The Syndicate

ggs.

I'm proud of my personal read accuracy, disappointed in my ability to utilize it. I was right on Michelle, DM, LoRab, Seanzie d1 and voted correctly on SVS.

My team guess towards the end was Thunal/Bereft and I blocked Bereft last night. Figured that'd be better than Thunal who I blocked n2 and saw no result lol.

I have opinions on a game where we called things cop checks etc. when there were rules against it. I had no way to argue "why is it a cop claim? Could just as easily be anything else." But at the same time felt that implied something about me knowing about the cop which would be rule breaking. Alas.

I appreciate your efforts LoRab

This game dead.

All things considered, it's w/e.

Regardless of what happens, me, Scotty or you, town or wolf flip, f5 or f3 should have enough game clarity for town who remain.

Why me? I’m civ. If you are, too, then we should be able to figure out an actual baddie.

Because of it's not you/Scotty then one of the pairings of Abigail/Thunal or Robyn/Bereft is likely true. However these two pairs of players have deduced that is not the case within themselves.

I keep typing shit, but I don't think there's anything I could say in this gamestate that would advance the game without breaking the rules or pushing others to do so.

It feels silly that we are here.

If we are really at a lock state, as silly as that would be in a game like this, might as well advise the game will be over faster if I'm not tossed over as I'm town. Suppose it doesn't matter though.

I feel like I'm really struggling to interact with the thread without breaking game rules or going against it's nature at this point.

and we have 3 chops

I'd put LoRab at the bottom and Abi at the top.

yeah poe was unordered

Abi shouldn't be in the PoE.

I still don't think this is the case

Thoughts before actually doing any reading today are kinda carry over from last cycle.

Robyn I lose to based on SVS interactions.

Scotty I lose to based on SVS interactions.

I need to evaluate Thun, Abi, LoRab Bereft slots.

Review town legacies.

Silly things that have resulted in this gamestate:

The fact that we saw the Robyn/Bereft dichotomy so early and did nothing about it is silly.

The fact that LoRab is still alive is silly.

And now we gotta solve around it lol

I should've trusted my butt and fought harder against DMs yeet

damn, i really thought the town was smarter than this

lol, I don't like that you used town as if you weren't one

[VOTE: Abi] aubergine however

I still don't know if DM is a hit. Cape May be correct though.

A DM yeet is something I wouldn't do, but wouldn't fuss about is where I'm at.

Bereft's entire play towards me this day has been poop.

That is all.

lol am I going to get misyeeted two games in a row where I've voted wolf successfully twice? Wild. I think that's pretty much a thing only I could accomplish.

caught for the wrong reasons vibe

Aye, just annoyed.

Can't be more clear, within a game I play for fun where I also have time constraints, and we still get silly lv 1 shade like that.

I was not trying to summarize your play in actuality, sir.

Then why make the post other than to shade?

Oh look, the wolves are both here

Hmm...

Re reading cape. Weird nk. Maybe I'm misreading DM and Cape was correct? Cape has to be correct on abit and incorrect on a little to be chopped. Cape was incorrect on SVS, but if correct on the other things, that'd put DM/Scotty as more suspect?

Thoughts before next feeding -

Bereft - could be a wolf, if I lose to this slot I blame Robyn. There's not much in SVS's ISO to indicate incompatibility, but I'd need to skim Bereft's as well. Feels like a thing to do if we get to f5/3.

DM - don't think is wolf. Town DM in Severance seems akin to their play here. Jay thought they were town as well. The interactions with SVS, I read more as "trying to gain last townie trust" than "supporting a lost teammate in public" if that makes sense.

LoRab - SVS ISO almost makes me want to say townie?

Abi - likely wolf. Compatible with both SVS and Michelle before their coin flip back and forth.

Robyn - would lose to if wolf. Enough town have advised that this is town Robyn, interactions with SVS do not appear aligned.

Rondo - would lose to if wolf. Kinda the same as Robyn.

Scotty - would lose to if wolf. Interactions with SVS indicates not W/W.

Thunal - could be wolf? Don't think so but could be. Not much I'm terms of SVS ISO that makes me think otherwise. I should review Michelle on this one.

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 5:52 pm I'm skimming SVS and I'm like "last wolves are in Bereft and Abi"

Also the more I skim the more I think Maybe LoRab isn't the way? Like, there was a moment where SVS moved to bus Michelle, but was like "look at the tasty LoRab over here."

Wouldnt that indicate more that lorab is bad? not less?

Not really? It did not feel like a distancing measure. More so a self justification of why SVS would defend Michelle without defending Michelle if given the opportunity.

Also the more I skim the more I think Maybe LoRab isn't the way? Like, there was a moment where SVS moved to bus Michelle, but was like "look at the tasty LoRab over here."

That wasn't a complete thought.

*Advocating for them in a way that makes me think twice about the yeet.

Half the mind to toss Abi for the same reason to toss LoRab. No way to validate Abi's pushes as bus or not based on their nature. Abi's entire response to me bringing that up was "do it" so I'm like "k"

LoRab just isn't here, and everyone but these two at least have someone else advocating for them.

[VOTE: Abi] aubergine

Hear me out, the holy 8 way tie

Part of me wants it to be like, Scotty/Abi + LoRab just so Jay could be correct through early assocs.

So we live in two worlds with a spread like this:
World A. It's LoRab +1 and we are in easy world. Yeet LoRab and find the person clinging to dear life.
World B. It's two wolves who have at least enough people saying they are town we don't know which direction to go. (I'm still of the opinion like Abi, Thunal, Robyn fit this mold)

Ah, Rondo jus did that.

What's going on in here?

pickle

Also, their gameplay this game seems to match as they were in severance
search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&t=25 ... =1208&ch=0

Why is it dm?

Going through the ISO now and I don't think this is it. They were pretty keen to suspect SVS early, and then put Michelle in their PoE too.

Bereft wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 2:06 pm this game is (!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

thunal's the most sane here.

and then it just drops off a cliff afterwards

i mean ig wilgy is sane but he posts almost never

I've done nothing wrong.

While busy, my entire thoughts are to advocate what I can, let y'all pick the wagons, then pick the best between the options I'm given.

I'm still of the opinion we should clear the unknowns before lylo.

LoRab was also compatible with both Michelle and SVS. I should the read SVS.

Implying any of this is easy? I've been busy as all hell.

I have no reason to nut assume you bussed Michelle. I've also been wary of you since you seemingly took me out of town reads for little reason as if to keep the PoE open. Not to mention you took me out of town reads after I had sussed and snagged a Michelle. You just started shouting about them for no rhyme or reason at the flip of a coin? I think the suspicion is valid, and the exact reason why I inquired Thunal specifically re you.

Bereft wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 8:06 pm another way to justify the poe is to realize that yeah lol, cape isnt the NK here unless mafia has literally just been checked out.

its really not that hard

I think it’s blatantly obvious mafia are in a funk, or just not participating.

SVS and Michelle could both be classified as such. Abbi is the outlier in that she’s been around, but hasn’t been a part of the pushes save for the whole ‘Michelle is bad yall’ right before EoD.

Lorab would fit exactly with that mentality of mafia throwing in the towel.

Nah I feel quite good about Abi. She's one of my most confident towns.

Why, because of interactions with Michelle?

What makes that not a bus?

We don’t talk to each other much, good doctor.

Who do you think is Koran’s partner?

I have questions/thoughts about Abigail that I'd like to detail later.

I think LoRab fitting as a piece of the puzzle that we can't quantify is important to figure out.

Like, if it's LoRab, then the game is easy we chain boop Abi > Darling ez moolah.

If it's not LoRab, then game is hard but at least we are in f5 and can explore full dichotomies of players without the "well they too fit in with the afk"

If we don't eat LoRab today, we lose the opportunity to do so if we wiff.

We gonna eat LoRab today?

I'll feel bad if SVS is town, I identified a town SVS post and then let y'all talk me out of it lol

Jimmy though SVS made sense. Jimmy trusted the Thuns. Jimmy said Michelle Scotty made less sense than SVS Michelle. [VOTE: svs] aubergine

I have Abi on the mind and am thinking about that slot as it stands.

Refer to the links in this post -- plenty of examples to work with. It's been both annoying and vindicating to be mafia so many times lately. I had one of my worst games ever in Philosophy 2 a couple years ago, but since then I have gone 5-0 as mafia (despite never being pleased to see the role card at first). Feels nice.

Wait- THATS RIGHT! I was just in a game with you in Don’t Starve, and would have absolutely gunned for you D2 if I didn’t get D1’d. I totally forgot about that game.

Ok ok I *can* read you.

You don't seem too confident here tho

This almost looks like t/w shading, especially when it was said would've put tempo against Scotty.

Let me see if Jay had any interpretation.

Like this on it's own isn't enough for me to say not compatible, and Michelle regressing on the read could be either wolf forgetting their stances or not feeling they could/should push further (considering Scotty's curse any could apply.)
