The Syndicate

looking at Roxy 's 10 posts for anything intriguing... NOTE: there are few points in this post where i pose a question for Roxy. a neutral observer might think they know the answer she'll provide, and if so i ask that you DO NOT say it. at least not until after she has responded. that has happened a...

i really hope there's a decent influx of activity in this game tonight before i go to sleep. i have a decent method in mind to re-energize it and get a new discussion rolling, but i need a good number of people here to react in real-time. if any players happen by the thread any time soon, please let...

generally i find myself town reading most of the more active players in the game. and that has me especially wary of the pool of players below the median line in post count. i need to look more thoroughly over the content of fingersplints and Roxy. and that's ignoring the low-volume unreadables like...

i'll ask you for a focused take, DDL. what do you think of Turnip Head? I think he's town. His day 1 vote seemed to me like a sort of gambit. A way to get reactions from someone he was mildly suspicious of. The same thing I was doing, but in a more intense way. Truth be told, nothing says "sta...

Even by my standards, I'm posting a lot. It's all because of a twofold desire to have most posts in a game ever and to beat you, Jay. Just sayin'. I'm starting to believe the number of posts in a game can be a big influence on how much individual players post. I'm one of the most active players in ...

i made a big list here of rankings by genre. my favorite new-era games are Pillars of Eternity (which is based on old-era games, heh) and the Mass Effect series.

i should really be doing my Day 2 ISOs (yeah everyone, i literally do that every day). mafia homework is such an encumbrance sometimes.

Seriously, I'm going back to work on my R List now.

there you go. swat away those distractions and get busy with the important things in life.

yeah i know MP. i'm not used to having such stiff competition for most posts.

yeah i think it'll have to wait. not enough test subjects.

i want at least six or seven participants. who is online and ready to talk RIGHT NOW? this exercise will probably take 10-20 minutes.

i am tempted to pull the gun-to-head reads exercise if there are enough people present.

I guess I'm just tired? Between having to explain myself to Epi about 10 times (and to other people about 50), spending a few consecutive days thinking about barely anything other than this game, and then going through a lot of effort just to lynch a townie, I think I just burned my fuel. That day ...

i've just discovered that it's startlingly easy to say "kitchen" over and over really fast

TH's point is an interesting one. since MP read Epignosis as mafia (so did i), then the following question must be asked: did Elo join her mafia mate and spouse in a public crucifixion of MP? is that how baddies behave as a team on many Day 1s over the course of mafia history? maybe. i don't know t...

Like, even right now, I had a few instances where I kept wondering, why are TH and Jay trying to get the thread away from Elo, and I have to keep myself from developing fictional baddie teams of three or four even though I know from the rational side of me that it's completely absurd to say I know ...

MP: do you think a fair comparison can be drawn between these two things: Epignosis goes hard after MP, thus drawing emotional responses from MP which increase people's suspicion of MP MP goes hard after Elo, thus drawing emotional responses from Elo which increase people's suspicion of Elo No, I d...

Jay, I'm thinking on my reads, and I'm curious: What do you think of sanmateo? He is my biggest town read last I updated the list, but wanted to hear what you think. Since he hosted #84, I didn't get to play with him at RYM recently. he's a tougher read than i would like an RYM-mate to be. on RYM i...

MP: do you think a fair comparison can be drawn between these two things:

I suppose that's possible, but she made inconsistencies before I interrogated her at all, such as voting for someone she was leaning civ on with no explanation. primarily her perspective of Golden, i assume? that has been a point of suspicion for me too. however, i don't think it's entirely impossi...

who has your attention for the wrong reasons, TH? I think we would be worse off if I shared that at this time, Jay. that would be consistent with the styles i've seen in this unique rule environment so far. i don't suspect you really so i won't press the issue now. but the sand is dribbling down th...

Regardless, I can admit that I'm having trouble understanding Elo's POV completely if she's a civilian. If she is, then colored me SURPRISED AS A FUCKING RAINBOW because I think that occam's razor suggests that she can't keep things straight because she is fabricating them. Now, to go back to worki...

i'm not nearly as into prog rock and related genres as i once was, but i like to fit in. Camel is probably my favorite true prog band, so here's my favorite Camel track:

and, well... the song isn't even prog. but the band used to be! so neat!

Hey Vompatti : since it's completely impossible to get any read on you due to Dom's absence, we need to find a way to change that. i know the thread to this point has inflated quite a lot and it's a lot to ask you to read 1300+ posts to get up to date. if you mean to do that, then by all means do so...

Bubbles vote was fishy af, felt like she isn't even trying. "hey I'm a noob and I dont know how to play so imma drop a vote on someone everyone is suspecting and check out for the phase cya". A lot of her posts feel like honest inexperience though. i find myself wondering about your effor...

i think you may have a problem, MP.

Anyway, if anyone has any other questions on my Elo beliefs, I can clear up any questions, but if you dig through my posts searching the word "Elo", you should find where I've expressed my opinion multiple times. It's getting to the point where I believe I'm posting TOO much and people ar...

i hope sanmateo pays the thread a visit soon, because i want to know what he thinks of Elohcin's responses to my beefs -- even if she didn't respond directly to his own beefs.

welp.

get well, BR.

1. IMO keeping an eye on someone is just something I see that isn't the norm for that person it doesn't make me suspect them it just makes me want to watch that person and see if there is more to what I noticed. Suspecting a person is when I have found something worth voting for . 2. Just so you kn...

So G-Man used real people words on Day 0, but not on Day 1 or 2. Any theories? I want to let the new players to know that rarely are any Night actions used before Night 1... obviously this game or any game could be different. is there any precedent you call recall for unique role stipulations trigg...

for much of Day 1 i gave positive reads of Black Rock. and now as i re-examine the posts, i am not sure why. her second post (first one quoted below) impressed me, but at this point i don't feel that way anymore mostly because there is much more content to judge and it doesn't hold up. some beefs: J...

is it typical of Roxy to have so few posts compared with the rest of the players?

birdwithteeth11 wrote:How many games has TinyBubbles played so far? I know it's been stated she's fairly new but idk how new she is.

i think someone else said this is her second mafia game ever.

Ok I have a bit of time so if anyone wants to ask me anythingg now is the time or if there are any questions I did answer please point them out. i have a few: 1.) how do you personally differentiate "keeping an eye on a player" and "suspecting a player"? 2.) who are your top sus...

Really? I guess I am reading her different then you guys. I feel like she is at least trying to address the suspicions this phase i think she has done better in that regard. she finally addressed all of the beefs i had stated in Day/Night 1. but for a while she only seemed interesting in addressing...

fingersplints wrote:I found her to be more dismissive about accusations

i think this statement could apply to her pretty effectively in this game.

Ooh sneaky, maybe I'll have to recant my opinion about you being a good guy :p I'm not milking the noob card I just skim a lot and miss things, it's as lame as that >_> Anyway, I'm just gonna go ahead and Vote Elohcin . I'm assuming you're not a lying dirty wolf in sheep's clothing misleading me; a...

One new thing that troubles me about Bass is that despite being Day 1's #2 vote recipient and near-lynchee, his only visit on Day 2 so far has not been very useful for reading him. Can you please show me where I said I was suspected MP? I said I wanted to keep an eye on him because I felt like he wa...

hey Sloonei, tell me what you think about all the RYMers.

MovingPictures07 wrote:That said, I have a take home final, my replication, a different paper, and some other things to work on, so those are all reasons that I will almost certainly hardly be around at all tomorrow.

Prove it. Show me your personal schedule pad. And your syllabus.

when y'all were spectating Turnip Head in champs game #3, did your brains melt when 300 different players all claimed cop?

How do votes normally play out on this site? Is it typical for some players to cast votes super early in the day, as we've seen a bit of today? Or do people usually wait for the end of the phase before using it? On RYM we usually have unlimited vote changes and everyone's voting and unvoting every ...

i've never played in more than one mafia game at once. i dunno how y'all can deal with 2 or 3

birdwithteeth11 wrote:That's 30 hours of other conversations and ideas that could come up that you can't take advantage of to make an informed vote.

indeed. and how do you feel about MP (a definite non-noob being the site founder) placing his vote already?

nevermind the first question, fingersplints. you just answered it.

Yes. I feel like it is more similar to her most recent baddie game I can remember. so you mean her behavior in this game has been comparable to her civilian game in Roger Rabbit and also comparable to her baddie game in something else? sorry to double-request clarification, it's necessary since i d...

fingersplints wrote:Maybe I am a little bit clouded by my last experience with a civvie Elo in Roger Rabbit.

have you noticed similarities between the Elo of this game and the Elo of that game?
