The Syndicate

holy crapweasel--I just figured out Abigail turning on Michelle (and, I may be tin foiling, but I really don't think I am). The host clarification she was waiting for was how Nathan Shelley (Michelle) will turn up upon death. She had thought that Michelle would show up civ. No problem. But then, finding out that assumption was wrong, changed her tune.

And I'm just going to keep posting, so you all can read my posts if I'm lynched.

how much of this game have you read & why do you think i have good senses if i'm wrong on you?

I like the way you think (as described in thread). It makes sense to me.

So, even though you're wrong about me, I also recognize that is in large part because baddies have been after me all game. SVS was a baddie--and knows my play really well. She knew what she was doing, and advised the rest of her baddies. she knows I'm pretty much always easy to make a case against. Especially on this site where most don't know me and my style is different in these parts. SVS played the civs, once again, and we are too busy killing each other, that we don't have time to actually find the rest of the baddies.

This game dead.

I appreciate your efforts LoRab

I've read through everyone's posts who are alive. And some of those who are dead.

The case against me is that everyone thinks that they know who everyone else is. Style wise, that is what was able to plant bandwagon seeds back on day 1. I wouldn't be shocked to find Scotty being bad.

And if you think you can read me, you clearly can't.

so fypov, assuming reads are good, is that the team is scotty/wigly?

I really believe that Abigail is bad. And I think Scotty is more likely bad than Wigly.

Scotty was the first to spread bandwagon seeds on Day 1.

if abbie is bad the team is abbie/thunal

Then Thunal.

I really think that if we Lynch Abigail, we'll get the most information.

can you summarize your abbie sus

(i read your post but headache killed my comprehension)

Her sudden turnaround on Michelle didn't ring true. At all. It read like she found out (from the host) that Michelle would turn up with real role upon reveal, and once learning about that from the host, she joined the bandwagon full speed. I can't imagine any other host information/clarification that would make any sense whatsoever.

The way she hasn't really answered questions, and has pushed bandwagons against civs.

I also recognize that I have the advantage of reading the thread after the fact. Knowing Michelle was bad, and her role, before I read the posts leading up to it.

Fuck it. Moving to my actual suspect. (I'm also not saving myself currently, so may as well go with my gut if I can't save myself)

[VOTE: Abigail] aubergine

Last words:

Noting, if I'm lynched (I still have hopes that someone will swoop and vote in my favor), here are my thoughts.

Abigail is bad. I'm 90% sure. I do not have information proving this, but it is based on things that she has said in the thread. She is a baddie. Read back what I've said about her.

Scotty could very well be bad. Thunal I don't have a solid on. I could see them being bad. I could go either way.

SVS set me up (good job, friend--but also glaring at your evil character). And she did it masterfully. She made it so her teammates were able to continue what she set up. And, to be fair, she also fell into my trying to get her on my good side on day 1...but then life got in the way, and I disappeared. So she just went with it, and I didn't have the chance to prevent her efforts.

And Abigail did what she did with Michelle in order to gain favor and trust from the civs. It obviously worked. She threw her teammate under the bus brilliantly. And it was intentional.

I know this sounds super tin-foil-y. But should this indeed be my demise, it will all make more sene soon.

I also think your vote was quite possibly forced this round...which leaves either Wilgy or Thunal as bad.

Lorab didn’t want any drama; She just wanted to dance.

Lorab has been eliminated. She was Coach Beard (town)

you have 23 hours to send in your night actions.

robyn has been eliminated. She was Keeley Jones (town)

to be continued…

Edwin Akufo has found Sam, giving the mafia the majority vote

DrWilgy has been eliminated. He was Sam Obisanya (town)

bereft has been eliminated. They were Colin Hughes(town)

Princess Abigail has been eliminated. She was Dani Rojas (town)

Mafia has won the game. Congratulations to SVS (Rupert Mannion), Michelle (Nathan Shelley), Thunal (trio of fans), and Scotty (Edwin Akufo).

Thank you everyone for playing

Good game everyone!

@Scotty @Michelle @S~V~S thanks for being amazing teammates!

@fingersplints @Sloonei thanks for hosting!

damn

ggs.

I'm proud of my personal read accuracy, disappointed in my ability to utilize it. I was right on Michelle, DM, LoRab, Seanzie d1 and voted correctly on SVS.

My team guess towards the end was Thunal/Bereft and I blocked Bereft last night. Figured that'd be better than Thunal who I blocked n2 and saw no result lol.

I have opinions on a game where we called things cop checks etc. when there were rules against it. I had no way to argue "why is it a cop claim? Could just as easily be anything else." But at the same time felt that implied something about me knowing about the cop which would be rule breaking. Alas.

Damn...

Holy hell. Gg

That was by far the most frustrating win I’ve ever had as mafia. I think I speak for the rest of my team in that we felt absolutely defeated early on and were ready to throw in the towel. I did not think that was winnable after some unfortunate early mech. I’m not sure we had a good shot of getting out of f5 without forcing Wilgy to vote with us

I’m just exhausted. Thanks for the game, splints, and thanks to my partners for keeping at it. I need to decompress after that one

I suppose there’s no 3 vs. 2?

Anyway good game mafia!

Hey Jay, I addressed this already but perhaps it was lost it in the videos. Scotty (Edwin) found Sam last night so mafia had the vote majority.

Thanks for the game everyone! Thanks for hosting @fingersplints and @Sloonei !!!!

Congrats my fellow wolves for making this a win, what an amazing come back! @S~V~S @Thunal33 @Scotty

Jay your table was scary with many accurate reads, I admire your solving energy, and I saw MU players trying the same kind of solve but without the same result.

*You* and Scotty were amazing. Thanks for convincing me I had to die!

If I just did the same things I was doing day 1 in terms of suspicions and just hard pushing that the whole time, game would have been better for town

GG

Thanks so much for a great game!!!

I am truly sorry (like, humanly, not in game) sorry for disappearing. Things just got…to be a lot in life, and then I was beyond catching up. Splints, thanks for reaching out to bring me back in. I appreciate it. And I’m really sorry to everyone for mostly missing the game.

And, I’ll say, coming back at the end and fighting for my mafia life, made me remember how much I love the game. So, thanks. Really.

SVS—you MFing FEB. If even half of my thoughts about you when I came back at the end were accurate, I am, as per usual, really impressed with you. Thanks for being an adversary all these years (and, dare I say, friend).

Abigail—I’m so sorry I thought you were bad at the end!! I really had thought that you were role hinting at my role, and I got caught up in reading your posts with the mindset that you were bad. Also, I’m truly curious—what info/clarification did you get that made you do a turnaround on SVS?

Robyn—seriously happy to talk theology any time!! Also, you were my night 1 search, so once I came back, I knew you were civ (because Nathan was dead) and read your posts with that knowledge.

And sorry Splints and Civs that I couldn’t do more in that last day.

And, you’re all stuck with me for a bit. I’m sucked back in. And no, I won’t be changing my style, but thanks for the suggestion.
