The Syndicate

I didn't pay much attention to the last time I saw fingers as town (I had a n0 green check on her) but I'm pretty sure she's just hedgy like that as a person, its just how she speaks.

I didn't feel like I had any trouble finding Fingers villagery in that game.

But that intro post here definitely pings me pretty hard-- it's just one of those classically wolfy posts.

I don't see it but ok

I would sort of be curious to know who sees it and who doesn't. Could be relevant in the event we flip Fingers.

So definitely thinking luckbox randed wolf here.

Cue the indignant outbrust at being scum read while being busy IRL and trying to catch up

I was responding to Luckbox calling it wolfy. And saying that that was just me checking in.

The rest of your post is unnecessarily rude. I’ve been scum read plenty of times in my over a decade of playing mafia without indignant outburst but thanks.

I find that people more often have problems with how I post (“hedgy” as nanook says) especially early, but I usually seem to make it pretty obvious I’m town within the first few days.

You saying that you were just checking in doesn't really respond to the accusation fwiw.
It's not even "hedgy". It's just a weird thing to say. If you haven't read the thread, then obviously you wouldn't know who you're going to vote.
But the way you said just feels all sorts of icky in the way I used to feel when I first learned what wolves sound like. We'll see though.

Ok so I’ve caught up on the thread. Pretty quick read. Gotta admit some of the paragraphs of Alison and DOO bickering about play styles there blurred a little bit for me and was uncomfortable.
I don’t think Alison is a wolf here, and nothing so far seems uncharacteristic for her. While I don’t agree with all of her voting reasons there, it’s still early and with not a lot having been going on it’s generated discussion and seems like she is the most actively scumhunting. All good things.

I don’t think I’ve ever played with DOO before, so not sure how to feel there.

If I had to give gut reads on a few more people based off the thread so far, I’d say feeling ok with nanook and Esooa as well, but that could change.

Well I disagree that it was that weird of a thing to say when in most mafia games I’ve played recently most of the thread is throwing out votes early left and right for little to no reasons or jokey votes. I don’t have any joke vote or little reason yet, so just was saying I don’t know who I’ll be voting for.

The second post was shrugging it off and clarifying that I hadn’t read yet. Not much else I can say in response to someone calling it wolfy.

Perhaps if you just keep focused on me, don't ever really give any reasons for thinking I'm a wolf, and don't talk about other people, then I might eventually come to think you're a wolf. You could try that.

Good advice, I think I will.

Weren't you already thinking I was a wolf? Or did you back off of that in hopes I'd back off of you? It didn't work.

No although I can see how it could look that way.

lol

well it doesn't look like this game will be in any way interesting

For villagers I've got: Alison
Probably villagers: Ender, DoO, Seanzie
Maybe villagers: Seanzie

oh yeah Axehole can be a wolf, voting him.

Also, listed Seanzie twice...meant to just have him as "maybe". Probably though he's probably a villager.

No, we need to maximize discussion time to ensure that everyone can decide to not talk, and blame their busy schedules anyway.

For the player list this game is pretty quiet

I'm probably just policy voting a zero poster atm so I don't care to make reads

Esooa wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 7:23 pm I'm probably just policy voting a zero poster atm so I don't care to make reads

Imagine a game where Esooa doesn't make reads. I can't--

Wait a moment.

@Esooa I'll policy vote with you.

I've been taught in my short time here that the correct play is:

- Play so that people can't point blame at you postgame
- Always vote on policy
- Never defend yourself in any way
- Town should always lose unless by coincidence the bad players are all mafia

And Guillotine thought I wouldn't learn my lesson...
