The Syndicate

Bitch Russ voted me. Uh-huh.

This was easily my worst performance ever.

So much thought goes into your games MP. Appropriate thought- Bioshock had a serious tone and elements that did the video game true justice. Avant 2 and Meatboy had unsurpassed wackiness that always had you looking over your shoulder (when the threat was always in front of you).

Ever amazing shit. Looking forward to your next one already.

I suggested lynching replacements. I just chose poorly.

When I Hosted I kept notes as I went.

Well done? What the hell am I saying?

Boy did I fail. I suspected Russ and Devin on and off but always found more compelling reasons to vote elsewhere. Well done bad guys!

Let's not do that again, k.

He was "defeated", yes, but this is his last ditch effort to spread evil!!

I once taught a student who spread evil. He had sex a lot.

Is it sad that I'm 30 years old and Mega Man took precedence over the bedroom?

Tell me why you are not reading the Mod posts?

Fuck civs.

My case on Hedgeowl was not that she was blendy or wish-washy.

It was that she kept saying "This will give us more inform...time to reflect on this...going to look at this with fresh eyes...OK, voting A Person."

There were no new insights since the Boomslang suspicion.

You didn't appreciate my massive vote tabulation after BOom's lynch? That shit takes time homey. Do you not suspect AP? I find his voting to be highly suspect this game.

Also, Mata is throwing suspicions at the wall to see if they stick like nothing I have seen before. But then I have never played her as a true baddie before. Maybe this is the first?

Considering Jiggy was civ, doesn't make Devin look great right now either, but it could be just a case of friends irl reading each other wrong as Llama does me every single time (and me this one time. Yeah first time I voted for llama I think).

Oh also, anyone want to volunteer that they found Dr. Fetus and thats why we moved to the Final? No, really? Cause I know who did.

I actually used your big post to decide to vote for you. "Some interesting stuff here" you said, and yet you never came back to articulate what interesting stuff.

As for AP, I always suspect him. Always. And I've been 100% wrong every time we lynched him. Gambler's fallacy? Yeah. But you didn't make a case on him. You just said you had shitty intuition, which is what you were acting on:

Hedgeowl wrote:I have also convinced myself that AP is not acting himself and think he is potentially bad. I am acting on intuition, which is usually terrible foe me, so I know if I should even encourage others to vote for him. if so and is civs I will feel really guilty, but I am having an impossible time reading people this game.

*votes AP*

Soooo....

Hedgeowl wrote:Yeah...I was feeling ok about Epi and starting to about Lizzy. Definitely feel confirmed in my vote for AP now and starting to eye Mata for that vote as well. This case Epi made on me basically says I am wishy-washy and blendy. I have been pretty busy and havent devoted time to this game, like others in the past. Interesting that his case is so weak however. He left out of my quotes concerning my suspiciosn on AP as well. I feel that this is possibly a baddie Epi trying to draw attention to me with a weak case. I actually wonder if Llama having a possible change of heart on me was his doom. (Forgot he did that btw). I have been put on the back burner by many, but make an excellent candidate to revisit I am sure. This game is clearly being controlled by baddies unfortunately and we do really need to lynch one, but that wont happen today.

Ah well, maybe tomorrow.

This is bad Hedgeowl through and through. No regrets voting you, sister.

I think I have made up my mind: Hedgeowl.

[quote=Hedgeowl]
Interesting how today's vote has gone. Sure let's see who Boomslang is. We will definitely learn something from this lynch I'd think.

*votes Boom*[/quote]

[quote=Hedgeowl]Wow, congrats Tofuslang! Yeah...that doesn't work as well as Baddieslang. Well played sir, well played. I am quite surprised that you even defended yourself so much. Hmm, will have to ponder what this means for tomorrow.

I am picking level 4![/quote]

[quote=Hedgeowl]
I went through the polls and did a little tabulating to see how the patterns are forming. Some interesting stuff here for sure. [/quote]

[quote=Hedgeowl]
RIP MR and BWT!

I was definitely suspecting BWT myself, so going to have to look at things with fresh eyes.[/quote]

After all this vague talk of "learn[ing] something," "ponder[ing] what that means," "interesting stuff," and "fresh eyes," this is the conclusion:

I'm trying to post.

I'm going through looking at the posts of people who got replaced. This exchange raised my eyebrow.

Since there's time, I will probably do a read through of most living people and make a decision. Cause dis shit gon stop t'day.

At this point I'm prepared to randomize. I'll probably do better.

Jeepers!

I believe Matahari was a splicer in Bioshock Mafia. I had to defend her at the end there.

I vote for DP / llama alone and there's a pileup on bird. Hmm...

This isn't the hot chocolate thread. I posted why.

A vote has been cast for DP.

Mongoose wrote: * and more.

Do tell.

Mongoose wrote: Epi - Okay, that makes sense. I am not sure my vote will lie with him, but I remember he said something that gave me the pricklies earlier in the game.

Of course not, since you're his teammate.

Elohcin wrote:I'm never buying boxed hot chocolate again. This homemade hot chocolate is amazing!

Best I ever tasted.

Mongoose wrote:What's the protocol on voting DP, since he is going to be replaced?

Hasn't been replaced yet. He's on the poll. Looks like fair game for today.

My vote will likely be going to either birdwithteeth11 or DisgruntledPorcupine. They are the two that jumped highest when I posted.

birdwithteeth11 wrote:From my experience, I would say #3 is usually the exact opposite. I've replaced into many games before, and only once was it with a baddie team.

(I'm basing this off of games I had already been in, died, and came back as a replacement. So it might not be the strongest sample size.)

It's just not something I see being very common. I think if it happens too much, it can give the baddies an advantage. Especially if it's civvies who were NKed.

DisgruntledPorcupine wrote:I don't know my thoughts really.

Epi, replacements replace anyone. Not just baddies. At basically a rate normal with initially getting the role. Not sure why your experience led you to believe otherwise.

Where it gets interesting is that they've BOTH missed three out of six votes...the same Day periods: 1, 4, & 5.

And when they do vote:

thellama73
3
birdwithteeth11 (4), insertnamehere (8), DisgruntledPorcupine (11) 23%

thellama73
5
Elohcin (5), Matahari (8), Boomslang (9), birdwithteeth11 (10), DisgruntledPorcupine (12)
29%

Boomslang
9
Lizzy (6), Devin the Omniscient (7), Mongoose (8), Elohcin (9), Matahari (10), A Person (11), birdwithteeth11 (12), Hedgeowl (13),
DisgruntledPorcupine (14) 64%

In sum, when they don't vote, it's together, and when they do vote, it's together, and always for a civilian. Six Day periods. God rested after that, folks.

Now does that strike you as a fantastic coincidence or is just me?

I'm here, just doing some light reading.

Less weird than the theory I had where you had worded it poorly, despite being an English teacher.

How so?

I assumed #3 was you saying that we shouldn't excuse replacements, it seemed more logical than just lynching them because they're replacements.

Nah, I meant what I said there.

But I don't necessarily mean what I said there.

Dun dun DAAAHHHH!!!!!

That is not the llama gambit, I'll have you know. I fish for reactions all the time.

thellama73 wrote:Now that all the votes have been cast, I can reveal the patented "Llama Gambit."

Knowing that most of the time baddies try to act helpful and logical to blend in with the civvies, I decided to act crazy and illogical. A baddie would have to be nuts to act the way I've been acting, and I was counting on the civs realizing that. Therefore, civs would be unlikely to vote for me, but baddies would see an opportunity. They could vote for a civ and when my affiliation is revealed excuse themselevs by saying "well, he was acting really crazy."

However, by revealing my strategy in the thread, one of two things will happen: Either I get lynched, in which case the civvies have good info on who the baddies are based on who voted for me, or I survive and still have good info based on the votes for me. Either way, my team is aided substantially towards victory.

This is the "Llama Gambit." I hope you are sa impressed with it as I was when I came up with it.

Devin the Omniscient wrote:
Also, Quiet Epi is a scary Epi

I'm not sure I agree. I'm not outright defending him, but I am leaning towards civ on him. He is still participating in in The Island over on Revolution Mafia. It makes me think he is putting all his effort there and may be a bit bored with this game (sorry MP) which makes me think he is civ. If he was bad, I definitely think he would be more active.

I'm inclined to agree with whoever (sorry I cannot remember) brought up A Person as a suspect. I suspected HIM in the beginning and I think it was Lizzy that defended him, I will have to go back and read to see. Something to think about.

But, even though I suspect A Person, I am sticking with a Boom vote today. I also agree with the suspicions on him and again, I think we need to keep our votes together as much as possible.

*votes Boomslang*

No madam.

I am bored because:

1. I was killed Night 1 and brought back. I have no need to defend myself. Which means I may die at any moment.

2. I have no suspicion on anyone given the nature of this game.

3. Replacements should be lynched, given that from my experience, such people replace bad guys.

Sorry for voting you Day 1, llams.

You'd still be alive if it weren't for me.

I'll vote Vompatti.

I'm going to renege on my thought that thellama73 is Dr. Fetus. This is attrition warfare; hastening the day of one's own vulnerability by not hiding Bandage Girl to hide one's identity is a poor strategy.

That doesn't absolve him, of course.

Just looking at past polls and I don't like your interaction with Hedgeowl.

Says the same Hedgie who jumped on the Devin bandwagon.

Hedgeowl was the third voter for Devin. That is hardly what I would call a bandwagon. Three people? Please. If that were the case, then I suppose the Day 2 vote against Hedgeowl was a real lulu!

I'm going to vote Lizzy too.

Stop that! I have a finite number of lives.

I actually think you're Dr. Fetus.

Then you are bad at reading me, so maybe I shouldn't trust you about your wife after all.

That's stellar logic.

Since I think you're the doctor, I won't be voting you either.
