The Syndicate

Howdy.

26 pages? I better get to reading. I'll catch up sooner than later but I wouldn't say no to a summary of the game so far.

So far, I'm town reading LC and Doc and I'm almost certain Map is bad.

Complaints:
People not calling their votes since polls aren't in order anymore.

Epi said a bad word.

Second Hey! Lets get this lynch train started.

I think we should eye people who are to heavy on the role play, it could be used to avoid scumhunting/be left alive out of amusement. However, that shouldn't be the only reason to lynch someone.
I think you should have said that after the people worth eyeing had already shown themselves

^What means this, Quin?

Dah One

MP: Sig said we should lynch heavy roleplayers because roleplaying could be an excuse to avoid scumhunting and nightkills. Therefore, good first look for Sig.

MP: I'm gonna take LC's no lynch joke too seriously and vote for him. (Of course, we know LC was good.)

MP: Agree with Quin (whatever Quin meant) but Wuin doesn't use that to develop a Sig read. (Stops short of using that to develop a Quin read.)

MP: Votes Quin asking what is on his mind but reiterates need for LC to answer.

Speed: Cause math, going no lynch is okay. (Aha! But you should go no lynch late in the game in this scenario, not early. That's a ping. Speedchuck and I mindmeld on strategery so he should know better if he's town.)

Quin: I tend to tunnel Sig so no read off one post. (Fair.) Also, no lynch is a good strategy. (noooope)

Kyle: Blah blah dags (Unhelpful imo but I don't know Kyle enough to say if this is alignment indicative.

DDL: No lynch is bad! (As expected. DDL is another player that would have pinged me if he disagreed with me early on this.)

Dah One Par Two

Quin: Speedchuck is town for suggesting no lynch. (Hmm. I don't think Quin and Speed are teammates.)

Dunya: Rwar rwar MP (possible distancing. Call it a quarter ping) Also misinterprets LC's no lynch joke.

Quin: You could assume I badish read Sig

Dunya: Can't read yer mind, Quin

Kyle: Asks about Quin's meta

Dunya: Waffles on no lynch but mostly against.

Speed: Sorta walks back his initial pro no lynch stance, reiterating a potential doc/block save (this looks better) Further clarifies to totally against a no lynch. (Hmm)

Dunya/Quin: LC is good because we didn't get that he was joking.

Back to work.

Next time on "Jack finds the bad guys"

LC's big post on page 3

Work is stupid. Lazy people need to be fired.

LC: Speed is probably bad cause he's trying to hard. DDL is bad cause buddying LC (tend to disagree). Quin is maaaybe bad cause ??? DDL is extra bad for saying don't go no lynch (disagree, that's a DDLish thing to say), blah blah Quin and Dunya. Vote DDL

Sig: Blah blah null (like the rest of the Sig posts so far. Could be worse.)

Kyle: I want reads from xyz (good look)

MP: I agree with Future Jack about Quin not wanting to tunnel Sig is fair (this should not be forgotten when trying to tie or untie Quin to/from MP later but doesn't do much in isolation) blah blah I like Quin. Dunya, why is LC good?

Wilgy: And now for my best Rico impersonation! Wolves is MP and Speed.

MP: Don't be Rico

Wilgy: You aren't my supervisor (Wilgy is town. Sorry if that gets you killed again.)

MP: I disagree with the "trying too hard" case on Speed and can't even the case on DDL

Sig: Let's lynch somebody else other than Speed....LC, why do you think Speed is bad? (lolwut?)

MP: Kyle, Wilgy, Sig, Speed are town. Probably Dunya (leaves out Quin) Vote Daisy (lolwut?)

Kyle: Speed seems authentic

@Quin You are 8 FFs ahead of me.

DDL: Vote Sig for asking the cop to claim (potential distraction but this could also be legit. Blah blah normal DDL blah.

LC: Sig is supabad cause meta and not bad with Speed cause veiled accusation

Wilgy: DDL voted Sig....

Sig: LC is bad (no) and asking cop who finds baddies to claim is fair (yes) (feels like he's softclaiming cop tbh)

Speed: Too many scumreads from MP. LC is no fear contributing so he's good. (Agree on both counts)

Wilgy: Town is me, LC, Sig, Dunya. Wolves is MP, Speed. Quin and DDL are null.

Kyle: Busdrive reads, please. (Townie here)

Reads so far:
Kyle, Wilgy supatown
Would eat my hat if Speed, Sig, DDL, Quin all townies. Generally read that list as bad to good with some no w/w in the middle

Dunya: Kyle bad for reasons

Speed: Wolves are Sig, Kyle or DDL....jk DDL is good. Vote Siiiiiig. (Sig/DDL probably not W/W)

DDL: Trading cop for goon is a bad idea (disagree)

Dunya: rwar

Sure, I like dogs. I like caravans more.

What don't you like about it?

[mention]dunya[/mention]

My previous posts explain. It's a page 5/28 suspicion.

Why do you think Speed is town? What do you think of my reasons I think he is scum?

Which one are you talking about?

The first one. I'm halfway through FF6. My arm hurts.

Back to work.

Dunya: I think things that don't make sense to Jack like declaring Kyle my foe.

LC: Quin is fourth on my suspect list

Quin: DDL overreacted to Speed's fake cop claim

Sig: DDL voting for me cause I'm wanting the cop to put himself if he catches scum and also saying "I don't want to argue with you" is bullshit cause it's an accusation DDL won't defend. (Agree. Ping on DDL)

Quin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 7:51 pm jack what do you want to do today?

Process debit memos and close cases cause lazy Diane is 6 months behind her SLAs. (Aaarrrrrrrr! She should walk the plank!)

I'd also like to catch up.

Failing that, I'd like to come up with a more informed reason to vote or not vote for one of the leading candidates.

Convince me.

Shit. Hope you're bad, Quin.

We can talk at night right?

RIP Quin.

I'll be active and avenge you.

[mention]Kylemii[/mention]

Why did you vote for Quin?

Shit. I forgot you were dead. There goes my top town read.

I'll try to finish catching up tomorrow. Clocked out at 10:30 and now I need to go do dishes and make lunches.

Feel like Eloh over here.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2017 4:39 pm alright. it's business time. 1 - 5, 5 being definitely good, 1 being definitely bad, and 3 being average.

DDL: 2.5
Most of his posts are about game mechanics, he notes to MP that he was lacking baddie reads even though he'd provided none himself, voted sig for asking the cop to play recklessly proactively... just generally ping-y. Like it's mostly gut feel and maybe it's just how he is regularly but there's a definite general pingy-ness there for me. I had him with a lower score before Speedchuck's point about nosebops, i can see how the same tactic could be used as a townie to stir the pot and open up discussion

Dr. Wilgy: ???
LIterally has only posted emoticons? is this normal for Wilgy?

Dunya: 3.5
My gut feel on her is good. Her posts read authentic to me. It's not much more than gut.

Long Con: 3.25
Very thorough and generally positive influence on the thread. He'd be higher but i believe he's very well capable of smoke-screening as a baddie.

MP: 3
he has a lot of posts because of the 1 quote per post thing he did. he's doing work and making shit happen but there's not enough there to sway me either way on him.

NewTraditionist: Null
Only post is about the day 0 vote. Please speak up.

Quin: 2.75
Uneasy but nothing concrete. they say a lot without saying much. throwing out "townie points" is.... i just don't trust that at all. i don't trust that metric

sig: 3.25
actually reads kind of civ to me??? i get where people are coming from with the copclaim suggestion thing but the thing is, he's right. it's mathematically the best choice in a vacuum. other variables exist as well if the cop can reliably wait a cycle and possibly catch a second badboy then like... that's a different matter.

Spacedaisy: 2.5
She's one of the 4 players with only 1 post but she's different in that i usually expect her to be more active than this. she's been around and posting in other places here. I wouldn't vote her over it because i don't think she'd use inactivity as a baddiestrat, but i guess what i'm saying is, hey spacedaisy, come plaaaaay with us. in this space we've made.

Spankgangsta: Null
he's newer, right? come plaaaaaayyyyyyyyy. with us. come out and plaaaaaaaaay

Speedchuck: 3.5
very blunt. I think good? i disagree with some/most of the stuff he says but his posts read as a townie who is trying hard

I see that my reads on Sig and DDL aren't concurrent with the rest of the thread so i'm going to review those two as well as LC
Didn't like this post at all. A townie has no problem at least naming 1 or 2 suspects. MP couldn't pinpoint one this game as scum. Kyle went and basically said everyone was fine and dandy. Reads too much of "I am giving helpful reads and blending in" without actually offering much. Didn't want to cause any backlash from anyone. I consider that a very big mafia read. Townie's don't give two shits who they piss off because they have nothing to hide.

Agreed. I have stronger suspects than Kyle by page 3 than he does whenever he made this post. Not a great look.

Kyle said some early things I liked early. And younger/less experienced players (I get the impression he's a 11-20 year old given he's DDL's kid, right?) are less likely to take strong stances on my experience with them (Blooper, Gengar and the Realmsers DBoy and Johanna) so he gets maaaybe a bit of a pass.

We'll see where he lands in the end.

More Day 1

(Lost my spot. Starting on Page 6. Close enough)

Speed: DDL is good I agree with him and he's being straightforward, which is good DDLish

Speed: Usually no claiming here, so Sigs cop claim thing isn't so bad

Quin: Yeah, bad DDL is quieter?

LC: Sig, you didn't address my actual accusation.

Kyle: Speed, explain further

Speed: DDL is no fearing and hunting and not hiding (did I suspect DDL yesterday? I find this arguement convincing. If Speed is bad, would he say this about DDL? Ballsy if so. DDL/Speed probably not w/w.)

Dunya: I agree with Speed on DDL

Sig: Cop can't be wrong cause setup. (Doesn't address LC accusation)

*Ballsy if Speed and DDL bad together. Not particularly ballsy for scum to town read townies.

Looks like we're in column C roles. We got a watcher and doctor folks. That makes D1 make sense. And it means we still have an edge.

RIP Dunya
It could also be line 3. With the jailkeeper.
I'm not super familiar with the jailkeeper, but I was thinking it was a doctor thanks to the no-death on N1? Could jailkeeper do that?

Yes. JK is just block + doc. Or block + make untargetable.

After my shit call in meeting at 1:00, I shall rave Bob to catch up and provide less off the cuff reads.

Still on conference call. I swear I'm not ignoring this game.

You should go no lynch on your last chance to maximize chances to stop kills as well as get the best POE possible. I don't have room to complain, though, having not caught up. It's been a hell of a week, as Bob knows.

Anyway, back to catching up.

Sig: @ LC, yer mafia cause you're being sarcastic (disagree with this being an LC tell and I think I have a decent track record of figuring out LC's alignment). Blahblahblah.

Dunya: Sig and LC probably t/t

Wilgy: Kyle asking for Quin and LC to talk about each other is filler. Kyle saying "Just because I'm not throwing out accusations doesn't mean I'm not hunting. What do you want from me" is scummy.

Kyle: Here's a rainbow. On a scale of 1-5, I think everyone is literally within 1 of null. Can't read Wilgy because Wilgy is only posting smilies. Says MP is doing good things but then gives him a null 3. (Yuck. Comes across as scared of backlash. Inability to read very clearly town Wilgy is ugly, too.)

Speed: "Probably LC and Epi" (lolwut? Bizarrospeak)

Quin: @Kyle, your read of me is crap and ignores most of my content.

Speed: @Kyle, your reads are soft as fuck.

Wilgy: But seriously, Kyle is bad.

Kyle: Quin, I only had you slightly lower than null and is kinda gut over content. Don't be mad at me. (See what I mean? Scared.)

Quin: Why don't you read me based on my content then?

Sig: Reiterates that LC is bad because sarcasm and gut reads.

Dunya: Wilgy is on point. Clearly town.

This post is tops.

I could see this as the mafia. Probably DDL town. Maaaaaaybe Speed town.

Kyle: Quin, I don't think anything of your content (ffs...)

Quin: Kyle is probably town (lol)

DDL: Sig, I think you are bad because you are fishing for the cop's role (but he's not....)

Blah blah

DDL: Agree with Speed's LC analysis. Moderate town read on LC. Walking back my "Sig is bad" read a bit cause I feel like we've clashed like this before as t/t and I've been wrong. (good look) Quin is focusing on the merits of fakeclaiming so much that I think it is an excuse to not hunt. Vote Quin. (I know he was wrong but it was a fair point)

Jack: "That's DDL."

Babyofhearts: "We don't like DDL."

Jack: "Yeah. He's probably bad. That's Quin."

Baby: "We don't like Quin."

Jack: "No, we do like Quin. He's good."

Baby: "I don't like Quin. YOU LIKE QUIN."

Kyle: I'm not so sold on my (non) reads from before anymore.

Sig: Still wanna lynch LC or a non poster (bleh)

Daisy: MP pressure voting me is a literal haha joke. Fake claiming is fine. Dunya arguing against fake claiming with a rep for being best townie eva makes me suspect Dunya. DDL is suspicious because gut. (I like this post.)

Kyle: How long have you played mafia, DDL? (weak but I guess it IS still day 1)

Wilgy: I also like Daisy's most recent post

MP and Daisy: Cutely talking about being at a concert together while both phone posting in the same mafia game. Fucking adorable.

To elaborate, I don't like Kyle's weaksauce Day 1 play. I don't like his reaction to the Quin train. I don't like his reaction to MP. This makes me believe he is bad.

However, there wasn't a whole ton of pressure on Kyle except for Wilgy's firm insistence that Kyle is bad. So I don't know if I buy this as distancing for that reason. MP looks like he's trying to start something, not jump on board before he's left behind.

I was honestly just a little annoyed that I was being talked down to.
I suppose that makes sense. I’m not inspired but I’m not keen to lynch you on your first game back unless I really think you’re bad.

Unvote for now as I go back to catching up

That was a fast excuse

We have an 8-way lynch tie right now.

That is a lot of spread.

Call your votes!

Emphasis on "afraid" as scum indicative. As scum, one must be careful to not say something that gives away their alignment.

As my pal/rival Silver Lantern would say, townies have no fear.

But that's wrong. In a battle between informed minority and uninformed majority, why would recklessness be the default?

Lacking fear and being wreck less are not the same.

Though I must admit that the only reason wilgy is near the bottom is that posting style he uses. I hate it, he can hide behind it, and last time someone hid behind a posting style, it was Rico and Rico was scum. I called him out and we lynched him.

It doesn't amuse me.

Don't be offended if you're low on the list. I'm not particularly impressed with anybody. And tiers are about equal.

The Wilgy read is weak for two reasons.

1) Rico did the same in Nightvale and was town. Iirc, Speed was in that game.

2) Wilgy made himself clear.

The "hiding" thing is a fair complaint.

Speed, I have a good idea of your opinions on DDL and Kyle at this point in the game. Tell me about your opinions on them now.
