The Syndicate

Meta is a Greek derived prefix that denotes being outside or beyond something else. Metaphysics deals with concepts beyond the scope of regular physics. In mafia, the metagame involves looking at considerations outside of the framework of the current game, such as how players played in the past.

For that which goes beyond even the meta, the prefix is "pata." See: the works of the absurdist Alfred Jarry and his exploration of pataphysics.

I bear no ill will towards Aapje. I salute his playing.

This is my first time playing an outed baddie. It was fun.

Congrats to the winners! Thanks for the game, BR and LC! I had fun.

But most importantly... I've still NEVER been lynched as a baddie! You had me sweating there at the end that I would break that streak.

And yet he still lives.

Linki @Llama, wow, excuse of cornered baddies everywhere~ Target Redirectors!!!

Occams says she rezzed you. I believe it. id YOU vote for Nutella, Llama?

Occam's razor has led me astray many times in mafia. I don't remember who I voted for.

Devin the Omniscient wrote:The "freakin" was not aimed at you, llama. It's just the frustration of having 1 more vote. Just wanted to clarify

No offense taken, old friend.

I have to do some catch up here, I have only really read the posts and skimmed somewhat, I have had a brutal week irl. But i read enough to know that the confiremed bad rezzer rezzed llama.

Linki, no, i just have one.
You should really vote for Devin. He's the devil.

Devil = Devin. Obvious really.
Are you seriously saying this or is this a joke? You were rezzed by the baddie team rezzer, lol. You're bad, no silly word play required. Devin might be bad too, but it is guaranteed that you are bad, my friend.

You don't know who I was rezzed by. YOu also don't know who the rezzer meant to target, sice there are target redirecting powers in play.

Stop being so evil, Devin.

Bullzeye wrote:Actually Llama, I suppose it'd be fair to say Azura has complete and total control over not only your vote but also your actions?

No comment.

Bullzeye wrote:I highly doubt six people are having their votes controlled. Obviously Llama isn't, clearly he has at least two teammates helping him here.

I might be having my vote controlled, but I refuse to say because I am a good sport.

You can drop the pretense, you're not fooling anyone. A for Effort though.

Obviously I am fooling people, because people think I''m bad when I'm totally not.

How do you figure that llama is unlynchable in 2 different positions?
And why do you think I'm the executioner?

You are so bad. I can't wait to be vindicated on this.

reywaS wrote:which position should I vote for?

Whichever one you like the most.

Your phony outrage is as transparent as the transparent aluminum the crew of the Enterprise used to get the whales back to the future so they could save the world in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Devin, stop pretending to be a good guy. We all know what side your bread is buttered on.

Oh look, I'm alive. You guys are all so mean to me.

Position 5.

Canucklehead wrote:I'm voting for llama. I think the notion of letting a known baddie live another day and, more importantly, another NIGHT, is absurd, and I'm surprised that people are letting themselves be talked into it by a serial killer and a person if unknown allegiance.

It's gotten quiet around here. Everyone retreating ton their BTSC caves?

Let's mind the needless insults, shall we?

Do you admire me?

Hey, uncalled for.

There have been competitions in this game, and competitions usually carry prizes. Maybe I have friends who are good at competitions.

Who says nutella rezzed me? Like, broaden your mind, man.

How can you be sure Ubzargan didn't switch the lynch last time Llama was up? Unless of course you're on that team. He was rezzed by one of Azura's recruits, he's blatantly a baddie.

I think you mean blatantly innocent.

I really don't thnk you guys should lynch me. Metalmarsh is the droid you're looking for.

reywaS wrote:Ok, I have a question about the whole "let's definitely lynch llama tomorrow" thing. I could very well be missing something here, but that's the purpose of the question.

Why is llama the obvious choice to be a team mate of nutella rather than, say, Turnip Head or Bullzeye who were the most vocal advocates for abandoning the idea of lynching nutella in order to get rid of me?
Llama was likely to have been rezzed by LA. Her role had a rez in this position. Do baddies often rezz non-teammates, in your experience?

Linki - I went off the post detailing all living and dead players, which doesn't include failed kill attempts. I literally listed the four names on the dead list described as killed by the Mercenary.

I knew I should have lynched you when I had the chance, you fiend. Stop spreading lies about me. There are other rezzes besides Nutella's. Why is she called LA anyway?

You guys are awfully quick to stick a knife in my back. I'm glad we got nutella. She had me fooled, but if you think I am on her team, you are nuts.
Position 1 seems fine.

Guys, I think Reywas sounds really disingenuous with his dealmaking propositions and his alleged neutrality. It's really making me uncomfortable. I'm moving my vote back to him.

Well, if it's not going to be a tie, I'm going back to MM. I like ties.

Rey is not persuading me, and I like ties (as well as being fairly neutral on Nutella) so let's tie it up, shall we?

Rey's chamioning of neutrality struck me as odd, almost forced. I think he was recruited sometime between this:

reywaS wrote:Ok, I feel like I've caught up enough.

I voted DrWilgy because I don't like the votes on S~V~S and llama. They both feel civ to me, and in fact I agree with S~V~S post on Bullzeye talking about how he's been around plenty but didn't have any solid opinions on anyone. Then bullz got kind of defensive and then maybe went a little overboard trying to make up for his previous lack of opinion. Bullz definitely came off as baddie to me in that exchange.

And this:

reywaS wrote:vote llama

what the hell

His posts have also seemed less substantive since then, like he is trying to hide in the background.

reywaS wrote:I'm not sure what to make of these developments. Epig turns the lynch in nutella's direction and people follow with little resistance. Did you guys trust DH to this extent, or did Epi all on his own convince you he's trustworthy? Not that I necessarily think Epi is bad...just seems weird.

Turnip Head, where you voting?

Okay, I agree with TH that this is some fishy business. Epi's role has been fairly obvious for a while now, so either Rey wasn't paying attention (which I can relate to) or he's up to no good. Not sure which yet. Still reading.

I have to look at Rey now.

Spacedaisy wrote:Two other people who I believe we should be discussing right now are MM and Devin.

MM, the Nutella/bwt lynch was clearly going towards Nutella, then he changed his vote to make it a tie. Then he complained about a tie that he created. I think it wasn't really a tie, I think that the lynch was moved to David to ensure Nutella didn't die. But your vote moving from Nutella to David was done to cover that up. If I was to vote anyone other than Nutella, I would vote you.

Devin. Come on man, you are just phoning it in. You have clearly been latching onto everyone else's suspicions for a while now if not all game, and been as blends as can be. I don't trust you.

I'm with Spacedaisy. MM has been coasting on snark this game while avoiding any serious attention. The more I see of his cavalier play, the more convinced I become that he is a bad, bad man. It doesn't look like an MM lynch is in the cards today, but I urge other people to examine him more closely.

I'm not sketchy. You're sketchy.

I'll have to catch up tonight, guys.

Oh hi guys.

Well, I'm glad I'm not dead. Thanks for believing in me, guys.

Those are not the only options.

Your wisdom does you credit, Scotty.

Great. Thanks for that.

Okay guys, it looks like I am suddenly public enemy number one around here, but I can sassure you, these aren't the droids you're looking for. Metalmarsh is the droids you're looking for. He's so weaselly. If he were any more weaselly, he'd be a weasel instead of a marmot.

I hope Bass and DH replace each other.

Turnip Head wrote:I'm putting my vote on thellama73 for now. Regardless of him being busy and traveling, he hasn't felt like the same Llama that I know and love. He characterized MM as careful and placating, and Llama compared that to his own baddie game, and I think that's exactly how Llama has been playing this game.

I'm voting for Metalmarsh. You should join me.
