The Syndicate

Except I wasn't acting like a nut. But it's too easy.

MP, you've literally added a page since I started reading this evening! Slow down! :P

I just wanted to say that before I make a more substantial post. And also I'm here to talk things out for a bit, hooray! I'm definitely not inclined towards the zebra lynch, though - reminds me too much of my Day 1 mislynch in Futurama

GAHHHH STOP WITH THE LINKI

"Interrogation"? You mean this?

Are you the Process?

No.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, some thoughts. Reading the wiki and looking at the style of this game makes me want to play it for real, but I need a new computer fit for gaming for that, so I'll satisfy myself with some good ol' fashioned deduction and discussion of mechanics, woo! But first, thoughts on thoughts that have been said in my absence.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Lastly, for the idea that DrumBeats proposed regarding working "with the mafia" to eliminate The Process, I don't think worrying about this at this stage is healthy, since:
1) I don't know how we are supposed to effectively hunt for The Process at this time.
2) You can never "trust" the mafia enough to work with them on something.

Nonetheless, it does seem both factions have a mutual benefit in ridding the game of The Process, so I think inadvertently the mafia will be working with us on that matter. I don't think any specific attempt to work with them would be at all fruitful, unless we reach a certain point later in the game where we can somehow try to pinpoint The Process based on actual hunting procedures, and at that time we can re-open this discussion. But that's just my opinion.

I agree with this, mostly at the part of trusting the mafia at any point. I learned my lesson the hard way with trusting someone's "great idea" about working collaboratively in ENO mafia (the animals lost miserably for coming forward and revealing roles for the "good of everyone" ). It's a good idea in theory only if the mafia cooperates, but in the end, they're going to be out for themselves, regardless of having a common goal. Of course, this is also a reason to never leave Indys alone, but then I talk myself into a circle.

I also doubt Drumbeats would have proposed the voteswap if he were bad, so my voting choices are already narrowing down. Come on, other people, give me some more to work with.

LOL, I always see enthusiastic MP as the opposite. The red baddie lights go off when he's asking questions like this, but then again, I'm always inclined to keep an eye on the slippery sock. No actual ping except my gut, which is not enough to go off of at this point, so don't take that comment as such. Yet. I'd like to actually participate better in this game than I have in the last few games, and I believe I'm off to a good start.

How are you still confused by the mechanics? What's going on with you, zeebs? This is weird as shit.

Linki @ DrumBeats - Your plan, however, at its core, is to trust mafia to any extent, which is not viable. They already have a large team for a speed game with only 17 players. Again, part of the theory works, and I agree we need to keep a hell of an eye on the Process and prevent what we can, but trusting mafia to help civs is not gonna work for a civ win.

Woo, game starting on a weekend!
