You have an unusual early interest in my slot this game, and you're approaching it in a very hdegey way that makes me curious...have I ever seen your scum game?

Kind of like this post.

To be clear, I think it shows a towny mindset of suspicion: "Why am I so interesting to you, I shouldn't be interesting."

What is the most outwardly suspicious thing a person has done in this game so far?

Has anyone here played with Johanna before?

I feel like this is her first game? At least on the Syndicate.

Sig liking posts he hasn't read. But to be fair, he could have skimmed and just gotten an impression. It's possible. Actually, he's probably not lying about his reading process, cause that would just be unnecessary, but I sense that the way he added on the "I like your posts" to me in the very beginning wasn't coming from a good place. Didn't seem important enough to state as a read, but just there to appease me.

I don't think it's her first game overall, the way she said watching fleabag > mafia. I was assuming she had played elsewhere like the others.

Actually, this is probably the single post I like the least this game @Sloonei

Meanwhile Axehole just made 3 consensus reads, and just jumps on my wagon with a hidden vote.

Sig is even worse because he did next to nothing.

Like those 2 are way worse.

Don't go after the guy actively solving the fucking game. Come on now.

ilario wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:29 am I will admit, sloonei trying to avoid giving a read on JJJ is pretty towny and letting everyone develop their on stances on him naturally. I think as mafia he would probably feel more obligated to make his stance clear on jjj in a world where jjj is town.

However if this is what sloonei does regularly then my point doesn’t stand but I assume someone will correct me if I’m wrong

Oh yeah, the "I'll wait to give a read" thing, I think I've seen them both do to each other. Kind of hot tbh.

I thought it sounded more like mafia feeling it's unfair that they are suspected when others "look worse". And at that point, the "looking worse" was more so from low posting/low impact, as I understood it.

sig wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:42 amI will say if the claim is real kinda not a fun thing to do day 1. Takes alot of the sport from the game.

This reads a bit "claims aren't fair, cause then I can't push them" in my eyes

sig wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:47 amClaiming is 1 not fun and 2 it creates targets for mafia. Especially in a game without a doctor. It's literally just setting up easy targets for mafia and weakening the power of the PR roles.

You thinking claims aren't fun isn't really relevant to other people's alignment though.
We don't have a doctor, but we do have a delayed watcher. So a NK on a claim would be caught by the watcher.

I've been trying to explain that my SR of Sloonei was a joke, but he still maintains that I was serious, and that he TR's me for it. Reason being, I expect scum to lock themselves into reads more, and I expect townies to be more fluid.

Went back to take a look, and I'm not really clear on what Dolby was saying in your exchange. @Dolby If you could elaborate?

Lolk. Could I interest you in a delicious choice of Sig, or are you eyeing anyone else? I see that you don't have a vote down. I'm not very interested in the Marmot wagon myself, and don't particularly understand it.

Tony, I don't understand this or your read on Sig in general.
Here's the reason I suspect Sig:
- His mention of liking my posts - and actually the frasing was "I like all your posts" - served no other purpose than to appease me when he entered the thread. And it really does not seem like he has read or honestly evaluated all my posts. I can get it as a way of saying "I like your tone" if I stretch, but it just seems dishonest to me.
- He got defensive with Anarch and sussed him for omgusing and that he didn't like him calling for a claim on D1. He doesn't really talk about why that is scummy beyond not liking it, except now that "It can give mafia a target". It just seems like a typical thing low effort mafia will latch on to imo.
- I just don't find anything towny in his posts.

Where am I going wrong in your opinion?

Sig has not done anything that makes me believe that he is town.

There are 4 mafia in this thread. Who do you think they are, if you were to take a wild guess?

A lot can change between now and then and rather putting an uninformed vote I’m gonna trust my vote to the triad. @Son of Anarch @Dyslexicon my vote is all yours just ping me with your thoughts sometime towards eod and I’m Happy to sheep for today.

My only person poe rn probably looks
Something like tsp/lime(sadly this might be the first time I sr you on a day 1 like ever so I hope I’m not wrong)/maybe falcon or dolby, potentially sig?

But yeah I’d imagine a lot will change from now till eod so imma ride it out with the triad.

Can I ask where you live?

My PoE is similar, add Johanna and G-man.
Kind of think Sig is just mafia here though.
But day is still not over.
Triad power!

Jo is kinda polarized and a wet fish as mafia from the games I've played with her

She gave slank cover pre-game for day one and I think she'll be a easy read later on

Oh, I have been asking if people knew her lol.
Are you saying here that she has polarized metas?
Cause wet fish is what I've seen so far imo.
But the slank cover is noted.

Honestly, Dolby seems to have "sharper edges" than the one game I just played with him, and he was mafia. Lol onegamemeta lol

Fish are supposed to be wet.

The one game I played with scum Jo she was very much a wet fish and I was the only one seeing it

I think given she has given significant slank cover this isn't abnormal, and if she's a fish out of water/struggling to produce anything I'd turbo the slot

I can like posts from tone which is what I said. If I'm going to pocket it won't be like that anyway.

Anarch instantly called me mafia for essentially going agaisnt his idea of claiming. Whihc again I'll follow with what I said before.

1. You want to out a town PR role, never good.
2. gives the mafia targets. You can say watcher will look which is all well and good, BUT that also straight up means watcher is going to be on that person leaving everyone else open. Not to mention watcher claimed so they can just go for him. Also sorry it isn't fun and against the spirit of the game to claim D1 and I'm sticking to that as a good reason alone regardless of strategy not to claim.
3. The whole case around me is dumb and seems like everyone here just has confirmation bias going on. So not really going to go out of my way to play super hard and still get lynched since people decided to go with an easy day 1 and/or just dislikes my view on claiming.

That I think you were more appeasing and wanted to seem like you cared about the game more then, iirc.
Honestly, it probably doesn't even matter.

I skimmed through what I missed from the game but I really don't have a change of mind at all.

Towny take,

that game I was consciously putting in effort to pocket Blade and Quick

@sig my reason for wanting to vote you is simply an absence of posts that scream “town” at me. This point is amplified because so many other people have looked fairly town. So rolling over is the least helpful strategy for you to employ if your mission is to seay me and only me.

Why do you read them town?

I really wish I could remember but I actually don't. It was probably tone read at the most.

Alright. As I asked you earlier, do you think Anarch openly fishes for a role claim as mafia like that, if it's clearly anti-town?

Also, this game has four scum in it, and I haven't seen you have many suspects yet. I assume you plan to get a vote down?

Inb4 Sig/Anarch team

I'll be vaguely around, but probably won't be awake at EoD because that's how time zones work

Also, rolling over is town meta, #syndicate

Actually, that post I quoted from sloonei might be the most ridiculous thing I've seen all game.

"Don't do this thing that is part of your town meta and which townies generally do on this site, if you so that I'll have to scum read you, and vote you out"
