The Syndicate

I hid from the thread too, mostly out of mortification.

If so I greatly apologize. In all honesty I was afraid I had accidently locked it while using my iPad. crap.

The votes were 1-1-1 when I came in.

I figured it was an accident and went ahead and unlocked it. I hope that was ok.

That was weird, I came to vote and found the thread was locked. How long was it locked for?

I took a shot in the dark and voted one of the three who already have votes. Sorry if you are good Made...

I'm confused. Looking at the poll Rox had the most votes didn't she? But ninjablooper got lynched instead?

I apologize for falling out of touch with this game, but I am back now and want to give it my best. I will try to catch up but any help getting the gist of where we are now would be greatly appreciated.

I'm very sorry to have missed the last couple votes, I've been kind of swamped with stuff. I will do my best to catch up and stay in step from now on.

Ugh, just ignore me.

Oh for the love, Alex just pointed out to me that the vote isn't until tomorrow night. Sorry guys. I was really confused.

Sadly no. I have not had time to adequately catch up. I'm going to self vote because I literally have no time before I have to go back into work.

I know exactly what Canuck means~ you come across as more hyperbole than anything sometimes. Back in the day, that was bad MP. But these days, that is always MP. You didn't used to do this all the time. This is part of why you get lynched early alot these days, imo. You might want to throttle back on the drama words just a tiny bit. When you use those words & phrases, I visualize a sock dressed like Snidely Whiplash; just a bit over the top. Like that time you said, "How Dare You?" to me in the context of an internet Mafia game; overkill much? *Sees a Sock Twirling its' Mustache*

This is all very true, and why I tend to always think MP is bad as well. Although for me it is not so much the hyperbole as the "overly reasonable" demeanor, where he seems to very thoughtfully take in everyone's opinion and analyze it. I know he always does it, but it always reads like a baddie trying too hard to seem helpful.

LOL, that is MP in everyday life. Decisions never come quickly in our house.

EBWOP: that doesn't mean we SHOULDN'T engage with them...

Thoughts:

I did not read llama's question of ricochet as overly aggressive and if I may say so I'm impressed with his answer, even if it was a non-answer. It read to me like, look bitch if you want to accuse me, put your money where your mouth is and make an accusation, otherwise I don't want to answer a silly question with a silly answer. It's pointless. Bravo!

LC, don't find anything suspicious here either but I have the benefit of having played with this crowd for a good long while. Strategic thinking regarding roles and questions regarding roles are normal with the old timers, it used to be fairly consistent Day 0/1 conversation. And I think it makes sense to do so. I also disagree with the idea of the read of pissed off baddie. Trust me, if a baddie is pissed off they bitch at the host, they don't vent about it in thread, even passive aggressively. LC is an experienced enough player to know that.

BWT, wth? He is finally playing more actively and y'all are voting him? I'd rather give it time to see what kind of read I get on him first.

Vomp, I disagree with llama. Vomps plays a more active game when he likes the theme. His role is pretty irrelevant to his activity in my experience.

voting for new players, short of a baddie slip up outing themselves I like to let them get a little more time under their belt before I vote them. They don't get a free pass all game, but Day 1, yeah. But that doesn't mean we should engage with them, question them like anyone else. How else will they get experience?

Who am I voting? Lizzie. Why? I don't know, shot in the dark. All my reading only turned up with things I didn't really find suspect so whatever.

I am here, I just haven't been in because this started right when my new job did. I'll try to catch up tomorrow evening.
