Votes are changeable, right?

There are games on syndicate where you can not change votes?

Not so much anymore, but there was a time where that was the standard.

One of Alison - Vulgard is scum probably, do not like the syn votes on page 3.

Why are Alison and Vulgard not the same alignment?

They can easily be together, but there's a possibility of a confirmed mafia is higher.

I checked again and they have done nothing within their five posts. These posts were all spent on talking about themselves, their first post was a comment about the OP (which is not really game-related and is unlikely to out you as mafia when you talk about it as mafia), and they come across as trying to seem relaxed in the thread. Which is probably why they are spending so much time on "settling in."

I liked nutella's start, but I have some respect for their wolfgame, so I'm not going to pull an Alison and make a weakly supported solid townread on her out of nowhere.

what kind of opportunistic hogwash is this

Of course my posts are going to talk about me when I was responding to someone specifically asking me about my play style. Bro what

I agree, Syn didn't drive the conversation to be about himself, he was responding to questions and suspicions about him.

Come to think of it, you are a lot more memorable in this game than the last one. Are you more active in this one?

[Long Con]

This was the game where LC self-voted for no reason and that confused me so much that I let him win at F3.

Just want to mention that it was not for no reason. It was to "try to save" the other villager who was one vote ahead of me. Admittedly, the stated reason of "he's worth more than I am alive" is questionable, but the action of giving away an elimination like that is so unwolfy, which is the position I successfully took the risk for.

Why?

felt like it. Vul could be sheeping Alison, cause his progression on Syn is not much. He can be scum.

But Allison's reasons for scum reading Syn is not solid enough and she kinda have similar reads and reasons for me and as from the thread reply probably someone else which i haven't read myself yet, just feels a bit off.

So one of them can easily be scum, could be together, could be not.

I don't think two wolves would try and tag-team a case on D1, and have such a wide divide on the logic behind it too. Alison's case has "makes sense" value behind it, while Vulgard's simply fell apart at the slightest breeze. If they wanted to establish a mis-elim as partners, Vulgard would have surely come up with something better than what he did.

[Poison]

actually my first real read is that vulgard is fishing 'cause look at their read on alison too

you're gonna need more to catch alison as a wolf she's a goat

What do you mean by "fishing?"
And I don't know that. I haven't seen Alison play at all.

"i don't like this entrance" "i don't like that entrance" "i don't like that read" when we're at rvs stage

it looks like you're trying to form reads and give an appearance of wolf hunting when a) it ain't really the time for it and b) your suspicions are of little substance atm

Yes, I am. I didn't feel like slanking, I think it's because I've gone over a week without a mafia game. Plus some old friends are playing, so that's exciting.

I don't think mafia would try to do a miselim stunt at the start of the day tbh, but the progression was bad indeed.

Sorry, I should have said "other villager" in quotes. I was scum. Sloonei had to choose between Tony and I, and he chose wrong. There were other variables as well, some sketchiness surrounding Tony's claimed role, which I capitalized on.

Also, it's Syn's first game on the site, so it would be especially predatory for them to dive on together. Not that they really need to care about that; that's an old Syndicater perspective.

How about "How many of the people outside of the thread are Mafia?"

This questions begs another: how many people in the thread are mafia?

And then we get to the true crux of the game: How many people in the game are mafia?

And then we get to the true crux of the game: How many people in the game are mafia?

In a 16-player game we're either looking at 12 vs 4 or 13 vs 3, depending on roles and mechanics.
In a 12-player game, it's 9 vs 3 or or 10 vs 2. This is functionally a 12-player game right now, but that's not the complete picture.
I cannot begin to speculate about what the 4 out-of-thread players are doing in this game, but I doubt we're currently in an 8vs4 threadstate to start the game.
10 vs 2 in-thread and 2 vs 2 out-thread also feels unlikely.

My best guess would be 10 vs 2 / 3 vs 1, or 9 vs 3 / 3 vs 1 or 4 vs 0. Which is to say I will assume we have either 2 or 3 Mafia in this thread with us right now.

It's also possible that the entire out-of-thread crew is unaligned with either faction.

[Marmot]

@nutella you were one of the out-of-thread demi-gods in Assassin's Creed. What can you tell us about that experience?

I don't remember a ton of detail but we had a discord, we could read the thread and discuss our thoughts, and we had daily choices on smaller or larger ways to influence the game (such as giving a certain player a power buff or something) and then a few phases in we entered the thread for a day and helped town solve the game and then left again

Could you guys do anything with the lynch or anything destructive from there?

I really don't remember sorry lol

You guys gave me a golden apple or something and I forget what that did, but it was something positive, and then I think you could vote on the day you were in the thread?

This was the game where LC self-voted for no reason and that confused me so much that I let him win at F3.

I'mma follow LC on the self-vote.

It depends. If you're the mafia, you probably want to kill me. If you're an innocent pure townie like me, you self-vote and hope your teammates will carry you.

Which one are you?

[TonyStarkPrime]

People have squinted at me for saying that I have "genuine" reads in the past, as if every read I share as town is supposed to be genuine.

So with that in mind, here's a read of unknown sincerity:

Vulgard is mafia.

I can see it. Pre-slank excuse, mech chatter, and bland greetings.

I could see Vulgard being scum but mostly because their posting looks kinda carefully controlled to be as inoffensive and trigger people's scumdars as little as possible. I had a confused reaction to that mechanic as well so I don't blame them for the mech chatter, and I think pre-slank excuses are NAI. There are very few people (in general, but especially on the Syndicate) who roll scum and then go "alright! I'm going to go and give an excuse so I can coast through D1!" Not only is this just uncommon behavior, it's also suboptimal - you allow yourself to engage in some anti-town behavior, but in exchange you lose a lot of ability to gain trust and manipulate the town. Syndicate is not a site that is afraid to exe slankers and you will win a lot more games by powerwolfing than coasting.

Town. I see you’ve already told us you are as well. This is wonderful news.

How do you propose we go about eliminating those who are not?

[TonyStarkPrime]

I'm going to do a host read here and say they'll rejoin us after N1 at the very latest. Having people sign up for your game and then be unable to do anything is pretty lame.

Eh, I wouldn’t trust this host read. LC and Jay only made one appearance in AC mafia.
