The Syndicate

Favorite Kansas song? Favorite Yes song? Favorite Echolyn song? Favorite Tears for Fears song? I can't name any other than the two enormous radio hits. Between those, Dust in the wind. Close to the Edge (might be my favorite prog track period) Never heard of Echolyn. Any recommendations? Everybody ...

What are five themes that you would most like to see mafia games based on? Star Wars vs Star Trek The 2016 Presidential Election Back to the Future (stay tuned for RYM #88 ;)) Types of animal poop And y'all could take after RYM #50 (RYM Mafia Mafia) if you haven't already done a self-referential ga...

What's the hardest win you've ever pulled off? I'll got with RYM game #39. I mentioned it earlier, town won despite a very imbalanced setup (11 vs 4 vs 1). And 3 of the 4 mafia team members were RYM Mafia Hall of Famers. The rogue was too. Easiest win? Probably RYM game #82 (no theme). I was mafia ...

To be fair, i don't actually agree that Bass's voting record is that impressive. I think his BR vote was absolute money but otherwise he's been protocol.

I'll think about it. I don't want to give him too much credit for one vote.

Cleanest voting record doesn't equal civvie.

Nothing equals civvie short of a civvie flip. But it's still a subtantial defense right?

I'd rather vote G-Man.

I'm surpised you're that sold on the player you said has the cleanest voting record, Turnip.

How would you describe your general approach to a typical mafia game? Since I am going to draw a town role in most Mafia games I play, I tend to build all of my strategy around behavior that I think will benefit the town faction. That means that when I draw a mafia role, I am challenging myself to ...

Turnip, i can do a more thorough case later, but here's something for aether. in this post i described what i still think the most suspicious component of her post history in this game: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=620&p=145665#p145665 it's meta-based and i shared a ...

Meaningful interactions between/about Roxy and Epignosis i have to take note that Epignosis is active lurking right now. he is aware of the game, seemingly following the game, and contributing nothing to it. at face value and independent of meta (which i cannot know beyond MP's descriptions), i find...

Also I voted BR so that would be two team mates I voted for if I were mafia. this is a point i keep returning to with Bass. it wasn't just that he voted for BR, but that he broke a tie and ensured the mafia player would be lynched. the other candidate was aether, who cannot be mafia if both Bass an...

hey Bass, besides G-Man which two players do you find the most suspicious?

i'm going to consider the piano conventional. if you don't, then it's on top.

Flute
Violin
Harp
Cello
Xylophone

RIP MP. thanks for the immense effort.

Golden: I think your assessment of my posting activity actually relies on a different timing to how things went down in real time. only quoting this piece for the sake of a smaller post, but i read everything you said. thanks for the effort to explain yourself, and you might be right that there are ...

G-Man's incredulity in his recent responses only makes him look worse, frankly. it shouldn't be some kind of surprise to him that people find his actions suspicious.

Bass, you'd be well-advised to answer every question directed at you right now.

Damn, I would have a spoiler tag fail on the biggest post of all. That was hard work and I'm so not motivated to do a BR one as well since the Roxy one makes JJ look so clean, but I suppose I should. JJ, I honestly don't know how you do it so frequently. It would suck the fun right out of it for me...

It would seem G-Man stands as the likely lynch at the moment. To ensure we maintain dialogue about others, I'll pose a few general questions to everyone (if you've not already spoken of these things at length): 1.) I would say the players who were most vocally in opposition to the Roxy lynch were Vo...

Jay, what do you think of aether's increased activity? I'm loving it, and have two competing explanations, but want to hear your thoughts first, as you know her better than I do. i think i can imagine what your competing explanations are. my initial perspective is a positive one, at least at face v...

Rainbow based solely on how players look in their interactions with Roxy:

Turnip Head
fingersplints
Dragon D. Luffy
MovingPictures07
Bass_the_Clever
Vompatti
birdwithteeth11/Golden
acrosstheaether
sanmateo
G-Man

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and Vompatti Vomps (PKA AcrossTE) - Seems ok so far posting is expensive in Finland :shifty: vague assertion that he looks okay. i have no idea why he'd have looked okay or not okay or anything at this point. or any point. Voted for Llama for science. :beer:...

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and Turnip Head I think it's pretty dangerous that people are taking the notion that one of the 5 players to kickstart the game MUST be scum as a foregone conclusion. That encourages a narrower focus of suspicion not only in Day 1, but in all ensuing days un...

Try putting spaces before and after.

you are the secret genius of our time

CTRL+F'd Roxy's posts for "TH" and got 1,526 results. that abbreviation has to stop. :P

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and sanmateo Mateo - I have been agreeing with most of your posts especially today. I agree an ATE vote is off bc they have been replaced and also if I am not mistaken Russti/llama had said they could not be lynched today - so yah useless votes are useless. ...

i certainly understand anyone not wanting a policy lynch of Vompatti. i don't really even mean for it to be a "policy lynch". i only even bring it up because i think we've bought ourselves a little breathing room with the last three lynches all on baddies. and if the mafia ever kill Vomp t...

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:By the way, can you explain the bwt bussing thing? I don't get it.

Roxy was somewhat vocal about suspecting BWT before he was replaced.

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and MovingPictures07 i was going to spoiler this whole post so it isn't so massive, but it doesn't appear to allow spoilers within spoilers. I knew he was civ and am so surprised MP did not immediately feel the same. I also wish others. who know him better w...

MP, what do you think of my semi-proposal regarding Vompatti? i'll answer your questions soon, once i get your analysis posted.

stay tuned, MP. i am analyzing your ass right now and it's not looking good.

with 11 players remaining, we may have an opportunity to take care of the Vompatti Problem. it could become 10 after the night phase, i'm also not sure how the mafia kills work without JMK. it's another new concept because on RYM it's typical for any member of the mafia to be able to kill on any nig...

every time i go through these analytic reads and come upon MP in the order, i decide it's time for a nap.

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and G-Man a lot of what i say in this post is likely to echo points made by others already. but this is my first opportunity to go through the material myself and see how i feel. How is Gman cursed already? Idk if it is what is happening here but I play on a...

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and fingersplints f but i can't help but be concerned about a player with one suspicious encounter early in the game and nothing else since other than a little detached commentary and off-topic posting. I think she might be busy and bad. :nicenod: I trust yo...

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and Dragon D. Luffy Btw, I think it's very interesting how Jay started talking about making cases right after the second role was handed out. Which is interesting since the game was pretty much a blank state at that point. Though to be fair, he did say he ha...

Turnip Head wrote:Sorry I'll let JJJ finish his thing before spamming the thread with snippets :P

No no no, please give us all the snippets you like. the last thing i want to do is encourage quiet from other players while i trudge through the filing cabinets.

it will take me a while. :P

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and birdwithteeth11 / Golden 2.0 I could think of 2 reasons TinyBubbles might drop a vote so early on your main suspect: 1) Possibly he's buddying up to you, and wants you to think he's a civ by comparison. 2) If Elo is lynched and flips civ, he could use it...

any thoughts on that Bass analysis i did? because i thought he emerged looking better. plenty of room to be wrong though.

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and Bass_the_Clever Bass - I found MP and his back and forth quite funny. I get why MP questioned you and pressed you for some suspicions (I do the same thing to DP) what I don't get is why after that MP would say that you are playing different and posting m...

Meaningful interaction between/about Roxy and acrosstheaether ATE - I think splints case on you has merit I do not think your responses (or lack thereof) have helped you. She has good instincts when baddie hunting and I trust her read on you bc I got the same vibe from your posts as she did. You als...

Yanno what this calls for? Full interactive analyses of living players w/r/t Roxy. Sounds like a good way to get back into this game.

Note: if BR and Roxy are any indication, mafia fight their asses off around here when they're in trouble, and i'm honestly not used to that. it's awesome.

Nice work everyone. Sorry I couldn't be any meaningful part of that.

Need more rankings!! - Top 10 singers - Top 10 drummers - Top 10 bassists - Top 10 guitarists or top 5 or some other number if that works better! aw damn, i used to really keep track of this. i haven't in a long time, and have probably even forgotten a lot of names. i'll name as many as i can witho...

i liked Scenes from a Memory a lot too, though last time i listened it felt a bit too cheesy. which is not really a diss from me because i listen to plenty of cheesy things.

i haven't listened for a long time, but when i was more into Dream Theater my favorite was definitely Images and Words. i think i'll give it a spin now if it's on Spotify.

finally home. just in time for a flip.

Voting from a bathroom stall. Roxy. I hope i didn't contribute to your bad experience and hope we can play again sometime, Roxy.

No time to say much else

i'm inclined to believe every word of what G-Man has said regarding why he has played the game the way he has. i honestly suspected as much when i posted this: Isolated hmmm thought from workjay What id g-man isn't cursed and never even intended to fake it until someone first raised the question.
