Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I've had a hard time distinguishing between town sabie and mafia sabie in the past. But I also find that all of the things that you mention here as reasons to suspect her are not reliable alignment indicators for here. She has a pretty transparent way of talking about the game. If she hasn't read things or doesn't understand a point, she'll just say so.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:27 pm 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.
There might be meat on the Radishes bone, but as always I am wary about looking for connections of that nature before we have a confirmed scum.
Other people have caught bad sabie in games that I've played in the past and each time that has happened I've just been sitting there shrugging at the cases. other times i've seen people gang up and mislynch her for no good reason.

Ok, thanks. This helps a bit. She's not my preference for a lynch today, but if Radish is indeed scum, I will be looking sternly at Sabie, me thinks.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 1:54 pmI've had a hard time distinguishing between town sabie and mafia sabie in the past.

Kneejerk reaction. I've been on the wrong end of too many Colin mislynches when he's played similar to how he is here in the past. I have not looked closely at him yet in this game, but my impulse is to resist the urge to lynch Colin for being low key.
also tangentially related, i thought there were more votes on him right now because nanook's name is so long.

It’s not for being low key, it’s for being disinterested in a game where scum don’t really need to drive much early.

He also seems different than he did in...idk, the wire or all my circuits, I forget which. Caveat that I was scum so my judgment may not be the best since I wasn’t trying to read him.

G-man is the only name on this list without a question mark. Does that mean he's your most confident town read? Why? I've also seen mixed opinions on Michelle, so what can you tell me about her?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:53 pm Townish people:

I also take it Colin is among the strongest reads among "almost everyone else", so I guess we should talk about the specifics of that read.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
To elucidate the difference, I recall Colin being like a dog with a bone in the game I saw him as town (I think the wire, not 100% sure), whereas this game he’s a bit more drifty. I don’t recall him being much more active than in this game. That seems like enough of a difference to me to run with

I just got a good feel from G-man the way he posted N1 and also came at me start of this day.

Michelle, I've been unsure, but I like the later I've seen from her, especially being all in Tunrip's face. It's a more challenging position, and I think Michelle is more sly and not so in your face or confident as scum. So I lean town on her.
You are mistaken about Colin. Me voting someone does not mean they are my strongest read. But I do like Nook's point just now about him seeming disinterested in solving.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
Ok I just read through Colin's posts in Inception and thought "Why the fuck did I vote for him?" So I read my posts and find that I thought his posts looked towny later in the game but I didn't like his low presence and thought he had nudged us away from voting scum to try to get us to vote 3P.
Here I have been leaning scum on Colin but a big part of that is he hasn't been here much and doesn't seem to have paid attention when he was here earlier on in the game. I just read through him again - earlier I said I couldn't see posts that were towny but I also don't see posts that are scummy. I don't think that's enough right now to vote for him especially given the weight I was putting on "low presence" and my interpretation that he wasn't paying attention. I could have kicked myself when I read why I voted to lynch him in Inception.
I'll keep looking.
lots of linki

Still leery on Jay. FWIW, in all the games I’ve played with Jay as town he’s picked up early pressure. He hasn’t here, but I think that’s attributable to the size of the game.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Night 1]
Looking at Colin:
This is not to say that town Colin doesn't care, just that a town player is under less immediately pressure to make an impact.
I remain inclined to town-read Colin and will defend him. I am fully aware that I have a bias (reverse bias?) to defend him right now because I have been guilty of misreading him in just about every game we've played together in recent memory. But I also need to hear more from Colin to believe fully in this read. [mention]ColinIsCool[/mention] can you tell us more about Michelle and juliets? Even if you are not currently suspicious of them, it appears that you have been at some point in this game. What prompted that, and how have those reads developed?
Starting right here, one of the points that's been drilled into my head is that scum Colin cares about not letting down his teammates. Town Colin is free to drift more casually into the game. A post like this one strikes me as being much more likely to come from town Colin than scum Colin.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 6:08 pm I’m sorry I didn’t do anything, I misread and thought the phase ended today. About 1/3 of the way through the thread
This is not to say that town Colin doesn't care, just that a town player is under less immediately pressure to make an impact.
Other people have called Colin out for this post. I would also like to know more about what he saw/thought he saw in the particular Michelle post. I'm not claiming to understand this post completely, but it is the type of town-colin post I've misidentified in the past. He's plopping a few reads down without much detail or force and then bouncing off. In the past I've read that as a player who is trying to keep away from the spotlight. Instead I think it's a player who's participating in the capacity that he's able to without being bothered by how that will be received.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 7:13 pm Although before I caught up I misinterpreted nutella as scum and read the thread as such, so some of my thoughts are useless.
I feel best about sig, his NANOOK suspicion and case felt really genuine. I also really like just about everything I’ve seen from ted. I like Jay so far, and Epi.
The Michelle post I quoted earlier bugged me out, I’m not sure what it meant/if it makes any sense. I agree with Epi’s concerne toward juliets.
Radishes isn’t giving me the same exact vibe as he did when I sniffed him out as 3P in Inception, but it’s similar ...
This post has also got him some flak, but I again read it as a sing of town colin. He's literally quoting himself from a past game in which he was town, for one. I don't think scum colin is going to go for this sort of emotional/historical manipulation.
I like this question and it's consistent with a thread colin's been tugging at re: juliets since early on in the game.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 1:14 pmjuliets, I’ve been playing games with you since I signed up here, including recently. Why do you need Sloonei to tell you how I play?juliets wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 8:51 amThank 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.![]()
The only thing I see that could indicate why this vote exists is that colin referred to a random number generator? That's not super inspiring.

i'll note that colin is one of the folks i've been playing with the longest on this site. We both came to the Syndicate from the same home site. There's a long history here. In the past he has been a more active player. He's good at this game.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
Ok I just read through [mention]sprityo[/mention] and almost all of it seems like fluff. He voted Jack on Day 1 making a point of saying it was just gut, but then also voted Jack on Day 2. Sprityo, are you still voting on just gut? I know you just got home and there is family to see and such so I don't want to push too hard but what's going on? You are capable of really great play as Jay pointed out but I can't say I see anything towny in your posts, and the vote for Jack on Day 2 is uninspiring or worse without a reason. Hope you are able to talk some more about this today.
Is anyone else having this same reaction or am I missing something?

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Night 0]
So I know you're not super familiar with me. IRL I work a somewhat stressful emotionally draining job so my lack of posting sometimes just is related to my not being able to. I think my way of going about things is different than others so a lot of times my playstyle comes off as scummy to people who don't know me that well. I used to get upset and defensive about it but I've been trying not to be like that anymore. I just say what I'm thinking about things and give my honest opinions. I dont like to make up reads if its not how I feelDyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:43 pm 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:
Spoiler: show
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?Spoiler: show
@sabie12 What is your opinion on Radish? Should he be lynched or no?
Other posts I don't like, and why:
Spoiler: show
With radishes I'll be honest in saying I am not good at reading people who I've never met before and I don't have a frame of reference to read them. I don't feel particularly strong either way about them. In all my circuits therealet was new and everyone was aggressively going after them and I ended up following and then they ended up being civ and I felt bad about that.
This game has been hard because it's so big and you cant even do a lot of vote analysis with the day ending early and no one was night killed. So I've been focusing on things that make sense to me and trying to get reads on people I feel like I can read. My playstyle seems weird to people but it works for me and that's all I can do.
Sometimes life does seem all planned out, like there's no choice in the matter. But that's just an illusion.

It’s impossible to point to a lack of something, because it isn’t there to be pointed at

Also excuse me but vote analysis can still be done. For example, people voting nutella over radishes are slightly higher chance to be scum.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I think there’s always something underlying “gut” reads. Can you at least identify the posts that made you feel good about G-man and try to talk about what gives you those good feelings?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 2:18 pmI just got a good feel from G-man the way he posted N1 and also came at me start of this day. You can call it strong gut if you like.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 2:07 pm G-man is the only name on this list without a question mark. Does that mean he's your most confident town read? Why? I've also seen mixed opinions on Michelle, so what can you tell me about her?
I also take it Colin is among the strongest reads among "almost everyone else", so I guess we should talk about the specifics of that read.
Michelle, I've been unsure, but I like the later I've seen from her, especially being all in Tunrip's face. It's a more challenging position, and I think Michelle is more sly and not so in your face or confident as scum. So I lean town on her.
You are mistaken about Colin. Me voting someone does not mean they are my strongest read. But I do like Nook's point just now about him seeming disinterested in solving.
I’ve only seen one scum game from Michelle in the past and she was noticeably different from her town self. She’s one of many I have not looked closely at here, but a glance at a few of her posts felt like her usual self. I think this aligns with your read here as well.
My mistake re: colin. Who is your strongest suspect? You might have said radishes, I forget who else is on that wagon.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
It doesn’t work that way! Interest can be gestured at and pinpointed, disinterest cannot. Disinterest is an overarching lack of interest, it isn’t an active thing in and of itself.
It’s like saying “god isn’t real because he didn’t respond to prayers X Y and Z,” but then you can just say “well he did fulfill prayers A B and C.” You can’t prove the lack of something, you can’t point to one specific thing that indicates it, you can only say “I can’t point to anything that makes me believe in God’s existence/Colin being interested in finding scum, thus I do not believe in God/Colin being interested in finding scum.”
So if I had to point at a post, I’d point at all of them and say nothing makes me believe that Colin is engaged in this game in a townie way.

This is why an atheist arguing with a priest is a terrible idea btw, because the priest makes their point through the presence of things and the atheist makes their point through the lack of things, and people don’t like abstract concepts like that.

I know you just got home and there is family to see and such so I don't want to push too hard but what's going on? You are capable of really great play as Jay pointed out but I can't say I see anything towny in your posts, and the vote for Jack on Day 2 is uninspiring or worse without a reason. Hope you are able to talk some more about this today.
Is anyone else having this same reaction or am I missing something?

No, I think we're just going to talk in circles now. Radish is my biggest suspect still, yes. Nothing has really changed that.

I believe it is doable, but I’m not interested in dragging the thread down with this discussion. And anyway, God is an ill-defined concept to begin with. Interest/disinterest is not.
I’ve made your argument against Colin a half dozen times in the past. I’ve been wrong a half dozen times.

Sometimes life does seem all planned out, like there's no choice in the matter. But that's just an illusion.
