The Syndicate

Nothing really of depth, it's more of a gut read. I guess what I can describe it as is, his posts look "aesthetically pleasing" upon skimming. I liked his read on sabie, although I'm not 100% confident in it. I saw his thought process. Also, he had something to get out of our interaction, unlike other people who just kept it rolling and being in batfuck nowhere in terms of votes. I read his post where he said "I really hope nova v ted isn't t v t cuz this will be a clusterfuck" or something amongst those lines as genuine. One thing's for sure though, if he's a scum, he's definitely not a scum with you.

I guess I liked where his focus was.

No. At least not yet. "Busy posting" and when it's time she makes a game relevant post, it doesn't explain any of her reads. Talking about her #219. Not knowing new people doesn't give you an excuse for not forming reads on them.

Anyone who is familiar with my playstyle knows I'm not an aggressive player initially. I do a lot of observing and taking things in prior to offering a lot of reads. The day doesn't end until tomorrow evening so there's still plenty of time to discuss and get a feel for what's going on. If you want someone to offer reads you could ask them. I typically will respond if you ask my opinion on something.

Even though you didn't ask I will give some of my reads thus far. As of right now I feel creature, nova, and LC have been their typical selves. For now I'm willing to say town read on them. Creature is typically coming in guns blazing worrying about being mislynched rightfully so because I'll admit I've accidentally mistook his aggressive playstyle to mean he's bad before. So I'm cautious about accusing him based on that. LC is his usual beginning of the game self. We'll see if that changes. Later when I'm on lunch or out of work I'll look through some ISOs.

Hahahaha hey sig it has been awhile eh? I think you were bad when we played before. Remember world asunder? That was good times. I enjoy your accusing me slash also kinda trying to buddy me strategy. Keeps things interesting

Huh, weren't you guy teamed scum like 1/2 games ago?

I think you mean that one gsme I didn't even really play in. I don't even remember that probably because I basically dropped out of that game and didn't participate because I was going through too many IRL problems at that time.

wow when revisitting page 4 (after I left) I see alot of posts by [mention]Creature[/mention] , he is either complaining or giving blunt reads
I CANT read him as much as I try, atleast now civillish
Is more of a weird familair feeling I get from him lmao.


[mention]sig[/mention] is "okay"? I only see one contradiction, you had the D0 mentality of "aight let's policylynch novas" and now you hand out a TR on novas. I want to understand that one. (talking bout post #41 and the reads on page 4).


[mention]NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME[/mention] is aight, I can totally understand his vote, it's neither opportunistic nor scummy otherwise.
Nanook is green...hopefully (since he seems to be a dangerous scum from my experience)

Creature followed up with random interactions after the vote. I don't know how to interpret that one


Finally [mention]Dom[/mention]
tries to be funny, but there was nothing contributive in his posts on page 4, basically fluff. I have familair (townish) vibes from that, but as I am bad with meta reads, I will let others judge it for me.


This is just my ketchup gth post, I have to read 3 pages more, will do so now.

Creature wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 11:41 pm Just sit and watch we deadline lynch sabie, Rej or me?

lmao best post till now
I don't mind being deadline lynched (free time at weekend), but it's always annoying at the first moment when you've put alot of effort into something.

But question, how did you deduct those 3 names for a deadline lynch? It's not common that I get deadline lynched here (assuming you talk about D1), I once made it to LyLo, I deflected lynches on me successfully and I even made it "far" as Indie.

You are a not with leisure after suspicion was thrown on you and someone voted on you.

I was quite pro active during the D0 -> D1 switch and yet you never picked on my name, but you pick names like tedexter and novaselinenever

So GTH, what you think about me and how I got things rolling?

I still need to get a better understanding of your ingame mindset.

I cought up, will observe people I haven't interacted with or quoted. Gonna enjoy a bit free time now.

The fact is most posts in a mafia game are useless and not helpful for determining alignment, accept it and get over yourself.

at the time your iso was a a clusterfuck of nothing so that statement holds merit

It actually doesn’t—whether someone has done something or not less than 24 hours into a game is very rarely relevant to their alignment, as almost nobody has done anything actually relevant to that point

Sprityo is town because no lynch is aggressive and because the haikus are nice.

Rej is scum because I think he is.

Wouldn’t this current play style of yours fit your mafia description that you’ve described to me?

Can you elaborate how no lynch is aggressive? Because he goes against the status quo or why?

Your scum read on rej, anything deep to it or just gut?

No I’m good at mafia when I’m mafia. Sometimes I’m good when I’m town. I think in a game like this a good sign of who is scum is “who, out of the action, seems to be on top of things”. That’s not the same as participating or whatever (none of the top posters seem to be particularly in control or understanding).
to why Sprit: Partially but also because it’s generally determined to be bad and unhelpful. It’s an attempt to make a statement against a game swept up by some meaningless fights.
to why Rej: I have reasons. I’m looking for a reaction.

I’m not going to proselytize about how rarely scum is caught this way, but uh

It’s essentially rand accuracy

I don't like this post either, can't really pinpoint why though. It's probably because I see you saying this preemptively to defend yourself for that ridiculous push.

To further explain, it felt like you went guns blazing and from your post, your main idea was that you were susing me. But then you say "shooting shit to get people going" as to make it seem like you were testing me and not having an actual scum read on me, which reads as really fake.

You seem to have pinpointed "why" just fine. Not really, it's the obvious truth. I mean that's just how I roll here by shooting the shit to get stuff going. I mean what do you think that emoji included in the initial post was trying to convey?

youre arguing over an emote

fairly wolfy the both of you

This is disingenuous.

The purpose of this is to grant its author permission to string together lynches while prioritizing the more vocal of the two. A lynched civilian nova leaves room for therealet to double-down on a lynch for his other "suspect."
