Come to think of it, you are a lot more memorable in this game than the last one. Are you more active in this one?Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:24 pmI agree, Syn didn't drive the conversation to be about himself, he was responding to questions and suspicions about him.Syn wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:12 pmwhat kind of opportunistic hogwash is thisVulgard wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:09 pm [VOTE: Syn] aubergine
I checked again and they have done nothing within their five posts. These posts were all spent on talking about themselves, their first post was a comment about the OP (which is not really game-related and is unlikely to out you as mafia when you talk about it as mafia), and they come across as trying to seem relaxed in the thread. Which is probably why they are spending so much time on "settling in."
I liked nutella's start, but I have some respect for their wolfgame, so I'm not going to pull an Alison and make a weakly supported solid townread on her out of nowhere.
Of course my posts are going to talk about me when I was responding to someone specifically asking me about my play style. Bro what
Just want to mention that it was not for no reason. It was to "try to save" the other villager who was one vote ahead of me. Admittedly, the stated reason of "he's worth more than I am alive" is questionable, but the action of giving away an elimination like that is so unwolfy, which is the position I successfully took the risk for.
Whatever it was, it broke me.Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:08 pmJust want to mention that it was not for no reason. It was to "try to save" the other villager who was one vote ahead of me.

It was F3, with you and the other villa at 1 votes each? The scum hammered you didn't they?Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:08 pmJust want to mention that it was not for no reason.

I don't think two wolves would try and tag-team a case on D1, and have such a wide divide on the logic behind it too. Alison's case has "makes sense" value behind it, while Vulgard's simply fell apart at the slightest breeze. If they wanted to establish a mis-elim as partners, Vulgard would have surely come up with something better than what he did.

you're gonna need more to catch alison as a wolf she's a goat
And I don't know that. I haven't seen Alison play at all.
it looks like you're trying to form reads and give an appearance of wolf hunting when a) it ain't really the time for it and b) your suspicions are of little substance atm
Yes, I am. I didn't feel like slanking, I think it's because I've gone over a week without a mafia game. Plus some old friends are playing, so that's exciting.Poison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:07 pmCome to think of it, you are a lot more memorable in this game than the last one.

I don't think mafia would try to do a miselim stunt at the start of the day tbh, but the progression was bad indeed.Syn wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:13 pmI don't think two wolves would try and tag-team a case on D1, and have such a wide divide on the logic behind it too.

Sorry, I should have said "other villager" in quotes. I was scum. Sloonei had to choose between Tony and I, and he chose wrong. There were other variables as well, some sketchiness surrounding Tony's claimed role, which I capitalized on.Poison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:12 pmIt was F3, with you and the other villa at 1 votes each?

Also, it's Syn's first game on the site, so it would be especially predatory for them to dive on together. Not that they really need to care about that; that's an old Syndicater perspective.Poison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:17 pmI don't think mafia would try to do a miselim stunt at the start of the day tbh, but the progression was bad indeed.Syn wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 10:13 pmI don't think two wolves would try and tag-team a case on D1, and have such a wide divide on the logic behind it too.

And then we get to the true crux of the game: How many people in the game are mafia?
In a 16-player game we're either looking at 12 vs 4 or 13 vs 3, depending on roles and mechanics.
Ha! Well, you didn't do it last time and it bit you in the ass! Just give me one phase to enjoy myself, at least.
Dude same tho

This was the game where LC self-voted for no reason and that confused me so much that I let him win at F3.
It depends. If you're the mafia, you probably want to kill me. If you're an innocent pure townie like me, you self-vote and hope your teammates will carry you.
MaphiaAlison wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 1:44 pmI could see Vulgard being scum but mostly because their posting looks kinda carefully controlled to be as inoffensive and trigger people's scumdars as little as possible. I had a confused reaction to that mechanic as well so I don't blame them for the mech chatter, and I think pre-slank excuses are NAI. There are very few people (in general, but especially on the Syndicate) who roll scum and then go "alright! I'm going to go and give an excuse so I can coast through D1!" Not only is this just uncommon behavior, it's also suboptimal - you allow yourself to engage in some anti-town behavior, but in exchange you lose a lot of ability to gain trust and manipulate the town. Syndicate is not a site that is afraid to exe slankers and you will win a lot more games by powerwolfing than coasting.
Town. I see you’ve already told us you are as well. This is wonderful news.
