The Syndicate

Send in your combination choice at any time during the day. You have until the lynch is up to change if you wish.

Can I trust you?

meant to say allign, I hope you know. Even typing it just now my auto correct tried to change it to allifn. I don't get it. Do you really want to allign or are you just pulling an Epi?

Whether there are any contests or events in this game will heavily influence with whom I choose to allign myself.

So I was gonna claim but the Syndicatequake ate my role pm.

Pretty sure I am some sort of mixing element.

LC just PMed me.

Apparently, I am purple.

Let's vote out the most beloved and popular person first. Cause you know that people will vote to lynch you over popular person, amiright?

speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 12:57 pm There aren't enough elements for players, btw. There could be more than one darkness player.

Riding the tide of sorsha's thing, I'll give an opposite thing: Good things happen if I find a holy element. For both of us.

@LC and BR: Are element combinings reversible? Is fire+darkness the same as darkness+fire?

I thought that they had said there were two players with each element except only one Holy, but that would be if there were 19 players and there seem to be 20, so maybe it's just two per element

Until the end, yeah. Assuming we ally and all that.

Honesty is the best policy, in my opinion. Why, in Survivor Mafia, I was killed for being too honest about my intentions. I never betrayed anybody.
If I say I'm gonna align, I mean it.

This. This is a very different set up from Survivor. I want to go through a cycle before I commit.

Yeah I definitely agree with s~v~s I want to wait one phase to commit to an alliance.

You have the holy element, don't you? Admit it! You're boing too nice to everyone not to be holy!

I respect this.

Yeah, me too, although putting people in the position of publicly begging may make them hold a grudge against the person who made them beg, so that is something to keep in mind.

I have a "People I won't vote for Day One" list. DH is one of them due to the hatchet job I did on him in Survivor.

Can I fill out an application?

I am voting No Lynch, for nobody has upset me yet and I am a coward.

Actually, although I dislike "No Lynch" in standard games, I could see myself voting there, too, until we have night results and see what is what. I don't want to be annoying to the hosts and change my vote too often, but I am going to change it now.

Also, I wish whoever put than anon vote on Golden would fess up.

If this is how you're playing, then you should vote out all females too. Females tend to win LMS games.

This sounds like a very sweet comment, but it's ultimately a rejection. I don't think I like this. I'm voting glorfindel.

Man I messed up some quotes. Sorry.

@Eloh

But that would be sexist. :o

I have voted No Lynch as well. For now. Unless someone has an issue with that, in which case I will gladly vote for them.
I'm itching to get some night results.

Ninja'd:
Sounds good, Eloh.

Btw, chuck, I'm open to discuss my vote with you. They are changeable, so....

I just didn't like how glorf's could reject G so sweetly. It was weird for me. G...you are welcome to join chuck and I if you want.

Jack...it's just a game strategy. People read too much into things these days and are so easily offended.

Eloh, have you played with Glorfindel before? This is pretty much his norm.

I feel like every post I've seen glorfindel make has been just super nice, even when not in this game. I'm currently on no-lynch, but I don't mind switching over.
LMS games are so weird.
If G-Man switches, I'll hop over and seal the deal. Good?

It appears no one wants red.

Shame.

Eloh, you asked earlier if you could trust someone. Do you think you could trust me?

So... every post Glorfindel makes seems super nice to you, so you are going to "seal the deal" on lynching him for doing something he always does? Am I understanding this correctly?

Elo, Glorf is the nicest guy in all of mafia. This is no reason to vote for him. In fact if he is willing I will gladly align with him, because I've no question or doubt he will be a loyal in an alliance as far as he is able and perhaps even more. So what say you Glorf?

LMS.

If I was going to lynch him for being nice, I'd already have my vote on him. As it is, I'm not in an alliance with Glorfindel, so I could go either way. Such is the weirdness of LMS.

As you all know only too well, loyalty is a matter I take most seriously and the very concept of betrayal is foreign to me. As for formal alignments, I think our friend Speedchuck has displayed here just how fickle this game is likely to be. There are a number of people playing this game with whom I have a long (and relatively happy) association. I am not comfortable committing myself to an alignment with someone if that consequently means that I put myself at odds with another. And for the benefit of my friend Eloh, this is not a rejection or repudiation of your offer SD, it's me simply being honest.

Whether or not Glorf is interested in forming alliances, I don't care to lynch him this early anyway. It's been too long, buddy.




yes, I will take a scoop of ice cream with those brownie points.

Indeed it has, my friend

Unless circumstances change dramatically before EoD, I'm voting No Lynch for now. Thanks.

Well regardless of if he will align with me, I fully intend to protect him, so if you're voting for Glorf you can expect me to be placing my vote on one of you. Though frankly, after a month of mafia absence I might prefer a no lynch today to not give anyone the boot so quickly.

That's my way of trying to advocate a no lynch for today.

Basically, Eloh, I'm willing to vote along with you. At the moment, though, I doubt it's in our best interests, or to the health of the game.

No lynch will at least give everyone a chance to use their element. I hope I hit holy.

I was the first to consider a no lynch.

You too!

Any thoughts on Bass' question; do you see and benefits or drawbacks to sharing info about our roles etc?

I think prefer not to, especially this early without having discussed it. But I do know that discussing things like this is something LC likes to do himself when he plays, so I am open to sharing if people present good reasons for it.

Going to be catching up throughout the night. The only drawback to sharing our roles is that folks who submitted that element among their three might know that player is someone they want to merge elements with early and often if the combination yields advantageous results. This really only applies to someone with a dangerous role but we don't know if/which elements are more dangerous than others. We're all trying to kill each other in the end here, so best just to not overthink it.

This early in the game i'm not sure if there's any benefit in doing so. It would make for a boring couple of lynches, knowing everyone's role already. I like the Element of Surprise

Gotta say, I was tempted to vote for you over that punny business.

In answer to your question about whether my Dom vote was random or not... I am Schrodinger's golden. There's something a little quantum going on with this game...

*Sigh* as much as I think we should lynch someone, I see how it would be popular to have a no lunch so that everyone has a bit more time to play. Why don't we just ask the hosts to make sure the day lasts 48 hours instead of 24. Wouldn't hat be pretty much the same thing?

And G-Man, you are so clever and funny. Love your responses. I see you didn't respond to my question though. Chuck and I aren't good enough for ya?

No it wouldn't be the same thing.

Why do you think we should lynch someone being as there are no real baddies or civvies in this set up?
