A respectable readlist, but for one exception.

Care to elaborate?

What specifically is respectable about it?

Just because I'm not throwing accusations yet doesn't mean I'm not working. On day one I suspected you for being too gung-ho so I asked everyone the dog thing and found out that that's kind of just who you are as a person along with some other stuff.

Now I'm working on something else

What specifically do you want out of me?

Yikes.

This is not indicative of a townie mindset.

Thought you have looked good so far, but Iwould like your one elaborate on what compelledyou to say this @

MOving my vote to Kyle

Apologies folks it’s raining and my phone is not taking well to it don’t typos are even more likely

Oh I see I’m joining a wagon

Still going ti keep my vote there but I don’t think we should let anyone become a consensus or avoid putting pressure on as many people as possible. Spread the love around. Lol

I suppose that makes sense. I’m not inspired but I’m not keen to lynch you on your first game back unless I really think you’re bad.

Unvote for now as I go back to catching up

Oh there’s no unvote... huh.

Alright throwing a vote on NT

Ugh it’s raining again my phoneeee

MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2017 8:44 pm Fake claiming is a legit strategy. I vehemently argue that, I feel done well, it can win the game for town.

Turnip Head and I assisted the cop (Daisy) in Arrested Development with fake cop claims which resulted in Dais being able to singlehandedly solve the entire game.

Fake claiming isn’t without risks, but I can’t fathom why anyone would argue against it in principle.

I'll have to give it to you. I don't think I've ever seen fake claiming as a civ being used in a good way.

Wilgy state your bbeef.

Hey, buddy pal friend, not super terribly fond of this here move.

I agree with this. Scumdar10 rating for MP07: 5.9

Switched to NewTraditionalist until they post.

I didn't read Kyle's post as that odd or pingy.

I figured MP was messing/flirting with you over that vote Daisy, I'm surprised you're taking it that way.

I've got nothing else to add besides the fact that I think either DDL or LC is bad, but not both. The other baddies are either semi active or inactive I believe. I must be off for the time, but I'll be back tomorrow.

Guys please keep it PG this is a FAMILY website. Think of the CHILDREN :/

Yeah, also that Daisy vote irked me about MP07's play today. That was just weird.

I don't understand how you can form an assumption like this on Day 1. Does this mean you're currently town-reading all the other active players?

I would not call it the norm for The Syndicate. In fact people are split in it here because culture began in a strict no role claiming no info
Dumping rule set.

I find it difficult to see why you can't at leDy acknowledge there are pros to fake claims from civs. They can and have won games for civilians. But as with any strategy there are risks inherent. I can acknowledgethat. Can you not see the advantages that they provide as well?

I am not telling people to fake role claim. I don't feel the need to tell others how to play. But I am disagreeing with this assertion that fake role claims are bad. And I can both believe fake role claims are good and that people should build cases. There is room for both.

are you saying my opinion is wrong?

I am entitled to have an opinion; my opinion is that fake role claims and fake night targets/results derail the thread and confuse town efforts needlessly. I don't have to acknowledge benefits that could work with experienced and when everyone else is on board and everything aligns correctly, with like a 5-10% chance of succeeding. I just think there are better ways to generate conversation, as Quin said was most of the point people do it as well as hiding the real cop... There's literally 1001 other ways to do that.

And anyway, like I said, pointless to keep discussing it and wasting time on this. My opinion or your opinion isn't going to sway how someone is determined to play the game.

Votes I'm willing to end on: DDL, MP07, speedchuck, sig... Quin if none of those are viable.

MovingPictures isn't playing as his usual self. I've been town with him in both games we've played together, so this game seems off for him.

I'm just saying I feel like you are looking at the negatives and dismissing any positives. And they are there. But we could probably move this conversation to somewhere in the lounge since it's really a discussion of theory. Also I read my
Post again and felt it was kind of condescending and I didn't intend it as such. I said I didn't feel the need to tell others how to play, all i meant was I was not discussing what we should be doing, just a theory basically. Does that make sense?

Yes ma'am, perfect sense. It will be our first time to agree to disagree on this point. Still got mad love for ya.

I’m sorry I haven’t been able to commit fully to this game. I have had RL get in the way and unfortunately I need to get this proposal stuff prepped ASAP. I hate not being current with the deadline so close but I have no choice. I’ll be in when I can.

On the plus side LCD was epic. The weather was horrific though (50F and raining), and my phone despite having a life proof case got water inside which is why I couldn’t type anymore last night.

Quin, while I hate to fight you on this especially after 3 of the mafia in the Seinfeld game were low-posters, isn't there anyone who HAS contributed itt who you feel iffy about? That person, if someone else and someone third agrees with you on, should be lynched before someone who hasn't yet even had a chance to defend themselves. And that person can also make an effort to defend his/herself and change your mind.

I don't like lynching no-posters on Day 1.

hey mister, don't you be using your RL dissertation as an excuse to weasel your way out of our suspicions if you're mafia, mmmmkay?
