The Syndicate

Like that time Epi did that thing in the game where we were all ice cream and no one believed me no matter how much I screamed.

Dig in!

I already did. Something smelled fishy when I was catching up. I sensed a lot of energy moving in one direction coming from a lot of folks, but then Jack’s posts did not seem to be in sync with that energy. He seemed to be moving against it.

Why?

I’m not sure.

Is that the "I guess I'll place a vote wherever" kind of not sure, or the "I find Jack suspicious but would struggle to articulate why" kind of not sure?

I'll see you at the next North American Conference of Mafia Theory, buddy.

If you can stand the HEAT!

It’s supposed to be in Phoenix this year.

Bob from the colonies over here is not producing an original idea, but he is running with an independent suspicion of the player most invulnerable to suspicion. No harm can come of it and he appears bold and open-minded for floating it. I will maintain a healthy skepticism.

Bleh. Whaddya mean "no harm can come of it"?

A whacke Day 1 theory does not need to be probed hard if one does not want to. By publicly entertaining the idea of suspecting our lord and savior Jagged Heist, colonialbob can look the part of an open-minded civilian on Day 1, but if he faces any real backlash from it, he can always retreat. He looks good for saying it, but doesn’t need to take it any further. He is truly doing as the Romans would.

This is all purely hypothetical of course. My office is merely to dispute the GUT M proposal. My stance on Bob is that I do not hold the same town read as you.

(I do believe you meant to say Heck though)

Nevermind Jay and Nova. Seems like they are strong-arming everyone at the door with their check-in posts. It's simply a power show.

What does this "power show" indicate to you about rey and I?

I didn't mention rey. It just makes you and Nova look like you're excited for the game, and don't mind punching reads out of people's check-in posts. I like the enthusiasm, but your methods look a bit harsh.

This... is actually interesting. Rey for Nova slip. I'm intrigued.

It stroke me as weirdly succinct on first read, and I compared it to some of her entry posts in previous games. I have no data on baddie Sabie, however her Civilian self usually starts the game with some chatter. She feels comfortable, and appears easy going.

She comes offcold here, or timid I'd say. Right to the point. I don't care much as well for the general compliment, and the addition of an emoji. Probably an attempt at appearing more friendly.

Can't we be just two townies trying to solve the game?

I mean we don't even share the same read on you, I don't know why you keep throwing shade our way and grouping us together as an evil plotting duo.

I'd like to come back to this. When, and what did Jay accuse you of? He simply asked me to expand my thoughts on you. He has you as green in his rainbow list.

Also, what do you mean by "get all the suspicions off of them"? Has there been any suspicion on any of us to begin with at that time?

Do you actually believe that we are scum teammates?

I personally just mislynched Sabie for doing this.

Yep.

Filler post. And you said REY was trying too hard? Bugger off with that.

The fuck is a filler post? Do you not want me to generate content? I don't believe you really suspect me for that post. You just thought it would be an easy thing to appear suspicious of.

Yes, I want you to generate content. That post said nothing, had no content.

I am accusing you of pretending to generate content. Was that unclear?

Well they're my thoughts so far, take them or leave them. I'm accusing you of fabricating a suspicion.

What content would you say is present in your post? What should I take away from that post that helps me get a feeling either on you or from you on others?

nutella

That I was eager to hear more from you and Sloonei, and that in sloonei's case I was putting him on the spot/warming that I would end up suspecting him if he didn't start producing content, and he still hasn't so he is still on notice whereas you have provided civilian-indicating data.

I am doing well, thanks.

Seriously tho why?

The Grand Unified Theory of Mafia, attributed to JaggedJimmyJay in his seminal 2019 paper "A Unification of Mafia Theory: Connections Across Alignments and Behavioral Trends" posits that a mafioso is less likely to voice interest in accusations that will strike many observers as silly (and my rey/nova switcharoo qualifies in that category). Civilians have no idea what to do with Day 0 crap though and will explore anything available with enthusiasm.

This thesis is whacke.
