The Syndicate

I wanted to vote for Badcell but I am too afraid of the in thread ramifications right now.

I am going to vote for cell.

Most of you zebra voters have some explaining to do. Please respond to my concerns at your convenience.

I'm out. Got more database building to do. See you all during Day 2... hopefully.

Linki w/ sig: Hello there! So you were silenced, huh? What are your thoughts on what transpired today?

Fucking hell.

I voted for her because at the time that was my top suspish. I am so sorry Zebra.

Mp, regarding your statement about LA. I can pick up what you are putting down, but I would like some more from her before I get all lynch happy. Okay?

Since it is possible that what we vote during the night can/ will impact someone during the day this is going to make it extra tricky. Especially with several "zany" players to begin with....

*sigh*


Dr Wilgy, I get that you are "zany", but your playstyle is making me want to vote for you.

But I am voting for zebra, I have to go to work and will be at work until 1 am tonight so I am voting now. Their confuzzled demeanor seems fake, and over the top.


Votes Zebra

I don't understand why a number of people are suspecting me. I'll probably vote for DrumBeats today.

Drum, and you think I am skimming?

a2thezebra wrote:Whoa, this is coming out of nowhere!

No.. no it isn't.

I don't know you, so I can't speak to your playstyle but when several people whom I DO know are saying this is not normal, which is matching what my gut is telling me, I am going to listen.

I am reading every post, but the real crux is that I don't understand what is going with the game mechanics itself-- I am still not wanting to run w/Drum's plan (too risky) though at least I understand what you are saying better now than I did when you first posted it.

Matt, I think you and Elo have very different playstyles which can be problematic. I am reminded that you and I do as well, and you were like a damn dog with a bone decrying I was bad for what.. Four Mafia days?? I was not. I do not trust your instincts. So I am not following an Elo vote.

My list of who I suspect right now is not all that clear. So I am going to do a rainbow list like y'all like. In dark colors though, y'all are KILLING my old eyeballs with these neon and bright colors.

Maybe Good:
MP
Matt

No Idea:
Elo
JJJ
Drum
LA
llama
Rey
sig
niju
nero
DF
AATB
agle


Maybe Bad:
Dr Wilgy
Zebra

LA, congrats that is amazing. I am so proud of you!

I just mean that it COULD be more about strategy than it is if people would take it more seriously than they do. And, yeah, I think I trust you so far. I wish more people would talk so I can have the chance to trust more people.

As for The Process, Wiki says this: Cells are a form of The Process. When any type of The Process is destroyed (excepting of course Badcells), Cells are the natural result. They are immobile and do not attack, and are collectable by Red for unknown use. If they are not quickly attended to, they will either turn into Badcells or regenerate to their previous form. They are composed of four floating white metal pieces and a red orb. Cells do not have a Limiter page.

Anyone care to try and interpret what we should do with this info?

Oh geez. So we have a couple of options here, vote Cell to keep them from turning into Badcells or regenerating. Ignore them this lynch and see what happens (not sure I love this plan).

I wish I understood the lingo better. Does Badcell mean Bad as in Evil and Anti Town or something else? It would inform my decisions.

GAH!!! THIS! This is the type of post that is driving me nuts these days. Either be helpful or hush. Matt, you are giving me gray hairs already this game.

And don't take this frustration as a defense of Niju, y'all. Cause I know that's what at least 2 of you are thinking.

I am not, and I share your frustration here.

As for Drums plan, for me, it comes down to this. I have trust issues. Why would we ever expect the mafia to hold up their end? We would basically just be telling them "it is open season, please betray us and kill as many of us as possible". I would like to propose some kind of balance, we have no idea who the Process is, so for the first lynch (and maybe the second) we go about this traditionally. Unless we decide to lynch a Cell, which on the surface looks like a good call, but knowing Epi can be a maybe be a bad idea.

Bah.

I'm not sure what this means though... protect an "element" from all Night actions. Does this mean that these are like semi-independent "parts" of The Process, rather than role abilities?

Oh, I could have explained the process better as well. Basically they're a bunch of robots, and each type of robot does a different thing. Cheerleaders put a protective shield in front of another robot as you're trying to kill them, so that makes sense with the ability revealed. I agree that probably the Process role gets to choose between these abilities. I don't remember what all of them do but they're probably on that wiki.

Ah, interesting! Thanks, that actually makes more sense now, to think of The Process as a "collective". Maybe certain robots can even "die" but protect the role itself from completely dying? Maybe the role has some kind of kill protection.

I am so glad you and LA are here to suss this stuff out.

Oops! I randomized and got Matt!

Indeed it is. She has always been one of my favorite characters.

Why in the world would you do that??

I'm confused at your confusion.

^^This. I am terrible at reading and remembering roles but it is pretty easy to look at the top of the poll where it tells you the time it ends.

thellama73 wrote:All right, I am here and caught. Right off the bat, I feel good about overly-enthusiastic MP. Seems like typical civ behavior from him. I also doubt Drumbeats would have proposed the voteswap if he were bad, so my voting choices are already narrowing down. Come on, other people, give me some more to work with.

I concur about MP. Unsure about Drum.

Whoo hoo! Game!

I am already confused y'all. This might be worse than Dom's Pokemon game which about scarred me for life.

<--------- Not a gamer. I stopped at Pong. Not joking.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Glad that self-voting is effectively banned.

ME. TOO. What a waste of time that is. I have never understood that choice.


I am voting for cheerleaders, hated them in high school. Gives me joy to vote for them now.


Quick note for those who do not know me: My job does not entail a computer, and it does entail a lot of driving all over the state where I live so my Mafia time comes in short bursts. I talk a lot of OT and I have a smiley addiction.
