The Syndicate

Im here. Catching up at work and here soon too.

Thats some stuff. Anyone have questions before I go off the grid for a bit?

For the rest atm, I think Epi looks town but something feels strange about his mafia guru act. I haven't seen him chest-puffing like that before. But he got results.

I think quin is ok, he seems less intense than last game where he ended up bad.

Mac being quiet means he's not engaging with the game which I think he would be doing more if he was bad. Like 60-40 split on that view cos he could just have a life.

I get driftwood scum vibes from soneji. That ninjagoku guy too, but smilier.

Long Con is composed and you could argue is trying to buddy Epi.

I think zebra is good right now. I buy her conviction on stuff.

Vompatti's whole gimmick is what he's doing right now yeah?

Sig I could still see flipping bad.

I would laugh if nachomum is having trouble maintaining the supertown act as scum after that gung-ho day 1 lynch campaign.

uh

linki - oh yeah, I still think scotty is likely good.

I'm an hour from heading off for four days on a drunken beachy road trip along the VIC\NSW coast. I just bought a bodyboard that has a squid on it for cheap. I'll do my best to stay relevant but reception may be tricky.

Leaning towards voting Soneji.

You were bad with him in Mad Max - was he doing those things?

Right. But you guys killed DFaraday, cos killing MP matches the team that killed Goldens m.o.

I'm not scum so I haven't killed anyone.

That team has no respect for the unspoken rules of honor that you don't target high tier players early. Might be indicative of then not having any high tiers themselves.

Just busting your balls.

Scotty wrote:Not mny people talking about me, except Nacho calling me strong town. Me no likey. Someone hit me with a zebra stick.

Also, Mac and zebra playing patty cake with scissors a few pages ago tells me they are probably not knowingly on the same team. I think zebra is the worse of the 2 tho, with her veiled taunting for us to lynch her. I think she is a cannbial.

I think you're ok. I think you're having fun at least, which for most people makes you good.

How do you know MP was town?

I don't. I had that idea in my head for some reason but yeah, all NK's are janitored on this site which I'm unused to.

Yeah, which even if you're scum could be legit cos there are two bad teams. Was just wondering.

For that reason, I don't think she's bad, and I don't think motel room 2 is.

What do you think of his assertion that zebra and Mac were performing a distancing spectacle?

I don't buy it.

At the time it came out of nowhere and escalated unreasonably, felt fake. Something I could see them both having a laugh about behind the scenes. Later on feelings seemed hurt so I'm not sure if it still works.

fwiw, there is a reasonable reason I'd accept there but soneji was in the thread for a little while after I posted that and has now gone. For posterity.

Pretty quick to pull that trigger. Also, what?

Just my two cents after the lynch. I'll be looking at him.

I'm not a fan of his voting record either, but his content has seemed genuine to me. I'll take a look at his ISO though and maybe I'll come up with a different perspective.

I don't understand. What is wrong with my voting record? I have been consistent. Explain please!

Consistent is bad though. Especially on Day 1 and 2.

Why? Did you find my ISO compelling? If so, what specifically compelled you to give sig your vote?

I do feel relatively confident in my findings, but I don't want to start a bandwagon here. Discussion should be had.

It was my gut first in a read through, then some of your ISO

But that underline is a bit of a back-pedal. I remember Sloonei saying that once when he was scum, like what he said and what he wanted to happen were two different things.

DFaraday wrote:I read over the last couple of pages and voted BR. I don't generally like going after low posters, but I think in this case there could be merit to doing so given the missed NK. I also didn't find the Sig case compelling, as in my experience civs often say vague things or make unannounced changes in their stances quite a lot (I know I do). Sig is so often mislynched anyway, I have a hard time actually finding him suspicious most of the time.

Motel, why was I on your bad list?

That post of yours where you overstated the obvious about how you were going to vote to get information cos information is good gotta get that information.

sig wrote:I do want to point out it seems that Zebra and myself were two counter wagons, but I don't think it very likely that the mafia would stack one of those wagons or push to hard.

What do you mean? I'm not sure how you can assume that.

Lynch is ending before i get up for work so im down to start the sig train

I don't do rainbows but this is what I've got scrawled from a read through starting somewhere during Night 1, already sort of said most of it

Good - quin, MP, scotty
Bad - metalmarsh, dfaraday, sig
Golden (vouched for) - Long Con, MP

Those are the 3 options I see here... I'm just not sure what to do with that. Might as well be playing lawn darts with the low posters, which I'm not sure is worth gambling with yet. Im keeping my eyes on Black rock, Boomslang and Soneji as suspects, but I'm not even close to pulling the trigger on any of them yet

This post feels like a presentation and it's got that here's a thing, but then here's the opposite of that thing structure that they do in cold reading.

Do you gain any potential alignment read from Scotty as a result?

And welcome back!

From his follow up chats, I'm into the guy.

Wait, sorry, I'm tired and dense right now. What do you mean by "into the guy"?

Means I like him, putting him as town for now.

I never once posted an opinion on the matter.

How come you're not interested in why she thinks you're bad and put a non-changeable vote down, Snow Dog?

DFaraday wrote:I'm sorry I missed the vote. The last day of work before break was hectic. Will catch up later today. I'm voting to learn more because more information is likely a good thing.

Actually, or this guy and his quest for information.

Think I'd vote metalmarsh if I had to vote right now

Welcome back!

In a way it is a presentation, of my thought process.

What do you think of said the thoughts i proposed?

I think they all could have happened - which do you think is the most likely?

You dropped three names and I think that's the substance of the post. What to do with that, we'll see.

There are only three protectors, and one of them would need to successfully target a kill sender with only a single day of gameplay information. If there were eight missing PMs, that's a lot more possibilities for missed kills.

What happened in Three Kingdoms?

Cos I think obviously there's "a baddie hidden among the inactives" cos there always is, but surely the start of the game with the most people alive and fresh why tf would anyone say out loud oh it must be the quiet people and be serious.

There was no kill on night 1 because all [3? 4?] baddies missed it. That game had a collosal lapse in sent actions if I recall.

Ok. The whole game or just at the start?

Where's the supertown that was campaigning for poor motel room [1]'s lynch? Is he still supertowning?

Guess who's back you wang-dang-doodles
