The Syndicate

It seems sort of weird to be OK voting for Sabie when MR also voted someone without explanation, but I believe at least MR posted he was voting, and obviously was first -- whereas Sabie hasn't even posted why she voted MR, and the timing of her vote is what makes it suspicious IMO, as if it was an easy way to get out of having to explain a vote.

Still waiting on her response, or I will vote her.

My thoughts exactly. Like, literally just thought that.

You know what they say... Great minds think alike!!!

But so do stupid ones.

It seems that way, yes. I don't know if he's played on other sites but I don't think he has.

I wish he would have gave a reason for his self vote.

18

It was an accident. Sorry, I've never done this before

Who would you vote for? Any ideas? And how familiar are you with mafia (played online? party version? neither?)?

39

I have no clue. I've played mafia once.

Was it on a site like this or in person, out of curiosity?

Do you have any questions about how the game works or are you following alright?

Same here. I'm willing to give her the BOTD for at least another 5 or 10 minutes, but if she doesn't say anything, I would bet that's where I'm voting.

43

Man, what a weird day. All these strange votes!!! And yet at the same time nothing crazy suspicious.

42

That is, unless she can explain why she voted MR in a satisfactory manner. Because it seems like a way to bandwagon onto an easy vote to me.

20

Agreed, it's especially bothering me that she hasn't explained it.

I might vote Sabie to be honest.

She's a talented baker (but not as good as Eloh), she's funny (but not as funny as Eloh), she's pretty (but not as pretty as Eloh), she puts up with my bullshit (but not as much as Eloh), and she teaches British literature (okay Eloh blows at that one).

Not voting either of those ladies.

19

LOL.

Why are you not voting for them? And which knocker seems most suspicious or are you unsure?

Seems both SVS and sabie voted MR.

Welcome kpence. I hope you enjoy your time at The Syndicate!

15

This is hilarious and makes you sound like you have multiple personalities.

So have you found anything suspicious?

33

What does Epig have to say about MR? And why hasn't he explained which knocker he finds most suspicious (or did I miss this)?

32

Bass_the_Clever wrote:Yea I really don't want to go random but thats what I'm doing because there is nothing really for me to go on.

14

I understand completely. I almost NEVER randomize. I might though. I'm hoping something comes up, but I'm doubtful.

The benefit to the votes being all so late and seemingly unpredictable is that baddies really have no way of attempting to actually coordinate saving any teammates.

I hate randomizing... but I'm almost tempted to do it here, honestly. I'm just at a loss.

26

I've re-read this thread three or four times today and the only remotely suspicious thing is that vote (if I'm going to give kpence the benefit of the doubt, which I am right now). But you make a good point about doing something that weird on Day 1 - rather risky for a baddie so early. Gahhhhh I just want an explanation!

17

Yeah, I understand this conundrum completely.

30

Bass_the_Clever wrote:I know I have seen people vote for someone on day one as a joke is there any chance that is what MR was doing ?

13

Good question... there's really no way of knowing though, looking at his post. It just seems so weird he wouldn't explain. I just can't see a baddie doing that. I don't know.

29

I suppose I could vote for a non-voter... but that would only leave Canuck if I don't want to vote newbies. And I don't really know how missing the vote would give better chances of nailing a baddie...

Man, usually I have at least something to extrapolate by now, even in small games, but IDK. There's just nothing really.

26

I'm not sure about the vote for MR... Why would a baddie just vote someone with no explanation?

But that being said, I really don't know what to do instead.

25

So a quick re-read reveals nothing suspicious. Bah.

24

I am attempting redemption.

23

We are running out of time. ALmost caught up with my re-read skimming right now

I believe it was Canuck.

MovingPictures07 wrote:What do you mean by "weird votes"?

18

The ones I mentioned that you also mentioned: MR's unexplained vote for Epi and kpence's self vote. It's the only thing remotely suspicious to me so far, and I'm def giving time for them to give an explanation before making any rash decisions.

11

But kpence is totally new so maybe he didn't understand the poll? Why would you consider a vote there?

And then would you be voting for MR or Epi? I assume the former because it was unexplained?

20

Good question, Bass. Honestly, I have no idea at the moment, but as I explained to Epig before, if I was forced to vote for a knocker it would be Elo just based on the fact that she seems least likely to be Colonel Mustard out of that group, but that's a terrible reason to vote for someone... I'd almost rather randomize.

Let me do a quick scan of the thread again and get back to you.

19

What do you mean by "weird votes"?

18

Any ideas, SVS?

17

Keep dreaming, blooper!

16

Wow, awesome!!! We're in the lead!

Woah, weird that kpence voted himself... and I don't get why MR voted Epi either. Odd.

15

I'm going to assume this was directed at me!!

Hmmmm... good question. It's really hard to tell with what little has gone on so far, but we do know that a civvie would have known what the poll was about, right? So, under that assumption, I doubt that person would have voted early... so I suppose Elohcin?

I know that's not amazing reasoning, but it seems logical based on eliminating someone at least from being that one role... since I don't really have any reads on anyone yet.

How about you?

Hello there! Glad to be playing the game with you!

The numbers are associated with a contest we were given based on who voted what in the Day 0 poll.

Yes, sorry about failing, I still feel terrible about that.

And no, Epig, we are not on a team, unless Boogs is a civvie, and unless you count "Bell Ringers" as a team.

Well, I guess we weren't likely to win anyway, but there's no point in giving up.

This is why I generally don't participate in these kinds of contests.

Oops. Dammit. Sorry guys.

14

Then, if you would like to place you weight on that last scenario, you are welcome to do so, and vote one of the two who missed the vote. Is that what you would like to do? If not, then how is my thinking flawed?

16

I didn't say it IS flawed; I just said it could be flawed, you could be incorrect. Given what little we know at this stage in the game, I don't see anything particularly illogical with your theory, though I doubt I'll be using it to cast my vote.

15

I'm curious what kpence and kevin have to say!

No. I am saying you ask empty questions, and empty questions make me want to vote for the asking party.

It's not an empty question if you don't know the answer.

My only point was that it could throw a wrench into your analysis.

Yes. The man with info on the poll is not bad, so we know the killers have no info on the poll. I think it is now no secret the purpose of this poll. Therefore, I think the killers would have spread out. Examining the group that voted the same way I did is my way of narrowing my focus (and, of course, exempting myself).

Seems pretty logical to me. What about the non-voters though?
