The Syndicate

I had a terrible thought this morning that this had started while I was asleep (i didn't check for it) and I would wake up a dead man.

I forgot what thread this was for a moment. I'm glad you just mean in the game. And I'm glad that didn't happen too!

Yes, I am also glad I didn't die in real life. That would have set me pretty far back in this game, I think.

You might have won. We would have felt awful voting you out after you died.

But if you were posting after you were dead, your family would have been rich.

Linki, Oh yeah, the mystery of Duds. Every time I see certain smileys I think of him

Love the avatar SVS!

I'm still haunted by the thought that he died years later. I wish I knew!

The exact same thing happened on the site I came from and frequent. Someone disappeared out of nowhere after saying he was going camping for a couple of weeks. It's been 2 years.

And we both know the truth of your ideas on who to lynch today. I would not have said a word if tonights BTS had not been suspended, but it has and someone had to start the festivities

Spell out for me how Faraday was dangerous, I missed that aspect of his game.

I heard rumors he was gunning for me in various chats. And that he was gunning for other people that I care about in the game. That, to me, is dangerous.

And I am very miffed that I am sick. And we knew that the Kumbaya moments would not last forever. I am sick. That changed things for me. Your miscalculation about sickness put me in danger; it put everyone in danger. Anyone of us can get sick and I think that that is your fault. Unless someone else came up with that theory about no more sickness? I would be willing to listen to that.

I don't remember who first noticed that no one had gotten sick or first speculated that no one could get sick. I don't think that it was me, but I can't guarantee that. It could have just as easily been an idea I threw out in a chat one night while trying to think through things. I honestly don't know. But I don't think it was MY miscalculation. I was hardly operating in a vacuum, nor was I the only person throwing out ideas.

I did not cause the sickness. I am not sure how it is my fault that anyone can be sick. I will point out that I am at risk of getting sick as much as anyone else.

Before yesterday, the most valuable people to ALL of us were Sorsha and Faraday. First you wanted him dead (and got it) now you want HER dead. That is a threat to everyone. Ironically, eliminating Faraday raised elohs value to the whole group. You are my now really my only alternative for a vote. I will not vote for food providers, plus Sorsha has never voted for the person I view as my primary partner, nor has she threatened me in any way. There are people I pledged to before you, and tbh, people who pledged to me before you did. You would have been happy enough to see me gone had what happened with DH not happened. That's how the game is played, yes?

That is not true. I told you in BTSC the first day we had the tribe swap that I had no plans to vote against you and that because of other deals you had, that I considered yourself in my protected circle. I never spoke of tribal alliances on that beach--I spoke of individuals to whom I had made promises--you were one of them. And you knew that.

And, to clarify, the most valuable people to YOU were Sorsha and Faraday. You've made it clear now that I was never actually in your alliance, so according to your own words, they were not valuable to me.

And I do not know for whom I am voting today. I asked her a question. Now that she has answered it, I have more information.

Had I not gotten sick, maybe it would have been different, although I don't see the circumstances that would have led me to vote for Sorsha. From your perspective, I am the worst possible person to have gotten sick, lol.

Well, I did not make anyone sick. Nor did I choose for you to be sick. It does seem to suck for me that the random illness that randomly appeared ended up on you.

Convenient for you though that your role gets better once you get me out of the game.

No it doesn't. That was you. I can send messages with you alive, and I can see who targeted someone with you gone. When we are out of BTSC, the message is better anyhow.

Nice try.

And tell me these rumors, tell me who told you these rumors about Faraday "gunning for you" or anyone else for that matter. Maybe it will get me off of your case

And, to clarify, the most valuable people to YOU were Sorsha and Faraday. You've made it clear now that I was never actually in your alliance, so according to your own words, they were not valuable to me.

No,and you know this.Faraday was just a doctor until the DH thing happened. And Sorsha and I had not even talked until the tribes came back together.

And you were in my alliance, but when you put your own good before that of the group, I was done. Like I said about DH earlier in the game, this is Survivor, not BFFs forever. I was fine with you last night when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning and found out I was sick, not so much.

I feel you put your own personal well being above that of the group. That is a valid reason to vote for people on Survivor.

Had I not been sick, after hearing allof your rationales for why there would be no more sickness, I was done.

And I know who you were going to push for a lynch on today because you told me. But again, that's she said/she said. But you and I know what is what in this scenario.

You did not make me sick, but your reckless desire to see Faraday dead so Eloh could cook caused a cure to be unavailable when I needed it.

LoRab, INH told me in BTSC the night DH got the boot that your intention as a Manama alliance was initially to take SVS and DF out first, in that order. Is this not true?

I can't know everything, but I know LoRab has never petitioned me to get either DF or SVS out.

Golden wrote:I can't know everything, but I know LoRab has never petitioned me to get either DF or SVS out.

Nor to me.

Is this challenge just going to be me vs Opt then? Does it start in half an hour?

Golden wrote:I can't know everything, but I know LoRab has never petitioned me to get either DF or SVS out.

I think he talking about when the tribes switched before we came back together.

When that happened, Lorab and I had BTS ASAP. I told her right up front that I was the role she needed dead, and she said she would be OK without the extra power.

He is talking about during the lynch, when he had BTS with INH and I had it with DH. He is not talking about Atamana, but he IS talking about after her and I had a tacit friendship agreement.

Like I have said, it is insane to trust LoRab (and she would be the first to agree). All I know is pregame, I spoke to no one but you, and I still have that PM

This can all wait until tomorrow, almost challenge time. I would like to be in the challenge, but being sick is an issue for me with that loss of food/water after energy runs out.

yes I am participating!

You and me, quin!

I've got a willpower bonus too so we'll be well matched

Good Luck competitors

If it's just the two of us, would you like to make this simple? How much energy do you have? I'd rather not exhaust my stats which I might want for a later challenge.

Not one for bargaining, huh?

Thanks for the faith, man. Yeah I didn't participate in the sand digging challenge and got the letters from home and all so I'm not lying. For some reason I had a one time willpower bonus that I guess I've now exhausted in this challenge. This was definitely better than a fight to the death, thanks for being cool enough to propose it!

Congrats O_O!!

Well done Opt. The vote for you as a challenge beast was not misplaced lol.

I don't have an experience like this to share, but the thought of it happening has crossed my mind. I see y'all as friends and I actually care about the syndicaters. So those of you that won't share your real name or befriend is on Facebook....I think you're doing yourself a disservice. We could be sharing a story like this about you someday, Scotty.

Yay opt!

Do we have a Facebook thread here? I know previous mafia sites had a thread for sharing social media links. I haven't seen one here.

So, you can do something with me gone that you cannot do with me alive. Which is what I said.

I don't remember from whom I heard what. Only what I heard. Nor do I think that anything I say will get you off my case.

You were fine with the risk until it didn't work out for you. And yes, you have made that clear--now, today, with your words. I didn't put my good before the group. I asked for food from elo publicly and asked about Sorsha's power publicly because I thought it best for the group to publicize the food--to bring it out there for everyone and democratize the food sharing. Do you think it better as a secretive process that is only shared with a few?

This is not true.

INH lied to you. If he spoke about his intention as a Manama alliance, it certainly did not reflect anything I said or what my intentions were. Please keep in mined that this is a player who had poisoned me the night before. He did not have my best interest at heart and was not playing an honest game. This is another thing he lied about, it seems.

My agreement with you was not just because of tacit friendship. It was because I had an agreement with someone with whom I knew you also had an agreement--therefore, by the transitive property of agreements, I had an agreement with you. I had no intention of ever voting with you and had every intention of protecting you.

It is not insane to trust me. I have not gone back on my word in this game and will not, unless the person with whom there has been agreement has made the decision to themselves step away from that agreement.

So you wanted Faraday gone because you heard rumors he was gunning for you, but you don't recall who told you these rumors?

Did anyone here have reason to believe Faraday was gunning for anyone?

I am going to call my sister then go to bed. We have all day to talk about it tomorrow. Night!

P.s. LoRab, you were one of my Mafia tutors. I would be insane to trust you, and you know that comes from a place of love.

No, I don't remember from whom I hear everything I hear. But, yes, I do believe he was after me.

PS I'm flattered, truly. But I have truly been trustworthy in this game. I'm sorry that you don't trust that. And that also comes from a place of love.

It was a lousy day.

Rain, rain and more rain. Survivors were beginning to get anxious, and it was affecting the communication.

LoRab went to stoke the fire but it mysteriously went out! There is no fire today.
Sorsha went out fishing, and came back with some fish.
SVS, Golden, Elo and OptOut teamed up to retrieve the water from the well. It was raining so hard and heavy that they didn't dare spend long there, and immediately returned back to camp.
The weather didn't deter Quin, however, as he went for a leisurely walk.
Doodle entertained the group with a rousing rendition of 'Call Me Maybe' on a harmonica someone left behind.

At the Individual Immunity Challenge, trepidation was the main storyline. Some were nervous that they wouldn't survive the dreaded pole of death. Who knew holding on to a bloody pole would give people cause for concern!

Only two competitors deemed it worthwhile to participate: OptOut and Quin.
As the challenge started and both players koala'd on their respective poles, Quin immediately offered a compromise.

"Hey, are you more tired than me?" Quin asked Opt.

"Nah bro I ain't budging," she responded.

"Okay then."

And with that, Quin jumped down willingly, and the challenge was over faster than a horny jackrabbit at Easter.

Opt_Outside has won the challenge!

Opt-Outside has won Individual Immunity. You may not vote for OptOut tonight at Tribal Council.
For the rest of you, someone will be going home and will be the 12th person voted out of Survivor: Mafia.

I've been poisoned.

I wonder who would have poisoned me?

What?? I don't think anyone left has that ability... could it have been a random game thing?

Well that's an interesting poll....

Probably. Maybe from going out in the rain. I hope I at least got some water from travelling to the well.

It could be something to do with the fire going out too, which might have been the rain.

Opt_Outside wrote:Well that's an interesting poll....

Aye.

I don't think the amount of people who go to the well actually has an effect on how much thirst is regained. 5 people went yesterday and I didn't get any extra.

Also, if it was raining, why the hell did we need to go to the well anyway? Surely we could have just stood in the rain with our mouths open.
