The Syndicate

I think out of thread info should be as limited as possible. I used to HATE it back in the day when we used Chatango when people used to check to see who was online, etc. Although some things are unavoidable, like a person announcing in another thread, or forum, what their affiliation was. It is hard to ignore that. But in a perfect world, no out of thread info would be fair.

I subbed in to a game as a pretty much outed baddie once, and I managed to work with it and survived to the end, which was not easy, although I did not win (the Botnet, a recruiting group, won). That was the Hey Man game Good times!

Why did our killed get redirected on Night 2?

Hedgeowl targeted you.

I really enjoy this community, y'all are great and I'm sorry I have to go absent so soon.

I thank you, Sloonei. My other game will be playing at least after that, so I hope to see you then! Can't wait to actually play with you, as you were a joy to host.

Thanks. I hope you remember that when you vote for your favorite new forum member next year. (Kidding. Sort of.)

Though I have to say, your comment amuses me a little bit because I definitely did not take things so nonchalantly back in the day. Maybe something changed in me that day I went all Mr. Fun-Killer on ObscureAllure in the STV forums. I like to think fatherhood has brought out even more of my silly side too.

Whatever the case may be, it all boils down to perspective. I'm here for fun and it's just not worth getting all bent out of shape over an unfortunate happenstance that arises in a game on the internet that no one will remember me for after I'm dead. I signed up as a favor for Dom and I had fun with the situation for myself.

Did we ever find out who the insanifier was? Seriously, I love you! I've always wanted to use that thing. I'm pretty sure I've never been insanified before.

I realize not everyone shares my enthusiasm for my new-found affection for quirky themes but as long as I bring a smile to one person's face, I've accomplished my goal.

Turns out it was Neverwhere. I assumed it was you!

this was a great game Dom, very memorable. thankyou for hosting it

haha one can only hope. I think i'm on my 6th game now of only being good, I am starting to think this is all there is to the game

I think I had to wait until my 8th or 9th game to be bad.

It was my fifth or sixth, maybe. And I got lynched Day One, lynch led by Long Con

I was so horrible, lol.

HOW DO YOU REMEMBER THIS STUFF?? Which game was it?

LAs Twilight game. You made a list of roles and discussed them as you do, and I was like (with my own role, lol) "Hey, you shouldn't blow that role off. It's really powerful". Lord was I weak

I remember that one specifically becasue it was the Coxie game, the one where the civvies kept her alive (she was my teammate) so the kill would not pass.

If we could find someone (since danhm is just not gonna do it) who knows SQL, then there's a chance we could get The Piano back online. Even just as a historical reference.

AFTER ALL THAT SHIT YOU GUYS LET LONG CON'S TEAM WIN

Tee hee.

I just signed up for your game at JTM, so I hope you aren't a vengeful host

Awww. But we just finished Salt Therapy. Guess we need Bious to give you some more appointments.


Anyway, I did find it hilarious how long my name was a relevant topic after I left. Epignosis being revived did extremely piss me off yes, but that wasnt why I subbed out. I legitimately had no home internet. You can ask Bass The Clever. I hadnt signed into XBL for like an entire month and that is very far out of the ordinary. But Epi being brought back into the game immediately after being night killed is exactly why I will never play another game where dead players can be subbed in. Sure if you twist and bend the fuck out of that night phase, we essentially night killed Moving Pictures. But that wasnt who I wanted dead. If I wanted MP, dead, I wouldve killed MP. But I wanted Epi gone, and by subbing him back in right after death you essentially overrode my night kill and I am not having that shit as long as I have a choice. If that ever happens to me again I will explicitly ruin a game to make a lesson out of it. Count on that.

At the very least, players who are night killed by vigi, third party, and mafia should be exempt from subbing back into the game. Only lynched civs should be allowed to sub back in, but even then I would prefer that it not be allowed in the first place.

No, we won't be counting on that. I suggest you rethink that manner of expressing your dissatisfaction, because if you follow through with your "lesson," we won't be hearing from you here.

i think everyone would prefer an outside player as a sub when possible, but sometimes it isn't possible. bringing someone back for round two is better than a modkill.

I'll be checking with the GM(hosts) prior to any time I sing up here anyway, and as long as nobody lies to me about their policy on dead player subs and brings one back in anyway after they told me they wouldnt, it should be a problem anyway. I think the only exception I will be making is in Roxy's upcoming game. Bass wants me to play it since I'm pulling him into Cobalt's Teen Wolf game.

[quote="XthAtGAm3RGuYX"] it should* be a problem anyway./quote]
*Shouldn't

There isn't a policy on dead players subs that I know of, except if hosts individually come up with one (or you force them into committing to one, which you seem to imply). JJJ's take on it sounds about right to me, normally I'd try in order with players who signed as replacements, non-players (whilst not exactly trying to ask the entire forum, either) and only then 2.0s - that would have to have been confirmed civs as 1.0 or players without any 1.0 knowledge of remaining players' roles/alignment (from checking or having BTSC). I can see how Epig's sub was a bit unclear, since he was NKd, but I don't find it more dramatic than that.

I think he really likes you.

Thanks to LC for the wonderful banners.

Thanks for the game Dom. It turns out I have had no internet access on my camping trip. (I'm actually at an Internet cafe atm so don't have time yet to read all that went down)

I loved my role (it was especially fun to repeatedly silence the people who I knew it would irritate the most ) and I loved my team
Congrats winners!

After we lynched you and you were the phantom, I realised I should have known that might be you.

As it turned out, silence was a blessing because I was so busy during this game that it meant I could legitimately check out a little for a couple of days.

I appreciate everyone who put effort into this game. I loved hosting you.


I also want to say that there was a third prize STILL available from trivia and it would have really changed the game. It was the mystery prize, and I'm shocked no one took it. It was basically, a "what do you want for a prize? propose something and i'll consider it" prize. That could have utterly changed the game.

All I needed was the damn role check. And I got killed anyway. Thanks for nothing fingersplints.

What did I do?

I mean besides kill you twice idk why all the kills had the chandelier in them. Faraday sent them in not me although I agreed to all except one which turns out was the best one of them all Haha

You and G were right about SVS though!!!

Lol no I lost I made a lot of mistakes early on in my mafia career

My first game as a baddie I get lynched in LYLO. It was unfortunate times.

My first game here as a baddie, I won!

The first game I ever won was as a baddie (Sesame Street on STV) but I think it was my third time. The second time I was a baddie it was LC's Sandman game on RM, and I was fairly new to polls so I voted without posting not realising it was not good form. I got lynched Day 1.
like I said I made a lot of mistakes early on

I was a baddie in my first game. I don't remember why/how I got lynched.... maybe I got NK'd I don't remember.
