The Syndicate

Most of this site's regulars have been, unfortunately, blending together for me so far, though I'm starting to get better at distinguishing y'all individually. I'm sure you're all having the same trouble with us newbies. It's hard to learn new names and personalities while also trying to decide whi...

Sloonei, you asked how to link posts? Sorry I missed it earlier. Just click the "Re: Death and Taxes" part of a post and it'll give you the URL, then you can copy and paste that into your reply. I hope that's what you meant. I'm running out of time, but still want to post my current Rainb...

Why do you find this behavior suspicious? I thought it was an honest and simple attempt at clarification by BR.

Hello TinyBubbles, are you reading this post right now?

I kept forgetting my password so had to keep retrieving it lol but I got Chrome to remember it this time :) Hello, have you been able to follow any of this stuff so far? What are your thoughts? What's your password? No substantial thoughts yet... I kinda agree with JJJ on Epi but I disagree with hi...

"I'd like the posts here" in my above post is supposed to say "I'd LINK the posts here".
how do i link posts, mafia friends?

Bass fishiness: I really don't understand why so many people are throwing around DDL name. I could understand if people have played a game with him before and know his tells but this is his first game here and I have no read on him. MM out of syndicate regulas who are you getting bad vibes from? I a...

I liked most of TurnipHead's big post about Golden and agreed with parts of it, with the one notable exception being this bit here: I What I'd like to see now? A bit less of the same few guys talking around each other and a bit more of everyone else giving opinions on the four of them. At least then...

I am mostly caught up now. I still have to look a bit more into some of the bigger posts from the last two pages, but I was starting to feel left out so here's some stuff. Most of this site's regulars have been, unfortunately, blending together for me so far, though I'm starting to get better at dis...

I guess the difference is I'm being obviously un-TH like and Golden feels like he's trying to hide it. I can elaborate when I get home tonight but if you're interested in looking into it just read his filter. i get this is an Official Champion (TM) but pointing out you are deliberately not playing ...

I can't decide if I find Tiny Bubbles' lurking to be scummy or not. They've admitted to being nervous about saying anything at all, which would ordinarily would look very scummy but I am not familiar with them as a player or the Mafia Culture they come from. That said, regardless of anything that l...

Sloonei -- (previously Very slight civilian read ) -- He has dropped due to an inability to really get the ball rolling on suspects and contribute more than uncertain statements. What say you, Sloonei? I say this observation may appear fairly accurate, though my ball is assuredly rolling. I make no...

before i leave for the day i'll offer one slight warning about JJJ. He is fully capable of pulling off a "supertown" effort as scum. That's not to say I think he is scum right now, but hid play style is identifal regardless of his alignment and it can be dangerous to write him off because ...

After all, sanmateo is the scummy one who started it all. so you think i'm scummy? for any other reason than omgus? I'm thinking about D2 here. If I'm lynched, then you can be sure town will try to figure out who was responsible. Who wants to bet sanmateo won't be the primary suspect? It may even b...

Ah, okay. Then I really don't know what to make of it and I'd say to her that saying anything at all is infinitely better than saying nothing in this game.

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...

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.

This post: I also looked through sanmateo's posts to try to grasp where the early suspicion is coming from and I don't see it. I came out of it liking his casing of DDL more than my own and at the moment my imaginary vote is on the Dragon. You admit you don't have a big case on me, but you are inte...

Especially TinyBubbles, since I asked if he was bad, and he never responded! He is a she. Dammit! Sorry, TinyBubbles, I even almost put he/she but thought someone said he somewhere. I must have been mistaken. I apologize! I hate messing up someone's gender. Lol. Golden, how are you feeling now, hav...

i'm saying this because I'm seeing a slowly bandwagon forming on me, and if that's true, I might as well try to spot the mafiosos who are likely being part of it. Now, some players, like sanmateo and Epi, have attacked me directly. But other, like you, Sloonei, cross and Elohcin, seem to be content...

also, dunno if this is important to be aware of right now, but what exactly does it mean for a player to be cursed? i assume it's just some sort of post-restriction, but

I tried to elaborate in my first post but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. It just doesn't seem like MP behavior. I've seen his baddie game as a teammate and not as a teammate. I've seen his civ game as well. I am not saying I am even up to 80% sure he is bad, but I do know his behavior se...

sorry jay, we're syndicators now.

Jay, Epi is an English teacher, and the Adverb suspicion is one that he commonly holds throughout many games. I don't think it indicates mafia behavior from him, more of just an opinion. thank you. i'll continue failing to capitalize a single thing too. :feb: Oh, you'll fail to capitalize, all righ...

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...

I haven't been able to glean whether or not the four of you all come from the same place for sure, but my perception is that you all know each other well. I do feel like this day one is culture shock. sanmateo, jjj, and myself (along with acrosstheaether, who's in a different timezone) all come fro...

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've been questioning DDL because I've had questions about his posts, nothing more to it yet. It's still too soon for me to decide whether I think he (or anyone else) is scum, but I'm not gonna get anywhere if questions aren't being asked.

I find it notable that you seem to be aggressively questioning DDL for his inability to commit to reads, and thereafter for a comment saying that active posters all "look like town", yet you have not issued an opinion on anyone, including DDL, yourself. Hesitant? Yes, that is one way to d...

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. this is exactly the case for me. I usu...

I think you all (you, MP, and Jay and some other guy whose name I forgot) look like town. In other words, I also have no scumreads. Thus, if I had to vote now, I'd vote for some of the others, despite the fact I have nearly zero data on any of them. It's a matter of probability, really. Thank god I...

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...

Stop being a coward!

You have cast exactly zero votes in the poll yourself.

I do think it's weird that you tried to start a conversation by saying something you don't actually believe in. What implications does "weird" have for you? Are you reading civilian, mafia, or neutral on Sloonei? Do you believe his explanation? I think it's very likely that it's true, and...

I have not played an open setup game in years and I usually ask The Thread what it thinks the possible setup could be at a certain point early in the game. I can't do that here

This all seems fair so far, no one has tripped any alarms yet. Is anyone else here?

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 ...

Saying this negates the accusation I want to assert that the players expressing the most interest in starting the game are scum, so I'll have to find a new entry point into this thing. I'm curious, why would you think that? From my experience, scum players usually want the game to move nowhere for ...

Just to be clear for myself and fellow noobs: once we submit a vote in the poll, it is final and we cannot change it again that day?

JJJ's behavior does not change with his alignment, he does this whether he is town or scum. Saying this negates the accusation I want to assert that the players expressing the most interest in starting the game are scum, so I'll have to find a new entry point into this thing. I've also been very anx...

jay's poop flings are immaculate, let me tell you
