The Syndicate

We all knew this was a bastard game when we signed up though. Thanks for host Urist.

I personally think Mafia would have lost had Lime Coke stayed in his normal town range of being upset, but uhm... Also, LyLo only 1 townie needs to fuck up in order to lose...

IDK, I'm torn on the result, but it's clear there was no way to replace him or modkill him, and have the game continue.

Well then

I'd still be up for speedrunning the no voters.

Neat.
The majority requirement isn't a challenge, people on TS are used to leaving things undecided till EoD, which isn't compatible with a majority requirement.
They are used to an USA based timezone, though.

I think that plus the majority req is what is weighing.

Yeah... So make sure Maj exists pRe-eod

Now I'm picturing Nanook yelling at Gavial in the mason chat.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME I feel for you bro, we will also yell at Gavial with you in spirit.
I wouldn't have left my vote on a mason partner lol

Now back to sleep i go

I don't think the claim is alignment indicative, but no point in arguing, either he dies or we run down the list of non-gavial voters.

@Dolby
@falcon45ca
@fingersplints
@sig
@sprityo
@TonyStarkPrime

This probably contains most / all of the mafia.

The sleeper has awaken. If Gavial doesn't go over, we kill everyone who voted on a vanity wagon, no questions asked.

Or am I just VT baiting a kill?
You chose scum!

I can't wait for you to not die in the night based on this fake claim.

Also, isn't it optimal this game to just claim PR/VT and force everyone from the group more likely to contain mafia to go over the post limit, getting themselves modkilled?

I think I'd actually go as far as saying Falcon and TSP have the same alignment.

BTW, if Falcon is mafia, TSP is always his partner.

Unpalatable "chop the Syndicate regulars/OG" player salad. You might as well throw my name on that list too. Why didn't you? Is it because you think I'm useful as a mischop later for my low-posting tendencies? Or do you feel I'm not worth mentioning/considering for that same reason?

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 1:38 pm G-man's entry, while constructive, felt lacking in conclusion. Falcon maxing out posts felt bad, but what of those posts? What was drawn from them.

Gaviel's entry was far weaker than normal, but I'm unsure if that's AI. Gav went absolutely nuts in Akemi as scum. I've also seen him go absolutely nuts as town. Good shit buddy, I can't read you :')

G-Man, Sprit, DDL are all good options for D1 I feel. Everyone else gets town vibes except LC and Gav as I defined earlier.
My entry had a solid conclusion- I went to sleep.

I am a good D1 or D2 mischop option, but only if my demise can inject some information into the thread. I'm not sure I'm at that point yet for D1.

G-Man wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 11:09 am Upon reading the game thread, I am not impressed with the game state so far. There seems to be a fair amount of know-it-all-ism, leading to early assumptions and flimsy towncore construction. Either that or I'm still just a horrible D1 player and most of you are just fishing.

Dolby seemed constructive in his efforts. There's too much one-off posting going around, but he isn't afraid to multi-quote and build.

Falcon has almost maxed out his post count for the phase. I don't like that.

I will never be able to refer to Lime Coke as LC. Sorry.

It is good to see DDL back in the arena.
Like this post.
I like that you like me, because I generally like you too, but I haven't decided yet if we should make friendship bracelets and be each others' trust-fall partners this game.

Who cares about a player's history, they are on the list you're not because I think they are higher probability mafia.

Also, Gav saying he's going to game throw is both hilarious and pathetic given recent events. That many people in this game witnessed first hand. I won't comment further as I expect he will fix his position.

I think it's between sprityo, DDL and TSP for me.

Sprityo might be the best D1 though based on game state.

Gavial wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 1:12 pm I’m gonna throw

You have two votes on you, and haven't been misselim'd in a while. This is disingenuous.

Oh it's real all right.

Why is it bad?
"I'm just here with my normal pills ready to win"

"win...with what faction though! Aha!"

that ain't something to sus
It's not.

As far as intro's go, Sprityo has arguably the worst one in the game so far. Maf tend to make those kind of intro posts all the time...they pop in quick, "ya I'm ready to go, <insert joke gif>" then skedaddle.

It's not a smoking gun by any means, but I will not be shocked at all if Sprityo flips Maf
I don't think this is true, do you have data supporting this?
I literally just caught a Maf doing this in a game on CDC. I think it was their 2nd post of the game.

Do I have a spreadsheet w/ all the data? No. Can I point to specific examples of Maf doing it? Yes

Anecdotal evidence is not a good way to draw scientific conclusions.

A contrarian I see. Toss him in the gulag.

You don't need to be a contrarian to end up in the gulag, you could also end up there for a lack of enthusiasm or perceived lack of enthusiasm towards revolutionary ideas.

Low-key think DDL is Wolfy and Falcon is town, but not changing my vote for now.

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 5:57 pm Asking as I legitimately don't know how to read that of LC.

I think you have to read him from the perspective of certain actions are only permissible as mafia. I haven't kept a list, but generally it's easy reads if you keep track.

Does the frustration being genuine make him Scum or Town?

Town

The game was so tame, so the salt is out of left field

I can't tell if Lime Coke is trying to simulate frustration or if he's actually going to the moon.

Contingent on you being town, I agree.

Agreed. NAA going for an early pocket attempt via TR on Nook?
Having Nanook in my pocket will be a great asset this game.

TBH, this reeks of trying way too hard to find something to say... And it falls flat.

It becomes alignment indicative because sometimes it's inevitable for someone to get acquainted with the rules while in Mafia chat / sometimes they're required to know about certain mechanics to use their factional abilities effectively.
That would only be the case in a non-normal game, but since this game is normal, it doesn't apply.
"Normal"
Are you implying this game isn't normal ???
Whoever correctly guesses my "Normal" role can have my vote for the Socky's lifetime achievement award.

@falcon45ca You can see here that I have spewed myself town, therefore there is good reason for Nanook to come, sit in my pocket.
