The Syndicate

Daisy is scummy as fuck on play and their vote on Mac was not a legitimate vote it was meant to advance an agenda. They did not really believe that Mac is scum because he hasn't posted yet. They had an ulterior reason to vote Mac. Now Mac doesn't seem like an easy misexe so I don't think they were fishing for that, add on to the fact that Mac is scum and it's clear that it was an awkward attempt at distancing. Mac coming in and hard tunnelling the one person who caught on makes sense because there are only 3 scum in this game so they can't bus, and overtly defending Daisy means that he realizes the distancing attempt was bad and wants to mess up the associatives so it doesn't look so obvious.

Mac is scum because every time he is town he is obvious town and provides good insights about the game. He is also more likely to sit back and watch to see the target of my pushes because he believes in reading me by results. He is very unlikely to hard tunnel me D1 even in the games where he has a scumread on me when he is town (Bread Mafia for example). Furthermore his reads are shallow and lacking insight which means he is just using the good old post until they read you town strategy rather than critically thinking about who the mafia is.

The third scum is probably Tim and not an afk because Tim switched from being friendly to me to suddenly wanting me gone the moment I attacked Daisy. He soft endorses the narrative that I am scum by pointing out the possibility of me powerwolfing the loser's bracket. Finally his giving exact ratios on how many votes he wants to assign to each target is too logical to be town Tim. He has way too limited interactions with Mac and tends to talk about Mac rather than to him which doesn't make sense because they're both loud and confrontational players so if there was no tie between them they would naturally crash into each other and debate but instead Tim is stepping back and making general statements meant to influence the rest of the game thread's opinion rather than smack into Mac head on.

Put 4 other townies in this bracket with me and I guarantee you the game will end at the end of N1.

I have played with Mac in many many games.

We have hydra'd together as well.

We know each other very well and have lots of experience and history.

Every time we have been town together we have found each other easily and confidently and worked together to dismantle the scum.

Right now we are both calling each other lockscum which means there is almost guaranteed to be at least one scum between the two of us. Which means you should send us both into the loser's bracket both because it guarantees a scum send and because it permits the town between the two of us (hint, it's me) to barrel roll the other out of the game.

I'm pretty fully convinced of this. Sending one of you without the other is risking letting that one as wolf run out townies. I'm tilting more towards Mac being town than you, but this seems strategically sound. My concern is that sending the two of you to the loser's bracket and then having you miraculously 'find' each other and start slaughtering town would be a very bad outcome if you are both just wolves.

If we were wolfing together there's no reason to do that rather than just suck each other off in thread and win by getting all three scum in the winner's bracket.

Probably accurate. Thing is I know you are wrong about me and I think the whole "Daisy is a wolf because she threw a vote at Mac to get his attention" is a gigantic stretch so good chance that's wrong also...and I don't trust you when you are being wrong. I'm game to jump in the fray with you, and I'll make up my mind later not sooner...but if I had to choose the wolf between you and Mac right now I think it's you.

[VOTE: Mac] aubergine
[VOTE: Alison] aubergine

That gets one in the bracket.

Vote yourself too Tim, you said you were game to jump into the fray.

Oh and the fact that you think me calling Daisy an outed wolf is me being wolf trying to fish for a misexe rather than a reaction test is also scummy because you've been consistently pushing the idea that Alison calls people outed wolf as a reaction test early in the game for a while now.

Yeah I'm not seeing it as a reaction test so much as a possible "guilt by association" play on Mac. Even for you getting Mac shoved over won't be easy, so having the "here's his team" associative reads adds useful heft. I mean you could be right about Daisy, but knowing you are wrong about me is not a point in your favor.

Alison wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 1:22 am Vote yourself too Tim, you said you were game to jump into the fray.

Game and eager are not the same thing...but if called upon to serve I won't cry or shirk.

I like the reasonably strong feeling of "one wolf in these two, send both" and before I jump in intentionally I'm gonna see if any more such pairs/groups present themselves.

Technically, low posters and active baddies are not usually the same people.

Quick Response

@DaisyCloud

When did I bring up Marmot’s vote? I brought up I TR him.
Do you hate my TR on him that much?

Why you so panicky over OMGUS/Meming?
It shouldn’t bother you as much as it is.
The only it should concern is HK/Mac that much.

Kinda think Alison’s Mac/Daisy team is correct.

The aftermath refers to Tony coming in after the 3 of you played the thread.

If I’m town I’m trying very hard?
Wutt? Lol. What kind of statement is that?

I’m looking at the wrong things and making werid assumptions? What am I assuming?
I am looking at everything going on in the thread TYVM I’m not you who decides “OOOO LOOK AT ME I’M GONNA STRESS OVER MARMOTS OBV AF NAI VOTE”.
Like come on now, let’s not do that.

Ok let me just break this down you think I’m quote on quote
“building up to some kind of theory or something that has to do with a conspiracy he has but it's all very very inconceptualized at this point so u don't see his end game with it all.”
?????
Why would you expect someone to believe a conspiracy theory in the first place?
What exactly are you expecting my end game to be if I was scum?
This feels like your trying to have people “werry” of me rather then trying to solve my actual slot.

Daisy Quote: tl/dr idk what Gavial is but it doesn't feel town and guts is usually frowned upon so I probably shouldn't have hit send and deleted all this instead.

You don’t know what I am?
I’m a Player
There are 2 things I can be
Town
Or
Mafia

Pick One.
If I don’t feel town.
Then SR me instead of blurting out all this.
It’s like your trying to sus me and trying to not say you are at the same time.
Don’t do it.
Just say I feel off to you if you not confident in a SR’ed on me instead of dragging anything else on pointlessly.

I’m placing my vote on you today for your actions.
Sorry if your town but I’m not allowing this to slide.

No, he's saying if you send all the slankers into the loser's bracket + 1 active mafia then the active mafia is going to control the loser's bracket simply because everyone else is afk.

Hello everyone! I’m excited for my first game here. Sorry for being a little late. I’m not yet in the habit of checking The Syndicate every day.

I’m reading the thread now. Based just on the first few pages, I’m very suspicious of TSP, and maybe one of the people bemoaning their inability to accurately read TSP. TSP’s attempt to pit the early posters against the latecomers was scummy, and I’m surprised to see people handwaving it away. Of course, I’m biased as a latecomer myself, but my point stands.

Almost caught up. Just needed to say that the way you all call out short, sudden reads on each other without any explanation is very confusing to me.

I am in Australia. My time zones are out. I also have a life. I also am not afraid of posting as a wolf. Never push me for this reason again please it's asinine.

Everyone is anxious, or at least careful, about posting when they're guilty. If they weren't, it would almost be impossible to scum read people. Mac is just posturing here. Quietness is a classic and reliable scum tactic, and I don't think Mac is somehow exempt from ever using it.

I will be posting no further day 1 and merely observing you all and modifying my votes from this platform. My goal is to put 2 wolves in the night bracket.

As I read your posts, I was becoming increasingly suspicious of the way you seemed to randomly throw reads out, and then I started to wonder if you were aiming for the post cap so you could say "oops, sorry, can't talk anymore." It was almost comical to me when I saw you do just that.

It's different because Mac puts thought into his entry reads when he's town. I've hydra'd with him, I've seen how he does entry reads, and they are very intentional and have reasoning behind them. Here his reads are shallow, don't have satisfactory follow up and don't have insight or nuance. He's just spamming out reads to look like he's in his town game.

Basically the difference is hydra G1 versus hydra Mash. Here he's more like hydra mash.

That said, I'm surprised so many of you took my vote(s) seriously.

It's not your vote per se, it's the flimsy reasoning for why. You could've used the "don't vote, see results", it feels like you used that as an excuse for putting out votes.

Yeah, but see you didn't have to vote to "see what's going on", and now you say you voted half the poll with your name in it.


Mr Marmot, are you in fact a wolf?

It's more interesting to place votes and see what people will do though.

I'm a vanilla townie, what are you falcon?

i think I think about this post in some way, but not sure how exactly. maybe the whole conversation here

I plan to put four of my votes on people I think have really good wolf prospects, two votes on people who I think will drive the chops over on the loser bracket side in a town favorable way, and two votes on just memeing.

Surprised you don't have a vote on me yet then

which category you were expecting?

regardless of your alignment? tel me more about this.

So here’s my plan-

There are seven players in this game that I have more than a handful of games’ experience with and nine with whom I have little to no experience with.

I’m going to vote for three people that I have experience with and five with whom I have little to no experience with. I’m going to make my votes a balance of high posters and low posters, as well as players I feel good and iffy about.

In my mind, I don’t want to send all of the baddies to the losers bracket at the same time if possible. After Night 2, their ability to control that bracket becomes a serious threat if they can survive those elimination stages. I want to keep at least one super-shady character in the winner’s bracket until we see a baddie eliminated from the losers bracket.

Hot take: don’t shove all the low posters into the losers bracket right away. Doing so might help active baddies control the losers bracket for a stretch.

Technically, low posters and active baddies are not usually the same people.

No, he's saying if you send all the slankers into the loser's bracket + 1 active mafia then the active mafia is going to control the loser's bracket simply because everyone else is afk.

Well, I may not be a slanker, but I'll do my best in the losers's bracket

I’m reading the thread now. Based just on the first few pages, I’m very suspicious of TSP, and maybe one of the people bemoaning their inability to accurately read TSP. TSP’s attempt to pit the early posters against the latecomers was scummy, and I’m surprised to see people handwaving it away. Of course, I’m biased as a latecomer myself, but my point stands.

I read his post as a joke the first time but he stuck with the strategy over several posts.

I vote we just take TSP with us.

@Marmot
Can you take your vote off of TSP please.
For me

Maaaaaaaaaaybe

Why do you want me to remove my vote from him?
