The Syndicate

@Nacho : You look to rely a lot on an ability to townread and then use PoE, even this early. How much weight do you give to conscious vs unconscious scum moves? I have noticed that you approach people's posts as if you were scum in their shoes and make your read based on if you think they'd conscio...

Town is a word that's interchangeable with civilian, apologies for failing my vocabulary test there. I think that my train of thought is pretty weird - there's no reason for Quin to expect anyone like me to exist of have that train of thought, is there? I find voting to find the answer to whether v...

Also of note, I won't be here that much tomorrow (assuming deadline is when the poll expires) - I have work until the deadline and don't have the type of job that I can post from easily and so if you have any burning questions or things you want to bring up or talk, ask them in the next hour; I'll t...

I think that this point is a good one.

I don't mind slower paces but I get antsy as shit when deadline approaches and I don't have a vote I feel even vaguely positive about. So do I and it is a problem when there is less than 24 hours and I don't have a single bad lean yet. If I had the ability to vote without committing I'd be voting M...

And, while I'm at it: MovingPictures, would you mind elaborating on your LC town lean a little more? I understand there might not be much behind it, but what do you think of him scumreading DrWigly early? It seems to me that DrWigly doing something weird (like not reading his role PM) isn't really ...

also MM i think we did play together :o

At this point I also feel obligated to apologize for how frequently I post, have tried to artificially reduce the number of times I post in the past but I find playing unnaturally kills the quality of my play and I'd rather not do that in my first game on this site (and am generally not convinced th...

To elaborate further: I suppose I've enjoyed the fluffy and slow paced nature of the game so far. Me too. The recent lull in games filling up have reminded me that a game doesn't need 800 pages for you to find the baddies, and a slower pace can actually be fun! Besides, I'll be getting distracted e...

This interests me, because at this point in the thread these are my only two reads, and I ping town on both. My read on MovingPictures had a bad expectation right in the middle of it, so it's unsurprising that you disagreed with that read. My read on LongCon seems to suffer the same issue, although...

As for the lynch, are there any volunteers? There's a lot of fluff happening so far (which I don't mind, just an observation), so it's possible that I'm clinging to anything that seems the slightest bit alignment indicative, but I liked this. I think it's something that baddies would be less likely...

Right I'm gonna hit the sack. See you all tomorrow. Linki. Because as you said, why would a baddie vote for himself when he can throw his vote on a civ. Not sure what "linki" means. My bad. I thought that was what we did. It was, I just didn't know what it meant when you posted it. Thanks...

I got a role from another game. Do you think llama messed up? So what happened? Did he? I don't think he did. I did roll-claim earlier, so I'll just let you guys decide. WTF? Ok i'll have to read back tomorrow. no he posted a picture of a roll he "roll claimed" as in claimed to be a roll

I self-voted for the sake of figuring out whether they're changeable or not. Votes are not changeable. It seems like there's some disagreement over whether this is a good or bad move. I find it rash; why vote solely for that purpose when there's still over 24 hours of daytime to go? Surely someone ...

Ah, I forgot about that.
That seems reasonable enough.

Hi Golden!
Do you have any thoughts yet?

If you were just trying to clear up a question, why not ask the moderator? Why not reread the rules?

Motel Room, did Long Con's posts make you fall asleep?

I wish we had changeable votes. Hey Snow Dog, what's up buddy? Are you bad? Bad to the bone! No, are you? What do you think about MM's claim to have been sent the wrong role? Why do you think that MM's claim about being sent the wrong role has anything to do with his alignment? I'm just pursuing so...

I'm liking Boomslang coming into thread and pushing back, though and am excited to see more from him - if he clears himself sufficiently, the probability of a successful drunk darts game jumps up to 44% and I'm one step closer to that elusive 50% (which is probably the best I can hope for at this po...

Looking back over earlier d0-d1 material and I'm really not finding anything but inconclusive fluff. There's just nothing here. Mostly. I feel comfortable enough with townreads on you/Mac/Quin, which, if they are correct, gives me a 41% chance of hitting a baddie if I throw drunk darts at the rest ...

And I'm not telling you or arguing for you to discount anything, to be clear. But, at the end of the day, it's Day 1; you won't get confident reads today. At some point you need to be able to go "okay, I think this is more likely to come from town as opposed to scum" and take a leap of fai...

It looks like I'm your town buddy by default since no one else is around

Motel Room is a town read. I don't think Hotel Room would make an appearance if he was Mafia. And ... not sure on MP. His reaction to being Mafia read at this juncture in previous games needs to be compared to here. His responses seem sincere but I expect he could get away with feigning sincerity i...

He doesn't really have any game relevant posts yet. Does he typically replace out when Mafia?
Are you still scumreading MovingPictures?

Or, worse yet, wake up on someone else's lawn.

At least you didn't fall asleep on the grass!

To elaborate further: I suppose I've enjoyed the fluffy and slow paced nature of the game so far, ironically, since I'm usually one of the folks complaining about that. Last few games I've played got intense and posty pretty quickly, so it was a nice change of pace. I always find myself overanalyzi...

To answer your question as to why I'm reading Mac civilian, it's a very slight read because Mac is a master of his own meta. Nonetheless, I like that he was willing to throw out the observation regarding LC and then tried to get on-topic discussion going on Epignosis as well. It's all in character,...

I'm not sure "gut read" is sufficient for me, Nacho, can you at all elaborate on any of those assessments? What about those posts in which you declared gut reads specifically made you feel good/bad about them? I've done my best in explaining why I'm leaning the way I am on certain people;...

Regarding Nacho's first mega-post: DrWilgy, Metalmarsh89, and Vompatti are the three players here unarguably least afraid to dabble with WIFOM, so take that as you will. Vompatti's approach to the game is perhaps the most unconventional of anyone at this site. Metalmarsh89 has a bad record of getti...

Civllians: MacDougall - I like that he is the first one who has been aggressive about a real read even if I don't necessarily agree with it (his Epi read). I also thought his response to Moving's "let's work together!" post (I'm not working with you because I think you're scummy) is towni...

Do you have any gut pings beyond moving-scum, Epi-scum?

MacDougall wrote:Nachos Grande what you sayin bout that epi post?

I liked it. Gut read.
