The Syndicate

Wow, there's a lot of posts.

I'm much better at skimming vocaroos. I really can't browse these written posts, so I'm just gonna read the last page and go from there. Sound good?

Hello lapluie, I am Marmot.

Sloonei, could you tell me your mafia experience pls.
I uh got my start playing on RYM about 7 years ago, then migrated here in 2015, taking up permanent residence with the death of RYM's OT board. Two years ago I was a finalist in MafiaUniverse's Tournament of Champions and I've been a part of many games here on the Syndicate.

I knew all of this. I just want the class to hear it.

Right? This is the main reason I'm not moved by any case on Quin.

The worst I can say about him is that he's tone pinging me a little earlier than usual. The accusations of genuinely trying to read people on Day 0? Weak.

I'm actually okay with Mac (old buddy old pal let me pocket you eh?) doing it cause I think it fits Mac's style but I don't see where Jimmy is coming from. I guess Jimmy is a at-the-wall thrower in the vein of Sloonei and MP but with his self imposed restriction, the weak case on Quin becomes a large part of Jimmy's content and paints him in a bad light. Hard to not be disappointed but the important part is if the root cause of Jimmy's overall posting being disappointing because he's not giving the 110% I'm used to or because he's bad.

Are you the sort of person who can be moved by a case on anyone (not just Quin)?

I expect every post to contain a read. I expect every sentence to contain a read. I expect every letter to contain a read. I expect every phoneme to contain a read. I expect unique reads to be generated by the trillions during each minuscule neural interaction within the brain.

I don't really ask for that much.

I'll write you a letter. I hope you read it. It's full of more letters and more reads.

I am.
I can be moved by cases. I'm a sucker for lengthy cases on people I don't have a firm read on. Hence previous game musings about my failings in distinguishing bad townie play from actual baddies.

I like being contrary, though. Hence, sticking my neck out to fight Day 0/Day 1 cases against people, sometimes leading to accusations of buddying. (This is separate from accusations of buddying Mac. That's just cause I was very amused by Mac in a previous game and I want us to be pals. And also because I want to take advantage of his rep for finding scum on gut and assist with his seeming inability to pursue those gut reads to their logical conclusions. Low sample size may be causing me to misevaluate both skills in Mac. We'll see.)

@Newplayers, feel free to ignore my selfcentered musings. I do this a lot. I'm town so you don't need to try to figure out what I'm talking about.

So you like a Day 1 where we reach T-2 hours and 5 different players have 2-3 votes? Mmmmm, chaos.

Why are you encouraging people to ignore what you're talking about?

God, no. I hate when there's a consensus but it isn't reflected in the votes and then somebody else is lynched with a case starting at hour 46 cause maybe I'm not around or not caught up.

Cause I'm self conscious.

You're beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Let the newplayers look at your posts on full display! Let them dissect, inspect, and inflect on their true meaning. Let them discuss for pages and pages on the insightful musings you've graced this game with. Let them read!

Yes.

I'm voting Marmot because I see no reason not to.
I'm voting him because he voted for a newbie.

Why should I NOT vote for Marmot?

To expand upon that, there have been a lot of votes-for-no-stated-reason in this topic. But when I post one, I immediately get FOUR 'why?'s. I want an explanation as to why my vote is so danged baffling.

You're voting for me for... Voting for nova for the same reason?

Elohcin wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 3:07 pm Everyone is being quite crazy with their votes right now. I don't like this lack of seriousness in the beginning of big games like this. Everyone thinks they can just play around and vote here or there and it won't matter much. Dudes (and dudettes), if we try hard enough, we might be able to get a scum on Day 1.

I believe that unpredictability is fun. I also believe it can lead to some scrumptious reactions, and maybe even unearth some malicious intent.

But I'm not very good at spotting such behaviors, so I understand your frustration.

Who are the other suspects you're most strongly considering?
Call it a mix of initial tone/powerlevel and overreaction to the picking of nits.

I have no reason to think Doc or Eloh are good. (Eloh's standard entrance of "you guys already posted X pages?!? is expected regardless of alignment.) Marmot, Sig go here, too.

Kyle I've talked about my tone read and Mac, who I believe to be good and have good instincts, is voting there. Mac's actual case is unconvincing but I've seen Mac make unconvincing cases and been right on the money.

LC is being voted for by Nutella, who I think is good but I'm unmoved by her case. Jimmy voting here doesn't do much for me and wouldn't even if I was certain he was bad. He's distancing Jack faker outer master. As for LC himself, he's with Eloh and Doc, no reason to think he's good yet. But actually? I don't want to vote for him. I'm decent at reading LC and will be more likely to figure him out later.

Tony falls into the same category as LC. I'll likely figure him out later so why lynch him Day 1?

Basically, take list. Remove people I haven't played with or who haven't checked in and people I have reason to believe are town and two people I think I'll get later.

That leaves a handful of people I know that I don't think much about and Kyle with a bad tone read.

I'd say I've convinced myself to vote Kyle at this point but since I started with the premise of "allow Sloonei to weigh in on my suspect pool" I think I'll do just that.

I like your strategy Jack. I support the notion of PoE, of where you narrow your suspect pool by removing non-suspects. Problem is, that tends to leave me behind as a "well, I have no reason to think he's good". Not unlike what speedchuck said.

So uh, could you kindly remove me from your list.

What I'm digging at is this: even though you've been cruelly victimized by this particular strategy of playing mafia, do you think it is a successful tool that can be used to hunt the scummy players and/or would you use it yourself?

Interesting. Why me?

I've been at a convention all weekend. There are 20 something more pages than before. I'm not catching up. I'm just going to continue to prove that Sloonei is bad and is distancing from Mac. Hazelnut is also bad.

[mention]DrWilgy[/mention], I want to hear how Sloonei is distancing from Mac. Despite listing them both as mafia, and saying they're distancing (or Sloonei is) I don't see any connections you've drawn between the two.

I also want to hear why nutella is bad.

I'm in. I had a hard time understanding, putting in, or getting much out of Day 2. I think a refocusing is in order.

Also, Long Con using the word "woke" the way he did just put him on the scum team.
