The Syndicate

I look forward to seeing the endgame details from MR

Woo hoo, go us!

Please be town Bloop...

Thx for forgetting about me :'(

I think it's just because you're off the poll, Dana (or at least that's how I would see it)

Voting MP. The logic with the harbor voting and the missed/inability to kill can't be ignored. Bloop.

If she did, then I would bet she's Tony.

I don't know if she did or not because she didn't state so in a post, from what I saw.

Just to set the record straight because it's driving me nuts reading it over and over, I absolutely voted for wet cement :P Throwing bodies into a body of water is a horrible idea, and I would never pick it. Proof:

I promise I don't dispose of bodies for a living. Promise.

Also, I don't even understand what Made is trying to argue here, but it sure is amusing. Logic be damned.

Coupla things:

1) Voting for Made. Not rehashing why. I hate that I keep being near the tail end of the votes, but hey, such is life and no time at work to make a decent response earlier in the day. Alas.
2) FYI, Made (and some others), I'm a lady Blooper/Squid, good sir I find the gender mix-ups rather amusing in this game, but I totally understand the confusion.
3) Don't mistake my quietness for lack of interest I'm rather quiet in any game I play, but I thoroughly enjoy mafia and have always been more of a listener/reader than a talker (here and in real life).

@Made - LOL here it is

Plus, Keterman has been making a genuine (or seemingly genuine) effort to scum hunt.

Fair enough. I vote Made.

lol this kid...also just noticed this...

Oh, Made. You were first on my list, but I waited a bit to see what would happen until I realized there were only two of us (Dana and I) left when MP prodded us to vote to end the night early (I forgot how few of us there are left!). I stated my suspicion earlier, and I wasn't gonna vote Bullz because I didn't feel as sure about him as I did about you. Still not sure about him, but you still look bad to me, Made. May God have mercy on your soul.

For the record, this game gets more and more confusing every day but I kinda like it

DAMN FINALLY I CAN GET ON (my Internet decides to crap out on the busiest day of the thread, go figure But it's back now!)

So much has happened that I don't even know how to respond to it all. Made definitely looks like he's floundering under pressure, and yes, he's been rather silly throughout the game, but not this silly. There doesn't seem to be much consensus on who is bad, except many people are looking at Made, and some are looking at Dana, and some are claiming to look at Dana but not really? Jesus. I'm inclined to agree with the "Made is bad" camp. A lot of curse accusations/assumptions as well, but the ones that have been claimed today don't look much like the curses I've seen before. People lie, lie, LIE and I'm a sucker for it, so I'll go against my instincts and assume the worst along those lines. But Made is definitely the most suspect of all to me right now, unless something crazy happens. Like, batshit crazy. I don't even know if any of that made sense, but oh well. Anything can be clarified if necessary.

Also...Made, that is an adorable kitty! Did I mention I'm also a sucker for cats? And @SVS, you know how I love post-mortem pictures

What the actual fuck happened to this thread

But Tony and Gary aren't Sally!

Ah, you were referring to that specific part. I see your point. However, it also says that the bodies hidden in the foundation were "never found," which is a rather good selling point for wet cement, if you're going by Bullz's thoughts

Made wrote:

Bullzeye wrote:Okay so I'll actually overthink the poll and discuss each option in terms of what they actually were. This will majorly spoil series 1 so if anyone has been tempted to watch the show, be careful reading on.

Gary (insignificant redshirt douchebag) gets stuffed in a locker, then he and Tony are buried underneath an overpass before being moved to the foundations of some sort of building - I don't remember what it was but it was being built where the bodies were buried. Nobody would ever find them. Simon stuffed Sally in a freezer at first and when the rest of the gang find out he'd killed her they throw the freezer into the harbour. Since Canuck was Sally and the poll comes after her death I'm thinking one of the Sally related options is probably a good call but like I say this could be overthinking.

Well shit, I majorly fucked up... could of swore i read the cement was one of the options here, my bad....everyone vote harbor probably...

I imagine the building foundations part would include wet cement.

Wet cement makes the most sense, although I'd imagine it would be a rather messy and tedious business However, the bodies could be more easily found in a locker, a cooler (mmm meatsicle), or the water. Wet cement it is!

I promise I don't dispose of bodies for a living. Promise.

@Bullz - Overthinking is good (I do it all the time, even if I'm in a constant state of stress!), and this info is helpful (or at least appears to be so, as I know nothing about the show). I started watching the show yesterday, but not sure if I'll continue. Should I? I like sci-fi, Brits, and goofy stuff, but I'm not sure of the direction the show will take.

First three series are awesome. It's kinda sci-fi, very funny, sort of an original take on the whole superhero thing since the gang are kinda heroes without trying to be or wanting to be and they're the last people you'd expect to see in that kind of position. A lot of the powers in the show aren't the typical sort of thing you'd expect and some are quite inventive like the guy who can control cheese. There's also some pretty weird stuff that happens... I think it was a great show personally. Picked up the slack when Skins (another British show on the same channel with a similar demographic) started to be awful.

All right, I'll continue it! Just as work/school starts again Go me!

While I appreciate it (thanks!) it does strike me as being a little on the wishy-washy/don't take too strong a stance on anything/hedging carefully side.

Funny you're calling me wishy-washy, but I've voted for you in the last two lynches. My opinions and feelings about you in this game haven't changed, and FINALLY others are jumping in. Third time's a charm

Yikes, sorry for being away. Yesterday afternoon and today were busier than I thought, and the school likes to block mafia when there are too many bad words on the screen :P Back to work fun!

So, thoughts. Canuck's not off my radar, but the conversations between Made and SVS have caught my eye more, especially most recently. And then this:

Made wrote:Alright, Keterman, I've been on the S~V~S ship since day 0. Even if SVS is mafia, noone belives the argument at this point, and it's a waste of a vote to try to go after her with no support.

Why are you giving up so easily if you claim you're gung-ho on the SVS ship? Wouldn't it be better to vote for someone you seem so sure is bad, than to actually waste your vote on someone you weren't as sure about? Or sure about at all? It's still early. I understand what you're saying with SVS, but I also understand why people voted for Sorsha (or at least why I did; I can't read minds). You've said this point over and over. The issue is you haven't brought anything new about her since the Day 1 deal, yet you have seemed so very, very sure about SVS up until this point. What changed?

I'm going in for sewing lessons again, so I'll need to vote now (my mom/teacher has somewhere to be soon). I see what people are saying about Boogs, but my suspicions of Canuck are stronger at this point, and I'll stay consistent. I don't like Boogs' self vote (I don't like anyone's self vote, really), but I've seen this happen to Boogs a lot in other games, so I'll give him a chance. This time.

More posting later when I have time!

What "new" material would you like me to add? What "new" points would you like me to make?


I'm mean, I'm always happy to start inventing shit and making stuff up to keep it interesting for you, but usually when I'm providing explanations to multiple people for the same event, I'm not really focused on keeping it fresh......I'm pretty sure that's called lying and is generally frowned upon in polite society.

Do you have any suspicions (new or already stated by others) at this point? Or hunches? Or crazy gut feelings about anything? I think that's what people (or at least I) are trying to get at, since you've discussed and have been asked to discuss the reasons for your particular gameplay style (I do appreciate that you've been addressing my and others' concerns!)

My apologies for the low posting. Quite an interesting game so far. A belated RIP Hedge, and RIPIYWG nutella.

Interesting points brought up about several people. My feelings haven't changed much about Canuck, in that although SHE ( ) has been defending herself, it's really the same points rehashed with nothing new. Eloh makes a good point - a lot of discussion of gameplay, but not a lot of discussion of her suspicions.

I'll have to re-read Boogs; to me, his Sorsha "save" aftermath reads a bit forced, but he could have been genuinely trying to save her. Could have. Maybe.

And sure, it might be hypocritical, seeing as I tend to be quiet, but I'd like to see more from Dana and Made (even if Made is literally hard to read. Like, I'm having trouble deciphering his thoughts through the jargon).

And now, Blooper is going to learn to sew! I hope the tentacles don't get in the way too much

I'm going ahead and voting Canuck. I discussed my reasons beforehand, and I'd like to enjoy my last weekday off at the pool for a bit

Damn, Epi can't stay alive for long lately RIP

I don't have too many particularly strong feelings towards anyone at the moment, but Canuck's recent posts (save the pee one, which made me lol) have pinged me. I find it weird when people forget to vote and then turn around and almost immediately point fingers at those who did vote (especially when she also says she would have randomized rather than pick a side). Also, there are too many instances of posting before fact checking for my taste. I understand grad school is stupid busy (trust me, I know!), but it would be better to post less with more thought than the opposite. She appears too floundering in response to people pointing these things out and blames it on either "laziness" or "work." Hmmm...Anyone else have thoughts?

@SVS - I'm also curious as to Made's adamant suspicion of you, yet silence afterward. He hasn't posted since Tuesday.

@Eloh:

As I was saying.....RIP Epi. He rarely (if ever) wins civ b/c baddies always kill him off. Maybe he was onto something or the baddies thought we would think he's onto something.

What in particular do you think he was onto that you're pondering?

I have to disagree. When I tell anyone about Mafia they look at me blankly and use the word nerd or dork. My older brother actually said, "Tasha, I thought you were the cool one."

S~V~S wrote:I thought I made that clear, I didn't think hr was being silly I thought he had baddie NTSC with nutella to be precise.

Fair enough. I appreciate your responses, despite your bus-riding!

Sorsha's self-vote, defeatist attitude, and the transparency issue are pinging me more in light of your explanations, SVS (somehow, I don't think you'd be that sloppy on day 0 if you were a baddie, but it wasn't going to be ignored :P).

S~V~S wrote:Have I seemed subtly evasive to anyone else?

Linki I said tonight, like after work, but apparently I Am subtly evasive and taking votes for not defending a day zero vote that was a fun thing. What in his post would you like me to address? Your words, on a bus Lol.

Sorry you're in such an inconvenient place to respond! My motion sickness would never allow me to do so, so kudos to you! Some of what he states is the first day puppy vote, which you've addressed many times. He then claims you are being hypocritical later on in the post by accusing Made for voting for nutella for "knowing what's up," even though you had voted for Sorsha for a vague, "silly" reason as well. I'd just like to know why you think it's odd for someone to think your behavior is off with your Day 0 vote, when you seem to find the same behavior in someone else to be lynch-worthy. My apologies if you've explained this before, but I didn't catch the explanation if you went through it in detail.

S~V~S wrote:Certainly, I have been following the thread, and I doubt she is bad, I don't ever recall her making risky moves at the beginning of games when bad, and I have probably played more games with her than i have with anyone else in this thtead. I think she was trying to have gun, and is frustrated. But I don't always read her well, and could be wrong.

Since there was a push in my direction earlier, I would not be surprised to see a flurry of votes for me towards the end. I am gonna hold my vote until closer to the end in case I need to save myself.

Linki, Blooper, you really think my explanation of my vote is unreasonable?

No, the vote itself I understood (though I still think was odd :P). You had just mentioned earlier today that you were going to make a bigger post in response to Keterman's accusations earlier and I wanted to see that.

It's probably either SVS or Sorsha for me, especially in light of the recent defeatist responses from Sorsha (and also things others have said that I won't rehash in detail, e.g., being too eager to claim transparency, etc.). I could chalk it up to pure frustration and work, or to a baddie not knowing what else to say in her defense. SVS said she'd be back to give a more thorough defense regarding Keterman's comments, so I'd like to wait a bit for that. However, I do think her behavior is rather...different in this game, as I've stated before. Not sure what that necessarily means alignment-wise, but I'm choosing not to ignore it and see how it plays out in the last bits of the Day.

@DH - You said Hedgeowl and Boogs were also possibilities for a vote. Can you elaborate?

I had mentioned that I thought SVS's early Day 0 vote (and other early votes) was/were odd (and now especially considering this observation...), but she tacked it up to "having fun" on Day 0. From my little experience, SVS usually takes a bit more time and thought before voting, but she's had different alignments with the same calculated voting style, so don't really know what to make of it alignment-wise besides its being plainly unusual behavior. And wow to Keterman's accusations - definitely something to ponder...I'm eager to see what SVS has to say in response

I think my vote will go to DH (I would consider SVS too, but she says she doesn't want the role, so I'll let her be). He calls people out and says what he wants or needs to be said. Maybe it's my bias in the classroom (because these strategies work rather well for me ), but I've always appreciated a leader who could do these things. His posts also amuse me so.

And dear God, this thread just got very...interesting

Besides, y'know, leading people.

I myself am partial to kitties (just got back to mine today!), though I'm happy to play with a puppy that someone else takes home and cleans up after

But I digress. I'm not leaning towards the overly eager, as some people have stated. And people are voting rather early for a poll that ends on Monday...hmmm...I will take more time to think about who would be best. I wonder what being the leader entails?
