The Syndicate

Town vibes:

Scotty (he's pushing on people and making too much of a show. I looked at his old games and he's not like behaving abnormally different from his town games (https://mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?t=2201, https://mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?t=2203) but also old games)

Wikgz (feels like his usual weird self, he's doing his weird sheeping thing)

Bad vibes:

Mac: his vibes are off and he's not making much sense.

Cape: really not a fan of his opening at all

Everyone else:

Null

@obscurity why did you say that saying townreads are useless rn but then say a townread like a couple of post later when not much has changed in the game state?

Wanna enlighten the class on this one? Any other reads you got?

Happy to see Jack again and not happy to see he's gimmicking again....

@Cape90 same question but in regards to Falcon?

@obscurity why do you think what I said wasn't fake able?

@Scotty you have a lot of thoughts on people's openings. Rank em

@Neon why did Anne vote you?

@DrWilgy why did you choose cape to kingmaker and why are we kingmaking a closed set up

None of these questions are productive because they make assumptions. You're assuming that Seanzie and Cape90 haven't towntold, which I disagree with. Seanzie had a pretty loud opening, immediately declaring himself as town and asserting that he knew who the wolves were. This isn't super townie, but it is lightly townie to be so brazen. Cape90 came out right away with a clear townread on falcon and was somewhat skeptical of people already calling him townie, to me those things are lightly townie because it shows a small level of self-absorption and it's stating a read clearly so early on in the game without any "frills".

I mean they're definitely not locktown level or anywhere near, but those were the openings that seemed the best to me. Similarly, why would Neon know why I scumread them when I didn't really provide an explanation beyond quoting the post I thought was scummy?

I do have to disagree on the whole self proclaiming the self as town in their first post when plenty of wolfs have abused that strat to get townie points during rvs. So from my pov that's a NAI statement and I don't understand how you can think that's towny. Also the fact Seanzie never really vocalized said wolf read is eyebrow raising because like if it's so obvious why not talk about it. He has popped in the thread enough to not say it.

To the cape point, someone said people who question why they are tr tend to be scum. So I feel like it's a way for scum to feel like they are part of the game and try to appear paranoid. I just don't trust it. Also tr Falcon based off like three posts and saying he's their strongest tr when Falcon is very much in his wolf range is eyebrow raising.

I said it was the closest to not being fakable and explained why. Logically, your entrance could've certainly been faked, but I ascribe an amount of credit to the mindset in itself not being something I'd expect mafia to have. You seem focused on playing in a certain way, and I don't believe that playstyle is at the forefront of mafia's mind in an opening.

You talk about what you assume mafia would play like, can you expand on that. I am not familiar with you and want to see how you view a mafia player would play.

Also what sites have you played on?

I'm getting some initial "decent" vibes from a couple people but at the same time it's partially a shot in the dark based on my experience and voicing them too heavily will just give mafia a free night kill

I can't tell if you did this as a bit or if you generally believe this because didn't you criticize obscurity over this?

I'm going to play this game differently and try a new playstyle and also readjust to havin a very small post cap (rip 500 posts D1 days).

Predicting everyone keeps me in their poe and never tr me and i will get d1ed because yall don't trust me anymore.

Anyway let's have fun

hi

How do you plan to play differently?

@Sabiplz that you ignored this post and instead chose to appear helpful explaining a closed setup in a game that has about 50 posts, I’m growing more suspicious of you.

I apologize for missing it.

I am not sure how I can explain this new play style that I haven't done before.

I just want to stop tunneling and conf biasing myself. That's the point of this shift for me.

Never played a closed setup before. Anything I should know?

Hiii pyxxy.

It's semi closed since we only know two mechs. We can assume it's not bastard and there's no cult element (meaning no conversion).

Just have to figure out mechs as we go along.

I'm so happy you're here
