The Syndicate

Hey Sockface, is there any reason why you skipped reads on me during the GTH reads? I assume it was just a mistake.

My bad. I would have preferred to have more folks, but at least it was run now.

I suppose we could always do another, but it wouldn't have the same impact.
If you want to, but I think daytime is more ideal for it. Plus I'm still catching up on the last couple pages. Believe it or not, there was far more material to catch up on in this thread than the Recruitment thread.
Day (as in mafia Day) time or day time?

Mafia day phase.

Keep in mind, llama also has not said Supatown yet this game. :P

By typical Syndicate standards, I feel like we're all off to shoddy starts in this game.

After thinking about it, probability says it is more likely that the Bald Eagle was around to block the piggies last night (assuming he did) than it is for all four piggies to miss their night action. In my mind, it is also logical for the Bald Eagle to use his power early. The piggies would have had all of their powers to use last night in addition to the extra power they picked up from the bluebird. Later in the game, as piggies are lynched, the team roleblock becomes less and less effective (but still mighty powerful). So perhaps he did use the power last night.

No one was removed from the poll either, so that would be at least 2 night actions that the piggies missed if they were not all roleblocked.

I'm voting for llama. I don't like his persistence for consistency between games.

Angry birds be getting crazy. This game is weird.

Oh, there's also the Might Eagle, who can block all the piggies one night. We have to keep that in mind.

Sifting through just the players who did not post last night, here are my thoughts.

DFaraday

He hasn't posted much, but I like his attitude. He's wasted no time in going after players each day so far. I'm definitely not voting for him today.

fingersplints

fingersplints was accused of jumping on my bandwagon. Similar to what Boomslang pointed out about Elohcin, it was hardly a bandwagon when either of these two players voted. But still, fingersplints was "quick" to jump on a vote for me, and her reason for voting for me was because I was quick to jump on a vote for Russti. So she mimicked my actions while disagreeing with them.

FZ.

FZ went after boo early for using too much logic. I don't understand this reasoning because I like logic, but I'll give her the botd there.

MovingPictures07

Nothing to incriminate him from. Every Day 0/Day 1 post has been fluff, or a question to another player. His vote was even a self-vote. I don't think we should lynch him today, but we need more contribution from him.

nijuukyugou

nijuu looked solid on Day 1 too. Much like DFaraday, she didn't post a ton, but she's contributed. nijuu went after fingersplints early on for voting for me for weirdness.

thellama73

Many posts, but small in stature (the posts I mean). I would call it standard llama behavior. But llama would also be the one to say "lynch the non-participant" after a no-kill if he was the one to miss a kill. Still, llama is very dependable and does not miss night actions (or at least he doesn't miss lynch-votes).

TinyBubbles

She hasn't posted since Day 0, so no content to go off of.

boo wrote:FZ. is a civ or the SK. Hrmm.

Am I missing something here? What brought you to this conclusion?

Here is a list of players that did not post last night.

DFaraday
fingersplints
FZ.
MovingPictures07
nijuukyugou
thellama73
TinyBubbles

That's quite a lot of players.

To expand re:LR: I was getting the feeling Lacey was civ, based on her limited number of posts. I had thought (up until that post from LR), that since she's a first time player, and I am suspicious of almost all hosts (including Epi) that they tend to give new players BTSC (or at least the possibility for it), so I thought maybe, in addition to Scotty, LR (since she's a RL friend of Lacey and I also think that could be a factor, which is increased by what Eloh mentioned about Simon and Epi having let her pick her role) and Lacey were the other two bluebirds.

Then LR made that post, which reads to me like someone who has more insight into the topic, but is trying to mask it. Now, maybe as a bluebird she'd mask it, but I'm not sure more clarification would be given to a civ. That makes me think she might be bad (and by extension, raises concerns about Lacey, since maybe LR just did some of the often-talked-about-but-mostly-imo-made-up coaching of a new player, with two of them being baddies).

Since I was the only person doing much night-talking, I didn't want to post that, in case Mighty Eagle was not inclined to agree with me.

Goodness, I hope it's not the case that more clarification wouldn't be given to a civ. How else would a newbie civ learn about the game? I could be misunderstanding your meaning, though. I'm grateful that people answered my questions about one of the baddies gaining the bluebird's power. That aspect seems crucial, but maybe it doesn't actually come up much?
To clarify, the notion that anyone can gain anyone else's power seems crucial, not just the bluebird. But again, as a newbie, I may be misunderstanding its importance.

No you are correct. One of the baddies gaining a civilian's power is less than ideal since there are already four of them, and they have a few powers already. The good thing is, they only gain the power to use that one night, not for the duration of the game.

16 players in the poll. Did nobody send their night actions in last night?

Hi.
Almost friend. Rip. Ice bear is not aware of the alignment of Jim, but believes all life has value, even scummy life.

Jim was a bluebird, and the finest little fellow to annihilate some pigs.

Linki: you mean get BTSC with one of the bluebirds? Golly, I hope not.

It's a bad thing because I would be lynched.

I actually do prefer votes to not be concentrated on one player, and my vote was intended to get a reaction from Russ.
Did you really think he was bad? Why did you choose him to get a reaction from? Why not any of the other players? Do you believe that his suggestion to vote for the specific 3 people was sinister? If so, why?
He could be bad, but I voted for him because he suggested a strategy of not spreading out the votes, so I followed his strategy to see how he would respond.

I am disappointed that he hasn't responded yet.

I also noticed and agree with what boo had to say previously.
MM, thanks for not spreading out the votes. I'm not bad, though, so feel free to "not spread them " onto other people.

Well, since the vote is already spread, I will vote scotty as well. It's fun to tie things up b/c tie breakers give info
I think your idea of fun is different than mine.

I just don't see the same thing as others on Russ still.
And I don't like your definition of fun. At least llama had some sort of guy reason.

Are you saying there could be merit to my reasoning that you could be a bad bird, Elo?

I would prefer not to have to do a retaliation vote on the next highest vote-getter, but it's heading that way, Jim.

Anybody else down for voting for Lipsticklacey? Or LoRab? She hasn't been here today.
II wouldn't be into a Lipsticklacey lynch. She's brand new, for crying' out loud! In my book that gives her free reign until D3. Others are free to not agree, but that's my stance. As far as LoRab, she hasn't caught my eye either way yet. She seems similar to last game so far fwiw. A bit cantankerous and an unorthodox thinker.

Linki: Fair enough, I guess. I don't see bad MP doing that, though, for the sake of his team, and I believe that he has RL PH.D. stuff. Boomy, so I'm clear, do you not believe him or do you think that he is being truthful but still subconsciously inclined to confess to his evil ways? And why not vote for one of the top 2 vote-getters and thus have a chance to meaningfully impact the lynch?

Double Linki: Daisy, thoughts on MP's self-vote?

TRIPLE LINKI: STOP POSTING

Hopefully she posts something though.

Lacey, any thoughts so far? Do see anything suspicious in any players that might indicate they are mafia?

Linki: Oh hi Lacey, you are here. Is it alright if I keep calling you Lacey?

Made and TinyBubbles missed the lynch.

15 out of 17 ain't bad though.

Boomslang wrote:Yeah, I gotta vote too. I don't have a strong read on anyone really... But I just noticed MP self-vote, which I always think is fishy. You're the only one who knows you're not bad, after all, and voting yourself undermines that trust. *votes MP*

Says the guy who self-voted on Day 0.

But I have noticed that MP has only ever self-voted when he was civilian. Still, I've only seen him do it when he is frustrated with people's attitudes towards him, not because he's busy. He used to frown on me for doing that actually.

I see LoRab peeking in right now. Perhaps Lacey will too?

Linki: wait, llama's playing? Oh, I didn't even realize that players were removed from the poll.

Linki 2: there she is.

There you are nijuukyugou! I was beginning to worry you wouldn't enjoy your golden omelette au fromage.

Technically 12 players were, but Elohcin was modkilled early in that game. Elohcin, I expect your A-game here.

11 of the 17 players are also playing Recruitment, so you have a valid point there FZ. I think it was Scotty (or someone else) who said that he wouldn't be playing full-fledged this game because of that.

I agree with the idea, but I hope Scotty doesn't get lynched though, because he always dies early in games. I also feel marginally bad for nightkilling him Night 1 in Watchmen.

I'd rather lynch Russti.

Excited to get started! I've never played Angry Birds before, and actually refuse due to a self-imposed superficial boycott.

Other self-imposed boycotts I am currently engaged in: Ice cream, Michael Bay movies, swimsuit calendars, my ex-girlfriends on Facebook.

Side note: I looked up what the Golden Egg is, because I just assumed it was good since it's Golden and all good things are golden.

They apparently are collected in game to unlock additional levels, and/or additional mini-games. But don't try to collect a Golden Egg with the MIGHTY EAGLE BECAUSE HE'S A LUMBERING ASSHOLE WHO WILL #DESTROY IT.

@Epignosis Hey man, btw I'ma try and be a little PC talking, since I assume Simon is reading these posts. Is that your wish, or do I have free roam in the (sub)English language?
All of your boycotts are wise, except ice cream. What is wrong with you there?? I eat ice cream nearly daily because it is the best.

Also, at risk of causing srs bsns...maybe we shouldn't completely spread the vote, here. Leaves it open to baddie manipulation, and as we all saw in MOTU, these things can decide games. I suggest we all vote for one of the following: Russti, Scotty, or Boomslang.

Good plan.

I voted Russ so as not to spread the vote.

Made and boo did all the dirty work for me.

I voted for nijuu because she's always trustworthy.

PS: I have not read my role PM yet. I'll go do that now.
