The Syndicate

Sloonei - what do you find alarming about 'ordinary behaviour'? In economics I remember a whole lot of civilians spent the day sniffing each other out while the baddies barely contributed... is that the kind of thing you are thinking? Or is it more that 'playing to meta' is the sign of someone play...

So the game begins. I mean, I don't want to just jump on a bandwagon but I've been pinged my what Epignosis has started here. As potentially weak as of a suspicion as it is (which, I mean, it's not even Day 1 so the littlest things really do matter) I can see exactly what Epignosis is saying. Long ...

Some interesting stuff from Scotty - sounds like you might be quite good with these things. I'm going to try and spend some time on the PM tonight, I hope DF compares his to yours or Sloonei compares his to mine, it would be good if we can narrow down whether we have only a handful of roles between...

speaking of devin, has he even posted since the Day 0 truce thing?

@ mp07: Do you have any thoughts about any of the players who are not popular susprcts at this time? Or at least Cobalt?

Does absolutely no one have any thoughts on my post regarding S~V~S or anything else I've said? I didn't recall seeing anything. If anyone does have any questions for me, I'll get to them when I can but my posting will likely be delayed, because I have to go to bed shortly, and then my ability to p...

I am also somewhat suspicious of Cobalt, with this post at the center of my suspicion: He didn't so much as defend me as he pointed out that my logic wasn't flawed like MP seemed to be trying to make it appear. I didn't really think much of it but I appreciated the validation. Anyone wanna pick my b...

I plan to vote for Long Con in the next hour. Does anyone have a reason I should not? There will still be 20+ hours left in the day. I have no objections which will actually sway your opinion one way or another, however. If Long Con is bad, I have reason to think one of his people done chucked him....

I think others have said that quotes and spoilers are not compatible on this site for some reason. I dunno.

I believe it.

I want to lynch either Long Con or S~V~S. I'm not interested in talking about Cobalt or MM. Do you have anything to say about Cobalt or MM? Why have you made up your mind so early? Why are you asking me this now? I made up my mind yesterday. Why did you make up your mind yesterday? Suppose there's ...

I missed this post, sorry Golden. Sloonei - you say "I cannot support the lynch of x" Do you mean you are actively concerned about the intentions of people who want to lynch them, or do you just mean you aren't expecting you'll vote for either of them. A bit of both. What I meant in the ca...

Day 0 has real stuff in it.

@Bass I was also a little weirded out by Cobalt implying that because he was super-civ important player in a previous game, then he is totally civ this game, but I forgot to mention it (I knew there was SOMETHING about SOME new person to me that I had seen). But for now I'd just like to keep my eye...

I had not noticed that metalmarsh and Cobalt both already voted for Long Con. This behavior seems in line with mm's usual style and it says nothing of his alignment. Cobalt is an unfamiliar player to me, but it is the more suspicious of the two right now, due in large part to the reasons Bass laid o...

Does my gameplay fascinate you, ni... niju, nin... Blooper?

Epi how do you feel about Cobalt and MM? I don't. So you don't have a read on either one? I want to lynch either Long Con or S~V~S. I'm not interested in talking about Cobalt or MM. Do you have anything to say about Cobalt or MM? Why have you made up your mind so early? Why are you asking me this n...

So, Sloonei, who are your Day 1 suspicions right now? Gumshoe, perhaps Cobalt, neither of them felt particularly strong in their responses to me earlier. I continue to sense something odd in that Gumshoe post and I'm not dropping either suspicion until they are resolved. I'm not quite finished with...

Why have you made up your mind so early?

So it appears we have only a few PMs between us, and that multiple of us got ones that were the same or at least very similar. It is a shame we can't quote them but I think we can verify if they are the same. Mine contained 102 words, 13 full stops, 7 commas. It did not conclude with a full stop or...

I have not developef a strong read on either LC or SVS, and so I can not support a lynch against either of them. Do you expect to develop a strong read on anyone in order to support a lynch against anyone? If so, how will this happen? I do. It will happen the same way it always does. By looking at ...

Okay thanks for clarifying gender @Sloonei I'm saying if you were mafia it could have been a strategy to say you were a noob, however you said you were not a noob this was something I noted as being a more civilian/ independent action who is attempting to stake a claim so to speak much like what CO...

At the college stealing wifi and arranging a new ISP. Missed this post earlier. What do you mean when you say people are circumventing your methods? What are your methods and how are the being circumvented? Am I one of the people who is doing this? http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t486/XGAm3RX/V...

My PM was full of stuff about stopping time, a second day will follow, and a lot of conditional stuff about 'if lynched' or 'if they die'. And something about a song cycle. +1 I was interpreting this as the anti-Joshua. Lynch him and you get another day. I also got these things in my PM. I picked 25

Sloonie has contributed alot some fluff some not I find it interesting he says he isn't a noob. You would think if he was mafia he would say he was a noob so any slip ups made could be blamed on his newbieness. Are you suspicious of a Gumshoe/Cobalt mafia team or were you just pointing it out in ea...

He didn't so much as defend me as he pointed out that my logic wasn't flawed like MP seemed to be trying to make it appear. I didn't really think much of it but I appreciated the validation. Anyone wanna pick my brain while I'm around for a few hours? You've now offered a seeming defense of Gumshoe...

Fair deal. I'm excited to meet a player who makes drafts of posts

@ Cobalt: You also never answered my question about Gumshoe last night.

You seem keen to settle on a lynch very early in the day. What about all the other players in the game?

I also deal in profile activity from time to time but most of you seem to be already circumventing my hunting methods for that angle. It also doesn't help that in 90% of the games I play I can't help but see most day 1 talk as baseless banter. Game doesn't really start until day 2 for me. What do y...

I like a good story

I'm reading Paradise Lost mainly because i'm about to graduate college with a degree in English, but i've gone my entire academic career without reading it, one of the biggest fixtures in the English canon. It did not feel right. I have enjoyed it so far.

Epi is reading as standard throw-everything-at-the-wall Epi to me :| I had a brief exchange with MP, went after LC for how he characterized it and construed his purpose in commenting on it, and I'm also suspicious of S~V~S for reasons I gave yesterday. Is "throw-everything at-the-wall" ho...

you're the mod!

I believe everything Dragon is saying and don't think his asking for a replacement should be a factor in anyone's read of Canucklehead.

my laptop's last leg is on its last leg, so i'll be relying heavily on phone posts in this game. please bear with me and my one million typos.

Hey Gamer Guy what do you make of this day zero? Jesus Toast all around. Personally I don't really start playing until day 2. I work better with hard facts and analytical data. Occasionally the classic freduian slip. For now none of this shit really means anything, but it may be useful in hindsight...

Brock Holt finally did something yesterday to make the Red Sox worth watching this year. Kinda reminds me of last year, when Brock Holt was the only thing that made the Red Sox worth watching.

I need help, Syndicate! I just got back from a wonderful two week vacation during which I did no reading at all. Before I left, I had just finished book 6 of Paradise Lost. While I was on vacation, however, I found in a book store "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil" by JRR Tolkien, and obscur...

Welcome Canucklehead.
Peace out Dragon, and good luck in your other game. I look forward to playing more games with you in the future. Sorry you had to leave.

What role do we all think our positions in the poll played in the PMs we received? I think the numbers might correspond to roles. Not necessarily in order (i.e. role 1 on the list might not be number 1 in the poll - they could have been randomized), but just because I think my PM was a role descrip...

I was going to try playing in two games for the first time as well, but the other game i was in, i got thrown in Day 4 as a replacement for a scum player (our dear friend Turnip Head) who already had 3 votes against him before I even got in the game, and was pretty much everyone's top suspect (not ...

but... but, Dragon! :'(
just get lynched day 1 of your other game.

For the most part though it is too early for me to form reads unless something crazy happens. As for LC and Epi, idk I think they're their usual zany selves, could be any alignment.

Is there any more to your seeming suspicion against SVS, or is it just a hunch at this stage?

As a follow up to my last post, discussion of game mechanics and ideas can be just as important as discussion about players and neither one should be looked down upon. It's important to get a good balance of both, I think, especially in a game like this one. My above post directed at nutella is just...
