The Syndicate

Lets call it G-Man.

I meant to vote Gman and accidentally clicked on myself.

Who killed our talkative teddy??

Fuck no!!!!!

I feel your pain, splints, and omg.

Golden if you are the baddie I am never trusting you again.

The feeling is entirely mutual.

Damnit, I have to go to a meeting now!!!! For an hour!!! The suspense is killing me (I hope not literally)

Bad time for a meeting! Sucks

Wow. I can't believe it. And here I was yelling at my computer screen that you guys didn't lynch G-Man the past two cycles.

That is honestly the most disappointing loss I've ever suffered. That said, that is a sheer consequence of the insane amount of fun I had this game and how invested I was.

Well played, Golden. Truly. What a performance!

Thanks for the absolutely amazing game, Russ and Llama! And thanks to all of the RYMers as well as DDL for playing. You all played fantastic first games here.

Day 7: A Wonderful New World

Golden has won! He was Robert Solow. He and the other baddies will paint Europe red (in a purely ideological sense). Congratulations to the victors!

Damnit Golden. I knew there was something fishy about how quickly you latched onto my reads. You cheeky bastard!!! Well played sir.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GOD. FUCKING. DANMIT.

Great game Golden. Best bad perfotmance I've seen in a while.

Dat bussing. One does not simply bus like you and bwt did.

The only time I thought Golden's behavior was fishy was the sanmateo lynch. I couldn't believe that lynch. Now it makes sense.

I knew bwt was full of shit.I knew it! But his Bass bussing and all of Golden's subsequent play tricked me and the others.

Agreed.

Hosts, I'm curious. Does BWT get a win for this as well? Because he certainly played a great game and deserves it IMO.

G-Man, I'm still floored. Your behavior was so textbook mafia, I just cannot believe this flip. You were WIFOMing all over the place and I don't understand why you did everything that you did this game. I don't apologize for pursuing my suspicion, but I was obviously mistaken.

I should have known it was too good to be true. :P

I want to thank all of the players for making this game amazing (and shattering the Speed Game posting record.) A special shout out to all the first time Syndicaters who were truly an asset.

Golden made an amazing comeback after having his team completely decimated early on. He excelled at item management and manipulating the thread though. Good game everyone.

Remember at the start of the game when I said there was a list of players I'll never trust in a mafia game again?

I'm putting Golden on that list now. Congratulations, you earned it.

That said, G-Man, I terribly sympathize with your position, you were a patsy for so long. Golden set you up HARD.

Well, despite being wrong about G-Man and picking the wrong one of aether and Bass, I am proud of my town performance this game, and I think practically all townies should be proud of their performance. We had a real shot at this.

If I could nominate Golden for "mafia of the year award", I would do so. Just wow.

This. G-Man basically created a situation where no townie in their right mind would want to lynh anyone else, specially not on lylo (in facts this is probably why Golden pushed for the sanmateo lynch so he could have G-man on lylo). He was acting more scummy than the entire bad team combined.

I give you kudos for the gargantuan amount of commitment yiu put to your image thing, tho. Great game, it was a pleasure playing with you. G-Man.

Specially when I got to make you and MP sing.

Haha, I had a feeling right away that you were the one who did that. :P

I'm just glad I didn't mistrust you this time, DDL! My gut was right.

I'll make a post explaining all my John Nash games in a few hours, when I get a better internet.

So, I guess the game was over because I had it won at that point. If it could have played out, I was NKing vomps, trying to convince splints to use her vote manipulation the next day, stopping the lynch, killing her that night, and if that still failed using my vote manipulations the day after. This lynch was really the key.

Thank you for a very well played game, guys. You made it incredibly tough for me, I've never had to work this hard as a mafia before.

TB was my fault. I thought she was Akerlof. But the rest of the kills were in the order that I determined on the first day I was in the game. MPs flip on splints meant he had some way of getting info. So did his "TB is not adam smith" statement. Plus his dogpee mafia team that was completely off base was too good to allow him the chance to change his mind.

TH had to be akerlof, and he had to go next. DDL went because I figured if JJ could use a NK protect that's the night he would use it (I so would have preferred to lynch you DDL). Then JJ, who I would have killed three days earlier if I could have, but I just couldn't.

Unfortunately, games like this screw up my civilian game for months, because everyone stops trusting me.

Thanks for being a team, Bass and Roxy! I'm sorry it didn't last long.

But - as TH can attest - my proudest moment of all in this game was rhyming llama with diorama.

The rap contest was my favourite thing, thanks DDL!

Come at me, bitches

I was Adam Smith, yes, and I did get information on splints. I had just received a role check and I had to see if I was right about her. I went back and forth like 10 times between her and Roxy, since I really wanted to check Roxy, but I needed confirmation on splints.

Once I saw she was civ, I couldn't believe it. I knew I had to pull a 180, especially since she had tons of heat, thanks to me, and I tried to more subtly indicate my opinion of her as the Day progressed.

I felt bad about my blatant change, but at the same time, I kind of wanted to make it evident that I had information, as long as I could do it within the rules (and here's why).

I suspected since Day 1 that Turnip was the role checker and that's why I kept throwing heat his way, even though I really didn't suspect him at all ever. I did wonder a few times since I didn't want to fall into the same tinfoil trap I did during Champions, but I convinced myself this was different. And it was.

I pulled the role checker claim move during Day 4 because I knew people were suspecting Turnip was role checker and I was shocked he made it out of N3 alive with the TB kill instead. I thought if we could just keep him alive ONE more night, he could confirm my suspicion of G-Man or someone else. So I was hoping I'd get NKed N4.

Unfortunately, because I lost the singing contest, I didn't have enough items to buy a night protect, or I totally would have and used it N4.

I also killed Epi Night 1, obviously. I really, really thought he was bad.

My power worked randomly, I had no control over what power I received, and I didn't know who it belonged to. So Elo was all thread-based.

I also said "TB was not Adam Smith" since I was fearing that my claim for role checker wouldn't be bought and they'd NK Turnip on N4 anyway, and I panicked a bit. I really just was trying to bait the NK in whatever way I could.

I would have if you were civilian too, because I believed you were Akerlof, and I'm always looking for the one I think knows.

But it didn't hurt me to do it as a baddie either.

And by "claim for role checker", of course, I mean within the boundaries of the rules -- using my real check on splints (two birds, one stone) as well as my claims to have a power role consistently.

See, that's why I figured you were latching on. Didn't even strike my mind you were doing it opportunistically.

That's right, there was no way you could have lost at this point, especially since Fingersplints' role would have required her to vote for herself as well as you.

MP, you went before TH because I knew where TH was going the next day, and I didn't believe he was going to rustle me before I killed him.

You, on the other hand - I wasn't 100% certain you were not the guy who could create btsc, and that you hadn't simply met Adam Smith and tragetted splints overnight that night. That's why you had to die first. In hindsight, I'm guessing that person is Sloonei or Epi.

(thanks for killing epi, by the way. My civilian self paved the way for my mafia self to win, in one sense).

I knew that that's exactly what you were doing and it was much appreciated The extra night let me confirm that Bass was bad. I thought I had enough resources to buy an NK protect that night, but I was foolishly mistaken as always :P
