This post has been in my head.

I don't see anyone standing out with mafia behavior but with so many new (to the syndicate) players, it will be hard to tell. Plus several players have yet to say anything or much.
@ G-Man - do you plan on keeping this gimmick up all game? How will be know your suspects or how will you make a case for anyone. I do think your gimmick is pretty awesome this game. It would be really cool as an insanifier. However, I am not sure you can actually
play the game this way. Am I underestimating the G-Man?

Lol. Real funny. :P
But you're wrong.
But...but...what if I'm right?
Not possible, my friend.
How many drinks have you had? :P
At my age, I stop counting. 14 is a close mark.
Trying to discredit me?
I went to bed close to 11pm and he wasn't drunk at the time. I think its said this post was around 11:30 or so.
My initial reaction to Epi dogging MP was that Epi was just having fun, maybe trying to do MP a favor the week before his wedding and get him lynched. This was reinforced for me when Epi mentioned Daisy. Then this comment about staking his Mafia reputation on MP being bad, kind of a joke playing on something that happened in Watchmen.
But this remark from Eloh got me thinking. If Epi was sober during this it doesn't feel so jokey anymore.
This whole conversation felt false to me. I kind of think Epi was trying to bus MP~ and maybe MP asked him to back off. So he turned to low posters not even halfway through day one, lol. In any case, I don't want to commit to this yet. But I wanted to throw the option out there. I would like to see how they react to this. Since on the other hand this would be somewhat sloppy for Epi, not nearly Byzantine enough.
A few other random thoughts~ I always find self imposed posting restrictions to be suspect. It's a nice way to be cryptic, and avoid actually answering questions and participating while being memorable and leaving people with a smile on their faces. So G-Mans Magic 8 Ball also has my eye, especially if he keeps it up after Day One.
And re Xander & the Xtacles~ I think some sort of coordination is built into the game, or llama would not have given Xander the messaging power. Hopefully Xander used LCs idea & sample post to ask the host the right questions re what is and is not allowed. Without BTSC, thread coordination is what the civvies have.
Also I hate ranking lists, rainbow or otherwise. In a two baddie game, it's just a shopping list for baddies, and I tend to suspect people who make them in 2 bad team games. This has 1 set of baddies and then baddies lite~ the set up reminds me of the set up in HSK a bit, except for the Xtacle Asploder. So I won't find it all that suspicious if others do it, but I am unlikely to be doing it myself. Perhaps later in the game when I have better impressions of everyone.
