The Syndicate

even if the sample was smaller than i'd ever like, i'm very glad Bass and TH were involved. i think they're both swing players that can heavily influence this game long-term. BWT11 too in his limited appearance.

MP and i might as well have been filler though.

thanks y'all who took part in that. the data might not reveal itself as meaningful until later in the game, if it does at all (only getting 4 people is crummy). but for now i will compile a chart. a couple thoughts: this exercise alone made me feel better about Bass. not only was he quick to pull th...

Jay: Have you ever tried running this in a larger game, say 30+? I think the results would be even more telling in that setting. this is only the second time i've done it. i picked it up from someone in the champs game i played. more participants would definitely be better, but what can ya do.

did i skip turnip?

going in order of post count, because that's the easiest reference for me. we begin. your gun to head (GTH) reads of MOVINGPICTURES07.

GO.

the concept here is EXTREMELY simple. i am going to go down the slate of living players, one by one. everyone will state their read on that player -- NO NEUTRAL READS ALLOWED.

mafia or town. period. these are gun to head reads.

whatever, we're doing it. we're eating up thread space every time we talk about it. if you're here, you're playing. if you don't play, you're more suspicious. description coming up...

10-20 minutes, if the pace is maintained.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Can we play the game now, Jay?

i'm game.

HEY Y'ALL: if you're here right now and will be for the next 10-20 minutes, say aye.

if we get enough people, i have an activity for you.

Notice:

anyone who was just deliberating how other players will look in the event of a townie Elohcin flip... those concerns are still valid. this lynch should be treated as the lynch of a townie from an analytic standpoint as we pursue mafia.

that'll do. nice work everyone.

nobody gets any points for this one though. mafia probably thought she'd flip town.

i'm getting a lot of gut pings that i've been wrong about DDL. he'll need a lookover.

i threw my vote on Elo. every other option is mathematically impossible. and she's a red read. so cool beans.

The best way to describe Vompatti is that he's the most Dadaist/avant-garde mafia player you could imagine. I can't think of any other way to describe it. I think the guy's extremely hard to read, and he's been lynched a ton as a civvie because of this. Of course, he's also been lynched as a baddie...

could be. could you leave any parting warnings/thoughts?

General rainbow for the moment. i haven't been able to review everyone as thoroughly as i'd like, but here we are. i'm going to disallow myself from any cop-outs with neutral reads. i feel u: MovingPictures07 Sloonei you're close to being felt: sanmateo birdwithteeth11 TinyBubbles Dragon D. Luffy pr...

i believe we only have 6 votes left in the field and currently the tally leader is up by 4. so i don't feel like i have many things i can do with mine.

is anyone else who hasn't voted still around to talk about this?

curses aren't super common on RYM, but they happen. we had a game in which a player was forced to write every post as a poem and it had to rhyme.

G-Man poses a difficult problem for me. normally with a player like this, i think the best solution would be to apply immense and arbitrary pressure upon him in the form of votes. but since votes here are not changeable, i am not going to call for that strategy. he has us in a position of total gut-...

Day 2 ISO - Turnip Head @Metalmarsh ^^ So what you're saying is, MP used the word "transparent" 7 times in 218 posts. i liked this post a lot. had i been around i would have critiqued the post MM made about MP using the word "transparent" because i thought it was a silly case. it...

I would like your thoughts on TH. I do not remember an Iso from you about him. you're right, he's the last player i am going to examine today. give me a few minutes. :) WHERE'S MY ISO, JAY? DAMMIT. :P unfortunately time was not my ally this phase. maybe in Night 2 assuming i don't get victimized by...

No.

Day 2 ISO - TinyBubbles I don't think Epi's style is inherently suspicious. It think the points he's made have consistently been unfair and misleading. And his vote was really bad. He's a lot like old Mac for you RYMers. Also, I can't emphasize this enough. I'm certain that Epi is mafia. We haven't ...

that time i even tried to do the OT thing :P

i've only just now discovered that the "[DAY X]" labels on the posts in the filters aren't always indicative of when the posts were made

EBWOP: second last game on RYM, not last

i dont like how much yall have been discussing strategy this phase insted of just mafia-hunting. there's probably a few players who havent even been mentioned. i also dont like that jay has never really analyzed mp's posts since early on day 1. i think he is usually more critical of players and it'...

am i correct that the deadline is in about 1 hr and 45 mins?
