The Syndicate

Thanks for hosting Mongoose. You kept the game moving very well.

I think that's the first time I've ever been killed by both the baddie and the ninja. *giggles*

Great job goosey! This is a very interesting concept. I wonder how it would have worked if I'd have let myself get lynched. I thought about briefly voting myself on day 1 when I was getting votes.

In hindsight, it would have done wonders I think. I went with llama because it seemed clear to me that he was Lars and could double-vote. I really couldn't have gotten any luckier with the players lynched though. I won based on circumstance more than anything.

Good game everyone. I did get a lucky break at the beginning, but I didn't have time to hop on, so it wasn't just an act of ignorance. Sorry bea, it seems you died twice in this game. I also felt there were various ways I could have gone about the night phase, but since everyone was silent, I'd call too much attention on myself if I talked too much. But I think I was able to leave the slight impression that I was pro-town. Dunno how well it worked.

Sorry, but you were late to your own party.

Well, we're down to the wire now, but we can still make it happen.

I think so. I voted him, but this may help us learn something depending on his role.

MattMattMatty, anything to say? We need your voice here!

bea wrote:I'd also like to hear from both of them before I vote, because - hellz bells Marsh - you could have killed llama. Don't think I'm not also thinking that as well.

Likewise on the others. Naturally, we need everyone's input.

I'm still crunching possibilities in my head, which I'll probably end up sleeping on. I'm possibly thinking Wombat, but that's not a very strong FOS. I think it was more circumstantial than anything else that he had voted MR on that lynch. But Llama had voted him before he switched to MR for the lynch.

As for Matty, I don't get the whole thing about me being quiet, as if I was the only one. He hasn't said much yesterday or today for that matter. Quite the behavior for someone who's expecting more from me.

And of course I haven't ruled you out bea, but I'm getting the strongest town vibes from you. But that very well could just be your playing style. If you try a random vote again today, I'm voting you without question.

Luckily, there wasn't that much to read.

MM works, or Marsh, I'll notice those easiest

There's only one way MR could have died, and that's because of Lars Nykvist's role of getting the possibility of a double vote. So that means Wombat or llama had that role, and based on llama's statement about switching, I believe it was him. Yes Llama originally suggested a no lynch, but he also apologized to MR after he voted, possibly insinuating MR was going to die. Llama also clarified that a tie would result in a no lynch, so there's more info to back that theory up.

Sorry, MR.

There's the other possibility that Wombat has the aforementioned role, but I don't believe that is the case based on the above information.

So - I reread the thread. (I know - it took foreeeeever. ) And in this kinda bothers me.

Metalmarsh was waaaay more vocal on the last page than I was. How is that suspiciously quiet?

I'd say you're both correct about Day 1. I was active, but I hadn't really offered anything productive.

bea wrote:also - I have pretty much tonight and first thing tomorrow morning, I'll have to vote before work as the poll ends during my lunch rush. Fair warning has been given.

I have a little bit of time this evening and in the morning as well.

thellama73 wrote:Aw man.

Sorry to see you go llama. I think I realized why you switched your vote in the end yesterday.

That... was an interesting story Mongoose.

bea wrote:how do we feel about talking at night? In a game this small and this fast, I can't see any practical reason to avoid it outside of the last minute PM by our one baddie.

I do think though it might be a risk I'm willing to take. I can't see any way around talking at night and still making an informed decision.

thoughts? Anyone?

I think it's a necessity, then again, I'm not sure I see why we shouldn't talk at night.

Another facet of mafia I'm not used to. Where I've played, typically the thread is shut down at night from discussion.

bea wrote: I get that thinking - and was coming back to change my vote before time ran out - but I have to ask, if you were trying to avoid Metalmarsh from being killed, why wouldn't you have switched your vote to me or AP - we were the ones that voted him after all...

I'm happy to talk at night. I had to make a quick decision once I decided to change my vote, and I felt like I was getting a bit of a bad "look how helpful I am" vibe from MR. I am pretty upset about how wrong I was though.

That's fair enough - what do you think of my point about AP and his fairly lame reason for voting MetalMarsh? I know my random was lame but AP said he did it because MM was too quiet - and a look at page one says that he was anything but quiet.

He'd not checked in for the vote before I'd posted, and it was a fairly lame reason, but day 1 votes are always lame.

Day 1 votes might be all we have to go off of, that, and maybe a particularly strong read or two.

thellama73 wrote:Changing my vote for reasons which are my own.

Sorry, MR.

Why did you switch your vote then, care to share? Is it because you wanted someone lynched?

I'm really sorry about missing the deadline everyone. Some things came up this morning, and I didn't have time to hop online. I'll be going back to read now.

Your avatar represents your blood-thirsty image well.

I think you've got the wrong game.
This micromafia requires no rhyme.
We've got to think and move quickly
Before we run out of time!

I think I get what you're saying, but it seems you're you guaranteeing a civilian death today?

I can only guarantee that 5/6 of the players are civs, which means it's nearly certain we don't get the baddie first off. I could be wrong, though. We one a game in one lynch before.

Reminder: You have a little over an hour to get your 15 words to me if you would like to participate in the optional Special Event.

Sent!

And yes llama, I'm ready to get serious now.

Also, your signature is too cute, it's distracting.
