Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 9]

[Kate]

hi

Hi.

[fingersplints]

rez please

[Kate]

so are you playing often again and in the new formats?

rez please

[Scotty]

wow, 10 years sure has been a long time.
My boys are 17, 14 and 14 now. My adopted daughter gave me a beautiful granddaughter who I am raising. She's a doll.

What's up with you guys?

I know you didn’t ask me but that’s a big family you’ve got! I’m always amazed at how those of you with kids can still take time to play this silly game on this site. Kudos to you

I definitely want to know. Do you have dogs? I also have 3 big dogs that I got before I realized I'd be raising another infant

Ive also got a step daughter from my first marriage. Shes all grown up now but we are still besties

I’m acutely aware that you probably can only talk in off topic today by the way

Yeah, the wife and I got a little angel who is ~2 years old. We figured before even entertaining having a child we’d want to do a trial run with a dog first. She’s a little pumpkin and keeps our hands and hearts full, and is basically our child. I can’t imagine having kids on top of that.

My grandmother had a habit of adopting grandchildren. I call it a habit, because it really was a hobby of hers. It felt like every 3 weeks she’d meet someone at her church that could use a little extra love in their life. I just went to her 90th birthday party and she told me she has 38 adopted grandkids. That’s on top of her 6 real children and the mass of underlings from there. I don’t even know how that’s possible.

Meanwhile my dog wants me to throw the ball and I’m tooo tiiiiirred

your grandmother sounds like a wonderful lady.
Kids and dogs are possible, believe me. At one point I had a 3 year old and newborn twins and an ancient beagle named Lola.

Not to mention earning your JD and then your career!

[LoRab]

I'm here!! Went to bed before the results posted last night (because I'm an old person). RIPIYWG (nd you probably were), Splints. (and yes, I know that all of the night victims are likely civ, but I make no assumptions--assumptions are dangerous in this game). And sorry that this post is kind of all over the place.

Splints is a good player, and so I can see why she'd be a N1 target for mafia. Especially if one of the players is someone whom she historically has been able to read. Now I need to remember who that could be. And, mafia knows that anyone not on their team is civ, so is a good target no matter what.

And I should have a normal-er schedule now, so can post more regularly. And maybe actually get reads on people.

Also, I swear that I totally submitted a song for the contest, but now that message seems to have disappeared, and it's super weird. And I'm curious where it went to.

Looking at the visible night results, Kate was Greened and Bea was somethinged. Not knowing what role/circumstance had that effect on Bea, hard to say if that's good or bad. I disagree with whomever said it was a result of the map poll--since she wasn't the only Canada voter, but seems to be the only one whose posts have been altered. And she even said (I think?) that it wasn't Vompatti.

I have more thoughts and I'll remember them later.

[sig]

I've decided to exist within my own realm.

I will be sheeping SIG as they are the tastiest.

All opposition to this will be ignored.

Hi Quin!

I don’t even wanna be responsible for my vote don’t make me responsible for two

This is an good call out also it should be noted Kates curse was mafia driven while we can assume Bea curse is civ

[sig]

I’m going to soft read Kate unless someone wonky happened with the curse (bouncing/misdirect)

[Golden]

Scotty, it’s very clear who acted yesterday and it’s not Sloonei.

I’m not picking up on any of these roles hinting so either you’re reaching or I’m dumb.

Yeah I’m still not seeing it.

Apparently someone switched the vote to Vivax, and it wasn’t the guy who said his preferred vote was Vivax.

Sorry Golden- I’m known to say the quiet part out loud.

You’re saying it was Elo?

If it’s really only me who saw it I’m not going to lead the mafia to someone I think is towncleared. For now I think it’s enough for me to say that it’s not the role I have Sloonei pegged as.

[Marmot]

Rezz plz

[DrWilgy]

Rezz plz

I sacrifice myself to summon the marmot out of blue and into white posting.

Bleh

[DharmaHelper]

TBH I got distracted reading old games but I'll say some smart stuff tomorrow.

[Elohcin]

If you remember, Thursdays are my day to put on my ringmaster hat and tame circus animals for leading our homeschool co-op. It may be tomorrow before I can contribute anything for Day 2.

[juliets]

Everyone!
Spacedaisy is running Syndicate Trivia starting at 7:00 pm edt in the Syndicate discord server!
Y'all know a ton of Syndicate trivia! You can pair up and play in teams!
If you need a discord invite to get into the server hit me up!

[LoRab]

Why did JJJ vote in the poll? Error/mischief? Game mechanic? He replaced in and I missed it?

[Elohcin]

Quin has a similar style to me.

I was widely misread as a suspect yesterday.

Quin seems to be widely suspected today.

How do you feel about DH?

I have thoughts about DH. But I will have to express them more tomorrow when I’m not typing away on my phone in the dark while my wife tries to sleep

He has not ruffled my feathers yet. I admittedly have not taken any time to focus on any players in particular this game. Nearly all of my activity has been sitting around and engaging with the thread in real time.

I expect to fix that tomorrow afternoon.

The fact that you've been devoting this much time to the game but not taken time to look at anyone specific is pingy.

I know you didn’t ask me but that’s a big family you’ve got! I’m always amazed at how those of you with kids can still take time to play this silly game on this site. Kudos to you

As you have kids and your family slowly grows, you adapt and manage to make time for the things you want to do. Kids don't normally want your constant attention, at least not the ones I know. I've always worked from home, so mine have learned how to entertain themselves for hours at a time after we are done with school. And now that they are older, we have to be intentional about spending time together as a family every day outside of meals.

[Golden]

Not much progress today.

@DFaraday how much of the thread have you read? Do you have thoughts?

@LoRab got any reads yet?

I don’t like how quiet it is. Suggests the mafia are under no real pressure at all. The game is coasting.

@Vivax i have decent trust in you because by the time he left I had a good town read on Axe. Have you got any new thoughts or changed thoughts, given as Indy you might have been withholding?

[Golden]

Has @G-Man posted today?

@Elohcin did being close to lynch give you any insight

@Quin - no questions. But you do one major Scotty/eloh thing and it feels like you’ve been coasting ever since. I remember there was a game where I was mafia and I was false reading you as mafia, and you were far more reactive and defensive, feels like your approach to suspicion is to go quiet and hope I start looking elsewhere (don’t remember what game it was though) [VOTE: Quin] aubergine

[Quin]

For what it's worth, I wasn't working then and had a lot more time for mafia. It's about as good a defence you're going to get out of me if you're scum reading me for coasting.

[Golden]

I don’t have the same time I used to have either, I’m posting way less.?it’s not volume, it’s feel. I don’t know what you think about much.

[Golden]

And here’s the truth, just not doing much was kinda successsful because my brain got bored and started looking at other people. Which I need to do as well, but I can see how I would fall away from voting you through entropy rather than actually suspecting you less, and that’s the problem.

[LoRab]

@LoRab got any reads yet?

Not really. I’m not thinking about bea and kate until tomorrow. And really wanting to know what happened to bea. I have more players I feel good about than am suspish of. Which makes sense in terms of numbers, but is annoying. Not wanting to name who I feel goosed about because don’t want to help mafia. And not convinced the game secrets don’t contain weirdness that makes the allegiances less obvious than they seem.

[thellama73]

What a bizarre kill. RIP splints.

I came in to today ready to make a case against her, so I guess that’s one off my checklist.

"Odd choice for a kill" tell

Indeed. This post pinged me a lot, even though I do not really see mafia voting for Sloonei yesterday and I have previously had a town read on Scotty. There is tension here in my feelings about him.

[thellama73]

I could see DH being bad. His summaries on Day 1 were lengthy, but largely empty. Classic trying to look helpful but not actually being that helpful behavior. I continue to suspect Quin. I also don't like how quiet it's been today, although I have little room to talk because I wasn't around either.

[Elohcin]

@Elohcin did being close to lynch give you any insight

Nope, nothing more than anyone else would know. I suppose it was:

Revolution Mafia
One time, you can switch the lynch to the player of your choice.

which is another tick on my chart of why Sloonei could be bad. I'm guessing since it was a tie between Sloon and myself, instead of waiting it out to see which one of us it would be, he went ahead and switched the vote entirely.

This is the only explanation I can think of. Did you have any thoughts on it?

DHs day one didn’t really ping me at all, but his day two has.

Oh I’m confident rev mafia isn’t Sloonei. I was wondering if it might have given you insight into people voting for you, but you know there’s no guarantee of that, I didn’t get any insight into wilgy from his vote for me.

You don’t want to give reads on who you think is good…because it will help mafia? So you don’t give any reads whatsoever?

This post is hedgy as all hell.

[Sloonei]

Did Eloh just town-slip? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Do you still stand by thinking Elo is bad?

You haven’t really offered *anything* since your little deposition on me versus Elo.

But you have been around enough to shrug and give the music you submitted for the event.

Come in to the thread, make one read, it’s about the person who isn’t on the poll.

Alignment indicative at all? I’m going back and forth.

In a scotty/FH w/w world, making a read when you don’t need to do anything to follow it up for future cred isn’t nothing.

[Golden]

That’s DH not FH.

Obviously I can make no comment about what role Sloonei may or may not have.

But Elohcin just posited a theory in which Sloonei is a specific town role. The conclusion she draws from this theory, however, is that it points toward Sloonei being aligned with the mafia team.
Mafia Eloh probably knows which roles are mafia-aligned. Thus, she does not make a mistake like this.

I didn't make one read. I made several, and then a whole list. That was just the first read in my catch up. I also hadn't looked at the poll yet so I didn't notice Scotty wasn't on it.

Makes total sense. IF mafia didn't vote for Sloonei AND you voted for Sloonei, THEN I would have a hard time reading you as mafia. Given that that is not the case, it is easier for me to read you as mafia.
