Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 4]
Michelle, my POE is currently:
You
Bea
Quin
DF
SVS
My towncore includes Sloonei, Vivax, Eloh and Kate.
Wilgy and sig are not in my PoE and I have town reads on them but if there's mafia who are not in my PoE, I think it's those two.
(And I spent far too long trying to work out why that didn't add up to 12 people).

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Night 3]
And... I've started my catch up from night 3 finally, and this is a very good look on Wilgy. So... scrub that last post, Wilgy can be fully in my town core.
I have a role in mind for Wilgy as well but I'm not as confident on that as I am on some other peeps.

You do you, but I'm civvie and appreciate accusations I can respond to. G-Man's interactions with me being lukewarm are very much something that he could have planted, being a newcomer and all. Fully agree that I never saw any threat coming my way from him, but if I were to use your logic I should want to lim you just because Fingersplints was the N1 kill, and what could you rebuke to that?Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:04 pmThat doesn't mean I had a clear read on you.Vivax wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 1:57 pmI find this hard to believe.

There is nothing you can say in response to G-man's treatment of you. I fully understand that. I have not asked you to address G-man's behavior. I'm just stating why I currently have you as a suspect.Vivax wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:26 pmYou do you, but I'm civvie and appreciate accusations I can respond to.

Cooking instructions for Spicy Bea Ramen,
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of Granola
1 Bea
2 cups of granulated salt
.5 cup of cottage cheese
Take a skillet and heat it on warm. Line the skillet with butter you dropped on the floor, but don't worry, 5 second rule prevents dog hair on the floor from sticking to it.
Squirt the 6 oz of Nutella into the pan and heat until blackened.
While your Nutella is blackening, remove your eggs from the fridge, crack them and drop the newly hatched Bea into the bowl. Add cinnamon and turmeric. Blend the Bea and spice mix with a whisk.
Once blackened, add your blended Bea to the Nutella and cook till bronze.
Remove from skillet, place over toast and voila.

You've probably also answered this too, but when you did your original G-Man iso... and clearly in the quote above too... you came out slightly favourably towards vivax, but now it appears you are sussing him based on G-Man's side (acknowledging you haven't read Vivax's side yet), so what has shifted for you?

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Night 1]
I had to split the G-man ISO up into two big posts. I assume you'll get to part 2 soon and will see the development then. But to answer you briefly: as the game progressed, G-man never said anything remotely substantial about Vivax. No matter how much Vivax posted and G-man pretended to read him, all he ever said was "Vivax is new to me so I don't know what to do with him."Golden wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 2:53 pmThanks.

Why does bea’s lack of voting make you hesitate?sig wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 12:17 pmThis is pretty damning my only issue with Bea is her lack of voting and curse the following day. I’d think the mafia would be more on top of that? Of course that could also serve as a good strategy for a one day pass BUT she wasn’t being suspected then anyway.Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 12:13 pmThis is exactly my thought.Kate wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 11:50 amI don't. She's got her kid gloves on in a sense, when it comes to Bea, but bea is looking more and more bad to me and svs noticed that right away. If she were bad, I believe she'd shy away from accusing bea at all. Also, she can read me like a newspaper, and I've never seen a bad svs defend a civ me as well as she has here.Elohcin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 11:38 amYes, this makes sense. Thinking back on g-man's play, it seems like he was doing just enough to try to get by trying to look civ without rocking the boat too much to gain suspicion. As if he were going it pretty much alone and trying to hold it all together. This doesn't help alleviate my gut suspicion of DH, now SVS. And neither does SVS' lack of voting Gman. I don't know why I can't shake it. Does ANYone else feel the same way?S~V~S wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 10:15 am Addendum to the post about why G Mans bad team wouldn’t try to lynch someone else.
This is driving me nuts. I’m trying to figure out why a bad team wouldn’t try to start a third wagon if both Sloon and G were bad, or try harder to pile on Sloonei if only G was bad.
Maybe he was alone, or only had one teammate there? Like others were low posters or had time zone issues?
Because I’ve been playing Mafia a long time and have never seen a baddie with an alternative train do … nothing. I’m spitballing about maybe low posters etc because I just don’t understand Gs behavior there.
In a world where Sloonei is civ, bea voting not only to tie the game with a self-professed poor read on the game at large, but to potentially save GMan is a double red flag.
This is responding to Viv’s comment that a civ should never be fine getting miselimmed, which is what GMan was doing.
Then, 20 minutes later:Nothing in that progression makes sense. Does a civ bea have to make sense? No, but I’d expect a better explanation for doing 2 nakedly hedgey and scummy things.
bea is mafia for these actions alone.
I don’t really recall Bea’s neta so I’m a bit worried this may be another Lorab style vote so if any older players could chime in I’d appreciate it

This is interesting. What are your overal thoughts on sig.S~V~S wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 1:26 pmSure. I suspected G Man, I also suspected you more than sig or definitely my civ self. Myself, Scotty and Vivax all started posting some suspicion of you. One of them (I think Scotty but I am not sure) voted for you. I moved to you deciding that if a G Man lynch failed, I would prefer a Sloonei lynch. So I moved my vote. You may not agree with this reasoning, but you’re acting like a man in shock, repeating the same question in various forms over and over.Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 1:12 pmCan somebody who is not me reflect on the fact that Sloonei was not a wagon at this point, and only became one in the latter half of the day as a direct counter to the G-man wagon?Scotty wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 12:53 pm Current vote total as of ~7 hours left in Day 3:

Vivax, on night three you talked about DF as someone there was grounds to campaign for.Vivax wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 3:46 pm Can't really spot any concerted effort to save G-Man around End of Day.
Bea vote sticks out as townie, at first glance. I think for a Feb team that doesn't want to stick out too much voting together to save him, G-Man is the more logical choice. With the best choice being to vote off both wagons.
Michelle feels less opinionated than during D1. The DFaraday push could be such an attempt at placing a vote away from G-Man and also not Sloonei.

The banger here is that Michelle didn't vote, so for DF to notice her, he'd also have had to run into posts describing reasons behind the main wagons. So this could be grounds to campaign for a DF lynch tomorrow, as it feels like he's lying here about what he read.
Today you described it as a bad lynch.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on your progression and where you stand on DF and Michelle on balance.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 4]
Sloonei, I have arrived at and read your substantial post about G-Man’s posts and I agree with nearly everything in it. It also helps that it meshes with a lot of the reads I have in the game already.
I now understand how you get where you get with vivax. I don’t agree, but I get it. I think if I was to start a counterwagon right now, I’d go for Quin. The question is whether there’s any value to a counterwagon at all when bea has gone into antispew (I tend towards no, but let’s make sure there is one tomorrow).
I don’t really have the same ‘lean town’ read many others have on DF, even after reading your post, but since many others seem to trust him I guess I’m comfortable leaving him out of the PoE for now.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 3]
I'd prefer to describe it as a worse lynch than Bea at the current gamestate. I think the strategic intent was too obvious anyway for mafia to fall for it, which was to play good cop in mafia-bea world. While it's tempting to just revive my D1 read on Sloonei and Eloh with their rather blunt way of pushing for my lim, I'd believe it more likely that mafia picked the sidelines here.Golden wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 4:08 pmVivax, on night three you talked about DF as someone there was grounds to campaign for.Vivax wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 3:46 pm Can't really spot any concerted effort to save G-Man around End of Day.
Bea vote sticks out as townie, at first glance. I think for a Feb team that doesn't want to stick out too much voting together to save him, G-Man is the more logical choice. With the best choice being to vote off both wagons.
Michelle feels less opinionated than during D1. The DFaraday push could be such an attempt at placing a vote away from G-Man and also not Sloonei.

The gold one has spoken
@Sloonei @Kate @Vivax (who's temporarily off the hook) vote Quin for shits and giggles with me.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Night 3]
I really like this post from sig. Understanding and describing the point, thinking it’s a bad idea, but recognising it as probably cultural rather than trying to attribute weight to it.sig wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 6:39 pmOkay so, (and I’ll say I don’t agree with it or think it’ll work anyway) but this is the scenario.Elohcin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 6:29 pmCan someone explain this strategy to me a little more in depth and more clearly?
You basically hard core town clear your iffy town reads/null reads in the hopes mafia will say “player X is in the town core lets kill them” while in reality you suspected them. At least after thinking about it I’m pretty sure that’s what he means.
Now I don’t think this’ll work and I think it makes town players seem disingenuous/easier to flip flop BUT it’s really a cultural thing I’d say.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 3]
We have talked so much about counterwagons in this game that at this point I’d expect mafia to be hyper aware of them. I kind of hope they nk movable votes at this point - no offence to whoever that is, I’m sure I don’t want them to nk you specifically… but a shift in the meta might be beneficial to the civs.Vivax wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 4:29 pmI'd prefer to describe it as a worse lynch than Bea at the current gamestate.

I appreciate being included but I'm good with my bea vote. Although I like the Quin vote better than vivax.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 3]
I specifically addressed dogs votes in another post, maybe the long one where I freeformed to Sloonei.Golden wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 3:49 pmThis is interesting. What are your overal thoughts on sig.S~V~S wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 1:26 pmSure. I suspected G Man, I also suspected you more than sig or definitely my civ self. Myself, Scotty and Vivax all started posting some suspicion of you. One of them (I think Scotty but I am not sure) voted for you. I moved to you deciding that if a G Man lynch failed, I would prefer a Sloonei lynch. So I moved my vote. You may not agree with this reasoning, but you’re acting like a man in shock, repeating the same question in various forms over and over.Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 1:12 pmCan somebody who is not me reflect on the fact that Sloonei was not a wagon at this point, and only became one in the latter half of the day as a direct counter to the G-man wagon?Scotty wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 12:53 pm Current vote total as of ~7 hours left in Day 3:
GMan (4): SVS, Richochet, Scotty, DrWilgy
sig (3): Vivax, Kate, Golden
SVS (2): DFaraday, sig
Kate (1): Quin
Quin (1): GMan
Vivax (1): Sloonei
Not Voting (3): bea, Elo, Michelle
Currently insanified: Michelle, sig
I can’t answer for anyone who voted for you after me, but apparently several people think you’re shady AF.
I didnt particularly think sig was bad, but I didnt feel good enough about him to have to defend him if a wagon formed on him in opposition to G Man who I also thought bad. Like I feel pretty ok about Faraday, and I pushed against your vote on him last night.
That’s why when someone else voted Sloonei, I decided what I decided.
I didn’t suspect sig, I did susp Sloonei.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 4]
It's Thursday. You won't see me a lot, sorry.
Well, I tired to send this earlier, got linki, and pushed submit again trusting it would go through and now I see it never did due to more linki. I am home and free now, but my brain is in overdrive and needs some down time and I have to listen to it unfortunately.

Banners are cool, but a pain to scroll through so...
I've won a lot of games. I've hosted some games. The end.

Re: Anniversary Game 1 - Classic Syndicate [Day 4]
I thought I had no impression of Michelle because of me, but her night 3 posts are just blendy and safe. It’s not me it’s you.
