The Syndicate

Where's my Newt banner?

Epignosis wrote: Seriously, I think the issue is more that, in a full game, there's 48 hours to talk, but many people (mostly civilians) will wait until the last few hours to "catch up" and vote. These people have not allowed themselves the luxury of processing and digesting the information. Then what ends up happening is that they vote between the two (or three) people who have the most votes (or self vote- even worse) and call it a day. They're okay because it isn't them.

There's one by-product of having to survive as a civvie to win. Because civvies are trying to fly under the radar, they blend in with the baddies. It should be the other way around.

Good game guys. Another baddie win, lol.

I am dead and distraught.

Rezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Have we reached the intermission yet?

Hey look at that. I still have more posts in this game than each of the living players left.

So, um, where's my rezz?

For anyone interested in a good Holy Grail quiz.

Oh, and rez please.

I also dislike it when you're wrong.

LoRab.

Okay you did make one post about a ping, but since the context wasn't there, I did not notice it as I reread.

The rest of your posts are questions/disagreements/interactions. Those are different. Those are not suspicions.

And about my vote for you, it's a strategy I've used and seen before, though not so much on this site. Placing a vote on someone is an easy way to get there attention when you want it, and that was all I wanted at the time.

Change of plans, I'm voting juliets. No need for extra speculation.

Bea's and Hedgeowl's votes at the very end deserve looking into, especially Bea.

And I believe y'all should look extra hard at llama tomorrow.

Linki: hold on

nijuukyugou wrote:Okay, back. Whew. Whirlwind today in the world of Real Life, and catching a brief moment before more guests arrive. SO.

Firstly, a belated RIP God (sorry about that, Lord/SVS - I really did think you were bad!) and RIP BWT.

Secondly, I've been seeing posts about Mongoose giving people baddie vibes throughout the game, but I don't see it. Her gameplay seems fairly normal to me, but perhaps I haven't played with her enough to know? I don't see her "red herring" comment to be out of the blue or a BTSC slip-up, as people are saying, although I would like to know more about what she's trying to say (but perhaps she just...can't? Possibility). I don't intend to put my vote there.

Out of the people on the list today, I think LC and MM are most likely to be bad that I can see. LC pinged me with the sudden outburst at llama for his BTSC/Chatzy comment and using that particular instance as his apparent time to go after him. He claims he's been after him under the radar since the beginning, but I didn't see it (probably because it was "under the radar," but if you feel it, say it). As for MM, I re-read him (and lordy, was it a re-read...so many posts :P ) and while in the beginning I wasn't seeing much wrong, especially with what people were using against him (the French comment, the Epi comments, etc., which I found relatively normal), his final adamant Made vote disturbed me because he had a pretty good reason to believe he was Lancelot, and said so, but still voted for him. LC did the same thing. Yeah, y'all weren't 100% sure, but you had good reason to believe he had a definite Civ role over others on the poll.

And now, MM claims he's not worried about being lynched. That's weird. That's really weird. Is it protection? Or assuming that people won't bother to vote for you? I'm going with MM.

And the amazing disappearing Blooper performs her tricks again, playing the good Party Host until later tonight. POOF!

Also, time for more beer. Oh so much more beer.

If I had time to try and save Made, I would have. Unfortunately, Made had more than 10 votes at the time, I had no free time to dedicate, and the day was almost over. Just too many forces going against me on that one.

Of course I'm worried I'll be lynched, but I'm not afraid of it happening, if you get my drift.

thellama73 wrote:Right, I have to go out so I am voting now. MetalMarsh's latest posts appealing to me for opinions and claiming he isn't scared of being lynched make me feel nervous about him, and I think Mongoose is unlikely to be bad, so I will vote for MM.

And what about those two votes for me right there at the end of the day. Do those make you feel nervous?

Btw, I'm voting Mongoose for obvious reasons. Sorry Mongoose.

Now that's not fair. I haven't been on since then.

And as I said before, I wanted an answer from LoRab. I had asked before, and she didn't answer, so I knew a vote might get her attention more.
No, you didn't. I just read through all of your posts since I replaced in and do not see a post where you asked me. If I'm missing it, please link to where you asked me before.

Unless maybe you asked your teammates in BTSC why they thought I might suspect you?
My apologies, I did not remember correctly what I posted. This was all I had said.
If you meant that as a question or clarification, it really did not read that way. I'm still not sure why you say at the beginning of the lynch that I had never stated why I suspected you.

Probably because you never did, at least not before I asked today.

Long Con wrote:MM, I think Lorab being concerned about you voting for her would happen if she were Civvie of baddie. You know?

I don't understand what you're saying here.

thellama73 wrote:I find it odd that MM chose me to solicit an opinion (ostensibly a defense) from. As someone who has a good chance of being lynched tomorrow (and would flip most resolutely civ), I expect MM thinks a vote of confidence from me would secure his survival.

I'll be honest, I have not been particularly suspicious of MM this game until this question, which rings all sorts of alarm bells for me.

Sorry for the multiple posts.

I want your opinion because I haven't really gotten anything from you directly game, but maybe that was because of your read on me. I'm also trying to gauge your responses as well because I have grown very suspicious of you ever since Made was lynched.

I'm also not afraid of being lynched, so I'm trying to get as much reaction and interaction as I can if it were to happen.

What would you like me to ay about you? What would you like me to call you out on?

Acknowledge me or I'll feel sad.

But really, do you recall the allusion I made about a scummy player possibly being French? That's what I was referring to specifically.

LoRab wrote:Also, reading through your posts, I also notice that you agree with and support Llama an awful lot. Because I know her style pretty well, I'm trusting SVS on what she says about Llama being bad. Which makes me suspect you all the more.

And you have what seems like a lot of focus on baddies and BTSC--not in a "I find these people suspicious" way that would make sense, but in a speculation kind of way, that makes it look like you're trying to appear like you don't know information that you actually do know.

That said, the Mongoose red herring stuff is also really weird, so I'm suspecting her, as well.

Except for the vote on LC yesterday, it was mostly circumstantial. You will also notice that I have disagreed with him far more than I have actually agreed with him. Given the choice, I would be voting him today.

Don't expect that my vote will stay on you. I will change it, I just don't know who I'm changing it to yet. Maybe that's what you're so worried about right now?

And to the points you made, I don't really have anything else to say, except that it's a movie I know well, and I've had fun making allusions to the movie in my posts.

I do want llama's view on this. He seems to have deliberately avoided talking about it, or about me in general for that matter. Llama usually calls me out on something before now in games.

Linki: I left my computer to go help my friend out with some things yesterday, and eventually got more sidetracked.

Okay, let's discuss my comment about the French again, shall we? Here is the important parts.

Seems like a reasonable plan. Based on today's poll I think I'm going to revisit my suspicions of JC and MM and probably vote for one of them unless something else comes up.
I knew someone had brought up juliets before and I couldn't remember if it was you or bwt, but I was trying to find it again last lynch to revisit those points on her. I'm undecided on MM. Sometimes I think he is making a lot of sense. Other times I feel he is being blendy and is reminding me of how he played in the Hobbit. I too want to look closer at him.

I've actually felt very unblendy this game, but if you insist. Look all you want, but no touching please.

Linki: who cares, you can't be lynched today.

I've stated before why. Partly the French comment, and even more your reactions to being called out for it. Also, your comment about knowing soon enough about Epi.

In retrospect, you've also had some odd posts about baddies and BTSC and whether they have it or not (it's come up a couple of different times in your comments), which just raises my eyebrow.

Also: she.

And is there any reason you suspect me other than the fact that I'm suspicious of you?

I never said I was suspicious of you. It was merely a pressure vote.

But how convenient of llama to decid to vote a quiet player moments after I voted you, who happens to be a quiet player.

fingersplints wrote:RIP bwt ;(

I don't like the limited poll options, but I wasn't around to help with the competition anyways so I guess I can't complain too much about being on the losing side.

I was around, but I didn't perform very well.

My vote is going on LoRab for now, at least until he/she tells me why he/she is suspicious of me.

Well, maybe you all shouldn't have ignored my post.

RIP, S~V~S, sorry I was after you for most of the game, I did back off when it was obvious you were God. I'm assuming the secret part of your role is something that led you to believe that Llama is bad. I promise to try again to lynch him in your holy name.

We should have lynched you instead.

LoRab wrote:Anyone else wondering if mongoose has been cursed to defend llama?
I was just thinking about that. Her posts seem...odd. Like contrived.

You may or may not be right. I just don't feel like voting either way on this wagon, partially because I'm torn, and partially because of this possibility of a curse. If it's true, I'd rather stay away from this fight. Also, since I've seen curses force the cursed to have a minimum post count for the day, I think that explains Mongoose's sudden explosion of activity.

I'm voting LC, and trusting llama on this one. I wish I had more time to deliberate other prospects.

While we're at it, let's look at yours and SVS's vote records.

SVS

Day 1 - Place the 10th vote on MP - He flipped was an indy. Good deal.
Day 2 - Placed the first vote on Made - He would have been lynched, but AP took the hit.
Day 3 - Placed the third vote on MR - Lynched and flipped a civ.
Day 4 - Placed the first vote on Made - He was lynched, flipped civ.
Day 5 - Voting llama, I think for self-preservation.

Looking at these votes, she votes early, and votes popular targets. It seems as though she goes after the easy lynches, the key word being 'seems'. Made's been a popular subject since the very beginning. MP was a nice bandwagon. MR and llama became popular targets on Days 3 and 5.

llama

Day 1 - First vote on Made.
Day 2 - no vote, due to silencing I believe
Day 3 - First vote on Made.
Day 4 - Third vote on Made.
Day 5 - First vote on SVS.

Consistancy, any llama's primary virtue. llama dogged the hell out of Made (as did I a bit), and I think that is what's coming back to bite him more than anything else.

S~V~S wrote:If I am trying to save myself I am doing a pisspoor job.

What?

Linki: llama, I completely agree about analyzing vote record. But about the conclusion you've come to, I will completely disagree. What do you think about my last point on LC's Day 4 vote?
