Return to “Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 9]”

Also I think that Eloh's point towards Bea you quoted above actually tastes pretty strange post Bea flip.
SVS probably not.Scotty wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 3:53 pmWhat would you say if there were a max of only 1 baddie in DH/Golden/Sloonei and who would it be?
G-man mentioned
Potentially juicy post here.G-Man wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:03 pm Vanishing for most of the phase was not my intention. Here is a short version of what I have so far:
Several tiers based on participation-
Big Talk- Scotty, Sloonei, Golden coward, DH- I would be shocked if there wasn’t a baddie in that group. Maybe two, but lots of productive chatter for the most part.
Llama in a tier of his own, but I still feel loose llama is good llama.
VivAxe or Viv2.0, Eloh, Michelle, Quin- mixed bag here. Eloh was sussed yesterday, Viv2.0 is a reset and still murky on D1 NAA read, Michelle feels most ambiguous (her posts didn’t make any impression on me), and same goes for Quin. These folks are at radar-level. I need to ISO to see if I detected a skimmer.
Kate, sig, Bea, Wilgy- 1/2 seem off the table today and the sig is less memorable that Wilgy licking everything in sight. Under the radar crew- also need ISOs to find manufactured content.
G-Man, LoRab, DF- low posters. Not ideal to find myself in that camp that must be ‘dealt with’ before too long. I saw points about LR’s evasiveness but I’m not exactly one to harp on that without being a hypocrite just yet. DF… just needs to show up for the weekend and get some content before he becomes an afterthought to everything happening in the present.
I will try to speed read the day and make a vote after I get back from wife’s birthday dinner.
Too many null reads for me right now- not a good look. Need to get my head back in the game and sort out some townclears to help my poe.
Good point about the highposters, but voting llama will be tough while he's hanging around in hades.sig wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 10:02 am Okay so my issue right now is I’ve got literally zero scum reads and very few scum pings.
Llama was very anti Quin which seems like a place to maybe place a vote.
I could see Sloonie or Golden being mafia, based off the High posting theory which I do think is true + Gman not voting for sloonie is eyebrow raising.
Additionally it’s clear mafia are now shooting for high content people so why go Llama than Scotty but leave golden and sloonie.
Michelle is still a gut mafia lean I’m nursing but I’ve got zero reason for it besides gut
Right, seems like I jumped the gun there. You can have my pinky for pointing that out, zombie-manScotty wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2022 11:36 pmI think she is saying sig said splints’ (she) iso doesn’t say much
Not sure about that, and you aren't either, which is why this is off to me. Because it's worded as if sig's assuming that it only affects town, which is something town shouldn't know.
Bea’s flip semi clears DF for me since he was also insaned
Don't understand how being insaned clears DF for yousig wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2022 10:34 pm 11 players left 3 mafia.
We’re still in a good place thankfully. (Assuming Scotty isn’t mafia which I’d have assumed if he was vigged said vig would’ve been freaking out)
I’m leaning toward Michelle or Quin. Quin based offand Michelle is mainly gut.

Not going to lie, that emoji makes me uncomfortable.
As does this pronoun usage for sig after doing an ISO looking for similar posts on a NK.
I'd prefer to describe it as a worse lynch than Bea at the current gamestate. I think the strategic intent was too obvious anyway for mafia to fall for it, which was to play good cop in mafia-bea world. While it's tempting to just revive my D1 read on Sloonei and Eloh with their rather blunt way of pushing for my lim, I'd believe it more likely that mafia picked the sidelines here.Golden wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 4:08 pmVivax, on night three you talked about DF as someone there was grounds to campaign for.Vivax wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 3:46 pm Can't really spot any concerted effort to save G-Man around End of Day.
Bea vote sticks out as townie, at first glance. I think for a Feb team that doesn't want to stick out too much voting together to save him, G-Man is the more logical choice. With the best choice being to vote off both wagons.
Michelle feels less opinionated than during D1. The DFaraday push could be such an attempt at placing a vote away from G-Man and also not Sloonei.
It's a weird interaction between these two, actually. It's really not the angle most of the game was looking at, and they seem to feel a bit too safe in this bubble where they push each other. DFara openly admits to not reading the reasons behind the wagons, but somehow finds Michelle interesting enough to read. Maybe he was just reading whoever was pushing him, but then he'd have had to read the thread?DFaraday wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:50 pm I don't suspect either G-Man or Sloonei, and I won't be able to read the cases on them before the vote closes, so I will go ahead and move my vote to Michelle, on the grounds that I feel less town about her than anyone else really. As in, nothing has stood out as civ.
The banger here is that Michelle didn't vote, so for DF to notice her, he'd also have had to run into posts describing reasons behind the main wagons. So this could be grounds to campaign for a DF lynch tomorrow, as it feels like he's lying here about what he read.
Today you described it as a bad lynch.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on your progression and where you stand on DF and Michelle on balance.
I'm a shitpost aficionado but while I love clowning around, it often messes with the game outcome and a few heads along with it. All up for it once town's in a safer spot, provided I survive this terrifying day.
You do you, but I'm civvie and appreciate accusations I can respond to. G-Man's interactions with me being lukewarm are very much something that he could have planted, being a newcomer and all. Fully agree that I never saw any threat coming my way from him, but if I were to use your logic I should want to lim you just because Fingersplints was the N1 kill, and what could you rebuke to that?Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:04 pmThat doesn't mean I had a clear read on you.Vivax wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 1:57 pmI find this hard to believe. Even before G-Man's flip you gave off the impression of having me in your PoE at all times.Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 1:34 pm I should also be clear that I am not done looking at people's interactions with G-man. My current Vivax suspicion exists entirely because of the way G-man interacted with him. I have not looked at Vivax's interactions with G-man. Or most of the remaining players' interactions with G. So while I stand by the reads I have right now, my view of the game is still a work in progress.

That's reassuring thanks! I was afraid of coming across as too edgy with it. I believed it to be funny with the local Austrian bakery shopped in and being known for streaks of slight insanity on my old community, and I'm a sucker for some movies and music from the 80s. Will still change it at some point probably.S~V~S wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 6:46 am@Vivax I love your avatar, when my Dad was younger he looked like Scarface era Pacino, so I always like me a good Pacino picture!Golden wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 6:10 amI suppose it’s true in that questions came from people who indicated an expectation I’d have a strong meta read on DF.Vivax wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 6:04 amI really didn't.

What’s interesting to me is that I got several questions directed at me about why I suspected DF *most* or *more* than others but it sounds like, from what you’re saying, you didn’t get those same questions.
I played mafia for years at teamliquid and it's a starcraft forum where no one has custom avi's. While playing offsite it really baffled me how susceptible we are to take the avatar into consideration when we read players in mafia games. But that's just human nature I guess.
Which, tbh, I don’t.
When we were in early days here, before the RYM influx, some of us were visiting various sites and playing there, looking for recruits. I played at this one site where I questioned them for lynching a low poster Day One, instead of trying harder to find suspects, and they lynched me instead
Apparently voting low posters Day One was their norm unless there was a red flag. I was the flag. I loathe default low poster voting, and I tend to find people pushing for low posters suspicious. But it would seem that that is not universally the case.
I don't know Vivax, and I can't get a grip on his game. He often seems to be on the same page as me, then he says/does something I don't understand. In which case I back away and watch more. Which is the lesson I took from that other site (I think it was Medieval or King Arthur themed, something like that). Everyone does things differently, give strangers some room, and try to understand them (things which those Arthurians did not do for me) I expect the same courtesy be extended to me to some extent, but I'm a hybrid. I was the second member, and I was Admin here for several years. Now I'm a flitter in and out, who plays a game or two a year, and I would say the majority of the active players never "met" me. I also have troubles discerning humor coming from people I don't know. Not always sure if kidding or not, like Vivax' murder/crocodile tears post. I spent way more time than was healthy trying to decide if that was a joke or a chat room slip.
So maybe voting low posters is the norm in Vivaxville
So yes, Golden, I would not expect this vote from you, but I am thinking of the you you were several years ago. You might be a different you today. So when you got huffy and indignant at being challenged, I backed off, becasue that was a Golden I knew. I was a bit moreat Quin inserting himself into the discussion. The attorney comment was on one had a joke aimed at you, but I also was trying to figure out why he swooped in when he did and got involved in that discussion in the first place. It was facetious more so than trying to put you together, if you get my meaning.
Golden, one question, re Sloonei. If not for that role slot, would you feel differently? Because I also thought of G Man trying to set Sloonei up for a lynch as a possible reasoning behind his behavior. But it really looked to me like G Man committed suicide, he didn't even try to live at any point after Sloonei started taking votes. At the point where it was tied, even a civvie saving themself would move their vote. He never even did that.
It really looked like suicide, and I know G Man doesn't love being bad, but I can't ever see him suiciding like that for no reason. And I really am having a problem finding a reason for that in a world where Sloonei is a civ. From a baddie viewpoint, why would they sacrifice 1/4 of their strength to save a strong civ player like Sloonei?
Also while looking for smilies I found this guy! I used to love him!
I really didn't. You are more familiar with each other so it's understandable. And I often like to put on an awful cover, or maybe I'm too lazy to create a proper avi instead of the next best meme I can find.Golden wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 5:53 amDid you expect anyone would doubt it?

Can't deny that sometimes my thoughts grow legs and run off in mafia games.
Mostly. I think sig will be my new llama or scotty for today‘s dayphase, as in a player I trust enough to follow their vote around.
Those were Kate, me and...Golden perhaps?

Noting you also voted for him at one point, what do you think of those who voted for sig yesterday?
I was going a bit over Golden again and am now puzzled why it‘s unsurprising to him that the lynch was switched.
If the outcome is funny I am pleased with the result in either case :-)Kate wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 8:47 pmYea, it took me a few different takes on it bf I even understood what you were saying. But it's funny that I asked, as opposed to funny that you'd say it at all? I don't think so.
RIP scotty, and wp! Yeah this.
Why shouldn‘t I ?

I hope we'll play again! 
and Michelle is mainly gut.
(which may or may not be the person I'd currently vote if it were EoD)
