The Syndicate

I actually really don't. The scary thing is a civvie/civvie win is still possible if the coin flips a certain way.

I really hope I don't have to decide the ending of this game with a coin flip, lol.

I can't even blame the baddies, they had their reasons every time, but from the civvie side it's just ridiculous. You look at every player that got nightkilled and the list is nearly identical to every civvie that played (except Typhoony, lol). How can a game allow that? Seriously, this shouldn't be possible. I don't care if they're good at what they're doing or not, there is no game without civvies. I've been optimistic the whole time that somebody would catch on to anything. Somebody came up with a fake role for Made and everybody just went with it and it was never brought up again. Ekeknat nearly lost his mind hitting the same point over and over, but nope, playing is too hard and once that player's gone we're back at square one.

I don't want to sound too harsh. I know SD for example has been present most of the time, but it's frustrating when nobody generates any content. There's nothing to talk about. Nobody bothers. Sometimes they do for a day or two, and then just disappear again. Games like this are literally unplayable, there was never going to be another outcome different to a baddie win. In hindsight, this is exactly how I won Pet Sounds Mafia. Of five games I've been involved in the last year, two had no civvie players, two I didn't follow after I died, and Star Wars I did for a bit but I think it ended just fine?

It feels silly to rant about something as insignificant as online mafia games, especially when I don't even play a lot, but like jeez some people are actually making an effort.

I also want to say, I'm not unhappy with the civs for not winning. I'm unhappy that it took the baddies no effort at all to coast to the end. How could they not win if they killed every single player that was speaking up at all?

lol instead they lynched the one player that everyone who was already dead knew had to be a civvie. I don't really blame them for lynching BR, baddies are scary, but everything after you died has been so lousy.

And people blame it on game mechanics a lot, but honestly now that I'm seeing it from this point of view, the civvies deserve it. At least in this specific instance. They've had every chance to win but they won't even play.

Two of the three baddies got outed a week ago ffs.

Today is pretty much just to determine whether Coq Civvies win or not.

edit: oops spoilers

I can't wait to pull the trigger on this game.

Post requirements for Day 9 will be... a bit more demanding.

Definitely not playing.

That whole thing when somebody made up a role for Made and the rest of the thread just went with it... it was very confusing.

Everyone in the game is so clueless it actually makes me wonder if they're playing at all.

The baddies are so obvious it actually hurts to watch

I'm rooting for him.

I forgot all the dead players are here and outed. Yes, there is only one Coq civvie left But they still carry a great responsibility.

It's really down to the Coq civvies, but I don't think they'll be too happy about the way they got played today lol.

If the civs wisen the hell up today, they can still win, and I actually think they might.

This could be a really tight ending. It damn better be.

... so Dana and ekeknat are the only people who read Detective Dullight's role.

eesh lol

Typhoony wrote:Hey Enrique, what happens if there are 3 Gay baddiesleft and like 1 Gay civ and a Coq civ? Will the baddies get the win or will they have to eliminate the last Gay civ?

Eliminate, this is a fight to the end.

This is depressing.

eesh wouldn't that be something

Not quite gay prostitution, but how about transexual promiscuity? I like this one.

Hm yeah I always thought of it as a couple of (heterosexual) crossdressers, so you'd have the male singer wearing lipstick and RR wearing a moustache or whatever. But yeah, it's probably ambiguous because the interpretation doesn't matter and all you're supposed to get is that they're having fun roleplaying.

Doesn't the song use female pronouns? I'm not sure actually but I always assumed that.

Don't take it the wrong way btw, you guys were great too I was just hoping for a tighter fight The Gay Parade baddies are having it too easy.

Typhoony wrote:Enrique are you willing to say what happens to a player if they suck Mimi's finger?
Does Mimi learn their role? Do their votes against them not count or something?

Hmm I guess there's no reason to hide it here.

Typhoony wrote:Also Enrique, Spacedaisy did not vote in yesterday's poll but she doesn't get a vote against her.

What's up with that? :P

It's the first time she misses the poll. She usually votes at the very last second, so she's been close, but this is the first time she actually misses it. Both Made and BR missed Day 1 as well so I'm punishing them now.

Sure SVS, anything you wanna say.

Yeahh that mechanic didn't quite pay off

I love it when things go well for a player. It's boring to just be making decisions with little effect on you, but once they actually catch on and develop an informed strategy, it's just really exciting to see it unfold and be counteracted by other players.

The poll yesterday was so tense, but in the end with the indie lynch it just gives the other factions more time to get their game going. Love the way it's building up. I hadn't hosted a non-LMS Mafia in like five years so this makes me really giddy

Yeahh I'll honestly just modkill/replace them if they still refuse to tone it down, lol. But, as far as night actions and actual discussion goes, I'm very satisfied.

I just wanna say, this is an incredibly satisfying game to host. I hope it stays that way.

I know I'm supposed to stay neutral, but damn that's a good case.

Finally, it's on

This is where any dead and non-players discuss the game. Dead players are encouraged not to share their role or any information they had outside of spoiler tags. Just be respectful and we'll be good
