The Syndicate

If enough folks are around and can be active for the next 20 minutes (???) or so, we can play a game. Who wants in?

So what are you saying, you want us to vote for you?

What I am saying is the following:

1) I fully expected to die yesterday. The fact that I only received one vote surprised me.
2) The Scotty lynch yesterday STUNK like a bunch of skunks having sex, just like they always did in my uncle's backyard when I was a kid. (that's my attempt to be like Scotty because he has the most amazing analogies, but failing miserably).
3) Daisy is scaring me this game. Her behavior is very illogical. I have a hard time believing she would be a sloppy mafia member, though, which is what gives me pause.
4) However, Boomslang's recent noncommittal post regarding Daisy's behavior is noteworthy if Daisy were to flip mafia, especially if Daisy's been too busy to check into BTSC and plan with her team.
5) I have a reason to believe literally every player this game's behavior during D1 was less sketchy than my own, hence why I voted myself.

I like the analogy, and I agree that it stunk.
Regarding number 5, even if that's so, assuming you know you're a civ, wouldn't voting for yourself hurt the civvie cause which would be enough reason to vote for the next sketchy poster, or at least randomly?

I feel the same about Daisy. But hey, I feel that way every time people suggest someone is bad when they do a sloppy job

I'm assuming that you don't think I deserve a vote? Why?

I agree with that statement. Not ready to lynch her today (I have an overly developed sense of personal guilt), but I am thinking in that direction, as well.

Why not? You gave her D1 at least.

Because I feel like a brand new player needs 3 games, before they realize they love the game and will come back for more. And to also get a grasp. She's one of my closest friends. I have no problem killing her when the time comes, I just need to , personally, give her another day beofre I feel ethically good about doing so.

That's fair enough.

You said earlier you're having trouble discerning who is suspicious. Want to play a game? Maybe FZ. and whoever else is around can play too!

This game is missing a Rainbow List. Who wants one?

FZ., I actually have had a good feeling about Boomslang as well, but if Daisy flips mafia, it'll be hard to ignore Boomslang's vote post, since he literally threw out the textbook mafia member answer right there, and tied the vote by making it 2 for Llama (who inarguably has the second highest propensity to be lynched after Daisy).

LoRab wrote:Could also just ask:

@Hosts: On a baddie team, who holds the kill?

LoRab, to answer your previous inquiry regarding what is typical here, it depends on the host. It seems more common that mafia teams can select the member to carry out the kill, but I've also seen plenty of games where one specific mafia member carries out the kill regardless (Llama tends to do this).

On further review, I think I find llama most suspicious. He was among the Scotty voters without much justification, and he seems to have deliberately misread the role blocking of last night to justify a vote for tinybubbles. I don't know what to make of Daisy's vote yet, and the possibility that MP is the bomb makes me pause before voting for him again. So I'll go ahead and *vote llama*

Boomslang and Daisy, piggy teammate buddies.

Besides, it's not like I've never self-voted before, even though I hate it. I'm a hypocrite. Surely I deserve to die?

I did already state it. My D1 behavior is the sketchiest of anyone here.

I wonder if I can skate through the whole game by voting myself every lynch.

Wow, I'm blown away that I am still alive. Thought that self vote would get me lynched.

I am sad Scotty died since he's a hell of a new addition to our site and has been dying before D2 in almost every game. Bummer.

Elo's vote struck me as most suspicious, but apparently Elo is always suspicious to me regardless of her alignment, so... Not gunning for her at this time

I can't make heads or tails of Daisy this game and it scares me a bit. I don't see the logic in either of her votes. Could be solely because she is distracted by Recruitment though.

Boomslang, I'm totally okay with your D1 vote for me. You said exactly what I almost always say to other self voters, as long as I haven't emotionally imploded and self voted myself (though I try to avoid that these days even though it's only happened a few times). It would have made sense fore to vote someone else but all I knew from what I did read was I didn't feel comfortable voting boo or Russ and despite a small thread I didn't have more than a second to think about my vote because I had a project I suddenly had less time than I thought I did -- my PhD advisor was basically like where is the assignment? And I hadn't finished it yet, so I flipped out and didn't think about my vote. I asked myself super quickly and didn't feel right voting for anyone since I had no idea as of when I had caught up and had not the chance to read more. That's it really.

I have a lot to do today as well, especially now that I'm teaching, so it's very possible I may not be back before the vote ends.

While I find a few Scotty voters suspect, I told myself I want to look at each player's D1 behavior as objectively as possible with the 10 or so minutes that I have now to determine whose behavior is the most sketchy.

I have determined that my own behavior in this game is the most sketchy. Therefore, despite being a civilian, I once again deserve my own vote.

As I've noted in the Recruitment IV thread:

[Expletive deleted] x 9001, something's come up re: PhD and I'll probably be pulling an all-nighter tonight and possibly tomorrow night to get all of this [expletive deleted] done. I'm sorry, folks, but this absolutely has to come first.

I'm going to just go ahead and vote myself. I know this is unlike me, but I'll be lucky enough to get this done even with not sleeping tonight. I'll catch up properly whenever I can, probably Saturday or Sunday.

I know there's practically nothing in this thread but I haven't even read since my last post and can't afford even an extra minute to think about mafia right now.

Lol, I tried to make my comment less uncomfortable by adding the lynch part afterward, yet you cut that out of the post. I'm almost never one to engage in PDA, and neither is Daisy, so I find the comment funny. Nonetheless, that's noted, Made.

What do you think of what's transpired thus far re: boo, Russ, MM, etc.?

LoRab.

She is new. It could be that she hasn't even logged in to see the game.

I won't be voting for boo or Russ.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Maybe I should have voted lipsticklacey. She? hasn't even posted yet.

Is she the only one who hasn't?

Angry Boo

I love you too!

Might lynch you though.

Voted for lipsticklacey because I hear good things and I want to welcome her to our community right!

:Daisy:

I see how it is.

:P

Yay game!

Voted for Daisy.
