The Syndicate

Also, I would much prefer 48/24, but I can deal with 24/24 if most people would prefer that.

since its a speed game i prefer 24/24 but I don't mind 48/24. Just fyi i will be involved in the posts in my game between 6:30 and 7:15 pm.

My favorite has always been:

Doesn't matter to me. :o

I would personally prefer 24/24 since one of the reasons I joined the game was the "speed" part, but I could deal with 48/24.

Ditto MattMatt

oops just noticed someone else posted my video

I forgot to say that I would prefer 24/24.

Since SVS posted my favorite I will pick another with accompanying Scottish joke. "Hey McCloud! Get off of my Ewe!"



24/24 sounds good. Also, MP is off the poll I see. I was going to threaten to vote for him until my new favorite smiley gets added to the site, but clearly I will need to wait another day to resort to blackmail.

Should vote now because college. Randomized juliets. :O

24/24 for me too, please. Also, why is the Sock off the poll q.m.

Alright, weekend over. Time to get serious about this game. Unfortunately, I have no leads whatsoever at this point. Anybody have any pings? I sure don't.

Yes, I was thinking the same but I don't have any pings or niggles.

right now I'm inclined to vote for Russ, since it annoys me when people sign up and then don't play, but that's only if I have nothing else to go on before vote o'clock.

Mr D thinks it's time to get serious as well.
I believe I missed some questions about the last poll. My apologies. Those that have asked me a question that I have not answered, may ask me another one at this time.

Mr. D, do you see a clue in the thread so far as to who is be bad?

EBWOP: take that "be' out of there

Funny you should ask juliets. Just a moment ago I decided you were worth watching

any particular reason??

Mr. D wrote:Your last post was very agreeable without offering anything new. Slight pushing if you know what I mean.

Once more people start talking I'm sure we will have others to talk about. Or we can just talk about all the ones not around!

I've never heard of "pushing" in mafia so no, i don't know what you mean. And my post was just acknowledging that I had similar feelings to llama but also no idea where to begin. I had and have nothing new to add. I have to go jog now - maybe llama has some questions.

juliets wrote:maybe llama has some questions.

Stop "pushing" me, juliets! If I have questions, I will ask them in my own good time.

How would the Rolling Stones feel about randomizing Mr. D?

I kinda feel that way, but I don't want to scare him off! It's been so long since he's been around here. At least it will get his attention if my hand is forced. It's the best idea so far, and there's not a lot of ideas floating around.

Right now I am inclined to vote for you since my experience tells me that some people are quieter when civ, and a quiet civ is better than a dead civ.

A quiet civ is indeed better than a dead civ, but a quiet dead civ is considerably worse than an active dead civ.

Wait... I think I got that backwards...

Thank you Roxy. Well, if someone doesn't get my attention I will use my day 1 default which is to random amongst the low posters. I'm really hoping not to do that though.

Well, SVS thinks low posters are automatically good, so you're just asking for trouble.

Low posters, active posters, they're the same on the first day. So my nais online randomiser tells me to vote for Matt.

Well, I really wanted to vote for RUss, but since I have been expressly told not to by the host, I guess I won't. Therefore, I am voting for DisgruntledPorcupine, because it is traditional and because he randomized and because he went after juliets, who am liking at the moment for being an interesting participant. I would like to add that I am not inclined to believe everything that Mr. D says, since I do not think Roxy would include a character that would just out people as bad. It wouldn't be fair. So I don't take Mr. D's eye in juliets' direction to mean anything.

I went with my gut and voted Llama. I view wanting to vote out ultra quiet people, especially so early, as a baddie ploy.

I never knew that was a baddie ploy...I'm going to wait to make sure the votes don't string out everywhere and i end up with a couple more and have to save myself. If not i'll just do a normal random.

Even though I've done it in every single game I've ever been in?

Maybe the only reason you do it all the time is so it's not suspicious when you do it as a baddie.

So? That does not make you a civ, it gives me a statistical 50/50 shot at being correct, which is better odds than wanting to vote for someone quiet on Day One, someone who is generally always quiet.

Certain people are ALWAYS quiet, and that may be against your Mafia philosophy, but numerically they are more likely to be civs. And lynching civs is against MY Mafia philosophy. If they are quiet civs, let the Mafia take them out, why do their dirty work for them?

I am voting mongoose because I never have before and it seems fair that way.

i used random.org and got 3, so i voted for DP.

I don't think you have a 50/50 shot here.

I meant either he is good or he is not. So yeah, 50/50 would not be correct. I was just speaking to his point that he does it all the time~ civ or bad. So either he is civ or bad~ one or the other, 50/50. I should have been clearer there.

My Bad.

And can we outlaw " " ? I ALWAYS read that as condescending, and tend to react to that one smiley rather than the post as a whole

Going random on Day 1 does not bother me, but random "second" or "third" votes do bother me. However, knowing you, you would be the type to actually use a random generator and actually vote for the person regardless.

If I wanted to be condescending, I would have used

I'm going to vote for the A Person regardless. It's all I have, personality or not.

Voting Birdy because forgot about the gym and see he doesn't have any votes. He doesn't look like he will get any votes unless people find voting for wire suspicious. Yes, it's a cop-out vote, but it's day one.

No worries, Hedge. That's pretty funny.

Hopefully llama-oriented individuals will not spit on me.

So as not to spread the vote any further I randomed between A person and DP and got A Person.

I didn't even check to see if anyone had voted for him yet.

Ugh, seriously??? Just barely missed it!!! Sorry, Rox.

I only have like 10 minutes of free time for now but I'll try seeing what I missed quickly here.

First off, I want to apologize. I had a really busy weekend and it's my dad's birthday today. I thought I would check in during lunch, but unexpectedly got busy at that time. I hate missing votes.

Not sure who I would have voted. I personally don't read the winky face as condescending, but maybe that's just me.

I had no idea I was off the poll, so that's weird. Won't complain though.

As to Russtifinko, sorry, but I let him know the game was in sign-ups even though I know he's been busy because I know he REALLY wanted to play. I haven't even had a chance or even thought to tell him that the game was starting because I generally don't like to do that until the game gets going. I'll let him know.

As to S~V~S, her vote for llama really confuses me, but I've accepted the fact that she and I just don't see eye to eye at all. I just don't understand how she called him out for voting for low posters because they often post low, yet llama does this every time and yet she still votes for him. Seems like both are consistent yet she finds one worthy of a vote but another one not? Can S~V~S or someone explain this to me? I don't think it makes her bad, I just don't get it.

As always, Day 1 votes are really worthless. I don't see anything suspicious from anyone here, honestly, just differences in opinion.
