The Syndicate

There is lynching you sooner.

Day 8

Instead of Marmot.

People voted me when they should have voted you.

Some people in Pikachu even held from voting because they wanted to see you lynched

Marmot had 5 votes I think. You had 1.

Is there precedent for a mafia role that starts BTSC with only 1 of their teammates, and the other teammates have to relay info to that player for communication? Is it out of the question for a role like that to exist in a game where everyone has 2 lives and the BTSC can be lost?

Ain't that a bitch

Scotty wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 1:58 pmBgood things to look for, indeed. Could be a smear campaign for nutella if speed was civ. I don't have a reason yet laid out on why speed would be her target. She had already lost a life, so maybe she was feeling the heat to expend her power?

If speed is mafia, he is either on Strex or a 3rd mafia team, should it exist. 100%.

If speed is civ, there is a civ identity revealer out there, that had a one-shot ability like nutella had.

that's not exactly what I'm saying really. I'm saying that if speedchuck is civ, and his presented theory of what happened actually happened then there would be one player who would know his innocence by necessity, since a player who had a true flip dump type role would probably know that they did it. if i were in the position of the player with the hypothetical flip revealy power id be fighting like hell to clear things up. so the biggest problem I see with speedchuck's explanation is that that sort of thing *isn't* happening, or at least doesn't seem to be.

I am curious
My role sounds much worse than his
Why no vote for me?

Are you voting for
Wilgy ONLY for the role
Description? Or why?

If only for the
Role Description you look bad
for that vote reason

I disagree.

Wilgy's sounds more like a role that would be given to mafia.

You think Wilgys role
Sounds worse than this horror show?
First roles don"t matter

58: The Asian Flu (Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3). Any person who votes for you will contract the asian flu unless they are innoculated, and will have a 10% chance of dying in place of the lynch or nightkill. Effect will persist until innoculated. Up to 10 people may be infected in this way at a time. Once innoculated, a person cannot be reinfected.

LCs first role was
Commander Shepherd which is
Way civvie sounding

Aubergine *Speedchuck*
He will flip civ; he isn't
He is a baddie

Yes.

A role that kills that indiscriminately is really powerful in the hands of mafia. All you gotta do is play scummy on purpose. It's OP.

While Wilgy's role has limited power for mafia and near useless for a civ so it looks more like a role designed for mafia.

Besides, your play in your first role looked like someone trying to avoid letting it kill people.

A fundamental misunderstanding of Long Con's role I think.

That or I fundamentally misunderstand.

SVS is the only person who can defend me, understanding that it doesn't make sense for me to be Strexcorp.

Aaaaaannnddd she puts me on the Evil Evens.

A shit Speedchuck I tried bud. Looks like you have the most votes.

Long Con's role doesn't cause someone's living role to appear in the thread with an affiliation in the middle of the phase. I raised this point before and you dismissed it as "semantics." For you to be correct, the hosts have to be lying about what Long Con's role actually says.

And why would Long Con target speedchuck? speedchuck was unlikely to be lynched, and is only getting votes because of something nutella (his teammate) most likely caused.

can we lynch wilgy pretty please?

i promise i won't take speedchuck off the poll tomorrow. because i can't take speedchuck off the poll tomorrow. because i can't take people off the poll.

Can't quote the tribe stuff cuz its all locked up but This post from Pikachu v1 pretty much squashes the Speedchuck/LC/Nutella confusion

Hey, I'll tell ya what. If we lynch speedchuck today, I'll give you one free Wilgy lynch tomorrow. Lynch One Get One (LOGO) free!

Who knows, we might need the doc tomorrow for the aneurysms that are bound to occur when speed flips bad.

How do you know LC made him look civilian?

How do you know someone else, a civilian role, revealed this civilian role?

How do you know nutella didn't target speedchuck?

96: Michaelangelo, forger (Phenon). You may choose one player, and have them appear as any affiliation that you wish upon death. You may change the identity of that player at any time other than during the last hour of a phase. You are MAFIA and a member of the EVIL EVENS.


You are 16: Fox news (BLUE vs RED). Once, at any time, you may choose a player whose role and affiliation will be announced in the thread. If that player is mafia, they will be announced to be a civilian. If that player is civilian, they will be announced to be mafia. If that player is independent, your shot will fail. The player may not be from your team. You are MAFIA and a member of the EVIL EVENS.

[VOTE: Speedchuck] aubergine Open and shut. Speed's bad.

I don't really understand. You suspect speedchuck but you don't think Nutella used her role on him, but instead think that long con used his role to make speedchuck look like a civ and a separate unknown truthful revealer role also targeted speedchuck? is this by coincidence or by plan, and isn't this just like.... the same theory as the most common theory about Speedchuck except with a bunch of extra steps and unknowns thrown in to reach kind of the same conclusion?

But A. it puts me on the evens, and B. is contradicted by LC's role.

SVS thinks that LC, with me as his teammate (on the evens), swapped my death alignment to town.
She thinks that a townie revealed me as town (even though I'm totes Even scum), because LC's role somehow affected that. (It can't)
She thinks Nutella had no role in this at all. LC + Townie is all that there was (legit impossible, even if someone was stepping up to bat to defend me)

All because she cannot reconcile my defense of LC after he slipped as coming from town.

She cannot accept that I'm Strex (good on her)
But she also cannot accept that I'm town (Blerp)

I will flip town. She will claim that was LC's work.

Ah ken see tha future, ah ken

ganna blaw a lotta moinds, yes sah

You're either scum or you played the scumiest town game of all time :P

Sorry I disappeared most of the phase, I'm sure my fans will be very disappointed in me. I basically just got distracted doing other things in the real world. To try to make up for it, here's a sporty little number:


As for the question at hand, I think DDL said it best: mechanics > reads. Speedchuck isn't mechanically confirmed scum, no, but there's a really good mechanical reason to think he is, vs a pretty good read-based reason to think Wilgy is. When in doubt, follow the mechanics.

[VOTE: speedchuck] aubergine

(I also don't like speedchuck saying pinning the lynch on mechanics is lazy or avoiding blame or whatever. This is kinda like a cop saying "so and so is bad." Sure there's plenty of potential ways that could be wrong, but thay doesn't mean you don't lynch so and so.)

And I thought my town game was pretty good this game.

Bye.

that's not what I asked

or at least not what I was trying to ask...

you keep implying that it's unlikely for you to be on one mafia team or the other for some reason and I want to know why?

FWIW speedchuck no matter which way you flip I appreciate you sticking around and playing hard/well despite seeming very dead man walking coming into the day.
