I think you mean 2-0. But I realize math isn't a strong suit for you Tennesseans.

Sorry gents and ladies, just got home from work. I voted to not make ties, not for specific preferred choices.
Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
MP - Will this thread be available to the RYM Squad after Day 0 ends?
Side notes
DrWilgy was in the thread in the last hour or two, but no comments, no votes.
I could be wrong, but I believe Elohcin and Sorsha are the only two players to vote for the same three options. Not that this means anything either way, but just noting.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Sorry everyone! *Wilgy scratches his head smiling* I've been busy today, I voted. I wanted to vote for 7, but didn't want to cause a tie...
I should be more active tomorrow!

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Matt, I think you're taking the Ricochet thing too seriously if you're accusing him of being a baddie for his Day 0 poll actions. I did skim a little due to feeling rushed because I was a late voter, but it just doesn't seem like a real path to baddie-finding. Maybe causing a tie would hurt the one who caused it, and he's only hurting himself... or maybe it just hurts Syndicate players regardless of their alignment... or maybe it just makes things inconvenient for the hosts because they need this for a future mechanic in the game, which would make it no benefit to Civvies or baddies, just a complication to the hosts. Personally, I think it's the last option. Maybe it's because I just hosted.
A baddie is more likely to lay low and toe the line than to do the opposite, in my experience. How many Mafia games have you played, F?
Linki: I will untie them, then.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Some of his later responses alleviated my concerns, as I noted, but I wanted to press him because I did not understand his comment "I'll leave the problem to you." Later he tells me if I don't understand the comment, then he can't help me, which lead me to believe it is some kind of inside joke or something, yet he still hasn't explained, so who knows.Long Con wrote:Matt, I think you're taking the Ricochet thing too seriously if you're accusing him of being a baddie for his Day 0 poll actions.

Yes, a baddie is more likely to lay low, however when players acknowledge the host in the story post says "no ties", then proceed to make ties and say "You're problem", it's suspicious, IMO.
I've probably played two to three dozen games over the course of two or three years. Not sure exactly, maybe less then two dozen.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
What the "your problem" thing means to me is that there were still other people left to vote, and that the early voters have a lot less responsibility than later voters to ensure that the host's wishes are followed. But I'm not here to explain Rico's behaviour for him. Just my two cents on the matter, better than talking about nothing.
Any thoughts on the roles? I have some questions about them that I was considering earlier, but I might wait till everyone from RYM joins us. Or maybe I should ask now, and just give them an info-blast with the answers when we merge!

Agreed on "better then talking about nothing", even though some believe my suspicions are unfounded.Long Con wrote:What the "your problem" thing means to me is that there were still other people left to vote, and that the early voters have a lot less responsibility than later voters to ensure that the host's wishes are followed.

Here's the thing...I agree with you completely. That's exactly the way I took his "your problem" statement. I suppose we have different interpretations of the same thing, though. I feel that by him passing the buck like that, while acknowledging we need to avoid ties, while also voting for option 6 which was already, IMO, perfect at 0 votes...it just rang suspish. In addition, him telling me "if you don't get it, can't help you" when he could've simply taken two seconds to explain what you just did...none of it rings townie in my book. At one point, he asked me not to twist his words, and I responded "I don't think I have, but if I have, please let me know" to which he didn't respond to that particular point. Why ask me not to twist his words when I have not done so?
Anyway, despite all that, I acknowledge it's very early in the game and we haven't met the RYMers yet. Ricochet answered my questions, and some of them were acceptable enough for me to move on (for the moment).
I skimmed the roles when I signed up, but that's about it. Usually I wait until Night 1 to really study the roles, because there really isn't any point to do so until then anyway.Long Con wrote:Any thoughts on the roles?

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Okay, so I guess a disclaimer is needed, until I most likely run into the same issue with the RYMers bunch.
This is - unless my math is also shit (which usually it totally is) - my 10th mafia game on The Syndicate. It's also my last game of 2015.
I want to have fun with this game. Talking Heads is fun and zany music, so I want to have fun and be zany. I'm no die hard, long time fan or anything, but ever since I finally got into albums such as their debut or Remain in Light, their music constantly pumps me up and gets me in a good groove.
So I plan an immersion in the theme, no matter how much players usually dislike that, once the game properly starts. I would add that this will not influence my usual gameplay.
My immersion will take a shape that should be easy to tell, in principle, and me explaining it would simply be no fun. All I can say is separate what looks like real content from what looks like something extra or odd. Research, google, do whatever with the extra part and it should become clear. It might also help looking for this little indicator over here -> , which will be my official emoticon for this game.
So how much fun you will let me have with this is up to you, but until then, I'm gonna rock it 'till I shock it, gonna kick it 'till I drop it.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Do you mind if I end up stealing some thunder and pull my own version of fun/zany? It's about time I had a game I didn't take seriously and this theme is perfect for such an occasion.Ricochet wrote:Okay, so I guess a disclaimer is needed, until I most likely run into the same issue with the RYMers bunch.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Ricochet, I figured it was already (at some point I even asked if it was a song lyric), but after your disclaimer, I googled "Talking Heads" and "I'll leave the problem to you." and sure enough, song lyric.
I think you should have as much fun as anyone else during this game, however, I do not think the town should be required to google all of your posts to see if you are being straight or just quoting song lyrics to fit with your post. When you say things like "I'll leave the problem to you", to those of us who are not knowledgeable in Talking Heads song lyrics, it comes across suspicious, FYI.
Glad we cleared that up, though.

There were no quotes, so no, it was not obvious that he was quoting lyrics. Perhaps to you, and perhaps to the remaining 14 players, it was obvious.Epignosis wrote:Was it really not that obvious that he was quoting lyrics?
All I saw was someone acknowledge that ties are bad, proceed to vote for an option with zero votes (when no other option had zero votes), then say "I'll leave the problem to you." <---- (see the quotes? Yeah I didn't see them when he said it)
