The Syndicate

GLORY

If he doesn't advance I'll be pissed. This should be clear cut. Sloonei and Augustus.

It would be good if Sloonei is bad. The vigilante has kind of left all of the townies in a conundrum -- if they lose, one of the slots automatically goes to the baddies.

Got 'em.

When they mislynched Maclom, Sloonei was on Agent.

Generally agreed, Golden. I think Sloonei needs to find a way to stand out in the crowd. I was in a similar position in my qualifier last year, and I think I won people over with my typical scum interaction ISOs (I was fortunate enough to arrive at sound reads). If he can shove a lot of good content into the thread, even if he ends up where he already was, I think that would benefit him. It depends on how much time he has of course.

Why Me? defense

Blood in the water. Great opportunity to take over the game.

This can be Sloonei's moment if he has enough time to seize it. The second mislynch is a demoralizer, and the calming and patient influence of forensic Sloonei could be just the medicine.

GET 'EM SLOONEI. PILLAGE AND DESTROY.

I'd lynch this guy based on this post alone.

Yikes. Whichever one of those Night 1 kills was of town vigilante origin was really bad. And that confirms for me that Sloonei is not the vig, because there's no way in hell he does that.

Town read on Sloonei. He's playing loose and he's getting in people's faces in a manner that bears a chance of real productivity. He's generating interactions and making noise, and at a pace that I think gives him a good chance of long-term survival if sustained. That alone is often important for being voted onward, since nobody remembers the Day 1 loudmouth who got lynched/killed immediately (the wild card judges might remember).

Whiskeyjack seemed to be functioning as the defacto town leader early in the game, but Golden may have wrested that away from him -- a good thing when end game voting comes around.

Golden was the primary driver of that successful Phighter lynch. I hope he gets the credit he deserves for that when the endgame voting comes around.

*steals Kami's strategy*

I'm still seeing a town Golden. I haven't paid close enough attention to everyone else to have an idea of whether I agree with his reads. I think he has established himself as an important presence though, and given that he has drawn some suspicion if he can find a way to hang around he should have a nice chance of being voted to advance.

I think they set themselves up for that by getting rid of Romanov right away.

Kami is my favorite, Golden bring her back with you.

Probably some kind of reference to a wolf, which is what many of them call mafia/scum/baddies.

Town read on Golden.

Poor Golden, he ended up in the game with all the wackos.
