The Syndicate

Hedge, I tend to think everyone should do whatever they think suits them best. I wouldn't announce mine, but if someone else does, I don't think it means they are bad. They might even be misleading the baddies.

What did Jigsaw mean when he said he was successful with his level choice?

I can understand that choice. I just haven't decided what I think is the most helpful yet.

Jiggy picked level 2 and that's where we found Dr. Fetus. I believe INH actually picked level two that same night.

Well, that sounds like a plus for going public-

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

HedgeBaddie is still at the top of my list.

Do you like eggs? I hope so, because you will have egg on your face when I flip civ and am properly titled HedgeCivvie.

Super busy today but I will select level 9! Please let me know if anyone else has selected this yet!
I'm also very creeped out by the hospital that looks like a graveyard

Devin, I either sounded my usual unclear self, or you misunderstood me. I don't advocate doubling up or not doubling up; I just thought it was kind of odd that not doubling up was encouraged, but a few did it anyway. Or said they did, it could have just been a cover up to trick dr f. I don't really know. But it struck me because it also was a good way for dr f to avoid detection. If dr f chose a square, and one of his teammates chose the same square, it would be unlikely that a third player would also choose that square.

Anyway, it's just one of those little things that struck me as I was reading through. And it could mean nothing. I'll probably have to read through again for the game to sink in a little better.

Sorry! I skimmed again, caught that phrase/sentence, and ran with my assumption of what you said. Today has been super hectic for me. Actually this whole week and last week have been really crazy for me. And most of this should probably be in green. Oh well, you catch my drift. And understand what you said now.

Welcome back, old friend!

Welcome back Epig!!!!

Actually, llama, I'm glad you did quote that. I hadn't given the implications a second thought

I'm honestly not seeing any real direction here. I'm not sure which way I'll be going just yet.
For now, I do believe in announcing my level. I assume Dr. Unbornbaby hides Bandage Girl before we make our selections so, if we randomize our picks, what the hell can the Mafia team do with that information.
I randomly choose 13. Just sos ya kno.

Drunk and just tried watching the new season of American Horror Story. Time Warner box gave up halfway through. Pussies. :P

Prob keeping with the Hedge vote tomorrow if I'm still alive. We need some evidence soon, be it good or bad.

R.I.P. Mongoose. You shall be missed.

Awwww

Bye Mongoose. Always fun playing with you!

I really think we ought to all agree on one people to lynch and pile the votes. I think that is the best way in this particular game. I'm okay for a hedge vote if everyone else is on board.

Super fun game, Alex. I'll keep tuning in to see how it plays out.

Maybe you will get a rezz, like certain over privileged moderators.

Pringle... I love Pringles, but this result is very unsavory... so... yeah...

Mongoose, you will be sorely missed!!!

RIP Mongoose and lame that we're still in the Hospital.

Yeah, I'm not gonna hedge my bet on this vote. #lamepun

Someone's gonna have to flip before we do any detective work.

May go this route for exactly the same reason. But I'm going to hold off on my vote until I see what Jiggy does. I may need to defend my honor again

Well hey, Hedge isn't on the poll...? >.<

Da f*ck?

SERIOUSLY???

But WB Epi!

I should really let my hangovers work themselves out before I try to read the thread.

How convenient that HedgeBaddie has found a way to protect herself. I hope you guys don't consider me the logical second choice. I'm sure that's what she's banking on.

Yes, quite convenient. Could be a sign that she is running very low on lives. Butt before I jump to conclusions, I think it's fair to ask: Hedgie, do you know why you are not on the poll today? Your teammates are free to provide an answer as well.

Also, Devin and Jiggy, what's the deal with the two of you?

Mister Rearranger wrote:But WB Epi!

Don't worry, I didn't notice either until after you said you were voting Hedge. Any other ideas folks?

Welcome back Epi and RIP Mongoose I liked your posts.

Someone asked what I thought of announcing which levels we were going to search and I'd already said it didn't seem to make much sense on my initial read through. But I'm wondering now if I made the correct decision....if announcing our levels can't change the baddies actions then perhaps it is better to co-ordinate them in the thread, and decide whether to double up etc.

Only thing is there doesn't seem to be any co-ordination, this was mentioned before and everyone apart from a few seemed to do what they preferred without discussing it so maybe it'll fail whatever the decision is.

As for today's vote I've no idea, there doesn't seem a lot to go on. I don't quite see the suspicion on Hedge so if someone wants to recap that for me that would be great.

The problem with coordination is that the vote takes place privately, so it's impossible to tell who's lying about where they chose to look and it's next to impossible to get cooperation out of everyone in any case.

Matt is being most logical here. That seems atypical for him.

Does that mean I'm up to no good? :O

If you are a Fetusite, you might claim that I am good, and then when you or your team cooks me, you conveniently gain some measure of credibility.

This makes no sense to me. There are three factions. One faction knows its members, so you presumably wouldn't want to look like a villain. If you don't want to look like a civilian, then do you mean that you want people to believe you're the turd?

Hedgeowl wrote: Bwt's vote for him gives me pause. Of course this game is interesting in that baddies can in fact vote for each other without fear of killing them. I think Nev's theory is sound and we do actually have to start lynching people to get info. However, it's frankly more fun when everyone is still here, so not sure I really want to do this yet.

The situation is worse, actually: The Fetusites are free to vote for Dr. Fetus as much as they wish, since he is invulnerable until Chapter 6. For that reason, it is of nearly equal importance that we find the Doc successfully each Night. This means a hero successfully choosing the correct number. I think the question about whether or not to make the searches public is our biggest clues for finding out the Fetusites.

Which is why statements like this really bother me:

This is absolutely, undeniably true.

I do not mean that at all, actually.

It means I don't want to be killed because I'm "obviously" a civ, and it makes no sense to assume a player is civ anyway.

YOu put your finger exactly on why I have been suspicious of Elo. I wouldn't mind placing a vote there at all. Either her or INH.

Why INH besides his vote for you and his acting more or less deliberately confused?

That's a very good point, and of course people will lie. Certain players have to. So neither idea will truly work. :/

Lizzy wrote:Why INH besides his vote for you and his acting more or less deliberately confused?

He reacted very strongly against my initial plan without really offering logical reasons like Nev did, which I found suspicious. Then he votes for me immediately after saying this about me:

insertnamehere wrote: If he's a baddie, he's the worst fucking baddie

SO he basically admits he doesn't think I'm bad and yet votes for me anyway?

Then, when I call him out, he suddenly vanishes. My assumption is that he hopes I will forget about him, but I have not.

ture, but a player is in control of the level they search (as far as I'm aware), so choosing a different level each night seems to me to be the most a player can do.

Intéressant. Also, I just happen to think that you are brilliant baddie (if you are one, that is). His confusion seems a tad off to me. I mean, we are talking about the host of Twin Peaks, Sherlock and a future TSP game, who all of a sudden is frighten of a little chaos? Or is this because he's not the author and has no control over it? Good to keep in mind.

Just realised these lynches are only 24 hours so I need to vote soon as I'll be heading to bed, then have a full day of uni tomorrow and wont be back before the poll closes.

Lizzy wrote:Also, Devin and Jiggy, what's the deal with the two of you?

Jiggy is being a butthead, calling me a fetus with no further explanation, and then taking one of my lives! The butthead started a bandwagon on my during the first day!!
I know him personally and this is our first game together, so part of me thinks he's a civ and just WANTS me to turn out to be a baddie. The other part of me thinks he is actually a baddie and wants to vote for me until I lose all of my lives! (The latter is why I keep retaliating with votes for him!)

My sense is that jigsaw just doesn't work very hard to figure out who is a baddie and who is not.

thellama73 wrote:My sense is that jigsaw just doesn't work very hard to figure out who is a baddie and who is not.

This is definitely true, too. Seeing as he continuously searches level 2.
