The Syndicate

I'm just mentioning this because I find it game relevant to bring up my concern that there's a world where they're mafia and get townread off of the assumption they're a beginner. They're definitely not a beginner, and them lying about it, if they are, isn't necessarily scummy, as in that world they have the objective to hide themselves regardless of alignment. But please be wary to not get blinded by them, I would find it helpful to perceive them as a non-newbie player and be careful.

Your verity of exasperation is striking me as, perhaps, forced this game. Is that fair of me? It’s like you want us to underestimate your gameplay so you can muddle to the end.

I believe in you- if you

This feels correct.

This is just how I've chosen to talk. You can verify this by isoing me here, I was town: viewtopic.php?t=2545

You are comparing me to a younger me from years ago who used to talk differently. The difference might be there but it's not forced, you just didn't see the gradual journey. @Scotty

She was a rare case in which she looked even better than the photos on the dating app suggested she might. I had had a very long week, including a lot of graduate school work and a couple other dates as well. My brain was a scramble, but I still tried to keep my enthusiasm elevated so that it could be engaging and minimally awkward for her. I arrived first, and soon after she pulled up in her own car. I waved excitedly and said "hey Sarah!"

Her name was Samantha. Sarah was a previous date. I mixed the names up in a momentary miserable blunder. She corrected me immediately, and then we spent 90 minutes walking around trying to pretend that didn't happen. Miraculously, there was a second date here... but not a third.

(name is changed for privacy)

Cape90 was killed. He was a bad date, and

it was my fault. Town.

Cape90 was was another member of the graduate program that I had met a few times at board game nights hosted by mutual friends. She was cute, and I was feeling bold, so I asked her out. She was bashful in response, but still agreed. We got lunch a few days later. I don't really remember much about that lunch; I think I blacked out. It's all blank to me. All I can remember is that somehow, at some point in our awkward chatter, I found myself talking about something dramatically un-date-like.

9/11.

I avoided her in the hallways after that.

Actually my bad I misread the post a little. You were talking about "verity of desperation". I wasn't familiar with that word verity so I understood it as reading me to tonally. Not quite the same. So sure maybe linking my game still somewhat relevant. You posted a reaction gif of being puzzled at one of my posts earlier which was a normal me post.

I found myself talking about something dramatically un-date-like.

9/11.

Epignosis was the first person I asked out when I arrived at a new home in Ohio after the I finished my time in the military. I still had a mind for fitness and action, and she had spoken of her affinity for the local hill hikes. So we hiked. I sorely underestimated the strenuousness of the hike and overestimated the firmness of the dirt under my feet. I wore ordinary shoes, a t-shirt, and shorts with nothing else on my person save maybe a bottled water in my pocket. She had a whole-ass backpack, hiking boots, a stick, and various other "we're fucking hiking, bitch" gear. I could tell immediately when she got a look at me that 1) this would not go well, and 2) she felt the same way. But we trudged on anyway, and I barely managed to maintain any kind of conversation amid my heavy breathing and slow progress through the mud. I think I might have ruined my shoes in the woods.

falcon was the first date that I didn't even realize was a date.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 6:02 pm but for realzies? I don't see what DarlingMonroe saying is happening here in any way applying to the first two pages of Tutuu's iso in Jay's First Dates.

On the other hand, it would be super weird for wolf Tutuu to point to a prior towngame where she didn't act the same as she's acting now and be like "compare these games" and it makes more sense for town Tutuu to self consciously or internal monologuely think her play is the same in both games and she's got this bad meta issue.

tutuu wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 10:11 am I don't find anything posted so far alignment indicative. I could try and give out some gut leans, but if I'm not sure, what's even the point? As they likely won't be all accurate. The only potential pro is to not get myself scumread as Giving Reads Early is considered Standard Etiquette for a Good Samaritan Townie ... but yet ... what do I do when I don't have reads and I don't care about manipulating people by being mafia?... Am I brave enough to go against the grain?... They bullied Galielo Galilei out of his right read that the Earth is round ... Peer pressure can be a powerful tool ... And yet ... Be brave?

tutuu wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 12:20 pm Alright. Enough messing around from me. If we, the Town, want to win this game, we need to take it seriously. And that means throwing out reads in order to generate discussion. Anything short of that would be lazy. As such, my reads are as follows:

Fwiw (just in the future if this info might help you) - I believe syndicate demands 128x128 or 125x125 or 100x100 pixel size avatars max. It doesn't automatically resize it. So you could use Microsoft Paint or a website to resize and crop avatars for you. Phones can do it too.

My theory does kinda work even reading that game because while you were kinda avoidant of giving reads & instead just joked around in Beans, in Guitar you were fine engaging with the playerlist & getting some reads on the board even while just enjoying usual conversation
