The Syndicate

@SVS I thought about slipping in some BTSC about killing Typh again this game, but decided against it this time.

Also how big is this freakin cabin where we can all fit in here? If anyone needs me I'll be throwing up in the bathroom. No one else come in pls

It's about to get less crowded.

"Good puns may carry additional rewards (this goes for all other players too.)"
In Aesop's role power description, does this mean anyone can post puns in the thread and receive rewards, or that the puns that the Aesops post give rewards that can be utilized by all other players too?

It means that all players should be encouraged to use puns in their posting, and if I see one I particularly like, I might give out a reward.

Hmm...I feel like this thread is about to very amoosing.

Will a lack of wordplay get us punished?

Not from me, but I can't promise that your fellow players won't lynch you for being boring.

A small amuse bouche to start the game:

Long Con wrote:

Natasha Fatale - BTSC with Boris, Can seduce another player into voting as she chooses.

If someone gets seduced, how much obligation is there? Do they need to make a case and believably vote for the player? Or can they be like "Uh, I'd really like to vote for Epignosis, but something is making me feel like an Elohcin vote. "? Orrr... somewhere in between?

I saw my name and the phrase it's in and immediately thought, "What the hell'd I do now?"

I should learn to read the Long Context.

It's good that you've been married long enough to hear your name and immediately think "What did I do wrong now?"

Nice job eloh!










oh - the pun was nice too.

Ooo I am bad at being punny. But rewards are good, so I will try ha ha.

Well, so far I feel like we are off to a pretty slow start. No one is pinging me.

Any *feels* from the very limited thread so far?

After seeing LC's questions, I just actually read the roles and with all this civvie BTS (and potential BTS), vouching won't be as easy a baddie tell as normal.

I think I have to find some Rocky & Bullwinkle tonight on TV.

Would any scums like to volunteer themselves to be lynched?

Ooooh, pick me!

I voted for golden, it's official in the poll, nobody look.

You are no doctor, Wilgy.

Want to buddy up? It worked well for us last game!

Technically it worked for me... Not how I planned but worked well enough, so sure!

Not much to go on here yet. It's been forever since I've seen this show. I used to like secret squirrel too.

Scotty wagon!

Come on folks, votes are changeable. In a game with 24 hour days where votes are changeable, the last thing baddies want is a(n) RVS.

RVS just leads to people forgetting to move their votes.

But OK. Zeebs

Voting for people for no reason just for lulz is my least favorite thing, tbh.

Lol

Ok who we voting for today?

Welcome to Day 1.

You could do what I usually do and vote a non-poster by end of day.

I have played lots of Day Ones over the years, we never used to do RVS since we had static votes. Voting for people for no reason just goes against the grain, lol.

What is RVS? Random voting syndrome?

I'm going to pressure Nijuukyugou so that I can torture myself by having to write that name over and over. Again. >:)

Not in my experience. RVS often leads to some actual pings and suspicions on Day 1 that otherwise wouldn't have happened. I mean, 24 hour days, come on. Would you rather the game continue to go on as it did Day 0 for the entire day, perhaps even the next day?

S~V~S wrote:Voting for people for no reason just for lulz is my least favorite thing, tbh.

First of all, RVS is not just for "lulz" it's actually a great way of catching opportunistic baddies still dipping their feet in the water. I've used it to get a baddie Diiny twice in a row before. Second, what's happening here might actually be an example of that. If it's your least favorite thing, then why did you participate in it when you were under no obligation to and vote for me? Or did you vote for me because of a reason that you have yet to give? I would like to know which it is, because from my point-of-view your options are either an immediate contradiction or a suspicious vote.

No I just did it to poke you since you were lecturing me on RVS It was a joke. Ha ha. Get it?

Throttle back, OK?

Random voting stage.

And S~V~S, I have some problems with this post.

You imply that voting for no reason just goes against the grain, yet you seem to have voted for no reason.
You imply that your issue with RVS is that your experience with Day Ones is from games with unchangeable votes.
Since this game has changeable votes, doesn't that mean that your criticism of the tactic is completely invalid by your own admission?
RVS does not mean voting for no reason anyway.

Not me,*us*.

It was a fuckingjoke.

because YOU were promotingRVS, I voted for you, *ha ha*

Seethe irony?

That's not true, I wasn't lecturing you when you voted. I've been lecturing you since, though. :P

When you voted for me this is all that I had said, and it wasn't directed at anyone in general let alone you:

So not only was I not lecturing you, I wasn't lecturing anyone.

You know what, I changed it tome. Night.

Of course I see the irony, but don't forget your very own criticism of RVS voting:

We wouldn't that to happen over a joke, would we?

linki - Well, scratch the last part then.

I have a hard time with the changeable votes too. "Back in my day we didn't have your fancy smancy changeable votes!" *Shakes cane*

Lolz. Missed a whole page there. :/ yay work phone posting...

bea wrote:I have a hard time with the changeable votes too. "Back in my day we didn't have your fancy smancy changeable votes!" *Shakes cane*

Look, I never do changeable votes. I thought I would try it one time. ONE TIME! I promise I'll go back to the old way for my next game. Sheesh.

Hahahahaha llama. It's ok. I'm only old lady complaining in the spirit of fun. This was a good game for it tbh. we love you big guy!

I'm sure you'll all change your minds by the time this game is over.

I'm switching to Sloonei since I already know he's going to suspect me in every game we play together from now on so I might as well make him OMGUS me before I have to OMGUS him.

I don't know what you are talking about, you're so town.

We had a deal.

Fine, changing my stripes and voting for Zebra if I have to.

Wow, what a blatant OMGUS. For shame.
