The Syndicate

Fun game!!!! Made me kind of miss the game. Maybe I'll come out of retirement. Maybe. And definitely to see who everyone was--and to get to play again with some of my faves (and lots of new people. Hi! I'm LoRab.

So frustrating to try to be incognito--when I added the derp in an edit, I almost typed EBWOP, and then realized that wait, nope. Also, not being able to say--sorry, can't post today, Jewish holiday.

Props to the Shekels (also weird to have money from a country I've lived in as the baddie team, lol). The seed spreading that bird/mata was impressive. And then to negate my extra vote by voting the same as me in the night poll, combined with cursing me and blocking me. Well done.

And that was the worst curse ever. Forget that I kept forgetting the smiley. But speaking in metaphor is rough. Especially when trying to make a case against someone and also defend yourself.

Oh, and Ronan/Scotty--thanks for letting me know that you had targeted me night 1. I don't know if you caught my nod back to you.

Dammit, my smiley didn't work!!

:Lorab:

[VOTE: Bird] aubergine

Every pirate must make choices.

I suspect a winged one who flies around to attack their enemies, and strives to bring others into the pile of scavengers.

Onyx wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 11:52 am Read through Bartley's post history. It reads like someone who is present but not wanting to take a lead on anything. Aware of where the game is at, but wanting to go with a flow. I'll place a vote there for the moment, need to read more, I've been so damn absent.

A pirate who has supported their mateys, and has moved their treasure map to do so, is not following the flow of the waters.

This pirate is also caught in a storm of tasks in the world outside the boat.

Edit to add

Not all pirates speak the same.

Now, I be thinking that Bartley be the opportunistic one onboard this vessel.
Alls I can say is none on this ship has a truer heart than this here pirate has. And this here pirate has galley duty again so I’m outa’ here fer awhile.

But you chose not to mention this little bird until your second post of the new day, after I had said I was concerned about you? Okey Dokey, Matey.

'Tis not true. Perhaps your bird ate some hallucinogenic grain.

I can vote from my non piratical day job, so will do that, in hopes more discussion is had, and that one voter doesn't control the planking.

Like trees dropping their leaves, the winged creatures plant seeds as they go about. Seeing what blossoms into increased suspicion and then running with that. And, like a pigeon crapping on a sidewalk, the tweeting from this one is bad.

And as birds of a feather flock together, yet feign enmity for protection, the chirping and seed spreading likely include a flocker.

My suspicion is in the sky, flying to and fro. And pooping on ronan. I shall say more tomorrow about this flying creature.

I was sus of Ronan, and tbh, I am OK with my vote for him in that I won't scramble to make excuses for myself. I pretty much suspected him from the outset. I really thought he was bolstering the post count with fluff. It's unfortunate that a person was able to be made to walk the plank with only 2 votes.

It's been hard with so little thread content tbh. If half the people dont post, the people who are posting only have each other to pick apart. And this game feels very OG, in that we aren't getting night flips, and there are apparently two bad factions, so we have no clue if any of them are even dead, since we haven't yeeted any.

That said, I agree that Bird feels opportunistic. Their vote was like, "Yeah, sure!" rather than feeling like it had any conviction. I hope more people show up to participate today.

Mistakes are made, but like leaves in autumn, they fall away into the wind.

And the migration patterns of winged ones is a fascinating subject. I must research ornithology and report back.

:Editing above to add

I went with food, because you can get hydration from some foods. And a pirate needs energy from nutrition. Especially citrus, so no scurvy.

Half hour to poll close and only 4 votes?

[VOTE: onyx] aubergine aubergine


Voting now in case I don’t get back. It’s purely a self preservation vote on someone else who has a vote. And I’m not seeing the case on ronan.

I be good for our town, mateys. Been trying to contribute all I can since my initial not being here.

Why did Pirates wear pierced earrings?

First correct answer will win a fabulous prize!

Sign of status. And a way of looking like rebels.

I will be needin to take actual notes to keep track of this n that, so I do be shall return.

Arrr, Onyx, ye be makin' yer second pledge here now, and I be expectin' ye to carry yer load with that lofty assurance ye be tossin' about. At least Bartley and Davos be not raisin' me hopes in vain.

Yeah, I'm trying, but every time I try to read this game my brain doesn't engage with it. I work with accrued knowledge of who players are and how they play and not only is that entirely missing here, but for some reason the pirate talk is completely blocking me. What would really fucking help would be if someone could give me a non-pirate talk synopsis of the main cases and I could try to investigate them specifically. The flow of this game is just not working with my head. And I hate how "do my work for me" that sounds but it is the only way I'm going to get anywhere.

I can summarize action. It is day 3—there has only been 1 night. 4 people are dead. 2 lynched civs and 1 nj annd 1 unknown. Did I miss anyone?

We can’t vote bird today, and I don’t think I’m alone in sussing them.

Right?

I think yes, but where does it actually say jet? It’s probably obvious and I’m being dense. But does it say that or not?

Well, er, Jet be no longer on the poll?

Well yeah.

Big mistake.....

Kaia was:

You have the worst possible role:

Kaia - You are pure of heart if you are eliminated their will be two consecutive days. If you are night killed their will be two nights in a row.

You are Town.


It is now D 3.

Bird has won the YouTube contest and will be safe from elim <3

Bartley gets an honorable mention bc it did make us dance while listening. No Prize.

Ronan gets an honorable mention for his flamboyant use of Errol's recorder. No Prize.

Iggy gets an honorable mention bc it did make my Judge have beautiful walk down memory lane. No Prize.

Find the baddies!

I will accept the honorable mention. Can I at least have a gold star sticker?

I’m confused. Do we not know the player that was lynched? Or am I missing something obvious (other than who had the most votes)?

Sorry you are ofc right

Kaia was Jenny aka FWvidchick

A friend of splints and I from the old days when we hunted players to bring here.
We met and played many a game on her homesite K-Site (KryptonSite)

Thanks. Which listed player? I don’t want to assume what seems obvious.

And thanks to fwvidchick for the sacrifice!

Nah

For the moment, I am finding Ronan to be trustworthy. What they are saying makes sense to me. So following his vote. And bird seems flighty with that vote switch.

Vote: bird

Onyx be makin' grand vows, but I thought I'd grant 'em a spell to find their sea legs.

Bartley be akin to Onyx, but sorely lackin' in the promise department, and it seems they've got a barnacle in the memory part of their noggin.

This be true.

I do intend to be involved from here on out. And remember that I’m playing.

I am working on getting back on remembering I'm playing.

Voted shells to keep it even, as that seems like a solid idea for a night poll.

Yarrrrrrr.

I missed that we had started. But I am now here, all ye mateys.
