The Syndicate

I’m not confident about LC. I’m not sure I care. He has a way of discouraging confidence on purpose.

Posted: **Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:00 pm**

This is a true story. The events depicted took place at The Syndicate Forum in April 2021. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

And so we come to perhaps the bloodiest chapter in the long and violent history of the Syndicate Forum. And here I'm speaking of Fargo Mafia, 2021, commonly referred to by townspeople as the "Massacre at [redacted]". Readers will note that I have chosen to file this case as a [redacted] crime, even though most of the murders took place in [redacted]. But I believe the key to understanding this complex and nuanced crime is to look at the story about this little boy.

He was born in a field and raised in the woods. And he had nothing. In the winter the boy would freeze and in the summer he would boil. He knew the name of every stinging insect. At night he would look at the lights in the houses and he would want: Why was he outside and they’d be in? Why was he so hungry and they fed? "It should be me", he said. And out of the darkness, the wolves came whispering...

Day 1 begins.
You have 48 hours to decide on an elimination.

I should be thankful of how privileged i am - i have a roof over my head, i have a heater and blankets thats keeping my warm, i have cosmetic products like toothpaste, i have access to the internet and free time, im in perfect health. In the grand scope of things this is so privileged compared to so many peoples' lives. I take these stuff for granted but all these wonderful stuff ought to be appreciated. I express my gratitude

As long as she is pushing an agreeable view, it is "optimal" to let her do that. That was even true when she was mafia in the Bread game, because her associations with DkKoba were more visible as a result.

This will be difficult to qualify in a way that is convincing, because it is a highly contextual read given the atmosphere of the thread during his first appearance. He made one initial read (that falcon is town), and did not try to put forth anything more than that, at least not right away. It was a read that mirrored my own in the moment (and it preceded the thread consensus on falcon that has come since; indeed I think Mac helped to motivate that consensus). His reasoning for that read was appropriate for me. I also appreciate his initial handling of JPIC -- some manner of suspicion, but not the sort that he actually felt like bringing up until someone else did first. I felt the same way. I had a tiny ping of suspicion to JPIC for his entry to the game and didn't bother talking about it because it inspired little-to-nothing in me. Mac's comments mirror that. Then overall his reads (1) are (2) agreeable (3) enough (4).

Posted: **Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:31 pm**

i think that jagged, sloonei, strawhenge, tutuu, falcon are all town (with tutuu being the least confident name in that list)

i think that marmot, oddmerta, JPIC, AL_sama, alison is a pool with at ~least~ one wolf, but probably multiple

No amount of town reads is too many based on our last game together.

Both claiming mafia and self-voting have been typical of SPF in our games together. Neither means anything to me.
