The Syndicate

Well, I tried. I really really tried.

If ika flips scum, I'll be astonished.

In the mean time - Enrique, sig, LC - I'm coming for you all. I think it couldn't be more obvious that the Fuzz train was NOT a save, as though anything like that is EVER a save. Reminds me of eactly what people were saying when I was getting together a lynch train with JJJ and FZ in GoC to try to avoid that ridiculous four way tie. Guess what? Everyone involved that time was civ too.

Baddies don't do that kind of thing.

I mean, Golden, if you're gonna justify everything through WIFOM there's not a lot of discussion to have.

I was replying to a post 5 minutes ago, lol.

Becasue Fuzz actually did something other than trigger someones gut

I don't think there is a one or the other case with these two options. Whichever one is lynched wont give us any leads to the alignment of the other one, given how little they've interacted with eachother until now.

I agree. In these past few posts I've seen a lot of "when I flip civ" or "when they flip civ vote for such and such person" and I don't get it.

Did he though?

how confident you are sig, are you willing to bet your vote on his flip? if he flips scum i get yourn vote, if he flips town you have mty vote, you game?

Now this is something I've never seen before.

I agree. Matt is not at top of mind any more. You are. I think you acted in that end day as scummy as heck. If there was a save, it was a save of Fuzz.

Long Con wrote:I don't think the idea that Fuzz said he didn't want to vote ika, and then did, is suspicious. I think it's unusual, but he wasn't trying to save himself at that point, so then what's the point? Save gleam? Why would he say he's not voting ika if he knew he might have to save gleam?

I find it suspicious because, in his own words, he "didn't care" who got lynched. Whether he admits that or not, it reflects poorly on him with regards to his perceived alignment. Like some of his other posts, it has the appearance of activity without actually committing to anything.

It is either an attempt to save Ika or Epi, which I've said.

when i flip town you better lynch fuzzy next

Why Fuzzy and not Epi?

both of them need to die, hes defening fuzzy so i want him to stck to that. im indiffrent overall

Wish I'd tried to get votes from one of those loan sharks, now.

I think most of the Fuzz votes are disingenuous. Maybe not all anti-town, but disingenuous.

I think none of them are either.

You don't seem indifferent.

I would be willing to bet, right now, that there are no cops on the Fuzz chain. Not one.

I'm taking silverwolf's vouch for ika at face value, and so I won't vote there. In any event, I'm not a fan of voting for someone I don't know on day one of the first game I play with them. I do think ika's behaviour is objectively suspicious. So I have an eye there longer term. But it could be a sig-like situation, where someone takes some getting used to, to understand their style and recognise it for what it is.]

I have played a handful of mafia games here and at piano, it's tough to get integrated into a community that's had each other for a while.

Hence the very low post count for someone who has been here since 2013. And even so, this game is the first real mafia game I've gotten any sort of a platform whatsoever.

I get that frustration entirely. I was maddeningly frustrated for someone who just wanted to play a mafia game somewhere. But I think if you stick with the community it'll become more enticing.

I agree.

Poor scotty and sig, I felt sorry for those two and it was often me sticking up for them in their early games, but they died early often. Now zebra is experiencing it. But I promise you this is a community of people that are more than just a community... here we are friends that really like each other. Even if you go down and you are town, stick with us... you'll see that people will come to love and understand your style and 'thats ika' will be the new 'thats marmot'.

What happened to this Golden? Know your saying you plan to come after me? I also pulled these up since I really dislike he used this as an example three times if Ika flips mafia then Golden is defiantly his teammate.

Ooh, look at that. I appreciate the votes, guys.

And sorry Sloonei, but I legitimately didn't care which it was. That's a fact, and you're drawing the logical conclusion from it, but I can't change that fact.

Golden wrote:I would be willing to bet, right now, that there are no cops on the Fuzz chain. Not one.

So out of all those players not one baddie voted for him this is far fetched even if he is mafia.

Baddies don't do that kind of thing.

They especially don't do it to break up a three way tie. The easiest way to save a teammate in that sort of scenario is simply to vote for one of the other options. Unless someone wants to suggest all three of Epi, ika, and gleam are scum I don't see how that can be perceived as a save of a scum player.

Who arrested Tranq?

Luffy you also asked me for reads. Context is important.

The whole game is on the line from your perspective and you can't name a single other suspect?

If he was a baddie, don't you think he would pretend like he suspected more people in this situation?

Maybe. I've never played with Fuzz before, and this sort of thing could easily have crossed his mind.

I'm not even talking about Fuzz's meta, that just doesn't seem like the smart thing for mafia to do in general when they're about to be lynched.

Perhaps WIFOM, but I doubt it.

This might be the scummiest post in the thread. You're saying Golden's not allowed to suspect you AND hiding behind the defense that you get lynched all the time?

Perhaps indeed. I don't know, I can't answer it. It gave me pause, for sure.

The two families were in a chaotic frenzy. No one seemed to stand out as a top suspect for a cop hiding in their midst. Finally it seems all arguments had been laid out, all disputes had been made, all cases had been put forth and still no solid agreement. Reluctantly the family members went their way to carry out their individual business, but each passed along their final decision on who to eliminate to their respective crime boss.

As the day drew to a close, Daisy and MP met up on a street corner to discuss who held the most votes now. "So it's decided?" Daisy asked him, just to ensure they were on the same page before they took any action.

He nodded, "RadicalFuzz has got to go."

"How do you want to do this?"

"The mob didn't finish him off last time, maybe we should do it ourselves this time around..."

She nodded her agreement and the pair set off on foot towards RadicalFuzz's home. Once there, Daisy jimmied the lock and they slipped inside. It was dark inside and they moved silently throughout the house, searching unsuccessfully for RadicalFuzz. MP shook his head, "Someone must've tipped him off."

"You think he turned himself in?"

"Most likely."

At the precinct, RadicalFuzz walked in nervously and looked around. He never expected to be here turning himself into the cops, but it is the only way he could avoid being taken out by the two families.



RadicalFuzz has been arrested. He was Surveillance Specialist, a member of The Police.

It is now Night 2.

You have 23 hours to send in your night actions.

YES!!!!!

Brilliant.

AWESOME!

Guys, what does WIFOM mean? And the same for EBWOP (I think that's what it was)

Sig, Enrique... you guys are going down. I swear you are both Fuzz teamies.

Ika, silverwolf... *hug* please hang around.

SVS - thank you. You might get my MVP vote, if there is one, for that alone.

Add Quin to the list of suspects.

If there is a member of the police on the Fuzz lynch, its DDL.

I just searched his posts for "ika" lol. Really.

Yay!!

And that is why last minute lynch trains are NOT bad. They make the baddies scramble hard, and man do I think they stuffed up.

@quin - I'll have to get my ecstatic emotions in check and be more rational before I can give specifics. The best answer I can give right now is 'behaviour in wake of the shift to a Fuzz lynch'

Host Announcement:

The Loan Shark for The Sockfaced Famiglia is now accepting offers for Day 3 votes.

The Loan Shark for The Daisy Crime Syndicate is now accepting offers for Day 3 votes.

Instructions:
1) PM Sockface Loan Shark or Daisy Loan Shark and request the number of votes (either 1, 2, or 3) you would like to request. You may request votes starting now up until the end of Day 3.
2) The Loan Shark will then return your PM telling you only if he has confirmed your request. If he has denied your request, you will hear nothing.
3) If he has confirmed your request, you will receive the number of extra votes to be cast in secret only for Day 3. If you do not elect to use them during Day 3 by PMing your host, your extra votes will vanish.
4) Regardless of whether you used your votes, after Day 3's completion, the Loan Shark will then tell you the terms for payment, which you must complete.

Do NOT engage in BTSC to the Loan Shark sockpuppet accounts. The Loan Shark means business only. He doesn't want to hear about your bullsuit.

If you have questions, let your host know.

I'm not even catching up with this thread until this crazy speed stops lol.

My refusal to vote for Fuzz was well justified. I did not see any organised reasoning for the bandwagon and it looked fishy as hell. I even made a point of the lack of justification, which nobody decided to respond to.

oops lol, guess I was wrong. However, I'm not mafia I believed the Wagon on lynch developed to quickly to be real.
