The Syndicate

Hey guys, if BOB doesn't want me, can I join the VAL alliance? Think of all the acronyms! IVAL, VAIL, VIAL, VALI, the possibilities are endless!

Once this game is over, I'm going to go back and make a list of all of my aliases.

I actually am no longer worried about you. The baddie teams will NK you as soon as we stop voting for you.

Really, you think that?

So, all night actions should be randomized. That'll be fun.

I for one, never feel like I'm in a position to criticize a host being late.

This is like a Looney Tunes cartoon, when Elmer Fudd sets up a really obvious fake set up to catch Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny just sees right through it and ignores it.

She would try to screw over Zodac if she had any chance at all. To any indies out there, don't trust her. And BOB, you have my number. Call me....

SVS is so pro-indie, she would never doing something like act diplomatic and friendly until I'm out, and then back to regular indie hunter SVS.

That would be nice,

S~V~S, friend to indies everywhere.

I have nothing against Zodac, and if he wishes to contact me, I will do everything in my power to help him.

Well, well, don't we have a dilemma here? Vote for me, and then Mr. Zodac siphons the votes. Don't, and I get to

another day. What ever shall you do?

Tell the old prick you have Mafia to Host. Invite him to join. Then he'd understand.

Seeing that for the last day I've just been posting Lou Reed lyrics and doing this:

all over the thread, I'm not sure that's a great idea.

That's all I've got, I've only heard it in the context of that commercial where the combatants are singing it to each other, indicating the combat makes a perfect day (at least that's how I interpret the commercial).
Mmmmm... No.

Two best friends playing all new games together/against each other on their brand new PS4s is what makes it a perfect day.
Notice that it's the same 2 guys in each of the video game scenarios
It was an interpretation.

And that song is also a popular song with support groups for families of people with terminal illness. It's about living life to the fullest while you can, a good lesson for all of us.

Really? I always thought that it was a very dark, and sarcastic song. The whole instrumentation, (Except for the chorus) is slow, and a bit sad. And then there's these lyrics.

I thought I was
someone else, someone good

And of course this repeated four times at the end of the song.

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Very ominous.

Please stop twisting my words for what, sympathy? Or maybe your angle is: Hey, INH doesn't like me, that must mean I'm good, rite guys!?!

S~V~S wrote:Whatever.

You called me stupid; I am not talking to you

Also @Aces~ lets not cast stones. Lots of people said it. That Guy is blaming Epig, I don;t think we need to.

I didn't call you stupid, I said that your disposition towards indie role's was.

The thing is, I was ready to be on your side, and help catch baddies. And then S~V~S started to rail against indie roles. Blame her, not me.

This does not bode well.
So he's got a machine, right?

And it studies all the words we use in all the websites we play Mafia on to determine who is bad.

Never mind that we only played two Mafia games on Prog Archives in like 2009.

And never mind that many of us use different usernames across different sites.

And never mind that people as players change over time.

And never mind that words have different contexts depending on how they are used.

And never mind that his data sample is ludicrously small for such a project.

And never mind that shit Nev said that was over my head.

And never mind that Mr. Supercomputer should know that I'm a DUDE.

Don't let a liar ruin your evening.

Just a perfect day, feed animals in the zoo. Then later, a movie, too, and then home.

Just a perfect day, drank Sangria in the park. And then later, when it gets dark, we go home.

Her immediate and unapologetic "sure lets try it out." read too much like "I've got nothing to hide, see everyone!?! I'm civ 3 lfe". It read to me that she freaked out, thought Media really did have a magic program that reveals baddies, and decided to support him hoping it would make her look less suspicious. It had the exact opposite effect.
Actually, I want everyone who voted for INH to blow up and... I'd like to be recruited by Bob k. Mr Bob sir, where can I send my application?

Mr. Bob sir, I'd be fine with bleaching my hair.

Seriously guys?

I really didn't mean to offend anyone, especially S~V~S. S~V~S is a cool, nice, smart lady, it's just I feel like condemning each and every indie role even though they may have a win condition that would let them win with the civs, or powers that could help defeat the baddies I feel like that's incredibly short sighted and a bit dumb.

Linki@ Dom. I don't know what to make of Lizzy, tbh.
Once again, I'm not Media. Also, MP has to change these roles in order to make this a balanced game. He probably changed the effects of the conditions. So, no, you don't know what it does.

Also, it was changed from a baddie to a indie, so maybe the win condition is separate from the civvie or baddie one? Just speculating.
This post makes me feel like you probably ARE Media, and I will likely vote for you today, given this suspicion.

I get what you are saying, talking repeatedly about a program that likely does not exist does not help us narrow down suspects for the vote. However, I don't feel as much aggravation over it as you do. I don't think you are suspicious for wanting to move conversation elsewhere though, as apparently others seem to think.

I'm probably voting for INH today, because if he is Media, I think he could be potentially dangerous to keep around. And if he is telling the truth, well he can play with his program from beyond the grave to test it out. More power to him.

Question: what happens when you out the winners from a years worth of games into one game?

Answer: absolute insanity and much hilarity. I love this.
I agree, Daisy, I was pretty undecided on what I thought he was up to until I read the quote that I made HUGE, above. Why say "you" don't know what the role does and not "we" (including himself)? To me, that says, he knows what the role secrets are but the rest of us don't. The only way I can see that he would know, is if he is that role. Additionally, he can't know that SVS does not know the role secrets for sure, unless he knows FOR SURE that the secrets were changed.

Are you really going to lynch me because instead of "we", I said "you"?

S~V~S, I really thought that you would know better then that. That's the most stupid thing I've read in the whole thread. In fact, it's so stupid, it's really making me question your allegiances. Usual smart S~V~S would never say something like that. Once again, why are we focusing so much on Media? You know, instead of BOB, or the actual Baddies! Me being framed for an unimportant indie role, and that all of a sudden making me Public Enemy No. 1 is weirding me out. Someone wants to shift focus from BOB, or the Baddies, and a lot of other people are happy to oblige.
I don't think you're Media (or necessarily even bad), but it's kinda harsh to call people idiotic or stupid for thinking it. SVS distrusting indies is actually pretty standard for her in my view. Pretty sure she didn't shed any tears after we lynched fairly neutral Llama in Shawshank. Personally I'd rather be looking for baddies than indies/neutrals in any case. If they can win with civs they're no threat, but if the thread turns against them why would they want to?

I think that S~V~S is a very smart and intelligent lady, which is why her saying something as stupid as that makes me very suspicious.
It's an opinion she has consistently held for at least as long as I've been playing. Consistency is suspicious?

I've never seen her do it before, but maybe I'm just an idiot.

So, the name from the program is Dom. Once again, this isn't by any means a 100% decision. In fact, Day 1 is the day most likely for the Program to be incorrect, due to the small sample size. I'll be able to narrow it down more and more as the game goes on. I'm voting for Dom, but I wouldn't mind if I'm the only one, just to be safe in case of BOB.
