The Syndicate

nutella wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 9:58 pm I'm mostly just disappointed that I did reach the correct team in the end and would definitely have shot correctly and I just didn't realize we were out of saves, so if I had gotten there just one phase earlier it'd be a win.

Look at it this way. This was basically "Spec Chat: The Game". You're playing with a bunch of townies who don't have to hold themselves accountable at all so when you're wrong and they're right "it was obvious, you should have listened etc." The pressure of being the leader and key decision maker forces you to consider things that others don't ever have to. I particularly was playing a scummy game on the surface, so those who really don't have to try to make considerations can afford to just go "meh this guy looks scum", but you had to explore the possibility that I wasn't, and that is why you didn't, because that is the game I was playing. To make someone who looks for me to be town, find evidence of such.

I am very sorry the game went the way that it did for you Nutella. Basically having the crossvote lylo in your hands for 8 days would be torture. That you managed to do this while putting up formidable efforts in so many other games is incredible.

That game was very fun to play in no small part because Alison is an incredible mafia player and teammate and carried a great deal of the analysis.

When I agreed to sub into this game, of course I had no idea what I was getting myself into. When I realised I was subbing into a dead to rights scum slot my first tactic was basically to just let my team destroy me. At one point I was posting literally thinking I was outing. I only changed tack when I realised that Nutella was a chance of not shooting me. At that point I decided to just extreme distance from Soneji and Rej who I couldn't really find a way to get a town read onto. I don't like to bus, but if I am going to, it's in a game where I don't have to actually vote (and in a situation where it makes no sense to like here).

My tactic in this game after that was simply to pocket Nutella. Nothing more or less. I gave very little fucks about what others thought of me. I just did things over and over again in the interests of what I thought would make Nutella town read me.

I did not fake the anger I had at Epi. I was having a terrible day and it spilled over. Epi is one of the players that when they go after you it fucking HURTS to deal with. I was out of line and my apology was earnest. I am very sorry that I did that.

The "ATE" where I was talking about having a panic attack etc, was pretty much fake yeah. I really couldn't think of anything else to say. Alison wasn't privy to me doing that but once I had done it, I came up with a plan for her to concoct a huge bullshit case on Proto and just go hard in the paint on him and bullshit town clear me just in case there were bunker saves left because I asked her to. From her perspective she was just trolling entirely with that Proto case, there was no earnest attempt there for her to get Proto shot because she was adamant the game was over. The whole goal on my end was to make Proto look like her partner and to make it look like she was distancing him as she was dying.

I get that we're the nice guys of mafia here and I respect that as much as anyone and love playing here. I went way off my own code in this game. I don't apologise for the ate but directly insulting someone is definitely out of line. I don't apologise for the ate stuff because sometimes you have to go elsewhere. Alison deserved a partner that was willing to and we went through hell to win this game after that day 1.

I lost no respect for anyone and this was one of the most challenging game experiences I've ever been a part of.

Thanks for making be sub in DDL.

Sorry guys. Gg all.

Was a blast and glad I did manage to get the team finally even if only when too late.

Any chance the last shot was going anywhere except Nutella?

No we mapped out this plan when we shot her twice the night before.

I see spec chat is all up in arms about some of my tactics.

To that I say. Meh. Get gud.

Alison is one of the best teammates I've ever had

Ugh what a war

End dat night

Thank fuck

Yeah they don't have flips on DM and it works fine. We do it occasionally here depending on the host. Just not common.

We rarely do flipless. It's definitely something we should do more especially when we have strong playerlists.

Alison wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 6:03 am page 90 is literally just proto outing himself as wolf

if you don't see that and aren't willing to re-evaluate then don't put the blame on me when you end up losing the game. bye

Outing himself as a new syndicator you mean

Hats off to the aliens whoever they are. They probably deserve to win more than we do.

Well that's very nice

Ok I trust you

So how do you like it here Proto?

You are probably right. I'm just throwing shit at the wall at this point.

It's really just Alison/Carot.

Nut will shoot Alison. If there is a tomorrow I'll try to not lose the game lol.

See ya.

Remember when Proto/Epi were tunneling each other for the first 3 days and that whole thing just disappeared. Pepperidge farm remembers.

Wait what if it's Epi/Carot and she just lied about protecting him?

Omfg

Are you saying epi shoots Hally?

Lol why are you so obsessed with reading the whole game off the n1 kill?

The answer is almost surely no. I am just paranoid.

Fuck it shoot Epi. How is he not dead.

Wait what if it's Epi/Carot and she just lied about protecting him?

God what am I doing with my life

Lol that last post sounds like it was written in a scum post generator.

Views on my pure read and sample size and Alison's refusal to provide links? Aggressiveness seems to have suddenly spiked through the roof.

@MacDougall

Everything about her posting right now screams agenda. I am pretty sure she's outing and trying to wifom me shot.

We're never getting there on you so no point.

Carot has felt very pure but Nutella was right about her EOD yesterday and opening here. I had the exact same thought.

I don't know what Proto's range is but I don't know if legit anyone has what he's done in his mafia range.

Alison is alien or we lose basically.

In the space of 2 hours, you go from scum reading me (last evidence from your post that my violin pic was "fake town") to being town. This type of progression is weird. Sorry Mac if you are town I still can't see it.

Hmmm. This is town. Wrong, but town.

Alison suddenly shifting to townread me while pushing on Proto makes me think she's trying to make me look worse.

So Carot/Alison then.

I guess.

I think she is trying to make me look like her partner.

I think Alison is outed but I cannot figure out which of the others is her partner. Nothing makes a great deal of sense.

nutella wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 12:50 am I'm honestly not sure about the extent to which Mac has such a code though. On the one hand he does so much to welcome new members to our community and loves playing with new people, but on the other hand he is a hardcore player who will do what it takes to win, so I don't think I would put it past him to deliberately make that kill for the wifom. I also don't really think it's particularly productive to continue harping on this single sticking point because if he is an alien he will react to this post with incredulity and do his darndest to AtE me into clearing him.

Hally was lock town reading me iirc. That's the main reason you should be reading me town off that kill.

I would kill a new player if I had to. I didn't have to.

Iso on Hally shows they were not lock town reading you.

If you are in too many games and need a quick "clear", would killing Hally be something mafia Mac might do?

Man. If I wanted a kill to give me a quick "clear" I kill Dunya. The fact that Dunya never died here is a pretty strong indicator of my alignment.

This last 2 weeks have been so bad irl and I've been like doing my best here and sort of trying to use mafia to take my mind off things and im just having a full meltdown no omg im sorry

I need to compose myself I am actually shaking uncontrollably right now

It will take me decades to recover from the pain I will feel if Nutella shoots me to lose the game after riding with me for 7 fucking days holy shit.

I saved Nutella last night. I have 1 bunker left. I am not an alien. Do not shoot me. Not after all you've taken me through god damn you.

I'll be right back

Ugh ugh ugh

Ugh

I declare a gif war. All players post nothing but gifs all phase and the person who makes nutella laugh the least gets shot.

i'm townreading this lol

Nah dog, you can't be townreading shit so asinine this late in the game. The aliens who are here are demonstrably good at seeming townie. This is fake.

damn this is the longest game ever

I think it's Proto and Alison

I already flipped lol

Oof gg to the aliens for real. I dunno what else to say. It doesn't matter who it is it's impressive as fuck.

It feels like it.

Do we need to consider whether Epi is an alien here?

No

Hmmmm
