The Syndicate

this all-sides interrogation of MP strikes me as a distraction. people have developed obvious suspicion of him and he hasn't alleviated it seemingly (for better or for worse). i'll see how i feel shortly when i assess MP's posts, but i don't like the extremely narrow focus of this thread right now....

Oh you're quick.

i choose the second one:

Day 1 ISO - fingersplints there is a decent amount of content in her 9 posts, but i find myself struggling to find something to talk about. and that in itself is a little troubling. my only big disagreements with things she's said have been about irrelevant Mafia rules/theory. if there's any trend t...

Day 1 ISO - Epignosis is it possible to see the poll results before having submitted a vote? i see the "view results" button, but i don't wanna click it if it cancels my ability to vote -- it would on an RYM poll. Stop being a coward! :feb: playful poking of the new loud guy. i dig it. i w...

you're right, you've defended him plenty. we can co-chair the defense of DDL committee.

Day 1 ISO - Elohcin I see that DDL thinks all those who've been posting tonight look like town. I disagree, but not only that, I highly doubt that none of the mafia are talking. I just can't see that being the case. Honestly, I see MP's over-helpful behavior as suspicious. I know we have a lot of ne...

you suggested he should have within the context of DDL's mindset at your portrayed it. so yes, you could say that context isn't representative of your own ideal scenario. but you didn't say it then so i proceeded as i did with my commentary. do you take any issue with my defense of DDL in general? ...

Anyway, my read on sanmateo, since it's the only one I haven't read yet. The fact that he is being active and suspecting of me is a good thing, as opposed to what I said about MP. But I don't like how he is tunneling on me hard. I've hardly seen him talking about anyone else, and I'd like to see hi...

Day 1 ISO - Dom he made a post on Day 0, and i think it was before the role switch? either way, that's it. i hereby confirm that this player exists. is this degree of silence typical of him? null read. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Day 1 ISO - Dragon D. Luffy this one is important for ...

G-man, cut me some slack pal! i posted a recording of myself singing terribly. i'm not all serious.

Day 1 ISO - birdwithteeth11 MovingPictures07 , one might assert you've made a concerted effort here to earn Bass's early good graces without having to commit yourself to a truly positive read -- even if minor. Yeah. That's what I got from MP's comment before this about bass. But again, only one Day ...

i'll try to use the word "mafia" instead of scum. apologies in advance if i forget in some places. i can understand the word being seen as unsavory.

yo G-man, i think you're trying to communicate with me. i see "Hay angry bear", which is probably "Hey JJJ"

but after that i lose you. try a new rebus my man!

caught up. going to generate reads as i get opportunities here, i am ever-distracted by RL crap.

Has anyone considered that G-Man is pulling a gambit, isn't actually cursed, and is skating by on Day 1? Why did a couple of players automatically dismiss any future suspicion of him assuming he's cursed? RYM is the Gambit Capital of Mafia, so yeah i've considered that. before i proceed though i ne...

you've asked a couple other players about me (granting one of them being Picture Man). has that exercise provided you with any insight either about me or the players you've asked?

okay Golden, i found your response to my "minor gripe". the one minor gripe i might make about Golden's posts to this point (which aren't dependent upon the answers given by others like the one above) is that despite his decent thoroughness he hasn't provided many reads. I'm not generally ...

Thanks, Jay, much appreciated. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to aggressively pursue you or Bass because I necessarily suspect either of you at the moment, but pressing you for answers in real time allows me to best gauge the content and sincerity of your explanations. If I seem impatient, well, ...

my lean for Golden was less distinct because my ping on him remains unanswered for. Is there something you feel you've asked me that you feel I haven't answered? you may have addressed my questions somewhere. i really need to catch up. once i have done so, if i still feel you've not done so then i'...

But you lump me, DDL, sanmateo, and Sloonei together at the top of your reads at the moment. Is that incorrect? i've said you'd all be some shade of green. i don't know yet that you'll be on top . again, i'll see how i feel as i do all of my homework in this thread. you know how i am about presenti...

Let me clarify. You appear to be claiming that your reads fall into categories as such: Contributors (DDL, me, sanmateo, Sloonei) Contributor with minor ping (Golden) Neutral read folks While I understand your logic, I'm just noting: Yes, we are contributing, but what does that necessarily have to ...

It's not that high posters "have less to hide", it's that people should have less room to hide if they're being forced to talk and answer questions they don't want to answer. Bingo ^ Also, a few people have referenced the theory i proposed about highly active townies promoting a more chal...

Btw, I think it's very interesting how Jay started talking about making cases right after the second role was handed out. Which is interesting since the game was pretty much a blank state at that point. Though to be fair, he did say he had nothing at that point. That could indicate an alignment cha...

i have been terrible at quote snipping in this game. MP said that in the quote above, not Metalmarsh.

i don't understand the question. can you clarify your meaning relative to my post you quoted?

I don't know if that should be considered "more-suspect" then your long list of civilian reads. first of all: with a GTMH (gun to my head), i think i read The Three Noobs and Their Big Helper (Sloonei, sanmateo, DDL, MP) as more town-seeming than not. i don't much care that base probabili...

okay i'm finally back. if there's any significant question anyone has for me before i catch up, i'd be happy to field it.

Last tidbit from work: i had no idea dead townies can't win the game? I have never heard of that before so it never occurred to me. Oh well i doubt i'll play any differently.

I think it's pretty dangerous that people are taking the notion that one of the 5 players to kickstart the game MUST be scum as a foregone conclusion. That encourages a narrower focus of suspicion not only in Day 1, but in all ensuing days until the alleged scum is identified. There's more to Mafia ...

What are those accusations, and why do they apply to you? I am primarily referring to accusations that DDL has stated suspicions and then quickly abandoned them when given a response. I think I've done the same thing. That's to say: it's not behavior i find suspicious on Day 1, at least not as DDL ...

one general observation i'd like to make before i leave: many of the accusations being leveled against DDL can also be leveled against me, but for whatever reason that hasn't happened. i have also called players suspicious for frivolous reasons and then quickly moved on from the accusations when i w...

meh i have to leave for work. i'll do my best to check the game on my phone once or twice and provide more substantive reads when i return.

No I've only played one game before, on infj forum, hosted by Heiots. Golden was there :-)

oh, okay. well it's good to have you aboard!

A few thoughts on Golden: I've skimmed through. Probably a lot of content I need to sort out in terms of who has post what. My thoughts so far - a few newbies (DDL, JJJ, sanmateo, sloonei) are running straight into a drive by lynch of one of them. Not that I support that, I just feel like it's what ...

Are you the same Bubbles from Game 1 of the champs series on 2+2?

In fact, I'd suggest that what Jay has experienced is a culture in which mostly the baddies try to look good. In contrast, I think the practice that has developed more strongly here (and at the contributing sites that make up 'here') is that the civilians try to look a bit bad, to avoid being NKed....

first of all: with a GTMH (gun to my head), i think i read The Three Noobs and Their Big Helper (Sloonei, sanmateo, DDL, MP) as more town-seeming than not. i don't much care that base probabilities suggest there may be a scum among the group, because for me the entire point of Mafia is to conquer pr...

We've seen a little more from other players now. What do you folks think of Elo, Epi, Golden, G-Man, etc...?

I'll answer myself shortly.

i've had enough for tonight too. been a fun start; i look forward to interacting with everyone else.

could you tell me what is meant by "linki", mate?
