The Syndicate

I’m glad the mafia team didn’t kill the inactive players. That isn’t their responsibility, and I wouldn’t have done it either in their shoes.

This is the first time I have seen bad guys/gals follow the chalk with their kill selection on this site, and they reaped the rewards. It was good play.

I’m glad Epignosis removed the inactive players. No hot wants to do that, but sometimes it is necessary. It isn’t fair to ask civilians to lynch them or mafia to kill them.

Thanks for killing me night 1, seriously (whoever did that). That was the first time that has ever happened to me on The Syndicate.

jack's reads don't strike me as very flexible so far in this game and that bugs me

Yep, Turnip Head is smelly all right. That was most definitely him.

hi marmot! i'm jaggedjimmyjay, but you already know me

actually i think turnip head might be smelly. he's normally the type to stand in defense of people who feel like being goofy, and i have modeled at least some of my posts after his example. but now he thinks i'm bad, like yeah right dude. no you don't dude. you know i'm good, dude. because i'm not on your team. that's the implication. that you're a bad guy. instead of a good guy like me.

tryna capitalize on my silliness, you go to hell sir

feels funny when i'm like this. like, so many mafia players make it their entire mission to be unreadable, as if that's the objective of the game. it definitely makes me worse, as in i am much less useful and cannot promote winning mafia the way i normally would. it makes me more confident in my strategic decisions.

i do see the appeal though in that i don't have to do as much and it's mildly amusing. i am sorry to my lovely civilian crew that you must get this version of me in mega man mafia 2k18. but you know what, i deserve this. i'm special, and important, and loved, and doggone it people like me

What are you talking about mega , mega man can not be bad You're talking nonsense.

you're probably right simon. i never played these games and dunno what the theme is. sometimes the hero can be bad!

what's your concern about luna's reaction to the eloh flip?

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 10:20 pm Could you elaborate what it was that you liked about Colin here?

i had no difficulty believing him when he said he thought there was a similarity in your play to what he remembered from AG. when Colin was lynched in AG, he was quite cranky -- he didn't think the reasons for that lynch were justified (even if he was a mafioso), and it was a conversation that lasted into the post-game. it was clearly a moment that stuck in Colin's memory, and i think it makes sense that he would especially remember the contribution his then-teammate made during those proceedings.

his expansion on that didn't strike me as false. i think it's less likely that he made up the AG meta read than it is that he really did see something in a moment and acted upon it. he didn't stick to it stubbornly either, the small point that it was, because when the topic resurfaced he voiced doubt about his suspicion of you. it was a development, and it didn't strike me as phony.

damnit i have the most posts bye

nutella wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 9:50 pm No, you said something about whether mega man is immune to recruitment, and the stuff I pointed out makes it pretty clear that he is, imo.

dude i already said that shit

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 9:13 pm The lynch result is a bummer, but it's also highly unlucky if Mega Man is immune to recruitment. That would mean that Eloh really didn't get it, and we were right to accuse her of not getting it -- just not about why.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 8:50 pm Eloh lynch was, in fact, garbage, and she was lynched for the same reasons she usually gets mislynched.

i went back and counted how many times you mentioned eloh's name prior to her being lynched.

it was pretty easy.

zero

speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 8:50 pm Quin doesn't feel genuquin though. Everyone wants to lynch him, which is a good sign for his alignment, but I'm just not getting it.

these sentences confuse me. you don't get why he is a civilian, or why everyone wanting to lynch him is a good sign for him, or why he doesn't feel genuine, or something else?

Nutella feels like she knew too well that the lynch was bad. She had Eloh early, then avoided the splashback.

I get this bullshit a lot. I knew the lynch was hot garbage because it was hot garbage.

great, who's bad

You suspect me wrongly for my treatment of you.

I suspect you because you're better than this.

"You're better than this" implies you think I was acting in a way which fell beneath my likely knowledge and understanding of Quin the Mafia player.

And you're wrong.

Because you're struggling to place yourself in my shoes. Oh well.

I want everyone to tell me what Elohcin's alignment is, and also why you say so.

Or does he stick his neck out and embarrass himself in the most awful ways because he wants to make his mark on the game he plays?

I would say that you generally go your own way, but I would not say that you never follow the lead of others -- at least not without spending a lot of time reviewing all of your shit to determine whether an example can be located. That's not a Quin question, it's an everyone question. Everyone does that sometimes, and if you expect me, in a sub-10 minute time space, to give you credit on that basis then you have come to a stupid conclusion.

I expect it of you because I don't expect you to call me out on such bull in the first place.

We're past EoD. Where do you stand on it now?

I think you're wrong about yourself, but I understand why you perceive your play the way you do and lean town on you. I leaned town on you when I moved my vote in the end. You'd be dead otherwise.

If Mega Man isn't immume, then Epi's reveal doesn't say what the alignment is anyway. TH is right to point out the orange G too. Dunno what that is, but it might be alignment-suggestive.

Quin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 9:04 pm I think I hate 3J for the latter one in particular. I've played too many times with him for him to not know that's not what I'm about. Jack less so.

I still have no idea. You asked a really specific question. Don't expect people to know every detail of your strategy, or more accurately your own perception of your strategy.

There's a reason I understand that. My strategy tends to be the most transparent in the world and people still don't get it in any game I play. It's why I have to explain things I find obvious so constantly.

y'all love to freak the hell out, but regardless of the flip a crazy ass EOD tends to be a net positive for the long-term

settle down

Scumread.

Jack threw a scumread on me for a post I made before I had an alignment. I assume he did the same for others.

This gives me a townread on Jack.

Jack isn't the recruiter. I'll say that. I don't know about the rest of it since he may not have had an alignment at the time himself.

We were well into Day 1 when he started throwing these posts around. He had an alignment.

Sloonei, I am confused. Did Jack through out cum reads before or after alignments were given. I see a contradiction in your posts here.

I don't have time to respond in detai but he's bad. It wasn't one post,just catching up all his posts. His questions and the thing about the recruitment feel fake. I don't like him and let's lynch him, not me man

Apparently.

Your case on Nova is like “How about a specific low poster?”

Aaaaaand now Nova has 5 votes.

I don’t understand how this happened.

well i said more than that

what is your concern with a nova lynch, or with the rationale i presented, or with the other votes placed for him?

I don’t like the way Colin handled his Sloonei read. I’m not sure it was real to begin with.

the recent dialogue went a direction that is not respectful of the context:

A) colin says he thought he recognized something in sloonei from the AG game

B) colin expanded, saying it was due to a perceived bad rationale given by sloonei for a vote/suspicion

now you, nutella, and sloonei have focused on the validity of B), but it's A) that actually means something. meta reads can be anything
