The Syndicate

Is the game over?

Well shit why wouldn't it be over?

I was a romper, made of denim! I didn't have any powers or info, but I was a romper, made of denim!

Don't you mean "Well shirt..."?

If it's not over, you clowns just outed yourselves to the secret serial killer role, Granny Jeans.

My pleasure, Jules!

I love that Mongoose has JJJ listed as "Casual Friday".

Good game everyone! I want credit for my amazing one-post detection of Sorsha, but I'll admit Made had me totally fooled. That vote for Wilgy and its timing was pure genius.

well that's the worst civilian win i've ever accomplished on this site

at least I managed to finally vote for a baddie near the end.

I was an embarrassment in this game. I am sorry.

Please take this as a sign that for the next five or six games, you should consider believing the opposite of each and every one of my reads.

I am a bit disappointed that my Axis of Evil theory proved wholly false.

Yahooooo

Voted out 2/4 baddies ain't bad in my book!

Thanks for the game, Mongoose! Look forward to the next one! And grats felow civvies!

I think Made did a great job being bad and he should know it.

Yes I should have realized he was for sure faking it when I caught him asking if ties are no- lynches after he said he didn't want a tie. But I was really swayed by Epi since he was so dead on with the Sorsha suspicion.

And thanks for the game Mongoose it was lots of fun, even if only Scotty got my hints.

I am with you on that one.

Indeed!

In fact, I was still desperately holding onto my suspicion of Boomslang in the hopes that I could have contributed something of merit. I was helpful in literally zero aspects in this game.

At least me, Quin, and LC can take pride in our inaccuracy.

I believed so strongly in your axis of evil llama.

How'd you like that NIght 1 protect? *brushes dirt off shoulder*

...And, y'know, missing the mark on every single other one

Sorry about that whole "lynching you when silenced" thing.



I didn't want to deal with this Llama.

LOL someone said a Night 1 protect of Boomslang was extremely unlikely. Way to go, nijuu!!!

You absolutely ruined me

Also, there was a period in the beginning where I seriously wondered whether I was a secret baddie who didn't actually know it at the time.

On night 1, I was role blocked and nobody was killed, and the next two nights my silence targets were killed.

I was messaging Mongoose like ?!?????????????????????????????????help????????????

At least we were wrong... together.

Next time the three of us have compatible reads, we should probably just reassess everything.

Who has two thumbs and cast four out of four mafia votes? This guy. Good game, civs!

I do want to say that I saved Quin—completely by accident. I used my Skinny Jeans power the night before the lynch on him, but I read the power as taking one away from the value of HIS vote, not of the tally FOR him in the poll. So I voted for him, thinking I'd lynch him, when in fact I canceled out my own vote and forced a tie. I guess it worked out to buy us another day?

Grumble grumble would've had four outta four if I weren't NK'ed grumble grumble

Three outta four ain't bad

Mea culpa. Let this be a lesson unto me

mongoose come back to the chatzy and tell us about your trial!

This is the section where I thank people!

Dom - Thank you for being a great mod and letting me bounce ideas off of you.
Logan - Thank you for relentlessly pestering me into making this game in the first place. It might be a superhero skill of yours.
Epi - Thanks for pointing out so politely and promptly the biggest screw up I made in the game, so I could remedy it ASAP. I really appreciated it!
JJJ - Thanks for being so cool about the aforementioned slip up!
Eloh - Thanks for subbing in after you died I'm sorry your immediate suspish got you a swift exodus!
Made, Blooper, Boom, Epi, Logan, etc - Thank you for being a repeat felt player!
Juliets - A million times thank you for *asking* to be a replacement, and then getting gung ho immediately upon entering the game,
Baddie Team - Thanks for hanging in there! Hope to see you around more, Dr Wilgy and Dragon!
Scotty, JJJ, Quin - Thanks for playing my game despite not knowing me from Adam. I enjoyed interacting with you so much
INH - always a pleasure. I look forward to your next mind bender and enjoyed our film-based interaction more than you know!
Long Con - Looked forward to your secret message postings each night! Thanks for taking the role and running with it!
Sorsha - I was pleased as punch you signed up for this. You are a master at managing a baddie team.
Marmot - Last but not least my sweet Marmot! Thank you for loving this game so much that you posted in it every day!

To all my players - thank you for your endless patience. It had been 2 years since I hosted last, and a lot of the Status Quo had changed around here, but I failed to update my game accordingly. This twee artifact of a game was perhaps not what you were expecting, but I hope you had a lot of fun. It was a bit tough hosting with the kind of schedule I have (having so much litigation at work), but I relished every minute and it never felt like a chore.

Again - Thank you for your patience with all the mistakes I made. Coming home so tired made it really easy to make silly mistakes, but I tried to at least be consistent and keep parity between mafia and civs. Some of the mistakes I made were simply horrifying, and I hope to hone my hosting skills back up with some sort of mini game before coming back to host another side mission (which are my fave type to host).

Who had the +2 vote and who had the -1 vote? And Quin, was the thing you figured out but didn't want to tell us that JJJ was Casual Friday?

Huh. I was wrong about literally everyone's role except LC. Figured out juliets literally an hour ago when she referenced Denim Shirt again.

Thought Boom was the protector and protected himself N1, which is the most logical choice as a doctor if you don't trust anyone yet. But nijuu nailed it.
Thought nijuu was the Casual Friday poster. It had a lovely feminine quality to it that reminded me of nijuu. I do declare, JJJ!
Thought Quin was the Skinny Jeans and protected himself. But Boom did that [in error lol].

I didn't realize my power was a night action until Mongoose mentioned it in thread like day 3. And then i either was blocked or targeted the person that died that night, so really the only one I could affect was Made today. So...that's fine I guess.

Good call on Sorsha day 1, llama. I played along with the fact that Sorsha refused to play the Jean Pun game...but turns out it was spot on!

juliets wrote:Who had the +2 vote and who had the -1 vote? And Quin, was the thing you figured out but didn't want to tell us that JJJ was Casual Friday?

It was, yeah. The first message they sent made me think it was marmot at first (it wasn't a strong thought, but whatever), but the writing style did a 180 and it became kind of obvious who it was. The only thing missing from his message was the word 'inspired'.

Mongoose you're too sweet.

Like a gummy bear, only you're a goose.

There were two Easter Eggs in the Game.



One was Chambray. All someone had to do was say the word chambray in the game. It somehow never happened!

The other Easter Egg was JCN. I was hoping someone would figure out it was a reference to HAL/IBM.

These would have triggered things. Mysterious things. Dark things. Beautiful things.

That is not at all inaccurate to be perfectly honest. I think my spirit animal might be a gummy bear. Thank you so much, sug!

Epi - Thanks for pointing out so politely and promptly the biggest screw up I made in the game, so I could remedy it ASAP. I really appreciated it!
JJJ - Thanks for being so cool about the aforementioned slip up!

I just left the site like I wasn't around.

*slaps forehead* Oh, duh! Of course!

What slip up was this?

Long Con, what did Quin realize that I was lying about?

I was referring to 3J's name being included in the Casual Friday post.

Mongoose you were an awesome host - I don't know what mistakes you made but I didn't notice them.

That was so flippin funny. He was like "Am I actually 'silencing' people?"

I have made awful mistakes every time I've hosted. It's just part of the fun!

Like I said, I mixed up the quote we were talking about. I cross-remembered the post in question, and the one where Quin realized who the Denim Suit was.

I super appreciated everyone being cool little beavers about it!

You guys, I have to tell you that Long Con had the most fun mysterious messages that he would craft up to send you. I was heartbroken when he got blocked or couldn't send one or two of them (I think someone died the other time).

What were the rules on the messages Long Con could send? Did they mean anything or were they just gibberish?
