Too bad about Elo. I wonder if the SK had a clause that whoever voted first for him in a lynch dies if he is actually lynched.
Idk just trying to help.

That's what I was thinking. Bye all! This game was so fun too. Mister Host...are there any resurrections?

I got you dawg, what you wanna know? i'm a pretty easy read

You too DH. Hmu.

What does this even mean? Made, I must say I have a hard time following your posts because of the way you have chosen to write.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Made, do you have any thoughts on anyone else?

I do actually! I skeptical of anyone who voted sorsha day 1, so "DharmaHelper (3),Bullzeye (6), S~V~S (8), nijuukyugou (11) "
I mean come the fuck on yo. If we were lynching based on what happened, the obvious choice was SVS. I'll reiterate l8r, but check a few pages back for the specifics of this opinion.

I'll have a more official post later, yo. But I still got questions yo.

I don't think it is fair to put so much into the Day 1 vote. It is Day 1. Shit, lots of people even randomize their vote on Day 1. It is often difficult to suspect someone after just 24 hours. That said, I am not defending or calling out any of the players on your list above. Just saying....putting too much stock in a day 1 vote can be dangerous.

Now, even though it is a bit hypocritical (as he called me out for suggesting we talk a bit about low posters) I think MP may have something by suggesting we look at newbies (i.e. dana and Made) Maybe Made chose to talk like she is as a distraction to help funny-up her character and not be seen as bad. And Dana...I understand being new is difficult when you don't know anyone. But it could also a baddie tactic.

That said.....I will keep my eye on those two but for now I am going to vote boogs. His case is the strongest, I believe. I have to vote now b/c I will be gone all day. Church, lunch with family, grocery store. *votes boogs*

I'm not calling it heinous. I was just rereading and stating facts and my opinion of the facts. That is all.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Elo, are you most leaning towards Boogs?

I still don't see it, but maybe I'm totally off the mark, lol.

Yes, at this point I am. I can't believe I missed that whole post from him before. It just seems like he was reaching and trying way too hard to look civ when no one was even going after him at the time. I want to hear form others about it though....Roxy and Bullz caught it.

Alright....here it is It always helps me as a player to go back and read everyone individually. It is easier for me to get my thoughts together and know my suspicions. Please, chime in and let me know what you think.

Boogs - Eager to be leader Day 0. He talks about voting for SVS on Day 1 (after results came in) not because he thinks she is bad but to save Sorsha because he thought she sounded like a frustrated civ and in his words, "it turned out she was civ afterall". This seems a little forced, like.....see guys, I didn't vote for Sorsha and she turned out to be civ....kudos to me.....I'm civ too, see? See?

Bullzeye - LOTS of filler posts. He does agree with me on boogs. H said, "That said, I find it very suspicious that Boogs claimed he tried to help Sorsha when he didn't really do anything of the sort."

Canucklehead - talks a lot about her game play and not a lot about who she suspects.

Dana - Has posted three times since Day 0, two of which said very little. The most helpful thing she has said was that she thought the case on SVS wasn't as strong as it used to be.

DharmaHelper - Has seemed quite civ to me from Day 0. He remained rational through the silliness about cats, dogs, horses and all the campainging for leader. Overall I believe he has behaved like a helpful civ.

Keterman - missed a lot of votes :/ All lynch votes maybe? Hmm... This is a bit concerning. Maybe Keterman comes from a different site where vote missing is done intentionally and it is okay. Not sure. Other than that...not sure what to say, hard to read.

Made - Searching for a post by Made (so I can then click "in topic") is not so much fun. People say "made" a lot! I am not really sure what to say of Made. He/She's hard to read through all the gangster talk I'd like to knwo why she is a top pick for civviness in Keternan's perspective.

MovingPictures - Busy. Busy. Busy. I don't think he is bad....but if he is, I'd hate to be his partner.

nijuukyugou - Hasn't said a WHOLE bunch, but no particular pings so far. I really don't know what else to say concerning Niju.

Roxy - Roxy has been pretty helpful this game IMO. She brought up what I just said about boogs at the top of my post as well. Why didn't I catch this before? I am definitely leanign towards a boogs vote today.

SVS - It was odd that she voted so quickly for Sorsha on Day 0. She then voted to lynch Sorsha (who turned out good) and voted for Hedgeowl (if I remember correctly) who turned out good).

MovingPictures07 wrote:RIPIYWG LA!

I find Elo's fixation on people who aren't around as much to be really odd. Not sure if it's suspicious, but I think I disagree. There could be at least one baddie among the higher posters.

No fixation. I am not saying all the baddies are low posters. I am just saying maybe we ought to talk about the low posters and see what we come up with. But, I am actually going through and rereading everyone right now and writing a little review of my thoughts on each. This is something I like to do in speed games. I like speed games so much better than full games. I feel I can wrap my head around them much more easily. I am about half-way through...post soon to come

Littlest one just went down (for a nap) so I am going to reread some people.

Most of the time, I think we assume the nightkilled were civ unless we are sure that there is a civvie night kill in the role descriptions. Do you have any reason to think Epi was not civ?

We don't usually assume that when there are two baddie teams though. But even then I sometimes just say RIP without the qualifier when I personally felt the victim was probably civvie (as in the case of Epi)

You are right. Usually I am good about typing "iywg" but I forgot about the two bad teams.

RIP iywg Nut! Alright guys...who are we looking at today? We're not doing so well. Maybe we ought to look at some players who don't seem to be around much?

Keterman wrote: Canucklehead. What in the world is going on with Canucklehead? Way too many smilies and way too much confidence in extremely flawed logic and obvious skim-reading. I do not see a civilian acting the way he has been acting since Sorsha's death. It's almost like he's going for a "too crazy to be scum" gambit, and I'm not buying it. I'd sooner dissect Finnegan's Wake than his ridiculous posts.

I've actually read her ( :P ) more recent defense - not the 'lol' but the one before it - as a fairly reasonable response to her accusers. I think I've only played with her once before, and that was a long time ago, but I seem to remember her tone being fairly similar at the time and she was a civ back then. Mafia doesn't have to be all serious and grumpy.

I have to agree with Bullz here. I think Canuck is pretty genuine in her defense. Problem is, now I am not sure who to look at ATM.

@ Keterman, what do you think about the players who aren't around much?

Haha, it happens. Just leave your vote up there as him and I'll make a note for myself.

30 minutes to go!

Thanks. Sorry.

I even said, "I am coming right back to vote."

Nutella, Made, Keterman, Eloh~ give me something to work with.

I was suspicious of your behavior Day 1. And even though I don't think you've given a good defense to those actions, at least that of what Epi brought up, you haven't seemed suspicious to me since. I am looking in other directions for today, most like canuck but I still have my baddie vibes from Hedge.

I'm off to run some errands and then work on a cake. Hopefully I will be back in time to catch up before the vote. No school today! Yesterday we finished Lesson 20 (four weeks into our 2014-2015 school year! Go us!

Bullzeye wrote:Why the hell would you kill off the most active player in a game where so many are really quiet? Makes no sense at all.

As I was saying.....RIP Epi. He rarely (if ever) wins civ b/c baddies always kill him off. Maybe he was onto something or the baddies thought we would think he's onto something.

My bad! My bad! That was ME!!!

I spent too much money this summer and am disappointed in myself

Roxy - could you restate your case on hedge? I read through your on-topic posts but I don't really follow what you are saying about Hedge. I have had a baddie vibe from her almost since the beginning but I don't like to go on vibes only. She just doesn't seem to be all that with-it concerning the game, that is. But that isn't enough for me to vote her.

RIP Sorsha. I must say I am very confused by her response. I didn't realize she voted for herself so early. What would make a civ do that?

Kindly ask the driver to stop? I'm sure if you explain the situation they and the other passengers will understand.

I have to disagree. When I tell anyone about Mafia they look at me blankly and use the word nerd or dork. My older brother actually said, "Tasha, I thought you were the cool one."

Actually that sounds rather delicious.

Since there was a push in my direction earlier, I would not be surprised to see a flurry of votes for me towards the end. I am gonna hold my vote until closer to the end in case I need to save myself.

I am pretty shocked you don't have any kind of defense. I will be eating dinner soon, so I need to vote. *votes S~V~S*

Speed games on The Syndicate are 24 hour Days and 24 hour Nights. Full games here are 48 hour Days and 24 hour Nights.

Did we skip night 0 or is there none? Just day 0 to day 1?

Yes, it is quite odd to call it day 0 and not have a night. I think it should just be called the game intro or something.

Keter stole my thoughts about SVS and eloquently laid them out for us to read. I would have said them myself if I weren't working like crazy right now.

Epi really isn't as mean as he seems. He is quite a nice fella IRL.

I'm voting for DH. He seems the most sane ATM.

Thank you SVS! I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. I guess I should have paid more attention in history class, haha.

Don't you like puppies?

Puppies just poop everywhere. At least kittens are decent enough to use a box. I don't care for puppies (sorry SVS). They stink no matter how much you groom them. They try to lick you with the same tongue they lick themselves (down there) with, and they bark so annoyingly at the teeniest sound. Kittens are adorable, but they scratch up your furniture and the ones I have had drag litter everywhere. I did have a wonderful cat (feisty thang) that would play fetch...she was awesome. If I ever get a cat again, I will teach it to use the toilet

Anyway...I am unsure of who to vote for yet, but I don't think it will be an eager beaver either. We have time
