The Syndicate

I am curious as to why marmot was pushing falcon, but then parked a vote on quin without any explanation.

What inanimate object I'd be I guess a plane so I could experience flying. That could be fun.

@Roxy I will just respond here rather than quoting. I don't remember if we have played together. I played the original felt game if you were in that. I am a player that is kind of slow to start til things get going and there's more to go off of. So I feel like day 1 is kind of tough for me. I am just trying to make sense of everything and get back into the swing of things. I took a break and haven't been around as much. I don't think me trying to understand things from different perspectives means I'm abandoning my own mind. Its just me trying to sort things out to the best of my ability.
The funny thing is I was trying to agree with you on saying that rondos behavior was odd, but I think that got misinterpreted as the opposite.

I think what quin is saying makes sense. I noted that interaction between those 3 as something to keep an eye on and the making sure to mention that conversation means they couldn't possibly be teamed.

If you pick something else your wrong. Roller coasters are the coolest thing on earth and I'm a huge nerdge for them.

I was planning to pick amusement park. I always enjoy a good roller coaster.

Oooo what's your favorite coaster you've rode?

Good question. I think I'd have to say the superman at Darien lake (used to be a six flags). I was afraid of it at first, but someone made me go on and I was like whoa that was amazing! I've also been to cedar point which has some great coasters too! How about you?

Oh night phases are open? Ugh I'm sorry falcon. Wish he would have talked more at the end rather than leaving that cryptic last post.

Putting my vote on falcon for reasons mentioned previously. [VOTE: falcon] aubergine

I was also wondering about the neon votes and why marmot voted quin instead of falcon.

I cannot believe Rondo hasn't come back. He is my strongest ping for day one. I'm gonna vote:Rondo.

I see falcon taking votes but tbh I feel more pinged by the good Dr Wigly. So I cannot see me voting for falcon.

The Kate and Dennis back and forth has me - intrigued - but tbf I am a yet undecided on them.

Lemon welcome. I do not suspect or vote newbies day 1. Your welcome.

I looked at Rondo's iso and it does seem like he kinda just disappeared. I think he is usually a more active player, but even aside from that it's kinda like he just came in picked three random people as the scum team and then left. Is this why you're voting him?

Hmm I feel undecided day 1 is tough. I also was thinking the poll ended later whoops. I was unsure about falcon but his reaction earlier coupled with his most recent dismissive response makes me lean a little more on the side of scum reading him.

If so curious to see what you think. If you get the chance to catch up on today.

What’s the best office party (holiday or otherwise) you’ve ever attended?

My answer: Last night my husband @reywaS (who will literally never see this because he “forgot” his password) attended a holiday party thrown by the fitness studio owners where I teach yoga. It was held at one of those family fun zones where they have arcade games, ski-ball, Go-Karts, laser tag, batting cages, mini golf, VR games etc. The studio owners rent the entire place out for us fitness instructors and our families so it’s a great time.

Time is ticking - Get your Day 1 votes in!

I don't really like going to office parties. I often find them awkward, but they usually have really good food and they used to do fun raffles. I won a TV one time so that was cool. Now they don't do as much since covid. At a previous employer they had us go to a theme park for the summer picnic which was fun.

Marmot wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 1:33 pm In the Wilgy/falcon dispute, I definitely agree with Wilgy about falcon, and between the two think Wilgy is more likely to be town atm.

I do think that sabie means what she said about Wilgy, thinking that him pushing falcon for not doing anything when there wasn't much to do, although I don't agree with her on it, as I think Wilgy is more multi-dimensional than her recollection suggests.

@sabie12 what do you make of falcon at this point?

Yeah I think I've been away for a bit so I'm a little out of the loop and out of practice.
I guess maybe I was reading it as wilgy came in early when there wasn't a lot of discussion yet and said falcon would be doing more by now. I see now the perspective is more that the important thing to look at is falcon's reaction rather than wilgy's initial statement. If we look at it that way falcon seems more defensive and reactive to it than wilgy. So then the question is, is falcon's reaction like that because he genuinely feels wilgy is reading him unfairly or that he is mafia who has been caught too early and needs to deflect elsewhere

So I did say that this game is a little easier to keep up with and I like that it's slower paced, buuuut SVS is right that, that does make it a little slower to get going and I'm a slower to start player as it is. I just logged on, on my computer and it is so much easier to read. So I am going through and rereading the game from the beginning since it's not that many pages. The first three pages are mostly the OT stuff. One of the things that stood out to me is the interactions between SVS, lucy and then Dennis added in. A lot of focus on what happened last game and then the discussion of whether they could have btsc or not based on their interactions. SVS seems to be townreading lucy and I can see that she seems to be less talkative this game so her play style seems a little different, but it's still early. So the conversations seemed organic so probably not teamed up, but something to keep in mind for later if it becomes relevant.
Then there was the falcon and wilgy interactions. It seems like wilgy thought falcon should be hunting more, but there hadn't been much going on yet and then falcon thought that made wilgy scummy for saying that about him so early. So seems like wilgy was maybe too quick to come to that conclusion and it didn't feel like a real read, but wasn't presented as a general push for falcon to participate more. It may be because I haven't been here in awhile, but it seems out of character for wilgy this early on.

It's me the OG sabie not the other sabi or perhaps you meant to call me that? Haha. You and falcon both accusing each other. Any particular reason?

I actually was talking about the other Sabi (and yes I know they aren't in this game)

Ah okay that's what I thought, but just making sure. People have tagged me on accident before when referencing them so doesn't hurt to check.

Roxy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 12:31 am So far the only things stand out to me are that iRondo came in like a much duller version of himself from last game. He is not pressing anyone. He has not made multiple votes with nary a reason. He hasn't pushed not questioned anyone for any reason. Makes me wonder about what may have changed from this game to the last one.

He was a sub last game, dropped in around D3 or D4. Here he gets to make his own reads, but in the other he had to rely on ours until he got a feel. That's my guess, at least.

This makes sense, I think subbing in later does make it easier to get into it because there's more info to go on and things have gotten going by then.

I've been a bit busy today with various plans and playing D&D and such so haven't had much of a chance to be here. I like that this game is a hit more chillaxed and laid back so far. Easier to keep up with and this is my first game playing in about a year. I don't feel super strong either way on anyone so far. Tsp and epi still haven't shown up yet. I'm going to go eat dinner and check back in later.

You think that is ai for Marmot? Or just kinda trying to push him to talk?

My mom makes these Italian cookies with frosting on them for Christmas that I enjoy.

My niece has done that, and the pictures were AMAZING! She is certified for all kinds of dives, and has pictures with all kinds of fish, but the dolphins were the best.

That's awesome! It looks so fun! I love the pictures and videos of the ocean and all the cool fish and such. It's nice fall asleep ambience.

Are tapioca balls fruity in your mind? I don't believe that boba tea is traditionally fruity...you wacky MillenalZees

Haha yeah so typically they call the tapioca balls "bubbles" and the fruity ones "boba". I usually get a fruity flavored tea with the fruit boba in it. I like the passion fruit the best. I tried the tapioca and it's okay, but I like the fruity ones better. And I didn't think I was that much younger than you but maybe I am. I will admit to being wacky though.

I'm pretty old...I fought in the Hundred Years War, which took longer than it sounds.

Ah yeah you're right I haven't quite made it to 600 yet.

I am a vegetarian as well so I usually make mine with the vegan bacon, which is actually pretty good.

I don't care for tea at all so I'm having my signature Coke Zero. Plus I have a little headache so the caffeine will do me some good

I've actually never liked tea either til I tried boba tea especially the frozen ones, which are like a slushy.

My brothers girlfriend introduced me to boba tea, and it sounded weird but I really like it.

Yeah I was skeptical at first but I ended up really liking it and now I made my friends try it.

Hi a mom, not a mod I'm Dennis

I know that song about Istanbul and Constantinople

It's a fun song. Now it always reminds me of that one fight scene in umbrella academy.
