The Syndicate

Oh and btw, I'm Jester. I cc NAA.

Someone claiming Jester in this game doesn't seem like useful evidence to me. There are too many players here who would lolclaim Jester both as Jester, and not as Jester.

But I'm deferring to NAA because he has all the confidence I desire to have right now.

The voting patterns today will be telling imo

If you say so

Are you speaking as the kingmaker or

Both

Also ties are bad, and I will change my vote to break any tie.

Scotty, there are perforated spots in your argument and I punched them out.

And you're voting for your Jester read?

Scotty wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 3:59 pm I’ve just had the greatest idea known to man/marmotkind! Let’s leave the vote tied on who we think is most likely to be jester/scum. The tie would always err on the side that isn’t jester.

Like…why did we not do that yesterday?
[VOTE: marmot] aubergine

That's not how it works. Ties are just randed.

I completely agree. I also hope that when the PRs come out, they do so in a way where a cc is impossible.

My heart thinks LC is town, but I'm also voting for him so I'm just gaslighting myself :/

I just have "blah" feelings when I open up this game thread, I dunno how to proceed forward.

Ok

[VOTE: Lime Coke] aubergine

I see we only have 4.5 hours, maybe I will hold off until tomorrow.

I'm not sure if this is a Day 2 or 3 activity, but I do think looking at paired interactive analyses might be useful for solving this game, given that it's a Jester game, and there's only two wolves.

I'm inclined to think that mafia are likely to protect each other in some capacity from elims. Because otherwise, in order to win, they could end up in an F4 or F3 scenario where there is a single mafia, and they have to elim the townie (who might be a claimed PR at that point) over the jester if the jester is still alive. Odds are stacked against them incredibly.

With 2 mafia alive, they can do that in an F5 or F6 scenario, and the chances of hitting a townie are higher.

This is also why I tossed out the idea that mafia probably weren't around at EOD1 if no mafia were in danger, because they didn't need to be.

It's probably a good thing if you think I'm a jester because that means I'm not getting DKd

Hi I still exist and I haven't forgotten this gaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

[VOTE: dolby] aubergine to break the tie

Anyone who contributes to a wolf elim kn day 1 is basically confirmed town, because bussing day 1 is suboptimal

Any participation in the thread is voluntary. None of us have to be here.

I completely disagree.

Nice

Actually threadstate read. The only reason mafia would be in the thread right now is to save a partner on the ropes.

Dunno if I'm ready to call LC scum even if naa is convinced.

I also don't want to kill hk today

I'm pretty sure we have all been guilty of having confident reads that are wrong. Please don't single out NAA like that.

Anyway, is this the part where I say dadv?

This apology seems out of place

NAA is probably a wolf who is baiting as jester

I don't find LP particularly scummy, and I do agree with her assessment that trying to differentiate between scum and jester is probably wasted energy.

I'd rather place votes on the scummiest players, at least Day 1 and 2, and accidentally hit jester then be cautious and put ourselves in a position where we run into town elims from being wishy washy

K

Dolby doesn't feel like town here, which if last game with him says anything means that he probably isn't a wolf

Actually, falcon is very focused on how people are reading his slot. Considering there is a jestern I find that approach interesting. A jester might want to be center of attention

I have fresh eyes on the last 10 posts. Will backread what I can with the time I have

Tbh, I'm reading all three of hk, lc, and falcon as town

LC for lamenting slow threads.

HK for responding to my asking who to sheep.

Falcon because his question to LC just now was pretty kind compared to his wolfy tendencies of responding to posts like that, where he is either cynical or suspicious.

Per Hk's point of people are afraid of hitting jester, we have to elim wolves at some point, so being too hesitant probably won't behoove us much. Especially on Day 1 when we have the highest chance of missing the jester

Tbf, this game is a 10player game with a post cap of 60. We're 1/3 of the way as a thread to that collective cap

Sorry for being non existent. Been a busy couple days. I also thought I'd have internet access on my computer but I don't

Someone give me a read to sheep plz

I rescind my previous claim and now claim jestnut.

naa unironically not a jester imo, idk skimming P#17 seems to on the nose for jester kinda

marmot following HK's 24 with 25, kinda scummy but maybe in a jestery way

I didn't read anything, just posted.

I'm a jester.
