Ooh, I too would like this feature on the syndicate.

I never would have imagined that the sentence "I accidentally liked my ex-girlfriend's picture" would be one that would make sense, but here we are.

This generation has to click a button to express their emotions.

Did your past self meet you? If not, then this can't happen.

There's only three plausible options:

1) There is a singular universe, and so your experience of the past is exactly what happened; or
2) There is a multiverse, in which case if you meet a version of yourself from the past, that person is not you; or
3) There will be plot holes in your life story.

Don't forget, retrocausality is about the future effecting the past. So, it's possible you could create the multiverse, but it's also entirely possible that the point of this game is to demonstrate that retrocausality is an illusion designed to keep you pacified.
*affecting

Golden's use of "effecting" is correct.

Bad
Here we go again.
Except he was good in that game.

So this must mean he’s good again,.,rightt?
I have no read on Mac in this game. I don't presume he's good just because he's been good in similar circumstances in the past. It could just as easily be an intentional move to get me to read him as town. Also, I think there's been at least once he's done this and been bad (Talking Heads), but I'm not 100% certain of that.

nutella wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 7:06 pm Epi is there something wrong with having no suspects at this stage given how few posts there are at all

Is there something right with it?

nutella wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 8:30 pm No, I just don't think it's unreasonable

It isn't unreasonable, that's true.

What I find unbelievable (rather than unreasonable) is that my suspect entered with enthusiasm and did nothing, and when asked for a suspect, rather than engage with me or anybody else to determine where a vote would be best placed, a vote was cast for lapluie simply because there's other non-contributors out there. That's a cop out.

My second suspect is Golden. I think he's posturing.

10:40pm EST (I assume PM, as his post doesn't say)

I think you’re posturing. But that’s just what you do, even when you’re good, so why would you read it as bad?

Because you don't do it when you're good.

I’m not ‘subtly’ doing anything. If someone says behaviour is suspicious and lynchworthy, but it’s that persons normal behaviour, I’ll point it out every time, and there’s nothing subtle about it. Epi was just posturing anyway (looking to see who would take the bait).

Policy lynch zeph if you want, but don’t pretend it’s anything other than that.

I'm not posturing. And my original vote was not a matter of policy.

I note that you and nutella have both tried to paint it that way.

I don’t believe you.

How am I posturing, and how is my original vote a matter of policy when it's been demonstrated that there are other people who would fall under that policy?

But how do you know what “normal” is? How many gamed have you played with Zyph to attribute normalcy to any of his play?
It only takes one counter example to be bullshit logic.
Also who said it was a policy lynch? I vote because I think it’s suspicious. If that’s policy lynch, then so be it.
In that case

[VOTE: scotty] aubergine

Because there’s no way in hell your suspicion of Zephyrus or linking him to me is genuine.

As a policy lynch it’s consistent with normal town scotty. I might even buy it if you said it just had aspects of a policy lynch but there was a small suspicion. Scotty likeslynchinv low posters early.

But not apolicy lynch at all? Genuine suspicion based of a single early day zero post? There is nothing true about that - not from you, or epi, or anyone ever.

You're bad and protecting Zeph.

Golden wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 10:32 pm Chances of me ever posting what I did about zeph if we were baddie teammates is precisely zero.

I side with Scotty. I think Scotty is good and Golden is trying to make his move against someone who can easily be lynched.

And Zephyrus couldn’t ‘easily be lynched’ when he had three votes before you shifted to me? Or is that different because you say it is.

You're teammates. You two plus Mac.

I garauntee you Golden is bad.

Lynch Golden.

To be fair Golden, I could post a picture of a bowl of Cheerios on Day 0 and I'd be surprised if you didn't tell me whether it was a town bowl of cereal or a scum one.
which cereals do u think are town and which are scum? I think captain crunch is scum but idk why.

also equally importantly who do you think is bad? who do you trust?

It is not for a civilian to concern himself with getting into loads of trouble. That's what mafia have to worry about.
