The Syndicate

There is only one serious philosophical problem, and that is why I don’t have a girlfriend.

axiom - a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true

SORRY

Yeah I know what an axiom is, just making a joke

Wait...

Is the reason you don't have a girlfriend the actual philosophical problem? Or are you saying that there is some mysterious philosophical problem and just because it exists it somehow is keeping you from having a girlfriend?

If it's the latter the solution is simple...just ignore the philosophical problem and get a girlfriend.

Ooh, interesting. Is my face considered a metaphysical problem?

Oh no worries, I should have thought of something more clever to say in response then, but (despite knowing what an axiom is) I am often what you might call a dumb person.

Wow, that is the worst quoting hack job I have ever seen. Exhibit A!

I agree more with the suspicion of Scirrus’ entrance than with the suspicion of Amy, at this point in time.

I see some people asked about my post re: Amy and Scirrus. I don’t know either of them, but I don’t see any reason why people are voting for Amy. Looks townish or null to me. Meanwhile Scirrus’ entrance and some of the catch-up (claiming town 4 times in one post?) looks forced. Those are my takes.

Sorry, first game in a year + a bunch of new people + a lot of meta-reads + new slang to pick up on = having to work much harder to understand the thread. I've read everything but tbh not sure how much of it really sunk in. I think I'm going to try ISOing people and see if that gets me further than trying to digest like 6 pages all at once.

Yeah fair warning I’m not retaining like 90% of the arguments people are having so far, and I haven’t even started drinking yet.

Nanook town. Rabbit reminds me exactly of his play in Inception or whatever so I’m going to look up that game and see what he was there.

any thoughts from the kza flip?

12/30

Haven’t gotten that far yet.

I’ll be as honest as possible with y’all, I am having a hard time getting comfortable this game. It reminds me of my junior year Critical Reading class, a class ostensibly on literary theory and criticism. I read all the readings every week, I kept up on coursework, I did what was asked of me ... but I barely understood a fuckin’ word of it. What does Derrida mean by the signifier and the sign? Don’t fucking know!

I think my problem in Critical Reading was that the foundation of it was the debate over formalism vs. structuralism (I think?) and I never managed to quite learn what those were. Subsequently I didn’t fully understand anything that came afterwards, because how could I? You can’t really read Baudrillard if you don’t know the alphabet. (I actually did retain some Baudrillard.)

Point is, maybe it’s the fact that I don’t know most of these players, or the fact that all the posts in this game are 7 paragraphs long, but I couldn’t understand any of the D0 fighting (which for all you Baud-heads out there, felt like a simulacrum of Mafia rather than Mafia, but I digress) nor most of the D1 that follows. The KZA flip should prove useful and I do have some reads but if you ask me something be prepared to be disappointed because in a game that purports to limit post counts ... you guys talk an awful lot.

And yeah put me in the POE, whatever, used to it, I still think Hally needs to be cleared independent of KZA’s flip either way

My thoughts are these:

To reiterate, still think Hally is bad, there are scum and town on both wagons.

KZA was almost certainly bussed but not by NANOOK (but possibly to save Hally instead)

Everything Alison says I find agreeable.

I’m down with resolving Radishes one way or another.

iaafr good too.

I will yeet literally anybody else, probably.

I would like to amend this post by saying that I graduated with a 4.0 GPA in my English major coursework and a 3.98 GPA overall so I was not dumb in school. My vanity and ego will not allow me to allow people on the internet to think I am dumb in the rare few situations I am not. Thank you for reading.

I also now read Scirrus as towny.

Also can people stop reading me as town so much. I don't want to die in the night. Thank you.
PSA FOR THE MAFIA TEAM:

proto is softing a POWERFUL PR here

i know this because i dont think its within his normal mindset to be unhappy if he were to die n1. in fact i think he'd be honored.

i am helping u out here, mafia.

i have a read on proto that he's a powerful, PR, therefore, please kill PROTOCULTURES instead of TUTUU night 1

please and THANK u

Tracker. I targeted Long Con and can confirm that he did not target anybody giving credence to the notion he has a passive role, giving credence to you.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 9:44 pm Why would you track LC tho

Because I thought he was bad but not taking a ton of heat so he might be a good choice of the wolf team to do the kill

I can believe that Alison and I are both trackers of a sort.

What?

I mean, I’m outed and the Mafia know my role so if you want to yeet me the town is in pretty good position anyway. Not the Platonic ideal of a lynch but if that’s how you wanna resolve me,

I’m unlimited shots.

I’m good with that plan. If scum somehow fuck with it then they’re using their power to get me lynched, which, lol

Do we have all the claims compiled anywhere?

Perhaps I am just really bad at reading Alison.

If Hally is Mafia and she’s concocting a scheme to get me, the most mislynchable player on The Syndicate, mislynched by messing with my Tracker stuff, then the civs honestly have this thing in the bag.

kay this checks out

i redirected you to wwh so you actually tracked her

she targeted dizzy which is why you got that result

that plus wwh not getting nk’d means you actually have a track and did not have a kill last night

it’s at the very least a soft clear

I don’t see what scum Hally has to gain by concocting a roundabout way of clearing me, or by trying to clear me at all.

i THINK scum hally would only have motivation to do this play if they were the last remaining member of their team, and thus wanted to conceal the fact that they performed the nk without blatantly implicating themselves by killing colin

i'm not sure it's a good play for scum hally to go for otherwise

if people can think of other scenarios feel free to let me know

pizza time

6/60

I guess, but Hally could easily just sit back and let me get chopped. It kind of happens a lot. I mean, I just got as cleared as I can be and people are still talking about me being in POE, sooo ....

If Hally is bad then we have to accept a world where they didn’t just distance or bus teammates; they went scorched earth on them. It’s possible but y’all tell me how likely that is

Colin, if you are town I think you have to make a sacrifice. Nothing you can do will get you out of the PoE and the other roles in the game are in conflict with yours. Maybe Proto has pocketed me hard but I think we check you first out of the two. You may say that you're a confirmed tracker. You may say that trackers are underpowered on wolf teams. Both true. But I think it's just clear that unless we are in my tin foil world the wolves were neutered anyways.

Bro apologies for gross language, idk if you’re “cleared” or not but you have a hard-on for murdering me and I DON’T LIKE IT

Like Ivan Drago if I die, I die but the whale man has been champing at the bit to yeet me, please let the record show

protocultures wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 10:58 am its likely LC went nowhere because I did as check (although I could have been jacked).

From my pov, Colin kind of has to be same alignment as LC as is risky to claim LC went nowhere, and I think they claimed before LC said they are passive/didnt go anywhere. It is possible someone else got a tracker check on LC and fed the info to Colin, but this seems unlikely, even to me. As such, I think this makes Colin and LC same alignment. Nobody else can really KNOW this for fact, this is only for me because of my own check. So if/when i die, you can add more weight to it.

Colin can be town and Hally can be mafia.

Hally can be town and Colin can be town.

Hally can be mafia and Colin can be mafia, however this also means LC is mafia, which makes the mafia team 5 in total. How much do we hate an idea of 5 mafia?

The world that cant exist is Hally town and Colin mafia, since colin says "targetted dizzy" and no way for Colin to know who Hally redirected to.

So if Halley flips town, colin is town, and LC is town.

If we cop check Halley, we get 3 for 1.

I probably messed up somewhere - @NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME check my homework?

I could be town and LC could be a passive mafia role, but that would then require Hally being his teammate, right?
