So I take it you won't be killing Sloonei in this game anytime soon?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:33 pmThis is why I [try to] kill Sloonei and MP when I'm bad. They know how I work.
Glorfindel!!! We finally meet. I replaced in for you in Chicka Chicka and wonGlorfindel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:05 pm I'm so sorry, everyone. I'd totally forgotten I'd signed up for this as I haven't been here in a while. It's wonderful (so far) being back here with you all and it looks like an amazing game. I see we're already at 11 pages so I guess what I'm pleading for is:
A) your patience and understanding as I try to catch up and immerse myself in this game and
B) A clue about how you respond to someone by quoting their post. Somebody asked me a question and when I reply a name keeps appearing and when I press 'Return' it inserts some bizarre stuff in the middle of my post - sorry, again, I've not played since the redesign of the site. Thank Ye
thank you for the forgiveness, what is the significance though?Glorfindel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:26 pmAnd you're forgiven for not understanding the significance of what I'm about to say here, but

It's significant because we are trying to not lynch town.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 6:45 pmthank you for the forgiveness, what is the significance though?Glorfindel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:26 pmAnd you're forgiven for not understanding the significance of what I'm about to say here, but

I assume it's some sort of inside joke or something?
I could see you going with chaos or order.

What's your alignment?

I DID run a Sandman Mafia game. It was sublime. I may have to run it again sometime, I think it's long enough that people have forgotten the fun secrets.
it also seems like maybe this was a bad thing? at least now we know..
Given the introduction I get the impression mean words are thematic:
well i just mean that like... the whole "spikes are gonna get sharpened" and "we're filling our pits with acid now" stuff, like that kinda stuff doesn't sound really promising.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 10:32 pmGiven the introduction I get the impression mean words are thematic:
It's fine, chuckles - that's just the way the cookie crumbles - I bear no ill will towards you or anyone else for the results of the games here. It's mighty fine to be back playing with you again!speedchuck wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:58 pmIf you're on my team, that'll change.Glorfindel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 5:35 pm I should also point out that in all the time I've played here at The Syndicate, I've never won a game as either alignment and that reflects my playing history elsewhere. Guess I'm generally crap and I don't expect that to change this game - just so you know...
Let's do this.
(I'm sorry, I should have rebelled and made sure you won Elemental Mafia)
Tell me more
can i ask why?
You've seemed focused on the mechanics of the game so far. I'm wondering what people have to say about that.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 10:54 pmcan i ask why?
the only time you've mentioned me negatively was after my first post for "trepid introductory nonstance", is that it?
also, while you're here, can i ask for a (brief) explanation of your read on Made and Made's read on you, from your perspective?
"focused" seems like a little bit much. i was interested in the day 0 poll at the time because it was relevant and i haven't played a game where there was one in quite a while. I think that there's a lot to be gained by revealing mafia and indie secrets as soon as possible so we know what we're up against.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 10:58 pmYou've seemed focused on the mechanics of the game so far.

I didn't say it's been your primary focus, it's just been something you've been attentive to. I also didn't say I necessarily see it as a bad thing. I'm just voting for you because of it.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:05 pm"focused" seems like a little bit much. i was interested in the day 0 poll at the time because it was relevant and i haven't played a game where there was one in quite a while.

can you answer my questions about Made please? linki- oh there it is
I'd like those posts explained, yeah. It's driving me crazy.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 10:22 pm so in regards to Made's whole thing about Sloonei and the whole "ask Kyle/Speedchuck" thing.... i was kinda expecting to like.... gain some sort of special insight at the dawn of day 1 about sloonei.
speedchuck what about you? do you feel any different
Made should i keep waiting or did something go wrong
Why?
Why?
WHY!?
well.... sure, but your initial town read on Made came 2.5 hours before his day 0 rainbow list. you said you had a townread on Made shortly after Made came forward with his "pinkish shade of red" comment about you.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:03 pm As for Made, I came out feeling good about him because he felt compelled to post a Day 0 rainbow unprompted. That's a bold move for scum to make. Since then, however, I've only had questions for him and none of them have been answered (I don't blame him for that, he's just been absent.) I can't offer a take on his read of me because I can't see where it comes from. He implied that he perceived me as feeling heat on Day 0, but I actually felt like I had achieved an inordinate amount of townie cred for that phase of the game. I don't know where any of his reads come from right now, and that's problematic. Maybe the boldness of the Day 0 rainbow was Made's principal motivation. He just played a solid scum game in Vocaroo but had his credibility destroyed when game mechanics all pointed to him. Maybe he drew another scum role in this game and wanted to come out swinging.
It felt like an authentic play on his part. So did the rainbow. The game has progresed since then, but he hasn't.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:52 pmwell.... sure, but your initial town read on Made came 2.5 hours before his day 0 rainbow list. you said you had a townread on Made shortly after Made came forward with his "pinkish shade of red" comment about you.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:03 pm As for Made, I came out feeling good about him because he felt compelled to post a Day 0 rainbow unprompted.

so i'm curious about your treatment of that read, it's strange to me that you in particular were so quick to decide that that was a good look for Made with only his confident claiming that you were probably the least dangerous indie role to use as context.
Again, there is no need to apologise, Jay. Of all the people I’ve met playing these games, there is no one whom I hold in higher regard than you for your intellect, reason, passion for the game and your integrity. You did what you felt you needed to do and it worked out for you - and I respect that. I do think however that it was a potentially a risky strategy (had I actually been Town). I will likely return to my policy of permanent non-declaration of my alignment after this game so whilst it worked out for you in Mad Max, I’d counsel you to think twice in future.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 6:08 pm Oh by the way, Glorfindel, I totally took advantage of that in the Mad Max game and it was lame of me to do that. I never properly apologized. Sorry buddy!

which causes me concern because you haven't verbally denied anything that made has said about you. which is troublesome behavior in a game with a lie detector. you haven't commented on his read on you other than to explain that you don't know where it comes from, which is technically true.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:52 pmwell.... sure, but your initial town read on Made came 2.5 hours before his day 0 rainbow list. you said you had a townread on Made shortly after Made came forward with his "pinkish shade of red" comment about you.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:03 pm As for Made, I came out feeling good about him because he felt compelled to post a Day 0 rainbow unprompted.

i don't think anything of it really.... i've been killed a few times recently and put into consideration a few other times for early murder for seeming too genuine, Jay wanted to kill me in phenon, i died night one in vocaroo. and apparently jack and dunya have had conversations about how much easier i am to kill that to lynch.
I laughed way too much at thisSloonei wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:29 pmWHY!?
If you'd like me to deny anything Made has said about me: I am neither a Loner role nor a member of the Outworld team. I don't see that there's anything for me to respond to directly besides that. He's not elaborated further than the existence of his read.Kylemii wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 12:16 amwhich causes me concern because you haven't verbally denied anything that made has said about you. which is troublesome behavior in a game with a lie detector. you haven't commented on his read on you other than to explain that you don't know where it comes from, which is technically true.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:52 pmwell.... sure, but your initial town read on Made came 2.5 hours before his day 0 rainbow list. you said you had a townread on Made shortly after Made came forward with his "pinkish shade of red" comment about you.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:03 pm As for Made, I came out feeling good about him because he felt compelled to post a Day 0 rainbow unprompted.

it seems like if Made has any kind of intel, that it indicated to him indie or at least not-civilian. Even if Made doesn't have any sort of intel, you still haven't responded positively or negatively, which bugs me because the only players in a mafia game like this who benefit from that sort of ambiguity are players with mafia roles and indies and... one of the indie roles needs to make sure 12 civilians die in order to win.
so that's my 2 cents on that
Okay but what does it tell you about me? I am the most important thing in this thread.Kylemii wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 12:24 ami don't think anything of it really.... i've been killed a few times recently and put into consideration a few other times for early murder for seeming too genuine, Jay wanted to kill me in phenon, i died night one in vocaroo. and apparently jack and dunya have had conversations about how much easier i am to kill that to lynch.
so i don't really mind a little heat.
