The Syndicate

I really hope this isn't one of those old timey "mafia leader" roles that cannot be chopped until all of the teammates are chopped first. One of my least favorite roles ever

she really just needs to get vig’d

then its like we actually had her yeet and we know whats what

I fully support the vigilante idea.

I have a grievance with this post.

On Day 1 it's easy to see whom people say is good and whom people say is bad. Alison "coaching" people Night 1 in such a longwinded way looks like fishing.

I've been assuming night ends at the poll deadline. It might be 10 again. Posting what I have even if incomplete

all we got is Funny not flipping, which throws the read on her out the window

@Funnygurl555
simple question, did you or did you not know you weren't dying there?

Hey Wisp, you've got 22 posts during Night 1 not counting the above.

Meaning "we haven't decided on a Night kill, so let's fish for a good one."

I've hosted a lot, and I've seen plenty of mafia do it.

Great.

What's FunnyGirl's alignment?

That's all I care about.

jay, can you talk about why the orange ones are orange?

not now obviously, but D2

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 4:34 am I’m not willing to allow “FG played inefficiently, therefore FG is Town” to be an argument that has any merit.

a) Mafia is likely to have limited uses of unexecutable (probably just one).

b) Mafia would not want to waste their unexecutable, because it is far more powerful when used in the late game than when frivolously thrown away.

c) Funnygurl is aware of b).

d) Funnygurl has played in a way that indicates that she doesn't care about throwing her unexecutable away.

e) This means that Funnygurl probably doesn't have limited use of unexecutable and is therefore town.

Which of these above statements do you disagree with?

none of those.

Hally wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:34 pm @ColinIsCool do you have any updated reads?

I’m more unsettled than I thought I would be, FG is still my main suspect but there’s an unusually compelling reason to rethink that. As a rule I’m suspicious of people that seem to be “below the fray“ like Spacedaisy and possibly Tony and the person whose name begins with K. Let’s just say I’m flexible at this point

Is it always town?
Why, would it be

could just be a great given fake claim
How is it a fake claim?

Funny played that terribly by reducing the information we were able to attain, I'd take a possible mislynch over what we just saw.

the power, is the ability always (not mafia). yes.

Can someone explain why either Wisp or Hally are town?

Wisp wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 1:35 pm Funny certainly didn't play her role in an optimal way as town thats for sure. I just find it odd how see ended as the top train when here approach to EoD made no sense from the perspective of a scum, unless she was:

1. Town-siding
2. She is w/w with Con

Given that she was unkillable, pulling the kill away from Con makes sense in that world, but IDK if I really believe that yet

In any case she's saving LC from the chop, right?

Hally is floating on an early day 1 claim of what appears to be a town theme before anyone else could say anything. Wisp is a general read via meta translated in from Nanook plus some micro stuff

If Hally's claim never existed they'd still be a top civilian read of mine.

I don't know if this is a "help me justify my gut feeling" post or a legitimate "try to guess my reason" post, but if it's the latter my guess is that she didn't claim it until we wasted D1 on her.

Don't know how to feel about Hally's saying to shoot FG if there is a vig. If that is mafia trying to get vig to shoot town, it is openwolf in a way that doesn't feel very in line with Hally's personality. But I also have respect for Hally's scum range and have never seen her play as scum so I am not very confident in that read. The logic makes sense but I find it really difficult to ask a vig to shoot someone I think is town.

No I have a definite reason, I’m seeing if anyone sees it without prompting cause I might be able to get a soft clear on them if they do lol

It isn’t what you said tho

Do you think this because she claimed to be a miller and also to be unlynchable and that would mean she had multiple powers in one role?

noting this for some mechanical shenanies later on but I think this soft clears sabie

Complete Blind Interactions


Quick notes as time is short:

My primary takeaway from this is that the players generally being trusted the most are also difficult to place on coherent mafia teams. That tells me that the collective effort to form a strong core group and play process of elimination has been effective, and that we aren't in a place where paranoia is wise. There are some isolated "orange" blocks speckled about the non-POE space; this doesn't mean those interactions do or should supersede the POE pool. These are things to be mindful of if the game ever demands it later, and to investigate for yourselves to sort your own feelings. Also note that when there is less content to assess, "yellow" blocks become inherently more likely -- there is simply less material to help me make a determination. This is why you see a lot of that for players like sabie and Spacedaisy.

Stay the course.
