The Syndicate

Yay.^^

Thank you so much for the game, Floyd! I had a lot of fun with it.

And thank you for being such fun and awesome scummates, FZ and JJJ - Truly enjoyed scumming with you guys. \o/

Good game town.

Fucking hell, Jay. Even when I think I have you dead to rights and you won't see me coming, you still outwit me.

You should have been playing Survivor mafia after this performance tbh.

30 minute delay.

This was lucky for us. :3

When I caught up to my death I had realized that JJJ was bad and Epi was town. I was screaming about it in the deadie chat for the past week -__-

People at the airport are looking at me weird as I celebrate.

Good game everyone. At no point did I ever feel like we were truly "winning". It was a stressor. Thanks for hosting Floyd, you did a great job!

I'll have more to say later. I really do need to conserve phone charge.

I'm soooo bummed that they were ahead of us.

I'm soooo bummed that marmot didn't do what I said!

Oh really? That's good play! You would've been keeled though.
What inspired the vote change?

I would have? Damn. I thought I'd played well to survive.

From my perspective it didn't matter whether you or jay died. All that mattered was that you perceived I saw your teammate as inh, and Jay's as marmot, so I made it to the last day.

What inspired the shift, though, was just the idea of being responsible for lynching mafia jay. I left it as late as possible until I felt sure he wouldn't be around. I thought I had you convinced that I wouldn't see you as bad if you voted Jay with me. It all just fit.

Thank You everyone for your participation. I apologise for mistakes that only a novice host would make and the lack of the game' activity. PM your votes for MVP. I've got banners ready.

I would at least have killed you, I think. Don't know about JJJ, but think he mentioned the same, plus Marmot and INH looked more compatible with me. Everyone was, as we know.

Wouldn't a no lynch have ended in a scum win as well though? Or have I misunderstood something about tied votes, in which case whoops.

What's MVP?

Floyd, adding my voice to those saying you did a great hosting job. I hope we see a bit more of you

Dyslexicon wrote:What's MVP?

Who was the best player in the game?

Oh, also, why did you kill MP? I thought that kill was strange.

You have no idea the sense of loss I feel at Jay not getting off the plane and finding out I'd done a CFD on him. It will go down as one of the tragedies of my mafia career.

Oh. I think several players played really well tbh.

Because I wanted to be the top poster and that would never happen with MP in the game.
No, but he was scary and was suspicious of FZ and JJJ, and I somehow managed to talk myself into thinking he was cop, as I did with Luke. #TooParanoid. Also, having the thread slow down after MP died was a bonus we considered as well. Plus, I love MP. <3

Looking back, it would be kind of funny if the D1 CFD on Long Con had gone through. I love me some vote shenanigans.

Thank you Golden!
I won't host a game in the immediate future; schooling this year is more important. However, I will be around and do expect me to host again.

Floyd, you did a great job hosting.

I'm working today, didn't get a chance to check back in before deadline.

Well good game fellows.

AHHHHH, I knew Jay was bad!! I was starting to suspect something was wrong N1, and I started typing out a huge response, but didn't have the chance to post it until after N1, then found I was dead.

I must have missed some D5 EoD madness! Looked crazy. Shame we couldn't pull this one off.

Well played, FZ., Jay, and Dizzy. You all played really well. FZ. in particular had me rethinking her after that crazy D1 EoD.

No hard feelings marmot. I feared that CFD could happen, but because Jay had already gone I thought the time had past and that Jay had decided to live with whatever outcome came. They didn't need to win the game today. But if you had have been around and joined us on Jay, it would have been epic.

If 3J is alive at endgame, lynch him. Simple, really.

And definitely was a great game, Floyd, thanks for hosting! I loved it while I was alive, and it was intriguing to watch ever since.

We tried!

It's been one of the most eventful heists I can remember. It kept me genuinely engaged until I subbed in, and then it was just as exciting afterwards.

I thought so

3J came into the burglary baddie chat and just said 'lol' so I knew what was up.

I wasn't wrong when I said that this game would be hectic given all the people on the roster. What I did read was gripping even from a spectators perspective. Good job, guys. And to Floyd too.

FZ.

1. Because you did.

2. I said she was lying

A few thoughts:

~ Lynching nutella first was big. She has learned to clear herself effectively when civilian and to prevent that was significant.

~ The MP kill was unorthodox in that it wasn't cop-centric. It's almost the exact same kill my team made in the champs finale two years ago in this setup. MP was the motivational heart of the civilian faction and we ripped it out. The thread stagnated thereafter, to our gain.

~ The Luke kill was a mistake, and Dizzy and I get most of the blame for that. FZ wanted Epi. Luke was our #1 cop and Long Con was #2.

~ The fake cop claim was an idea all three of us developed at all times until it was needed. When the time came, FZ's execution was excellent.

~ When Golden subbed in, I said "aw SHIT" to my laptop screen. I sensed an unspoken mutual distrust between us, like a strategic shadow war waiting to reveal itself. I never believed he trusted me. Had I gone to a final three he'd have been dead, which is the ultimate nod of respect. I was literally a mafioso tinfoiling on a civilian.

~ Dizzy did an awesome job putting effortful content into the thread under pressure. Both of my teammates were fantastic in what I consider my core baddie belief: being suspected means nothing. Who gives a crap. Just get to the next day.

~ I didn't want to kill Epi. He gets killed too damned much. The cop ID sealed it though.

~ This was extremely close to going the other way. My hammer vote on INH processed simultaneous to the poll ending. We'd have been dead to rights.

Again, great game everyone.

Whaa, no, I thought it was AWESOME! Mostly because I thought you believed in me, and were throwing yourself in the path of the bullet.

I am of the opinion that the game was all but lost on that lynch because of an unfortunately apathetic night on the Civ front. People just weren't there to get convinced that FZ was lying.

I didn't really follow this game at all after I got lynched but wow. JJJ and Dizzy can be baddies?? That's possible??

Congrats guys.

There is no way I was letting you get lynched if I'd been around on that day one. Biggest travesty in the game. People still don't seem to get you.

nutella wrote:I didn't really follow this game at all after I got lynched but wow. JJJ and Dizzy can be baddies?? That's possible??

It was a good game. FZ pulled off a masterfully-timed fake cop claim and got me, the cop, lynched. Makes me want to play another game just like this, armed with the experience of this fakeclaim. Completely blindsided me!

I want to apologize for not being on top of my game. Being sick for a whole week was legit, and it put me way behind. Behind enough to get LC to waste a Cop Check on my sorry butt. :P

Good game, though, scum. Even when here I couldn't read you guys for crap.

When we have bad gut feels about someone D1, can we not murder everyone else till D3? While FZ played us well there, we have no excuse for that one.

On a note, you did get to see a good bit of vanilla town chuck.

My vanilla town game is pretty bad.

Good game, folks. And thanks for making my first MoD experience a breeze.

I might need you now after it turns out Jay is literally Houdini.

I think this is the most balanced setup I've seen. Having played it 4 times now, it really is perfect for equalizing the matchup. Its weakness is that it is so cop-focused that the entire game revolves around that player. Being the cop in this setup is probably more pressure than being mafia.

I've never been the cop though. Vanilla town twice and mafia twice.

I was so mad when I drew mafia in my Vompatti game. I really intended to do that the entire game and only stopped because I was bad and wanted to support my teammates better.

I was so ready to phone it in if I'd been a civilian.

When you stopped Vompatti'ing it I was about to make a NP joke about it but I thought that you could be doing exactly this so I'm glad I didn't end up doing it and giving people ammo against you

It'd be amusing to see the dead chat.

I put a lot of thought into your Vomping. Trying to figure out if this was really Jay Vomping as best as possible, or if there was a little too much effort for that and it was indicative of you being bad. I also thought about the fact you were moving into a mafia break...

In the end I discarded all of it. It was influencing me reading you just based on the thread.

These lynch end times were bad for me this past week. I've been spending my spring break working for a friend, and haven't been able to be around at End-of-Day time. This is no harp on Floyd by the way (you did great! Extremely punctual!). Just me grumbling over missing all the crazy End-of-Day shenanigans.

I don't know if I would have handled the FZ case differently, probably not, but I did manage to catch that in a skim on my phone and vote LC accordingly. I agree, masterfully played FZ.

But missing this last EoD sucked. But them's the breaks I guess.
