[END] The Syndicate's 2013 Game of Champions

#851

I am worried about the specter of Zodac in this vote today. Given how he operates I have to believe he picked Media as one of his two people last night and god knows who as his other person (thanks Epig for the explanation of the role). So, I feel better waiting to vote for Media until the 3rd day. Unfortunately, that doesn't leave me with a great candidate to vote today. I'm considering one of the VAL's but I'm not totally convinced anymore that Lizzie is bad, and I'm not sure about Vomps or A Person either.

On the other hand, maybe I'm worrying too much about Zodac. Maybe he would just kill Media and we'd be done with it. How are the rest of you feeling that are considering a vote for Media? Mongoose, I'd love to hear your thoughts but you are really constrained with respect to being able to discuss freely. Maybe you could try and I'll see if I get it. Everyone else, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hustler #2 was a pretty good issue.

Same thing Bullzeye said:

Good point. Too much risk that it'll go to MP or a dead/non. I'd guess they picked something between 10 and 20, based on the logic we used in Mario.

I feel like my eyes are bleeding.

I am willing to wait until Day 3 to take out the trash.

Right now I am torn between VAL and Epi. I think a good point was made that Epi did not act in the civ best interest yesterday and he seems to have gone unscathed as well. However, Epi has been contributing actively and is always a threat to baddies, so it could be a way to get him out early.

I will make a decision this morning I think because I dont want to be a later voter.

#855

Something just occurred to me.

I think OK Computer sealed his own fate.

If this is true:

"So, all night actions should be randomized. That'll be fun."

Then that means Zodac's targets would be random also, no?

Is that part of media powers that its random or we just think That Guy was telling us what was to come?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but S~V~S said this was the original powers:

S~V~S wrote:Linki @ JC~ actually the kill was from a similar role in Dr Seuss, I changed it to Chaos as 2 kills were kinda "meh", this was Media as originally played:

Media: She controls what you see, what you think, what you know. She gains power via popularity. *Secret* Sliding scale of powers based on thread mentions other than by her teammates, QUOTES DO NOT COUNT.

0 mentions = No power; 1-5 = Block One Vote, 6-10 = Alignment check; 11-15 = cast a curse; 16-20 =Block 2 votes, 21-25 = Blanket team protection (from all powers); 26+ Chaos~ randomly redirect all night powers other than your teams.

You are responsible for keeping count, we might double check you. You must use the blanket protection before gaining another one, and can cause Chaos only once in the game.

#858

Hedge, this was Media in our game American Gods and the highest level was chaos (randomly redirect night powers).

Epig, that's a very interesting point you make about Zodac's targets. Maybe Media is the way to go today after all.

Actually, I got to choose 3 roles to exclude from the chaos. Myself, obviously. Zodac, also obviously. And Moriarty.

#862

Well if that is true Sexy Programmer, then who are you planning to vote for today?

Thnks Juliet's and Epi. Some of this info slips past me.

Why would you exclude yourself? What would have been the consequence of you NOT excluding yourself?

Also, I can't remember because the game was so long ago, but did we write fake kill attempts into the Night Posts in Avant Garde?

Epi, you just keep me hanging on.

I did not see anything in the host post that looked contrived by someone else.

I did write fake kill attempts into the Night posts in Avant 2, but they were never listed in the section that says "Player A has survived a kill by Team X."

(Remember the awesome time we said S~V~S had only two days to live and everyone believed it?)

This is why I think he's lying. If he was randomising targets then his targets were everyone. It doesn't make any sense for him to have not randomised particular people.

PS: This curse sucks. More imaginative next time please!

"Hustler # 2"

He may have already answered this, but: It would seem to me that, because of Petey Piranha Plant's ability, it is safest to be the first person to vote at this point, and it would be unwise for PPP to choose number 2.
1. You could vote before or after the host, technically becoming number 1 or number 2 on the poll.
2. Any number of non-players keeping track of the game could vote the final poll option, potentially rendering the number 2 completely useless to PPP.

If this has already been discussed to death

I'd be happy to vote our attention whoring friend, given Epi's realization about Zodac.

#870

You just keep me hanging on, Voldemort. But I think we can't get too narrowly focused, and we need to try to draw more people out. We should try to get everyone to share their thoughts, and then later, when it gets dark, we go home.

Great point, Epi!
I'm still hesitant to vote for the Sexy Beast, today, though. Something still feels off about this whole thing. Like his sexiness is distracting us from something that should have stuck out to us early on. I'm not set in my ways yet, I am still considering a vote for the Naked Red One. That's a whole different kind of sexy that I don't think I want to keep around. Plus her "Baddie hunting" may just be her looking for a good target for the next night.

I don't know, though. I'm going to reread her when I get a chance today.

You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Linki: I never heard about that! I'm sad that I missed it!!

#879

Ok, who is the naked red one?

#880

Ok, I decided I am voting el Wombat rather than waiting more. I feel the same about the VAL voting bloc and if this draws their ire so be it.

Hedge is there a specific reason you picked el Wombat over L or A? I am looking that direction if i don't vote for the other one and I'm trying to find things that differentiate one from another.

Also, my mind is open at the moment for other possibilities for baddies or Bob but I'm also worried about voting late.

Well at this point Lizzy has been the most active and participating, while AP and Vomps have not. I know AP has a histroy of being lynched early, whereas we often give Vomps a pass. As others have said this id the culmination of all the games of this year so step it up or get voted out is how I feel. Vomps has posted 6 times and and the one below where he voted and gave no reason is the start.

I figure there are two ways to go about it. Lynch lizzy and then vomps and AP will not "follow" her votes or lynch vomps and AP and then there are no vote followers. However, lizzy is playing, and giving reasons for her votes even if bad ones.

The awesome thing about that was that S~V~S was killed two real life days later, so the lie became true.

I think Epi is right about this, and I don't see how Voldemort could be excluding roles not on his team; it just doesn't seem logical or plausible. I will almost certainly be voting him today. I don't see why there's an Epi suspicion right now, with useful stuff like this that he's posting, and I ALWAYS think he's bad.

By the way, juliets, Media was a super creative idea for a role!
