The Syndicate

If Epi had not pushed so hard to lynch Elo - a low/non poster and saying she did not wish to really play without first considering a replacement I would not be voting for him but he did so voting Epi

He himself has said many times low/non posters are more likely civ/town.

I've voted for DharmaHelper. It's a random placeholder at the moment. Maybe I can find a reason to vote someone else in the next 18 minutes.

In the present context I said that?

Did I say present context? No. I said you have sid that many times - which is an Epi trueism

I don't think I have said that at all. More from the word manipulation brigade, I suppose.

I've reread it a few times, and Epi's post about why he wants to lynch Elo seems really genuine to me, even if I don't agree with him about Elo at all. I hope LC is right and Magenta pardons this lynch to gain BTSC with the Detectives. I don't think Epi is bad.

I'm going to *vote Llama*, because his Bullz reasoning isn't really convincing to me, and his shenanigans (especially his fixation on Grodd) feel like they might be a smokescreen, particularly if he's done this sort of thing as a civvie.

I voted epi. I agree with what everyone is saying.

How is that even possible?

Part of me is rather satisfied to see Epi brought low by his own design.

This was a weird post from rey. It was made exactly 1 hour and 18 minutes before lynch deadline, so I think Rey was one hour off on when he thought it ended. But he didn't come back to change his vote or explain it in the next 18 minutes all the same

Probably fell into a coma. RIP Rey.

But does any of that make Epi bad? I'm not sure I like your reason here Roxy.

Hey all I can't possibly catch up enough to vote before the pool closes. If there are punishments for missing votes i will random or something!

I disagree that my post said nothing. I was responding to the post directly above - blindfaeth's last sentence said we would be "waiting to see who the Independents side with", and I saw that as an inaccurate way of looking at things. BF seemed to be viewing them as a group who could make decisions together, but since they don't have BTSC, there isn't really a concept of "seeing who they side with".

I don't think that's nothing, I think it's something worthwhile to bring up. And that was just my first two paragraphs, in the third I brought up the "S" of BTSC in the secret parts of the roles... and if you don't think that held any value, then we just have different views on the game, I guess.

I'm staying with my vote for this guy.

Somehow didn't realise the poll was due to end so early. I am not sure who to vote for... Maybe Llama because not only are his reasons for coming after me so ridiculously contrived, but BF also seems to have a vested interest in keeping him alive and pushing people away from suspecting him. I'd be interested to know why. In fact, why not. I'll be voting Llama.

Elo told us to vote for you instead of Epi, so maybe just do that! Kidding, welcome to the game timmer! I'm sure the host would understand if you abstain from the vote or randomize if you prefer.

On NF we either have open role lists with certain abilities being hidden and only known to the player with the role/host or we have a closed set-up.

The most common thing on The Syndicate is an open role list with certain abilities being hidden. The "secret parts to be solved" is used here and there. I don't believe I've seen any games on this site where the entire role list was a secret, but I've realized since Thingyman came to us that several of our Mafia styles are a departure from the broader norm.

So yeah I see there are rules for missing votes so I random ed. Ill be caught up by this evening.

Epi - Maybe you did not use those exact words but you have made your feelings known on this subject - why should we lynch someone who is not playing or posting - is something else you have stated about this subject.

TH - I did not ask you to like it but when someone does something that goes against things he is knownto have said as a player and a host it strikes me as a major nose twitch.

Bass gave you flashbacks of what?

Is picking the first player on the poll really random?



:P

Wheel of Time Mafia will have an entirely secret role list.

When I get around to hosting here you will see it more often. All three games I have hosted were closed set-up and its the norm on NF. Open set-ups only happened maybe 10% of the time on there.

I voted for Llama. I suspect him more than I suspect Epi. It feels like Llama is putting on a little bit of an act this game.

I didn't realize the poll ended so early in the day. I have spent the last 15 mins going over the last few pages. I am still so undecided on where I want to place my vote. I don't really suspect Epignosis at this point, I just think he's a bit of a conclusion jumper. I might have to vote for Llama because I don't believe his day 0 antics were as innocent as he would like them to appear. I feel like he was trying to get something across to someone. I did like Aces post on SVS, its such a small thing but I understand what he's talking about.

Now that I have wasted another 5 mins staring at this post I think I will just vote Llama. I have this nagging feeling he can't be trusted this game. He's up to something.

I'll put my vote back to Llama, since it's currently a 7-7 tie between him and Epig, and I suspect Llama more.

Well, I came back too late from a meeting to change my vote and save myself. I hope someone stops the lynch. If not, it has been fun briefly playing with you guys.

This kind of last minute shenanigans is why I hate changeable votes.

it ended???? i thought it ended much later in the day, used to the other games in where the end was at afternoon/night
i was so not expecting it to it this early, damnit

i wouuld have voted epi, fwiw

who changed votes the last minutes? i just got here

Noooo! Now we won't get any more letters! Magenta, why didn't you stop the lynch???

this isnt good . the detectives win condition is the same as civvies.
rip llama

Rest in peace Llama, sorry

Serves you right for sealing his fate.

llama

Wow, that sucks. Bye Llama

Looks like I have to work harder towards my life goal of not annoying Rabbit

I would vote for LC again.

RIP Lama.

The worst day 1 result that we could have had. R.I.P llama.

Possible they either weren't around or thought Llama was bad.

Also possible LC didn't translate the tiles correctly? RIP llama. FWIW he was not the role I had him pegged as tentatively. But it's still a bad result

I think I solved Girder's secret, but it was more logical than linguistic.

Girder – A man transformed into pure metal. ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~.

Girder cannot be night killed.

Bye llama I do not understand why you would want to draw so much attention to yourself with your monkey antics with such an important role. :/
