The Syndicate

What a bizarre kill. RIP splints.

I came in to today ready to make a case against her, so I guess that’s one off my checklist.

RIP Fingersplints.


Hey Daisy, I thought you said the contest would be judged my musical experts, not people with terrible taste. :P

A – I’m going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I don’t like his voice and never have. It’s screechy and annoying. 4
E – I definitely liked the background music. The singer’s voice was pretty good with it, but wouldn’t say it’s very good. 6
Score: 5.7 (thellama73)

Not bizarre at all. Several people had her as a strong civvie read, myself included.

Value those memories, because these are the days of mostly silent and prizeless nights at The Syndicate. ’Tis a pity that such mirth and joviality is lost on the new generation.

Young people truly are just the worst.

The answer is: Any player who claims a role will be eliminated the following day.

No one do that.

This leads me to think mafia Picked a semi active player who couldn’t be tied to them.

Splints to me was a perfect candidate for mafia as someone who wasn’t active in the back half of the day, and who was sitting on Sloonei, who imo is cleared. Sloon should have been killed, so this kill seems like a katebreakdodge

Discuss.

Do YOU have any kids DH?

I have a nearly 4 year old. He's a dog but I'm assuming that counts.

Dogs count.

An insanifier? I guess that’s vomp’s doing. Weird for a civ role to have that power lol

I’m boomeranging back to [VOTE: Quin] aubergine

Despite Sloonei having a firm Townread of him, I see nothing but entry level accounting going on.

I find it hard to buy that anyone can look at that Axe vote and genuinely think 'that's got substance'.

Go through the first two pages, up until Axe's post, and tell me just how much substance there is in the thread.

After making a designation that Axe’s random bea vote {on account of my dumb quote tell} had ‘substance’ he defends it with this…

Yes, there wasn’t much substance in the thread, and Axe just voting for bea…was supposed to be the first instance of substance? I don’t get it.

Layer in that he voted Elo, about 14 hours before end of day, bounced for the remainder of the day without adding anything else; but he made sure to pop in right after the poll closed to add absolutely nothing? Brazen. Tell me how that’s town play.

Wha happen?

Can you explain this more? There’s lots of ideas there.

Understand the kill as katebreakdodge as a theory. It’s all the Sloonei stuff where I’m not quite following what you’re putting down.

Scotty, are votes changeable?

Ulsi, E din't thenk et wus vimp. Lits if sacrats thes guma

Poor boi

It’s not claims or eliminated in srs business and also the mafia one has a random capitalised E mid word (guess it could be a typo, but could be an acronym or something).

I love you, Bea. I also love that you refuse to qualify me as old because you and I are the exact same age. I've decided you're right, my boys are still 8, 5, and 5.

Splinty!!! Give Keys a big ole Kate kiss for me.

Oh it’ll be FEBs

Lets not forget your unforgettable performance in Thomas the Tank!

Its a banner, my guess is that I put it on there; if you ever came out of your room we could have this conversation in person....

FYI, you have to use np (non player) not OT (off topic).

Hi Andrew! I’ll be one of your hosts in Game 2. I’m looking forward to a lot of fun.

@fingersplints - the reason please power starts with ‘if a dead player asks for a rez in the thread’

I haven’t gotten further yet. But maybe you could come back.

Reason please?

My metaphorical vote remains on Quin… I want to see some substantial stuff. Not voting though until scotty confirms changeable votes.

I feel like it’s approaching time for me to rainbow list.

LOL ME TOO

Oh, this is the rez pls thing

“If a dead player asks for a rez in the thread, the rez pls event will be triggered. However, it won’t be triggered before day ?”

So I guess… try and try and try?

FEBs starts “When the FEBs are…” but I haven’t figured out more yet.

Thoughts on whether we should endeavour to solve civ secrets?

Could actually be “When the FEBs use…”

Well it doesn’t quite matter now. I think it’s safe to say splints was town unless we have some sort of bounce back kill ability.

I was reading into her not being around for end of day and hanging on sloonei as advantageous, when in reality she was probably just…not around.

Anyway;

Someone said in the night (maybe it was DH) that it’s likely a majority of mafia were off both the Elo and Sloonei wagons- I think there is definite validity to that theory.
I also know very well I was one of those parties but my point still stands; anyway, no one can vote me today so I’m freeeeeefaaaaaaaaallliiiiiiiiiiiin

Oof good call, I didn’t think to consider splints might have been that role.

I can still change

I hear if you vote bea without reason it’ll be substantial

Here’s where I’m at:

“When the FEBs are down to only their (6) or (4), the (direct?/gayest/latest/lowest/fewest) will be (player?) (6) and (beginning?) (night?) target.”

I figure the vomps one is pretty harmless enough.

“Secrets are effective at nothing so you can’t actually have secrets. You are a bastard boy.”

Yeah, I don’t see a way to fit insanify cleanly in vomp’s description. It must be a side effect of your choice in the Map, would be my guess.

You’re close. But I still think it might be worth keeping it under the hat.

Oh i tried ‘down to’ but never would have come up with the tautological ‘only’. Ok.

When the FEBs are down to only (5, 6) or less…

Could be “just” too which is semantically the same thing.

Also could be completely off in that first phrase anyway. I feel pretty good about “beginning” tho

Golden wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 12:43 am When the FEBs are down to only (5, 6) or less…

YES! Less.

Dammit golden, I need to be up in 6 hours to go to the dentist. This is exactly what I don’t need to be doing right now.

Curse you, puzzle gods. Why must you put a puzzle in front of mine own face?

Quin has a similar style to me.

I was widely misread as a suspect yesterday.

Quin seems to be widely suspected today.

I have thoughts about DH. But I will have to express them more tomorrow when I’m not typing away on my phone in the dark while my wife tries to sleep

The problem is I can’t find a number that fits there so I can’t make sense of it. Maybe it’s ‘down to four something something’. Could it be something that triggers if there’s only a certain number of civs left?

I also thought it could be “when the FEBs use Pink to kill.”

Also Golden, don’t think that is having this solving kumbaya moment makes me trust you as civ. You could very well just be toying with me right now, teasing out possibilities and nonpossibilities while smoking your big, fat mafia cigar

But thanks for talking it out
