The Syndicate

Dom, I am cured, yeah. What's your point? I have nothing to say to the rest of your comments.

Enrique, GTH I just don't think sabie seems genuine, and her most recent vote seemed particularly opportunistic to me. But I don't remember much of anything from her other than that.

I certainly don't feel like anyone is willing to give me any chance, all the more reason I think I made the right move calling for my own lynch.

When I actually did try, I got caught up in the moment and voted for sig instead of Nero, of course what seems to have been a terrible decision.

Seems you're quick to cast the shade at me, bea, when you've hardly done any case building of your own. As to whom I suspect, that's what the rainbow list is for. The names near the bottom are the ones I suspect.

I can't get my head wrapped around this game; there are too many inmates and still too many posts. I can't be bothered to ISO and analyze. I don't want to and I don't have time to. I asked to be replaced, but considering there are four or five players with much less posts than me that would need to be replaced first still have not, I'm stuck in this game.

I'm just trying to have fun at this point, frankly. I stopped giving a shit about winning a while ago. Just lynch me already.

Really??? I'm the one to cast shade on you MP? Are you fucking kidding me??

I've been more open to you being a civ than damn near everyone in this game.

And you KNOW I'm not a case making player. But I will say what I agree with and what I don't agree with. I wasn't asking for a long ass ISO case on anyone. I was asking what in general made you put those people at the low end of things. I don't think I was asking the impossible.

I thought - I may have been stupid for thinking so - that this game you saw what I was saying IRL when I said "next game I host there are max posting limits cuz be concise mother fuckers. I'm a busy girl."

I admire that you are trying to have fun, and I think you truely are.

But if you are for the town, please be for the town and not just a dumb fuck. For me. Go back and ISO me if you must, but I have defended the idea that you could be civ.

So if you are pro town help a sista out. If you are not - continue on and have fun. And I'm sorry if my vote lands on you at the end of day - but don't you DARE say I didn't give you every opportunity to talk me out of it.

Reaction noted, I still feel good about you by the way. Just testing.

MovingPictures07 wrote:And bea, for someone who seemed so sure that mafia MP would never give up on his teammates and would give them the chance to bus him, you're quick to change your mind. Mac's right; you keep agreeing with case after case and your contributions are opportunistic at best.

You're definitely one to talk, since you're likely anti-town. I'm not.

how is open minded opportunistic? Why do you think I'm anit-town?

I'm never going to be a case maker and I didn't ask you to case make. I asked you to give a little more explaination to why you rainbowed people the way you did.

And you read me green. I just asked why you had the thoughts of the people post green you had. I didn't need cases I needed just a few words. Or points to quotes or anything.


I asked for a little more explanation and now I'm baddie mcbadderson?? really?

As for those of you who want substantiated reads from my rainbow, I've been tone reading players since Day 1, and that hasn't really changed. I'll try my best to explain any particular thoughts of a player but I haven't had the time to ISO anybody to back up any of my feelings, or even examine voting records that much, or anything like that. I have tried to voice my thoughts on folks amid all the chaos posting.

Oh, also, MacDougall should be higher again on my rainbow. I don't particularly think he's bad. I thought he was trying to pull something earlier, but eh, I think I was just being paranoid.

I better go to bed, I'm tired.

Linki w/ bea: I was fucking with you to get a reaction. I got it. I still feel good about you, FWIW.

so - then anti up mothafucker. you got two pissy posts out of me. pay off or I will think you don't care and are the last memeber of the nero team and just vote you tomorrow.

Yeah... I don't really think bea is mafia anymore. I haven't seen mafia bea yet though so I wouldn't know what I was looking at if it was.

Now bea, look at Faraday's explanation for the posts Scotty has considered suspect and tell me that it isn't a perfectly rational explanation. Quite difficult to be that clear in explaining motive if it's not the truth. I know how that feels in this game.

Honestly, she was who I had in min with inexperienced with cursing roles so maybe? I'm like super drunk
My hubby decided like 4 beers ago he was driving me to work. Nappy now. Cuddle with the hubby. I tried to mafia as long as I could....

I see what you are saying mac, just to drunk atm to be 100 on it ya know?

Yes. I understand. :P

Bork! Bork! Bork!

MovingPictures07 Episode VI: The Return of the Suicidal Moron

MP, in all seriousness, I have zero interest in voting for you UNLESS you are trying to say that lynching you is actively in the best interests of the town. Not in the best interests because you'll be lynched anyway. Not in the best interests because you don't care. But in the best interests because it actually creates some value. I think you should be clear about that bit.

I think you've sounded pretty town recently, and I don't want you gone "just because", because you can be an asset even with your minimal engagement.

Bork.

It's hard to equivocate when you don't say anything.

Okay Typhoony hasn't been Montoya'd.

Poor de beer in de glauss, den dreenk de beer in de glauss.

Typhoony insisting on lynching me must mean he is anti-civ. Because I am civ and he is insistent on lynching a civ. Therefore anti-civ.

Impenetrable logic

"Still too many posts"
MacDougall 624
Enrique 533
Turnip Head 425
a2thezebra 387
Golden 376
Matt 360
DharmaHelper 333
MovingPictures07 312
sig 250
Dom 213

These are teh players with more than 200 posts.

I'm calling BS on that.
MP, if there's too many posts why are you 6% of them? I dont' think these two positions square themselves. How can you claim to be overwhelmed by posts and unable to engage when you, yourself have more than 300 of them and more than, let's just use me, me? Me, someone who I would say has been very active, very vocal, and very visible.
Yet, you can't give a single reason behind a rainbow list.

You weren't just testing Bea. I don't believe that for a second.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I certainly don't feel like anyone is willing to give me any chance, all the more reason I think I made the right move calling for my own lynch.

Lots of people have been willing to give you a chance since Day 1, but you have repeatedly failed to meet the requests of people asking you questions and asking for more detail in your responses.


So, MP, can you give one reason why Enrique is suspicious beyond you saying so?

To me, it's not all that important that you voted sig over nero. I don't really care. What I do care about is that you have been all hunky dory when the discussion isn't about you. Lots of smilies. Lots of jokes. Lots of posts. The second the lynch turns toward you, "oh just lynch me" MP comes out.

Holy fuck I thought I was posting less...

And holy fuck at Zebra having 387 posts in a game she was killed on night 2 of.

DFaraday I don't understand which of my votes you think is suspicious. Nero after Enrique completely backtracked and said don't vote for Matt? I was third out of many to vote. If not that vote which one are you talking about?

bea wrote:FWIW - and I know it's not worth much to you matt -

In this very game, I sussed you and then backed off once you told me your hellish driving experience the other day and SVS saying she was sure you were good.

So I don't understand the above quote.

Also, Typh, totally down with a Mac lynch. Today is my first day back at work since my finger was chomped on, so I'll have to vote a bit early, but right now Mac is topsies on my list.

No.

I'm sorry, I looked back over your posts and saw that you had been discussing Nero prior to your vote. I guess I'd overlooked that when I was catching up. I feel a bit better about you then! Sorsha, Bubbles, and LoRab had shifty votes though.

I do feel like there's merit to the MP case, since he's certainly not behaving in a town manner:

Relying on his meta
Calling for his own lynch, in which case, as Mac said, if he's a civvie may be trying to benefit us, but if he's a baddie, he's probably just screwing with everyone.
Implausible story about the hospital
Also, I feel like he is using emotionally manipulative language, saying things like "Nobody is giving me a chance" and "I've tried my best."

Don't know if you're a fan of the Dark Knight movies, but a few months ago, I found this...



At 1:39, Hamill does the "Why so serious?" line as animated Joker.

Yes, I'm a nerd.

Ok DF I can see how you would look over something when you're catching up! Thanks for re-looking at that.

Hey bea since you asked and I can't find my post that I made this basically covers it,

After talking Batman with Epi and seeing juliets post, I just remembered I wanted to comment on something and forgot...

A life without Batman is...well it's probably better then mine but still, you cut me deeply, juliets.

juliets, remember when you were content to watch football without the fantasy aspect, and then you did yourself a favor and started playing fantasy football?

Help yourself out again, and rent Batman '89, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

I've meant to go see some of the batman movies but just ended up not doing it. I should catch up with them so I'll have the same knowledge base as the rest of western civilization. Sorry to cut so deeply!

linki yes exactly matt

Watch Under the Red Hood

And if you REALLY wanna understand Batman, watch Flaspoint Paradox.

Don't forget Batman and Robin, the greatest comic book film ever made.

DharmaHelper wrote:Watch Under the Red Hood

Never read the comic (stopped reading around the end of No Man's Land, meaning I missed a lot of good stuff apparently), but the animated movie was cool. And I've never seen Flashpoint, you recommend I'm guessing?

Lol @ DF. Yeah juliets, I forgot, start with Batman and Robin. Classic Batman.

WOW im finally caught up

okay

i may miss vote, may not. I get off work at 9 EST so i guess we'll see what happens

You could vote before you goto work. What will you know when you get off work that you dont know now?

well figuring theres about 8 hours between now and then, that's about one to two pages worth of stuff. i honestly would rather remove lurkers form the game so that we can get off the topic and therefore actually start going after people without any other excuse to not lynch them

I thought you meant you would not get off work in time to read or vote.
