The Syndicate

How...convenient.

I realize that what I just did was entrapment but apparently I’m giving in to my worst instincts this game

It's the read I trust most right now. I don't have any strong wolf reads.

I mean I feel like you probably should be on radishes given your posts, but maybe you’re trying to avoid voting a partner idk

Or you’re scared I’ll be able to successfully push my reads D2 and want to avoid a wasted NK, could be that too.

So many options!

Ok, I’ll move to radishes

If you’re offering to trade you taking your vote to radishes if I’ll move my vote there too, the answer is sure

He's stomping around and saying things but they don't seem important and I haven't been able to follow the thread very well.
This is incorrect

I’m graceful af
True. That wasn't kosher. I apologize.

It’s ok, I’m not Jewish

Look chuck I respect your remorse but I also am not voting because of anything you said so I’m going to ignore it and blindly continue on with my OMGUS

Fine, I'll stop being boneheaded about it. I'm not tunnelling. I just suspect you. Is that okay?

I honestly don't know how you enjoy the game if you get so upset that you have to leave the thread any time someone suspects you.

Fuck it let’s kill nutella?

It is pretty shitty to TK someone based on “he’s a good wolf so we can’t let him get to late game”

Especially when that someone is being pretty towny

I agree.
It seems NAI at a glance, but I guess you could argue if he's town he may be basing it off of his own role. However, if that's the case wouldn't that make Nutella/Nanook people to look into?
If he’s mafia he just saw two people, at least one of whom is town, agree in quick succession that Alex Jones wouldn’t be town. Going against the grain like that doesn’t make much sense for scumTony to do imo.
well, that's just, like, your opinion man

being contrary looks towny and is easy to fake

But personally I think this whole interaction is NAI as well as anything else about freaking Alex Jones.

In general sure. In this specific context I don’t think so.

Fwiw I’m pretty sure hyena is town

I don’t really TR 112 so I could get behind that TK. Certainly better than an MP kill imo

Now I have an actual TR on mp

"I scumread you because you are dealing with issues that scumpeople have."

"Nah fam that ain't me."

linki: this is about my nanook response
To be fair he did the same thing in the other game I played with him. Where, admitelly, he was bad. But it seemed like he as being honest about his opinion on scumhunting.

Nanook doesn't believe in scumhunting early game. He would rather spend the first few days meme'ing and spamming the thread until some scum randomly dies, where he will then employ hard logic and wagonomics to puzzle who the remaining scum is.

I expect him to start yelling at us for not following his specific wagonomics strategy about... 3 days from now.

There is also a 50% chance he will yell at me in a few minutes for not being accurate enough in my description of his thought proccess. He tends to be touchy about that too.

How could you so blatantly misrepresent my approach, wow, this is maybe the most trash opinion I’ve seen today and that’s saying something.

Generally speaking, one of the harder things for me to do as scum is make up reasons to scumread the town players. I also have trouble with being on the wrong side of history in lynches. It's why I like playing scum in multi-team games better than in normal games, because I can actually hunt.

What you're doing here is not hunting or committing to anything, and that skews scum.
That’s cool.

I don’t have that issue.
... nice response.

Light scumread.

I mean, you’re SRing me based on your own weaknesses. I don’t have a problem going after townies as scum

I’m not interested in defending the theory beyond this or arguing semantics over lurker vs no poster or whatever. If you want my vote to move, make a case I believe in
That problem doesn't exist when replacements exist though. We could get a Sloonei in here.
It still exists—that slot will have a day less to read them on than anyone else, and replacing into a vacant scum slot is actually a bit of an advantage
Then provide an opportunity for a vig to handle it.

If we lynch the slot, we'll be going in blind, AND have one less day of interactions w/ the dead to work with.

I know this is just mechanical ideal-play stuff and doesn't have too much to do with alignment, but I'd like to see who everyone would lynch in the ACTIVE playerbase. For the sake of reads and such.

At the very least, who would you lynch, if not for lurkers? Who do you suspect?

If I had a good suspect among the active players I’d be voting them

15 player game that isn’t my design...probably 3 scum. Maybe an Indy given syndicate’s love of indies.

"Lurker" implies something different from "literally has not seen that the game started" which is what I would guess is the case here.

I see no meaningful distinction and I’m not interested in arguing the semantics of what does and doesn’t constitute a lurker vs an absentee vs a low poster.

urge to policy TK Nutella increases

Eh, maybe. This is starting to feel like angleshooting even for an open claim game, but then again I am basing a strong town read of LC partially on that initial post on the subject.

It probably is tbh, but uh....I’m not above it from time to time

MP pocketed me by locking me as town and laughing at my jokes tbh

I’m pro-lurker kills

Tony saying he thought Alex Jones would be town read as a not-scum thing to say imo, especially since it came after me and nutella said the opposite

*clear

That was me calling a poison vote to be ear

Moving off a joke long con vote, I’d like to kill the lurker

If tony is not town I’m guessing he’s 3p rather than mafia, so I’m not super interested there tbh

Let's not turn all discussion of me into metagame discussion of Alex Jones. That's not a mafia game I want to be in.

It was too good of a joke to pass up
