The Syndicate

his iso*

[VOTE: DJ Neutron Star] aubergine

let's look at DJNS. what i see in their iso (it's short, if you wanna read it) is someone who is clearly reading the thread but who has expressed very few opinions. i also see someone who is having trouble coming up with things to say. for example: Neutron's call out on PSInightmare look more like d...

a big part of my reread was to distinguish chardonnay from cassowary in my mind XD. it worked. incidentally, i've noticed that several people have had trouble keeping those two straight, and i wonder if this might not be alignment indicative in some way. at least, if one of them flips mafia, i would...

did a reread and here's a rough ordering before i go to bed.

cayvie
carotenoid
DDL
PSINE
Fatmo
chardonnay
Alison
Nutella

_________would vote below this line
Long Con
UG
Jack

_________would happily vote below this line

cassowary
Wilgy
DJNS
Jiwon

(dov, KS)

There must most definitely be a wolf amongst Cayvie, Cass, Ji or LC. Why do you make me waste a post asking why you think that, man? How can you say something like that and not know you are expected to explain why? :grrr: But I explained in the same post: "Often I think a gamestate like this i...

what did you miss?

I'm leaning toward cayvie as the chop right now. I don't like how her change of opinion on DDL went, and her ISO largely reads to me like pocketing attempts of DDL and Alison. cayvie rude >:| what don't you like about my progression on DDL? What progression. You suspected him, then he told an almos...

sure. to me it reads like you're a little uncomfortable but you're gonna keep trying because you know that sharing your thoughts on things is how town makes progress. it feels pure, i guess.

also im trying to be encouraging; you seem pretty tentative, and i want you to continue making posts

[VOTE: jiwon] aubergine

All righty, I'm back again. Man I wish I had more time to interact with the thread over a long period of time rather than just popping in with a few posts and leaving again...I should have more time on the weekend, which isn't super helpful for Day 1 but maybe I can be more helpful on Day 2. Think ...

got any thoughts on the game?

The fact that absolutely nobody has commented on my Jiwon push one way or another gives me confidence in it. If you trust me, follow me onto that wagon. It's our best lead imo. :nicenod: I like the fact that a few people have expressed vague gut scumreads of Cassowary. My own feelings towards them ...

rude >:|

what don't you like about my progression on DDL?

DrWilgy this feels like a bunch of forced content to me And this is a waste of a post. You may have just as well sent "k." What about this post is forced to you? Is it my tone? Are the reads wrong or stem from a place that aren't real? it clearly wasn't a waste of a post though. by the ti...

i guess i do take your point tho that if there's less content on average, that means there's gotta be more kindling added to start the fire. uh. if that analogy makes sense.

I agree that Wilgy's content feels forced but I'm not sure I agree it's mafia indicative. This game has the usual problem of all games with post caps, which is that people can't just post whatever they want because they have to be mindful of the post cap, so they have to sort of stifle themselves a...

So some mechanical thoughts re Alison as it may assist in isolation of bullshit to expect. One of the instances within TLA where someone were to lose their power would involve either an eclipse of the sun or moon. Solar eclipses blot out fire bending while lunar blot out water bending. Since charac...

well for you it's bc you're just exuding townie energy like you always seem to when i read you. i considered asking earlier for an example of a scum game from you to compare but i realized i wasn't gonna read it so didn't bother. for DDL, i really really felt good about the way he snapped back with...

fwiw i have placed Alison in the same meta box as Timsup2nothin. They're both players with a lot of intensity and who state opinions very confidently that I tend to have a knee-jerk disagreement with. And I find it very difficult to tone read either of them. So I have to analyze by different means t...

Cayvie, what do you think of Alison's claim? Have you actually weighed in on it yet? (Sorry if you have and I missed it.) You keep bringing up people being on a team/not on a team with Alison, so it doesn't sound like she's a townlean to you. Also sorry for consistently spelling you're username wro...

Good evening, I started reading but im predicting an interruption. Ideally I'll be back tonight. I look forward to playing with you all! Im interested how the friends I know from HS will intermingle with regulars here. So good luck friends, and strangers. :P hi! i see you're in north carolina. i gr...

I don’t see any tmi about Allison’s alignment in DDL’s post. His reasoning for townreading her is basically identical to mine with a hedge. If I see tmi it’s here. oh that makes a lot of sense, thank you for clarifying. i was kinda ??? at your original post. i think that DDL's post is talking about...

yeah feels like most of the game has 0-2 posts rn, dunno if that's normal for night start rackets tho

Carotte's mindmelded with me a couple of times now, and the context is such that I don't think it's a pocket. Carotte can be my townfriend this game. I want to hear more about cayvie's glasses read on DDL, especially if they have history together. cayvie can you articulate what about the tone of th...

i think DDL and carotte are town rn! How did you go from "I need to squint to believe what you say" to this read? Did I just tell the best joke ever or something? Cuz I think I make good jokes but my glasses one was not exactly a top tier one. it was the joke! not its quality in particula...

Can you explain why? well for you it's bc you're just exuding townie energy like you always seem to when i read you. i considered asking earlier for an example of a scum game from you to compare but i realized i wasn't gonna read it so didn't bother. for DDL, i ...

i don't, i need new ones, sigh.

hm. okay.

i'd really have to squint at it to see that.

I think Alison is probably town and dont want top yeet her for the foreseable future, yet this is type of situation happens every other game and I'm expressing awareness of the fact town players in general tend to give people a pass for it (which is okay, because players who make early claims like ...

sounded like distancing to me ("as an outside eye").

i'm kinda eh on my post now tho tbh.

oh that makes a lot of sense, thank you for clarifying. i was kinda ??? at your original post. i think that DDL's post is talking about Alison's post as dangerous in a meta-sense, that this is a dangerous precedent to set for future games but not necessarily this one? so not necessarily bad for town...

What is PPE? Personal Protective Equipment? Profit Per Employee? Post Poop Euphoria? -- Alison, no, I haven't played any full game with DJ yet. -- re: mech talk I mean. I don't think anyone is saying we should be *exclusively* setup speculating. I do think Alison that in your reply to cayvie you tw...

How do you feel about that? Are you afraid that some of them can scumread you accurately?

uh oh not good

PPE: my pronouns are she/her

you're the one who said there was likely to be more vote manipulation *shrug* i fundamentally disagree with your premise that talking about mechanics/roles is antitown. *especially* in a role madness style game. and i am irritated by your condescension toward me out of the gate. i knew that was goin...

If you know who the scum is, but the mechanics are a question mark to you, you're in a good position. (tell that to the town of Pyre Mafia) i think that game is specifically relevant here, because by the end of Pyre Mafia, due to vote manipulation powers, and the way we had planned our mechanics us...

linki: Hi cayvie! It's pretty obvious, if there are going to be multiple town PRs running around, you'd expect that mafia members would be given more juice to compete, not downsides. But more to the point, mafia are already disadvantaged in terms of votes because they're heavily outnumbered. It doe...

looks like i've played with jack from semifinal 2 long con, carotenoid, drwilgy, and nutella from pyre mafia exciting!! PPE hi Alison :D "- I think it's fairly obvious that this isn't the sort of ability given to a mafia member in a role madness game. If you believe this claim, you should trust...

interesting stuff! the list of potential characters in the game is 17, which is the same as the number of players in the game, so it doesn't look like there's any fakeclaims in there. at first blush it doesn't look particularly balanced between the 4 elements AIR Aang Monk Gyatso FIRE Azula Iroh Mae...

Town played well. There were some OP town roles but mafia had some hard luck early with KP shots, ITA and that popcorn game but it's hard to take anything away from the town. Given how close Sabie and DDL came to parity even with a tiny amount of wim between them I think mafia could easily have won...
