The Syndicate

TBH that "So say we all" rule is not necessarily a common type of role here either. (So far as I am aware.) I'm surprised more people haven't forgotten about it! It sounded kind of like Golden is giving us all a free day on these kinds of technical issues anyway, so hopefully it won't be a problem for anyone today.

I think keeping track of who forgets to do so could potentially prove helpful, just to see if there are consequences and/or what they might be. Unless they are made public by Admiral Golden.

Looking back, minor townread on Sig right now for that question to the host. Final five mechanics, from what I understand of them, is something that makes a town player unknowingly scum. I do not feel like Sig would ask this if it did not apply to Sig, so I currently believe that Sig is either one of the final five, or a town player.

Wait, I revisited this post and I'm confused a bit by it, especially the underlined part. Why couldn't Sig be a Cylon (original) asking about the Final Five?

I think that's a definite possibility. I posted earlier about the 3 options I came up with that would allow a civ/townie to ask such a question. Now it's possible he is a civ/townie that isn't exempt from Cylonism, but to me it still seems like an odd question. Because he would have been told in his role pm that he was a human and secret Cylon. Or he would have been told he was a human, with no mention of being a secret Cylon. Either way, he would already know the answer to his question if he were a Human/civ/townie, simply by reading his role pm.

To me, asking that question makes more sense coming from a Cylon. But I am also aware everyone thinks differently. I am surprised this hasn't received more attention than it has, unless no one else reads it as odd. But I would still like more input from others, even if they don't think it's odd.



JJJ (can't I just call you P50 still?) - you do you, bro. Unless you really want to alter your play style. I understand your hesitancy to proclaim town reads this game, since those townies may be susceptible to being revealed as Cylons later (and possible town enemies). But still, you'll have those reads in your head at least, and will have to be aware enough to watch for changes in behavior from those town reads... so we may as well all watch for them together. Ya dig? I say play how you want to.

I disagree with this also.

If Sig were a civ/townie who could be 1 of the final 5, and they found out right when the game started... he'd already know if he were or not, because he would have been told that in his role PM.

If Sig were a civ/townie whow could be 1 of the final 5 and they weren't told till the end, he would be aware of that too, since he would know he hadn't been told yet in his role PM.

If Sig were a civ/townie who could NOT be of the final 5, he'd know that now, because it's in the role description.

I think the highlighted is the most likely, however i think its not goign to be at the end but rather mid game. what i gain form it is that hes probally one of the people who arent excluded. not enough to warrent town reads though

I like this thought process. I imagine it will likely be mid-game, or even at different times during the game (if it's true to the show). At any rate, I definitely agree that it's not enough to warrant a town read at this time for me either.

So say we all!

Wow, that was a GREAT job! Really fun to come through and read. Nice work you'ins! Sorry I am late. Forgot about this starting tonight entirely. I am sorry I missed the excitement.

This may be a stupid question - what others would we plug the cipher into? Weren't all the messages Golden posted the same message? Maybe I am missing something. If there are other ciphers, I'm game to help de-ciphering them.



Linki already!
