The Syndicate

I tried but keeping the flappy mouth shut isn’t always my strong suit lol.

I tried very hard not to interact with or about her since I know I over explain so thought avoiding her completely was the best course of action. I tried to ignore you too, and Falcon (except I fucked that up lol).

It was super hard to tell the difference between real Michelle sus and faux. Like the last day I kept waffling over Nutella’s vote for her.

I’m glad we didn’t have to keep voting, not sure I ever would have come to leetic and Syn came in very towny.

Him = leetic.

Woo Good play by Epi, it cleared him for me.

And @falcon45ca not sure if I’m the one that got you killed, I kneejerk protected you when someone was sussing you and I tried to pull back from it and that prolly made it worse. I even PMed the spec chat via the host when I did it like, “Doh I’m an idiot”.

But you did win!

I just saw the poll runs to tomorrow.

Well now I was kinda into voting for Nutella, but I can move back for a bigger wagon.

[VOTE: Daisuke ] aubergine

It's become hard to tell

I don't really think this was "mafia" per se, lol.

I still have a POE, I just don't talk much about it.

Long Con wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 2:32 pm Of course, we could all just [VOTE: nutella] aubergine. Right?

I’ll be in and out of here the rest of the day, but I can start consolidating now. If the wind blows another way, I’ll be back to move.

No one seems to see what I see re Dai anyhow.

[VOTE: nutella] aubergine

...especially when everyone is voting for silly reasons the first few days.

I appreciate the effort Dai took on that post, but i don't really find it applicable tbh. Except that like I said I find it clearing for leetic/syn.

Hoping there is some consolidation. I'll pop back in to move if need be.

Yeah but none of those people were yeeted

Bussing to my mind is voting to yeet your partner . The only one that clears somewhat to me is leetic/syn. Epi voted there to potentially save, and he realistically could have. That would make no sense in this set up.

Just randomly voting for a partner with no other other votes isn’t bussing imo.

We have reasons to not suspect LongCon.

And maybe SVS isn't the best lynch until much later.

I am still at Leetic/Falcon.

I say we start putting players in ties for the lolz.

Do you think wolves don’t vote for each other?

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 11:05 am We could line up some yeets. Not falcon? How about Michelle? After Dai if course.

Like i said, I could be wrong, and my gut has been a zero this game. I think I still have residual guilt from Falcons lynch last game, and residual guilt is a game to game carryover thing for me 100%. And theres one of my town tells

In any case setting a line up is kinda the opposite of what we should be doing, it's too close to a rainbow list and saying stuff like that ^^ is why I sus Daisuke in the first place

BUT I could be 100% wrong. I'm totally gut this game and can't pin down much.

I have not found that, and would not he happy voting there.

OK Imma [VOTE: jack] aubergine in the interests of solidarity.

But if any/all of you choose to reread Daisuke and see what I see, I'd be happy to switch back.

No dats a good point. Hrm.

After a wolf dies, it’s pretty apparent reading back when they’ve been buttering people up.

At least I think so.

Wow what did I even say? I’ll stay where I am for now but will pop in if I need to change.

I am stuck at work, will pop in again. So I’ll stay landed.

Not liking Dais iso more than disliking others ISO’s.

I see 7 votes?

I read back through Jack, and didn't see anything that was alarming. I'm more conflicted on Leetic.

I will consolidate if need be, but I'm [VOTE: Dai] aubergine at this time.

I've sussed them previously, those things didn't go away, and that "Oh he pocketed me so hard" when I don't think any such thing happened, struck me as a preemptive defense.

daisukenowaifuke wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2025 12:29 am I would love to be Foxy's yapping successor, but I lost sight of the direction this game was going after Epi. I don't even understand how anyone caught him. I was so deeply pocketed by him.

I just reread him and I don’t see where he pocketed you. I see where he agreed with your positions, but that felt more like partnering than pocketing tbh.

I have no clue. It's D1 anyway. In a normal game, it's understandable to be mislynched on D1.

1/10 on drive.

Probably not voting you. Will pick someone else later. Tired.

Like this, his initial vote felt performative as did his “why shouldn't I vote for you” thing.

Especially after your reply and he backs right off.

nutella wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2025 6:30 pm i believe it is long con

I could see it. He was sooper invested in getting people worked up about Foxy, and then he was like "eh, you're not bad are you Foxy?" But he did vote Epi fairly early though and iirc he stayed there

I read back some overnight, I will read some more.

If you flip town I keep my suspicion on Leetic

Are legacies just forgotten on this site

No, but she didn’t have info. She could be wrong. You take it into consideration but ultimately you are responsible for your own vote.

I personally suspect you not just on gut (and gut is part of it) but also due to your efforts to stop the chop of Epi and attempting to shut down discussion of him, even when he wasn’t the focus.

You try to throw the thread into chaos, especially at eod, and chaos tends to benefit wolves.

you’ve been the main topic of conversation the last two days, and a prominent topic the days prior.

Like I said, I think you will flip assassin, but if you don’t, that tells me that someone else was potentially pushing you as a distraction.

But we can’t spend another day talking about you, as charming and amusing as you may be. And if you’re town, you know that.

True, which is why I stopped bothering after TSP flip

New day, same vote. [VOTE: foxy] aubergine

I think I'm OK where I am.

@Long Con you know what, scratch that. I don't know what I'm doing asking that question.


Ignore previous question, duh. I'll just read

@Long Con van you explain why you changed your mind (IF you can, I get it if you can’t) since the progression there is rather vague and so is TSPs iso lol

I’ll move before EOD if that’s what we’re doing. I just don’t understand what changed (and again, I realize that I may not know for … reasons … but thought I’d ask if it’s something that can be said).

Oh he voted Nutella! Hrm.

So LC changed his mind, it looks like?

I guess I’ll reread TSP. Were there any red flags or is it just low posting? How did he vote yesterday?

Gonna go look.

Oooh what happened? The wagon moved overnight.

Going to read!

[VOTE: Foxy] aubergine it seems that today is the day.

And btw, I absolutely love your profile pic, Foxy.

@Dragon D. Luffy yes, that is exactly right. Ship (boat, relationship); sheep (wooly, related to goats). I work with a woman from Venezuela, Spanish first language, not Portuguese, but she says it like the same word, too. When she learned the word "creepy", everyone and everything was "crippy", it was so cute, she's such a sweetie.

My vote on Michelle is real. I don't sense the "good" Michelle. Michelle seems annoyed to be here. That doesn't bode well.
falcon won't leave me the fuck alone right now, which is probably a good sign (or maybe we'd be good drinking buddies?)

New thoughts. Have them.

Why do you think Foxy is Town? (re: Roxy typo, same )

9 million posts in this setup can't be wrong. I'm not bothering with that if I'm bad (shit, I'm not bothering with that if I'm good).

As an aside, I am so glad people don't make 200,000 posts a Day anymore. That depressed me. Especially when I can't keep up with my own games I'm hosting.

But I'm sticking to my guns- Thunal was good (called it) and I think Foxy is too. There's an energy that does not need to be there if Foxy is evil, and more than that, Foxy looked bad after Day 1. Nothing about that screams good strategy.

Here’s a bit more of that convo. Since when is “good strategy” a requirement for being bad? I have shitty or zero strategy when bad

daisukenowaifuke wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2025 12:02 am [VOTE: TSP] aubergine

He is the last mafia. In my theory of there being one high posting Assassin and one lowposting Assassin, TSP and Epi fits. Plus, I think his posts of being oblivious are performative.

And I have a theory that it is one established Syndicate player, and one new to us player! So you or Foxy.

Actually, I kinda do think it is you or Foxy, but not for that reason, and that would be a silly theory. But that's really no different than saying baddies are distributed by opposing post counts; it's random, and possible, but it is also possible it's 2 high posters, or two Syndicate longtimers. It's an exceedingly random reason to sus a person.

I'm staying where I am for now, like i said, nothing has changed for me re Dai. And I was just looking at the poll thread, Epi voted for Daisuke Day 1, the only person to do so. Potential distance vote?

I feel better about Leetic, both he and Epi are rational players, and somewhat powerhouse. My earlier waffle post re leetic still applies.

After that Foxy "You spewed your king" post, on top of that chaos fest eod Day 2, hrm. On top of the Day 1 aggro push on the person who tried hardest to present us with a strategy. And now the, "Trust me! I'll explain it all in the postgame!!". Yeah, ok. You do that.

But I don't want a runaway train until everyone weighs in.

Evidently, your vote on me shows who you distrust. Unless, you're performing for the assassins?

Yes, I did think it would be great to confirm with each other, otherwise, how will we find the guards before it's too late for town to win?

So, if someone thinks your idea is of sharing info about people we trust is sus (which I do), you're implying that makes them an assassin?

We don't have to find the guards, we have to find the assassins, and kill them without them figuring out who his majesty is.

We have 3 hours (a bit less actually) till end of day. At this time I'm good with my vote. I have to run a few errands but should be back in plenty of time if adjustments have to be made.

I am still waiting for that town case on Leetic

That seemed to be his pattern; anytime anyone but one of his tunnelled suspects was getting votes, he came in like, "Wait! I saw something in their ISO! I think they're town!". Perhaps (assuming Foxy to be town) he was just trying to be a hero and catch the person he was tunnelling by keeping the focus on them, perhaps he really saw something and did not wish to reveal it in thread for reasons.

Yesterday he said to someone regarding another person (I'm not gonna go searching the 83 billion posts for it), "I'll talk about it after the game", and this switched a light on in my head much later. I get that. I saw a few things I won't be discussing till after the game, either. Or maybe I'm being too charitable, but we all know THAT never happens ha ha.

Today I plan to get my own receipts, with this specific set up, it can be hard to bring the receipts to the table, though, since the thing a person sees may be dangerous to the king. I'm gonna do alot of reading today (inc Leetic) and hope everyone else does, too.

And when I do make a serious vote, I will make it very clear
