The Syndicate

Thanks for a fun game everybody!

It wouldn't be classic mafia without at least four players saying they hate the game and want to quit! Ah, memories...

That G-Man read should say lurky, not lucky^

Well, I have no aversion to giving reads during the night phase, and since there's a non-zero chance that I will be NKed, here's what I have to say about everybody still playing. bea - No real reason to suspect her, but I inherently don't trust her and her cheerfulness feels a little more forced tha...

Kate seems unhappy, and that's a shame.

… I hope the hosts didn’t go too old school and reinstitute the “only players alive at the end of the game can win” rule. What?? You can win while dead?? In my day the Mafia won as a team whether alive or dead, but civilians had to be alive to win. This is a terrible way to play and I’m glad it’s g...

Lorab’s posts, though few in number, tended to
Contain a lot of sentences.

Sloonei’s defense of Quin has puzzled me from the start. It’s so full throated and insistent it almost feels like an info hint, but I can’t really believe that it is, nor can I really believe that it is one mafia sticking up for another. I think the most probable answer is that Sloonei is just genui...

My vote was never on you, guy. It was briefly on Lorab.

Kate, ignore Sloonei’s question and answer mine instead. Are you bad?

if This is going to make solving that Map a huge endeavor I was out at dinner and got back right at end of day. Just in my reread in the last 30 minutes- that felt like an unnecessarily chaotic end of day. I don’t think I would have switched off LoRab if I had the chance in the moment. But the wago...

Also, I wanted to say that this attitude is why we don’t have a viable third party in the United States. You’re everything that’s wrong with democracy, Sloonei.

See what happens when you don’t listen to me and vote for Quin?

Well that’s not ideal.

No.

"Guys we fucked up lol he's right the bus was too obvious shit shit shit"

Well, that's gratitude for you.

I have to say, DH is (finally) saying some things that make him sound a little more trustworthy to me. I would rather we lynch someone else today.

On the other hand, it's possible that the mafia chose to OT a low posting player because they wanted to avoid giving civ cred to a high poster who might otherwise get themselves lynched.

Kate is the most suspicious me vote, is what I'll say. Why? Because if I were mafia and I had the ability to take out someone's on topic discussions for a whole phase I would not waste it on Kate unless she was my teammate and asked me to do it and I wanted to keep her from being lynched for being ...

We should get some useful data from this, whatever happens.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 7:07 pm Very cool and not at all obvious EOD bandwagon to save a mafia teammate though guys great job.

It is an interestingly sudden shift, I grant you.

Only weak ones. After Quin, the people I am most uneasy about are probably DH, sig, bea, and G-Man (undecided on Lorab but willing to give her a pass for today.) I'm reading everyone else as pretty civ, except for DFaraday who I have no read on, because he never posts. Can I get the bullet points o...

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 6:56 pm And I thought not reading my posts was the most transparently fake reason for suspecting me

Not reading your posts wasn't a reason I suspected you. It was just mental self-preservation.

@Golden move your vote to DH. Let's make this a spicy boi DH I fully intended to move it back, I just moved it away to take the heat of DH and let him get thoughts in the thread that weren't dominated by defending against me. O7 Good job soldier. I'll probably save LoRab last second. @Golden move y...

Cranky Lorab feels like a frustrated civ to me, as does Golden's little tantrum earlier. I'm happy with my vote. Do you have any off-the-radar suspects who we have not spent much tome talking about? Only week ones. After Quin, the people I am most uneasy about are probably DH, sig, bea, and G-Man (...

You know what I love--players telling me how I should play the game. Seriously. It's my favorite. Almost as much as when people say that civvies deserved to be lynched. You should have used sarcastic orange for this. Sarcastic orange is dead Good. I always hated it. Jokes are not funny if you have ...

You are not allowed to vote for any option in the poll except Host/Non/Mod unless a Host specifically instructed you otherwise.

But they are voting with me. Don't take this away from me. It's all I have!

When one is being suspected and has to defend one's self, one has less time to come up with reads. False. That is when you should have the most time to come up with reads, because you can't defend yourself by saying "trust me I'm good!" The best defense is a good offense, or in other word...

Yay I'm in a tier of my own.

Like…if you were to take the energy you’re putting into this guffawing and defensive hullabaloo you’re dishing out and put it into reading the game at large, I think we’d all be more productive I think this might be the funniest thing I've read all day. I'm not responsible for the threads productiv...

I encourage others to do a DH iso. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if DH is mafia, so I approve of you bringing attention to him. Maybe I'll even vote with you if you're nice to me. Which of my posts haven't you read that drew you to this conclusion? I haven't read any of your posts. Ain't...

I've never claimed not to be silly.

Veering into a tough 48-hour stretch for RL (tomorrow night is Trick-or-Treat and Friday is my wife's 40th birthday) , but I will do my best to go behind my wife's back and ignore my children enough to participate a bit wherever possible.

You know what, I changed my mind. Quin …what? That’s some weird logical leaps. That’s like having a terrible meal at restaurant, jumping to your feet and explaining in outrage “this food is disgusting!” Then paying with a 30% tip and coming back the next day for lunch. Allow me to elaborate. The Lo...

You know what, I changed my mind. [VOTE: Quin] aubergine

Indeed, I don’t have many reads. It’s day frigging 2 and I haven’t played in a while. Also, I tend to think more about mechanics than read early in games. Mainly because my reads on people come largely from pattern recognition of individual’s posts, which takes time. "I don't have reads becaus...

If eloh and I are both town, the mafiers had a very relaxing end of Day 1. This is my contention, and part of why I think they are taking it easy right now. Let’s put some pressure on them then. Vote LoRab with me. She says she is going to post more, and we’re now less than half the day left, and s...

I continue to believe that the mafia are largely being quiet in order to let the civ devour themselves. Is there anything specific that makes you feel this way? Mainly just experience. It's a smart and historically effective strategy for them. If we are on the wrong track, what reason would they ha...

Sorry for the double post. Site was glitching.

You currently have LoRab and Quin as your top contenders for mafia. Those are my top 2 candidates right now too. Can you better explain what you find suspicious about LoRab or have I missed it? I continue to believe that the mafia are largely being quiet in order to let the civ devour themselves. I...
