The Syndicate

no but seriously, i really did feel mongoose's entry was a little more stiff than her previous two. Do you blame me after the raucous first day I had in Gossip Girl? That was brutalizing. You got a read on dunya or nova? Not yet, but I will amend when I do. I've played with them recently, so I coul...

Yes. Go read my ISO of Nova's interactions with Mongoose.
What about Mongoose's interactions with nova?

That's a good point. I should go look at those.

To be clear, I don’t disbelieve the story one way or other. And actually, believing the story makes me feel slightly worse about llama. What I’m bothered by is llama’s “softball setup” in your words. It reads like he and mongoose conspired to get this narrative out there quickly and on their own te...

Llama iso’d everyone at mylo and came to no new conclusions. What conclusion should I have come to? I dunno, it's just odd to see a player commit to rereading everybody at MYLO and then come out of the exercise with absolutely no new reads on anybody. Where's the nerve-wracking paranoia? He didn't ...

Because mafia never post a lot.

What conclusion should I have come to?

Yeah I don’t like llama’s handling of this issue. To elaborate: the main (only) reason that I’m a suspect is my handling of the luna plan yesterday. Llama brushed over this in his ISO, giving it an arbitrary nod as “bad”, but didn’t have anything else ro say about it. He came out with a town read b...

Now I'm going out for a while. I'll respond to any further questions when I get back.

Okay, so after rereading Nova, I am more convinced than ever that the Mafia team consists of him and Mongoose. I don't believe his initial ping on me was genuine. I don't think his case on Mac was genuine either. So, I looked at his interactions with Mongoose to see if I can see them as teammates. H...

@thellama73 one more question about Mongoose. I see her hesitance giving bad reads as a product of her not being used to reads day 1 in a game (it used to not be as prevalent as it is now) and her hesitance to condemn people. My experience with her in discord is she would rather not do anything to ...

How do you explain my behavior from end of Day 2/start of Night 2? I don't think it requires much explanation. You read like a civilian sincerely baddie hunting, which is what I would expect. I’d appreciate an explanation. I don't understand what you are asking. What part of your behavior do you be...

I don't have much to add to my earlier ISO of Mac's case against NOva, because the bulk of his posts have been those that attack Nova. Nobody knows who or what to lynch. So let's lynch MP. Easy done. I actually like this move. It's what I always argue for (The Apollo Doctrine) and arguing for it has...

No. It's a consideration thta has to be weighed against those points, but like Belshazzar, it's been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

The number 2 point in favor of Mongoose is pretty NAI. I mean you can be bad and busy, the same as you can be good and busy. Being truthful about your rl is pretty standard. I know I've been both before. Same about the no-lynch vote. Her saying the truth there has no bearing on her alignment especi...

Thoughts on Sloonei: Sweet Dee is sick of town’s losing streak too. We’re gonna correct it this game, gang. Since nobody’s around to yell any louder than me right now, I’m gonna put myself in charge. Votes are changeable, as they always are. There is no reason not to put a vote on the poll as soon a...

Okay, here are my thoughts on Mongoose. First, some specific posts that stood out to me. no but seriously, i really did feel mongoose's entry was a little more stiff than her previous two. Do you blame me after the raucous first day I had in Gossip Girl? That was brutalizing. You got a read on dunya...

tl;dr version of those two text walls: Llama and Mongoose played Day 2 almost identically. They've both expressed vague soft sort-of-suspicion of each other but not for a second has either one seriously pursued the other as a candidate. Their interactions have been minimal, the most noteworthy exch...

Nova made up a bs read of me on page fucking one and not once has he doubted it. I mean get real. Civilians don't do that. Fuck I wish dunya was still here. This is the main thing that wories me about Nova as well. I don't believe his claim that he suspects me for having a consistent read on him. T...

Oh and another note: while mac, nova, and I were tearing each other apart in the immediate aftermath of the lynch, llama was just kind of... hanging out in the background. After pledging to reread us all and work out his new reads. @thellama73 why didn't you take a more aggressive approach in that ...

Cool, detached, rational Sloonei transforms into panicky, sarcastic, NO-Uing Sloonei in the space of one page. Surprisingly, I think this makes him look like a civ. I actually agree with Mac's earlier assessment that the mafia tend to remain cooler under fire than a falsely accused civilian. Where ...

Disregard above post. I hadn't read the most recent posts yet.

So you're off Nova now?

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 7:30 pm @Mongoose @thellama73 which one of you is bad?

I am not. Scouts honor.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 7:30 pm Mac and nova feel like they make the most sense independently as suspects, but there's a <1% chance that they're partners.

I'm starting to tinfoil that Mac has been sowing choas like a mastermind this whole time, but I don't know if I think him competent enough to pull it off.

You got Mongoose to say "hell". Never a good sign.

I'm just gonna play the most bland ass vanilla games for the rest of my life because any time I do anything remotely out of the ordinary people will go to incredible lengths to assign the most ludicrous mafia motivation to whatever I've done. Tomorrow we should vote for Mongoose. Why? Because she's...

RIP Colin. I have to reevaluate. Luna and Juliets are for sure cleared now, and the fact that I was wrong about both Luna and COlin has me worried. I'm going to go back and do a full reread of everyone before Day 3. That means there are two mafia members hiding between Nova, Sloonei, Mac, and Mongoo...

Poll: Nova is unruffled by Mac Attack. Is this because a) Mac is only one person and Nova, confident in his own innocence, does not feel in serious danger? b) Nova is a cocky baddie aware that it only takes a couple of mislynches for his team to win, and is celebrating early? C) They’re both bad an...

I must say, this has turned into a rather interesting day. Lots of heated discussion. I'm enjoying that. I still think Luna is the droids you're looking for though.

Also since when are cases important. He's also remained snarky throughout all my tunneling. Civs get mad when they get tunneled. He's just begrudgingly admiring me while other people actually do the defending. I would say it depends on the civ, but this is probably the best point you've made in fav...

No, I said the rest of the posts following those are mostly "Nova is bad".

Since Mac is being ornery, I'll post Mac's case on Nova. Let's lynch Nova and Colin then. I hate them both as humans so this at the very least makes the experience of playing Mafia more enjoyable. I've decided I think nova is Mafia. His persistent wavering scum read isn't coming with any actual atte...

Mac, I asked for a summary of your Nova case a while back. Care to provide one?

Lynch all liars? :grin: Epignosis claims he lies all the time as a civilian, but he is weird. I generally assume that if someone is caught in a lie, they are bad. The question I'm asking myself now is whether you legitimately expected me to forget a suspicion I had less than 72 hours ago. :ponder: ...

Does anyone think it's likely that Luna never misunderstood the matrix, but is mafia and made up the fake claim and pretended not to understand it to make her claim more believable? Personally, I would bet against this possibility. My theory is she legitimately misunderstood the matrix, but fake ro...

So you think Luna claiming she had nothing to lose was a lie? I don't think that. I think she legitimately believed she was about to be lynched and threw out a claim as a last ditch effort to save herself. If she is mafia, then she has nothing to fear from a nightkill, like a civ roleclaimer would.

Not necessarily. It a negative ping though.

That seems like... an odd thing to be pinged by. But okay.
