The Syndicate

And for what it's worth, The Hobbit had a pretty active Day 1, yet there were still a mere 872 posts by the time Night 2 started.

I figured that's what you meant. Anyway, that's how I have a tendency to play. It helps me interact with people (when they actually respond), and also helps me keep up with the goings-on. Also, I'm not a great scumhunter, so I believe this helps others when they are doing such. Sometimes, I default to this style like I've kinda done this game. When I post original thoughts and ask questions and get no response, I tend to lose motivation. As you say, I've been active, and I was pushing Made on Day 1 as well, but it just went completely under the radar. It's a bit frustrating, really.

But this is a big game, so I won't dwell on it. It's not easy to keep up and respond to everything.

But I do want to hear other players' thoughts on this.

Enrique wrote:Yeah, Made... why would you make that assumption in the first place?
Honestly, because assumptions are fun. They also allowed me to get a theory. When SVS pointed out I assumed even, I edited my theory to account for additional people.

Since no one''s called me on it yet, I also assumed that if someone critizied Hedge they weren't teammates. I just assumed this because i would help is get a smaller group of candidates for questioning

As for your other comment about questioning you Enrique...

Ignore the last line of that,
I'm taking an Practice ACT so I wouldn't be able to post this when the timer in my Signature ends. The forum's been too slow to day to try to alarm everyone anyways :/

Why don't we just keep everything in the game thread?

S~V~S wrote:I dunno, Made, could be, but I like trying to extrapolate from the posts of the known baddie. Juliets is afk for most of the weekend~ and Enrique put a lot of time into defending YOU, Made. If you turn on him, my reason for not trying to lynch you is out the window.

Anyhow, night

I don't understand SVS, why would Made taking a good look at Enrique make him bad? I know that Enrique spent all of Day 1 arguing for the civvieness of Made, but could that not also be a perfect baddie move? Let's be hypothetical for a second; Llama brought up a VERY solid point against Made, and Made didn't do himself any favors at the beginning, so what if Enrique is bad, and Made is not on his team, meaning there's a solid chance he is good? It's the 'see, I told you he was civ' scenario that may gain him some civvie cred.

And mafia isn't personal, it's not like Made owes Enrique any favors.

Was DF truly ignorant of who Enrique is?

In the same post, Enrique said this to Made:

Yeah, don't do that, lol. I'm the kind that does this and gets uber defensive. There's definitely better ways to stand your ground. Not sure if anyone here remembers the mega-post I made that one time in Piano? For Recruitment Mafia, I think. I quoted posts from like every single page in the game. People had to spend whole minutes scrolling down to the end. It was half glorious half terrible. I got lynched.
Read that two, three times over and decide for yourself if it means anything.

Remember that one time in The Hobbit when you brought up fantastic circumstantial evidence against fingers, but never pursued it? And remember how fingers ended up being a baddie? This reminds me of that, except we don't know Enrique's role.

*vote MR* because why not.
The JC(that's Juliet right?) comment is intresting, but to defend a teammate like this seems like a really bad move? As a counterarguement, was anyone else defending her? Maybe he felt he needed to speak up for the sake of her longevity. Also, Probably voted MR for a reason.

Also, I forgot to mention above, Hedge is looking pretty shady now.
Both this post and the previous are replies to what i said on my read list, they were also posted aroudn the same time. Not sure if this is relevant to anything, but felt it should be pointed out.
That's all i got yo
Thoughts?

I'm going to look at points 1 & 2 from this. These honestly both fit you (and llama) quite well. Both of you are nudgers, and DFaraday definitely distanced himself from the Made/llama case with that post.

Now, in service to the Lord our God, the author of La Recherche du Temps Perdu:

Day 0: Mostly off topic Monty Python references. Entirely too silly, and liable to be hauled away by the police. Lots of innuendo due to the opening poll, know what I mean, know what I mean? MetalMarsh was turned into a newt. Say no more!

Day 1: After a trivia contest at which Enrique seemed to be able to type supernaturally fast, the nudgers were on the chopping block. Several people said "don't use the chats as evidence!" and were ignored. Some llama brought up a chat suspicion about Made and they argued about it forever. Enrique stuck his nose in an argument that didn't concern him and they argued about it forever. Language competence was called into question. S~V~S scolded. Most people abstained from taking a side (like cowards). MovingPictures accused S~V~S which did not go over well at all, with votes piling on him faster than dogs piling on a dog pile (AKA a pile of dogs). Hedgeowl foolishly outed herself as HedgeBaddie in the eleventh hour, but she couldn't be voted for anyway. Llama gave a succinct and strangely moving description of his own personality to Dana and a bagpipe didn't say no.

Night 1: MovingPictures was lynched as a horrible indie and no one felt bad about it. God showed up (a bit late) and started demanding synopses and lack of grovelling. Thellama came back from a night of drinking and posted his entry so as not to displease the deity. There was probably linki.

Linki: yep.

And there was much rejoicing.

Eloh and I have, sadly, been going through some rough times in our marriage. We spoke to a professional.

This guy kept telling us all about how communication was important and about how we need to know our spouse's likes and dislikes and so on. Guy thought I wasn't paying attention, so he snapped his fingers at me. "Hey! Do you know your wife's favorite flower?"

"King Arthur All Purpose," I says. "Next question."

My apologies for the silly story about Eloh earlier. Nothing personal was intended.

I have a flip phone. That's right. My phone can still sniff its own crotch.

Meaning your phone also has a head (with a mind in it) and a nether region.

Like who? I've been told talking at night was sort of an unorthodox thing.

Talking at night draws attention, often the attention of baddies wondering who to kill. So often people will kind of 'take cover' and hope that they avoid notice of the baddies.

This is how it appears to me anyway. But that won't keep me quiet.

Linki: Yes my Lord. Sorry my Lord. Shall I serenade you with one of David's verses?

Oh Lord, I avert my eyes.

So you non-nonchalantly left us, 3 of us, on our own to do that whole challenge? Do you know how hard that was? So really what I get out of what you're saying is you didn't care - you had no desire to help the team out. This explanation just doesn't help me with my uneasiness about you. I think there is a fair chance you not only didn't care you planned to not help us after you checked out who was there and saw we were not your teammates. No one else who was part of our group did this and some people like bwt and mp came in as soon as they could after they found out about the event. So bottom line, you intentionally didn't help us and as a result we struggled and ended up here. I am uneasy about you so you get my vote today -

votes MR
This one.
Thats MR not MP. And what do you find suspicious about this post?
While I agree that we were short on people and disorganized and things were chaotic, this just seemed to come out of no where.

Also,sorry bout that, too many M's (btw Mr Moustache isn't MM, it's the other MM right?)

While I do have a mustache, I have never been referred to as such. But yes, I am still the MM you dream about.

S~V~S wrote:Hrm, that's unexpected. Indy, not neutral. Unless they give powers eventually, no way of saying if it was a Serial Killer or not.

This is from a movie deaths database:

"It's the legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh--" Maynard exclaims, and the monster promptly devours him up. Rather then face this foe, Arthur and his knights instead choose to run away, and the Beast immediately gives chase through the many tunnels of the cave. After a few moments of running, Arthur and his knights seemingly have evaded their monstrous pursuer, and quietly search for a way out. Their loud whispering, however, gives them away and the Beast finds them again, and the chase resumes.

The Narrator then provides us the details of what happens next: "The horrendous Black Beast lunged forward! Escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless... when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack!"
So he could have been an SK
Ture. Let's not rez him to be safe. (Not aimed at anyone in particular).

Screw that idea, I'm rezzing him again.

juliets wrote:This has surely already been explained but what exactly is the suspicion about MP? I've lost the thread of that argument amongst the others.

I believe that people see him as wishy-washy. 'Contributing without saying anything' as someone put it. He's the elephant in the room.

I haven't developed a strong opinion yet, though I really haven't tried. But Epi has gotten a rather unanimous good vibe from everyone, and he thinks MP is suspicious. There's some food for thought.

I guess I did found that "group", lol.

In my head, it was more of a term covering all those who were questioning Made, iirc. Rey was the biggest standout to me; Llama too, right?

llama, definitely. As for rey, well there were others too. He didn't stand out to me anyway.

Any speculation on vote manipulation? Is that a common factor in a Roxy game?

cue baddie talk for game mechanics speculation.

I'm more troubled by her vote list and then not being around. I'd like to hear her opinions as to why she's considering those ones for a vote.

Funnily enough it was MP, here I believe. Is this the thing you're talking about.

I did a reread of juliets early Day 1 posts. It does look very much like deflecting attention. I can't tell how sincere it is. But she does not seem to recall events that transpired in the chatroom. Was is ignorance or legitimate? I'm still trying to decipher.

I still don't think my vote will change though, at least not to juliets. I know I got a little emotional with Logan earlier, but I've reread him twice, and his posts look that of a sincere llama. Not only that, but I can't discount Made's reactions from early Day 1. They are not clean at all, even if he's looked a lot better of late. If Made flips bad, then a vote for juliets would be warranted.

Linki: she said she was voting Hedgeowl? and lol

I'm also not understanding the juliets votes, did I miss something?

If it makes you feel better, I get frustrated with mafia almost every single game, which is why I end up calling people idiots and getting in trouble with hosts/mods/MP.

But I keep coming back for more. Glutton for punishment.

I've gotten in 'trouble' with the mods twice in thread already this game.

Made wrote:the way the chat works is if you leave and rejoin, you see all messages you missed. That said, I had chat open and almost got kicked for being afk. When you brought up this point, the last messages were something along the lines of "Roxy cleared chat 8 seconds ago" "Dispor left 10 seconds ago" and "Dana joined 6 seconds ago". Basically this was a joke, as obviously if the messages appeared in that order the time stamps were incorrect.
Neither of those people were in our chat. They were in the other team's chat!

Switching my vote back to Made.

If you recall, Dana became a nudger and joined your group later on.

Also, Dispor is a co-host, so I guess he can do whatever he pleases.

I'm reading Rob like a straight up civ (but that's what he wants us to think!). No, but seriously.

MM - That's how I feel as well. PS I feel good about you.

You and myself don't really belong on that list, maybe juliets as well. The rest, sure.

Chatty Matt seems like good Matt to me. He's been on my baddie team once or twice (twice I believe), and he hardly said a word. That's what I'm going off of for now.
