The Syndicate

I try to help. I look out for everyone's best interests. And this is how I am treated.

When surrounded by those who seek to hurt me, I can only help so much. If I cannot help you now, my purpose is lost. Perhaps it is best for me to be lynched.

I will be voting for Made, as he masked his intent to join the Squadron-- he instead used his false admittance as grounds for speculation against me. Even after my death, I hope you will all see why this is dangerous, anti-Town behavior.

Enrique is a genius, and all mafia hosts should be like him.

Addendum-- Enrique, thank you for hosting this incredible game of Mafia. I would not be having this much fun if someone else were hosting this game.

@Made: Glad to hear you're interested in joining the Squadron. Even though we took a significant blow to our numbers, we are still glad to have you. To join, I need you to post the bold text that Dana and LC posted. This formality is very much necessary.

To others insinuating that I am being "weird": if I am being weird, I will wear that badge with honor. I sometimes feel as though I am the only one with all of our interests at heart. My motives are the general well-being of everyone in this town. If you disagree with this goal, feel free to vote me-- there is nothing I can do to help you.

linki-- sigh...

Ladies and gentlemen~

Dana and Long Con were good people. They believed in the most noble of causes: the elimination of the evil forces of Chaos that exist in this town. The fact that they were both targeted last night should prove to us all that there exist interests that oppose the town's goal of Order. I urge all of us to honor and avenge their deaths by heeding my words closely once more, for I have the power to guide us to the Light. Long live the Delta Squadron.

Two antagonists are still present in this game: boo and Epignosis. I will address each of them now.

boo has attempted to disrupt loyalty by verbally targeting and harassing Squadron members. As a result, these members were forced to spend their time and posts defending themselves instead of going on the offensive, fighting other foes. It also cluttered up discussion. Luckily, our town is still focused on Epignosis, the main enemy.

Epignosis has also engaged in verbal harassment, and his unfounded accusations have no place in an Orderly town. What needs to be said about him has already been spoken previously by other comrades. I will be voting for him.

Lastly-- has anyone been paying attention to Bass_the_Clever lately? He has not been giving Enrique the praise he deserves...

BTC, why do you not acknowledge that Enrique is the greatest Mafia host ever?

there are no Town interests

what are your motives

There is chaos, represented by the Plague. There is order, represented by the diligence Enrique puts into hosting his mafia games. The Town is interested in order.

Why did I give everyone information about this game?

This is why: because I would like the plague gone. This is about saving the town from the most dangerous mechanic that exists in the game. I think we can all agree that it's better to have one less gun pointed at you, and the Plague is a particularly large gun.

There are more secrets in this fine town. I cannot promise to deliver all of them to you-- indeed, some of them might be so complex that only our brilliant host Enrique could comprehend them-- but it is in my best interests to help you. I have seen the allegations against my integrity, and though obviously I am hurt, it is all of us that should be afraid-- because these allegations perpetuate the mindset that information should be kept secret. Let us help one another, for the benefit of fighting the common enemy.

In the interest of keeping this town cooperative, I am voting for boo. I see that the other members of Delta Squadron have done the same-- I approve of these actions. I will formally commend my new comrades Dana and Long Con for joining the squadron-- which I am grateful for. I would also like to extend an invitation to G-Man-- if you choose to join us, you will be welcomed with open arms.

Now, to comment on other matters. Epignosis is far too confident in his "read" on Bullzeye for my liking. Betting one's life on certain information is one thing, but the stakes he is putting up are far too high. Other elements are at play here. In response to this, I, as the leader of Delta Squadron, would like to formally condemn Epignosis for working against Town interests. I will also call upon Squadron members, as well as any other civilians who support our cause, to protect Bullzeye. He must stay alive.

No deadline.

Enrique is a baller.

Quick addendum: Enrique is a God and an incredible host. May we all be blessed by more mafia games hosted by him.

Long Con wrote:Will Delta Squadron have the goal of taking out alliances? Any alliance I'm not a part of is the most serious threat to my win condition that I can think of.

We do not eliminate other alliances for the sake of eliminating alliances. However, f a certain alliance declares itself as an enemy of the Squadron, or works against Squadron interests, we may have no choice but to attack.

Have two allegiances at your own risk. We can only protect you if you serve the Squadron.

The rules are that I direct the actions of the Squadron. We act as one unit, stronger together than apart. Of course, if you disagree with my leadership, you are free to leave the Squadron... at your own risk. It's a dangerous world out there.

I cannot speak for game elements that the masterful host Enrique has placed in this game, as there are secrets that even I know not of.

Before I begin, I would like to pose a question to you:

How many friends do you have in this town? And how many enemies?

Consider it deeply. Consider these facts: some of you have friends. All of you have enemies. For those without friends, the tide works against you. It may not look like it now, but an uphill battle awaits, and those without allies will quickly be swept away in the coming days.

I wish to give all of you an equal opportunity of success. It is in this spirit of fairness and equality that I am now announcing the launch of

OPERATION: DELTA SQUADRON


Many of us are unsure of who to vote for in today's lynch. With merely idle chatter to base our opinions on, some of us are even proposing to vote based on the alphabetical order of names! Surely there exists a solution with a basis in fairness and equality.

Indeed, such a solution exists. It is quite simple. Starting now, any and all of you are welcome to join the delta squadron. To officially gain entry, simply include the following in any of your posts, in boldface, as such:

I officially join Nisani's Delta Squadron. Praise go to Enrique, the greatest host ever.

Today, members of Delta Squadron will simply vote for players who have not joined the Delta Squadron. This ensures that those with no interest in cooperation will be removed from the game.

Please note that Delta Squadron membership is a privelege, not a right, and anyone who breaks the sacred rules of the Delta Squadron may be expelled.

I trust that the fine members of this town will make the right decision.

CITIZENS OF MAFIA LAND

Dark days lie ahead. It pains me to say what I am about to say, though I must speak it, because it is the truth~~

Not all of you will come out of this alive.

It's true, some of us will die. We cannot control or push back the inexorable wave of death that looms over us all. But we, together as a united town, can work to redirect our votes towards our common enemy. Most of you reading this are among the righteous, the innocent. Others are not. You know who you are.

To the righteous-- if you want to live, heed my words closely, for there are secrets in this game that I have become privy to. Behold, a snippet information shall be revealed hitherto:

There exist three alliances in this game. Yes, three!

The first alliance is the one you are all aware of. The Team, defined as such by Enrique in the original post. They are neither good nor evil, and have the potential to work against us-- unless one or both of them are in the second alliance:

The second alliance is the secret Team, containing three members, one of which is the Plague. Members of this team are immune to the plague and have the purpose of spreading it. We must find members of the secret team and cast them out, for they work directly against our goals.

The third alliance is that which you and I are most likely a part of-- the innocent townies. Because of this, I ask that we set aside our current petty conflicts and fight the Agents of the Plague.

Godspeed, townsmen. God bless you. And God bless Enrique.
