The Syndicate

Sweet!

Snowy, when you and Kate and I were in that last auxiliary chat group, and you asked who should get the +1 vote, and I suggested BWT, and you said "But Kate thinks he's civ", I felt truly bad. Part of me just wanted to say "But we're all three of us on the baddie team! Run! Run for your life!"

Thank you for the game S~V~S! It was fun! And thank you for all the players making it so.

OK, it was between llamaguy and F'n High for me. But not everybody who I was thinking was civilian could have been recruited, so not all of them can be trying to mislead me with a FH vote. I think it's high time we civs grouped together and worked as a team. *votes FH*

Yes, yay for discussion. Also watching carefully how the voting goes down, as always, might prove fruitful.

I was pretty sure that llama guy was one of the good 'uns all game. Since last night's result, however, I've come to the painful conclusion that at least one of the people I was thinking was for sure civ can't be, and I think it's because of the recruit.

There were a number of things the A-Team posted that I didn't buy into at first, but they all turned out to be accurate - except for their suspicions of llama. I don't know why they'd be wrong in this one instance.

Didn't see that coming, don't know what happened. Don't like it. RIPITWG He-Man and Boo. It seems A-Team was right after all once again - this is suddenly looking very dire for civs.

I know more about these things, as is a good option?

Hopefully, it will survive the night. How to start a witch hunt but normalité.

It is very cheap, but 80% of Alpha chogean?

He wants to Chase or bad weather.

This is hell. Sorry, I see at least two Lynch to, I don't know if Tiger's game.

I am a little discouraged by this recruit business, tbh. I was thinking we were half-way there. And Rusty is right, people I've been thinking were mos def civ are now question marks.

Anyway, I'm voting WHen Doves Cry b/c of the four it's the one of the four on my iPod.

I probably should have bolded this before:

S~V~S: Will you tell us if a mafia team has been eliminated?

Well done gang!

Vompatti, I know it's no fun to be in that situation, because I've been in it myself. I thought you fought the good fight though.

I had forgotten about the recruits. I was going to say we only had two left to go, but if both teams recruited and both recruits were successful, there may be as many as four more mafioso out there. We still got work to do.

S~V~S: Will you tell us if a mafia team is eliminated?

I for one will be very surprised if Vomp doesn't flip Ashton.

*votes Vompatti*

Those are the peeps who voted Boo last poll and got MP off the hook. Three are likely to be civ, I think, but one of them is almost certainly MPs partner.

And you're assuming it would be me since I was the last to vote? If I was MP's partner wouldn't it have made more sense to miss the vote and leave it at tie?

Re-reading Vomps, I was struck by this exchange. I never assumed or said anything about assuming it was Vompatti. I never singled anyone out on that list, ever. He is defending himself against an accusation that was never made. Why? Because, I can only think, he knows it might fairly have been made.

Also, no, it wouldn't have made more sense to miss the vote and leave it a tie.

So I'll probably be voting Vomps, I'm almost certain he's Ashton. And, speaking from a personal note, I'll be relieved if we lynchify him as I assume he's already tried to NK me once. I guess I've gone and painted a target on my back.

A-Team gets to vote?!?

And why was rey's directive to post in hebrew in the night post anyway? I do indeed find the whole thing random, and am not sure what to think.

LittleTiger wrote:I agree with The A Team! I voted llama last time and I will probably do so again....

You agree with them?!? Who the heck ARE they?

LittleTiger wrote:Voted Poison.

This sounds funny given how the night post went down.

Vompatti wrote:Really? I'm sure BWT would like you to explain why.

But you wouldn't?

I'm voting Cinderella because I don't know them at all which at least makes them stand out from the others for me.

As for Vomps, both Boo and BWT are on my "almost certainly civ" list so I am willing to go along with them on this.

One down, three to go! (Sorry MP, some day I'll get to see you play civ.) I was wrong about the affiliation but I'm OK with that.

As for his associate, of the four I'm suspecting Kate and Vomp voted for him and He-Man and Rusty Finko voted elsewise, making the latter two more suspect to my way of thinking.

MovingPictures07 wrote:EBWOP: Basically, apparently, Kate, what I'm doing right now as a civvie STILL isn't convincing some people, which boggles my mind.

Either that or Dex is suspicion mongering, I'm not sure which, because I don't know his intentions.

My intentions, good sir, are to see you lynched.

The sequence of events seems pretty clear to me. First you start to try and drum up negative sentiment against Roxy. After civic-minded people come to her defense and turn the tables on you, your - public - opinion of Roxy does a 180 quicker than a politician caught with his pants down. Night falls and, lo and behold, it's Roxy who dies.

I think the musician in you really likes the hits, man.

*votes MP*

I'm going to watch how this vote goes down very carefully, and encourage my fellow civs to do the same.

RIP Roxy. I won't add IYWG because I'm pretty darn sure you were.

MovingPictures07 wrote:And why is it you think I'm mafia again?

I'll just add to the reasoning I've already posted that it appears to me that one of the things you do as mafioso is ask questions to which you already know the answers.

I also suspect that one of He-Man, Kate, Russtifinko, or Vompatti is your teammate.

Russtifinko wrote:Thanks, Snow Dog.

Question to Dex on your post: if MP is mafia, wouldn't it be best to get him first before looking at boo voters? Only 1 of them could be his teammate if he were mafia anyway, so we'd be looking at 1 probable accomplice and 3 civvies in that group.

Yes.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I didn't vote for her, but you're right, I did question her intentions. I don't think Rox is on a baddie team either at this point. Why do you think those that voted Boo are worth looking at? I don't necessarily disagree, I just want to try to better understand your train of thought.

My train of thought is, you're mafia, you were ahead in a lynch vote, peeps voted Boo to get you off the hook.

Roxy wrote:Happy Birthday Snow Dog hope its a great one!

Oh no! The curse! The curse!

I'm going to vote Paper Clip because no one else has and maybe that's the brass ring.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Dex, you really think this makes sense?

I do not think Rox is necessarily baddie; look at her posts in the latter part of today. I think that's what frustrated me even more, coming in to see I had that argument against me and she was leading it, because I'm not getting much of a baddie impression from her anymore.

INH was the top candidate leading into this lynch, he never shows up, and he doesn't get a single vote. Yet you think Rox is on one team and I'm on another? Really?

No I don't. You thought Rox was bad at the time you voted for her. That was before her posts that - seemingly - changed your mind about her. Those same posts also convinced me that she was almost certainly civ. That's why I voted you - b/c I think Rox is civ, and not on either team. I think the same goes for others who voted for you. We were civ saving. Against your charge.

Now, the people that voted Boo to save you = those I think bear looking at.

This has to be the most boring episode of MacGyver ever!

Well, I'm OK with this result as I suspect the hand of Ball of Twine or Mullet in this. It sure looks to me like peeps voted MP to save Roxy, and peeps then voted Boo to save MP.

boo wrote:Well, I do think roxy is civvie, and I do think MP is bad. Of the three she mentioned when I asked her who she was thinking about voting, MP was the one I was already considering for today (INH being my other thought for today).

So, I'm going to go vote MP.

I was also thinking INH today. But now I am also convinced Roxy is civ. Seeing as she and MP are now tied for the lead at two apiece, I'm going to follow suit and vote MP to try and keep my fellow civ alive. It helps that I was wary of MP anyway.

I hope we haven't been suckered, though.
