Not that I'm opposed to joke votes... I still have one on Hugh Jass, after all. But, y'know. Words aren't matching actions.

That may or may not be true about Syndicate, but they still need an opening to enter the game. Players entering with shitposts or excuses after conversation worthy content has been established looks bad to me.Allison Taylor wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 6:29 pmThis is not true of most Syndicate wolves. You will catch the occasional one with an awkward opening but many Syndicate scum players have no issue with power wolfing and there are very few chronic slankers here.
I like Grumple's posting this page. Not that I agree with his read on Otto, but the way he approached it and broke down Otto's post that he thought was player salad, moved onto a series of probing questions and then backed off after a bit to stop himself from tunnelling was a pretty townie approach.

I agree on Grumple for the most part. Their tunnel actually felt like a nice cozy pocket I could hang in for a bit.

You think just because someone gets to the thread a little early and you got serious before you turned around twice they shouldn't get to shitpost?
In a game based on The Simpsons??
Where they have gone to the lengths of a Simpsons character sockpuppet account to play with???
You're lucky I stopped shitposting long enough to make this post...and mostly I'm only being serious because my dodgy internet has me in such an ill humor. If I get this shit straightened out I'll probably get right back into character and have you dumped in the green glowing pool out back.
tl;dr...I think you have thrown a lot of shade so far, but in pretty much every case it was thinly backed, if at all...like you are looking for an easy push.
LOL...I actually wasn't even talking about the shade you've thrown at me. I was more pointing out that you seem to be thinking you are in a fourteen wolf game because you are shading basically everyone, or at least seem like you are set on getting to everyone.Otto Mann wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 8:17 pmThat's cool, especially considering you've done fuck all but complain about your computer or inability to access your account.

You seem to have your back up quite a bit considering it's early D1 and even the best of cases will all be flimsy as fuck. I haven't even pushed you, but indeed some shade has been thrown. I do that. Helps me sort players.
Getting all salty over the way I go about scum hunting to start the game only reinforces my opinion that you're in that scum range of players.

You should try throwing around empty reads when you're town. It's kinda fun.

But GOSH I am sooooo looking forward to having a REAL mafia player like yourself teach me how to play, so I hope there's not like an expiration date on that offer!
Meanwhile, since now it isn't taking five minutes to change pages I might even read the thread before my first lesson, just so I have good background and a chance of maybe, just maybe, being able to follow your awesomeness.

I'm sorry if you took it that way, wasnt my intention to act superior, just wanted to let you know I knew my reads were empty, it's just the way I approach the game starting with no info.
People tend to engage in one way or another which helps me get a read on them. That's all I was saying.
Sorry if upure town, I'm just not reading you that way rn. That can change.
Enjoy the game.

I really do normally play much the same way, and I really did spend most of the day squabbling with the cable company with my internet running at dial up speed...and my only way to communicate with the cable company being the internet...
So that shot to the chin wasn't something you deserved really, it was...you just kinda stepped in front of it.
I will be reading through the thread and getting really caught up.
And yeah I'd actually rather be watching hockey too.![]()

This is a good post.The Grumple wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:40 pm Player salad is a subconscious pitfall that mafia people who hate Christmas fall into. They list several names at once without actually listing reasons. It allows for deniability later and gives an illusion of action without actually acting. Allows people in the mafia to talk about their teammates early on without actually pushing meaningful momentum on them so later on when one of them bites the snowball they can point back and be like "aha! I knew buntain simpson was mafia, see? I even said it on day 1".

Looking at Skinner, Burns, Milhouse and Hugh Jazz.
So yes, I've named half the fucking roster, need more players to post to start narrowing down from that pool.
Question number second: If one or two of Grumple, Allison, and Flanders are mafia, which one do you think is most likely.
Question number C: what is it about the current game state that leads you to believe that the mafia is laying low?
