The Syndicate

If you are all ears, what are the socks for?

Ricochet wrote:Was there any point in which there were fears that Epig being handed the Warden duty would be too on the nose, given the Shawshank theme of that sock being adapted? Or did any player attempt making the connection, in private or public? I admit I didn't, the only contenders I thought of were Golden and Turnip Head, for some reason. Yet the Bublé thing in E.S.T. just now made me think how, sometimes, the design can backfire.

So you really thought it was me?

Roleplay should give it away immediately. I suck at it and don't attempt it unless I absolutely have to. The only way I would have been Shawshanking it up is if I was forced to speak only in Shawshank quotes.

I've yet to fail with a win grab role, so far.

One could say you are out-marmoting marmot.

This game was amazing, I'm glad to have been in it while I was.

The thing I found most difficult was not being able to see the thread after death. I really like to follow along with things after I die.

MP & Daisy thanks! And a quick question, had I not changed my kill the night I killed Dom, had I left it on Soneji, would things have been different?

And yes Quin, I will add whichever statement JJJ likes to my Sig

And I guessed Bea, Rico & JJJ for sure during the first prison break.

Yep, I remember Golden calling me weird names like G-Man or MacBaddie, to which your reacted with an "oh you silly" or something.

Oh, man, I should have known it would be the master of disguise. Well played, Rico.

That end of phase really made me feel ika was a solid townie. But then I've realised it isn't necessarily so.

Personally Boomrique is the lurker I'm most confident is bad.

@silverwolf, the thing is, I think people have been listening to others. It's why someone like sig is still alive to this point. Yesterday, I think the votes came in for ika that did because of you. I was certainly tempted to vote that way because of you. You have successfully influenced the vote that way. I don't really understand why you would abandon it because you've succeeded, or come to the view that people aren't listening to you when I think the reason ika is popular right now is because you have influenced people to think so.

That post from you felt very incongruous to me.

But I do feel you are right that (Mongoose)-Draconus deserves a good look. I feel less that way about Soneji, I did feel that way early on but recently that feeling has slipped off somewhat.

Damn, sloonei, what are you and your 500 posts doing lurking?

I think the herd mentality is existing because of the way a couple of votes have been manipulated with extra votes.

What is a peen?

This is what the other nominees must have felt like when they were up against prisoner 509 for the Best Civilian award in the Slammers 2015 earlier this year.

Prisoner 740359 wrote:Well, let's get this over it, voted homie50, because the gap is already insurmountable and he earned it and nobody likes me (except bloody Matt). I'll just go back to fight off the Warden from behind the bars.

I like you, 740 the coward.

Prisoner 920077 wrote:As for Prisoner 509, who I see is most likely getting pardoned, I have nothing bad to say. He definitely worked hard post-prison break, and does seem to be angling for a civvie win, and whoever it is certainly seems to be around enough to keep up with the game. I didn't really take extensive notes or anything in the klink so I can't point to any deficiencies, there.

Should there ever be the opportunity for parole in the future, you have my support 920.

Time for me to abandon you all and write a sermon.

OMFG is it possible 740 is actually G-Man...?

"Golden the Coward"
"Golden the Warden"

If so, I can't believe I've missed it this long.

Still think its Mac though, on balance.

Name what I'd take for me to not have to go back and solve the Warden's stinking puzzles.

six oranges

uhm meaning what.

I want six oranges. And not the cheap kind.

How can I get you six oranges in a virtual game? Am I in a Grimm fairy tale right now?

80s style text based adventure.

"Pick up oranges"

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND PICK

"Collect oranges"

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND COLLECT

"Use oranges"

YOU HAVE EATEN THE ORANGES. YOU NOW HAVE ZERO ORANGES.

RIP DDL. Sorry!!


@Golden, I am curious - if you thought they were a possible civ BTSC pairing (SW & DDL) how's come you didn't say that earlier? Or did you and I missed it?


~Linkola, posting then reading...

Because I don't want to allow baddies to jump on a theory that might not be true if he is bad, to save him. And, as well, I didn't really expect it would be true unless SW came back and defended him hard. Today I had come to the conclusion the theory was wrong until SW came back with that post so close to the end.

MovingPictures07 wrote:You all lynched me...

So, business as usual then.

Sorry DDL. Love your role design!

Voted 509.

Epignosis wrote:Matt is

Spoiler: show

Donald Trump. You have 24 hours to vote someone President.

Incorrect. Matt would never propose building walls, he would encourage more tunnels.

I never figured out who you are, 920. Maybe bea. But you did great.

Prisoner 920077 wrote:Well, good luck, guys! It's been fun, even if some of us (okay, me) basically flailed around and yelled really loud to be heard but ended up with nothing to say!

You did fine, Diiny

the warden?

Sticking with DDL. I am going with gut that silverwolf just disagrees, if it was btsc she might have fought a little or made a bit of a case he was good at the end there.

Prisoner 509378 wrote:Not really. There's not very much content between them. Most of it is totally neutral or positive, with that one exception.

I feel paranoid.

509, any more?

I'm not sure silverwolf is still around.

Again, Matt 1.0, who we know was good.

Golden wrote:I agree with indi, silverwolf. More than that, I'd go a step further and say that I've maintained my vote in DDL in part because your defence of him hasn't been particularly strong... until now.

Are you considering that there might be an informational backing to SW's comments? I have no idea how she plays, whether this is how she reacts to a lynch of a town read in general or if it's indicative of something else.

Yep. I think there is a chance they are a civ btsc pairing. I've been waiting to see how strong SW's defence is.

Prisoner 920077 wrote:Read back through Matt's posts around the Fuzz lynch, and he seemed a bit perturbed by how it went down as well. Same sort of "good result, but lame lynch" posts.

Matt 1.0, though, and we already know he was good.

I am seriously all ears. I prefer having the most information I can to form an opinion.


Matt, can you provide any concrete reasons you feel Boomrique is for certain town?

Like I said, who here thinks Enrique would run away as a bad guy and get replaced? Show of hands.

Like I said, Enrique asked to be replaced right from the very start of the game...

Matt is hilarious. He now things that the Fuzz lynch was basically the entire baddie team bussing Fuzz

I agree with indi, silverwolf. More than that, I'd go a step further and say that I've maintained my vote in DDL in part because your defence of him hasn't been particularly strong... until now.

We've still got 20 minutes to lynch ika. Let's rally!!

I can't believe that I'm genuinely considering it.

The theory that Matt 'slipped'.

@silverwolf - well, I mean, I have heard you defending DDL, but I haven't had any good sense as to why you think the case is bad.

Golden wrote:@740 - in half the lynches so far, the runner up has been lynched.

Why beat Matt up over it?

Because he just moved Boomslang OUT of second place.

Now THAT is a good reason. But not the same thing as what 740 is going on about.

Couldn't you or him have explained this, like, 20 minutes ago? In all lynches so far, I have not been present.

SVS is the one who first mentioned making sure the person in second was a good lynch.
She also mentioned the 6 votes up for sale.

All in the same period you've been pushing your theory.

Anyone who knows me well knows I'm not the warden. There has been no value in me using my time and effort to try and get you to provide meaningful help, when all I get is claims I'm the warden.

@740 - in half the lynches so far, the runner up has been lynched.

Why beat Matt up over it?

Casse: Slang: French kids use it a lot to say that you've been dissed big time, while doing arm gestures.

@920 - thats no diss. Just me analysing one non-player prisoner to figure that you guys are probably genuinely trying to help.

indiglo wrote:This may be the most unanimous lynch we've had! I can't tell if that should make me happy or really nervous.

Without the prisoners the margin would only be one vote.

I'm not sure if that should make me really happy or nervous.

I guess it depends how neutral non-player prisoners such as 509 are. 509 has felt very town-aligned, which I'd expect would be his normal setting if he had no stake in the game.

Up to 3.

Yeah, I know that. I thought that each loan shark had a total of 3 votes throughout the entire game.

Oh. I also assumed each night, but I hadn't considered that. The fact we've already seen two lynches go against the top vote getter suggests availability.

Are you allowed to say how many votes you bought and used to save sig?

Any reason in particular?

Yeah cuz Enrique isn't a douche, and if he were bad, he would take a lynch sooner then get replaced, me thinks.

Hey, Matt... as I pointed out. Enrique asked for a replacement LONG before he took any suspicion. As evidenced by sprityo, he may not have even immediately been told he was replaced.

Go on and think about that for a minute.

I don't think sig lost more than one or two votes after that. Most of the "scampering" has been from people moving off of people other than sig, or from people placing their first votes of the day.

I'm not talking just votes. I'm talking suspicion in general. This marks three days of "sig's bad" to "nah, not going to vote sig today." If sig is bad, I'm going to tear this thread apart looking for the people who kept their kid gloves on and why.

Time permitting.

Or, you know, opinions can change as things continue to unfold in the thread... and others can start looking like better options.

Opinions changing is not the same thing.

Not necessarily the same thing, I mean.

Look at me, adding an adverb.

CFD ON EPI!!!!

(just kidding, settle down)

Matt wrote:Totes cuz if I knew there was a lynch switch, the smartest thing I could do is announce it in thread right before the lynch is over.

Seriously.

Talking about the obvious things you wouldn't do in a thread where you think sloonei would be my baddie teammate if I were bad...

I think Boomslang and Enrique should always be forced into playing a single role together so we can always call them Boomrique.

Why?

Because he's obvi not a cop and I think people voting him are taking the easy way out.

Why do you say that (pulling teeth here Matt)? Enri reaction to the Fuzz wagon was pretty pissy.

Enrique doesn't strike me as a player who would be "caught red handed" the way some of you think he was, and then ditch out and get replaced. I think he'd man up and take the lynch.

Nothing wrong with asking to be replaced if the thrill is gone, Matt.

Plus, he asked to be replaced long before then.
