i am finding myself liking DDL's defenses, particularly the most recent. he is earnestly trying to describe a Day 1 strategy that is inherently a bit volatile but potentially highly productive for a townie. i am particularly familiar with what he is describing because i employ a similar approach my...

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 new players and he wa...

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 you risk by generating so much discussion here on day one. if our conduct to this point has been that unusual by Syndicate ...

alrighty then. i don't anticipate needing to hold you to this.

i want this more than literally anything else in the entire universe

and acrosstheaether if from Our Place. she hasn't posted yet, but i look forward to seeing her in action.

sanmateo, you've spent much of your early effort interrogating DDL. that's groovy, i encourage interrogation. but how do you feel about the other active players to this point?

Sloonei should answer for himself in all matters. I'll just say this little tidbit for the purpose of meta to those unfamiliar: he is the most patient Mafia player i've ever known. in all areas, including development of reads.

hey you good people watching, let's play Mafia! dive right in!

the terrible vocals were really mine.

i was just singing over the studio XTC track though. glad you liked it! one of my favorite bands in the world.

i can understand a degree of suspicion arising from MP's distinct positive stance on DDL. on Day 1 any distinct stance is inherently a significant statement. that's why i pressed him to explain exactly why he felt better about DDL. and at the least, he answered my call: I've been unwilling to commit...

truth be told many RYM games don't start this actively either. i think it's that many new players to The Syndicate who are also veterans of the game elsewhere are excited to play in a new place with new people. and it's great! i love a fast moving game thread.

i have to take note that Epignosis is active lurking right now. he is aware of the game, seemingly following the game, and contributing nothing to it. at face value and independent of meta (which i cannot know beyond MP's descriptions), i find that suspicious. Who is more suspicious to you at the m...

the game is still very young, so i understand many people simply haven't gotten here to play yet. that's cool. i do hope many of them come soon though before i go to sleep. i love to engage players directly on Day 1 with live communication.

Committing to slight civilian read on DDL. I believe him. can you describe what is motivating your slight trust? i don't necessarily disagree. but for you to make this post requires that some point he made or emotion he conveyed resonated with you in a meaningful way. please point to it if you can.

And I like to call people scum. Defenses are a great way to get reactions. you've not called anyone scum. in fact, you've made assertions of scumminess but in each case offered a caveat to relieve the pressure inherent to those assertions. ergo, you're scum. :) Thing is, I don't think any of the ac...

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. It does not cancel your ability to vote; you can click it as many times as you want. good to know...

Anyone in the know:

Is it typical for Epignosis to be aware of and introduced to a game (as seen in his initial new-role post) but distinctly quiet while others carry on discussion?

Also listening to Skylarking thanks to Jay's 'singing'. :P Just kidding, it's way better than my singing. Anyway, it's an amazing album that I haven't listened to in WAY too long. What Jay's singing? How did I miss that? :confused2: if i am using this forum correctly, this here's a hyperlink to The...

I'm curious too. This Day 0 has been fun, but it's hard to make reads on anyone when almost none of the posts are about the game. It's easier when everyone is accusing each other. I suppose that's what Day 1s are for. Btw, I think it's very interesting how Jay started talking about making cases rig...

until one of the hosts has responded to the queries regarding vote changes in the poll, i will refrain from making any vote in the poll. however, i would like to represent a "vote" in the thread in some manner before that declaration is made. votes are highly important to my Day 1 methods...

you should answer to DDLuffy's comments about you.

c'mon all y'all. make some posts, and feed this Day 1 with delicious new content. every new player making an appearance allows responses from the rest, and it's exponential growth of content. that's like an economics thing or something right?

Syndicateers, if any of you might have meta-based input: who among the current player list (other than the new players) do you think are most likely to respond in an emotional way to early pressure? for you RYMers, i am looking for their version of RDW. Either me, Dom, or Roxy. I get a lot of atten...

Some players like to stay in the shadows when they're town. rest assured, i don't like to stay in the shadows when i'm anything. ;) i think the most fundamental and simple means of scumhunting is merely to post a lot . a high-activity thread is a bigger challenge for scum teams than a low activity ...

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.

Sloonei , could you describe the strategy you hoped to develop with the approach you just explained to DDLuffy? when you say "get things rolling", what shape did you envision responses to your assertion taking? do you feel you've lost much of the potential in that strategy by immediately ...

don't mind me, strangers. i strive to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible.

Jay, very curious what was on your mind. Hope you elaborate soon! as i suggested before, i didn't have a specific point to make when i asked about the etiquette here. rather, i anticipated having a point to make and wanted to make sure it'd be kosher to do so before just blabbing it out in the mids...

one unfortunate note, at least for me: the phases here will apparently be ending at inopportune times for me. i'll be leaving for work hours before the lynch deadlines, and i have no access to this game at work. i don't work at a desk, and moreover even when i am at a computer this site is blocked t...

I think I'll sing a song by XTC of vague economic relevance when I get home.

The prog origins of this site are already quite evident.

Linki @ Jay - oh no. I don't mind players using Day 0 to go after one another. It's just not common here so far. But, we have a lot of new friends :) now which my change things. I do not fear change :D i believe you. i've found Day 1 (in this case Day 0) is perceived very differently across the int...
