i'm glad you understand the code. also unironic town read on spf
why is that?
i read it in your aura
your joke about deducing the team based on my nothing post illustrates at least the tiniest kernel of an inclination by your brain to assess my post for meaning (before inevitably determining it means only enough to justify a joke). jaggedjimmyjay made a post that says "sure town" and this is where i begin my fleabag mafia experience, except i guess maybe not since it's nothing but oh well i can still be silly with it.

Hello, I'm Syn, and I endorse this message.
You can find me in the Syndicate server on Discord and then send me a DM through my user profile if you need to get in touch with me sooner rather than later. I have DMs enabled from anyone I share a server with. My availability is typically between 11 AM and 11 PM PDT.
I will also be regularly catching up on the thread, and like Juliets mentioned, I may reach out and make sure things are okay if the game has gotten heated.
Don't forget that the Syndicate has recently posted a comprehensive code of conduct that aims to help everyone avoid "toxic" game states and interpersonal conflicts. If you follow it, we'll all have a good time. Check that out here: viewtopic.php?f=113&t=2179#p829941

Hey @Sloonei how would you feel about a 2021 role reversal where I kinda fart around and make everyone uneasy while you take up the Doin Thangs banner and keep the peace

Oh and by the way, I was kinda thinkin' about this earlier.
Isn't it better for the fruit vendor to claim right away? Basically an IC, yeah? Could have me (the watcher) go on 'em too. I know it's delayed mechanics and all, but still useful as long as I'm not killed.
And for everyone's efforts on this page, I'm gonna slap a small townread on all of you good folk right away. I'm warning ya though, my mind changes easily, but gettin' good vibes from this crowd. I like Jimmy's idea too, about Stayposi being naturally on guard about his early buddy-buddy with her. He seems like a good player, so I think her being naturally curious about all of that is pretty nice as far as ground zero reads go.

You say that you like “everyone” on this page, but only comment on 2 of the 4. Do tony and I have good traits?

Yep. Good vibes man, good vibes.
Can you articulate said vibes in a manner similar to what you did for Jay and spf?

Best way I can describe it is that Tony seems like a chump and his setup talk was somethin' I also was thinkin' about before the game and I just found your entrance kinda witty

I contend that TonyStarkPrime singularly is more likely to enter the game with setup discussion as mafia than as town.

could be. i have something resembling an opinion. i'll let tony and other people say some words before i blab
didn't you already say your opinion on the matter in this post?
JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 8:15 pm
tony is probably town too. of course town tony cares about watcher claim mechanics
if you think that town tony specifically would care about watcher claim mechanics, then surely you disagree with the assertation that tony would be more likely to enter the game with setup discussion as mafia, right?

True or false or none of the above?
i think that TSP has a decently high chance of entering the game by discussing the setup as a wolf, but i suspect the specific thing that he would have discussed would be a bit different from: "a VT should claim watcher". that is a highly specific thought that is indicative of TSP putting actual consideration into his mechanically-based posts, instead of just babbling on about the order of PR claims or something like that

To be honest with ya, no. I'm a mafiascum player that thought I'd give this site a whirl. 'Course, I forgot about it as soon as I signed up until recently. I have quite a bit of experience though, so don't treat me as a noobie or give me a pass or anything.

Asking me to describe my own playstyle is like askin' a pageant queen to describe her own beauty, sir. That is to say, I don't think I could do myself justice. I'll quote an ol' friend though that I think knows me pretty well:
"SoA is best known for his eccentric style of scumhunting and his over-reliance on gut/instinct reads. If the man could actually describe why the hell he actually has the reads he has, I'd feel less guilty about punting his ass out the door. But since his pea-sized brain is too small to even come up with a reason other than "idk" I take a sick pleasure in voting him over and over again until he learns. Just like training a dog. Love ya man <3"
