Otherwise I'll probably just make a bad impulsive decision based on whoever's around right now and sets off the peter tingle
Here is my biased understanding (I'm voting Scotty):

Scotty had a moderate amount of activity, but the wolfhunt appeared to lack feeling. The reason for the vote on Dennis didn't make sense, and the outgoing message felt wolfy

Creature has been much less active that one would expect, and hasn't made any real contributions to wolfhunting

Doing an ISO on both should be helpful to you

@Mayo the Mayo mightyrunner just made a good one

Hi

I think pyxxy's attention to detail in that post about SP/dya is rand!v. It looks to me like he believes what he's saying wert dya.

@Dennis if I were to give you my vote, where would you put it?

if you happened to know about other things going on elsewhere, you would probably not be upset at the lack of content

I don't have any idea what else is happening, but I gather irl is keeping him from participating more?

Is there an argument anywhere for Creature being town?

My initial thought from seeing his post count is "wow, only 56 posts".

Looking through Scotty's ISO.

I don't think his posts are bad, like they do look like posts that townies make, but I am having hard time seeing a scumhunting mindset behind them.

Also

Scotty wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 10:44 pm Let it also be known that I’d *prefer* a syndiCat player to go first.

I was thinking about this, and as a game structural standpoint, I believe there to be an even number of players in each community on the mafia team. So I feel fine about one of my community going first

I don't think the logic here adds up. If the mafia team is evenly split (which I doubt it is guaranteed to be), there wouldn't be a reason for him to push his own community, as the odds are equivalent.

Although, if he knows that he's town, he would then think there is a slightly higher chance of chopping a wolf among the rest of the Syndicaters based on this logic.

Hmmm...

This could be mildly TMIing himself town, but it also gives me pause that he didn't include that in his argument, so that may not have even been part of it.

Do you have any reads?
I think I only have a couple of townreads, like SportPonies, Animal Midwife, Zenge and you.

This is one of the first posts I came across in Creature's ISO, and what I see here is him voicing townreads for the sake of doing so without much belief in them.

I endorse this wagon.

We come from different backgrounds, so that makes sense

This cycle timing has not done me many favors. At least this time the closed nights are landing on my work days so far.

Ever since the spam era began, I greatly enjoyed not having to deal with content at night because there's already so much to parse through during the day.

The particular point being about Dennis voting for a lowposter at a time when he said he doesn't specifically vote for lowposters.

I mean I can tend to force something out of myself, admittedly pretty weak

Whereas you have been a very aggressive voice I find it hard to believe you don't have a suspicion

How can you be so sure they're wolf? It's like with low posters and hardly anything it's just statistics and chances are they are town because math and nonsense
What are you even talking about?
You never responded to this post @Dennis.
So I did not

I dunno wtf I said either, but I also am struggling to understand what you asked me
I was asking why you thought the lowposters were definitely a bad place to go when you had no wolfreads yourself? (Though you've since shared a wolfread that is another lowposter.) And also wondering what the vague "healthy suspicions" were being that none were referenced in your post.
I've always been against killing low posters I don't really know why. Maybe I shouldn't be so stingy or whatever with killing them but a lot of people I know are lowposters and they are very outspoken against killing lowposters

It just kinda feels like a shrug vote to me given the "healthy suspicions", which I meant like arguments between zenge and falcon, sloonei doing that peacekeeper thing, miranda, scotty, so on and so forth

Just the argument "he's not doing enough" is too shruggy for me with like 17 more people to look at today
You chose to vote a lowposter and have not pursued any of the above mentioned healthy suspicions? Why?

I believe I said earlier that Dennis seemed like he wasn't outside his wolfrange, but I do find his interactions with AM in this exchange sincere in a townie sort of way.

Does the Syndicate usually play with mafia as the bad affiliation or wolves?

Are you asking whether it's mafia or wolves?

The host will often call them the mafia team, but the players here often use the terms interchangeably.

"Player X is mafia"
"Player Y is wolfing"
"Player Z do be howlin'."
I was asking specifically for what the host calls them

But if terminology is fairly interchangeable then what I thought I found might not be a slip after all

Do you have any opinions about any of the SDN players at this point?
I already clearly stated that PSV is in my “town for now” bucket, and I’m voting Miranda.

I think AM is playing within her village meta but I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever independently caught her wolfing

What did Mirando do?

It has been a trying night. My only comfort in those long hours was the knowledge that you were safely back at home.

Whilst I was in the depths of my despair, I had the most wonderful surprise!

As I am sure you must already be aware, mother has decided to come join me. I was worried she wouldn't recognize me. Time and distance have aged me nearly beyond recognition.

I could sense the trepidation in her face as she first looked upon me, and I must confess, the waters of my soul were near breaching the levees to my sanity when she at first seemed not to recognize my face. Alas, a mother's love does is not yet limited by spacial or temporal boundaries.

The wildlife here is wonderful, but I cannot shake the underlying sense of foreboding whenever I brave the wilderness. Abigail, I hear voices. I see visions.

Terrible visions.

Please keep me in your thoughts as you must know you are in mine.

-Mayo

PS Les voix disent bonjour à maman
Yo. I'm probably not safe or in bed. I mean I'm about to murder a Werewolf.
If “mafia” terminology was the norm here, this felt TMI

I like the thought here.

I did a quick search in Neon's post history on the site, and she's used that specific term in multiple other games across the site. I think I'd agree with your other post that it probably wasn't a slip.

I think this is a townie sentiment from you though.

If anyone takes any issue with the things about Syndicaters I'm sharing, please lmk.

I've got like 15 minutes before I've got to head to work, so I'm working on some preliminary reads for now.

Sloonei is prodding in random places, which while I don't think is hard town meta for him to replicate, it does look like his town meta, so I would give him a townlean for now.

@MacDougall is not in this game and I'm a sad banana.

I think Neon is fairly clearly town at this point. She reminds me of how she played in GoC (which yes was a game where I was a wolf and strongly pushed her as town and pocketed her, but we can ignore that part)

That question was very important which is why I asked it twice.

Dennis is playing with a high amount of unabated excitement this game, and some of his engagements seem like they're posting content for the sake of content like in #245.

I'd lean slightly wolf on him atm. The reason I don't feel more strongly yet is much of that content was Day 0, and I also opted to post zero game-related content during that time.

I am excited to finally play a game with you where I am not a wolf.

I look at the other mafia forums and see questions and concerns about their respective chosen votes. I look at the syndicate and see I game playing. At the very least, this just doesn't look professional. I see children here who are not serious about their game playing. Online gaming is fine, but not here.
goddamnit Jay this made me laugh out loud in class and now it seems like I think chronic pancreatitis is funny

It would be a good band name.

The Syndicate is a community of dedicated professional professionals who sometimes play mafia games.

No, no, no, it's a werewolf site that mistakenly thinks it's a professional networking site sometimes.

Aren’t quokkas the animals that throw their young at predators to save themselves? Or is that a pernicious slander?

I thought that was opossums or another amdibal, but I don't recall.

@santygrass we should regularly remind @supershorty of a certain something since she isn't playing this game with us.
