Self imposed posting restrictions are a great way for a baddie to hide out, and your content is slim. I will be here on and off all day, give me some of those sweet accountant analyses, G Man.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I think that people who serially post in self imposed restrictions as G Man often does are playing a long game to some extent. When you hide behind it as a baddie, people can just say, "Oh he always does that" like you are doing now. It's a form of saving for a rainy day as well as a fun thing to do, IMO. It annoys the living daylights out of me, and I always find it suspicions. Especially since, in this case, he is always talking about how pressed for time he is, yet he still chooses to post in Oompa Loompa?Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 1:34 pmSelf-imposed restrictions are a good way to hide IF the player is hiding behind the restriction.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
G-man did not post with any noticeable restrictions, as far as I’m aware, on Day 1. His relative level of activity has not changed much between Days 1 & 2, so we can’t say that his activity has been diminished by the oompa loompa doompity shtick. But his activity on Day 1 was underwhelming, and he had been under heat for that coming into Day 2, so while the adoption of the posting restriction isn’t reducing his content output, it is perhaps enabling him to remain under the radar with a newly added security blanket.
I have to wonder if scum G-man would employ this strategy knowing that people were already suspecting him for his lack of activity on Day 1. This isn’t addressing the issue, it is exacerbating it. If G-man is bad, he could be trying to get us to think along these exact lines. Or he’s just town and having fun. Or he’s just having fun regardless of his alignment. I don’t really know, so I’m going to stick to judging the content of the posts through the oompa loompa song.

There is no hunting here.MacDougall wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:34 am Lol I feel like there are quite a few people who are just falling in love with the idea of catching me and not actually reading my play. Namely Dom, Nanook, Jack and now Nutella. Dom especially only really amped it up on me when I came back to thread live and a bunch of others (Jay, Nanook, Sloonei) all simultaneously started hounding me. It was too opportunistic and I do not trust.
I'm not really one who generally believes/trusts when people make self meta reads but if you've seen my GoC play, or really the vast majority of my mafia play, before (and I have been mafia in multiple), I can't see how you look at this game and think you're seeing the mafia version of Mac.
I'm not saying that I'm playing well or anything, quite the contrary, but mislynching me today would be a poor result. We should lynch someone who sucks more at Mafia ergo if they are mislynched would be no loss. Someone like Jay, Epi, or Sloonei.
There is no attempt to solve.
It is all grievance based.

Gonna be honest, I hate this progression as much as I like Macs in the post I made earlier.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I don't feel like his did. You can change the last syllable of the refrain to anything in order to make the next line rhyme.
Which is frustrating because G-Man hasn't said all that much.
The first song says to lynch Dyslexicon.
The second song backpedals (?) on Dyslexicon.
The third song has him self-quoting saying he'll do his thing, mentioning that he was being a brat toward JJJ, and lamenting there being two teams.
The fourth song might be his most meaningful one. He named JJJ a suspect, you, and said he didn't trust Dom and S~V~S (so is this song about a salad?

The fifth song calls you bad again.
The gimmick doesn't bother me. The fact that he gave himself an easy one but has provided very little in the way of substance does.

I REALLY hate it when people do those kinds of things. I'm like... just do what you think is best for the kids. And like... most of the time, while improvement is possible always, you're gonna do pretty well.
Like... I know very few teachers who are truly truly bad and need to be retrained with educational buzzwords etc.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
This is kind of where I’m leaning. In my very first game on the Syndicate, G-man spent the game communicating entirely via images for no real reason. He’s done other gimmicky things in the past as well. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him adopt a gimmick partway into a game after starting out “normal”, but that’s a different discussion that I can’t weigh in on in a meaningful way.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:07 pm I mean I don’t know G-man maybe this is just what he does for shits and giggles and it’s alignment neutral, but it seems kinda stupid if he’s scum tbh

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
That is, the shtick itself is alignment neutral. I have thoughts about what it could mean in various different contexts, but G-man hasn’t offered much in terms of content or explanation, both since he confirmed that he’s not cursed or at any point during the game. I am lacking sufficient data to offer a concrete read on the G.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I don't see a civilian motivation behind it though either. Unless he's just like I don't have time to play so I'm gonna look sketchy so people kill me and I don't have to but why not just ask for a replacement? When I've played with gman before he has done more scum hunting and participated more with providing reads and input.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:07 pm Yeah I don’t think a reasonable scum player is going to see they’re the top wagon and go “oh shit I guess I better admit I don’t have to post like this, that’ll convince people I’m sincere!”
Sometimes life does seem all planned out, like there's no choice in the matter. But that's just an illusion.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
I mean I agree it’s probably alignment neutral, that’s what I’m saying—I think the motivation for it is likely just for a laugh, which is maybe slightly townie but I wouldn’t really bet on it either way. I just dislike the narrative of “THIS IS SO SCUMMY” that seemed to be popping up, I don’t think it’s a good reason to SR himsabie12 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:23 pmI don't see a civilian motivation behind it though either.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
speedchuck is clearly pressed for time. I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt until he can integrate himself more deeply into the game. Radish has been a consistent presence, made a lot of posts, and despite that I've never felt any inspiration from him. He started the game saying a lot of nothing. More recently he has provided reads, but for essentially all of them I find myself asking questions about their validity or outright doubting their sincerity.

I don't know what you expect me to say, I acknowledged your tinfoil, what would you have wanted me to say or do in order to make you feel better about it? There was no direct question towards me either. It's not like you wanted me to say anything either, otherwise you would've asked me something, y'know.

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
My vote was on him before all of this started. “Low content” is one way of framing it. More accurate to the spirit of my suspicion is this: he has lacked content in such a way that seems he is shying away from it when presented with the opportunity. This is true of Day 1 and 2, and independent from his shtick.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:26 pm Can we stop the G-Man quirk conversation. It goes nowhere. Why are people voting him?

I cannot speak for anyone else who’s voting for him, of course.

- Tony, I've read this 5 times and still don't understand what your saying. I know "late" should be "early" but I still am not getting it.
Jack as town makes plays early (d2-4) and seems less certain as the game goes on. Jack as scum can float those days while still contributing and then enacts his plan in the late game.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 12:35 amI find that town Jack is more unsure in late game in confident end game and scum Jack is the other way around.Master Radishes wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 5:19 pmIn my single game (Inception, a few months ago) Jack looked like he was trying to play like he is now, but without being too noticeable. He was scum in that game, so in retrospect I feel like he was trying to imitate his town game as he perceives it.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 5:15 pm I also don't get Jack's so sure read on you. Is that normal for Jack, anyone? I seem to remember a more tempered town!Jack.
This makes me hesitate to vote Jack right now, as much as his overall play has been a bit questionable.
- Tony you did something you called a Power Analysis. I am not familiar with that as a solving tool. It seemed like you were just saying what you would do if you were that role which would just be busywork, something a scum would do. What was the purpose of the Power Analysis?
I wanted to look over the powers. And doing that is a good excuse to get thinking about it. There are some cool interactions to note. And sometimes I get responses that spark good discussion.
- I spoilered this next post because it's so long
I liked your response in the first paragraph, open and honest. I'm not sure I get your second paragraph. You had just said "I don’t think any of those are good lynches probably reverse alpha best to worst" about Jack, nutella and Radish but now you say you would have been fine with them. And I still don't see the reason you voted Dizzy.Spoiler: show
-But why?
- You gave reasons for suspecting me and I gave you a response to those reasons. I'd like you to respond back to me if you would. I am thinking you haven't been online since then.
-Tony, you said their names but I didn't see any reasoning except for about me. Could you say a little more about your reads?TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 7:58 pmI definitely called out the town ones as they went by and think I had said something about each of the scum onesColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 6:59 pmHis exchange with you. I had the same thought about his reads list, wondering where those names came from.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 6:58 pmAny beefs beyond the off-wagon vote?ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 6:56 pm Still think Tony is bad tbh. One of you freaks that’s always asking for more ISOs to do, go check him out
Overall Tony I'm not inspired (if I can borrow Sloonei's word) by your posts. You have not provided much content and I don't know what you are thinking. Maybe people who play with you more often can provide some insight because as you said, we have not played together a lot in my memory. I look forward to your response.
I think you messed up the spoilers so I’m not quite clear where to go from there. It is true that I have not provided much content. I’m sorry for this. The game is crowded. I don’t feel like I have much to say. A lot of my reads in this game are from overall feel rather than anything specific and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. I can provide a sentence or two on each one but I don’t have much else. Why did I suspect dizzy? Medium post count, no interactions worth mentioning. Saved it with a good reads list that showed straight thinking. Why do I suspect Jay? Cause where’s Jay?

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
This is because if one is town, finding other town and trying to come together is how one wins the game.
This game is full of individuals with 100 different opinions. Not a lot of coming together.
I mean, I don't think that's strange in this game in particular, since it is multiball and has such a high number of scum. But if the game is winnable for town later down the line, somehow town needs to try to come together, form an understanding and cooperate. I generally don't think "Do your thing and I'll do mine" is a winning town mindset. We know scum will work together.
This game is just super messy and I'm a bit frustrated by it. I want to see so many flips.

Epi, you said I have responded to your wall, therefore you acknowledged it, so what's your vote still doing on me? No response to it at all? Did it satisfy your expectations / did it not? I don't think I comprehend what your vote is supposed to accomplish. are you scum reading me or

Re: Champions 2019 - Crisis on The Syndicate [Day 2]
Please show me this. I haven't been bothered by Jack since the nutella thing, but I grant that in his extended absence I forgot about him. That's atypical.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:44 amI can’t see anything but town Jack in this game. There was a burst of emotion (not a deliberate appeal to emotion) on Day 1 that I thought projected a level of agitation that would not have been reached if he was bad.MacDougall wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 3:37 am Jack isn't town here. If there's one read you should come back to if/when I die it should be this one. I can best summarise it by saying that he feels like he is only half attempting to scum hunt when compared to his actual range. Which would be forgiveable if he wasn't also ever present. He is holding back. Actually this is probably explains why I've had suspicion on a range of other players too. Jay, Sloonei, S~V~S, TSP, Dyslexicon all fit the bill.
