The Syndicate

Mac what would you know about my energy to tell if it's off? That's some vague bullshit if I've ever seen it.

Day 1 ends in less than two hours Mac.

This is not really saying anything, the way he's going about it is in a kind of casual way. He's not really pushing the idea of him being scum off his reads list, it has a...lifeless (?) ring to it. He's not doing anything with this. Like, are you calling him scum for it? Are you preparing for a push on him based off this? (He actually did, as he voted him in the same post). He's not really pressing him further down on that readslist. It's not coming from a place of trying to understand why he'd make those reads so early, it's like...Meh. "This is my concern with you even though I didn't even call you scum before this". For post-game cred, I think this is exactly a scum telling his scum partner why his reads list is bad, going from the premise that he is scum, and sig knows he's scum...Soneji also knows he's scum. Which is why this lacks any fuel.[/QUOTE]
Detached would work better than lifeless, and my fuel doesn't get going unless there's some real spice. If sig wished to give more insight onto why he made such a readslist early, he can do so in response to the post I made. One does not need to ask others directly for such things to get an answer, and it's better to get an answer from the player then speculate why they did it yourself in your post(one should obviously give it thought in one's own head). My concern with sig's reads is that they appeared to try too look tryhard for a d0, while having no given substance and skewed towards having a wide lynch pool. Combine that with his bad tunnel on Sloonei today, and that d0 "readslist" comes off worse in it's intention.

Asking questions for the sake of asking questions.

Asking questions to get a better grasp on Jack's position, rather than let him hide behind what other players would say about a post. This is called trying to establish someone's alignment through questioning, and is a good way to get both townreads and scumreads. Jack gave a solid if overly long answer to my question, so now I slightly town lean him.

Ok? Blanket statement, not really going into whether Mac is a scum or a town pushing that read, blah blah.

It's a prod at Mac, to see if he or someone else bites at it. I'm not going to give an exact town/scum read on someone immediately for everything I poke at, but one can get a feel for my stance on my opinions of a post by my tone addressing it. I didn't like that post by Mac.

This is what bothered me lmao. This is such a bad thing to even throw shade about. Do you honestly believe that I wouldn't try to find scum at all, especially if I stated I don't get major town reads?

I said I will focus primarily on town hunting, yes, but by doing that, you can see a lack of a town mindset. Also, I did mention that if I find a scum lean on the line, I'll let you know.

It is just...such a bad line of shading to take for a villager here, like, really? Shading me for scum hunting when this game is revolved around lynching scum?

My issue is you made a big post talking about how townhunting is the key to victory, then proceeded to make just one slight town read while scumreading multiple people, to the point of you commenting that the game thread felt like wolfchat. I am definitely all for having scumreads, you just failed to convince me that you actually care about having townreads. Scum have motive to not want to thin the PoE, and you'd thin your own by tossing out townreads.

sig wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 11:58 am That town hunt not going well then...do you feel that more posts have been neutral or scummy since you don't get the feel of any villager posts?

He even found the explanation for why I started scum hunting lol.

While you were on this post you could have answered my question, instead of acting like I should take your excuse as a reason not to press the contradiction.

Also think that it's hard to act like this, I don't think it's a villager mindset. He started by shading me, which usually happens when you have laid your eyes upon someone, but instead of progressing with that mentality, this is taking a step back, actually. The way he goes about it is also like he is trying to back track on his previous shade of me.

I don't think this is a villager progression on me.

I asked you a question to get a better feel for your mindset, and you proceeded to ignore the question. That is me trying to progress a read on you, and you flat out refusing to try to work with me.

3. Soneji’s comment about sloonei’s “why does this exist” post felt kind of off to me. He called it clarifying, it didn’t feel like clarifying to me. It felt like an accusation. Also the rest of his post felt like a lot of questions that can make it appear like he’s doing more hunting than he actually was. Feeling a little bad about him, and possible he is covering for Sloonei?

I said Sloonei in most of his play/accusations has been looking to get clarification about vague reads/odd statements, those being sig's reasoning for wanting to lynch Sloonei and what ted meant by saying they felt they had a permanent demo version of wolf chat. As for looking like I'm doing more hunting than I actually am, that is a common sentiment by people unused to how I play as town especially early on if I'm content starved. I prod things most find irrelevant or don't think are a big deal, they all have a purpose to me however small.

Mac seems civvie.
Nanook seems meh, this time I'm right I swear.
I wanna lynch Sloonie, for reasons,
LC, since I've gotten away from my roots of always lynching him and him usually, sometimes, kinda always being mafia.
Ted, since I never wanna lynch Ted and I think it'll be a fun way to start the game.

This is a bit much for d0, especially given it's very negative overall. One town read to two seeming scumreads(Sloonei, Nanook), as well as two other people you're giving meme justification for wanting to lynch.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 11:45 pm Let me start by suggesting that Long Con is the optimal lynch here always.

1 - He's scummy
2 - He's Long Con, he only contributes when he's a wolf anyway so he's the best possible mislynch
3 - He didn't want me to have scrap

Would have been more convincing without including policy lynch reasoning and spite.

If Nutella was here, she'd call this salad tho.

Nutella isn't here though, so would Jack call this salad?

So you're trying to say that you feel like you're surrounded by wolves in the thread?

tedxtr wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 4:07 pm I think it's too wolfy to be a wolf but they seem like posts that wolves make anyway.

I have a bad habit of scum reading posts that I can't understand.

This wasn't really scum reading Jack but it just felt like...what did I just read

and it felt this way for a few pages now

I feel like there's no villager posts, I think Myo is maybe slightly >rand to be a villager.

That town hunt not going well then...do you feel that more posts have been neutral or scummy since you don't get the feel of any villager posts?

Why does this post exist?

tedxtr wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 2:58 pm What do you even expect me to reply with there

Yea I'm not seeing the points of some of Sloonies pokes. Seems like he's throwing shit on the wall and seeing what'll stick.

This is a pretty bs assessment of someone asking for clarification on people's reasoning behind vague posts/reads.

For the purpose of mafia lingo, claws might be a better choice here. Or pouncing, pouncing is fun!

Such a beautiful creature!

Voted Sloonei so he might agree to finally do the fusion dance with me, and become Slooneji!
