The Syndicate

I realize that no one here knows what collegiate thangs I be studying, and I probably should have answered that as well. I'm an English major. I've mostly concentrated on old things and classics. LOTS of Shakespeare, a fair amount of Ancient Greek and a good deal of medieval stuff. I am mostly inte...

Cobalt wrote:@Metalmarsh - why the sudden turn on me in the last couple phases?

How can something that has lasted/taken shape over "the last couple phases" be described as "sudden"??

Holy crow, what a cutie!

Great job, Simon!

Re: ninja: I point out earlier that I was getting a similar vibe from her posts as I got in RR (a game in which I caught her as a baddie). I have yet to do the work to determine if that has any merit, but I think her being in the Les MIS group is a concern, and I'm interested in looking closer at th...

Sloonei wrote:@Scotty, what do you think of that thing I said?

This is my favourite post in the whole game.

Reading up on these last few pages has solidified for me my earlier read on Cobalt (I don't think he's bad), and my mistrust of TB (I think she's bad and drowning. Her most recent post is seemingly just dripping with forced optimism and a fake air of "No worries! Aw shucks, I'm just happy to he...

I have not read most of the books mentioned here. I read for relaxation and fun. Not serious at all unless it is a garden or herb book. Then I can get quite serious and emotional while discussing corn or thyme. I do enjoy reading great autobiographies or a really scary book. I don't/will not read a...

It does make sense Canuck. Entirely. All I will say is that my personal feeling that Cobalt is bad is not based on his thread activity, and in that sense I actually would probably come around to your perspective. Except that I still think he is TGG's teammate because of TGG's quit - its the reason ...

@canuck - I know some players (like you) generally won't contribute a lot as a civ until numbers get a bit lower, and I don't know Cobalt at all. But this is the guy who was bragging about how many of the baddies he caught in his last game and how amazingly super-civ he was... But I think that's ki...

That said, I agree with Sloonei that calling him out is probably a reasonably effective method of goading him into actually participating

Earlier in my catch-up I was feeling that Cobalt was deffo bad, but the fact that he hasn't yet lived up to his promise to be more engaged actually makes me less suspicious of him (contrary to Sloonei's opposite thought). I just think the impetus to clean up your image and contribute is much strong...

Canuck, what do you mean about a link between Bubbles and me? It's honestly just a really little thing that I noticed, and is entirely dependent on my suspicion of Bubbles, and is so little that it's not worth pursuing unless and until Bubbles turns up bad. For now, my suspicion of you is no higher...

I was under the impression it was like the game therefore the pictures. When I play Guess Who, I always ask about the backstories of the characters like "Does his job make him happy?" I don't usually win. Hi. Please come to my house and play Guess Who with me because I do EXACTLY this and...

In other news, I agree that Bubbles is sounding rather scrambly, but there's also a link between her and Nutella that I want to look into if Bubbles were to turn up bad. I also think ninja needs looking at (it's about that time in the game where I inevitably suspect her for being blendy), but her pl...

Only West Side Story and wildhorn, other than the one you and scotty got. what's the gist of the west side story role? It sounds like a massacre. If I were a Jet, I'd shark the hell outta dodge. linki- I've deciphered the thing, Sloonei, but go ahead and give a whack at it. I think it's a good thin...

Only scotty, nutella, FZ and sloonei, you say... I would have thought the interests of the mafia would be in making sure they had someone on each side of the poll. Astute, my friend. Very astute. Do you think BOTH mafia teams made sure they had a hand in each pot, or do you think one of them might ...

This post pings me up, down, and sideways.

i do not know why there is an angry taunting face next to dragonucklehead's name. It is because your Freudian inner voice thinks canucklehead is a meanie. Not possible.

Not much point discussing Sloonei until he gets here. I totes disagree with this. Discussing people's thoughts of other people is always relevant, whether the person-in-question is around to refute/contribute or not. Getting other people's thoughts on Sloonei (or any player, really) is super import...

My paranoid side reallyreallyreally wants to jump on the "Sloonei's been recruited" wagon. Like REALLY. Mostly because I'm personally pretty convinced that the Wildhorn team has a recruitment/"corruption" mechanism, and because Sloonei is 100% exactly who I would recruit if I was...

Can we send in one suggestion only? Or can we send a couple?

A few controversial/discussion-worthy books you may want to consider include: - Mein Kampf - The Communist Manifesto -Pretty much any religious text -Anything by L. Ron Hubbard -Pretty much any book by a political commentator (Coulter, Krugman, etc.) - On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural S...

Also, I don't think that "everyone jumped on it". I did, and nutella said it was "interesting" (poking the lion, there nutella? :p ).......but I don't think anyone else even mentioned Epic's theory in their votes for G linki: Hmmmmmm.....I didn't vote in the night poll, so no ide...

I had figured out that the vote thing alternated so that they're changeable every other day, but I hadn't considered that it could be linked to one of the mafia teams. Interesting. And I'm not sure why it would be honestly. It's a theory without much evidence from epi, why is everyone jumping on it...

I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to join/keep up (I say, glancing stomach-droppingly at the stacks and stacks of books I need to read in order to get this chapter written), but I wanted to throw out there the thought that in my experience (and, for better or for worse, I've got a LOT of experience...

At this point, I would say one of the powers of Mafia 1 is to have changeable votes. I agree. And I think all of G-Man's "Oh noes! How will I make my spreadsheets with all this DASTARDLY VOTE CHANGING! I am so shocked that VOTE CHANGING EXISTS! I am unexpetedly inconvenienced by this VOTE CHAN...

Sorry I missed the vote! No excuse, just forgot.

Good job, LC hounders. Of the two, I would probably have vote G-Man, I haven't really been too convinced by any of the LC cases, but obviously I've been wrong. Whoops.

It's unfortunate what it did to poor Strunk though.

Honestly, I'll save you all the pain and just ask dom to find a replacement. Whoa! Where did this come from? My lighthearted joke about melodrama? Don't quit, Golden. It's just mafia, friend! Nah, people are not lighthearted about it. They genuinely want me and LC to let it go, you included, so let...

@canuck - I don't care whether I'm right or not, honestly. Go ahead and tell me what my fallacies are about LC. The most pertinent one I see is that you insist he's lying about feeling frustrated. That seems to be what keeps fueling LC's fire. Conversely, LC seems unwilling to accept that while you...

Awesome work on the sig digging, Sloonei. I've only glanced over those two posts so far because I can't devote my full attention atm, but on first pass it looks like lots of things to mull over and look into there. Should be good fodder for tomorrow's discussion.

LC, why are you calling me Splints? Is that a joke? If so, I missed it. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on, that's it. Two things: 1) Whackadoodle tinfoil hat theory time: What if LC and Golden have some sort of curse/posting challenge that they have to engage in an insane, over-the-top,...

I will say this to everyone not named LC as well. I don't expect any of you to read the whole back and forth between LC and I. You can if you want. I know that by having such a feud, you lose any influence you might have even by succinctly explaining why you think the other is bad. However, I'm rea...

Two things: 1) Whackadoodle tinfoil hat theory time: What if LC and Golden have some sort of curse/posting challenge that they have to engage in an insane, over-the-top, uber-melodramatic argument (we are in a Broadway-themed game, after all), with one of them winning some sort of prize (or one of t...

Tiny's self-vote is the most suspicious thing she's done in this game and I don't necessarily think she'd be a bad lynch today, but I feel awful about lynching her by taking advantage of her self-vote, as seems to be happening right now. It feels a lot different from SVS on Day 1 for a number of re...

Sloonei, why do you think inconsistency is a baddie marker? I find that people who are willing to change their minds, or who are uncertain about voting are much more likely to be civillians. Baddies tend to have an idea in their head about who they can place a "legit" vote on, and tend to ...

In this particular gunfight, I think I have to take the unpopular position and say that if only ONE of LC/Golden is civ, I happen to think it's more likely to be LC. I think it's possible that both are civ, and possible (but less likely, I think) that both are mafia. But who knows? Both these dudes ...

I think it's because you subbed in during the day, and G-Man subbed in at the start of the day, but I'm just guessing.

Thanks, Host! :P

G-Man/LC/TB/sig Interesting concept, I might do a readback on the four of them to see if that fits as a theory. Let's imagine a hypothetical world in which all these dudes are a team.

My fucking autocorrect has apparently been acquired by Disney.

I clearly meant "Linki", not that silly/childhood-destroying Hamlet-on-Safari movie.
