The Syndicate

Um... because that's the point of the game. To lunch people until there's one.

Haha...lynch, not lunch. I promise I don't want to eat you.

Normally I would agree with you, but this is a LMS game after a long site hiatus, so normal "rules" don't apply. I just think lynching people because they are nice is a bad plan. As a person who is nice yourself, I am surprised you would be the one to promote this plan.

Good idea, but it's more fun to vote out the new people first.

Me popular I presume?

*Mr

Hm it would seem in benefit to have a partner yes?

I want to extend a truce to Jack due to the events of ME mafia, which provided me with ample respect for a man who can back people off of himself. (In one way or the other )

Has anyone been sharing who they would like to visit tonight? That is probably where our most valuable information will lie throughout this game after all.

NO LYNCH as well, since this is the popular opinion of the day

We can be pals, Sprityo.

Question: what type of element would opt of a no lynch in this charade?

Are you asking, which element would not want a no lynch? Or are you asking which element would want a no lynch?

I can say, my wanting a no lynch result has nothing to do with my element, and everything to do with not cutting someone's game short prematurely. I don't see the harm in allowing everyone one full cycle of play before we start lynching people, personally.

Yeah, I think it'd just be nice for everyone to have a night to use their element. That's why I'm where I am. Nothing to do with my role.

I don't think each element has a reason to lynch or no-lynch. We all only know a third of our role or so, based on the connections we asked for.

I'm voting No Lynch because it's only fair given the site troubles.

Not sure I confirmed my NO LYNCH in the thread.

I wasn't voting for glorf because he was nice. I was voting because he wasn't straightforward. He beat around the bush to reject gman as an ally.

But I don't care about any of the other elements, so . We can let random chance handle it.

What's with this? Are we to assume that Speed is now Holy Speed? Is he gonna start hugging people to free them of their pain?

I think assigning any "good" or "bad" value to a specific element, before we know how they work in regards to NK's and the like is a bit silly.

Who are we to say that holiness is an inherently benevolent quality in this game? At the end of the day, every single one of us needs every single other person gone, so any special roles that are both not mine, and also not belonging to someone who is aligned with me, I can only interpret as threats.

Seeing as there's no BTSC, for me at least, I feel like honesty is the best policy.

My Element is Earth.

A team-up with Water, Metal, or Light is mutually beneficial.

I will fuse with the first person who publicly requests me to do so.

Fuse with me INH.

catching up

I think, my friend that you are reading something into my comments that wasn't there. This is the exchange to which you refer:

G-Man wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 12:19 pmGlorfindel- I'll be your friend this game. I promise!

I ask nothing from you G other than the respect and genuine affection that I shall show you. Beyond that, you should do whatever you need to win this game and I'll not hold that against you. I believe that you have all the qualities necessary to excel in this game and wish you only the very best of luck, my friend

I interpreted G's remark in the context of an historical reference to our last game together (Battlestar Galactica) in which he adopted a highly aggressive but nonetheless effective posture towards me. I have since learnt that the 'G' that I experienced that game was a work of fiction and doesn't resemble in the slightest the truly great guy he is. I did NOT in any way interpret his remark as an overture for an alliance and my response to him was nothing more than a sincere expression of the respect I have for him.

Accordingly, I reject utterly your assertion that I A) "beat around the bush" and B) rejected him as an ally. My question to you, my friend is why the exchange between G and I got under your skin?

anyone else feel gross abotu this?

Current Vote Tally:

No Lynch - 7 (Elohcin, speedchuck, Glorfindel, spacedaisy, sprityo, DharmaHelper, ???)
Dom - 1 (Golden)

Who is that 7th No Lynch voter?

i don't trust anyone voting no lynch

Because I (a) thought you were rejecting his request for alliance and (b) thought you were doing it in such a way as to beat around the bush. If this isn't true...I have no beef with you.

Linking...me either Dom. And if this lynch goes 48 hours I will vote someone. The point of the game is to lunch.

Sorry..the first part of that post was to glor

Why would anyone feel "gross" about it? It's true. It's sound strategy.

Frankly, people should be lynching Glorfindel simply because he is going to be loyal to whoever gets him in her pocket.

Lynch!!!!! Not lunch. Why does my phone insist on me eating you all?

Why would you trust her? She needs you out of the game. Give me a single scenario in which you would trust Daisy at all right now.

Better yet, Dom, if you are saying you don't trust Daisy, that implies there are people you DO trust. Who are they, and why?

Yo. My role do good with holy. Holies should visit me. Is best effect.

Edit: @Glorfinder - Depends on if you want us to see your questions

I don't trust Epignosis.

So do we know how many of each element there are?

I'm also voting for a no lynch because I haven't played in forever and I think it would be nice for one cycle to pass before the bloodshed begins

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 11:16 pm I don't trust Epignosis.

Nobody trusts you either.

The irony is that I have never screwed anybody in a last man standing event (I don't call this "Mafia" because it isn't), but everybody thinks I will. I got eliminated by someone in Survivor I explicitly said I would help win. She won, but she didn't trust me.

I am not here to win. I am here to help someone else win.

not the worst point
but like.. it makes me actively distrust her... you don't need someone to trust to actively distrust someone?

See, I already don't want to lynch Epi cause he makes me laugh.

And he makes me want to vote for Glor. Sorry, Glor.

I'll pass on teaming up for now. In the end, alliance members have to turn on each other, so I'd rather you all just actively try to kill me in plain sight rather than spend my postmortem time wondering who turned on me. Besides...
