The Syndicate

I am expecting a minimum of 5 on-topic posts every 24 hours and this will be enforced by me. ("hi guys whats up" kind of posts don't count) If you don't meet the 5-min post requirement, I will modkill you and it will be counted as a loss in your game stats even if your faction wins. I don't wanna be a party pooper, but for this game to be enjoyable by all, and for this setup to actually work, posts have to be made by everyone playing. love you guys, please try to play. <3

no im totally the cop and got a green peek on my boi kylemii

No, I’m the cop and I got a green peek on my boy, Kylemii.

Posting so that my ISO will yield results.

Also, hi game.

I'll save the host her breath and tell you all now, I am the mayor.

Voting Kyle for being green, and because I can't vote myself.

I was lying about being the cop. Was anybody else?

i'm also the cop and i got a green peek on my boi kylemii

i know most or possibly all of you are kidding but i love starting the game with so much validation

i am a mason and unless dunya decided to put every possible power role into this game, i think someone's been lying about their shit already.

well i mean aside from the multiple cop with green peeks on me claims, that's not what I'm talking about.

hey kyle this sounds like fearmongering

after all, you have no idea whether dunya would or would not include all them power roles nor have you taken an actual stance on the issue. i don't know why this post exists.

wow quin you've done it again

i actually don't have all that much to say but im gonna get my head chopped off unless i post 5 times today so enjoy my word vomit motherfuckers

yea, but my lie was so much better than yours which was basically "lol lets get in on this meme but fucking ruin it with proper grammar and shit"

i voted kyle time for chinese food bye

wait one more i think sprityo is town

It's likely Kyle is scum. No hard counters were put in place. No one even tried to deviate from the claims. Kyle's nonchalant attitude about it.

I'm glad we figured out the game already.

Okay but I really am the cop and my boi kylemii is as green as a bulbasaur

Since you're the only person to claim mason, it must be you -_-

Mason is a pretty cool name, about ten times cooler than Jason

are you high?

every game I've played in this style was solved because of claim mechanics, speculating on what is and isn't likely is step one.

please explain your thought process here?

not everyone has role claimed or even posted since my mason claim, so first of all you're jumping the gun on this

secondly, in order for me to be mafia turnip head would need to be lying, and the other mason would also need to be lying. that would be too many liars to be a mafia team in this setup.

I meant to quote this post actually, marmot explain ur shit

My Quinvote feels fantastic. Like I'm a barbie girl living in a barbie world

I think I trust Turnip Head the most so far. Am I high?

I'm going to ask the same question that got me mislynched in Friends mafia: how do you all approach Day 1s? Please provide examples related to strategy, game theory, meta, and other supplementary information when appropriate. (2 to 4 pages, MLA heading and Works Cited page, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font, 1-inch margins)

This is a very masculine Mafia game if I read the player list correctly. We're just a bunch of dirty boys hanging out and doing boy things, like murder.

I'm saying this from experience, from playing this style of game twice before, things go much smoother if everyone claims asap.

In what way does it make finding the scum easier?

I'm an exceptionally mediocre vanilla civilian. Y'know those people who say that vanilla civilian is their favorite role to get? They're either liars or sociopaths.

[VOTE: INH] aubergine why the quiet flapper eh?

I'm just feeeeelin' things out, you know?

Sometimes I look at game threads at my phone, when I'm not in a position to actually post.

Quick NO U vote for Sprityo because I don't have any better ideas.

I just usually stumblefuck my way through it. After years of mafia play, I've realized two things: 1. I'm not very good at mafia. 2. I'm especially not good at Day 1.
