The Syndicate

ok so unrelated to the game but I have a small but insistent preference that my name be spelled with one L. It's a name I chose for myself, I'm very happy to have it and I think it suits me better than Allison with two Ls by a large margin. And I'm generally tired of people getting my name wrong IR...

for some reason I seem to be able to connect better with certain people's posts while others are just blanks/nulls and I like, instinctively skim over them.

dizzy, epi, dunya, tutuu etc. vs people like TSP/rej/LC who I legitimately can't seem to parse or read and want to engage with more

Dunya - Why are you dropping off, my love? Where you trying to make Mac and me look bad in the start of the game? Are you being a scummy scumbum? *Laser stare intensifies* Alison - Didn't mention Soneji much around when the shooting happened. Very singular focus on me. I had her connected with Mac,...

I see via quick scan I'm on Soneji's shit list too. Can anybody provide any reason why I'm Alien? Besides "vibes?" Well, master. You're kind of just on the outside, and you don't have a lot of impact or give the game much direction, is how I feel. More an observation than a read. A lot of...

i decided to put my paranoia aside because my town circle is too small. proto is lock town for me for this. This reeks of desperation to have a firm read or someone they can trust in a game that's filled with paranoia and uncertainty, which points strongly to "uninformed player". Not sure...

I think a POE like this is a solid starting point; Alison Carotenoid Protocultures Dunya Rej With Epignosis as a swing for Dunya if that's a miss. If Dyslexicon is mafia we probably never get there if Hally is town which is my most confident read and also I love Dizzy so fuck it. I feel like all co...

Meh, I'm not sure how to feel about Mac. I still think his earlier behavior was legitimately bad (and I don't understand why people are saying I'm overreacting or being overly harsh in my criticism of it), but it's improved a lot insofar as his posts have gone from basically word/read salad to, like...

This post is good and reflects the first reaction I had to LC's post as well.

Just finished page 18 - Hally, Epi and proto all scream town to me. I know some people suspect proto but I think this suspicion is largely unjustified and he's one of my top townreads. The sheer amount of effort and care put into trying to solve the game in favor of town, the reckless demands to sho...

This thread got a lot of new posts. I'll be doing my best to catch up ASAP.

@TSP, I am sad that you didn't take me up on my offer to talk more. After I catch up will you do so?

Hi TSP. I don't think we've talked much, I've been focused on other players (Epi/Dizzy/now Caro). I also feel like I've been skimming over a lot of your posts or don't really see much of importance in them, so I'm going to try to correct that and go over your posts more carefully. Do you still endor...

Not really - I did think dunya's push on Drago was pretty game-solvey and made me read them as town, but the main reason I myself suspected Dragomir was because of the Dizzy thing primarily

Now if Soneji flips alien, you prob should shoot me since I tried to push shot to epi. And then you can townread epi until I flip town. I don't know why you keep doing this wifomy preflip TMI shit when I've said twice it's scummy as hell. Do you think the paranoia/tinfoil stuff is faked? I think it...

2) I suspected Dragomir in the first place primarily because the response to some people scumreading him was for Dizzy (who I theorized to be his wolf partner) to immediately bus him (or so I thought at the time). This is why when I put Dizzy and Dragomir down as scum on my initial list, I listed t...

Maybe do something to show that my read on you is unjustified? Like dialing it 50 notches back on the "chaotic spamming" bit and 50 notches forward on the "explaining my reads in a logical manner" bit?

I think protocultures is pretty likely to be town actually. He exudes paranoia, which is really difficult to fake without sounding forced, and his paranoia doesn't sound forced.

@Alison, why go to such extent for Dyslexicon meta, but not with Epignosis meta? Why did you suspect Dragomir in the first place? You said « dyslexicon's "everyone is town or null except drago" readslist still reeks of bussing to me and I think there's a significant chance that they're pa...

Since the conversation has moved on, I see no reason in saying my theory about Epignosis. I think he was trying to be intentionally provocative to try to squeeze some kind of reaction out of me. It would explain the rapid escalation of hostility as well as the weird hangup about me "judging&quo...

I feel this one sounds like desperate try to shade Epi. My D1 reads on Epi were often on point and my gut tells me Epi is town and that Mac!alien throws a desperate shade. Hi, Rej. Are you scum? Yes/no. I feel yes, but you can talk me into a no. :noble: I am not scum. I am the towniest towny and I ...

I commend your work, Alison. But I have to say, I really don't think that is the most fruitful way to read me. Or it wouldn't be for me , anyway. You of course do as you please. If your point was more to get a sense of who I am as a player, that is fruitful probably. Also, I think you're looking at...

Since people aren't going to bother reading everything I wrote above - the long story short is that I was probably wrong about Dizzy and the claims they made about their meta do appear to be supported by evidence in their games and from reading them I can believe that they would behave the way they ...

S7 G5 (Town) - Dyslexicon opens the game by attacking Okosan before giving a single townread - "We should probably just speed lynch Okosan and get it done with." Tone is confident, little to no reason given and may well be a stretch, which is consistent with their attack on Dragomir at lea...

re: "5 year old meta GOAT" - I agree the later games are less worthwhile but the 2020/2019 games are well worth analyzing, and there might be some stuff they said back in 2015 that may indicate a general philosophy on mafia which may be game-relevant or which may still apply. At any rate I...

Meta trawl, most recent to least recent. I'm not counting the game we played together, because that one hasn't ended yet so it would be illegal to talk about it. S7 G5 - May 2020 (Town) Girl Genius - July 2019 (Town, then Mafia) ITA Death Mash - July 2019 (Town) Anonymous Petrology - July 2019 (Mafi...

This interaction seems like it’s quickly deteriorating past the point of usefulness tbh There's a reason I didn't engage much with the latest post. Either the meta read turns up clean, in which case I was wrong, or the meta read turns up dirty, in which case I'll have irrefutable evidence that Dysl...

if you have game links, post them so I can see them, else I'll just trawl through your MU profile

basically all your defenses of your behavior are "it's not in my meta to do that as scum" so you can consider #574 a general response to your defense post

for the record I really hate the little "this is a town tell for me" "I would never bus d0" stuff because it feels manipulative and I know a lot of people won't bother doing the work of checking up on your meta background to see if it's true. I'm going to actually do the work and...

Idk Alison I semi-regularly try to have 5+ townreads within 24ish hours when I’m trying to play a certain way, so Some people are just comfortable flinging reads around and seeing what sticks, that’s fine There was a second part of my case regarding why Dyslexicon's case against Dragomir feels forc...

ok so the dumb townread on alison is that she goes from No read on nanook -> "tutuu idk why r u townreading nanook for that" -> "i, alison townread nanook" with no explanation So in my mind if she was scum she would be more cosncious of how she comes off itt and would not make s...

Am currently at the top of page 4. My townpile is tutuu and nanook and my scumpile is nobody. Can you talk about your Nanook read? dyslexicon is scum with drago for this post That's creative. Also, I'm town, and you've played with me before. =) Nanook read - this is 50% tonal (good opener, engaged ...

moving dunya to the top of my town pile for the initial drago callout that caused the slot to spiral this badly. Unless dunya is like the most eager busser of all time I have a really hard time seeing that as coming from anything but town

Good night Epi :hugs: Funny how me and epi are going to bed at the same time but 6hrs apart. Dunya: Be wolfy Epi: You're mafia Dunya: Oh sugar beer come cuddle me bb Mafia nobody throws out reads that rapidly and that confidently unless they're making them up - you aren't even taking time to read t...

I used to play mafia on Flow. Poop flinging is a way of life there.

How do you go from this normally yes but I feel like I need a hefty amount of experience with epi to be able to tell if his play up til now is indicative of town or scum to this? I think I understand what Epi is trying to do here and if my theory is correct he's town Because I came up with new idea...

That's fine. Operating as normal is fine. There is no normal between Alison and me. We have no history. "I feel like I need a hefty amount of experience with epi to be able to tell if his play up til now is indicative of town or scum" This is useless. Alison is not going GET ANY amount of...
