Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 9]

[Golden]

Did anyone not know what my role was after Day 1?

I mean me, obviously lol.

Glad I was such a good brick wall for Scotty.

[Spacedaisy]

Did anyone not know what my role was after Day 1?

Surprisingly, yes.

[Sloonei]

[VOTE: Elo] aubergine

You're all over the place Scotty.

I’m a scattershot on D1 here in the Wild West, partner

This post was pretty telling for me yesterday

[Scotty]

Did anyone not know what my role was after Day 1?

The only reason I wasn’t sure was Golden’s hesitance after I came in swinging with that theory D2. He kept pushing his “he’s not what you think he is” which made me reconsider that maybe Golden switched for some inane reason. But that doesn’t make sense.

You’ve been the towniest cleariest town of the past several cycles and it’s not even close.

[Spacedaisy]

I’ll share a link to the spreadsheet so all actions can be seen when I get home and update it

[Vivax]

Glad I got NKd. Don‘t think I‘d have picked the right one or survived the day.
gg Golden!

Thanks for being a great sounding board, partner!

Likewise, it was awkwardly painful when you got killed again lol.

I laughed when you said it was obvious I wasn’t Rev Mafia, but in hindsight thought maybe that was an act.

There’s also one of my last posts which was made only for Vivax to clear himself if he was ever under pressure:

Spoiler: show

Very nice playing with all of y’all. If i don’t make it through the night, and some tomfoolery is afoot, pay close attention to golden. Very close attention. Assuming michelle is bad, X-ray googles need still be applied.

I don’t want a scenario where dfaraday is just auto elimm’d tomorrow without discussion. So keep up the solving and pressure on golden and wilgy just in case.

THe crux of my continual tinfoil is this: a duo consisting of those two would have to be deep wolfing. Even ONE holding back from bussing other teammates one after another would look suspicious (and I know you’re probably like ‘Scotty, your tinfoil hat is on so tight you’re ready to start spotting aliens in the barn’ but it would be a disservice for me to exclude all possibilities- plus who doesn’t love some good conspiracy theories late into games??)

Unless something absolutely bonkers happens sometime in the night (Socky’s, the map secret resurgence, etc) Pretty much all we need to do is continue the path we’re on. Elo is town, sloonei is town, viv is town. Clearing aside, they are ones i trust.

This elim is THE LEAST nervous I’ve felt in a while in this game, and frankly i’m exhausted lol so i’m all here for it

which makes all the capital letters spell ‘VIVAX IS THE ONE I SUSPECT THE LEAST’

Wish you had left him alive in endgame for that reason

[Spacedaisy]

For the record, what Scotty wanted to do in thread was not out of bounds. I’m also surprised you remember our days of no claims so differently because it was something that used to happen all the time. It is fair game to discuss something that has happened that is public knowledge and speculate why or to try and slot à role.

Oh no, I was in full civ golden mode.

Even before day one was swapped I believed it was being swapped by axe. I don’t know what his day one stuff was about but it was weird.

Ah, but it would have made my life a lot harder.

[Spacedaisy]

Yeah but Kate was right there with you lol

If SVS wasn’t backing Golden up about the old ways I would have surely pushed harder. Golden this game was like that kid during a school exam that was covering his paper the whole time because he was nervous the guy behind him was peeking

I…also don’t know what Axe was doing D1 lol

We may never know

congratulations Golden. I knew there had to be one or two OGs on the baddie team, because the OG civs were dying off too fast. I guessed you, G-Man, and Michelle, but didn’t guess Quin. Towards the end of the game, I started suspecting Vivax instead of you, because you were posting so many personal reasons for your game play and the old Golden would never have done that. So I dropped my suspicion until Vivax got killed, and then switched back to you. I played the game from the sidelines, and I didn’t do as badly as I’d thought I would. I knew Lorab was civ, and I was wrong about Bea. It was definitely fun playing along, and I really hope there will be some more OG games. Being BTS partners with SVS was so nice, I’m so glad I got to do that. Thanks SVS! It was really fun Daisy and Epi.

[Scotty]

Ahhhhhh I put too much work into this game.

It’s crushing games like these that makes me have to launch into breaks again. I can’t just not be involved when playing these things. And to come so close…

I’m just glad it wasn’t lost by some bullsuit. Golden clawed and scraped his way to that win. Sure, team win yadda yadda yadda…but at one point he was…what, 1v6? That’s impressive. Gotta give him props

Sounds like your reads were very much on point. I’d like to play a game with you one day!

[Spacedaisy]

Honestly I thought he had lost it when he voted Elo. I thought it would be easier to convince Elo that Sloonei was bad than the other way around. So that shows me how much I know.

lol I thought he had lost it when he left alive the two towniest players in the game in f3

[Golden]

@Sloonei did you work out what I was getting at with the night 1 thing?

I was 93% certain I could get sloonei to vote Elo. But I thought Elo might come for me no matter what.

[Sloonei]

No lol

I do actually feel a bit guilty for this.

I think, of all my mafia wins, this was the one with the most consistently strong civ play. You, SVS, Kate, Sloonei, Eloh, Vivax, sig, llama, wilgy... I had nowhere to hide

[Golden]

@Sloonei did you work out what I was getting at with the night 1 thing?

No lol

I was role hinting at map.

Because the nons option was my avatar.

And I had pink checked Kate who was map, so I knew it was safe to claim.

[Matahari]

Thank you Scotty, I have signed up for a game so maybe that will happen! I have to say, you have such a quick mind for this game, you see and note everything! Whenever I was doing a quick catch up, I would read your posts first, because you summed up everything so well!

I had you as map in my notes after that comment. Then the map never reappeared or seemed to do anything after N1, and….figured that role was definitely dead and you weren’t the map.

Wow thanks. It’s funny, because even though I’m far from a spam poster that this modern game has spawned, I often feel like I spew a little bit of lunch from last Tuesday when I post

If I solved it correctly, Kate only made one poll and then could do things based on location each night, and there were some cool fun things in there.

Oh btw... I couldn't solve the FEB power, legit. It was phrased completely differently in our chat.

[Epignosis]

@Sloonei did you work out what I was getting at with the night 1 thing?

I was hoping Eloh would have.

[Golden]

@Vivax I really enjoyed playing with you. You were a sharp player and I'm certain if I was civ I would have had you in my town core and really pushed forward. You were very perceptive.

And @Michelle you were a great teammate who was so gracious when I had to bus you and I'm glad we got to meet this way.

Nice to meet and get to paly with both of you.

[Golden]

Yeah that would have been a very fun way to lose.

[Kate]

@Sloonei did you work out what I was getting at with the night 1 thing?

No lol

I DID!!!

[Sloonei]

I put zero effort into solving roles. That probably hurts in a game like this.

Thanks a lot. Impressive ramp up in productivity on your part towards the end.
I guess in hindsight you were hard to spot because your tone was similary aloof to the other players.

Post game is where I could learn the most from this, given the motivation.
First time I tried old school after so many years of mafia and it was great compared to setups with roleclaims and obvitowning. Wouldn‘t mind another go at some point.

[Quin]

i helped


gg everyone! i had so much fun playing with you all again

[Vivax]

I should opt for keeping it simple and not be overly perceptive or overly associative like when I cased sig and made a castle of a case out of thin air.

But the possibilities to look at things differently do seem to be endless, after all.

Sometimes the best fiefdoms are built with sand. Doesn’t mean it’s not real!

Plus, if you make a ton of cases, you’re bound to be right eventually!

What happened with splints' kill? The post made it seem like a block or double target?

[Sloonei]

I vote to have more Classic Syndicate games hosted here in the future.

[Epignosis]

I do want to say it was a joy seeing so many familiar folks here who showed up for this thing. You all are wonderful people and a part of my life, however virtually that may be.

Spacedaisy, by the way, rocks as a cohost. She did EVERYTHING- and I mean everything- I don't like about hosting.

Also, the NP Blue role was all her idea, and I thought it was a fun way to bring in some who didn't sign up to play.

I appreciate you all. I appreciate Eloh more.

[Golden]

Here is my post in night chat before choosing my kill last night:

If eloh is Kate break:

If she picks me, she blocks the kill
If she picks the same one of Sloonei and vivax that I do, she blocks the kill.
If she picks the one I don’t pick, she townclears them and knows it’s me

So I have to kill elo.

But if I kill elo, it should be clear to vivax that Sloonei is rev mafia, and it should be clear to Sloonei that vivax is lostpedia.

So I need to kill one of them, hope I don’t pick the same one as elo, and convince the other that sussing me is Elos scum move
Sorry team, I think chances of us getting out of this one rely on elo actually being adverb tell and not llama
I’m just going to run what I think is the safest line I can… elo suspecting Sloonei most will try to block him, i kill vivax, and I have to convince Sloonei it’s elo… and chances are I’ll fail.

[Epignosis]

What happened with splints' kill? The post made it seem like a block or double target?

My posts were just fun bullshit based on old games.

[Kate]

I vote to have more Classic Syndicate games hosted here in the future.

I would SO be here for that! I really forgot how much I loved this game.

Me too. And I was genuinely annoyed we weren't civ/civ and we need a game where we actually are.

[Golden]

Hey @Kate how DID Map work exactly?

Pffft why dontcha marry her?

No, but y’all have both rocked as hosts- very hands on and responsive. No typos or grammatical errors. Which as we know is the most important aspect of hosting

Regarding Non-player Blue. I enjoyed the role, but it would require some tweaks to make it work better if I were to ever use it again. It was fun to watch though.
