I was just going to say it would be funny if jack created a game that was just all town. It would be like a monsters are due on maple street type deal. Jack is the only real mafia making us all turn on each other.

this “what if we’re all town” speculation is, in my experience, more likely to actually come from town

Epi is joking.

proto came up with a really strong "Alison only uses the word pure when she's mafia" tell out of the blue in Space Invaders, and he was referencing that.

To rephrase....

I saw town indicative behavior from Epi. Epi is good enough to fake that behavior over a short amount of time. If he’s town, the behavior will continue. If he’s mafia, it won’t. So, he’s probably clear, but not 100% clear. Thus, soft locked

Wisp is a civilian for ordering me to vote for a dude before I determined I agreed with him.

sabie12 is a civilian for acknowledging the miller claim pile in a way that suggests she doesn't give a crap.

I see no reason to call Funnygurl555 a civilian. I may harbor active suspicion of her merely for being so quiet to start an otherwise active game.

I see no reason to call DrWilgy a civilian.

I think other people are playing. Let me look. Yeah they have no posts yet.

It depends upon the arrangements of the roles he has decided to feature.

The point is that we cannot fart around in a Jack game. Play hard at all times or suffer the consequences.

You're right on time. The game isn't difficult to read; the posts are small. I'm ready for your takes sprityo. You've an underrated penchant for making strong early reads, and you're also the only player on The Syndicate other than myself to be >50% in win rate with over 40 games played. Let's ruin those who would threaten our claim to glory, yes?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 2:36 am Given my [limited] experience playing with and observing Funnygurl, I would describe her civilian play as engaged, dangerous, and alive. She reminds me of Literal Jack in that way.

Her seven posts so far strike me as timid, and the miller claim is meaningless. This isn't the start I would anticipate from her.

In my experience townFG does not respond particularly productively to pressure. YMMV, that’s been my experience
