The Syndicate

Go civs!

RIP baddies.

Ornette Coleman wrote:To be honest I would be voting for no lynch if I didn't have four votes on myself. Hiromi is a possible baddie, but not a confirmed one. I think it would be wise if we all thought this through and voted for no lynch. Remember, a mislynch is no less likely than the baddies accidentally killing one of their own during the night phase!

I think that just means he didn't feel comfortable with lynching me. I don't think this post has much to do with you or Coltrane.

Hiromi Uehara wrote:Mingus, I'll ask again now that we know who the cop is. Why are you still convinced I am a civilian?

We knew who the cop was the first time you asked.

And I already gave you my answer here:

Charles Mingus wrote:It's what you haven't done, and that is to ping me. The fact that you haven't said or done anything that I find suspicious combined with the baffling amount of heat you've been getting that has all been based on little to no legitimate reasoning makes me think that the last baddie is trying to get you mislynched.

I was pushing and testing you in case you were attempting to claim another power role or what.

But I forgot that vompatti had cleared you, so I don't think it matters either way.

My vote is going on Bill Dixon at least until he comes in and posts today.

Actually, never mind, I don't want to ask that question anymore.

Mingus, I'll ask again now that we know who the cop is. Why are you still convinced I am a civilian?

Wow Hiromi, just wow. If you were paying any attention at all you would know that it's not exactly sudden.

Perhaps it isn't sudden.

I'm still having trouble finding the answer to the "why" part though. You have defended me, but the defenses have more to do with the other players' actions, and less to do with my behavior. I'm not saying it's completely illegitimate, but does it have anything to do with what I've done?

My vote is probably going to Bill Dixon or Charles Mingus today, though most likely the former of these two.

Unfortunately, looking at the interactions of dead players with all other players is next to useless.

Mingus, why the sudden faith in my civvieness?

Silverwolf wrote:Hydras are great because you can have two people or sometimes even three people collaborate together on a game. Chosen mafia was a game ika and I hydra'd in on MS. We caught one of the scum D1. Then, called out the other one that was lynched after we died. We also have our scum game where we were werewolves. We did bus our buddy but he was worthless and town wouldn't lynch him due to that. It was hilarious. We were widely townread that game.

So what I mean is, hydra's are more powerful because you have multiple perspectives.

That sounds like a neat idea, and one I've never heard of before.

Do other sites generally allow the players to each have their own account, even if they come together to play under a hydra from time-to-time? That's something we've never encountered here.

We don't have a smiley for that, probably for the greater good.

Miles Davis wrote:I didn't feel like I was being critical or harsh at all. I was friendly and helpful... wasn't I?

I don't know if you were, I just felt the need to mediate if it came off that way. But based on what I've said earlier in this game, I'm probably the last person who should be telling folks not to be mean to Bela.

Mwuahahahahahahaha, I just posted 3 times in a row!!!


If you don't count nonplayer posts that is.

I apologize for not realizing it, but I will have you know that I was trying to protect the cop.

Poe is a very powerful tool. Not only that his continued "Mingus is confirmed civ" is quite telling in itslef.

There's a lot more to how I can figure people's roles out but if you want the full run down I can do that when I am home

What is Poe?

I was saying the exact same things as Coleman. What I want to know is how you came to the conclusion that he was the cop, yet suspected me at the same time?

poe =process of elimination, as i have ALREADY SAID

anyways, its near impossible for me to expalin cus it litarly makes little to no sense, but ill try anyway. its better explained hands on by example in a hydra is that a thing on here btw?

but with the flip of a gf its says "hi theres a cop" so the next thign that comes up is to see how players are acting, know it or not, when people play pr vs civ, they tend to have a sense of "awareness" not a scum awareness of a scum team but jsut seems to react diffrently then how a civ does

not only that but i have been playing for 4 years so i have picked up on quite a few tells that come from civ vs non-civ players

If hydra is the term used for these ghost accounts, we usually call them socks or sockpuppets, but I think that's the word you are looking for.


@ the other folks, let's not criticize Bela for using acronyms that we don't know. He can't automatically know all of our terminology just from playing a game or two here. We can be a little more patient and ask what they mean, and share our own variation if possible. The beauty of having players from other mafia cultures come play here is they bring a new spice to our lives. They should not automatically have to play and act exactly as we do.

I mean, he used the acronym "PR" (which I believe is power role), and posted 3 times in a row. It's not like he told someone to eat a dick or something.

EBWOP: understood

What's wrong with posting thrice in a row? I never understand the deal with that.

Due to the closed setup, I will make no official statement regarding this.

An unofficial one will do.

Well it's dependent on if the post restriction was due to or play or not

I didn't have a posting restriction ever. I just chose not to post.

Vince Guaraldi wrote:Hey cats, sorry I pulled a drive-by vote but I'm glad it went through. I was having horrible connection issues in my travels. I finally got signal and tried to write a post and lost signal. Next time I got signal, I just voted.

RIP Coleman. Unsocked, the behavior makes a lot more sense. Shame to lose the cop. I will also check back to see if he made any hard confirmations or seemed to suggest anything.

As to the question about how many baddies there are, Heist rules mandate 10 civvies and 3 baddies, so we're looking for a solo killer so long as this game follows the guidelines. It was made pretty clear after the last game that that is the setup for these types of games.

What if there are crazy mechanics in this game like the last Heist?

I've changed my mind about Bela for the time being. I think the last mafia is in this group.

• Charles Mingus
  Miles Davis
  Bill Dixon

Bela, how did you know that Vomps was the cop?

I apologize for not realizing it, but I will have you know that I was trying to protect the cop.

Charles Mingus wrote:This is one instance where knowing the player behind the sock would have changed my mind completely, quite a shame. I still don't see any actual reasons for suspecting Hiromi yet and I will fight a lynch against her tomorrow.

Let's see, terrible votes, inacitve, night kill.

There's more then enough reasons to do so, you have been wrong on everyone how about you listen for a change?

I have twice had to vote to save myself.

I left for a while because I didn't want to offend anyone.

I don't understand why the nightkill choice makes me the killer. Can you explain that one to me?

Voting Coleman before I forget/miss it.

I think Charles' assessment is not far off either.

If there is a reason, I'd like to hear it. I just really hope it isn't personal.

Bela Fleck wrote:moved vote

Why do you move your vote to me?

Probably because you're not exactly doing a bang-up job of justifying your existence. That and nobody really wanted to dog-pile on Mingus with him.

Bela didn't exactly do a bang-up job of justifying it.

Hence the"why" part of my question.

I get the suspicion of Ornette, and would vote for him

I am still a little suspicious of Bela, because of who was killed last night. But I also understand that it is a big fat bowl of WIFOM, so I won't act on that.

Do you think anyone else is a confirmed civ? And in general what are your thoughts.

Yes I do! And I've already said as much.

I think you are a nonplayer.

And for what it's worth, Vince Guaraldi is confirmed civ.

I'm sorry for being MIA everyone. I decided to take a little breather after Day 2.

Without reading them, I can guess a couple reasons Ornette is getting votes today. He soft-defended Buble on Day 1. He also voted for Tito despite never mentioning an intention or reason

I dont know who was behind the scoks so i was just teasing

I knownot everyone is aware of the incident that happened to us. we are still acommidaitng to the site ourself

I was intending to mimic another personality who used to play here. I meant no harm.

I am aware of the situation, I just didn't connect the dots between the various socks in this game and how they might react to my statements.

I apologize for my behavior

2. I never said I want to lynch Billie Holiday. My other two suspects are Bill Dixon and Ornette Coleman.

I dont understand why billie would be in danger if bela is lynched

I think bela is scummy in a semi-erotic kind of way

What does semi-erotic kind of way mean?

I would let him take me out to dinner and dance for me

but only if he likes sushi

Billie Holiday wrote:

Charles Mingus wrote:Why is Fleck civ and Hiromi isn't?

Because HIromi is voting on the civ counterwagon to scum. Fleck is acting very town based on meta-I know who this is since he alt slipped.

Maybe if I alt-slip I would be less badder

I don't like that he says I'm stifling discussions since I don't want to talk about socks.

So how about you offer something else. So far you have had 4 posts. Post 1 stating that you are here. Post 2 stating you don't wanna talk about socks. Post 3 was a nuh-uh, you. Post 4 was a nuh-uh, you.

Linki - at what point is he going to play pretty notes past the ones I let out? I'd be willin to agree with you if he actually was trying to move past the "bad notes" but apparently that's not the case.

You seem like the kind of fellow who has played mafia before

can you teach me some of your secrets plz so tht i can look like i know what i'm doing

Bill Dixon is confirmed civ.

Who's down to vote this man with me?

I dig your line of thought. I do, I do. But I'm going to throw my vote at Billy Boy Dixon at the start. That cat was the first (and for a while, the only) one of us to do something the host wanted. Not a bad thing on its own. Waving that fact in our faces in an attempt to gain favor with the host, however, is brown-nosing. Can't stand for that here. No siree.

I hope you dont throw votes at presidential candidates. You'll pribably get arrested

I think my life would be a little more exciting with gunplay and car chases

but I have plenty of explosions for now
