The Syndicate

Duskfall has succumbed to poison! He was vanilla town.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME has received the gun and has 24 hours to choose a target!

N2 begins now.

Hell yeah I have, thank you all for not breaking my achy breaky heart.

My current pool is Hyena/Mac/Jack/technically boo cause he won’t play the game, ama

He's asking why you're excluding the people you're excluding from your current pool.

Quality reading up though page 29. I've been up until 1 or 2 a.m. every night this week, so I need to stop for the night. Here are some observations:

-Mac projects a frustration after nutella's flip that is hard to fake. It's not his usual 'bite me' style of doubling down on the punchy stuff. That strikes me as a modest civ look for him. I would expect baddie Mac to just say "f**k you" and crack a joke. He seems disappointed, which is a rare emotional response for him.

-Dragomir feels like a flat character that keeps popping up in a story full of three-dimensional characters. Is that normal for him? I see Johann says that Dragomir likes to lead, so is his play contradictory of that tendency in a bad way?

-Funnygurl posts weird stuff like this...

also gman u good?

...that reminds me of a guy I worked with who would say random things so seriously that no one could ever tell when he was joking. Then, if he said he was joking, no one knew if he was telling the truth about joking. Any of the new-to-me folk have any guidance on this?

And no, I'm not good. I apologize for lashing out in such a broad way like that. I realize that my rants being intertwined with my request for the gun makes it look like what you folks call Appeal To Emotion. Please know that that was not what i was going for. Syndicate regulars can tell you that Appeal To Emotion is not in my nature. I snapped in my last game too, and what I said here has only a little to do with what's going on in this game and more to do with a few years of pent up frustration with my perception of mafia culture has shifted in a way that edges me out of the picture a little. I may very well be having a 'no country for old men' moment and questioning myself, but without a proper outlet. Some of what I said was uncalled for.

-Johann has good question- why posion Dusk (?), but there is an obvious answer that he seems to run away from more than once. Is that normal for him?

-Nanook comes across as very even-keel and focused. He posts a lot but he's moving in one direction rather than dancing to and fro. So far, it seems like his focus justifies his receiving the gun.

-Hyena seemed to sputter a little when Nanook grilled him. That's a side of him that was absent on Day 1 when I agreed with his logical rebuttals. I need to revisit parts of his Day 1 to see how I feel when chewing on both of those realities at the same time.

-Sloonei feels like he's digging. Digger Sloonei tends to be Civ Sloonei.


That's only seven people though. There are 11 of us still alive. Wilgy had a few posts but I don't get much of anything from them. Nothing from boo but a RIP post and some OT green. Jack had posts. I know he did. Jack can't help but post. They just lacked memorable flavor. We'll see the taste of all of you change when I read more tomorrow.

Speaking of flavors...

I remember way back when Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans came out. My wife bought a box and we carefully tried them, being sure to match the picture on the box. I tried half of the rotten egg flavor. Dear God- how does one taste-test that product without being charged with crimes against humanity?

You have an order of preference for these? mine would be Hyena > Jack > Mac > Boo.

Yeah that.

Times five-ish. There's roughly five people not in the pool. I haven't counted.

When G-Nan and Johann are your top townreads but they’re not that into you and some people want them dead.



But then it’s kingmaker and you’re actually just dragging in a circle waiting for Nanook to do something.

Nanook is like Nancy Pelosi.

I don’t just him but at least he’s not gonna do anything nutty.

gman is town

boo is town

mac is town

we trust dusks nanook read

johann is BALLS TO THE WALL town

idk what to think of sloonei or wilgy, for different reasons.

Right? They're so bad. I mean I guess that's the point, but still.

Two of those are in Nanook's shot pool, by the way. :P

Anyways, I took sloonei out cause I really hope/want them to be town, I'm trusting them on gman so that removes gman, and if last game is any judge wilgy will eventually make himself known (hopefully). So that leaves me with my pool of four--it would be a pool of three, but boo refusing to play the game is fairly tilting.

Boo, did you turn on me because I lowered you to null and raised Jack up to null with you? :P Also, did you think the argument that I originally made about Nutella (that you pushed alongside me), where I said that scum might not want the gun and might not want to be responsible for shooting town, was towny?

Sorry, thought I'd responded already! My bad.

No real preference between jack/mac/Hyena tbh, boo definitely last

I would go for any of those three anyway. I would've been more curious why you excluded Johann and Dragomir. Then again, if you're going with the premise that there's probably a wolf between Jack and Boo, I guess that's not a bad route to go.

What makes you think I’m saying there’s a wolf between jack and boo? If I thought that I’d have a two person shot list lol

I'm kinda amused and annoyed that 90% of the game wants me dead. I feel like that alone should clear me, unless you guys are thinking I'm scum and I'm getting bussed?

I’m not shooting Johan on D2 of their first game here. Sorry

Because of their interactions D2 where they were arguing with each other and calling each other scum. I took a guess that you saw that as potentially a w/v interaction?

If he’s town it’s pretty pro town I’d say.

Beyond that, I don’t really give a fuck whether you like it or not tbh. I’m not arguing that nobody should I’ll Johann before f3, but I, me, personally, myself, am not interested.
