The Syndicate

It was a very fun game MP. Now I understand why I didn't understand anything. I never went to a warp zone. I didn't think anything was happening at night at all.

holy carp!!!! I love your avatar. That was the first book I ever bought with my allowance

What's it called when each person votes the name above his own? A round tabłe? Round robin? Singing in rounds? I'm beginning to think its what we need to do if we're ever going to lynch a baddie.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. The very first suspicion I had when I replaced in was INH. But I don't think I ever voted him. Then I got suspicious of everyone else. I think I'll vote INH.

Wow, I hate to vote for someone who has 500 ponies. It seems a travesty of justice somehow. Should I vote Elohcin?

I wondered this myself -- we never found at Nev's role, so I am reallllly wondering if he was Gloria Swanson.

you crazy kids make me laugh!

Devin- I dunno. If it goes by how many lives you have still, which someone said yesterday, then I'm good. But if the landscape has changed and diff rules apply, then maybe not.

I truly don't get this game, I've just been going through the motions each day in the hopes of one day understanding what I got myself into.

I hate to see this day wasted. Even if everyone including myself votes me, I still won't die today. What manner of strange mafia behavior is this? How can the remaining civvies manage to kill a baddie for a change?

I'm not sure who is good besides myself.

whatever happened to the mongoose susp? If she is fetus, and defeated, can she be lynched now?

I think my vote is going to elohcin, Russti, or mongoose today.

Well crap. I thought when fetus got caught up with, that lynches would be regular after that. Of maybe I never quite understood how it works.

that's probably the answer.

Hmmm so yesterday a person had the most votes, but the lynch got switched to hedgeowl. So why would anyone not think a person was bad? Voted

How many votes has AP had this game? Yeees I'm too lazy to look for myself.

Mongoose wrote:I rubbed lotion into my eye. I blame Russti.

That's pretty convincing. I'll vote Russti.

Aaaannnd I still don't get it. Ok my vote is up for grabs. Whoever sounds most convincing, I'll vote that way.

Ok so who's bad up in here?

Oh, I see. Thank you much!

Yikes! What does the challenge consist of?

Happy thanksgiving tomorrow! Happy cooking today!

Are you saying that you think it makes them sound bad? I was thinking maybe the opposite
Not at all!!! I just think that it's a recurring theme this game!

I'm open to anything at this point. I'm at my wit's end

I'm thinking that baddies can vote each other and 'suspect' each other without it being too risky. But to defend each other for most of the game? That would be risky. I think I need to look at some other peoples.

happy and safe holiday mongoose!

My apologies Russti. In my read back earlier today, I overlapped a post about elo and hedge, and I thought it was hedge that you were questioning. So now I see that you have defended hedge all game.

mongoose, this would be so much easier if you would just tell us who your team is.

I voted. I might as well have said eeney-meeny-miney-mo though.

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.

I haven't even voted you yet. But your post wasnt exactly inspiring.

I still don't have a clue. I thought when russtifinko and llama both mistrusted hedge earlier in game, and then they changed their minds about her, that maybe she was good. But she has the most votes so far. So maybe I am wrong. Which is not surprising. I'll probably follow the majority-think, because I got nothin.

Yes it helps. Thank you MP.

I have an 'its a bit late in the game to be asking' question. If meat boy finds bondage girl, something will change with the fetus. But if anyone else finds her, would we know?

I'm making one last effort to understand what's going on and how players can even translate things, so it would possibly help me get why players have changed their minds about other players.

I'll be 59 and 1/2 in February

Could you kindly rephrase the querstion? I don't understand it in its current form. Thank you dear.
I'm not quite sure how rephrase this one, tbh, but I will certainly try... Well, you have been especially quiet throughout this whole game. Something that just seems completely out of character for you. I'm used to the Matahari who throws out lots of decent theories regarding her suspicions, and who readily voices support or otherwise for other theories that are put into play. I just haven't seen that this game. And then suddenly here we are in Chapter 5 and you throw out this list of 4 people for the baddie team?? Is that a desperate baddie I'm seeing?... Or what?
Devin, we have played together, twice? If its more than that, I've forgotten. But to be clear, I'm usually always quiet in the games at the syndicate. So who is giving you this info about my play style on other sites?

Now, if I start to feel like I have a grip on the game, and actually have something on someone, I will venture more than a theory. Like I'm thinking I should revise my list now, because you seem to have a teammate, sweetheart.
Love the use of the fishslap But, umm, no... I'm thinking of Bioshock specifically where you ended up being my biggest rival in the end. Unless I'm misremembering, you were relatively vocal in that game (although you did end up being a baddie...).

And I comletely forgot that you played on other sites and would have been willing to chalk it up to "Busy IRL" If you're in another game right now (or multiples) that would definitely help explain your quietness here. But I am used to seeing something mentioned about your spreadsheets and what your spreadsheet was telling you about baddies/suspicions. I haven't seen anything like that mentioned here.

I play from a phone, so I don't keep actual spreadsheets. Just written notes and photos. Yes, I'm in a huge time consuming game at rm, but I actually understand things in that game. This game is not sinking into my brain, when I subbed in, I noticed a ton of jokey posts, and friendliness all around- shame on you people for being so nice!

I really have no idea at all about who is actually bad, or I would attempt an actual case. All I have are pings. My goal in this game was to be sure I post at least once or twice a day, send in my levels, and not not miss votes. But I probably should add understanding what's happening to my goal, but that might be an unattainable goal, ya know?

Elohcin wrote:Okay, since you mentioned me, and you are wrong, I was going to say Lizzy, llama, mongoose, and ?.

Would hedge fit the question mark?

Ok, so baddie team = mongoose, llama, hedge, and elohcin? Anyone placing bets? Anyone want to alter my list?

I think that llama backing off Hedge for a not very convincing reason tells a lot. DP probably was bad after all. But I can't bring myself to vote for someone who just replaced in, I'll wait until tomorrow to do that.

For now I'm going to vote BWT, because he has seemed very distant all game.

I'll stick with boomslang.

Didn't someone else self vote this game? What's with the self voting? Isn't that like saying "hi I'm dr fetus', vote me. "

Should llama's suspicion of Hedgeowl be discussed? I didn't take it seriously at the time because llama always sounds like he's joking around. But maybe I'll do some rereading now-

Uhhh, linki

i agree with you MR, about Eloh's posting style. She makes the most honest posts I've seen in mafia in a long time, no matter what her affiliation might be. Sometimes they make me laugh because I wish I had said it. This may turn into a mafia strength for her in time.

I went with boomslang, because I think he might be bad, but I also don't feel so good about A Person.

3) Mongoose = Dr. Fetus?

I was going to say #1 myself. But I am not sure we can jump right to the conclusion that Mongoose = Dr. Fetus. There are other players who are not very active. However, even if Dr. Fetus does not hide during the next night period, I don't think we can let Mongoose off the hook either. If she is Dr. F, she might not hide to try and fool us.

I agree.

Hi mongoose!

Im going to vote jigsaw, because the love/hate rest going on between devin, llama, and jigsaw is odd for lack of a better word. Also because I still don't know my ass from first base in this game. Votes jigsaw

Something I don't understand, Lizzy- (maybe its a video game thing) wasn't nev killed by chad? Does chad kill members of his own team?

MR, so basically, none of us are in danger of being lynched right away, so it's a good time to bandwagon the few that the majority is most suspicious of- is this what you're saying? It would keep civs alive longer, but then, we might be mistaken about who we are susp of. I don't know, did I understand your meaning?

Why not level 2? Do you have something against it being randomized?
Your inference is unfounded. I never said I had any objection. I am just trying to understand the thought process behind such a decision.

Really? Did you truly have a burning desire to understand the workings of the mind of someone who randomizes?

I'm going to have to vote tonight, doubtful I'll be up in the morning to vote before poll ends. And still kind of ill-prepared to make a confident vote. I would like to hear more from jigsaw about why he is sure devin is dr fetus.

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to make a decision based on trite reasons, so I'll go with the 'trickiness' factor and vote Llama. He has been playing the advance and retreat game a lot, and then he questioned someone about why they chose level two, when the person said pretty clearly that they randomized level two. He tries to start things and then backs away when called on it. I can't understand why a civvie would start something and then not follow through- makes it seem false from the get-go.

I've been reading along today, in observation mode, hoping I'd get a better understanding but it hasn't happened yet

I get the game better but don't really have a clue yet about who is good and bad. I think jigsaw and devin are up to something, and INH and llama are too. Can't decide which is the good one/bad one though.

What did Jigsaw mean when he said he was successful with his level choice?
I can understand that choice. I just haven't decided what I think is the most helpful yet.

Jiggy picked level 2 and that's where we found Dr. Fetus. I believe INH actually picked level two that same night.

Well, that sounds like a plus for going public-

Devin the Omniscient wrote:Welcome Mata!! I agree with you on not doubling up on which levels we choose to search. We should definitely spread out and cover more ground imo!
Super busy today but I will select level 9! Please let me know if anyone else has selected this yet!
I'm also very creeped out by the hospital that looks like a graveyard

Devin, I either sounded my usual unclear self, or you misunderstood me. I don't advocate doubling up or not doubling up; I just thought it was kind of odd that not doubling up was encouraged, but a few did it anyway. Or said they did, it could have just been a cover up to trick dr f. I don't really know. But it struck me because it also was a good way for dr f to avoid detection. If dr f chose a square, and one of his teammates chose the same square, it would be unlikely that a third player would also choose that square.

Anyway, it's just one of those little things that struck me as I was reading through. And it could mean nothing. I'll probably have to read through again for the game to sink in a little better.
