching Zebra would end the game. Now that I have a bit of free time (referencing the lost opportunity at uni), I'm going to reread the thread." Then point to Wilgy or nutella eventually, because I don't think it'd be a good idea to turn on Epig or SVS at this point.

We should wait for Scotty, though, to see what he thinks. Derp.

I'm going to go after Nutella and explain why. But tbh I expect that anything I say will just be twisted against me now. The fact is I can't play at all on Thursday and therefore I'm fucked if anyone wants me dead. If she comes after me, and I say I'm going away, that will just mean everyone assumes I'm lying to get out of it. Seriously, good or bad, whenever someone suspects me and I say anything at all in my defense everyone just jumps on me for it. Being everyone's easy target gets old.

Remember, you're not a target yet. Don't respond in the thread with that kind of vibe. Just answer her question all easy breezy as if you believe she's just asking a fellow civ of their opinion.

I know. I'm just saying. But it is obvious why she's asking me and me alone.

"Good question. I thought the game would end with Zebra's lynch, and wasn't really looking elsewhere. Now that I have a bit of free time, I'm going to ISO all remaining players, but on the top of my head, Wilgy and nutella are most likely, IMO."

Lol. Something like that. Dude I dunno man.

Gaah! SVS will destroy us all!

To be fair I have literally the best voting record in this game. Up until Zebra died I was the only living player who'd never voted for a civ and so far 2/3 of my suspicions have been correct.

Also if there is another night in this game it now has to be SVS who dies.

Right, though? I would understand if you get lynched eventually, but if you get lynched today with Wilgy and nutella still alive...

Btw, I liked your post. However, I'm probably biased. We'll see what SVS has to say when she returns.

That long winded Epi ISO post is like Ben Brantley rating your performance as outstanding on the opening night of your Broadway debut.

He's clearing you as civ.

Now if SVS comes back with some high falootin theory abou your badness, it might be a good idea to keep her around because of her penchant to suspect you. I don't know what concrete evidence she can come back with that counteract Epi's brilliant ISO on you. With a steady stream of suspicion coming from SVS it will give you more cred for the Mafia not killing you. the question is will anyone buy it?


Let me think about this.

So 5 left, maybe Nutella gets lynched today.
You kill SVS tomorrow night like you say, then you're down to Wilgy and Epi for lylo. Epi has all but cleared you, and Wilgy is none the wiser.

Man, I really hope SVS doesn't say anything too damning. Ignore what I just posted, kill SVS next. She is the most civ-looking of the two of you and you only need to survive that one before it's a done deal.

Wow. Lol.

I went and looked at Homestar Runner and Sherlock, and boy, I really do go after you in every game, Bullz! Haha!

Remember, Bullz, don't freak out when you respond to SVS.

Question - Do you typically bus teammates, Bullz? If you don't, then you can always go with the "Okay, one teammate maybe I'd bus, but two of them? C'mon" or something. Or whatever you want to say, you seem to be posting way better stuff then I come up with.

Btw SVS, whenever you get around to reading this, good job sniffing me and Bullz out.

Yeah SVS has a very fine dog nose for Mafia this game apparently. Woof.

I agree with Matt here. Play it cool, but still honest that you maybe would bus a teammate. WIFOM that shit like you are Stanley from Prinxess Bridd.

the steward gave me free wine on the flight so 5 glasses in and I'm flat drunk. Let's win on for th gipper!

This is so dumb.

I don't know how she came to that conclusion so effortlessly. She and Typh have been very good this game. Probably should have killed her last night as well, but ehhh. Again, I don't think it will stick. Thiugh now she has opened the can of worms.

Yeesh. Killing her now may look guilty.

If I don't kill her, we definitely don't win.

Don't fret, Bullz. I liked your two posts this morning (although the first one was funny..."do you really think I would bury my team the way that I have this game?" LOL).

Wilgy seems to be looking for answers, I would suggest letting him and SVS have a back and forth before you come back, see what happens. And if we're lucky, perhaps Epi will come back and defend your honor.

Or just do whatever haha. Would a civ Bullz keep responding or would he see someone coming after him and let it settle a bit before posting? Just do whatever you think civ Bullz would do haha.

Damn SVS is good.

I just give up, today has been such a shitty day for me that I don't have the energy for mafia. Even if I do try to defend myself I'll just get the age-old accusation of overreacting and die for trying. I don't know why I play this game sometimes.

I just want to tell you good luck- we're all counting on you.

Typh did the same thing to me. They're 100% correct, but will also give you no outs when they're deadset in thinking you're bad. I dunno, man. It doesn't look great, and the fact that they even came to that conclusion based on not posting is one I don't think I would have noticed.

Just sit back a bit and see if you can last this round. I often have little pangs where I'm like wtf am I doing? Hell, I posted like 800 times in LC's Recruitment mafia, and didn't win. So whatever.

Don't worry about it, Bullz. Even if we lose, we're still obvi the best Mafia team ever and should be proud of that.

Chill, collect your thoughts, and come back later. Remember, whenever you post for the last time today, be sure to remind people that you are graduating and won't be around Thursday. Would town really lynch a graduate??

Of course they would because they'd say I was lying in an attempt to get out of it.

Lol.

If you get lynched, oh well. We still had a blast (or I did anyway haha). I hope you don't think me and Scotty will be like "Oh Bullz sucks we never wanna be teamies with him again". Quite the opposite, I believe we should petition to be baddie teammates every game!

Here here!

Lol. I swear, every single game we play, I go after you Bullz. No one says jack. Now Sorsha and DF are all over my comments about you, too. Wth???

Anyway, off to work. I don't think I'm going to comment this morning, let's see where the thread goes by the time I get home.

Later gents!

Told you guys

Bwahahaha

Alright, so Epi hasn't responded to SVS yet, but he did just post and it looks like he's still eyeing nutella.

That's good right now!

Something we need to figure out assuming SVS doesn't get Bullz lynched today...

Do we kill SVS or not?

I'm not sure which looks better, tbh. I'm leaning on letting her live.

She might even question her own instincts if we let her live.

I was thinking about that, as I said earlier. But I do think killing her is our best option:

If we kill Epi, who is our current knight in shining armor, Wilgy and SVS- who have current doubts (even though Wilgy hasn't voted Bullz yet)- could just lynch Bullz and we will prolly lose. Plus to the lay observer, mafia killing one of the 2 most non-civ players throughout the game is a glaringly obvious strategy that these guys might pick up on.

If we kill SVS, then at least Wilgy can continue being a Doubting Dennis, and we still have a chance with Epi clearing us. It could look like framing being done for Bullz, and I think we would still have a chance to make it out.

Or. Epi could just wise up after his main target, nutella, is found to be civ, and vote Bullz.

Scotty wrote:Do you think it likely that down the line playing the bored civ card and not dying will make people wonder? I think having a little flak last phase was good for you overall, so you at least look a little dirty. The argument against why you aren't being killed by Mafia could be that you are a low-participating civ, and the Mafia might want you to stick around as well. So your strategy could be incredibly valid!

I believvvve

I still believvvvve

I think it would be funny if Bullz doesn't die, if we don't kill anyone again tonight.

SVS wants us to read you, Matt.

I read you.

You are Matt.

Hah! Now what, SVS? I read him- now what?

At this point I'm almost certainly going to be lynched while I'm not around to argue, so I really don't care what happens. It's not like I ever win anyway, I don't know why I thought this game would be any different. Sorry guys. I got really bad news when I woke up this morning and the rest of the day has just been a downward spiral for me. I can't play in this mood.

Yo man, if we lose we lose. ee gave it our best. Seriously, you should be proud of that. Sometimes people just get stuck in their ways of thinking and the cookie crumbles the wrong way.

Whatever happened to you this morning, take solace that you're not dead. Because then you'd be dead.

Bullzy, don't be so hard on yourself lol.

Seriously, if we lose, oh well. Not a big deal.

That's right, you tell her Epig! Bullz wouldn't bus his entire team!

No matter how this plays out, I'm havin' fun. Can't wait to see Spectator Chat!

Wow, she's really gunnin' for you Bullz!

This is somewhat exciting.

Epi has declared SVS "all right" ! SVS is encouraging Epi to look at her case further!

This is nail biting!

She is about to sway Epi. If nutella does get lynched, and if Epi's case against Wilgy is not at all there, he could just vote Bullz tomorrow and it would be game over.

And no one would buy that SVS is bad, I mean hell, even Epi is not suspecting her really.

Lol. SVS is going to take us down.

Abandon ship!



(we should've killed her last night. gotta love hindsight!)

Will Epi vote for nutella or Bullz?!

Hopefully Wilgy keeps his vote on nutella regardless! Gaaah!

Oh my, he made a big ol' case on Wilgy but hasn't voted yet.

If he votes Wilgy, let's hope Wilgy keeps his vote on nute and let's hope we win the tie.

Oh boy, that's a lotta hope.

Btw Bullz, I hope you're enjoying your graduation!!!

Remember, even if we lose, we won, because we got to share this awesome btsc. Woot!

So Epig voted Wilgy.

Now Wilgy may vote Bullz. Argh!

Also, if you were civvie, Bullz, that's pretty funny that SVS mentioned how you didn't even post today despite you saying you wouldn't be around today cuz graduation. I think you do get unfairly picked on lol. You're not even posting in here!

Wilgy voted Bullz.

Good game, gents!

I immediately voted the host option after Wilgy voted Bullz, hopefully someone will see that and go "Whaaa?"

Again, good game friends. And remember, from here on out, if you are bad, destroy SVS as soon as you can.

Scotty, where you at? Bullz has an excuse not to be here, you should be celebrating this loss with me!

So the only chance we have right now is if Wilgy changes back to nutella or nutella changes to Wilgy.

Derp.

I'm all alone in btsc

I'm bored. Nobody's here to play. Okay, off to watch Star Trek!

Side-note: Scotty, after seeing your avatar over and over, then remembering that Netflix carries all seasons of every Star Trek, I decided to binge 'em all! Gaaah!

I've seen all the movies and some of TOS and TNG, I liked 'em.

One last thing...

People give me too much credit lol. I was just sussing Bullz cuz I always do and I thought it'd look weird if I didn't.

Oh how wrong I was.

I'll be back for the big reveal, assuming Golden does it right away. Hopefully, because I have to leave here about 25 minutes after the poll ends! I don't want to miss the whole after party

Still no one here? Derp.

Wilgy's questioning nutella right now, that'd be keen if he switched his vote!

Although, in case this is our last breath, for you my brave mafia friends...

20 minutes till poll ends! Gaaah!

Wilgy's lurking in the thread. Go on, Wilgy! You know you want to vote nutella and not poor Bullz

7 minutes left!

Gaaah! C'mon Wilgy!!! You know you don't trust nutella, vote for her!!!! Gaah

Good game guys, you played well.
