The Syndicate

Hitchcock

I just had two Salt & Vinegar chips and they were really good. I only took them so my nighttime vitamins would have something to sit with, but it made me want MOAR

Ok,so I read everything from the night post in one sitting. BWT's post that confused everyone. I immediately noticed it and was suspicious because it read as either a slip up, or an attempt to protect Zany Dex. Knowing however, that he has listed Zany Dex as his top suspect, it seems more likely to...

World War Z made me write this because I was so impressed. x-posted to facebook SOAPBOX MOMENT: Something hit a nerve with me tonight at my increasing dissatisfaction with Hollywood. I'm going to use my experience tonight as a springboard into this rallying cry. Usually it's James with calls to acti...

I know what mumblecore is but I've never seen any at all. If it sounds even remotely interesting to you (character and dialogue-driven stories), a good starter piece is The Puffy Chair. If you like movies with lots of talking (Before Sunrise, My Dinner With Andre), this might be a good option for y...

That's a disappointment about Passion Pit. I've always wanted to see Animal Collective live. This year (about a month ago) I saw Bloc Party live over in Orlando. I've seen them once before, about 6 years prior. It's a rockin' good show and they did so many encores. Kele really gives it his all and h...

Sweet! I'm actually in St Pete. I love the bay area!

I've never heard of any of these things or people. You might dig the work of John Cassavetes. Most of those films were from the '70s. Starring director himself, Peter Falk, Ben Gazzara, and Cassavetes' real life wife Gena Rowlands. His most famous works are: Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Woman Under...

Ah so you DID say "bad" instead of "good." That's why I thought it was a slip up lol. WTF is Dex doing? Any reason he would try to get himself lynched/voted for? Yeah. I went back and read it, and I saw that immediately. No wonder so many people got confused! :blush: I have no i...

Ah so you DID say "bad" instead of "good." That's why I thought it was a slip up lol. WTF is Dex doing? Any reason he would try to get himself lynched/voted for? Seems so. There is definitely some strange behaviour this game. Indeed! I think some players took crazy pills instead...

bwt's explanation, that is.

I wasn't confused (and was glad to see bwt's wasn't defensive), but now I am also confused.

RIPIYWG agleamintheranks. I have to say, I'm pretty surprised to see him night killed, when it looked like he had a good chance of being lynched anyway. Maybe one of the bad teams saw his behavior as as unnerving as we did. My top suspect is Zany Dex. . Is the drive-by voting your main reason for s...

Korn?

What do we think of it? I love Cassavetes and also Slackavetes (Richard Linklater), so I dig both Duplass Bros and Swanberg camps. I think my favorite Mumblecore film is Hannah Takes the Stairs, but I feel like this changes all the time. I really love Puffy Chair and Quiet City. It's weird to see Ma...

Nevermind after rereading his post I noticed this: "My main concern is that we lynch him nearly unanimously and he winds up being bad." :eye: I apparently miss things when I skim :disappoint: It could have been a typo (just omitting the word "not" before bad. It seems like a pre...

Grapefruit (my fifth favorite food)

You guys did such a great job. A terrific entre for my first mafia game.

The Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Joe The Lion, Major Tom... all great roles.

Truly! And Goblin King, Fashion Icon, Nikola Tesla for goodness sake.

I saw the new Farrelly Bros movie, Movie 43. It has one billion famous A-listers in it. Some of the concepts were pretty good, but the execution was usually lacking. It was better than an episode of SNL lately though.

I give it a hard 6 because I enjoyed it even though it was somewhat crappy.

There are an awful lot of video game themed mafias lately, a subject about which I am woefully ill-informed, but this looks fun. Those pictures are fantastic! Maybe a Monkey Island game llama? Also, love the art for this one. Oh my God that is the best idea I have ever heard. I am totally going to ...

I really want this! Any closer to completion?

Nooo, it doesn't. Vaguely reminiscent of a scene in Jason X where he plunges a girl's head into liquid nitrogen and then slams her head on the counter, shattering it into a million fragments. Gross.

RIP gleam. RIP Gleam. A shame you had to die so early Kooby. :( Which sucks, because I was one of the people I was going to be looking at today. Dex is currently my top suspect though. His drive-by-post-vote doesn't sit well with me, and then him saying he did it because he saw a bandwagon forming ...

Just wanna say something because this is what gets me frustrated at almost every single mafia game. Just because a player is quiet does not mean they are bad. Yes, baddies do sometimes lay low to avoid attention. But baddies also can be talkative in a game. Play style does not dictate affiliation o...

Eip, your icon always makes me want to watch Farscape. Or maybe Tim Curry in Legend. I hope you find those items satisfactory.

Lizzy wrote:Well, enough game deconstruction for today. :P Back to analysing other affairs.

Good thinking, Lizzy. I'm over here being sad about James Gandolfini. Seems apropos to mention him in a Mafia game.

So those are my thoughts. But I dislike idle speculation, and I especially dislike much of the nonsensical and amateur pseudo-psychological warfare that happens in the mafia threads. I post very seldomly. One wonders why you agreed to play if you seem to hate the core concept of the game. Ha, good ...

Strangers

I think I like the music video more than I even like the song! I saw them live in Tampa, pretty good show!

Good picks, bea. I have had The Format's Dog Problems as something of an anthem these last few years.

The song is good and the video is super cute.

Snow Dog wrote:RIP AP. Once again I was wrong about you.

Ugh, I know. Now when AP is finally a baddie, none of us will want to vote him out.

I probably wouldn't have gone to law school. Six years later, I'm not working in my field but I still owe $100k. But I did make the best friends of my life there, so I'm not married to that answer.

Would you have participated in the Rite of Spring riot?

Mysteries

I'm allergic to mint, so I'll pretend it's pistacchio. Looks really good though!

Firefly

Firefly or The X-Files

Potatoes for sure, they are probably my third favorite food.

Would you rather be in a righteous mob and get indicted or be persecuted by a righteous mob?

If you are truly a civvie (and Lizzy too) then I think you are doing yourself and the rest of the civvies a disservice by self-voting. As I just mentioned, our primary power is our current ability to outnumber the mafia. Yeah, it rings a little "Thou dost protest too much" by voting for o...

I'm voting A Person due to the possible slip many of you have referenced/analyzed.

Voting a little early because I will be leading a book discussion on Devil in the grove : Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the dawn of a new America this afternoon.

I do my own plumbing when it's something easy or easy-moderate. Anything above that I leave to the professionals. I wish I could do more though.

See a ghost at the end of your bed or see a great white during your scuba dive?

Hi bwt - just straighten me out on one thing - you say that people who randomize today when there has been a decent bit of discussion, especially if there is another 24 hours to go, ping you. It seems like Vomps fits that definition but you also say you dont think he would have taken the risk by vo...

Mafia is not about fairness. It's about trying to win by finding the members of the opposing team and killing them. Brutally. At this point voting randomly seems likely to result in voting for someone not on my team, and since I can't pretend I have anything to go on I might as well try that. I got...

I strongly discourage randomizing on day 1. I am leaning towards a vote for llama - simply for starting the whole "random voting" AGAIN. It is never resolved, it always ends up with a long drawn out argument and people still will randomize on day 1 because, well, they see no reason at the...

Me too. The historic Tampa Theatre is showing it in a few weeks, and I need to decide if seeing it on the big screen in one of the best cinemas ever is worth $9.

I really do not want to randomize, so I am going to take an educated guess when the timing is right. I suppose this will parse us out by our opinions on collateral damage.

I'm here, by the way. I am not being quiet (per se), just extremely overwhelmed by the information overload. I am digesting and marinating upon this very interesting world!
