The Syndicate

...nothing to do nowhere to go...

It was on the Piano, a defunct site ( ) a few years back. Last i heard LC was trying to g=bring it, and it's priceless Mafia database, back. A lot of the history of a large part of this group is there.

Linki, yup

Bork bork bork!

Since we are playing with text generators, Lorab had this in Muppets, she Swedish Chefified people.

Thees is oone-a ooff my fefureetes, zee Svedeesh Cheff Trunsleter. Hurty flurty schnipp schnipp! Lureb used thees oone-a in zee Mooppets geme-a. Zee seete-a elsu hes Ilmer Foodd. Bork bork bork!

Elmer Fudd:

I have nevew seen this one used in a game, but it wouwd be especiawwy funny to see some of the wowdiew postews fowced ti use Ewmew Fudd speak.

No the big was actually easier to read, now that I look at it. The colors were more jarring, but it was easier to decipher

LC already has a Colourizer, don't you? Note the spelling? Did that just for you

It's a huge PITA on phone though, lol. HUGE.

There was one before that as well. Where is Scorsese~

I have an idea as to why, based on what llama said, although I could be wrong

Perhaps more people should take part in Mongooses Special Events, hrm?

And yes I am paying attention

Oh you mean his second rezz? Lots of people are online invisible all the time. Lame reasoning for thinking someone took a specific action, IMO.

He could be bad, I go back and forth on him.

Linki, I am sorry you feel that way. But I do think you are bad, yes. I have not hidden that.

Well, we now know MP rezzed BWT. This sounds very non committal and waffly and wishy washy. This post almost makes me think MM is his partner.

But I still think that bad Llama would have been too careful to take a leading role in yet another lynch after the vomps fiasco, so I am still botd with an eye on him going forward.

Linki, because that was how it felt to me.

Good, now I know how to 'steam your kettle' for the next few days.

That is not how I read this.

It was also not how I read your post saying that you think I was capable of the crazy crap Made is outlining, when you have very limited experience of my bad game. I know you are saying that my civvie awesomeness has so overwhelmed you that you think I must be an amazing baddie, but i don't particularly buy that. Me & Roxy are on your short list; so whether you agree with Made about llama or not is irrelevant. Roxy & I are collateral to his theory.

Linki, sorry not going to read those. I asked you to please quote them.

And you have not said why you would want to intentionally upset someone.

I saw it and replied to it twice; I believe that was the post I referred to as "weasel words". And can you please QUOTE it? I am in bed with my phone lol, and clicking links is a pain in the ass. And even when not on phone it makes it harder to follow. If you want to also put in the link to make the context easier to find, that's cool.

And by both, Made, i mean you & I. I know it isn't true, and I think you do, too.

Linki, no, but we have a preteen in another game that MM is playing.

To be honest I have been really focused on you but other people are starting to get my attention. I also have my eye on Rico, Roxy,and also something about BR caught my attention during my re read so thats like my top 4. Who is your top suspects at this time?

Roxy. The previous lynch looks like a save, for more than any of the vomps lynch 'saves'.

Lower on my radar. SVS, LC, and you.

Players I've watched but can't decide on: Rico and Made.

But you DO agree on the Roxy & me suspish (re Roxy I thought I saw something that would make her civ after a good reading of the roles, but )

Linki~ I think Llama COULD be bad, but my experience of him says he is not. I feel that he would have been more circumspect on the Blooper lynch had he been bad, especially after dragging the whole thread through a 3 day Vompathon. So i am sure this plays into your story about me & llama, but as we both know, it is not true

Linki,um maybe change it for now. Talk to MP about that; I was not under the impression that we were family friendly in general.

OK, I will remember that and keep it in mind as you post and vote the next few days.

Thats a weasel answer, and you know it. I read that, i was replying to it.

You have no idea what i would and would not do as a baddie, so it sounds to me like you were just saying that to give Mades story a little momentum.

So why exactly would you put nothing past ME specifically?

And what in your experience with me leads you to "not put anything past me"? IIRC, most of my really crazy baddie crap was well before I met you, or before there even was a Syndicate.

Tell me about the shenanigans that led you to this conclusion?

MM, Perhaps i was distracted by the "Rob", lol, Sorry

Linki, I think he is accusing you of setting up suspicion on me & Roxy intentionally, so you could back off of us and thereby we ALL would look less suspicious. That seems to be where this is headed. Extreme distancing, if you will.

I could be wrong, but that seems to be what he is saying.

linki@ MM~ then you have never had baddie BTS with me becasue i do not distance, and I do not do "plans". But it will be fun seeing what Made have cooked up.

Made wrote:Also, Just noticed, Gag's off for Champion game. My chain of thinking right now is Llama might be trying to pull what i pulled in that game. Give someone attention, then absolving them, thus removing them from most people's radar.

Gag's off? Is that what Rob did with the baddies in that game?

No one should ever talk about games in progress in another game thread. Epi should not have needed to specify that.

Are you saying you think llama, me & roxy set up an elaborate distancing scheme or something to that effect?

I have to go to sleep, but I can't look forward to this

I told you the other day, they do not apply. This one:

thellama73 wrote:SVS hasn't really brought me up as a suspect before. Now she doesn't trust me. She knows I am on her trail and she is scared. Watch for me to be the mindless bandwagon alternative to Vomps tomorrow.

is predicated on Vomps being bad.

I am by no means defending him, but a vote for me would not have been any more reasonable than a vote for Bloop was, and I am not sure why you are saying so.

Do YOU suspect me, Made?

Made wrote:

S~V~S wrote:I thought his main reason for suspecting me, at least, was tied to Vomps being bad. When Vomps came up civ, that reason was gone.

His main reason was gone, but he multiple other reason. My question is why did he want to vote Ninjabloop right then rather than continuing suspicions of you and Roxy where relevant?

But his suspicions of me weren't relevant; why do you keep saying this?

I thought his main reason for suspecting me, at least, was tied to Vomps being bad. When Vomps came up civ, that reason was gone.

I thought the same, but MM was acting like this had not been discussed, so I pointed out to him where it had been.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I just realized that blooops didn't actually win the lynch. Why hasn't anyone discussed this yet?

I don't think it's worth it. *touches nose*

Anything could have affected it though. There has been a few prizes given out so I am leaning towards that thought, otherwise let's not worry about it ok?

What I am really worried about is... wait for it.... who are the baddies? Cause I have no idea.

I'm still looking at Roxy, only because she's my best guess at this point.

Yes, I know how.

Everybody, from now on, in any game, when Llama asks for your opinion, say:

I don't make cases. Why are you obsessed with my opinion!!?!?!?

Or maybe just this video:



Or both...

also, I'm kinda just asking permission as a formality, I'm pretty sure I know where my vote is going tomorrow....

What do you mean? It's the night phase until tomorrow.

I say this all the time, in terms of "Mafia tomorrow" like the next day phase. Although apparently Made missed the extension.

*he

And why would be still be looking at me, Made?

Earlier in the day, though, you said something to someone, maybe Canuck? Kinda trying to cajole them into a Bloop vote.

Never mind, I was half asleep. I got Almodovar mixed up with Bergman.

thellama73 wrote:Why are people so interested in my suspicion? I am always wrong. Ask about Black Rock's suspicion.

I asked because you were the one pushing Blooper. And then none of us took your opinion yet she was lynched anyhow.

That sucks BTW Blooper. I appreciate your help the other day.

*obsessed*

lol

I have to go drag the dog through the snow (such a wimp!) and go do some RL stuff.

i am going to vote MM. Don't trust him. Don't trust Rico, either, tbh, but don't trust MM even more.

Linki~

I am not sure of the reasons why, but he is still suspicious of us, TH.

Linki, that's very anti climactic Llama. Very, lol. Not voting Blooper

And how does this resemble it?

We don't even have an SK this game, only team baddies.

Has anyone tried to push away from blooper? Other than me thinking blendiness is not a major criteria after we have lynched so many civs?

has she had any defenders? Or redirectors?

S~V~S wrote:Um, I looked back to the top of my page, and Llama called her "literally insane", I see. Rox is very sensitive to slights & insults. Calling her "literally insane" is just calculated to piss her off & upset her.

Telling people they are insane becasue you disagree with their playstyle does not bring out the best in them, lol. So if that is what set her off, she won't be getting my vote.

False. I said the argument that critiquing someone's vote record is the same as telling them how to vote is literally insane, not that Roxy is. A sane person can make insane arguments.

If I read it that way, you can guarantee that she did, and that she reacted to that.

So tel me about Blooper, Llama.

linki, nvm, you already did

Turnip Head wrote:Bass could you be a bit more specific about what you're seeing with MM? You compared his gameplay to Monopoly but do you have any specifics to go with that comparison?

He seemed to be adding a lot to the thread without really adding anything. He asked everyone what their thoughts were like he is in this game. He also didn't throw around a lot of peoples names saying he thought they were bad. It could be the way he plays but that's the most recent game I played with him.

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He keeps bringing up the same few people. Me, LC, Roxy. LC & The Vomp Savers. Maybe we could get a few gigs in small, local venues. Do Finnish folk music.

TH, what did you think of Bass' answer?

She's blendy? That's the point? I am going to reread her, but I would rather vote actively suspicious than blendy if that is all there is to it.

I am not sure I get the Blooper suspish. Can I get the tl;dr on that?

thellama73 wrote:

S~V~S wrote: Personally, I dislike your suspicions as well (although I have no opinion on Bass yet, his blendiness is level regardless of alliliation), and am potentially going to vote you today.

I got the impression that she was annoyed at people for telling her how to play when she made the points about conforming. And she did not vote for AP solely becasue other people were doing so; she also was suspicious of him, as it clearly states in the post. Your posts the entire game are this kind of thing; misinterpreting and extrapolating out of context.

And since you don't elaborate here, can you tell us what these "un-civvie like" remarks are?

I got the impression she was doing that too, but no one was telling her how to play ever, so I found it weird. And when I pointed out to her that no one was telling her how to play she didn't say "oh, I misunderstood" but rather "I know no one is telling me how to play! Rarrrrr!"

Also, although I still suspect Rico heavily, I think the gender confusion thing is a weak reason for it.

I'm leaning towards a Ninja Blooper lynch, but Roxy is still on my radar.

Why did you choose to clip out the post I was responding to? Or note that I was replying to Metalmarsh? My remarks are much less in alignment with yours with the context left in:

S~V~S wrote:

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Roxy. Her vote of AP on Day 1.2 was a complete turnaround from her previous stance.

Roxy wrote:I need to vote now bc my youngest son Nic is here and we are gonna watch Pulp Fiction -
My strongest ping so far is Made but no one seems too bothered by him I am voting AP I think the points are valid and between his vote, timing and lack of anything since the last vote is bewildering even for AP.

Not only this, but she made a big deal about her play style on Day 3. She made some specific comments about it that I found uncivvie-like. She was addressing questions that were never asked. But another point from those comments is this post.

Roxy wrote:What other reason have you given to find me suspicious except my votes?

You seem even more suspicious to me bc suddenly you are willing to conform and vote for vomps - someone you said was prob not bad but ofc today you see suspicion from Vomps lol. You voted others before this lynch - why, suddenly this lynch do you feel the need to conform and vote Vomps?

So on Day 1, Roxy votes AP rather than Made because no one else is interested in voting for Made. But then she accused me of 'conforming' with my vote on Day 3, after she had already done so before.

On top of that, there are the no-u reactions to my suspicions.



Others I am looking at, Bass, LC, and SVS.

Personally, I dislike your suspicions as well (although I have no opinion on Bass yet, his blendiness is level regardless of alliliation), and am potentially going to vote you today.

Linki, I don't really get a baddie vibe from Roxy. And I can think of examples of both bad & civ occasions that llama acted this way. I am not sure enough, or even at all, really, to vote for llama. I <3 the guy, but we disagree on everything. TH may be right.

Black Rock wrote:

Dom wrote:BR, I wouldn't say I am the best at reading Rox, but what makes you read bad about her?

It's the whole thing between her and Llama, just seems emotional. Not sure how to read it myself. It just is pinging me something fierce.

S~V~S wrote:I thought I saw something that made me think she could be a civ fairly early in the game. And Rox can be touchy, good or bad, so if she is bitching at someone, it does not necessarily make her bad. When she is bad, it feels a bit meaner; theres a bit of venom she does not have when civ. All i saw before today was indignant, not venom. I have to reread today, I just walked in the door, and I have to finish rereading MM as well.

Thank you SVS, your opinion means a great deal to me here. You are probably right. I'm going to read that part over now and see what he said exactly. What's your opinion on Llama?

Well, Llama knows he can rub people the wrong way, and sometimes I think he pushes that a bit, not unlike DH. I could see him pushing a few easily pushed buttons in order to provoke a reaction. Maybe a distraction. What direction was the thread going when the Roxy thing blew up?

Up to this, I was more suspicious of the people who coattailed his case, and still kinda am, I think. My main suspects were MM, Ricochet & Made, mainly for their riding Llamas Vompy coattails, you know? And I thought I saw a post where one of them seemed to turn on him a bit when i was skimming earlier, but i don't recall who. I also noticed Canuck & Llama making a push at Blooper. I have to finish reading.
