The Syndicate

The first spark of conflict ignited over the Mojave, and the region braced for bloodshed. They soon realized that they had all sorely underestimated the threat of Caesar's Legion (or overestimated the strength of the New California Republic). The local NCR contingent crumbled in a single, decisive battle. Hundreds of troopers and rangers lay dead, claimed by the wastes to join their ancient American forebears in the anonymity of destroyed democracy. The New Vegas region, while never entirely amenable to NCR influence, recoiled at the immediacy of their new reality. What powers remain that can stand in the way of Caesar's slavers?

Day 1 Poll

Night 1 has ended.

@Michelle has been killed. She was:



Disturbed by the Legion's rout of the NCR, the Bright Brotherhood determined that the time had come to make their pilgrimage to the Far Beyond. The NCR had never been terribly kind to ghouls, but they knew the Legion would be liable to shoot them on sight. They hadn't finished preparations yet, but what's the worst that could happen? Naturally, they all exploded and died.

@☆Princess Abigail☆ has been killed. She was:



Times must be hard indeed. Somehow even the Gun Runners Vendotron is dead. That thing is invulnerable! It's literally coded that way into the game! How can this be? OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we kill him if this flips town?

D1 wagons should be solved anyway

So wolves killing Michelle could be trying to prevent her from doing this, but if the purpose is to protect seanzie the better kill to make is probably me so...

I think it more likely its at least in part meant to make seanzie look worse.

Like I'm agreeing with the iso being bad.

I am confident in him being not town

So Michelle eats an NK after being the ringleader of the day 1 miselim? Interesting. Probably not likely if she isn't at least on point elsewhere and a direct threat to at least ONE mafia member.

For me it makes sense, sorry if it's hard to read

I got t now. Basically, you think sig isn't Mafia because no one s saving him.

When Eod is so silent and there are some people not posting, if he flips mafia I would look hard at who was absent from Eod

Meh this is shade on me but I'm town.

Yeah there's not much in the ISO that points at Michelle being killed as a threat. A little push on Chelsea and lightly on Brad. Chelsea and Brad have some ... oddness there I'd like to explore but I'm not suggesting Michelle dying is AI to them. So I am t thinking it might be likely she was a 3p kill and Abi was the mafia NK.

Can you all just clear me off the NKs though because there's like no fucken world in this game where I use N1 KP on Abi or Michelle and anyone who knows me knows that is true. It's not a slight against them, they are just both entirely unlikely to ever really earnestly trouble me in the way I like to win as a wolf. My KP in this game goes on the likes of Chelsea, Brad, Scotty, Epi and especially Seanzie.

NKs aside, I should have known sig was town when he was just laying down and taking it, acting all wolfy. Typical town sig behavior. Sorry sig.

I’m not town leader today, but I might still postcap

Homie it's not poignant agenda. It's a straightforward read. The top and third top posters died and you were the second top poster. That points at you in a level 1 way. Trying to dress up a reasonable analysis as agenda is actually wolfier than what merited the read in the first place. Play a straight bat Scotty.

Uh Mac and Seanzie wagons succ so I'm voting the next biggest wagon I don't explicitly town read

Doubt mafia kills this if Seanzie is mafia. Town Abigail looks like a wolf ally in Seanzie or Mac mafia worlds.

So I'm gonna solve in the world that Seanzie is town and that was a DADV EOD for a bit.

Chelsea, Manny, Scotty, TSP, LC, Jack level 1 POE off wago. Probably 1 between Epi and Falcon due to the RO3 on the Seanzie wagon (unless Seanzie is mafia and I'm misreading the NKA).

Jack's EOD felt the most like "I'm just here so I won't get fined". Scotty at least was progressing the game so I will do the due diligence of trying to read you in good faith and solve with you and see if we can find a way to obv town you through townsiding. Chelsea feels like a reliably likely wolf, though probably not w/w with Manny, who I actually do think is the towniest in the list. Don't think LC hit town notes, and Jack had him as a member of his towncore so @Jackofhearts2005 elaborate on your LC read in a way that I can believe or I'll lock POE you.

@TonyStarkPrime speed up your curve and get towny or die.

@Scotty give me your top 3 town please.

@Seanzie yours too please.

@Lime Coke do you have any suspects here? Any thoughts on anything?

Noting that we had 2 deaths last night, and my conclusion is they were both Mafia.
It could be have the town vig, but ngl either of those are absolutely inoptimal town vig shots and I don’t want to operate in that donkey Kong world.

Couldn’t have been any of the aggro indies.
It could have been courier #5. Could have been, I just don’t know what weird agenda they have to kill a top poster like that.

In any case, it’s certainly not townsiding, so I must operate from the assumption, like Mac is doing, that mafia wanted them dead.

@Mackel sorry, I thought for some reason you were pointing to me being the 8 ball in the corner pocket because Michelle had suspected me for some time. Didn’t realize it was a post count thing.

I think it more likely that
-Michelle had…almost no one town reading her, except me early on.
-Abbi was hitting all her town notes and I don’t think anyone would have a good time finding her wolf any time soon.

I would make my case that I’m not scared of keeping around players that find me wolfy, and plus, wolves might just want to keep me around for later miselim fodder. Will see

I have….no reason to townread any of those names. Jack at least seemed bouncy and solvey towards end of day, which didn’t set off any warning bells. So there’s that.

Chelsea I can’t remember literally anything except the vague impression of an exasperated ‘Manny, play with me!’ (Which is grossly exaggerated but that’s my headcanon)

Falcon is absolutely within his wolf meta. I can usually figure him out over a few days, but not hitting town notes atm.

Epi is probably a computer algorithm and never existed to begin with.

LC had been tunneling me for most the day, which is something I want to figure out for alignment. If anything, I feel his aggressiveness is different than his recent town games that I’ve seen. Far less jokey. But importantly, I might be colored because I seem to be the object of his ire. Scumlean

Making reads or judgments about the game based upon who you see in the "Who is online" section under the thread

Creature wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 10:02 pm Oh did it start?

Also is there a maximum number of posts?

Okay so I didn't actually read the gamestart prior to now but Creature asking this question is a very awkward entrance given there were posts before this and he clearly knew it was starting. This is like the definition of "I dunno what to say". Then the post cap question is like... irrelevant to him considering he ended up 42 posting so it just looks like fluff for the sake of it.

I'm on my phone in bed (should be asleep), so I'm not going to go search for a post. It was a shortpost, and I'd guess if you ctrl+f "sleep" in Jack's iso, it will be onvious which one.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 11:14 pm @Scotty give me your top 3 town please.

I should mention because I was thinking of Seanzie- he would’ve been a GREAT vig target.

If we had a vig, I would have assumed they would’ve shot yesterday. I do not think we have a vig (this is all based on how I would play of course)

Anyway, 3 town? Hmmmmm

So I did some thinking in the night and Dunnstral should be town, but I’m actually thinking they could be exactly a deepwolf in the making. The way they were pocketing me was very smooth and I chalked it up to me just being town as shit yesterday (I know, I know, only a few groupies agreed) but I think I might be getting it all wrong. Might be. Too scared to vote there tho.

That didn’t answer your question.

LanMila had some good back and forth. Not tooo blendy, and not scared to make reads.
Ironically, I think you came out of yesterday being pretty towny. I’ve flip flopped on you in my head and will probably do so as the day goes on, but for now you’re town to me.

I was coming around on Creature. He has emerged in the back half of the day as someone I wouldn’t mind borrowing my sugar

So this is awkward. The post I was thinking of was actually TSP saying something about tumbling face first into a sig elim. It appears Jack parroted that idea in at least two posts using the "sleepwalking" thing, so I guess that just got my memory wires mixed up.

Mac, Seanzie, Scotty. Let’s form a posse and pour one {Lime Coke} out for the homies.
