The Syndicate

It wasn't a strong preference. It was Night 2 and nothing stood out to me.

The only block I got I used on Jack.

You will when they are made.

Also, you played well.

Nope. I'm not using a P-Score.

If you flake on one of my games, you're not playing another.

Or, gee, I don't know, people can play games they sign up for.

If someone flakes on one of your games, say "Sorry, you're not signing up for my next one."

If you put a lot of energy in a game and people sign up and don't play, that's bullshit.

That's like breaking a promise.

Jay said he won't revive the modkill argument but I will.

Let's start modkilling inactives.

Plz.

The participation scores we had for a time were a good way to deal with it. Though I never saw them in practice, I guess.

That was my idea.

No host ever used it.

No. I still don't agree with this at all.

This game would have been much better if Penny, INH and Dom were dead by Day 4.

Of course. You're mafia. Two for one.

I wish people would stop signing up for games they can't play.

I was busy as hell but at least still managed to post and vote.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 9:46 pm I didn't shoot Epignosis because he was poking me. I just thought his play made him a decent shot to be the unlynchable mafia boss -- and if he is that, I must shoot him during the night phase.

I can't be lynched...

...so I played like that?

Come on man.

How do you play if you're unlynchable?

Why would I tell you that?

Nobody ever believes me, but I'll say it again:

My participation and what I contribute has nothing whatsoever to do with my alignment.

It has everything to do with how much time I have.

People keep saying, "Ah, Epignosis is quieter than usual." It means I'm busy. It means I can't read the thread at work. It means a hundred other things.

"Yes but Night Vale you were very quiet."

I also had a role that had an extra vote and was easily discerned, and so I knew I would be found out eventually (just as I had when I was bad and my vote counted as three in Breaking Bad).

Shooting me was foolish. Let me be lynched if I am to be removed, and if I could not be lynched, shoot me then. That move was a bad one.

People trying to figure me out on the basis of how much I'm posting is also foolish.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 9:45 pm If I am being honest here, I think this game was more about great mafia play than terrible civilian play. I don't look back at any of these lynches we made and say "what were we thinking?".

We didn't ignore the active players. We lynched Jack. We didn't give people a break who did things we thought were suspicious. We lynched lapluie and sprityo. The Dom and Pennywise lynches were pretty much required by the numbers anyway, so crying about those is pointless.

The mafia members were just never the most suspicious people on the board. That's the goal. Well played, well done.

I agree the mafia played a clean game. It was well-executed.

This isn't true. I never really suspected JJJ until after I died.

It was an act. If you read back through the thread, I never went after JJJ during the Day. Only at Night.

To keep him alive.

I knew what I was doing.

The perception is all that matters though.

I was counting on that.

I wasn't distracted by him. And he shot me, so I ceased being a distraction to him.

Okay. Whether I'm right or wrong leaving you two alive in the thread together worked as we intended for it to. I mean, you goading him got you shot so isn't that kind of proof positive of my point?

You had resolved to leave us both alive, so my plan was purposeless from the beginning.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 8:00 pm Also, late in the game it was clear that nobody should trust me and that it was a cause for suspicion when people still did. Unfortunately though, I couldn't genuinely trust anyone. I have never felt so untrusting of so many players (and that is no criticism since I was horrible in this game). The only person I was sure was a civilian when it ended was wolbre04 -- and he wasn't.

He was the one who acted like he didn't know someone was sleeping with the fishes, as I recall.

Anybody pulls that shit ever, you're done. Read the thread or you're history.

Kills were going through, and they were smart ones.

After the first four misses, it's mathematically impossible to win if they're civilians anyway. If they don't vote, we can't control the poll. The mafia have a numbers advantage even when they don't. Everything else was moot.

That's five misses to you.

I am exactly as sorry about that as you were about your lynch stop in Fire Emblem.

That's fair, except in my defense I thought you and dunya were both bad. You turning up good deflated my interest in lynching her.

Had I gotten dunya first, I still would have crucified you, so take that for what it's worth.

Granted, at the time I thought my role was nightly and not one-shot -- I believe if I didn't pull the trigger it would be randomized. So.

Random would have been better.
