The Syndicate

No Bersercar Hercules? Shame.

Hey, Golden. You’re town, right?

Who should I vote for?

Oh don’t worry, I’m scum.

Nice to meet you Wolbre.

I was joking earlier. I’m always town. Statistical fact.

What’s your story? Or has that been posted already?

I'm more creating a list of who you shouldn't vote for.

Off the top of my head it includes MP, Mac, dunya, sig, scotty - these guys are creating content. Also liking wolbre so far, and if Epi is cursed then not him either.

I wasn’t gonna vote for them anyway except maybe MP. This is no help at all.

Remember everyone, if Dunya posts a ton, she cannot be mafia.

But your vote is currently on him.
Weird how I was inactive and people discussed my meta.
I'll elaborate on this.

She's heard of my meta in games I never really played in? Really, my meta came up?

suspect af. who in btsc gave you an idea of my meta?
nah you were compared to other players to me in discord in the past when we were OT discussing prolific Syndicate mafia players.
Dom has been mentioned 142 times in Discord, and none of those were comparisons to you.

[VOTE: dunya] aubergine

I find this super convincing.

Question for the thread: do you think that posting activity is often alignment indicative, and if so, in what circumstances? We had a bit of debate over this in FE but I'd like to hear more about it now considering we have a lot of high-level posters butting heads.

Sometimes.

Only after the game is a few phases in and depending on the player.

I think Lap not having posted much yet is NAI.

Marmot has pretty much just posted jokes, including a silly tentative vote on Sloonei. Is that normal?

JOH is someone I haven't played with before but his ISO is similar to Marmot's.

You take that back!

That's Marmot all right. He's a pretty aloof individual, but he can get down to business past D1. I think he's especially bonkers in D1, so don't draw anything from that.

However, he usually votes for himself, which he did not do today. I find that a civ lean.

JOH is playing very oddly from the only game I've played with him. Much wackier, and I don't think I like it. I don't know if this is his attempt at a different playstyle, but it's definitely off putting

Don’t worry. I’ll just lynch a baddie today to put you at ease.

[mention]Sloonei[/mention]

I hear a rumor you might be bad this game. Tell me about that rumor.

(I’m happy with my Epi vote btw.)

[mention]Long Con[/mention]

Are you concerned or do you just want a baddie dead? I ask because reasons.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 12:36 am What’s the deal with the votes on Epi and dunya?

Epi is strawsing/fake hunting.

I'm not hunting at all. No need when the prey lies down.

Oh well, then. Carry on.

I’m not bad. Do you have reasons to think I might be?

I haven’t read any of your posts from before the last three or so pages so “not really.”

You have no thoughts on your accusers?

But that's not what she even said? She said that Dom was compared to other players to her. I have had conversations with her in Discord about Dom myself. If Dunya gets lynched, let it be for something not fucking stupid.

I was being sarcastic. I think it’s a dumb accusation and that’s part of why I’m voting Epi.

I am concerned about the risk inherent in a lynch, given that a Civvie could die. This concern is linked to my desire to see all baddies dead. Not sure how to answer your choice statement, because I see it as non-dichotomous.

That’s sufficient.

sig wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 9:00 am This epi lynch is basically the nornal day 1 epi does junk and gets voted for it and he's usually a civ when that happens.

FE is a great recent example, I'm really wary of the epi voters especially the ppl who've played with him before

I think Epi was blatantly town in FE. (So was Jay. Maybe I’m biased.)

Statistically speaking, we’re likely to catch a baddie by lynching Speedchuck.

Why

Cause Speed is always mafia, similar to how I’m always town.

Whatup, Dom?

Dom wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 12:52 pm I will not vote epi today.

one thing I noticed is that both sig and dunya have characterized my post as "snarky". specific word choice tbh.

Do you think they planned to both say that in BTSC? :o

I don’t understand the accusation.

In one ear out the other.

Either of you have a real case in lieu of this unsexy pillow fight?

Hi, TH.

Have we played together before?

Dom wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 1:27 pm Hey guys-- no worries-- I won't joke around any more. Apparently that's only for level 4 syndicate users, my mistake.

eat shit.

That's more funny and colloquial, right?

This post made me crack up at my desk tho.

Next time I’m bad, I’m going to see if I can get into one of these day 1 dick measuring contests with a teammate to test all of you who are sure you can sus out when these things are scripted.

I’m not saying you can’t. I’m saying you should be tested cause the sample size of w/w doing that is low.

Move your vote.

Don’t tell me what to do.

But okay.

Spoiler: show

Meh. You’ll blink first.

I’m actually leaving my vote on Epi. Mostly because they haven’t posted since I started on page 12ish but I don’t see any compelling reason to vote Dunya or Nova and I don’t feel like Slooneiing with a vote I don’t intend to let sit still to try to make waves.

Is it? I'm new to GTH. I thought the gun was only supposed to force you to say town or scum instead of null.
The whole premise of Gun to Head is that it is just that- assumptions you would make on people if you had a gun to your head. Not organized beforehand where you say “ok, I’m thinking I’ll maybe call him bad and him good and oh! Looks like I need to come up with a few more grease monkeys!”

Bad look

I’ve brought this up before, and you’ve already touched on it. He seems silly and his investment is quite casual. I’m not sure if he’s just trying a different technique or what, but he was poking his nose in closets that didn’t need to be opened in GoC. Here it’s like he just lit a Yankee Doodle candle because he doesn’t feel like smelling cat hair

M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 4:13 pm Jay has kept casual statistics on the GTH game and, if I recall correctly, he has said that mafia-aligned players tend to be more hypersensitive to how many mafia members there are during GTH exercises than town-aligned players. I'm not sure how much stock he would put into it though in isolation, especially since speedchuck just seemed to be doing his own exercise here.

That idea has an expiration date of Jay calling it to our attention.

I’ll tell you what Speedchuck’s real alignment is on Day 6.
