Good to know nonetheless. Looking forward to playing with you, wolbre!
thank you, juliets! you're my fav! <3 I'll be sure to check in with you at various points in this game, don't worry.juliets wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 8:08 am Hello everybody! I am the facilitator for this game. As JJJ said in his first rule, please be mindful of how your words might affect others beyond the scope of a mafia game. If you find yourself irritated, frustrated or downright angry at someone else please contact me to work through that. Please do not erupt in the thread and please refrain from throwing personal insults at another person. I am fine with you yelling at or insulting me instead! Also note if I think I see something brewing I will reach out to you and see if I can help.
A word about my schedule: I work from about 10:00 to 1:15 three to four days a week so I'm out of the thread those days from about 9:30 am - 1:30 pm. If you try to contact me during that time know that I will get back to you as soon as I get home. Finally, this is an awesome players list and I'm jealous that I'm not playing with you. And welcome new people, yay!
why?

I'm not implying anything; I just thought it was a bit presumptuous for sig to be all like "here's some info about wolbre!" before anyone even asked. It's sig though (I love the guy but he does say things without being prompted, so it's not out of character), and I don't think there's anything meaningful there upon reflection.dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:05 pmwhat are you implying? why did you choose to call sig out on this but not Sloonei for his meta-comments on Choutas/Colin/Kites from RYM a post above yours?M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 3:57 pmBut no one asked about wolbre yet.sig wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 2:52 pm Also wolbre and I are from the same original site, we've aldo played on mu once together.

why marmot?
Classic. Parking a Marmot-like vote onto the man himself, giving him a taste of his own medicine. I like it.

I agree with that. sig's post was more excited overall, but I don't know how to use that to reflect on his alignment.
Okay. A few things.dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:28 pmwhy marmot?
i'm leaning towards a scotty vote. is he usually sincere? is not voting for people you've never played with general etiquette? i've never played with him before but letting everyone he's never played with avoid his day 1 vote seems like a good way to seem friendly and agreeable.
I guess so. The man is an enigma.

well, is he being sincere in his reasons to not vote for people he's never played with on day 1, giving us carte blance just cos we're new to him. or is he someone who can use fake sincerity for other motives.
okay.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:33 pm For some players, sure. Tends to be more so for LP-based players or old timers, but in my assessment it's not strikingly out of character for Scotty to say something like this if that's what you're wondering. Typically Scotty likes to vote for lower-participants or lurkers on Day 1; he usually has some sort of underlying method to his early votes.
i've called you out on plenty of things already, but being overly friendly is not one of them. I didn't call Scotty overly friendly either, I'm saying his post implies an agreeable tone that people would struggle to go against.
First MP begins to talk. Then his words become more and more sarcastic, until he dies. When he resurrects he becomes completely pedantic.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:33 pmOkay. A few things.dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:28 pmwhy marmot?

What kind of question is "is he usually sincere?" What does that even mean? Explain.

And I can assume that you are taking this a step forward and implying Scotty is being disingenuous? Why single him out for that, instead of someone such as yours truly who has made a few posts that could be considered overly friendly so far?
Thanks for the background.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:43 pm Scotty used to be in the habit of voting low-posters early on. I think he did this in the Game of Champions but it started so long ago that I’m not sure.
Giving new/unfamiliar players a pass on Day 1 is not uncommon among the various cultures that The Syndicate grew up from. The tenants of this community are hospitality, murder, and mayhem.

Does any of that factor in to give you a read on Scotty, Dunya, or MP?
Hello, it’s good to be playing with you again.

Probably not, but I'll consider that response in more depth later.
I think this comes unconsciously from my first mafia game on...uh...whatever the site that sig comes from. I was NK’d day 1 and didn’t understand why. I didn’t even know what was going on, and i’m glad I kept with mafia. It really put me off tho and I’m glad I stuck with it. Not voting for people I don’t know then on D1 is indirectly related.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:43 pm Scotty used to be in the habit of voting low-posters early on.

I played pretty heavily from 2015 to mid 2017, then took a six month break, then hosted GoC. So I haven't probably played in close to a year, other than briefly in the Syndicate 2018 sock game (roleplaying as Marmot).

What that means for MP calling me good is a whole nother thing. I’m not sure I like it.
@dunya it’s funny you’re questioning my sincerity because I was questioned by SVS about that in GOC and I was very town. I could very well be mafia here (and sorry teammates, if I am) but I still haven’t checked my role card.
I’ll check it later tonight when I get home
