The Syndicate

We should go back to using OT green when we talk outside of the game. I don't know why we stopped.

I'm trying really hard not to meltdown like I do sometimes, but I'm still feeling hurt, and I can't keep the fact I'm feeling hurt hidden because that's how I am.
Hmmmmm

I'm not a fan of AtE, but this reads kinda towny

I can paint the post with OT green if you want.

That's not a game related post.

It's not appeal to emotion.

I am a very emotional person.

I let everyone know how I'm feeling, all the time.

Even as a wolf, I often say how I'm feeling, partly because I know that helps me, but also because it's how I feel comfortable.

If I'm sad, I'll let you people know I'm sad. If I'm happy, I'll let you know I'm happy. If I'm angry, I'll let you know it. It's not an "appeal". It's the full package you get from interacting with me.

Look sorry if I'm cluttering the thread with OT shit. I know it sucks for you guys.

Ok, since you asked so nice I cant say no.

The fact I have beef with you is not wolfy, I really have beef with you.

I also wish you apologized for insulting me when I said I wouldn't be able to be online Day 2 in Ducktales. I don't want to have a vendetta with you, but that has been bothering me since then so I have to say it.
Then don't, its not that hard dude

It's a little hard when the guy in question keeps announcing me he'll policy chop me from now on because he doesn't like my personality, and ignoring me when I try to address him to make ammends.

I want to start this as a clean slate, but it has to go from both ways.

Oh I forgot Flanders.

I kinda like Flanders.

[VOTE: Nanook] aubergine

Ok enough talking about me.

HK kinda wins brownie points because his reason to attack me today makes sense even if it's wrong.

Rondo said a few things but so far his cases are 1- policy yeeting me for showing emotions in a post and 2- copypaste of HK's above case. That isn't great.

falcon is meh. Liked him a bit yesterday, didnt enjoy the push on Sloon.

I'm giving Sloon the benefit of doubt but that has an expiration date similar to the one of milk. He needs to start showing work soon.

Dolby is slight town. Still wanna keep him alive for the free mech labor.

Nook is meh and I wouldn't mind making him go. Also Michelle who claimed to have a good meta of him wanted him dead so there's that.

So far I've liked Creature on tone.

Everyone else needs to come down to the playground.

I'm not saying it's meta, I'm saying this game rhymes with the only time I've seen you roll wolf.

And now with the times I rolled town?

Cuz I played the same way.

Case in point: the people who are used to my town meta all townreading me in ducktales.

Imagine being mischopped because you are too amazing as a scum player.

DDL: my scum meta looks like my town meta, thats how I won last game.
HK: you look like your scum meta.
DDL: yes it's because they are similar.

2015/16: DDL loses 10 consecutive games in a row in the Syndicate mostly as town. His confidence takes a permanent blow.
2017: DDL does some soul searching and realizes he just can't read people so he adopts a position of always double checking himself, which to this day he still has. he starts winning games at Syndicate.
2017/2018: DDL starts understanding what about his town meta makes people like him when they do, and learns to mimic it as scum. He also realizes his new town playstyle of self-doubt is also really useful for a scum playstyle. He starts winning wolf games at NF, and one year later, at the Syndicate.

hollowkatt wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 6:11 pm it super rubbed me wrong, DDLs takes are lukewarm at best, and it fits with how they played ducktales

And the reason I won ducktales is that I convinced all the people who know me well (Jack, Mac and Dizzy) that I was playing identical to my town meta, so even though most of the people who didn't know me well (everyone else) felt that I was suspicious, they deferred to the three above and let me coast until the end.

That doesn't prove I'm town, but my point is, I've become kind of good at mimicking my townself as scum lately.

The lukewarm tales are how I've played every game since 2017-ish.

Stuff surrounding DDL/Falcon is just meh.

I was alone on Rondo and Nook was on WW.

Changing votes is more likely to result in a winning wagon than trying to convince Nook to change his vote on a 5 min deadline.

And I wanted to kill a zero poster so I made the rational move.

It's a Scotty game, and Scotty has the strongest "always kill zero posters day 1" stance Ive ever seen, so this is thematically fitting.

Or rather, I havent bothered to ISO people and check who is more likely to be TMI.

Maybe day 2.

Sorry next game I will make sure I do not catch up on phone and instead use a laptop and a notebook to make notes of everything.

Actually joking, I wont. I will continue to catch up on phone, not take notes and post everything that comes to my mind even if its just unstructured, rambling thoughts because thats how I play and if you dont like it thats your problem.

Like half the active posters are saying I'm one of their biggest town reads and most are not saying why.

It's creepy.

I did not bother to make a list.

I dont wanna kill Sloon. I have a feeling he will improve activity. He said so at least.

Will change to any other zero posters if someone has a preference between them.

Calling anything a vanity wagon 2 hours before EoD when wagons are spread is just wrong.

I guess its a little less wrong now that you said the biggest wagon was 4 now 3. But its still very much flippable.

I cant have 5 consecutive posts while catching up 30 mins before EoD.

That kind of streak only happens when I catch up 8 AM Brazil time, when most players are sleeping.

This game is officially inactive.

Judging reactions is all meta reads though. Players all react differently to being being pushed. Also if you're aware of your meta, to either hide, or ignore, or omgus, or whatever that typical reaction is, it's really easy to just do the opposite.
My home community is pretty small though, and we're brutally cruel to each other.
Speaking of, what's @falcon45ca doing?

I am a man of refined & discerning taste when it comes to alcohol.

Basically if it's not gasoline, I'm good to go.

Got some reads bruv?
Nothing substantial. Creature's entrance felt off, picked up on that, and there was some beef between you yoo as well.. can't say it's very memorable.
Interesting though, I shook the ol SS "kill the slankers" tree last night, and it looked to me like creature bit and ran the hardest with it. Votes were tied at the time, so it looks kinda sus to me. I'm ok to leave my vote on him them.

Haven't played in a while so I'm a little slow on the uptake rn and have forgot how to play my angles to some extent. Not being familiar with the roster is making it difficult to trust other reads rn. Finding myself a bit paranoid. Kinda feel like dolby could be deep wolfing as their play hasn't really challenged any players, but high activity and appears to be towning, but not really a hunter per se.

+1 on Dolby.

I wanna keep him alive for a while because of the free labor he's doing, but I dont have any big reason to think it's not scum busywork.

Nah, just a decent wolf candidate and better than voteparking on a zeroposter until deadline.

And voteparking on a low activity player is better? What about Sloon makes him more suspicious than Rondo?

Seems like he is also too busy, but it making a bit more effort than Rondo, even if not much

How ya figure?
given that rondo is the leading vote getter I'd say it's a hot take. I town read it b/c it's very blatantly in your face anti-town and I don't think rondo has the wolf chops to pull it off.

I can buy Rondo is too busy to play as an NAI thing, and if that is true, then I think a wolf Rondo who is too busy to play could just take his chances and do that for the wifom.

What do you mean by forced to move? You're on a vanity wagon currently, what's the impetus to force your vote switch?

I'm not sure if I agree with this logic. With the biggest wagon being 2-3 people at any point of the day, there are no vanity wagons. Case in point, Sloonei is now leading the poll.

I think I like you less now. Especially if Sloonei flips scum.

Lots of people saying I'm town without saying why. While I'm used to being widely townread in some games, it kind of feels one or two scum are bandwagoning on that. If I die early, look for the people who trusted me a little too easily.

Agreed, ideally a vig (on host) takes care of the dead weight. I don't see a vig in the setup, or a min post requirement.

There are vig items but they seem expensive.
