The Syndicate

Thanks for the banners, Mongoose and LC! I shall wear it proudly.

Holy crap! I guess it's a good thing we didn't try to lynch you then How many did Made have? He really had me worried at endgame.

Indeed, winning that posting contest was the miracle we needed. Rico and I had fallen into a pit of despair until Mongoose told us what the prize was. We still might have made it through that lynch without the top prize but it would have been risky. I don't know if our extra votes would have trumped LC's extra votes.

I think the banner should have lots of EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!!

I think it was both. I know you called them night lynches. Don't try to act like you didn't! :P

I'm pretty sure LC usually makes the banners, but I've seen others make them as well. They can take a little while but they will certainly be worth the wait

I should probably discard such feelings as soon as moving on to a different game, but right now you are obviously the players I feel closest to. Damn, though, you are all dangerous partners given how much heat you can draw on yourselves, how the hell did we even pull this. Probably just my impression, but Alison also offered such nice feedback, you could almost say she rooted with us. :P

Oh yeah, this will definitely wear off once we start killing and accusing each other in future games :P But I always have a special place in my mafia heart for all the players I've had BTSC with. We had a fun little team here, I was glad to be part of it even if just for a while!

And yes everyone, whether you want to believe it or not, Rico is a NATURAL at this game. No coaching required. I'm serious. Keep an eye on him, folks. This guy's dangerous.

(Well, Rico still has some funny newb ticks, like calling NK's "night lynches", hahaha. That one amuses me so I didn't correct him )

I did. But I thought it would be ambiguous enough that it could have been LC or something. Or someone setting me up.

I knew it I just had no way to prove it. And if I had tried to make a case on you, you would have gotten me lynched for pulling a NO U :P As I said, I really liked how aggressive you were, you gave me no wiggle room, I had no idea how to react to you. Please don't ever do it again

I thought you killed Llama lol.

Made wrote:I think this was the first game i've ever played as baddie that I didn't loathe myself. Also kinda salty that I got 2/3rds a baddie team and Dom pinned as mafia when I died first time around :/


Oh speaking of my death first time around: I thought I had two lynch pardons, mean I Could be lynched twice with no consequence. I was wrong

You were not the only civ who didn't know how your own role worked :P I am still embarrassed about that

And you played a great baddie game Made. You and Dom distanced from each other really well. I suspected Dom but didn't suspect you because your opinions were so disparate. I didn't think you were bad until the final hours of the game.

linki: Yeah, that last day was tough, but we didn't know if you had a trick up your sleeve or something... you should have seen us scurrying around in chat going like "What's that tricksy LC up to?!"

No tricks left, I really used them up on the lynch where you saved yourself anyway,

That's exactly what I was hoping for

Well I lie, because that last Day, when you posted that outrageous plan, I was like... okay maybe LC is bad :P

I actually never thought you were bad LC, MM can speak for himself :P I got nothing but genuine vibes from you all game.

I would also like to thank the Bros for getting rid of Bass, he probably would have single-handedly decimated our team if he had lived any longer

Dom wrote:TH-- how you escaped my grasp SO many times is beyond me.

Dude, I have no idea! I got lucky a few times. I couldn't shake you! You had me on the defensive from the get-go, really brilliant strategy on your part. I felt so helpless lol.

I think EVERYONE thought Roxy was bad, I know I did... not easy subbing into that sort of situation, lemme tell ya...

But I dedicate this win to Roxy, because she is the best

Black Rock wrote:I knew Roxy was bad. I just decided to trust SVS after her and LC made it painfully obvious on day one who they were. You two need to work on being more subtle. To be fair if you were any other players I went have never seen it but LC and SVS never trust each other so easily. Why was I blocked so many times? I didn't even have a great role to block. Every time I wanted to take myself off the poll I was blocked.

Mongoose you are an excellent and fair host, I very much enjoyed my time in this game and talking to you.

I blocked you early on when I was a civvie, and silenced you, because you were suspicious of me and I was hoping it would give you time to reconsider :P

I cannot believe we pulled that win out of our asses. Sorry LC for having to play like such a smug baddie on the final day, but we really couldn't afford any missteps. We still had to act like civs even though it was painfully obvious that we weren't :P

Thanks for the amazing BTSC Marshy and Rico. Holy hell was I surprised to find Rico in that chatroom. What a game to start his mafia career. He had me in awe.

Thanks for the really fun game Mongoose. Sorry I was such a fail civvie the first time around, but thanks for giving me a chance to redeem myself on the flip side.

I really do believe you.

I voted for Made. Crossing my fingers.

LC, did you use your +1 vote the other day? I'm leaning towards voting for Made but I'm worried Rico might then vote for you and force a tie.

Just you and me left to vote Rico... which way are you leaning?

Exactly Made. LC's plan doesn't really have internal consistency to it. It could just mean he's given up and genuinely doesn't care, or it could be a ploy to try and force us to lynch anyone but him.

I guess I just don't understand the logic or see the motive for what you're suggesting, LC. Having three out of four players mutually agree to cast their votes upon the fourth seems like the worst way to catch a baddie, and yet ironically it's also the only way. Part of me thinks you're a baddie without a team, and you're just desperate to jump on the first bandwagon that comes along. I don't know. Another part of me thinks none of this matters and it's game over for the civs no matter what happens.

Anyways, if you guys vote Made, I'll join you. Odd that he hasn't chimed in much yet, maybe he thinks there's no way to squirm out of it since you posted your plan at the start of the day. His post about avoiding a tie at all costs rubbed me the wrong way, but I was thinking he would be connected to LC if he was connected to anyone, and I guess that's not the case.

Not sure I follow you there...

Made was vehemently against a tie yesterday... why? Trying to win the war of attrition?

Long Con wrote:If we tie this lynch, then it will lynch nobody.

Does anyone have any extra votes left?

Rico and Made are going to vote together for either you or me TH.

What do we do? I don't have my extra vote anymore, I used it yesterday in case Canuck used hers on me.

I'd probably think I was the scum of the earth

Dom wrote:Wow, I can't believe TH avoided lynch again and got a civvie lynched-- again.

It's not like you didn't suspect her yourself. Don't put it all on me. I'm trying my hardest here.

Oh, oh no.

Made wrote:Or LC and TH miss the vote and we tie canuck v TH.

Something tells me I shouldn't miss this one

Made wrote:Basically at this point TH has to vote Canuck.

Looks that way. At least that's what I had wanted to do in the first place. I seriously hope Canuck's as bad as I think she is and that this works... because otherwise this might be the end of the line no matter which of us gets lynched.

Made, what do you think of Canuck? I think she's more likely to be bad than LC. What's got LC at the top of your list in any case?

Hello? Where is err'body

Exactly, that's kind of my point. Vomps made it clear that he would vote for either you or me and didn't care which one. After I'm dead and gone, Vomp's vote would most likely head your way. I think you have the most motive to kill poor Vomps, aside from me anyways, and I know I didn't do it.

Well, I didn't kill Vompatti. And in my defense, he said he didn't care which one of us got lynched first between me and Canuck. He only hopped on the TH bandwagon yesterday because it had the necessary steam behind it. Maybe Canuck killed him because she didn't think she could keep him in line forever?

I didn't attack you, I asked you a question, you responded, then I responded... no lying here. Just dejection.

Canucklehead wrote:And I don't say "y'all" because I'm Canadian, eh?

Sorry aboot that.

Dom wrote: Like what kind of question is that?

I'm still just trying to figure out why exactly you suspect me with such conviction. LC thinks I'm a Hack, Canuck thinks I'm a Bro, they're able to back that up with some reasoning at least. You just say "th is bad tbh" over and over again and it's just... why? I don't know. That's why I asked that question. Still not sure I understand, but I'll stop asking.

This thread has gone cold. Where is everyone? What's everybody's thoughts on Canuck? She keeps playing her "i r dumb civ y'all" card, but let's be honest Canuckleberry Finn, we ALL have that card at this point

Dom, if I hadn't replaced Roxy, and I wasn't suspicious of you, would you be this convinced of my badness?

no u

Rest in peace Vomperdoodle

Vompatti wrote:You'll run out of saves eventually.

Already did. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to keep trying though. Are you still suspicious of Canuck, Vomperdoodle?

Turnips are surprisingly resilient vegetables.

Dom wrote:And would you look at that-- Turnip Head narrowly avoids death once more-- almost like he's got a team supporting him or something.

This is the only time it's happened? And it's because of my prize. If I had any teammates I probably could have pushed an LC lynch through.

I'm on the fence about LC as well. His last few posts before the non-lynch were reading genuine to me.

linki: Pretty sure Dom and I were racing each other to 10 :P

As much as I'd like to believe we're all one big happy civ family... somebody is lying.

Does that mean you owe me a Wookiee life debt? Can we team up against Dom and Canuck tomorrow?

I stopped the lynch, LC. My prize for winning the posting contest was I could use any confirmed dead role's power. David Lean clutch hitter. If you're a baddie, I'm assuming your teammates wasted a bunch of extra votes trying to save you. If you're not, well, at least we're both still alive!

I don't think you have anything against me. I think I got a raw deal replacing someone who was viewed as suspicious, though that's my own fault for agreeing to it. I didn't sub back in with a clean slate, and I think that was used against me by people who could take advantage of it. Dom's had me on the defensive the whole time; you're right that you've had less of a hand in that. It's why I don't suspect you as much as I do the others.

I'm not a Hack, other people said that so I had to use it in my arguments. I think it makes more sense to go after a supposed Brotherhoodie than it does a supposed Hack, just because of what we know about the numbers. 3 players voting together, so swiftly, this late in the game, sets off some major alarm bells for me. The paranoia is real...

It's definitely a Turnip Head-saving bandwagon, just like the other one is a Turnip Head-destructo-wagon. Only one of them can be right. Maybe there's baddies in both. I wish you had been on my side here, for one because if neither of us is bad then it's a shame that it's come to this, but also because you're the one out of the Dom/Canuck/LC trifecta that I suspect the least. But I don't feel I ever got the benefit of the doubt from you LC, and that's what concerns me the most and has me thinking you might not be on the level. I never got the feeling you were trying to work with me this game. You, Dom and Canuck have been at my throat ever since I subbed in. My back is against the wall here.
