The Syndicate

yay i got mine to work. It looks like you changed the one for winner because now it appears as an image in the thread. Whatever you did, thanks!!

Congrats Flying High!!

And poor blindfaeth! My partner, I rooted for you and our merry band of brothers (well three of us were girls but whatever) throughout the game after I was deaded. And I think it was reywas who deaded me - why reywas, why?

And I just want to understand that wacky day 1 vote!

Darn timmer, they really don't want you to speak. Looking forward to the pics.

Epignosis, it's too late now but which of these options was supposed to represent Taurus? (I went with the sensual side of Taurus to get Lovers)

And i voted The Lovers - it's the only thing I saw approximating my sign.

I guess this means he is still alive...or maybe not, we haven't seen the end of the post I don't think. But for now alive.

Agreed.

Did I read earlier that there is some talk about Dom NOT being bad?

Kate wrote:I really hope this means something and that we win, i have wasted an entire afternoon and given myself a headache.

Epig could have stopped all this if he had just said "there is nothing about number of posts in this game". That would have stopped people from blocking up the thread and irritating other players (though dead horde players don't count). So, why didn't he? Maybe because there is something to it and your efforts are not in vain.

LittleTiger wrote:Alex - you really need to upload that smilie

yes!! agreed! that's one of the best ones!

I am voting MP - I think the reasons are obvious.

LittleTiger wrote:RIP DH and DF!

Welcome back llama!!! AGAIN! LOL!

I think today we need to lynch MP once and for all. This Day will prove most interesting, I do believe. Straight up MP lynch

FH, I would ask you to save your vote, pretty please

I can agree with a straight up lynch of MP and I'm not sure how these vote manips work but wouldn't it be better if everyone voted for him? I'm guessing at this point LT - in your opinion, how important do you think it is that we all vote him?

Maybe it is time we got rid of some of these non-player players... However, I think shutting up the outed baddie as soon as possible would be awesome too!

If you really think that's true, lynch me. I dare you.

Taunting. 15 yards. First and goal for the civvs.

I don't follow, lol, probably because of the sports lingo. I've been taunting you guys this whole time I've been outed.

yes, I think it's just because you don't follow football. Some taunting is penalty worthy and some is not. When its penalty worthy it gives advantage to the other team. No need to respond, this was just a light moment.

RIP DF AND DH . Now I'm even more interested in what you were saying with those pictures.

Welcome back llama! And lol on the Star Trek quote.

I agree, I'm going to vote for vomps as well but will be fine if llama gets the rezz.

I would like to see either llama or vomps come back. And DH, I finally was able to read one of your pictures! I'm making you crazy and you wish I'd fly away to another planet - or you want to bomb me, either way not good. But I know you don't really mean it . I do wish I could figure out more though.

leprechaun or st. patty's day, spaghetti everywhere, bolt, knot, table

DH, lol, this looks like the kind of thing you post in words.

Well said indi and yes, I'm pretty sure I saw a stinkified FH.

Jim Carrey, merry go round, thumbs up, rockemsockem robots

I have no idea what this means.

I think it will take a lot of votes, but yes, I agree.

So MP?

I'm in favor of an MP vote.

OK, let me go back to something I think I'm sure of with respect to what LT is saying. LT, are you saying you believe Elohcin is good?

And linki yes i feel the same way.

Kate wrote:Can we hold off on voting until LT gets here?

I had a role in mind for Elohcin and its a civvie one.

Kate I have been wanting to hear LT's read on this today but I'm really leaning toward MP as Elohcin has made me nervous. I looked at the civv roles trying to figure out one that she might be and I'm just not seeing it (and I dont expect you to say of course).

linki I am reading timmer as sock is out - he seemed to support an MP vote earlier...

Elohcin wrote:I think I am going to go ahead and get this thing started. Voting Spaghetti!

wait, i thought we were going to pile our votes onto one person - did we decide that one person was SE? I thought we were still discussing...this makes me just a bit nervous

I don't think we should lynch MP today. There are many theories as to why, so far - that he is protecting someone else or wants us to think so, that he is protected, that he is sacrificing himself...

No matter which (if any) is true, MP has too much confidence in himself right now. I think it points to him being protected from this lynch. I say we leave him alone for the time being and lynch him when he is not expecting it so much.

I can't speak for MP's playing style, but what I've read from him reminds me a lot of a recent game I played over on Revolution Mafia. In that game, I basically had to bluff my way out of being lynched by making people think I wanted to be lynched. That is the way MP is reading to me right now.

I don't think we need to take any chances. I really think we ought to look somewhere else for this specific lynch (maybe Spaghetti as others are saying) and consider MP next time.

Elohcin, what kind of protection do you think he has? I'm trying to work through if he is protected from this lynch why he wouldn't be protected from a lynch the next day period? I'm still on my first cup of coffee so I may be missing something obvious.

I am also thinking about spaghetti or MP. The way MP made such a big deal about spaghetti being a horde makes me think spaghetti is a horde. The wifom of it all, seems just like an MP thing to do.

On the other hand, as bf points out if we lynch a civv when there was an outed baddie out there we could have voted for we will feel like idiots. Well, maybe not that bad but we will at least feel dumb.

I'm thinking about what indi had to say about Kate and what FH said about indi. I will probably re-read Kate today to see if I get any bad vibes. Indi would be down my list, someone I don't think I'll be voting for this round anyway. I'll do a re-read there as well just to make sure.

yes indeedy, Alex, Sbaghitiviriohir

So LT you're thinking MP tried to wifom us by naming SE, thinking that we would assume SE was NOT Horde because MP named him as Horde, when in fact he IS Horde? Just quote this in your next post if thats what you think. Don't quote it if I've got it wrong.

That's a very interesting idea indi, and MP's behavior does seem to fit your theory.

Yayay! RIP Snow Dog but BIH Grizzlor!

MP, unfortunately this will be another one of those games that goes down as "that game where you lied your ass off to us". LOL. I was definitely fooled for a while but then eventually it just didn't add up.

Kate, I've never been so glad as I am to finally hear you speak (or see you speak).

A puzzle with 0's and 1's and rows and columns - hmm. Me thinks this is for the smart people.

And SE saying that nobody was more suspicious than me...not even Dom? Nothing in the MP/SD/Kate/Everyone else shenanigans pinged you more? I definitely am looking at you now too.

EBWOP: Timmer, if you're right on SD and MP being Horde, it would make sense that SE is Dom's Snake Mountain teammate, hence why he didn't vote for Dom.

I helped lead a lynch on dom with LT that didnt work. I felt that there is a chance that that could happen again, so i went for the next best person on my list. I also dont want to jump on this snow dog bandwagon, because i think it may be a baddie bandwagon trying to convince us all to kill civs

But SE, you didn't answer Faraday's fundamental question, why did you vote for him out of everyone else out there? We haven't had any discussion about him and why he might be bad but we've brought up any number of other people. Given you didn't give any reasons this really rang alarm bells for me.

Also, if we went through this whole game not trying to lynch someone we thought was a baddie (Dom) just because we had tried it once and it didn't work I think we would be in serious trouble. What makes you think he would survive again?

LT I see your point about not giving Dom too many votes, I'm just going to wait a while longer to make sure Dom stays in that number 2 place. If he does, I will vote Snow Dog.

I told you, he's the next best person on my list. If youd like to see my list along with my reasoning on why I didnt vote everybody else, I can do that for you.

Sure, go for it. I'd be very curious to see this so called list.

What? What so called list? And the more you respond without giving any reasons for your vote, the guiltier you look.

Ok, I'm going to go ahead and vote Snow Dog.

Oh ofc. Thanks FH. And my eye is firmly on SE though today I'm voting either Snow Dog or Dom. Since i can vote in the morning I'm going to wait to make sure how many votes are coming in for Dom vs. Snow Dog and vote appropriately.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Anyone wondering why I voted for DFaraday now?

I'm insanely dense once it gets to be this time of night and I've had a glass of wine or two so can you just spell it out for me? I could wait until tomorrow morning and hope it comes together but I'd rather not because you won't be around if i still don't get it. (I get SE looks bad I just don't think my reasons are the same as yours.) If you can't answer because it would out you I certainly don't want you doing that.

LittleTiger wrote:MP, I did not say you were a baddie. I still do not know quite what to make of all that you have said this day, but I do know that it didn't sit right with me... not at all.

Yes, I was completely fooled by He-Man as were others....

But I am quite sure about a few things in this game

Oh, okay. Well, you're right about me then (assuming you DON'T think I'm baddie), but not about Snow Dog.

It shouldn't sit right with you because it means some serious behind the scenes SHIT is happening. It's sad that I seem to be the only one who believes it. I really hope I'm right in thinking that DFaraday is one of the ones behind it. If I'm not, well, that sucks. Though it doesn't seem like it'll matter much at this point since everyone seems hell bent on believing I'm full of crap.

The more I think about how today went down, the more I think I might be okay with a Kate lynch as well. Of course, Dom always makes sense, but who the hell wants to waste another day on Snake Mountain?

MP, I can't speak for anyone else but the only evidence that some serious behind the scenes SHIT is happening is that you say you think it is. I can't even imagine what you are talking about. I just don't see any evidence of it. And I'm certainly not up for a Kate lynch today just because she tried everything she could to get us to understand what she was saying. I'm not saying your bad either MP but I'm beginning to think, because of today and some other things, that you are confused.

Oh! Ok, I get it now. When we were talking split it didn't mean an even mathematical split. Ok I won't be so OCD about it . I do agree it's the right thing to do.

MP, yes I knew by your vote you disagreed.

Ok so are we in agreement we are going to split the vote? Because if we are, I think we should be voting alternately for one and then the other. Then the last person who votes, if the vote is already tied, should throw his/her vote away so we end up with a tied vote. I just want to make sure I know what we're doing so I know what I should do.

This looks like to tie one's hands and feet...

So, why would Kate want us to split the vote?

Kate, while you've been insanified you've been saying a lot about dogs and blind dogs and now here you are quoting the post about Snow Dog and trying to say something. If you are trying to say you suspect Snow Dog just quote this post and say anything, like maybe yes. If you don't quote this post I'll know I'm off on my assumption.

DH I would love to know what your thoughts are on this lynch.

This is WAY off the subject but why is it we are giving Ace a pass from the low-poster-may-be-bad group? He's been logged into RM for awhile this morning so why doesn't he come here and post? Maybe he has quit playing - but then maybe he is really low flying. I do not intend to vote for him this lynch I just wanted to bring this up while it's fresh on my mind (because I just saw that he was still logged in).

MP - somehow I missed the post where you talked about the role from Recruitment. That post was not considered when I made my post, just want you to know that.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Snow Dog and I have a complex relationship this game that I am not permitted to disclose nor do I think it would be in my best interest to, which is why I didn't want to have to be so direct with my defending him but this lynch was seriously heading solely for a Snow Dog lynch. There is some serious behind the scenes crap going on this game, as you all are likely aware from these weird lynch switches, but there's even more than that. All I have to say is it would be incredibly disastrous to civvies if he gets lynched today. Let's not lynch him today. Or ever. I'm not kidding. I will not support a lynch of him today; we need to catch someone Horde. If any of you have even thought to trust me for a second this game, you need to believe me.

Looks at the roles



Looks at roles again....

I wrote a long post and then windows shut me down before I could post to apply updates. Usually it warns me...but anyway, I'm not inclined to re-write. I do want to say this though, I feel exactly the same way as LT about the issue of Snow Dog and MP. I've tried to fit this explanation into the roles as they are defined but I just don't see it. Maybe it has something to do with the secrets and I just can't figure out what but it is bothering me. I haven't made a decision on Snow dog yet for that reason and because I want to hear what LT has to say after she has looked further at the situation. I'm also trying my best to see a situation where you are right and she is wrong, but again, I'm willing to wait until she reviews further.

And MP I know you don't feel like you have in an unconcerned way talked about civv roles as LT said but I feel the same way on that issue too.

I haven't decided you are bad, and actually have seen more of civv MP this game. I just wanted to note that there are some things that bother me that I don't know you can explain adequately enough for me to feel comfortable, but at this point it's just making me keep you in my sights.

I haven't given much thought to Elocin(sp) this game and I know you MP asked for thoughts on her. I will re-read her and give you my read for what it's worth.

As things stand right now I'm still leaning toward a Dom vote though someone earlier, timmer maybe, made a good point that he is likely Snake Mountain. I too would much rather get a Horde so let's see what develops here.

Also, this probably goes without saying but not being able to understand kate is making me crazy.

RIP orsonkidd and thellama - I just don't understand these lynch switches.

FH, my first gut reaction is Dom again but I'm also interested in what others are thinking about this.

orson, could you explain your reasons for suspecting Kate and Snow Dog?
