Team Mafia 2020 (YOADSG Wins!)

HYPE

[Pine]

I would like to voice my strong objection to teams being able to choose who participates in which game AFTER seeing their PMs.

In the described paradigm, a player who is horribly, terribly incompetent as scum is functionally an IC in their game.

We want the winners to be among the best players on site, not the ones who have a meta that is convenient for breaking team mafia.

I’d put that person in a scum game, just to screw with your expectations

[Pine]

Definitely in for that

[Pine]

The Horsemen are recruiting.

Do you want to win Team Mafia?

Do you have what it takes to be one of the Four Horsemen?

To join this elite team, message War (kuribo) and Pestilence (Pine)

[Pine]

I’m vaguely disappointed that pine didn’t go with my suggestion of pop culture interpretations of the horsemen.

They definitely need a chronic lurker for famine and a lolhammer specialist for death though.

But we want to win

Besides, kuribo is already sporting War from The Binding of Isaac as an avatar, as I am a poisoned apple.

[Pine]

Is this more your speed?

[Pine]

I know, I know. I do my homework.

[Pine]

Left to right, Death, Famine, War, Pestilence - and yes, Pestilence is sometimes interpreted as Conquest, the striving of individuals to dominate one another presaging the descent into societal War, causing widespread Famine, leading ultimately to the Death of Man.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The Horsemen ride...

Pestilence - Pine
War - Kuribo
Famine - Xtoxm
Death - Mastina

Whats the betting line look like? Daddy needs some action and the poker game on this site is slower than my dead dad trotting to first.

Smart money's on the Horsemen.

Ok, this is getting scary. I've made about a dozen posts in the last hour or so as I connected the dots and the mods have removed or edited all my posts except the ones that make me sound like a raving conspiracy theorist. The clues are all there, look at page one:

Here’s the tracking I was doing for the Four Horsemen. I don’t know the results of the surveys, of course. It was surprisingly close. I do know that had scum not been caught in Gay Mafia through a cascade of slips, POE and mech, kuribo would have secured our fourth win, and we’d have stood alone as the only 4-win team. Right down to the wire.

Four Horsemen forever!
