The Syndicate

I nominate the dirty bird who consistently ranks at the top of the Syndicate's win record: @falcon45ca

I think I'll just have to be good to myself and decline, as fun as Champs is. I'm not on top of my game in the slightest, there are better 'Syndicate' reps available, and most of all I'm going to be hella busy in June onwards.

I hereby nominate @Master Radishes. Appreciate the nom. I'll not officially accept nor decline yet, but I'm likely leaning towards 'decline' due to personal reasons and the plethora of more-than-suitable other nominees. For example... I hereby nominate @nutella for the great revenge tour. ehhh prol...

All good choices. Unambiguously good, even.

I think Scotty is a particularly good rep as someone who hasn't gone before (I think?) and who embodies all that is good about the Syndicate.

Also: there is pretty much no such thing as 'balance' in a role madness game. They are, by definition, swingy. So like...you can criticise individual mechanics if you want, but you can do that with pretty much every big setup as well. IMO as long as at the end of the day the overall game gave all te...

I see all above discussion and here's my counterargument: GoC is meant to celebrate the previous year's games, and it's meant to be fun and competitive.. This one did all of that. The roles and events creatively pulled form 2023's list of games, none of the mechanics were broken or bastard, and ther...

I'm not staying up to watch myself die. As far as a legacy goes: -We're trying to use mechanics to narrow the PoE and we don't even know the mechanics. This is bad. -We're focusing on vote counts and partner associations when a wolf only had one single partner for a pivotal part of the game when eve...

Look, in theory (a very questionable theory) we should just shoot into the East and have a 50% chance of hitting correctly.

But if we hit a town (and I can't help but feel we will) then the survivors need to abandon the idea of wolves only being there.

So I just did a quick ISO of MR and I don’t like what I see. They mention the members of Arbitr a lot , he always seems to have some level or suspicion of Falcon and lemon, even voting for them multiple times yet anytime another wagon seemed viable he jumped and always seemed to cast shadow of doub...

I have a feeling you’ll say the same about mine

What’re the chance Nutella accidentally shot mafia and decided to roll with it and play that up I don't believe she'd accidentally shoot her partner, for sure I mean, I was in a game once where my partner purposely vigged me and then slanked until endgame off the towncred and the players rioted and...

I'm going rogue and listlessly isoing outside the 'Core Four'.

I didn't care at first, checked later and most were gone, and chose the Devil because it sounds badass.

Has everyone picked a Tarot card by this point?

I suppose it's also ridiculous to feel so doomer when it's presumably 1 v 1 v 7.

But there are multiple deaths pretty much every round, and I suspect it will happen again here, so those numbers could drop quickly.

Like this is somewhat skewed by where I've placed attention, but if I had to make a readslist without considering East/West I think all 5 of the Westers would be in my bottom 5.

Which is ridiculous.

What I'm struggling with is the fact that in a vacuum I'd much rather vote Delta or Sig or even TSP or Epi, but I'm instead supposed to focus on a PoE of 3 others whom I largely find nothing wrong with. SO, if we expand the PoE, who and why? Delta I kinda get. Sig I still think is town in spite of ...

Why would I need to preface any statement? Am I not allowed to think 'ugh someone is going to find this questionable' and still post my thoughts anyway? You are allowed and I'd encourage it, but my question is if you think 'ugh someone is going to find this questionable' why not say it before hand?...

What would I hate more:

voting in the East and losing because we followed an unsubstantiated belief about mech despite my misgivings

or

voting in the West and losing because obviously it was evenly split wolf teams and I just haaad to go renegade

Like the four of us can't even find a consensus amongst ourselves. This is silly.

Are we sure there aren't more wolves from the West? Like from a design standpoint I see the symmetry but it does feel a bit of an advantage to town to have things so evenly split for situations exactly like this. It creates an artifical PoE. I think we have abit of time before we really need to ask...

I feel bad voting for MR, he's such a good bloke.

Good night.

Conclusion: This was a big waste of time.

Probably could've predicted that. I'd glanced at a couple myself and got nothing.

I volunteer to go first so that I don't have the responsibility of solving and yet my legacy will be 66% correct.

Basically I don't think we actually do have the numbers to run it out, and I feel sorry for the last wolves if that's the case because they're trapped in a tight PoE artificially.

But if that's what we're doing then so be it.

Also multiple kills a Night will mess with things.

I'm not counting Davos. If we lose to a sockpuppet that doesn't even post I don't care.

So that's 2 of the 4 Easterners saying to do it, which means the scum must be me and nutella. Except I know that's impossible, so at least one of you is backing yourself into a corner, or the premise is wrong. Hopefully it's just the former and the town of TSP, Delta, and Sig who are paying close at...

Like maybe wolf teams could choose how to split and at least one thought about stacking one side. That would make for a horrible game. Imagine if one thread had ended up with all 8 wolves. It'd be funny, yeah. But if this were the scenario I imagine the choice would be 'minimum 1, otherwise your ch...

Nutella feels town. I don't have any good reason to say this definitively, she just feels it. That's not good enough for this stage of the game but it's the thought that is at the forefront of my mind. Ok I'm pretty sure there ARE solid reasons to definitely say she's towny, but maybe that's just m...

imo it would just be weird for Nutella to use the logic that Brad must've included a partner in his townlist as an argument for voting me if she's Brad's partner, or a wolf at all, because it would automatically single her out as soon as I flip town Isnt that just an unnecessary spotlight? Any thou...

I don't like how easily she townread me either if I'm honest. In our previous games she pokes and prods me pretty hard. But then again I kind of townread her early this game myself and allowed myself to just accept that read instead of making a tinfoil hat. Maybe we're just at that stage of our mafi...

I'm having an existential crisis about nutella's alignment right now.

But then again fucking multiball.

I don't know.

And I don't really feel like Nutella has been coasting? She's been fairly active in giving her thoughts this whole game, and that's mainly why I townread her. Going back to this, I'm outposting her lmao. Not only should that probably townclear me, it definitely means she's coasting. Have you seen h...

Like I thought it was taken for granted I found Alison wolfy, so I didn't need to say that bit? I liked both options and as best I recall the main impetus for the vote was therefore propping up a counterwagon because Brad was the likelier choice but keeping multiple options can sometimes lead to mo...
