The Syndicate

This is the exact kind of thing that happened in GOC, everyone is getting wrapped up in theor own little theory and no one is listening to anyone at alll. Well, some are a bit, but for the most part, they aren't.

Hopefully we can all take a deep breath and start over again.

Linki, yes some do. But I had no idea what she was saying, maybe you got it in one post, but not getting it in one post does not make someone a baddie.

No, but so many people not getting it does make me think that some might be bad, especially given that the meaning is able to be correctly understood.

It never made you think that she was ambiguous and perhaps not everyne understands her as well as you do? You automatically jump to *suspicious*?

I feel like we are all having different conersations and not one person is listening to any other person.

Except Zebra actually.

I never said I suspected him. I just thought it was rude.

You are.

Right, and for Nerolunar it took a single quick response and for Golden it took no response at all. Just saying.

You realize this kind of attitude can come across as antagonistic, and further fans the flames of fire of people who suspect you due to a misunderstanding, yeah?

How do you separate those who misunderstand, and those who deliberately don't see zebra's point because it is convenient not to? I think zebra's point is pertinent. I didn't find it ambiguous in the slightest, I understood it from the very start. I have trouble accepting its all a big misunderstanding.

Wow.

Can you elaborate?

This coming from you, the master of one word posts? :P

It just seems so ... I can't really explain oit... Just Wow. It seems like a somewhat antagonistic/mean thing for Golden to say. The implication about not understanding something as quickly as Golden did is somehow suspicious or not a genuine feeling, or not to undeerstand it the same way that he did.

I totally misunderstoof Zebra (I think, I am not 100% sure I totally understand her point even now) yet she (and Golden) seem to be implying that it was such a simple thing that it is somehow odd to NOT have gotten it right away (just sayin'). My least favorite mafia (or rl tbh) thing is beingmade to feel stupid. And posts like this^^^^ seem to have that as their mainpoint.

So yeah, Wow.

Some people can't read them on their phones. And some people find it easier to read in context without them.

What does this mean, exactly? I am being serious, I honestly do not understand this sentence

Linki @ Golden, but she DOESN'T think there are baddies on there.

That's not on you, it's worded very poorly since I'm rushing to respond to all of you as quickly as I can.

What I mean to say is that I have yet to see anyone who is concerned or suspects me for what I said about finding the Arkham Asylum option alarming explain to me why finding the option itself (as well as it being so popular) alarming automatically implies that I (for some reason) therefore have to find particular people who voted for it alarming as well. Golden is explaining it for me a lot better than I am myself, sorry.

Thank you.

Linki @ Zebra, MP seems to be on your side. What difference does it make how many posts it took?

Maybe it got lost in all the linki, but Zebra, what does this mean? I am far from stupid, but this sentence is too convoluted for me.

You were alarmed literally by *nothing*

I'm alarmed at the poll option being so popular. I am not alarmed at anyone in particular who voted for it. Why is this impossible to understand?

Kinda.

It just seemed liek you said that for something to say, a throwaway comment. Then when asked about it, you tried to lulz it off with the *null* post.

Linki, OMG what?

Null = Nothing.

You were alarmed literally by *nothing*

Enrique wrote:Okay, I guess I get it. Dom's idea basically was that I wasn't being genuine about Golden role-hinting. Well, it's not something I even believed. I thought my post was clear in presenting it as an alternative to what I actually do believe. If Golden was a cop I wouldn't be going after him, no. Does that make sense?

He did present it as an accusation, though. "I'm not buying it" isn't much of a question especially when you frame it around an inside joke thing that I had no way of interpreting correctly. He can say he doesn't buy Golden hinting at a number, but that I'm lying and obviously understood the reference? Yeah no. That's silly and not really an argument.

I think your suspicion of Dom is fair.

I know that SVS has a favourite number of 8. I didn't know it was because of Lost, and I wouldn't have made an association to Lost. I just happen to know it is her favourite number because it is also mine, and don't see why anyone else should know this.

Actually, I think it is more birthday related~ we both have birthdays on the 8th, which makews it my favorite number AND my favorite LOST number.

Bass_the_Clever - Null

sprityo - Null
Matt - Bad
Scotty - Null
MovingPictures07 - Null
Nerolunar - Null

So you are either refusing to give your reads or your "downright alarming" post was BS.

Which one?

Neither. As humorous as my response is, it is also genuine. I don't have enough content with any of the other players but yourself to be confident in reading them even slightly. I don't see why saying that I find the amount of votes for Arkham Asylum to be alarming - which it is - has to refer to any specific votes or any specific voters.

So you are basically saying that you are so easily alarmed that you literally find "nothing" alarming? Yet were something *really* alarming to happen, I don't imagine you'll go running out of the thread screaming, hmm?

This was kinda why I brought up that point about the Champs game; it's better for civs to lynch either baddies or indies rather than each other.

I have not seen enough yet to think for sure Enri v. Golden is civ/civ, but neither have I seen anywhere near enough to think either is bad. Disagreement =/= baddieness.

Dom wrote:Enrique, how desperate are you to get Golden out of this game and why?

Although I am generally the person who jumps all over Goldens shit at the start, Enriques single mindedness is kinda freaking me a bit here. He has some good points, but so does Golden (some of the Indys will be attritioned out via NKs, or lynches, etc.). I mean we need to keep them in mind, especially if they individually impact our individual win condition, but getting the baddies is paramount, IMO.

Actually, having just hosted the Champs game, I think our goal should be to NOT lynch the other civs, then lynch baddies>lynch Indies.

Golden wrote:@Hosts - what happens if both crime families try to buy off the same cop?

Bass's idea sounds sensible enough, but I'd also point out that everyone from the Asylum appears to be independent. So, it might not help us find the crime families (who seem more analagous to mafia).

But a lot of those independents don't seem exactly friendly.

Independents whom most civvies need dead to win

They do? It doesn't look to me like ANY civilians need the independents dead, to me. Whereas the town definitely needs the crime families dead.

This is literally the first think I noticed when I got my role card, so right back at you.

I really don't think he's a cop based on this post. Not to mention, he could hope to get bought off, but in the end the mafia picks a number, not a player, so he can't exactly angle himself for that.

Although

SVS and I have an 8 bond.

There's a number.

It's a LOST number

Matt wrote:Batman!!

So far, gettin' indie vibes from sig and SVS, and Golden is bein' strange.

I think we should go to Arkham considering the game is Arkham Mafia, but if this is like Star Wars, then we'll probably visit all of these locations eventually.

Btw hosts, is this game based on a mix of different source materials? I did not expect to see the name "Fish Mooney" pop up in what otherwise looks to be a pretty sweet game.

(oh, and if town knows what's good for it, we should probably lynch Wilgy Day 1 just to be safe)

So Matt, which of my two posts gave you that vibe? Was it the throwaway post or was it the one where I said I don't know alot about this topic?

God I have missed playing mafia with you and everyone else. Also on that note I know the games that I signed up for in the past I didn't participate or subbed out its because I got into a serious relationship and couldn't figure out how to balance the two. Me and my lady friend have moved into together so it should make balancing the two a lot easier. So my hat goes off to anyone who has a significant other and plays mafia because it's extremely hard if your significant other is like mine and doesn't like cell phones or laptops out while we are hanging out. Lol

Oh how awesome congrats

And the Asylum makes sense as the scene of the crime; I was thinking that or the Police Station are both good ideas. But I don't know all that much about this universe, so I am willing to listen to those that do.

this one would surprise me not.

I think looking towards the scene of the breakout is not a bad idea. I will vote there.

Though by the end of the day, it may not be a bad idea for multiple people to choose one of each option, just in case...

Since there is a map, yeah, I would guess we are not all going to the winning location, too.

Since my initial impulse was scene of the crime, or the police station, and Arkham has the most voters already,I will go to the police station.
