The Syndicate

Well we have eight minutes. I don't feel a falcon vote.

But I can't and feel like the best way to explain my thought process is to simply say "I'M WASHED" and that should suffice.

Remember that bit about redemption?

Time to saddle up, cowboy.

I can understand on some level Lime Coke's desire to keep long-timers alive in the simple spirit of the reunion that is this player list. That's not the most inspired thing, but I wouldn't call the mindset alien. I can understand Delta viewing that as bizarre too. Lime Coke kind of acknowledged that...

falcon The pressure he directed toward me early in the day fwlt aimless and arbitrary. I had a pretty different perspective of this. I will give falcon a little time (maybe very little with the deadline approaching) to answer for himself before I expand. With time constrained, I will expand on this...

Cannot. Click. Things. Error. Error. Error. Error. Error.

It's unusual for me to vibe so little with Sloonei as of the last half hour of a Day 1. My boy is allowed to start slow, but this is starting snail.

Lime Coke wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 4:23 pm No not really.

Canned Coke with Lime, I am confused. Why?

Lime Coke wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 4:18 pm Okay JJJ I just got 2 internal server errors in the last minute.

Yeah unfortunately they're interrupting half of my posts and clicks. If it was worse during Avengers, perhaps it'll chill out soon.

I don't much care how it looks, but what's your rationale?
Wouldn't feel as bad if it's a miss.

Do you have a specific suspicion of falcon that overrules your previous dark green town read?

Hi splints! To whom does this refer?
G man

Thanks. I appreciate G-Man's efforts and wouldn't vote him today.

@falcon45ca refer to Sloonei's gripe

Hi splints! To whom does this refer?

Anyone else frequently getting the “internal server error” screen?

Someone else please interpret Long Con’s suspicion of me. I’m undecided.

Beefing with my use of “other” in a reads list instead of explicitly writing the names — silly

Beefing with my G-Man vote — perhaps more on-brand for him

Delta wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 4:39 pm I do like that Falcon took my post and then went to read both Lime/GMan afterwards, could've just brushed me off and left it at the response he gave me. Feels townie \o/

I also liked this falcon take from Delta.

Please, doctor, tell me everything.

Questions for JJJ- 1) You arrive at a light green read on Falcon without much interaction with him. This implies you're clearing him mostly on meta grounds. Are you comfortable with that assessment, or can you point to something of substance in Falcon's posts that make that light green read more co...

Whoops. I got my colors wrong. Jay has Falcon is solid green, not light green. "Light green" may still be appropriate, though the difference is in the eye of the beholder. Lime Coke was extra light green. I hesitate to clear people too conclusively in this game state, so they can be regar...

I think it’s about time to start seeing Sloonei things.

@G-Man re: Epignosis

I would say the one liners are typical these days. He’s efficient.

@G-Man re: Delta

I haven’t played with him either, but I have spectated on a few occasions. If I could describe his style in three words: amicable, enthusiastic, effortful

Welcome to ISO-kicking time at the OK Corral. I've got a half-bathroom to paint this weekend, starting soon, so I don't have much more time to commit to the day phase. I'm going to look at ISO's, post a surface-level reading comment or two, and a question for the group and the individual player ISO...

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 10:08 am No I get it. Process of elimination. Just give me a funny feeling.

You gathered it, yes. I’m kind of bedridden and posting from mobile, so I granted myself the lazy “other”.

I don’t think I will vote for a zero poster today either. I have no reason to associate either Wilgy or splints with the deliberate avoidance of the thread as mafia, so it’d be a wild guess.

Delta Epignosis falcon45ca Lime Coke Other Not exactly where I’d like to be at this point, but also perhaps manageable given the slow pace. It could be worse. With two mafia, we’re allowed three misses (POE pool of five, which calls for a town pool of six not including oneself). We’re not quite the...

Is that good or bad?

@Roxy, you asked me what constitutes a falcon post. The prototype would probably be some combination of silly, frank, and accusatory. I think posts like that eventually arrived for falcon.

Lime Coke wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 7:47 am By the way my absence was because of being in the hospital with a family member. The connection and WiFi was shit so I was sort of in a dark hole from the rest of the world.

I hope all’s well

Epignosis wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 11:43 pm Also, if you will look at the schedule JJJ keeps in his office, you will note that I am working my ass off tomorrow and Sunday (as usual). I will attempt to squeeze in what time I can.

I was about to take you to task for this, but then I realized my Epignosis schedule was still on April.

No vote I hate expressing what I'm about to express. I suspect falcon because he is being more active. Does that make sense? Does it make sense why I hate saying it? It makes sense that you'd hate saying it. Slow games like these are very much a rock and a hard place experience, because we can leas...

Just hosted him. He was civilian and largely inactive there. Pretty sure he was more excited about being Captain America than he would ever be about being a rabbit. I would have expected at least a "Hello friends, I am most definitely Dr. Edward C. Rabbitt were he mafia. My instinct is that Wi...

I don't think Wilgy is mafia. I'm sitting here thinking through motivations for a not mafia read on someone with zero posts. Do I believe a mafia Epignosis would make this read on DrWilgy if they're not teammates? I would not expect that. Why discard one's own bait? Do I believe a mafia Epignosis w...

G-Man wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 7:46 pm This assumes a chaotic evil approach, in which the baddies don't put a lot of stake in the pride of winning the game either though. So your mileage may vary depending on the proclivities and egos of the baddie players.

Is this a theory that you would like to pursue?

G-Man has given me non-zero town credit for puns. That's definitely a new one.

Undecided if I care about this either way, so this post may be largely pointless. Just thinking aloud.

Agreed

To be clear: I have no read on Sloonei. I am patient with him though. He generally gets around to the Sloonei things eventually. Or he doesn't.

Delta has ascended from an "I won't vote for Delta, because in this game environment I cannot afford to vote for Delta" read to an actual town read. Neato.

I dont want to lean into meta too much here, but is that out of the ordinary for G-Man? Not a player I'm familiar with at all so for the most part I attributed it to personality That's a good question.

Separately: it’s great to play with G-Man. So many old faces. I weep joyfully.

To be fair, the alphabet project may constrain language and make things awkward.

Waffling wonderfully with wild wordy weirdos.
