The Syndicate

Or DDL's

Should have voted no lynch.

Alas, Cap'n Sloonbeard's been off countin' his booty for a while now, but I be here just in the nick o' time to see ye boys pushing my dear lad colonialbob off the plank. Arr, he was a good lad, a pirate's life be the only one for him. Well, let's find out if he be a proper meal for the fishes, or just another poor salty bloke.

colonialbob has been lynched. He was... It is Night.

Hey? Sorry? What? Fuck?

Mafia is Speedchuck and Jack

Arr, it's a sad day when a captain be forced to give up his own ship. Ol' Sloonbeard should have seen 'er coming the day you lot started whisperin' about mutiny. I thought I treated ye fair, always shared my booty, and kept the rum a-flowin', night and day. But now too many of me best men have been lost overboard. Ye villains have me outnumbered. Treat her well, boys, and keep the parrot if ye will. Sloonbeard's days as Captain of the Black Sock are over.

Sig has been killed. He was a vanilla pirate.
Outnumbered by mutineers, Captain Sloonbeard has been marooned on a desert island.

The Mutineers have won. The Black Sock now belongs to...

Congratulations, ye scoundrels. I thank the rest of ye for serving loyally on me crew.

Arrr!

I need a break.

Thanks for the game Sloon and Jay!

Welp.

I will never trust either of you again.

but good work and congrats!

That's twice now Cap'n Sloonbeard has been thwarted by mutineers.

you'd think i would have learned my lesson by now.

I take a small amount of solace that my speedchuck read was good and my gut feel on Jack was good as well. Knew I'd never be able to substantiate that though, and as a new replacement under the gun myself it'd never fly.

Congrats you two! Sure would've been nice to have another townie around at EOD though.

Even though I'm pretty sure I singlehandedly lost the game for everyone by being really bad at everything I enjoyed this game a lot and it was a pretty good reintroduction back into games.

Thank you Sloonei and Jay for hosting

Not singlehandedly, I helped quite a bit.

The 5 vs 2 no lynch was enough to inspire me to lay out all my present civilian philosophy in a video presentation.

Funny. I'm the one with that feeling right now.

Few things make me few so weak and incompetent than playing mafia in this site. It's like everybody is multiple orders of magnitude better than me at the game, as both civ and bad.

I've been beaten up so badly here that it shaped by playstyle. I used to be a lot more confident when I first came here. Now I changed my playstyle, but it doesn't seem like it's working either.

I mean I think we all helped a little.

And I guess I shouldn't give myself too much credit.... If I had died then Jack or speedchuck still probably would have won

You did good. Had a correct read on me for most of the game. I'll look forward to playing with you again.

Speedchuck did a really great job of staying just exactly on peoples radar but not front and center.

I was actually convinced that Jack wasn't mafia because he wasn't coasting. What a bizarre line of reasoning. Why would I assume he wouldn't work hard

9 vs 3 is a tough setup for town to overcome. They had a good start with daisy Night 1 save followed by the MP lynch Day 2, but chuck and jack were impossible to crack. I'm glad I was hosting instead of playing, because I would have looked silly trying to catch them in this game. You all put up a good fight, it's a shame it ended with some townies asleep at the wheel.
Thanks for playing, everybody.

Your old avatar gave off more confidence.

I had a gut feeling of jack all game, but didn't feel like acting on it.

Meh.

Should have turned Tinfoil DDL Mode from the start and just rolled with it.

Same here.

Hey Speedchuck, did you talk me into the no lynch knowing it would be the most advantageous for you?

Dunno if this makes a difference, but you might be right.

This character is a godamn badass, though.

Why did you guys kill me?

It was a pleasure to host you in your return, honestly. Unfamiliar faces are always a wildcard, and I was delighted when you came out leading the charge from the getgo. Now I look forward to playing more with you in the future.

I think there is one minor victory to be extrapolated here: sig wasn't mislynched!

Well one thing I can say for sure:

I'm never doing a CFD again.

I've seen CFD's work and I've seen them fail. They're a case-specific event that will always depend on specific circumstances for me. But if I find myself disliking all of the on-the-table options near the end of the day and things feel off, I'm going to make some noise and try to shake something else loose 99 times out of 100. If nothing else it puts people under pressure and forces reactions.

It would have been more advantageous to let you die. I was acting townie, genuinely trying to keep you a live, and did a legit mind fart on the lynch.

My "Oh, I'm stupid" moment was real.

Yeah good thing I definitely followed through on that instead of forgetting about it until now

Fun game, Captain. Laughed every time Jimmy posted.

Fist bump to Speed. Couldn't have won without ya.

Right back atcha!

Oh, and good job avoiding a lynch for a day, MP, so I could look good bussing you and waste a town day on Wilgy.

For the record, didn't have a legit reason to lynch Wilgy.

Hey everyone! i know that game is over, and if youre itching for revenge we do have another signup going on right now hosted by your's truly

congratz to speedchuck and jack

a deadly duo for sure

(also i totally wouldve guessed speedchuck since i know his scum game by now )

Well shit sorry for being inactive the last few days, I kinda forgot about a test I had on Monday so I had to cram for it.

Having said that I'd probably have had just gone after DDL and ignored the real mafia members.

Thank for the game though it was fun.

My first mistake was in the role. Sloonei said I'm a watcher and I assumed that was a tracker role. I've never had a "watcher" in a game I've played.

My second mistake was writing in my notes for night 2 to watch Long Con, but then The National happened and a 5 hr drive, and I remembered while standing in the concert hall that I hadn't sent my night action in so I told JJJ over whatsapp if he can log me in to watch speedchuck even though he was in my "suspect list" at that point. No fucking idea why. I had no brain cells then.

So you can all say I singlehandedly lost you the game cos if I'd watched LongCon as intended, we'd have gotten speedchuck and quite possible have won.

Yep, I can retire now from mafia.

Hugs to Kyle for taking my suspicions like a real baller. I've had that sort of irrational suspicion on me countless times and it's annoying as f. Thanks bud!

Well played speedchuck! Well played Jack, nice to a see a replacement really make an effort!

I forbid you from retiring.

Nobody singlehandedly lost this game. There were numerous factors which contributed to the end result:

~ The mafia team was active throughout (if considering Jack), and an active mafia team is by default more difficult to solve than an inactive mafia team.

~ The total civilian effort was fantastic through 90% of Day 1 and then it fell off of a cliff. The DrWilgy lynch was really bad from my perspective, and it was an unfortunate way to end one of the most active Day 1s we've ever had in a heist game here. It seemed like a great deal of hard work was forgotten at the last minute and the easiest lynch available (the guy being weird) was selected instead of one informed by the discussion.

~ From Days 2 through 5, the game slowed significantly. Indeed, nearly half of the posts in this game thread occurred on Day 1 -- let that sink in. It is of course understandable that some folks had things going on in real life and that's perfectly fine. The entire civilian faction just shut down though, and it allowed speedchuck and later Jack to simply take over the game. They became essentially unlynchable because they were the most influential voices in the thread. Even if they were suspected they weren't getting lynched, and I think they were both pretty comfortable. A comfortable mafia team is rarely going to lose.

~ The no lynch at 5 vs 2 was the worst-possible strategic move for the civilians when it occurred. Any lynch available, even of a civilian, would have been better in that situation.

~ At 4 vs 2, a no lynch actually would have made sense. Inactivity and a lack of team cohesion prevented it though, and left the door open for the endgame shenanigan vote switches.

I don't mean for this to be critical of anyone. Shit happens. Civilians grow with every loss.
