Finally, there’s Epi. I’ve not seen that much from him and what I have seen, hasn’t impressed me much. For someone so experienced and competent here at The Syndicate, I find he’s been more ‘superficial’ in his posts than I recall has been the case in previous games. As I mentioned earlier, I think he’s very strong as Mafia and could be flying under the radar a bit.
I prefer to study the dressing.
I'll answer this tomorrow. I know you are dead, but I'll answer it tomorrow. I'm zonked.
I've been behind like hell, and I'm still catching up. I believe in reading the thread because reading people's posts gives you...I don't know...ideas about them.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 7:06 pm My campaign against playing catch-up has not ended, so don’t expect to read this thread cover to cover. I’m in the middle of doing lots of homework right now but I’ll have free time later tonight. If anyone wants to talk at me about key points in the game or direct my attention to anything interesting that’d be groovy. If not I’ll just throw myself blindly into the conversation when I can.
Also lapluie and I still have not really played a game together on the Syndicate.

Yes, dear friend, we are once again engaged in Mafia combat. That said, I am honoured and privileged to have people of your calibre and character here to play with. There is no hate here from me (not towards you at least) and I trust you may join me in the civil and respectful exchange of friends as befits a true gentleman as yourself. It is indeed a beautiful opportunity and I too, am happy to share it with you.
My apologies for sleeping in through last EoD. I was exhausted and forgot to set the alarm
I see that Master-Sloonei has joined us in place of poor Owner. This is great news in my view. This game now contains the elite of Mafia experience and skill of the Syndicate and I look forward to a cracking game!

I'd put Owner and Lunalee in the evil box. And maaaaaybe JJJ.insertnamehere wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 2:39 pmThis. Her 3 targets that she's focused on, Bullz, Kara, and me, have all been easy suspicions to come by, and mostly feel like her hopping onto easy suspects already mentioned by others. She criticized me for having too few/weak reads, and only providing "commentary" to the thread, while she herself has been guilty of all of that.timmer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 2:15 pmLuna is definitely reactionary right now. It reminds me of my earlier mafia career where I would freak out once I realized that I was being eyed. But she seems to be flailing with no idea of an overarching goal. Vote bullz. Don't vote bullz. But vote bullz. But maybe Kara. But no bullz... it's dizzying.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 2:11 pm I looked over Luna's posts in U-Pick and Mega Man (mafia in both). It's difficult to identify any tonal differences with this game. In terms of content, I do observe that in her mafia performances she was inclined toward individualized player analysis, in the forms of large quote compilations, ISOs, or thorough reads lists, in a way that isn't quite as visible here. Her hunting activity is more reactive and less self-constructed.
I always read willful hypocrisy as a scumtell. Other folks I'd be down to lynching: Glorf, Owner, and maaaaaybe JJJ. Need to read up on all of three of them before I decisively side against them.

I’d be more cautious than you however in jumping to any conclusion about that suggesting that he is ‘good’. Having said that, I’m not sure that my meta/tonal reads even apply here anymore - as I alluded to this morning, things seem very different here now than they were when I used to play. Take Epi for example - I don’t remember him ever being so low key as he appears this game. I was thinking that looked a little out of the ordinary but maybe he’s changed his approach?Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 3:54 amhello!Glorfindel wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 12:28 amKylemii Nice to be playing with you again! We’ve never quite connected in any game we’ve played previously so this might be the first. Tell me, what do you think of Quin?
quin is taking a more active approach to this game than I'm used to seeing him take, in the sort of jabby punch way that he does, which on the surface level looks good to me.
wbu?
No. I'm voting you right now to have some place to vote. Whether it stays or moves is contingent upon what I read, what I stir up, and then what I read.

The language of this post doesn't suggest "gut" at all, but rather is assertive and sure of itself in a way that doesn't ring true with respect to mere intuition.
"Engages with Epi in his player salad post."
I suppose in this day and age if you name more than two people as suspects, you are guilty of making a "salad" or some nonsense such as that. I named my four top suspects at the time. I ask you, is there a way I can do that without someone being able to characterize it as a "salad?"
"Epi tries to distance himself from Owner"
The biggest issue I have with this particular comment is its circularity: It assumes the conclusion it aims to support is true, which is the only way the premise can be true. This suggests to me that Lunalee is less interested in figuring out if I'm bad or not and more interested in making it look like I am bad should Owner be lynched and be revealed as bad.
" Owner produces their own player salad post and lists Epi as "null""
And? What about it?
I submit that when it appeared likely that Owner was on the way out the door, Lunalee used one of my own favorite mafia tricks in the book: Getting a preemptive start on the next Day.
I started looking at Owner's ISO, and I thought, "hey with the way Owner and Epi have interacted with each other, what if they were scum mates?"
Throwing out actual reasons you suspect 4 people is better than just saying you suspect those 4 people. That to me is what makes the difference between "player salad" and "here are my suspects."
The reason I thought is was strange that Owner lists you as "null" was because she seemed to have opinions on everyone else she interacted with except you.
Those were my thoughts, and admittedly I threw out my "gut read" post without a ton of thought, but it was close to EOD, and I thought it might be useful for discussion.
