The Syndicate

Only way it's not beneficial to town is if LC is town. Which I honestly doubt. Everything I've said about what happens if I get lynched today is 100% up front. Either follow through, or lynch someone else.

If I'm even MORE honest I've been super messy so y'all would pile votes on me for that purpose.

But I'm not scum. Consider it good-natured civilian mischief. I do believe there is a good chance Long Con is scum for aforementioned reasons though.

Okay let me be straight with y'all for a minute, I only came here for the Broadway theme and to get Long Con's head on a spike for fooling me last game, he wounded my pride. After my ability kills him I'll actually try, I promise.

Lynch me today for it to work.

Oh hun. I was only joking about the revenge lynch at first. You gave me damn good reason to want your head on a stick.

At work now. Back close to the deadline.

Your suspicion against LC doesn't feel genuine and that's another reason I'm suspicious of you.

Pls tell me, did I not expand enough for you the first time? What exactly do you want from me?

Also as far as my legacy post goes, I probably will not have time by the deadline. But it's okay, because I won't be lynched today. LC will die.

Tbh I don't sound civvy cuz I'm being lazy and I don't know you guys.

@Niijukysuajxjdudjsjaj: you make good points, but I don't know what else to say while I'm at work and unable to formulate a long response other than that I'm civilian.

Also, guys, if you lynch me today, Long Con will be lynched and I won't be. That's a hard fact. Either vote for him, or for someone else besides me. This is a civ ability.

@LC I actually thought that whole "interesting" argument was dumb. I had other reasons if you look back in my posts.

tell y'all what - if you don't lynch me today, I'll post a super huge legacy post of how I view every single player in the game so far. I know I agreed to do this if I decided to eat a lynch, but that was to bait votes onto me so that Long Con would die. Up to you if you want me to do that or not.

*Lynching his ass in the other game on day one and he's apparently being a salty fucking crybaby about it.

sig wrote:Okay to go along with my other reasoning for lynching Cobalt there is one more thing, this has something to do with another mafia game we are currently in so I really can't give any information about it. I Know this sounds scummy, but bare with it for a bit.
I'm know more sure that LC is innocent (this is solo based off of the Cobalt/LC exchange) and CObalt is either mafia or independent. So I will put my money were my mouth is and vote for Cobalt, he was my second day 1 choice after I decided on SVS.
Cobalt might say this is a revenge lynch, though that isn't the case I won't be restating my argument for why I think Cobalt is scummy and I will provided additional information of my other mafia game if I'm lynched this phase.

You're seriously trying to OMGUS me based on a DIFFERENT GAME because I'm lynching your ass?

Grow the fuck up Sig. Nobody is gonna buy that shit.

Besides, I'm not getting lynched today. Long Con is.

I like Golden.

Pls don't make me use this so early.

Also, IIRC you wanted Long Con gone. Did that change?

How am I supposed to know the questions everyone else wants answered if I get lynched? I don't have questions that need to be answered by my lynch because I know what my allegiance is.

I still don't get what you're asking or what you want from me right now.

sig wrote:It says quite clearly votes aren't change able did you not notice or is this an excuse to continue your bandwagon against LC?
Cobalt has never said in games we played, if you want to lynch me fine lynch me. He usually will become more hostile and fight to literally the bitter end.

A big thing with rereading Cobalts interactions is his LC tunneling he doesn't usually only have one major mafia read. He was one of my top 2 lynch choice of day 1 his early lynch vote of LC is scummy and I'm not buying he didn't realize votes were none chang able. As Scotty said a Cobalt lynch could give us information either way. Though I think he is either mafia or playing a really messy game.

If you pay attention to my posts I talk about more people than just Long Con. You're on my scum list too.

And I become hostile and fight to the end when I'm mafia. Pls go back and read my other GTF games, I made a handy little directory post for all our game threads.

Le sigh.

Also, to clarify, when I first saw the entire poll again I wondered why I wasn't seeing the results because I voted Long Con already. I put my vote back and then saw that it said votes weren't changeable. I missed whatever announcement may have been made about it.

Light to moderate scum read on Scotty. As Turnip Head pointed out earlier, the Epi kill was most likely designed to keep the attention on myself and Long Con today. Scotty said that my lynch would be the MOST beneficial today, and seems to be trying to reinforce that attention staying on me rather than elsewhere.

What are the questions?

I assume people would try and determine the validity of my suspicion on Long Con and others I've posted about if/when I flip civilian. Other than that, a definitive flip of me shows the point of view I posted from. For example, if I flipped mafia, you would be more inclined to think my strongest scum reads were civilian unless I threw a buddy in there to soft clear them. If I flipped civilian, you might be inclined to trust my instincts and lynch one of my scum reads. Depends on the situation and the group we're playing with, because I don't know them very well.

Isn't that the case when anybody gets lynched though? You're not saying anything meaningful here.

Yes, but given that I have been at the forefront of a lot of mess involving me and Long Con, it's the most prominent mess to get out of the way, if you choose to lynch me today. What I meant was that those things will be applied specifically to my situation.

I don't really get what you're asking here, can you clarify?

Is there a countdown to the end of the phase? It ends tomorrow night, right? Around 10 EST?

Hey, Sig, if you're around, I know you find me scummy but I find you scummy too. You've said you always found me scummy regardless of whether I'm civ or mafia, can you vouch that I've played with my usual aggressiveness?

So you're saying you are trying to come off as scummy?

At first, I was a little bit, to see who would bite. Some did.

I'm normally really aggressive, but to a completely new environment I can see how my normal self would look scummy too.

I haven't said a single dishonest thing in this game. Regardless of how scummy you find me.

I always make a legacy post when I'm about to die or if I think I'm gonna die during the night. Apparently rainbow lists are a thing here so I would do one of those as well.

If you guys really want to lynch me go ahead, we'll get answers either way.

Right now it appears the three most popular names for lynch targets are Long Con, S~V~S, and Cobalt. If you were to choose between those three, who would you pick and why?

At the risk of contradicting what i just said about bandwagoning, id probably go for either svs or cobalt, because they arent getting as much negative press as long con atm. This game has barely even begun, i find it interesting (to use your word heh) that long con already seems so scummy to some. There is just something off about that. im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because of it.

Who would you vote for?

TinyBubbles says this, defending the suspicion of Long Con. No real read of Long Con, just a casual addressing of the "suspicion".

Long Con wrote:

TinyBubbles wrote:...And i'm a good guy AGAIN for the third time in a row! Which really doesn't help me train my mafia hunting instincts, like they say it takes a thief to catch a thief. Anyway, for what it is worth sloonei and golden are playing a lot like they did in the economics game so far, so i (want?) to believe they are civ. Don't know about the others like long con. Curious about the pm Dom sent like many of you, i would love if we could somehow join together and figure out what they all mean without actually posting them.

This first lynch vote i'm gonna probably bandwagon on the most voted person, since i figure that is marginally better than voting a random. It's a cop out, i know. Don't shoot me.

Ok, I went over TinyBubbles to see why I felt she was fishy, and it's this post mostly that made a ping stick out in my memory. Nothing too notable going on in her other posts, she did vote for Cobalt over S~V~S, but also stated that she thought S~V~S was bad from a gut perspective. That could be a way to push the lynch of a non-baddie-teammate while voting for a baddie teammate, but I think that would be a pretty risky maneuver with such a close lynch. Actually, not nearly as risky when votes are changeable - a Cobalt teammate could switch their vote late if need be, and it wasn't needed with myself and S~V~S leading the lynch.

i will never tire of asking epi these questions and getting no answers.

I dare you to make that your sig.

Long Con says this recently today. Long Con has not mentioned or interacted with TinyBubbles all game. However, he suddenly states he's seeing her as fishy, but convinces himself otherwise all in the same post.

I REALLY LIKE YOU. Slay them.

I think the Epignosis kill was designed to make us keep looking at LC and Cobalt today. I don't have too many suspects at this point but my gut is telling me to look at Nutella more. Hedgeowl is still on my radar for general blendiness. I also thought Blooper's vote was... interesting.

Sig seems okay to me but I want to look more into the interactions surrounding him.

Here you say that the kill could be designed to make us keep looking at LC and Cobalt, but is it out of the question for the mafia to do it and play the wifom card?

It's not out of the question, I just think the wifom angle is less likely. Doesn't prohibit LC or Cobalt being on the mafia team that didn't kill Night 1, but I don't think either of them are on the team that killed Epi, because it so obviously leads to continued focus on those two.

IMO it's not very fun to play the wifom card as a baddie, and I think LC and Cobalt are both more inventive than that, especially against a foe like Epi. Cobalt in particular did not seem phased by Epi's approach toward him.

I'm a difficult person to phase. Also I like your beard.

I feel like Epi could have been offed for just appearing too civ. Whether or not he was still alive he would still probably be campaigning for the LC/Cobalt vote. So I don't know if framing was really that big of a decider.

I honestly feel like, to me, a LOT of info will be learned from lynching Cobalt next. Whether or not he is civ is still to be determined but so far I haven't heard anyone say they're getting civ vibes from him.

And if you ARE getting civ vibes from him, let me know and I'll tell you about the leprechaun and the Easter bunny I've got in a cage in my basement.

Y'all have never played with me as a civ before, that's why.

Epignosis cannot be lynched today.

Wait, what kind of system allows someone who dies to sub back into the game as a different role?

What even? Like, that's FOREIGN to me. How is that allowed?

Epi was going for my neck today. The BALLS they have to try and frame me that hard.

K lets lynch Long Con now. I'll talk about everyone else today but he gone.

MIGHT be persuaded by a case on Sig. I don't like ha this game.

But wouldn't it be hilarious if both are on different mafia teams?

I'm plenty comfortable. Unless they decide to night kill me, and I don't know how that works with two mafia teams, but if they want this game to turn out anything other than boring I'll survive this night phase.

That's not it at all. I was swayed by the case against SVS - that and the fact that she voted herself made it look really scummy. I was keeping my vote where it was unless a clearer target presented itself - which it did.

Should have been around 10 minutes earlier than I was and lynched you anyway.

I'm not gratifying your longer post with a response. It's 90% bullshit, shade-throwing and fluff that you're trying to use to discredit me.

I dropped what I was doing and grabbed my phone to get my vote in, and I saw that it was Cobalt 5, Long Con 6, S~V~S 6... so I had to put my vote on S~V~S just to save myself. I wasn't caught up on the thread at that point, and I'm still not, but we're home, and we have poured our drinks and counted up the money from the event, and I'm going to go back to quite a few hours ago and catch up on the thread. Close one for me, sorry you were an Indy S~V~S, but there was really no place else to put my vote. Sorry that BR missed the vote; she was off getting the truck from where it was parked at the time, and I couldn't even tell her to get on frantically like I did to cast a last-minute vote. I doubt she would have voted for me anyway, because, you know, I'm her husband. I'll post more in a bit.

However, Cobalt seems to be claiming some form of lynch protection. Which is not the same as being civilian.

I'm with sloonei on the 'why is LC's votes suspicious'. When someone knows they are under the gun, they will try and get time to make sure they are around in the last couple of minutes and use their vote for self-defence - even if its in the toilet on the phone.

I'm not forcing it to be Cobalt vs. Long Con. I want Long Con gone, Epi is the one who's said he's going to push me.
