I think long con is just a really good indie

So the reaper had no benefit in killing the satellite?

Also what’s what up with the last day poll?

Sorry yeah, stupid K and C sounds

Kyle lol

But speed is also effectively VT currently cause indies don’t count towards his win con

Well if speeds getting lynched, that means I’ll be the nightkill target probably

Seeing as roleblocking colin is a possibility or he gets redirected or even if he does get killed, his big kill should still go through so they could just leave him as a van-townie after he uses his vig kill

Cause if he also gets an vigkill or something more useful I say it’d be worth losing the vig kill

Like specifically the tiers of it, a role cop is more useful > a big kill imo

Yeah I really would prefer not to lynch any of the three but I don't think we have a way to make that happen unless someone has a lynch stop.

We all vote host/non and see what happens

Yeah, I'm going to vote for him I think. I think it's all fishy.
The thing is he's telling the truth.

I said the third thing, about lynching Luna three days in a row. I have the radio, it gives me a chat. I said that because I was pissed that we kept starting and letting Luna slip off.

So sprit is telling the truth and I can corroborate it. If you are gonna vote for him, do it knowing he did not make that stuff up. That would be a bizarre power for a baddie.
I KNEW that it sounded weird for mafia to be complaining about not lynching luna. like they could kill her if they wanted her gone that bad. This has enlightened me thank you SVS
Who do you chat with? A new person every night? Are they anonymous?

I’m assuming this was directed at SVS? Cause it definitely doesn’t apply to me

Xerxes
Exercising your great power and influence, you can prevent someone from speaking, voting, using an ability the next phase, using an item, or any combination of these things. Whatever action you take against someone emboldens them and fills them with righteous anger, however: Each action you take against your target increases his or her voting power by one the following Day phase. You cannot target anyone who shares your alignment.

Jay is the one who blocked nijuu I assume night 1

And Luna was the vote forcer so that solves that

Also from the btsc we can make out 3 roles

One of those is Shang tsung

What about the other twos the force voter and the blocker? I forget what the other mafia roles were

Oh and night 2 that’s defintely DH talking lol

[mention]ColinIsCool[/mention] do you see why I suspected you and jay on day2 now?

Now it really is up to Kyle if he wants to claim

If it’s believable enough I will be voting speed

Assuming there's still a mafia BTSC at all tho

Well, I did receive my night 4 stuff this morning.

So either it was from day4/night4 and mafia planned to lynch eloh today or it was referencing yesterday (which would make more sense.)

With the knowledge of my night power, I believe the mafia have open btsc after death otherwise my role doesn’t seem too useful

Then again I don’t think the plan was to lose 4 mafia members before day 5

So, epi warns in his opening post against role claims which we’ve done good in until now

I want to say there’s something of a soup kill maybe at play or something to really punish role claims

I don’t think Epi would specifically put a soup kill in though because I haven’t EVER seen a game on TheSyndicate with it as a mechanic

???

Sprityo's chat thing singlehandedly has cleared Niju and Long Con IMO. And now, as long as he lives, it will prevent the mafia from freely chatting.

Wait there's only one left.

I only get good powers after like 3-4 town lynches yo. Let's not get there.

To be fair if Kyle is civ you get it, otherwise if I get lynched it confirms LC and Nijuu as not mafia. (Again under the one mafia team assumption)

Sounds like an "I need some time to think of something to claim so you can stop thinking I am mafia."

You were just like "Yo Luna is 100% town."

Show your work, bro.

Same question @Kylemii and @sprityo , and if any of you already answered, can you direct me to it as I did not come in here most of the day yesterday.

Thanks.
I don't think Kylemii is bad. At least, not scum. He could be the 3P assassin, if that's what we have. He replaced in right before the first assassin kill.

Sprityo I've already made points against. His vague reading-thing of Luna is bad in several ways.
speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:05 pm TBH Sprityo's "I totally have non-cop info on Luna" feels more like an oh-crap-we-just-lost-half-our-scum-team gambit than a real thing that he misread somehow.
A quote from earlier.
I like Sprityo's tone though, somewhat amplified by his going after JJJ yesterday. He was the ONLY one going after JJJ.
But man, the Luna lynch looks bad on him if you time his posts with the momentum of the thread.

In my mind at the time, I believed Luna was tie and had no need to vote her. If anything I would’ve voted to lynch Eloh to save Luna but I instead went after my suspect, Colin

Linki: that’s me putting my trust into my own thought process, not the game, sorry about being wrong

I think sprityo is our best option. I explained more earlier but in summation i don't like the way he handled the lunalee thing. I don't like that he implied having information before backtracking and saying he didn't have information and saying it was actually intuition (okay this much is fine, I can see why one might do that) but then when lunalee flipped bad he claimed that he did ha e information but he read it wrong. idk why sprityo makes that post Luna death correction except to save face.

I didn’t backtrack

I never said it was my intuition

I do have information, but it’s not a clear cut thing like “X is town”

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:31 pm I don’t want to complicate matters unnecessarily if I can avoid it, but in the interest of solving: my ability was a one-shot self-protection that I used in anticipation of a nightkill last night. Whether or not you think the mafia tried to kill me is up to you, but I suppose it’s possible they failed when there would have been two kills.

there hasnt been a double kill yet so why would it happen now?

in a 22 person game

5 mafia sounds about right

that means theres one left

i could also assume that it's instead two teams of three. but it just doesnt make sense to me that there's two teams

Alright, so from what I can assume. This isnt a mafia power

that being said i've been operating under the assumption of one mafia team this whole game. Is that really the case though?

aside from our fun little three man stint here

this is someone's role power probably?

that means either someone thought we were the top 3 suspects and should be debated on being lynched

or perhaps it's related to the night kill? an unblockable kill maybe that forces you into a standoff? or if you survive the lynch you achieve your win con or get invincibility for a phase?

who knows

We can do this the ole fashion way too

role claim and see who gets dunked

(but i mean that's a lot less fun)

linki: I KNOW THAT KYLE

Speed you will get my vote for now

I welcome death with open arms, that way you may learn of my secrets

at this point im starting to question if we all just flip mafia

Shang Tsung

As the sorcerer of Outworld, you have brought forth the souls of ancient kings and spirits to enslave Earthrealm. Your sorcery enables you to absorb the soul of whomever your team kills, and for the next phase, you will have that individual’s power at your disposal. As long as you are alive, the identity of your victim is shrouded in mystery.
That's DH's role... sorry for the sudden interjection, but what about the orange-highlighted part?

I've been operating under the assumption that DH killed Mac and then used his power on me (the 'wounding' resulting in two extra votes).

BUT if DH killed Mac, then Mac's identity should have been 'shrouded in mystery'.

If Mac's identity was made clear, then Shang Tsung did not kill Mac.

But Mac's power was (presumably) used on me after he died.

Was Dharmahelper really Shang Tsung? Did someone other than Shang Tsung kill Mac, and thus the wounding of me was from some other source? I must be missing something here... or maybe Epi just forgot to shroud Mac in mystery?

I don’t think roles have exactly the same night powers, same thing in last years GOC if you check
That role was quoted from Dharmahelper's death post in this game.
oh. weird then. I swear i only remembered the stealing powers part.

that just simply means DH didnt perform the mafia kill
Well, that makes no sense. Come on, dude.

1. If what you think that means were true, then how would I have been wounded?

2. "Your sorcery enables you to absorb the soul of whomever your team kills"

yeah
TEAM KILLS

his team killed mac

his power still works

but the janitor part didnt because DH himself didnt make the kill
