The Syndicate

In my mind, the obvious reason for a fake kill on juliets would be for her team to remove suspicion of her as a baddie. I'm honestly surprised people haven't brought that up before, unless they think it's too bold of a move.

So happy to be in Meat Boy, lol. Is my home turf. FH, you point out some interesting differences in the night posts, but should we really be reading that much into them? Seems just like a creative range of expression on the part of the host. Unless these differences have actually meant something bef...

Shit, I knew I should have voted before going out for the evening. For the record, I would have voted Vomps. I throw myself on the mercy of the almighty Sock.

That is an interesting claim you appear to be not quite making there.

Seconded. This is extremely waffley.

Voted for gleam because I don't think he'd mind being lynched if you know what I mean. Also, if you read back and consider all the facts that have been presented, you will find that I'm probably a civvie. What facts? Literally all you've given us this game is that you're "a conformist," y...

I really do not see the arguments for voting Llama. I see generally helpful participation and a spat against DH that turned ugly relatively fast. That being said, I doubt the poll is going to change much before the deadline. I haven't had too much time to get in depth with the thread, so I'm going t...

Loads of back-and-forth between Sherlock and DH, as far as I can tell, and little else of interest; please correct me if I'm wrong. Going to watch the Grammys for Paul and Ringo, so I'm mostly just posting to show off my brand-spanking new signature.

Dammit, RIP DP. Still unchampionlike behavior, but that role was one of my favorites. In terms of rezzes, Lizzy is the obvious choice in the first group. I have a good feeling about SVS, and although I'm not as sure about FH, at the very least that rezz puts whoever's playing the Piranha Plant a ste...

Least champion-like thing I've read all game, lol. I'll be busy during the end of poll, so going ahead and voting for DP.

Sorry for more big posts. Just musing for now. I also think it's weird the modkill last night didn't even to deflect to the person with the second most votes. Dom was on the poll, but got no votes. Unless MP has a beef with Dom (which I very much doubt), it got deflected to a random player on the p...

Would that night poll count as an NK? The only thing that worries me is he could be: • Trusty John - [Grimm's Fairy Tales] – Is always valiant and has the Kingdom's best interest at heart. The first time he is targeted for a NK, he will survive and there will be two days in a row. The second time h...

Yeah, I'm going to go DP as well. The more I think about it, the Sockgate incident is likely behind our host and BDH, so voting that way would be fun but probably pointless.

is there anything really left to say? DP already has the majority of the votes. It'd take a miracle to save him at this point (cuz from what I've read I don't see an ability to stop lynches that occur at night). We don't know that this is definitely a lynch. I understood it as DP will receive some ...

Congrats, team! You did a hell of a job being better than me, and I'm honored to have died in the victory.

Damn. RIP Lizzy; good to see my suspicions of civility were right, but alas, you weren't the right civ. Thematically appropriate that Moriarty would bring you down, though.

Although DP is the obvious choice, I can't help but want to vote for BDH... seems like it'd score some brownie points from Sock.

I got you Russ. I was having supper. All I am saying is this: There is information on deck that may be true, and if true, will produce dire consequences if not handled. It's a risk-reward thing: If the information is false and Lizzy gets lynched, then one person has suffered, and that someone may y...

Any champion, that is. ...and what BETTER way to prove one's championness than to willingly suffer a punishment to demonstrate you can overcome ANY adversity during a game! being that this day has done more to reveal helpful players (and possible helpful civs) and less to reveal potential baddies, ...

Ok, word puzzles I can get, but this numerology is going straight over my head. I'm sure it's quite clever, oh Socked One :P I think there are enough named choices that we won't have to take the mystery date, as it were.

Linki: If the sock fits...

Alright, so the numbers now mean something, and apparently it's not something obvious. My first guess would be that those who chose the numbers get assigned the numbers, but that seems too easy.

such code much cypher wow Hey, that's my doge meme :P. But I'm impressed by the sleuthing that's gone on here. It seems that trying to nail anyone but the first few posters for sure is going to be nearly impossible, as anyone in the lower range could just spam to bump post count and change position...

Got it! Caesar cipher with "O" reveals "SOMEONE QUOTE THIS AND TELL ME A NUMBER." So Sock, here's either "A NUMBER" or, let's say, "42."

This host insanity looks to me a lot like a simple substitution cipher. There are repeated patterns and words in some of the longer posts, and it's obviously not using a database of real words like most of the scrambling I've seen. What remains to be seen is if Sock is using the same cipher for ever...

Hmmm...that's an interesting point Dom. I do want to make this clear though, I do not think that voting for you is a bad idea, I just think that Boomslang is being a hypocrite. :) It's true, I voted for bea after many others had done so. However, I feel that the bea voters (including myself) all in...

I'm not getting the Elo bandwagon either. And I was going to vote Lizzy, but then she up and voted for the sexy mofo, which is confusing as all hell. Maybe I should just self-vote in this case... People who are thinking bea, can you point to anything in particular that gives you good vibes?

We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting Till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World The man just keeps up the appropriately ominous lyrics...

I spent most of last night recording bass with my band, so my apologies for not contributing as much as I could have. Didn't drink sangria in the park, but did have a number of delicious beers in a basement! Now we're all weekenders on our own. I agree that BWT has been consistently cross-examining ...

I blame Epi for this nonsense. RIPIYWG S~V~S. So...can we lynch Media now or what? Any other ideas? Just a perfect day drink Sangria in the park And then later when it gets dark, we go home I honestly don't understand how Epig is getting off so easy for that crazy number of mentions. We had reasona...

Seems like it was just a perfect day for the Manipulators this time... RIPIYWG SVS. It's such fun to say "By the Power of Greyskull," though! Really, everyone has a lack of information regarding where these powers came from. I just want to point out, though, that with so many people actual...

I have been thinking more about the VAL voting bloc and with all this talk of indies I realized that is basically what VAL becomes every game. They are essentially playing as an indie team in every game. Now indy leader Lizzy may or may not be working to find baddies as a civ or pretending to as a ...

OH IT'S JUST A PERFECT DAY! I'M GLAD I SPENT IT WITH YOU! OH, SUCH A PERFECT DAY! YOU JUST KEEP ME HANGING ON! YOU JUST KEEP ME HANGING ON! I gotta say, this post coming right after the lynch post is just perfect. Well played. In honor, have a doge meme. http://swordofscience.files.wordpress.com/20...

I think I'll go ahead and vote for Vomps. The low posting isn't unusual, but AP's comment on going after Vomps and Lizzy voters was very pingy to me.

All those who vote for Lizzy or Vomps do so at the risk of being voted for by me. :noble: Excuse me if I'm missing something, but what exactly has Vomps done to merit this kind of protection? As far as I can tell, dude's made two posts and voted without explaining anything. Which is par for the cou...

I never saw the scan of the Piano games. There's probably a very good reason for that. I've never seen a bright green elephant riding a unicycle in an ice rink. Colorful metaphor aside, this is probably the most damning evidence against a certain sexy mofo. Just presenting some of the source data w...

So...are you suggesting we NOT lynch him, Mongoose? I am not suggesting that at all, so I am glad you asked. I will keep an open mind tomorrow, but that's where I'm leaning so far. But it popped in my little ferret brain and I thought I should bring it up in case others found it feasible BTW all: I...

Listen, this is my Day 1 proposal: We all choose someone to vote for who seems bad, and then we vote for that person. Can we manage that much? Oh you. Coming out with a statement that is at once both eminently reasonable and completely worthless. If INH's program is an actual thing, I'm going to ag...

Omg omg omg, I totally forgot about 'B is for Baddie'. Who came up with that Tango Malarkey, was it Logan? Seems like the kind of whacky idea he'd come up with doesn't it? I don't actually remember. I just looked into the Bioshock thread to check but apparently every word in 'B is for Baddie' is to...

Ah, the greatest mafiosio in the greatest game... for glory!

Dude almost killed a guy with a trident. He should probably lay low a while. But being targeted for a civ kill is pretty strong evidence, and I will join the vote for CBK

Being completely open and honest: I missed the lynch, because last night was New Year's Eve and I was unreasonably intoxicated. Doing catchup today.

I smell a deflection with Hedge (and Epig) voting for me. Votes Hedge I really do not like this vote. I am not sure I trust Hedgie but this vote is way to fast and without real effort. Absolutely seconded. This whole thing smells very fishy to me, especially after Hedge made a legitimate contributi...

back in the day, no one sent in their PMs until the very end of the night, and it was considered a baddie move to call people out at night. It was more likely to get the innocent NKed. Perhaps that is why at some forums they do not talk at night at all. I am old school that way i guess. No one talk...

Further post review shows that Lizzy was definitely under suspicion by FZ before the NK, which only heightens my suspicions. I believe I will throw my vote that way, and I encourage others to do the same. Really? You think the SK would be so obvious? I would think it wouldnt be a smart move to kill...

As I've posted before, the other behavior consisted of being really blendy (in a self-conscious, self-deprecating style) and dropping hints about being indie. For example: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=268&p=44723#p44723 "I'll try to fly under radar and hope no-o...

Heh, I added an avatar for you, MR. It seemed appropriate for Mafia. Also, excuse me for thinking that Christmas would have slowed down the pace of the game!
