The Syndicate

[VOTE: Elohcin] aubergine

So many little pings going off, but lacking the theory of mind as a civ and tying yourself up in ‘that’s why you’re bad, actually that makes you civ’ logic is enough for a vote.

Quiet (possilbe miss of lynch) from df feels on brand, a post abput driving from lorab then nothing. No posts from kate. That has me worried. Ugh. Day 1.

We have another 24 hours.

Thank god, bea gave me a heart attack then.

Hopefully they posts and we can make a read because lynching a low poster at random is a coin flip.

I would say ‘at random’ excludes meta reads. Lynching a low posting DF on day 1 feels like worse odds than a coin flip to me.

Pointing out that Finger showed inquisitiveness towards Llama (iirc) not mentioning DF while Golden is less concerned with putting the screws on DF.

Makes Golden look slightly too complacent maybe.
Fingersplints townier unless DF is mafia.

Maybe useful to go back to for pairings later.

What screws?

@Vivax i do actually want an answer to this.

Ok f***ing hell this is bullsuit.

Town read of llama.

this is the opposite of what he suggested

Well look I’ve never been one to give llama what he wants.

I have certainly held a mason suspicion for a while but it would suit me more if the mafia didn’t know. At the moment I’m chalking this down to play style but I don’t get it.

Yes. I am most familiar with the people who played on sites before the syndicate.

I am unsure as to why you pointed this out Golden? Did you think I was avoiding the question of "Who are you most familiar with?"

No. It was just funny how perfect the breakdown was.

A no u moment here… but that felt like you were jumping at a shadow. Why did you read that post as having a hidden intent?

Because I am still trying to figure you out. I feel like my Golden gut monitor is off and I can't tell if it's from lack of practice reading you, your play style has changed or you are being weird.

I mean the third one is definitely true but that doesn’t mean other things are not.

Is getting an early read on me something you specifically want to do?

Old habits die hard. I usually had a pretty solid read on you early in the past. It was one of the things that helped to ground me so I am feeling a little shook up over my flippy flop about trusting you or not.

This checks out. I’ll say more post-game, but am I deliberately different? Yes. But hopefully in a way that still makes me feel like Golden.

And you’re advertising this as opposed to keeping it to yourself why?

1) Most experience playing with: DF, DH, Splintsy, G-man, Golden, Kate, Lorab.

2) Mid-teir: Dr. Wgy, llamaloo, quin, scotty, sug, you.

3) New to me: Michelle, Axe, Vivax.

This list is 1) people who played at RM and it’s sister sites
2) people who were around for the syndicates earlier years
3) none of the above

Wait, do Scotty and Sloonei actually not know bea?

That serves me right for not rereading the thread, but it’s not the key fact in the vibe I got from the interaction.

There would be nothing more ‘classic mafia’ than DF being D1 lynched for low posting.

I am in New Zealand and the time is 8:42am

I tihnk there's a lot of noise re Eloh.

I do have a very slight mafia read from her vote and unvote on sig, which did have a bit of a 'better not be seen on voting someone townread' vibe to me.

But I don't think her not reading roles or being generally a little D1 'don't expect me to be up with the play' is AI, not for Elo and probably not for quite a few people. Feels like noise/the thin edge of the wedge do a late day wagon.

New read.

I do not like this post, nor do I like the vote for Bea. Mind you, I think voting for Bea in general is reasonable because people always tend to trust her, which makes her dangerous on the occasions when she is mafia, but Axey’s vote came without explanation and was a pile on after a (marginally) more justified vote.

Also, why would you not vote for who you think the mafia is?

I’ve learned to just disregard Axe in D1 because he does this as town, mafia, independent and axehole

Could you express more about this? What would you say is Axe’s basic meta?

Why are you licking people?

Thank you (now that you spell it out I remember it).

Technical question about new era (sorry if I missed this in the rules, don't see it).

Are votes required to be declared in the thread? Eg, for right now, is Notanaxehole's vote on Scotty counting, or not counting?

I just can’t believe this post exists AND I’m replying to it.

oop, Golden also started by quoting another post.

Ruh roh raggy

Bea throws one eye at me and you throw no eyes at me. When will someone throw two eyes at me I'm waiting for full two-eye treatment.

But also, I got three eyes on you. Beat that.

Picture this 2016 the Mafia Champion Scrimmage game myself, Ike, Tang, and someone else (can’t recall who) were on a team. Ike tricked silver into reading him as a Civ THEN we had Ike send the kill in on Silver and god the level of Anx in the thread and in BTSC was ridiculously funny. We had to walk him off the ledge so many times and I seem to recall a massive post game freak out.

@Tangrowth you remember this?

I was reading back a bit of BSG mafia and Ila got targeted by literally every single negative ability on night 1… kill, block, insanifier, silence…

This is surreal.

I plan to get only mildly invested but still ignore my kids.

Objectively the best strategy.

Gets a one shot role check, but they can only use it on someone who has made a grammatical or spelling error. You must quote the post where the error can be found in your night target PM to the host. If your chosen post does not actually contain an error, your role check fails and it cannot be used again.

Also given my tendency to not A. Double check my posts 2. Care about grammar that much and C to play on my phone this role definitely feels targeted against me.

Hi all! Great opening post!

I feel the same sig!

Bea is mafia. Not one typo here.

1) Kate get's love, but I don't???

2) I mean, game vs kids? Duh. Game.

3)

What happened to your other eye?
