The Syndicate

Man, I am not playing that game. You haven't come up with one good reason for why I should be lynched, just a blatant misreading of what I said. I don't owe you shit and if you kill me all you'll do is demonstrate exactly how unhelpful you are to the town.

You have asked me or wondered aloud now three times about what I am doing. I haven't answered you. There's a damn good reason for that. Were I to answer, the mafia now know what I am doing. Thanks, but no thanks. I mean, why say this? Whether they know what you're doing or not, you are advertising ...

Do y'all even read the thread or what. Let me go quote myself.

Y'all, this condescending stuff is not gonna fly, I don't need to be in this game. I don't see what I'm not communicating here. It is really, really strange for a townie, no matter the phase, to come into the thread and advertise themselves alone as a threat to the mafia. If you really think you ha...

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 10:46 pm I believe that was Colin's initial point against Epi (but he added some weird stuff to his argument which I'll ignore now because we're discussing this 1 point).

Anything I can address? I understand that maybe I'm not being as clear as I think I am.

My one-off power is a lynch switch. I fully intend on using that today. I am going to decide who gets lynched if I don't see a lynch poll that I like. Colin is probably going to die. dunya maybe. I am here to burn out like a firework on the fourth of July. And I am drunk. And I will be drunk tomorr...

I don't do elaborate iso analyses like some other people, I just skim it and write out general impressions, maybe with one or two quotes, so it doesn't take very long :shrug: I didn't feel that way reading your Dr. White iso today. It felt pretty comprehensive, though non-conclusive. Even after ISO...

@ColinIsCool the only thing I don't get is why you brought the nightkill into it when we were barely halfway into the day phase? I straight up don't understand this question any time anybody's asked it. Because the things you do in the day phase affect how the mafia perceives you and if you get nig...

Adjust behavior accordingly ... as in, maybe night kill him? Weren't you just saying you don't understand what I was saying about that? No. What I am talking about has nothing to do with night kills. I am saying that there are responsive capacities to whatever reads Epi might derive from his exerci...

Ah, btw, when I said "voted for him" in my last point I meant "voiced suspicion of him," that was a typo.

Oh my God there were so many new posts just now. Give me a minute in case anybody asked me anything that I didn't address ...

Those of you who are asking me to name names need to go back and see where I said I'd pick random names, because I don't know you. I said this directly in an exchange about all of this explaining why I thought it was suspicious.

Epignosis, I have no reason to trust you and even less when you refuse to answer my questions. I think you can understand that because you think I'm suspicious for not answering yours, no? Whatever you think my post implies, what I am saying is that I am suspicious of your exercise and of you. And ...

Colin and nutella talk about each other plz The main thing I don't like is broadcasting the indecision that much, but that might be a meta I'm unaware of. Looking through the ISO I gotta say I don't like either the vote for Mac or for TSP, though. They seem like shaky cases. I am sympathetic, thoug...

To clarify my suggestion earlier was that moving forward when we vote, instead of bolding or whatever we just say something like Aubergine Vote Ronald Reagan so that the admin can easily find votes and tally them that way instead of having to sift through page after page to verify whether we got the...

Well, maybe, but they're also the remaining four who haven't said anything re: Epignosis' request, so I want to know why nutella thinks they need to answer it and why not answering it makes them seem suspicious.

I looked at nutella's ISO because of that post and to me, it's characterized mostly but non-commitment. So far she's made two votes this one for Mac , which demonstrates my point nicely. Look at these phrases: "Can't decide how to feel," "Maybe it's excusable," but apparently it...

at least one of these people has got to be mafia. get in here and talk

I pretty much retired from RYMafia before analyzing metas were a thing so I don't know. It's an odd statement to make but it's also an odd statement for a scum to stick their neck out on.

Nope, not on RYM that I can recall, other games on other forums where I got my ass handed to me by some really manipulative “supertown” SOBs.

I think that the nation assignments (the ones we see anyway) are all random so I don't know if that's such a good course to go down, it's not like other games where there are guaranteed x number in a certain faction.

I won't say more until Epignosis explains the exercise himself, but I can conceive of some productive applications of it beyond these obvious count-based ideas being fielded. Do we find out that the Don is the Don if they’re killed? Because that’s the only way it would be useful, but even then, we’...

Graduated with 2 majors (English and journalism) and 2 minors (American studies and philosophy). Currently unemployed and playing Mafia!

Oh wait, Sloonei isn't in this game, I have to pick another one up. JJJ is the likeliest candidate but putting him and Dunya on a scum team is probably predictable, so I'll choose MacDougall instead. I don't know why but I always want to be on his good side. Also, I've been scum with him before, so...

(In general the interactions between Mac and others are not adding up, including to Mac himself, and pursuing something there, between those players, might be the best route to go.) This is poorly phrased; when I say “to Mac himself” I mean that Mac is not absolved of all suspicion, but the whole t...

Thanks JJJ. I can’t say I’m persuaded by anything you said, especially your notions about dunya’s activity (I guess our experiences with mafia just diverge here because I’ve seen it more than just once) but I appreciate it.

JJJ, what’s the difference between your tiers of green? Are you saying you have “very strong” town reads on 4 players, somehow, and “also town” reads on 10 more? Tiers can be translated to: ~ This is a strong civilian read ~ ~ I lean in the civilian direction ~ ~ This is not a civilian read ~ Care ...

BTW, since we are already demonstrating that we’ll screw up the vote tally and the GM definitely should keep track independently, what about including a tag-word any time a person votes so they can ctrl f them all easily? Something that we wouldn’t say in any mafia context, like “asparagus.” Just a ...

I really want others to tell me whom they would choose if they were mafia recruiters. Please do that.

Why do you want to know this?

But Kites' message there makes me think gender will play more of a role in the game than I would have thought from what I got. If you read JOH's flavor message to commence Day 1, he specifically used male and female pronouns so yes, character gender will be relevant. "Thumb now looked exactly ...

I don’t really feel like I can trust JJJ right now. That MacDougall line of interrogation seems like a whole lot of latching onto nothing just to make it appear as if there’s a semi-reasonable case . Although if I were mafia in this game I would probably take advantage of the set-up confusion some ...

JJJ: sorry, I erased a sentence in there and didn’t ever rephrase it. Your assertions of being super town and huge level of activity (note: dunya also has earned this vibe) seem sketchy. I’ve seen in almost every game I’ve ever played that mafioso/anti-town who wants to be a leader and it’s an auto...

ColinIsTown I hate that post. Why do you like it? Of course you do. It's about how he suspects you. I see the civvie wheels turning in that post. Sincerity abounds in the tone and I feel that his opinions are naturally derived. No, it's about his read stemming from things that don't exist or are ot...

Looks like I got the idea from Mac actually so that’s my bad. MacDougall: if you were the don and you had to pick 4 scummates, who would you have chosen? Probably a wifom mix. Everyone would assume Jimmy would get picked so why pick him? Probably gwilikers6, RDW, you and Wilgy. You mostly so you wer...

When Mafia first started on RYM I was able to ball out and do ridiculous gambits because I had played in a lot of games on different forums for years beforehand. Now it’s like 7 (?) years later and it’s like y’all have been training in the gym every day since while I’ve been eating Cheetos on a sofa.

I don’t even remember how you’re supposed to confidently lynch somebody on Day 1. Just please don’t have it be me?
