The Syndicate

Better to be wibbly-wobbly than flippy-floppy.

Thanks go towards you as well, sir. You played your part to gather up immunity points in great fashion and ultimately saved our asses.

Your role was definitely experimental; I don't plan on using anything like that again. Was worth trying out though.

And at least you didn't explode randomly this time.

Yes, these are the kinds of roles I land in your games, aren't they . I think its a good role though, the laughing one not the exploding one. It just needed to be made objective. For instance, anytime a player made someone else respond with a ' ' would have worked.

Your husband did that long ago.

The LC interaction spectrum analysis

And as a special feature, the writing in-character quotes I compiled. Interestingly, I never checked the last two TH albums (got lazy), except for remembering at one point the "I wish I had a lawnmower" line from (Nothing But) Flowers, off of Naked.

What, how this did work? The recipients were randomly chosen?

Night 11 - "Radio Head" -- Ricochet -- passive unbeknownst insanification

Que-ce que c'est?

I never received this.

Thanks, everyone...

Thanks, MP, the only answer that doesn't fully adress the question is the ACEO one. I meant which players were chosen, targeted by the song choices and when? Again, JJJ only told me about the first four Nights.

Also, lol, I corrected my math, but still posted that comment. Nah, it's all good.

No problem!

Got it, let me get that for you. Might not be for a bit though, since I've got a busy day today.

No rush (small letter), I got time these days.

Please also mention how targeted players used what they received, if they used it. (the track, rocks, insanification etc.).

Thanks, everyone...

Oh.

Who else did the Mafia target, except when it was mentioned by MP? Which of the mafia, when, how?

A few more thing I may ask yourselves. Back later.

Who was challenged alonside JJJ by Sorsha (Found a Job) on Night 1? And Night 3, was that really Matt vs Mac?

Who survived N4 SK kill?

On what Night did splints question JJJ?

Did Devin intercept anything? On what Night?

Did Roxy duplicate any Night Power onto another civ?

Which players did b24 protect and when? (except the ones already mentioned by MP, during crucial Nights)

Which players did Matt target and when? (except the times already mentioned by MP)

Which players did Straw target and when? (except the times mentioned)

Who bought Fuzz's votes and when? (except the times mentioned)

Floyd would have killed himself N5? Or is that Floyd wanted to kill Matt, but Matt redirected it to JJJ.

Something doesn't add up about Diiny's N9 ratio being 1:1, except my math is shit. (which is always possible) It obviously messes with every subsequent double-kill night. Can I have a rundown of the SYN-RYM losses?

LOL, JJJ's mad town cred for lynching Floyd on D8 is only apparent.

Who survived Angel's kill N11?

Can I get a rundown of the ACEO songs and effects (except what JJJ already sent me - Night 1 through 4)?

Alright, I'mma start dumping spreadsheet-related questions:

Did the Doc get paralysed by killing Swamp until N3 (including it) or N4 (two Nights that actually occurred)?

Hehe, nice, I remember that.

Will Strawhenge vote ★★½?

===

Hi splints.

Kinda sad you didn't intend me to receive the question , but glad it happened and utterly surprised to have guessed it right. I have no idea what those chocolate bars taste like. Anyway, I held on to that extra vote until the bitter end, which is quite something, considering I nearly died on two other occasions, during the game, after receiving it. My extra vote should have finished things on D14 (which is why I bragged to MM about everything being chill during that phase ), alas more shenanigans piled up.

Anyway, I searched the Interrogation Room for people saying they like Reese's and I spotted only MM and Fuzz, so I never had anyone else in mind who could ask me this.

I also posted this in the game, hoping to get a reaction and possibly role check, but nobody bothered.

Ricochet wrote:Also Hi hi hi hi hi

I'm home from work and will try to do some reads in the upcoming hours.

Although right now I could go for a Reese's goodies, mmm.

It netted you Bullzeye though.

Scumslips are applicable to brand new people, but I don't want to hear about slips for players who've played Mafia for years. :P

Retirement is overrated, rico. Mafia wouldn't be the same without you.

IDK. I hear Turnip is co-hosting or modding and not having all my Film possies playing in a Championship game for which I became eligible by winning Film alongside them is a bit of an emotional deal-breaker.

Plus, on the RL side, I guess I'll decide, depending on when it'll happen and how busy I'll be and especially how much progress I did adjusting to a real life study rhythm instead of a 12 hours out of 15 awake mafia one.

How close are we to MVP reveals? I think I really need to go to bed, I incidentally have my first Accompaniment classes tomorrow at the Faculty, so I'd better not get fired from day 1.

I still think it would have been really nice for the Spectators Chat to be a thread, so we can see what everyone went through on the side of the dead and how much nobody liked or rooted for me (except FZ ).

I wasted it on Fuzz when Fuzz died, d'oh. Can't get it right all the time.

I had a Wilgy check prepared, but someone decided it's time to block me or whatever, on N10.

FZ wrote:Wow, congrats to the civvies. Great game everyone! Rico, I'm proud of you. I only had one BTSC as "don't worry about the government" but I'm happy it was you. I think you had an amazing game.

Thanks FZ. I'm glad we sorted our differences in the BTSC, but was saddened to have lost you quickly afterwards. You disseminating players based on conversations would have helped a great deal as well.

It's going to be a tough call between this game and Death Note for my favorite game I've ever hosted, and that says quite a lot. [/color]

I won them both, so I don't have any conflict of emotions.

I still have the feeling that I'm winning the games I truly want to and in which I'm giving it my all. Happened for Film, Death Note, Watchmen and this one, so far. Biblical was cool to grab, too (and pretty ironic, given what I usually answer to the religion box in questionnaires or given how I never read past Deuteronomy...).

MovingPictures07 wrote:It's funny because I had planned that award well before the game started, but Ricochet's obsession with lyrics was already readily apparent in the Day 0 thread before I could even announce the contest.

True, hilarious when you announced the contest. I planned to TH banter from second 0 of signing up.

motel room -- 3 -- LYNCHED
Ricochet -- 2
Metalmarsh89 -- 0

Metalmarsh89 used an extra vote (thanks to fingersplints) on motel room, which saved Ricochet from having to face another tie.
JJJ's range was 7 (-3, 0, +3) and his vote ended up on Russtifinko.

Diiny -- 3 (LOST) -- LYNCHED
Ricochet -- 3 (WON)

Ricochet survives another tie!
JJJ's range was 9 (-4, 0, +4) and his vote ended up on Metalmarsh89.

Ricochet -- 4 -- LYNCHED
Russtifinko -- 3

Ricochet uses his extra (secret) vote (thanks to fingersplints) on Russtifinko, hypothetically tying the tally. But...
JJJ's range was 9 (-4, 0, +4) and his vote ended up on Ricochet, breaking what otherwise would be a tie.

I'm going to bed. Mafia over. Real life takes over starting tomorrow. I'll probably come back with spreadsheets (although it's not as if they're scrambled completely by what actually happened) and more nopes.

MacDougall wrote:Ugh Rico had role knowledge of me? Well that is the pits.

Indeed! I couldn't believe when he sent in that target on Night 1. I kept fearing for his life up until Night 5 when he found out your identity with 100% confidence.

4 cycles for a cop check, you devil Host you?! I'd still like a word with you on my role.

But yeah, I mostly sent 3 and 4 cycle checks, because I couldn't deal with the pressure of worse odds than this. After I got the 80% on MM and JJJ, I tested MM's lynch as proof and tested JJJ with questions, then carried on hounding those goddamn baddies. All three of the rest were bad FARK.

Did anyone, civ or mafia alike, in-game or dead-chat alike, figure me out as Literal Retard Cop during the game? I never hesitated after getting the reads, every time. Not one bit.

Dammit Blind. Of all the times...

The motel was drugged theory also includes the part in which Blind could have voted MM and misfired.

Anyway, somethings are hard to describe (:smallworkout:), but this game's been a delight.

Seeing as Russ voted me and I could be drugged, my 1K post will be death or glory. See you on the other side.
