The Syndicate

I did not buy anything on Pennsylvania Avenue, as I only just acquired it.

Nice roll SVS. RIP zeek

So that's three monopolies now. Green, red, and baby blues. Yeesh.

It can't be as bad as mafiascum. That place is unforgiving.

Now I'm scared to go over there.

Well, $3 on Pennsylvania

That's more recently than Degobunny has posted.

I think Ninja blooper is civ. She posts more when she is bad. No idea about Degobunny.
Degobunny has been posting on ksite. She usually is loads more active, but I'm not sure if I have seen her baddie game tbhh or not and she is much more comfortable over there then here.

Can't blame her I guess. Different crowd here. I've never played over there, so I don't know what it's like.

But she hasn't posted since Day 1. Maybe she's the one looking for a replacement.

Boo: What happens to a player's houses or hotels if they are lynched or NK'd?

I doubt they do. Nobody has paid double rent there yet.

The baby blues and the reds are the only ones that have had that happen so far.

There is a huge benefit for placing a vote on the lynched player, so this is something that's going to continue happening. Vote records are not going to be as useful a tool in this game as it is in others.

I got you once.

I'm reconsidering wanting you lyched Long Con. I don't think you're one of the reds, and they are more important to track down right now.

For starters $1 on Pennsylvania

Sorry llama.

I don't agree with your case on TH. Some of it seems forced, and his playstyle today made me feel better about him.

We've got a thread for that.

Baddie llama said this in Zelda mafia. That is eerily similar to your statement today. Nijuu was your partner then, does that mean BR is your partner now?

Fuck ties. That's what I think.

Does that mean the person who is the Electric Company (which i believe is a utility thus a baddie) learns Lorab's role? I don't remember reading that anywhere but I can't think of anything else it means.
I had to look it up too since it pertained to me. If you land on a utility they will learn your role and get money from the bank.
Yeah, it pertains to you because you are a utility! Nice try claiming you "had to look it up."

I don't understand what part of this people aren't finding convincing.

I missed the part where he is a utility.

LoRab wrote:Also, I think Epi may have been one of the reds--it would make sense why they're auctioning houses off now. I agree he was an odd choice of kill.

Epi spent $1000 in the first couple days bidding on a power and a property. That means he would have had to come up with $450 in rent and other things to purchase three houses. I just don't think that's plausible.

I'm not a Red either. I've been very tight with my cash for the very reason I don't want to land on that sorta shit. I haven't even made it past go yet thanks to my trip to jail

Just asking...

I am still very leery of zeeks quiet~ I know he says otherwise but I am not sure I believe him to be on the level. I am also I am not a fan of Llama changing course on LC since we are going into the "turning on each other" phase of the game a bit earlier than I had expected it to happen, it seems. I don't think they are original baddies, but that sudden change is worrisome if we are looking to LMS teams.

I have been afraid of bidding for stuff after being NKed night one, but I will continue to bid for the protection, and am considering Captain Planet, pending a question:

@boo~ If one bids on Captain Planet, and has no current partners or cards other than the original one, I presume it can be held in reserve?

If I get the answer I hope for, I might be willing to risk a big chunk of my stash on that. A bigger BTS group has a better chance, and the more civs banded together the more "civ" we remain.

Linki~ other than LC, do you have any other suspicions?
I still think zeek is a civvie.

I'm posting less; do you suspect me for it?
For posting less? No. But this has been your norm more or less for the last half a year or so; you go through frenetic periods of posting punctuated by periods of silence as required by rl. zeek, on the other hand, I have played 2 games with, and in both he was MUCH more chatty than he is here. Even in Who where he was recruited (I am thinking Hedge hates me~ first she does not recruit me in Who, now she kills me night one ), the first half of his game was in stark, STARK, contrast to this one. Although tbh, with you vouching for him so hard, I am more inclined to think he is in a LMS group than a baddie.

But you comparing your behavior to someone else behavior proves nothing. Not sure why you even asked this question.

I am very surprised that Epi was killed; more than one person suspected him, and I had my ideas based on a reread of BWT & Epis conversation with LoRab. But it appears he cannot have been bad.

When I was reading today, I saw a post Llama made and it made me , but it also made me

I have seen actual baddie teammates do this kinda thing (rabbit & tranq come to mind) to throw people off. People think it's sarcasm, etc. Or know ing Llama, it could be actual sarcasm.[/quote]

Oh, you mean like this?

S~V~S wrote:I am more likely to vote for Llama than LC; he is the one doing the crazy antic stuff. And even if the theory du jour is correct, and they are Light Blue, even if Light Blue was to get Hotels they are not the threat that the pricier Reds are. So if we are going to go after LMS teams, I would prefer to get the Reds to the Light Blues.

I am not totally understanding the case on TH either. Can someone explain it a bit more concisely? I have to reread today a bit more in depth, I skimmed on phone. I thought he rebutted it pretty well during the boogs lynch; is there more to it now then there was then?

Can the baby blues even build anymore if Epi was one of them and he's gone? Would his teammates have to somehow reacquire his property back?

As for the case on TH, I don't follow it either at this point.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Today has turned into a llama and LC vs. MP and zeek battle.
How has it turned into this? No mention of TH, yet llama wants him lynched and has said nothing about me. I still don't get why I'm being associated with MP either.

My concern over LC is based on him definitely having found one partner and houses present on the board. I'd still rather find a Mafia and I don't see those three as baddies.

I guess I should clarify. It's an LC vs. MP battle, and LC thinks you're on MP's team while MP think's llama is on LC's team. I haven't yet looked into where these conclusions came from.

Since Illinois made $1500 in the last two turns, imagine if he/she lays it all on the Captain Planet power (which would probably guarantee him that power), allowing that person's team to gain access to another team, expanding their LMS. I think that LC is one of the baby blues. I'm also now considering MP as WW. It seemed convenient for him to state his interest i searching for another railroad, while he dropped the work on us to look through Hedge's posts.

juliets wrote:Also, I'm totally confused about what happens when one of the partners dies and their are houses on the property. Sorry TH.

I'd also like more information on this.

Is it just coincidence that MP became more active (or rather returned more to his usual self) after Rob was NK'd? Also, MP said he is certain that llama and LC are teammates, but is suddenly hell-bent on finding another RR, yet not interested in finding the other utility.

Today has turned into a llama and LC vs. MP and zeek battle.

Looks like boogs is going so I'll vote there for the cash bonus and because I doubt a vote anywhere else will do much good anyway.

Sorry I'm lame this game.

No, that would be me in Fight Club mafia. I was modkilled twice.

I'm switching my vote to Boogs.

EBWOP: wants

Well that's fine anyway. I've got other things to do.

Nobody once to talk about anything but Boogs today, huh.

I switched my vote to Long Con. Between him and Epi, I'd rather lynch the one who has more cash.

Linki: Well, that seems to be the inevitable choice of the day.

Thank you.

Regarding the repeated accusation of profligate spending, I don't throw around money. I use it. Like I think people vulnerable to be Night killed should do. I am aware of the most I could lose on a board with no hotels in the span of two turns. I miscalculated at one point, but I took action to correct that.
Why would you consider yourself vulnerable to NK's as opposed to other players? I think this speaks volumes of where you are in this game right now, and also where your team is. You say that like you have something to lose.
Eh?

I did not say I was more vulnerable to a Night kill than anyone else. That's reading something into my words that isn't there. I said "people vulnerable to be Night killed" (i.e., civilians). My thinking is that civilians should use their money to procure advantages in the early stages of the game. Many people don't agree with that, and I probably would have gotten lynched Day 1 if Made hadn't goofed.

I did not say 'more' vulnerable to a Night Kill; there was no comparative. But going along with your point, didn't you also say that you were spending money to make yourself less attractive for a Night Kill?

I still stand by my theory that you and LC are partners along with another unknown. It's common knowledge that you don't have enough money to be an owner of the red properties, and yes I am making some reasonable assumptions. There is also a single house on the baby blues. I can think of two scenarios for this.

1) The owners opted to go small this turn because there weren't many players passing through last turn, and to keep the attention on the reds with their 3 houses each.

2) They don't have the cash to buy more than the one house.

So seeing Epignosis landed on red which clearly has houses, it's safe now I think to pretty much say he and LC are Red properties since he didn't die from paying so much after bidding and winning so much stuff already. Problem is, we are coming around Go and have to touch that in the next 1-3 nights. We have to get the baddies basically perfect now lol.
So Turnip Head? Thoughts?
That wouldn't matter. If Epi is not in the red group, he wouldn't have to pay out of pocket if there aren't hotels.
Houses don't charge? (Looks at the board movements) Apparently "the bank" paid him. Is this right then?
That is correct. Any rent will show up normally, regardless of the owner, so as to not out properties for anyone.

And also any rent is collected from the bank rather than the player, unless there is a hotel on the property.

The first quote you pulled read the following post where I proved myself wrong.

Boogs wrote:This kitty vote train forming is terribly wrong. And to clarify when I said Epignosis is buying Cred it does make sense. He is hoping and praying I am water works so his "case" will make you guys not suspect him because he is a Railroad and they can only Lynch Utilities. I am not WW and if I get lynched, he will try TH tomorrow and just say "whoops I was wrong about Boogs". You guys didnt read when I posted the rules for Utlities not being NK by Raikroads. I am sure this is Epignosis pretending to be a Civ, henc why he keeps mentioing wanting the Utilities out. He doesnt mention going after RR yesterday or today or yesterda, just BWT teammate the Utility. He is a RR ! I am not a RR or Utility guys.

I don't think he's a RR, I think he's a color.

Why would we follow Epi's lead tomorrow if he is wrong about you today?
