See y'all tomorrow.

Ok.

I mean, have the playstyle that you want, but it's valid for people to get annoyed at you.

I'm sure everything will be fine in the end

I have not commented on G-man yet: he has done nothing, but I don’t hold that against him. He’s a Grown-Man with adult things to do. He’ll join us for this game when he’s good and ready. However, when POE is the objective, and other players are separating themselves as town reads, G is by necessity going to be left in the pool of suspects.

The same is true of Johanna, though I know less about her extended absence on Day 1.

Dizzy quick, I need your thoughts on falcon!

I remember liking one post of his (poking at Jimmay), but that's not a very strong point considering there are actually 4 mafia here.

Someone, maybe more, was floating the idea that consensus PoE is LHF. Which is sort of true. But I've seen this happen before in games with a lot of more active players who know each other well, and a lot of the time, it's because the PoE is actually pretty good. If the thread is full of actively engaged town who know each other, mafia just can't keep up. I'm hoping this is such a game.

My PoE now is: Sig, TSP, Lime, G-Man, Johanna, Falcon, Axe and Dolby, with Dolby feeling better to me as of late.
I don't really think Sig/TSP are teamed.
I don't think Axe/Dolby are teamed based on the last page.

I have a vague concern about falcon that he has a town meta that is very easy to hide behind while also being under no pressure to handle his teammates in any particular way. By being the POE-contrarian, he can just skate by (as mafia) by contesting whatever reads the most vocal townies come up with regardless of their accuracy.

This is not a concrete case, just an observation about the way he has played this game and how it would be viable for a mafioso. In the absence of a town-read, I am willing to entertain the thought more seriously.

Reading back at Falcon, there's a lot of shading, and some scum reads I still don't really understand. I don't really understand how Ilario is more "soft" than others. I've played with Falcon before, but I don't really have a good grasp of their meta.

I have limited experience actually playing with falcon. I feel like I’ve hosted him more than I’ve played with him.

I would probably not object to a cfd on any of the people in my PoE =)

Somebody has to host a game where multi-chops is a mechanic.

I am still leaning toward a sig vote, but that’s not confident in the sense that I actively suspect him. He’s the player I town-read the least.

This would be the true RYM revival.

@Sloonei I still don't really get the big Marmot suspicion, or is it more just a why not kind of vote?

I have no active suspicions at the moment. My “suspects” are better defined as “not town-reads.”

I put my vote on Marmot a while ago because sig had all the votes and there was no productive reason for me to leave mine there. Marmot was next in line for some scrutiny.

Relatable. But I'm pretty at peace with my vote on Sig here

Random thought: the more I think about it, the more I feel falcon’s read in ilario is contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. That is Not Good.

Tbh, I though Sloonei's play was. Pretty towny today, but this post is so Wolfy.

i caught up with the game and fwiw, im not really interested in chopping marmot today. i dont find his posts particularly villagery but they are villagery enough (and i sense that marmot's alignment will become more obvious in the next few dayphases) that i don't really think he's worth going after today

my vote would probably land on sig but im open to exploring other options

[VOTE: sig] aubergine

Off to work. Will check on things if I can, but there’s no guarantee of that. Keep doing things, y’all.

Today fell apart on me and I will not be able to catch up before the deadline. Sorry for being a Day 1 dud.

I believe that I can catch up during the night phase and early Day 2. I don't see anything in the rules against posting at night, so I may even be able to throw some thoughts in the thread in chunks rather than a wall of text at the end.

If you have an insatiable hunger for low-hanging fruit, I'm your target.

I don't think I can be here for EoD and don't want to change my vote in case an emergency change is needed. Spiritually my vote is on sig

Any options in particular you'd like to explore?

If you had to choose between the people having votes already, who would it be?
Also what's your thoughts on Sig?

It's pretty quiet. Don't know if dadv, as the kids say, or mafia doesn't have thread control

Hey all, bad news: internet outage in my area. I’m using the last of my data to be here

Ah. I see it’s dead anyways, huh?

Anyone wanna make things interestin’ while we still can?

The struggle is real. Seems like most people are away for EoD in any case. Hope the magic of internet returns to your life soon!

I mean, I don't think there's anyone else who actually scum reads Ilario.

Why is Sig town and what are you going to do about that if you think so?

Gotta agree with whoever said Falcon Man is being contrarian for the sake of contrarian. That read has me a bit puzzled compared to the other ones.

And yeah gonna echo my pal Dyslexicon’s take here. No way I’m votin’ Ilario here and he’s decently town read by everyone, so you’re admittin’ to just making a vanity vote.

Alright Dizzy, I’m game.

He hasn't, a GTH read from me is the same as a gut read.


I feel he'd come across more agenda-y if he were Maf

Oh look, 2 players I've called out as scum are trying to push a CFD on me.


Never seen scum do that before

i remember you calling son of anarch scum (https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 85#p856385), but where did you call dizzy scum? (or me, if that's who you are referring to)
