And yet you didn't vote for it.

Enrique is scum, confirmed.

I'm voting Alderaan, just to make the poll a bit more interesting, and because some people think it sounds OK. I doubt Epi made the results obvious though, if there are any (besides serving as a mechanic for the role that Golden pointed out).

I'm glad that in our first game together you get to be scum and I get to be civ.

Post 6.

I am the master of seeing the insincere effort in day 1 posts. There should be a rule in every game to let Mac choose who to lynch on day 1.

And then Mac isn't allowed to post anymore for the rest of the game because he is just wrong forever after that.

I did same thing in the RYM West Wing game, Dune game, Reborn ... well not so much in Reborn.

I just realized that Matt got lynched on the first day, and the final day. That's funny.

Thanks for hosting my last game here DH and Epi - it was a real fucking trip to say the least but the posts were on point and a pleasure to read.

Bye Syndicate!

Aww.

Bye Roxy, it's been a pleasure being your partner-in-crime. I hope you still pop in from time-to-time.

Until next time Roxy

Peace out Rox

What a fun game this was. When do you plan on creating the prequel trilogy, hosts?

Btw Roxy, on the off chance you pop back in here real quick, what was up with "If you lynch me, you catch a baddie" ? Leading us to one of your suspicions had we ISO'd you, or were you just like "Eff the civs" ?

I hate prequels. They're coarse, rough, irritating, and they get everywhere. Count me in for the sequel trilogy game in 2020 though after MP sells The Syndicate to Disney for squillions of dollars.

Squillions is officially my new favorite word!

Also, yes on prequel trilogy mafia. Make Jar Jar an unstoppable indy!

Darth Jar Jar ftw. I've always wanted to be an SK, this could be the one for me!

Do you believe the theory that Jar Jar was originally supposed to be a Sith but Lucas backed down after the Jar Jar backlash from Episode 1?

I think it's a fun theory to have. I don't necessarily believe it or consider it to be accurate, it's just funny. Personally I think Jar Jar is maliciously stupid both in-universe and as a character, but I don't think he's intentionally malicious.

I figured the theory itself was silly, but after watching the video, I was like "Hmmmmm"

Haha!

Never really understood the Jar Jar hate anyway. The biggest crime of the prequels is the Ani/Padme dialogue and Anakin screaming "yippee!" like three times during Phantom Menace. Oh, and midichlorians.

Anakin and Padme's entire relationship is so weird when you consider he was a small child when they first met. It's kinda creepy. Also he confesses to mass murder and she doesn't immediately run far far away. I think Anakin's entire storyline suffered the most from the bad writing that the prequels are plagued with. It could've been so much better really easily. The Cinema Sins videos actually do a good job of pointing this out IMO.

That eek was to 3J haha.

Those cinema sins videos were fun to watch. I watched each one after every movie in my recent marathon. Lol.

It could have been, and that's why I don't mind it too much.

I think the prequels are far better than their reputation, not that their reputation isn't deserved. It's just that I think most of the negatives are confined to specific people or aspects. Unfortunate that one of those people was Anakin (in all forms). The Palpatine side of things was pretty good, in my opinion, and the journey from Republic to Empire well crafted.

TRU

The Plinkett Review of Attack of the Clones also has an extensive and frankly hilarious point-by-point demonstration of how Anakin wouldn't actually seduce shit with the lines he's throwing at or the tantrums he's having around Padme - if not also come off as a total psycho.

Because he is a total psycho.

Tru, but this is about the romantic scenes not being believable one bit, by any normal human interaction standards.

Yes, I realized we did not have banners for this, and I went to work on them a few days ago. The results weren't what I was looking for. I'll try again.

Maybe you can change the course of what happened in the game, since you managed to return yourself to Day 6.

lulz

And here is the thing nobody has been waiting for.

Obviously, do not click on this at all, if by any stretch of the imagination you haven't seen it yet, but still plan to.

19 minutes? That's like basically the whole movie isn't it?

Yep.

I can't wait to watch that. I really love watching the Cinema Sins videos-- even about my favorite movies.

I acknowledge this is a rather extraordinary thing to do but this Star Wars game was my very first game here at The Syndicate and my actions in this game have (by some players) been misinterpreted and manipulated to the detriment of performance in games I've played since. I feel it is important then that I be given the opportunity to address this matter so that players in this game understand my side of this story and can make an informed decision on my historical actions.

It has been alleged that I left this game as a direct consequence of my (Mafia) alignment. I reject this assertion totally. I withdrew from this game at the beginning of Day 6 and other than voting for MacDougall, did not post at all from the beginning of that Day phase. What wasn't apparent to the general player population was that I had received a PM from our game Host at the end of Night 5 to the effect:

Epignosis wrote:You have been spit on and afflicted by madness by crumb. You may not mention the madness and you must vote for Mac for the duration of tomorrow. You may also not mention or quote any player that isn't mac or you will die.

At the time of my departure from this game, I was under heavy suspicion from a number of players and together with the responsibility I felt to my team in that game and other external, non-game related matters, I felt (at the time) that this direction placed me in an intolerable position where I could no longer adequately defend myself and I departed from the game immediately after fulfilling the requirements of that Host direction. I accept that my actions in that regard were wrong, it was immature and that it was not responsible. Under the circumstances that prevailed at that time however, fueled by intense frustration, I felt as though I had little option than to do what I did. The TRUTH of this matter IS that I was motivated by frustration and would (regrettably) very likely have left the game at that point IRRESPECTIVE OF MY ALIGNMENT.

Looking back I do regret my actions on that occasion (as described above) and I trust anyone who reads this will not judge me harshly for them.
