Jay, you suggested two potential mafia teams of two players. Would you agree or disagree that if there were two mafia left, then this game would effectively be over?
Not officially, but practically. The two mafia roles together would be a lot to overcome without a majority. I'm not sure whether we'd be mathematically eliminated like town would normally be in a 2 vs 2.

At least one player is drugged. Blind is still alive.

There are a lot of many obstacles for the civs to overcome if there are two mafia left.

Linki: Oh hi zebra. Long see, no time.

So you want to win regardless of how many are left?

Back on topic.

See if you can fit it on the paper.

You know who you are, and I know who you are. Your time has come. DIE BITCH

That's not what I said.

Just another 1.5 hours until that day phase ends.

Rico... catch that turnip.
I wanna, but it also feels like semi-cheating, because it's OT and small talk instead of intense talk.

Then again, considering how much TH spammed in Death Note to climb his way up there...

Would you believe me if I told you I had less than 100 posts at the start of Day 5?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Alright, so here is the Top 10 "posts in thread" of all time at The Syndicate... but, as Rico noted, these are including post-game posts for all non-Talking Heads games:

1. JaggedJimmyJay 1440 [Talking Heads]
2. Turnip Head 1001 [Death Note]
3. Ricochet 976 [Talking Heads]
4. Chris 952 [Doctor Who]

Honorable mention to:
Epignosis 673 [Death Note]

You forgot these two.

JaggedJimmyJay 769 [Economics]
MovingPictures07 722 [Economics]

And two more Honorable mentions.

zeek 683 [Dr. Who]
Metalmarsh89 662 [Flash]

And that's everything over 600.

If there are two mafia alive, we've already lost. I think DrWilgy was mafia, and Drugs is the last one.

Marsh, could you point to the moment in Russ's posts which inspired this confident statement from you? You've been at least entertaining alternative possibilities, so I'd just like to see what pushed your confidence to this level.

Yes.

Russtifinko suggested you are not Blind, and could easily be bad.

Russtifinko wrote:Also, Blind does NOT have to be JJJ. You're only assuming that because he told you he thought he'd be around to endgame. That could also easily be because he and/or you are bad.

Linki: Provide evidence on the Wilgy thing, please, or at least list the baddies you're talking about. That's not a case, that's a baseless accusation.

Blind is still alive. I am not Blind based on the Day 12 lynch. Russtifinko most likely isn't Blind after all of the close lynches he's voted in that have gone his way. Ricochet probably isn't Blind either, but if he is, that makes Russtifinko's accusation false, and not because someone else is mafia, but because Russti is.

That leaves you as this specific role.

There is water underground.

Ricochet wrote:Morning. Fell asleep again. Grabbing my cup of Pepsi and making myself an omelette and will reply afterwards.

And the heat goes on.

Pepsi doesn't go well with omelette.

Russtifinko wrote:(1) I played the worst baddie game in history, bussing teammates left and right when it stopped me from using my role power and made no sense to do so. Rico also played a pretty terrible game as a civ.

Russtifinko wrote:(2): Rico played a prototypical baddie game where he bussed teammates only when he thought it was absolutely necessary, and did an damned impressive job keeping us guessing up until this point. I played a pretty solid civ game with a few notable holes (e.g. tunneling motel and missing Floyd). You guys can decide which is more likely.

I'm not buying what you're selling Russ. You and Ricochet are in the exact same scenario right now, with the only difference being your role. Yet it's amazing the difference in outlooks you've provided in these two alternative possibilities here.

You have done an impressive job to make it to this point in the game, whether you are civ or mafia. I'm just certain that you are drugging us all you bastard.

That is wonderful news.

Hostmuffincakes: if Drugs targets the same player with his ability on two different night phases, would he give that player 4 extra votes each lynch?

Who said my name?

I only know 3 of them. :P

1. Fear of Music
2. Remain in Light
3. More Songs about Buildings and Food

Oops, that was BWT, not you Russ.

Russ, you and Jay have already taken the CEO position away from me with your votes. I won't let Ricochet take this from me.

Too little too late, my friend. Rico has had the lyric thing locked down since like Day 2.

No way! I've been doing it the whole time, just without the smileys.

I've got it figured out. I've got it figured out.

Just post Talking Heads lyrics Ricochet.

I need something to change your mind.

Ninja'd.

This was 24 hours ago, but I don't want to make assumptions for Jay.

linki: MP answered that. No.

Feels like a murder but that's alright

Does mafia inherit the PSK's nightkill?

I figured out who you were in Zelda, for what it's worth.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Nope I'm done and ready to go.

EBWOP: *finished

Nope I'm done and ready to go.

I feel like we're right about you Russ. If for some reason we're wrong, I still feel pretty good about our chances tomorrow.

Yeah Russ, that was debunked.

Yup, my vote's not moving. Russtifinko is definitely bad, and the final one.

I'm ready to end Day 14 when all votes are cast.

Linki: them's are my thoughts Russ.

Oh and hello MP

Hold on, because it's been taken care of.

I'm here Russ. What's up?

How the hell are you Jay?

The only thing that bothers me about this game is that I won't get a chance to participate in Spectator Chat.

I still haven't gotten to join one on RYM either.

Floyd stated that mafia's target on Night 7 was Blind, so I believe they know who it is, and have known for a while.

Ricochet wrote:I agree in the end that the lynch Blind tactic can be a tactic in itself. I said I'll wait to see what Russ plans to do with his vote.

I'm still confident things will work out, even if with shenanigan odds. I can't say why, though, but it doesn't have to do with me being any less civ than I am.

Plus, if by any chance today's lynch does fail, and Blind goes down, Drugs can't kill the following Night, so tomorrow we'll still be able to take him down, clear 2 to 1.

I don't see how you can suspect me of being Drugs, with my vote where it is. I don't even see the need to suspect me for making an obvious bored joke about voting elsewhere for a sec. It doesn't change how hard I pushed for the last baddies' lynch.

If you are Drugs, where else would you put your vote? :P

EBWOP: *survived a kill

Why, would ending with -5 instead of -6 piss you off that much?

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Seriously though, if you're civ, leave your vote where it is.
The serious face in this marmot is strong.

I'd rather play it safe in case shenanigans happen. You have yet to accept my suggestion that the lynch could be redirected today, and I feel less confident then before about you being a civ right now.

Somebody survived from Drugs last night. That means somebody is drugged right now. No question about it.

Seriously though, if you're civ, leave your vote where it is.

Ok, I'm ready. Lynch that Russtifinko (please).

I'm not quite ready to end the day phase. :P

Ricochet wrote:"I'm gonna drug a player I can't night kill."

Sounds a bit counter-productive. He could have easily drugged And She Was and the role got lucky with the odds.

I'll be waiting to see how Russ behaves with his vote, at least.

linki: What Night 6?

Drugs has two options dude. He can drug a player to nightkill them, or he can drug a player and run the lynch-table. With as small as the game is now, Drugs does stand a chance at running the lynch, and we all need to be aware of that.

Drugs failed to nightkill somebody last night, so this is a plausible explanation.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Russtinko

Whatever, nothing to lose either way. Unfortunately, whoever Drugs is, there's a good chance he drugged Jimmy, and Jimmy might get lynched if his vote gets redircted.
Hmm, good point, although JJJ found it somehow unlikely for Drugs to have drugged Blind, since they could have figured him out from previous kill fails.

If they figured out who Blind is, then the only way to kill him is to lynch him, so they would do all they could to lynch Blind.

I just think we need to be prepared if mafia is not lynched today.

This is assuming that Jimmy is Blind of course, but I think it's the only possibility at this point.
