The Syndicate

Win or lose, either way I really enjoyed this game. I worked very hard in it but gave up on this last lynch. I knew I wasn't changing any minds.

Congratulations civvies. For the record, I did see the case on TH I just had to try to keep him alive.

Has Signore Rapa Testa even posted today? Hmmm.

Do you think sharing opinions makes one a civvie, regardless of what those opinions are?

And what is your opinion on what FZ has said about Senor Rapa Testa since the beginning of the game?

Of course the actual opinion matters

And, you keep saying Senor Mala Testa. I'm not trying to be condescending, but it is Signore Rapa Testa. I just don't know if you are piling votes on yourself by saying it wrong over and over :/

I've got to cast my vote on FZ to make sure we can win this game. I will be busy tomorrow again at the convention, so that's what I am going with. I will try to check in to see if anything changes, but not likely.

I'd like to see someone follow follow you. Not.
I get the feeling you haven't read anything I've written written in the last few days, and I don't like how you're set in your mind. I don't think going after after me as a baddie would make much sense for you, so you're either a very misguided civvie or an independent role.

I also find it weird that Elo doesn't see anything wrong with with Signore Rapa Testa.I would understand deciding to vote for someone else because that person seemed more suspicious, but completely ignoring how Signore Rapa Testa is playing this game is just just baffling me. This is true for both her and Boogs, so I can see the two of them possibly possibly being maintenance.

Actually that's exactly what I said. I said I found mongoose "more suspicious".

Oh, and I really hope more people come in and join this discussion tomorrow. Don't wait til the last two hours people

Okay...I am pretty confident that MP is civvie As for Signore Rapa Testa...he has contributed more than mongoose.

Sounds that way. That's not what I was expecting at all; it's a bit unorthodox. Awesome though.

Well, you know where I think your vote should go. Personally, I'm seeing Mongoose as civvie, but I'm not super confident about that.

Well..I am glad to hear you are not super confident b/c I am not super confident she is civvie and and I am not sure confident that Signore Rapa Testa is baddie. I am only half way through reading Signore Rapa Testa though. I should be sleeping. My kids are sleeping. But instead I am paying Mafia. If you were a mom you would understand how stupid that is

Right, so if we get the last baddie this lynch period. the game is over, civvies win. Maintenance may or may not win, depending on if peacock is dead or alive.

if peacock is alive and maintenance is alive, then maintenance cannot win, but civvies can.

HOST can you confirm?

Are you saying you are maintenance?

It is possible that either or both could have been nightkilled just as it is possible that Peacock has been nightkilled. I am more concerned with the baddie thing right now, I think. If we get the last baddie out, we've won. However, I guess if no one seems suspicious enough...maybe we ought to see who is bandwagoning together...maintenance will most likely vote together in this type of situation if they are both alive.

What about the theory that Maintenance would want to lynch players regardless of whether or not who is baddie? You didn't think the way votes went down last lynch period was odd?

And your "if we get the last baddie out, we've won" is not true, if both Peacock and the Maintenance are alive. I agree the baddie is much higher priority, though. Guess we'll see what happens.

I'm confused. Maintenance needs peacock and rumbold gone to win, but can win with either team. If we get rumbold out....we win, regardless of is maintenance is alive or not....yes?

MP, not sure about maintenance. I am not even sure where you would begin to look to figure out something like that.

Well...it was fairly easy to catch up on mongoose. She hasn't contributed much all game. She has been pretty blendy actually. She hasn't made a case for anyone. I am inclined to vote her today. I will finish reading everyone first, of course. Next of MP and then Signore Rapa Testa.

linki with MP and Mongoose.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Thanks for your thoughts, Elo!

Interesting that you find Blooper to be genuine. Hmmmm.

You don't? She sounds it to me. What do you think?

Also, I got through my SVS reread as well. No specific pings :/ Mongoose is next, I may be able to finish reading her before I go to sleep...we shall see. The rest will have to wait for tomorrow.

Okay, I've decided to reread everyone (I've gotten through the first three)
Blooper - I don't see her as bad at all. He words read civ to be and she seems genuine.
Boogs - Reads civ IMO. I think he was a bit misguided on his thoughts on FZ and still may be.
FZ - She is the one that brouhgt up maintainance wanting to keep the last baddie alive so they can win. She brought to our attention that as far as we know, Peacock is still alive and so Maintainance would need him dead before getting the last baddie out. B/c she brought this up, I doubt she could be the last baddie. If she were, she would want to keep that to herself instead of reminding us all of that. Right? Sometimes I think something sounds logical in my head and then when I write it I am not so sure anymore.
Alright....SVS and Goosey are to read next. I know it is a lot to read everyone through again, but I just want to be as sure as possible about who I am voting for. Be back soon

I have a couple people I am going to reread this evening and I will come back with my thoughts.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Votes Signore Rapa Testa

Might as well. Can't see my mind changing at all. Let's get this over with.

Wow...what was quick. I am not going to be so hasty. I think we ought to hear from Signore Rapa Testa first. I mean...isn't the case against him just that he has been quiet? You've been quiet too MP.

TH has not been posting a lot. What do you all think of this? Turnip Head is the last baddie.

Elohcin wrote:Voting DP.

Um, why? You haven't said a word about him.

I feel like throwing my vote at anyone other than DP or TH would have been throwing my vote away. I don't suspect TH at all really and I could see what blooper was saying about DP being blendy. I didn't explain all this at the time of my vote b/c I was in a hurry and dealing with a RL situation at the time as well.

Voting DP.

I will reread TH as well. I am afraid he is usually too good for me to ever tell his alliance though. I shall see. If TH and MP are maintenance like FZ thinks, should we even worry about trying to get them out? The maintenance can win with either team (says page 1).

In fact. I am surprised that I can decipher your insanified phrases. Usually it is very difficult to understand an insane person. This makes me wonder if you got insanified orders from the host or if you did then to yourself in a last attempt to look more civ.

linki Mongoose Hi Mongoose!

FZ. wrote:anyone Is around?
and strange are acting TH MP
purpose it's Maybe on.

maintenence maybe they are...

I'm around. I do wonder where everyone is. The last baddie could be staying quiet to keep away suspicion. Unless the last baddie is YOU hehe! I notice you keep bringing up MP. Are you saying we ought to be suspicious of him? IMO I thought he was just busy. He did say he would be busy (this was when the game first began). And TH...can you try to communicate your thoughts on him?

Rest in Peace Snowy :/

Bullshit. You're cleaning up the kitchen. I can hear you.

Also, thank you.

Do I ever REALLY have a moment? I was washing dishes/reading.

And Yahoo! Another baddie down. Also, I am bewildered by the display.

Hey all. I finally have a moment. I am going to catch up

I've been very busy lately and I am busy today. But I have been suspicious of vomp since his third "joke" about being bad and I have said this much before. So, I came into the thread to vote vomps and I see many of you have voted that way as well. I don't have time to read your reasons (cakes and all) but I will do it later this evening when I can come back and catch up.

You literally stared at a car wreck for hours?

Awesome result! And can I just have water or apple juice? I guess I will go with Chai Just a Lil Bit Harder.

I am suspicious of Rey (for reasons other are as well) and Vomps. Vomps, b/c his "joking" about being a baddie has become pretty constant.

Vomps voted for DP when if he voted for Rey instead, he could have better ensured his safety from the lynch. Rey was third to vote Vomps breaking the tie between him and Vomps. Would Rey vote for a teammate to save himself?

I am going to go ahead and vote for Rey for now...may change to Vomps later. But it will be one of these two.

Linki....my thoughts exactly.

Turnip Head wrote:Rest in piece AP. I agree he was an odd choice for an NK.

I'm looking at SVS and Rey for their votes for Elo yesterday. I thought both of them were more opportunistic than Elo's own vote for FZ, which I thought seemed like a genuine vote. Rey's vote in particular stands out to me for coming so quickly after SVS's.

Elo, do you know why Sorsha was lynched instead of you yesterday?

Mongoose, can you explain why you chose to vote for a self-voter yesterday?

I know why I was not lynched, but I do not know why it was Sorsha that was lynched.

RIP Sorsha.

Ooo la la! Between the brasier display and the erotic cake I did yesterday, I have to go with aroused :O

I'm voting for either Dom or MP for their weird reaction to FZ, but my BTS partners are voting for someone else to distance themselves from me.

Okay this was was genuinely hilarious

Well, I am going to go ahead and vote so I can get my kids to bed. I am going to go with FZ. She may have been joking about btsc, but my gut tells me she thought it would be a good idea to pretend to joke to clear suspicion.

haha, linki with SVS, yes I was rereading several people. I don't see the sorsha thing. And I do think Niju might not have been sincere about being confused on times and what not but I am not sure that makes her bad.

Dom wrote:You just revealed you have BTSC with Vompatti and at least one other person. That means you are bad.

You know..Dom's right. They could be seriously outing themselves thinking no one will take them seriously. You never know

You are heelarious!

Sorsha wrote:Was it ever clarified if anyone had any info before hand on the poll outcome?

The question is often asked about Day 0 polls but I don't think I've ever been in a game where the host has said, "yes, someone has information." Why is it always assumed that someone may have info?

Actually you are right Rey. And I remember now, I even asked MP what he thought about that and he thought that the voter got the prize not the voted.

I can kind of see what you all are talking about when it comes to niju. (Niju is blooper, yes?)

S~V~S wrote:Maybe Bloopy can vote for Dom? TIES ARE AWESOME!!!!

But Boogs has not done anything to make me think him bad, so meh

Oh shit, I almost missed it! Sorry y'all

What the hell, let's do a tie! Also, I thought this wasn't a lynch poll? And Dom voted himself, so I don't feel bad voting his way (if this, indeed, is not a lynch poll)

Her vote however seems to be less about Dom's self vote and more about SVS suggesting she vote him. What do you think about that?

But her confusion about it being a lynch poll and about almost missing the vote seem insincere to me. niju is smarter than that.

linki - you make a good point about MP sorsha. Why would he so quickly push for Rey if rey could possibly be bad.

I went with boogs to break the tie. I have been trying to figure out a more logical deeper meaning but I give up .

reywaS wrote:Host: What does most sales in the poll question mean? Please and thank you, sir.

The poll says "most in sales" and not "most sales," signifying the individual who, while not necessarily having moved the most inventory, brought in the greatest number of pounds for the company during the last fiscal quarter.

Interesting. Greatest number of pounds. Who weighs the most?? hehe. I know Epi loves to watch us look for the deeper meaning to his polls. He is sitting back and laughing at us

Turnip Head wrote:Maybe most sales means the most posts in the game?

Me don't tink dis poll querstion be talkin bout dis game. It say "had" not "has"

Maybe MP is right.

Turnip Head wrote:Maybe most sales means the most posts in the game?

This is an interesting theory. How would anyone know who that is unless they wait until the last minute to vote?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Yay game!!!

I love the unique "time" twist here instead of days and nights. It's a small change, but pretty cool.

I actually have a theory on the poll because, knowing Epig, I think there is probably a deeper meaning to this. I could be way off, BUT has anyone considered that the "most sales" equates to the most wins on The Syndicate? And that the last quarter would pretty much be the last quarter of time? If that is the case, then reywaS would be the winner since he is the only one with two wins.

It's a stretch, and I have no idea if it's right, but it's the first thing I thought of and I think it's a really cool and plausible way of looking at the question, so I am voting reywaS.

It is possible. I do agree with you that there is deeper meaning behind Epi's polls, just not sure if your particular theory is correct. I am going to think on other possibilities.

So are you thinking that there may be a prize for everyone who votes the correct person (i.e. Rey) instead for a prize for the person that gets the most votes?

Gosh, I was a telemarketer during the 6 months of mine and Epi's engagement. It was pretty horrible, but at least the job was not commission based.

Hello all! Glad to be here. I am not sure who to pick for the poll...can we vote ourselves? Is there a prize for the winner?
