The Syndicate

Well...

Sloonei didn't lynch Malcolm. He went in a different direction.

If he is good he could be in NK danger tonight. I think his push on Agent was wise.

It's still possible he's bad though, and if so he is equally playing a great game.

This can be Sloonei's moment if he has enough time to seize it. The second mislynch is a demoralizer, and the calming and patient influence of forensic Sloonei could be just the medicine.

7v7 killed Frog! It's awesome!

Jackofhearts reads really scummy to me. Sloonei is still sitting in a pack of people who could get voted through but at least he should be surviving a couple more days yet.

Blood in the water. Great opportunity to take over the game.

Why Me? defense

Xardob also looks terrible for that post about why the town is going to lose, which had logic leaps all over the show.

I've gone back to maybe Jack being ok, and the baddies being FCD, Xardob, Agent.

This game reminds me a lot of my own, it bears some striking similarities. Still, I'm worried that sloonei won't get the credit he deserves because, unlike me, he is part of a sea of fish swimming in the same direction and doesn't need to convince anyone. I hope people realise that, especially if FCD is bad, he pretty much called the baddie team out on day one.

Got 'em.

When they mislynched Maclom, Sloonei was on Agent.

Generally agreed, Golden. I think Sloonei needs to find a way to stand out in the crowd. I was in a similar position in my qualifier last year, and I think I won people over with my typical scum interaction ISOs (I was fortunate enough to arrive at sound reads). If he can shove a lot of good content into the thread, even if he ends up where he already was, I think that would benefit him. It depends on how much time he has of course.

It really does. I managed to turn around my game on day 2 by doing my best JJJ impression.

Xardob gotta be bad. Augustus has just pulled out that post with all the logic leaps.

Sloonei is trying hard, but I fear Augustus and madchemist will get the credit because they are being more consistently townread and sloonei is the tinfoil target.

Or, sloonei is actually bad, which would be an awesome twist.

It would be good if Sloonei is bad. The vigilante has kind of left all of the townies in a conundrum -- if they lose, one of the slots automatically goes to the baddies.

In hindsight, they played that very well. I think they had a very good idea FCD was going to be the vig target.

One thing I never admitted to in my game - I called out someone as a vig target not because I thought they were, but because I thought that if they were, they'd vig me next. And while that might have been fine a day before, at that moment in time I felt like the town needed me and we'd be better off if the vig was blocked than having the vig take me out.

The vig is a dangeous role in the wrong hands.

I'm beginning to wonder if Sloonei is bad after all...

GLORY

If he doesn't advance I'll be pissed. This should be clear cut. Sloonei and Augustus.

Yeah, he will advance. Awesome.

He played that so masterfully. Wasn't he responsible for getting the town PRs to claim?

I can't take credit for that, but the timing of it was perfect for us. We had guessed both PRs already (or at least I had) so having them claim just made it easy for us to knock them off. Augustus and I were worried that the lack of vocal townies would leave the two of us exposed late in the game, but having Nimbus and Zark make themselves no-brainer targets allowed us to leave a couple other townies alive so that we could blend in more easily.

I was so anxious when I first saw my rolecard. I was kinda dreading the possibility of being scum but once it happened I had to just run with it. I didn't expect to run that far. I better be town next time. Glad I had you guys fooled! I felt like I became obvious the last day, but the townies were so on edge they didn't notice.

You were obvious on that last day. I would have been going after you then. I always had you could be bad in the back of my mind, nothing ever cleared you, but i was hoping you were bad because I was pretty confident it would get you into the finals if you were.

too many scum wins in this tournament. Golden, let's be town and correct that.

I was not part of the problem lol. But yes, lets.
