ebwop, proofread fail : Sloonei: civ, of the big three (Jay, Epi, Sloonei) I feel most confident in his civness. In their case I defeulted to civ not so much becasue I have seen their civ game as I haven't seen their bad. With Sloonei, I think I have seen his civ game as well as not seen his bad game.

I will do my best. I like this post of yours, it's full of thoughts, looks real.S~V~S wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 7:25 am I'm gonna do a GTH post, not a rainbow. I will only comment on some and expand after work tonight (Saturday is my long, difficult day at work, so it is very unlikely I will post during the day today). Bad is kind of a default position (see: Dragomir) for "no opinion" I should have an opinion by now.
Michelle: civ but could flip to bad, she gave me good feels early on, and I have seen nothing to change it, and therein lies the problem. I need moar Michelle. Gimme that content.Spoiler: show

Just by reading it (keep in mind I didn't read all the thread but reading you civ I take all like from villagery mindset), I have these ideas:
- I don't think I'd read Turnip villager in this game, but maybe is from lack of meta?
- Ted and Sig villas for me too.
- Jack backtracking on Nut is nagl for me. Jack is a too stubborn fellow for that to be always a towny move for him.
- Colin bad agree, Drago bad I need to check.
- Sabie and Dizzy don't look so bad for me.
bbl, I am working today

See, Turnip shaded me but he has no vote. Like he is afraid to vote for a scum read he has, to apply pressure and find my AI like this. Scumy behavior again.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
Thank you Sloonei that is helpful. I'll take another look at him and try to guard against reading him on a tendency to hang back and provide reads at his own pace.Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:25 pmI don't know if I said "similar behavior", but what I've mislynched colin for in the past is his tendency to hang back and provide reads at his own pace. It's easy to misread that as a tentative, behind-the-action scum player, when in reality it's just been a behind-the-action civilian trying not to overstate his thoughts.
I have not looked closely at his posts in this game so I can't give you a detailed interpretation of what he looks like here. But that's my general warning against lynching Colin.

ted, what do you see that is a radical change in style? She is not posting as frequently as I have seen her do as town but she seems to be busier. Is it that or something else?

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I agree with a lot of svs' reads aside from a few things
People misunderstand me a lot which when I first came back made me frustrated but I realize now it's just difference in playstyle and interpretation of things and that's okay. I am kind of slow to start sometimes and have to talk things out to process them which people think is scummy but it's just how I figure things out.
I'm more iffy on TH and nanook than svs. THs lack of discussion and relying on others to do it for them gives me more of a scum lean. Nanooks major shift in tone and making it a point to mention the scum role thing makes me iffy on him.
I do know what she means about spirit and his "biting" personality that we haven't seen a lot of yet. Sometimes he gets more into it as the game progresses though.
I agree that mac's play so far has seemed more on the scum side and then he has disappeared after jack went from agreeing with him to suspecting him. As juliets said I'd like to look at him further.
As far as svs herself it's been awhile since I've played with her I think I accused her because she didn't say RIP when a civ died and she made me feel bad about it and then she ended up being bad. This game she made it a point to say RIP to nanook and point out that she said it. Aside from that she seems to be putting in effort I could go either way on her.

I think we played with each other once in the past. Probably inception?[mention]Dom[/mention]JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:15 pmI don't think "bravado" is out of place with Dom. That's a part of the persona he often brings to the game. He asked a question and it went unanswered, and so he made a stink. I don't think he has played with tedxtr before (either can correct me if necessary), so I don't think ted's own personality is an important variable to consider when judging Dom's treatment of ted. They don't know one another.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:09 pmI read the Dom/Ted thing, and I was confused about Dom's bravado that was suspecting Ted because he didn't answer a question. I also thought it was shade to say "avoided my question" cause it's such an easy gripe to have with someone. But Ted doesn't really strike me as someone who would flee away from a "difficult" question if he was scum, so likely he forgot or missed it, which he later said. I don't know. I was confused be Dom's bravado last game I played with him too though. I don't think I've seen him as scum before.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:03 pmYou asked about this. I see two people talking past each other until ted figured out what Dom's question was (then ted answered the question). This exchange doesn't make me think less of either of them. It doesn't make me think much of anything.
Jimmay, you know Dom better than me, so what's your overall feel there? Also, you know SVS better than me, so same question there.
Now that ted did answer the question, we may glean more from their interaction at present. @Dom, @tedxtr, whaddya think of each other?
I have leaned positively for S~V~S on the basis of tone and familiarity with what I remember of her hunting styles and what I know of the site norms from the era from whence she brings most of her background (Syndicate circa 2013-2016 or so). I haven't dug deep on S~V~S lately though and she is a priority for reassessment.
But I am skeptical of the guy. He’s not my top priority today.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
One concern about Michelle I’d like to quell and for us all to remember in general is that since there are two bad teams, there isn’t much sense of TMI yet.,JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:08 am Michelle stuff:
I liked her in Day 0 for her little contributions. They may not be much, but I am fond of the tone. That's worth less in Day 2 Land, but it's something.
She stood in Jack's corner when he was briefly wagoned on Day 1. If Jack is a civilian one may wonder about TMI; my alarm is not set off given that it's based upon Jack's read on her. There's a personal connection driving the read that I find believable.
Town reads on sig and I, the latter based on meta. I am not surprised by the comparison given that in Dogs vs. Cats I was very loudly mislynched. It sticks in the brain.
I don't care for this post. I don't understand what Michelle means in the first line about Dizzy. Her shade at nutella looks a bit cooked -- framing it as a question to the audience "what if they're both town???" is icky. Then there's vague references to vibes from Nanook and Radish, presumably negative vibes but not overtly stated.
I don't feel much either way from the big multi-quote post. I reference it anyway given its significant stature within the ISO.
Again drawing on meta when reading Sloonei town. I've no gripe.
Michelle's stances in the Day 1 lynch were dually concrete: vote Radish, don't want to lynch nutella. I appreciate the clarity.
sig gave her some shit and she was cool with it. The lack of energy in her response is awkward.
I agree with much of what she says about Colin
Well this ended up a whole-ass ISO post. I'm JaggedJimmyJay.
It's not a perfect report. When I am less-than-positive though I feel more like I am nitpicking than like I am finding something I care about. I don't view Michelle as a good lynch.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
Ok, I know I said I was going to look at Mac and I am but I got sidetracked to Turnip Head for a few minutes. I looked up the Firefly game to see if I was remembering his scum behavior correctly and what I find is it is radically different from the way he's behaving here. He's lighthearted in that game especially in the beginning but really peppered all the way through and his posts appear more frequently. I did not look at our team chat (I'm not even sure there's a link to it) but I saw enough in the game thread. I'm posting the link here: http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/search ... only&ch=-1
Take a look at it, read through some of his posts, it doesn't take long to read a few pages. Look at page 5 where he welcomes me on board his ship (I believe I subbed in that game) - it's an example of why I said earlier I found him charming.
I don't think I can support a full town read here based on this one game but if he is scum here his behavior has changed a lot.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
There are some things about [mention]MacDougall[/mention] that I could read as scum but I really need to see more behavior. I really don't want to say any more about it until I do see more. It's odd to me that he hasn't yet come into the thread after the early lynch but it's not unheard of for Mac to miss a day. He did say early on in the thread that he's a very busy guy.
One thing I'd like to know from Mac is why there was the turn around on Jack. On one day he is saying Jack is lying and nutella should be our leader and then this:
Mac, can you explain your turnaround from thinking Jack was scummy with his nutella suspicion to thinking Jack had hit the nail on the head with respect to her? What happened in between that changed your mind?
I apologize if someone already asked this and I don't remember.

and then his very next post about the subject comes the next day when he says:MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 12:16 am Jack is exhibiting his "I am scum" tell. I bet he keeps doing it too.
and then he was off and running with his badgering of nutella regarding her comment in another game that Jack always reads her correctly.MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:39 pm Btw Jack is always right about Nutella. It's canon. So either he's town and she's wolf or he's wolf and she's wolf, or he's wolf and she's town. But one of them is always a wolf so we should lynch Nutella.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I have a reason for Juliets. She defended Nut and spent a lot of time on that read. I think it's likelier that town would be invested in resisting the Nut wagon, seeing how she flipped not mafia. I think mafia would be more in the mindset of "anyone but me and my team". Does that make sense?TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 11:17 am Someone explain to me in 50 words or less why Jay is not scum and why Juliets is not scum.
I don't have one for Jimmay.

[mention]S~V~S[/mention] Clearly you don't know me, and vice versa. Your read on me seems pretty OMGUS to me. Which is fine, honestly. The reason I'm spending time interacting with you at all is because that if you are town, I want to be able to read you as such. I get that my process maybe doesn't make sense to you. It seems like we have different processes. That's also fine. It seems like you've spent at least some time trying to figure me out. Why have you not asked people who know me better about their opinion? This is a genuine question and not shade btw. I like to do that myself, which is why I've asked about you a lot. It's because I want to figure you out. A lot of the time my attention goes to where I feel I have the least info, or the reads that are the most difficult for me. The people who know my play better here have a town read on me, and that's not a coincident. If this was my home site I would literally be an IC by now. I seem to get suspected for play style reasons a lot from people who don't know me, and that's also fine enough. Maybe it would help if you have more direct questions for me? You don't have to obviously, I'm just saying. Also, in a game like this (and most games honestly) I'm trying to look for town and work from a PoE. It's just a better way for me to play, I think. If you notice, I had a town read on the late Nook, and still spent time questioning to test my town read. I'm looking for people to trust. Me questioning someone is probably more often in hopes that I will be able to trust that person in stead of trying to "get them" or whatever. I don't know if any of this helps. Anyway, your read on G-man is also wrong. You should fix those two. Apart from that I agree with town on Juliets, Turnip, Ted and Sig, as far as one could trust anyone this game.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I spent time ISOing Sabie, and I would like some opinion on that. I like Sabie's later posts tbh, but in the ISO I found a lot of excuses and putting things off, as in "I haven't read that yet" "I'll catch up later" "I need to check that". I find that scum is more likely to put off catching up or saying to check things and then don't. I also notice how little she mentions Radish and how waffly it is when she does. She also voted Nut with a pretty shaky rationale iirc. So I could see a Radish/Sabie connection. This is also strengthened by how Radish mentioned Sabie as one of the iffier voted on Nut, and how Sabie has not commented on that at all, but completely ignored it.
I honestly had the opinion that an actively involved Sabie with opinions would mean town and that a less involved and waffly Sabie would mean scum. And that she was not that hard to read. But I've gotten the impression that she may be hard to read? Some people have mentioned this at least. So I want opinions from people that know her. Anyway, I'll find quotes that stick out to me.

Stuff in Sabie's ISO:
I know it's a lot, but I would appreciate it if someone took a look. Only need to follow my comments and what I highlight.
---
Her very first two posts are "I'll catch up later"-posts. I especially don't like the putting off things when she also mentions she's excited for this game in the first post. And there's a lot of what reads like excuses in her ISO, highlighted in cyan:
Here's the posts that Sabie talks about Radish.
Sabie talks a lot about Jack/Nut, but very little about Radish. These two posts are the only on I can find that she even mentions Radish.
And what she says is Belgian waffle. Highlighted in pink:
Like, what does these posts about Radish say?
[mention]sabie12 [/mention]What is your opinion on Radish? Should he be lynched or no?
Other posts I don't like, and why:

Ok. But can you take a look at my ISO anyway, please?
Is your read based on meta or how you know her?
^I think this is about the only thing I like in her ISO.

Alright. Thanks for your opinion. I'm honestly not sure, which is why I'm asking. When I was scum with her last game, she hardly posted. But I also have seen her as town and she seemed more aggressive or straight forward, like she had opinions. Here it seems more like she is building opinions and missing info. The thing that hits me in the feels on the town-side is her mentioning of being "misunderstood".

It's hardly a controversial take though. The game is like almost 50 % scum. It would be a miracle if there was no scum there. Except G-man is town and tranq could be as well tbh. =pColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:52 pmWanting to vote for 3 of the lowest posters = “I don’t want to have to make an argument against somebody”NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 10:00 pm I would gamble on there being at least one mafia in Colin/g-man/drago/tranq
