The Syndicate

You also said you are a fella so you have lied at least once... how do we know which one?

I have to leave soon and I don't trust that rox is an animal so I'm throwing out my vote

the evil smiley doesn't really help

Only if they were a jerk imo

splints, which team is the mafia? OBVIOUSLY, anyone who disagrees with Fingersplints is a member of the secret police or the Gestapo, and must be lynched at any cost. This just seems mean and petty. Question to all Gals and Fellas - What if - just read the following with an open mind - What if when...

I forgot 3. You are a Gal and for some absurd reason you think lynching INH is necessary to ensure your own survival. In which case, as I said, you should EXPLAIN your reasoning.

Imagine if, say, a judicial process was based on vague feelings and suggestions

Except I don't know who my teammates are, do I? or what team inh is on... So lynching inh just might complete my win condition, which I am not missing, thanks. As far as I can tell there are two ways that could be: 1. You are Fellas and you think he is an Animal 2. You are Animals, you think either...

Hell, the game is literally called OBLIQUE STRATEGIES. I think a lot of people completely miss the insinuations of that

i.e. that typical mafia tactics (arguing and trying to fabricate lynch cases on random people) will accomplish nothing

sorry for missing the lynch poll. I would have voted inh for the confrontational tone in his last post to me: What is the point of that, though? I think you are totally missing the win conditions. If him being confrontational makes you think he is on a particular team, and voting for that team woul...

meeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaattttttt

there is a restaurant in my city called MEAT

the sign on the side of the building is a big arrow that says EAT MEAT HERE

it's beautiful

Well we certainly aren't lynching anybody right now

soylent green, it's people!!!

I want to believe you rox, but you are making it hard

i love sandwiches, brb

Roxy wrote: I am actually an Animal and you may lynch me next. <3

Less than a day after you said you are a fella is not very convincing, especially since you also said you don't support the plan so I have to assume you intend to mess with it

Steady as she goes

I will vote SVS to keep the strategy going. (Sorry my posts are so short and few - this is hell week at work and I should be good and more participatory after tomorrow night :huh:) At least your PLC didn't decide to have a meeting...tomorrow morning at 7:45 am. On the day we have to stay until 8pm....

is this the shred room

Fair point, my overgeneralization was more based on the fact that their win chance is improved when more of them are alive

and Rox, you still haven't explained what ulterior motives there could possibly be for INH. It is a game with win conditions. He is trying to win. What other motive would there be? His strategy happens to support my team winning (regardless of whether he is on my team or not, as I have no clue) so I...

Even though we are not supposed to use our abilities at night someone did and has completely affected the way I felt about inh. I do not want another Animal outed until the Fellas and Gals have all been outed first - seems like a fair request if you want others to play along. I don't think it logic...

I forgot to say earlier that I vote SVS, even if you don't support the plan it makes most sense to lynch people who will facilitate your own victory, ie people not on your team if you are fellas or gals

^^^ this Plus I do not trust inh's motives. What, pray tell, does pointing out an obvious game mechanic, one that stands up to scrutiny, have to do with motives? What motive do you think inh would have? To win? Because "the plan" does that, it makes him (and many other people) win. I real...

Did SVS say she was an animal?

are metalmarshes' self-votes an admission that they are an animal, or just an admission that they are trying to ruin the game for the rest of us? I would assume that only people interested in winning would want to play mafia (if they are sane unlike voopy), so one would only put themselves up for de...

vomps is at least 5 years overdue on psychiatric help

So the important question we are all forgetting about, here... Do we get to eat sockalex now?

Also I'm not going to be home from work in time for the poll tomorrow so I'm going to go ahead and vote MP now

To emphasize an important point, MP offering himself for lynch means that he only has a chance of achieving win conditions if he is an animal. So there is literally no reason for him to sacrifice himself if he is not an animal, ergo I think it's safe to assume MP is an animal. (well maybe if he got ...

k well I'm going to vote By This River as per my previous reasoning

Pacifist mafia game would be a nice change from me antagonizing everybody like a paranoid schizophrenic.

Anyway, you can always lurk around with us as ghost/zombie sockface

A moste noble socke thou art.

No lynch yet though, so, where are we going?

a non-mafia game for a non-musician http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley23.gif That would be oddly satisfying, and likely a very unique game. Truthfully, we can always abandon that strategy if an unexpected kill throws the plan off, so it hurts nothing to start off trying this out....

(sorry triple post) I shouldn't say "can't win," but aren't guaranteed to win

Also, problem with the plan is that if even 1 non-animal accidentally dies (whether via lynch, nk, host event deedly, etc) then the animals can't win. Might make them reluctant to cooperate and out themselves.

It's technically not unfriendly for them to eat us, no, you are correct. I still would rather not try my luck as food

Likewise :) Where to go...

If you still need somebody by tomorrow (not sure of count now) sign me up.

All my old pictures here seem to have been eaten by the internet, so here is a more recent one

It'll probably depend on whether or not I can get away with cruising this site while I'm at work (suspicious whisling smiley)

hey bumble bea

Put me down as a maybe/replacement as I'm not sure yet whether I can invest the time

rip ambient trinity

I may or may not be back

hello

That would be good too

Beer is good. So is Scotch. Bourbon is too sweet, I usually prefer rye.
