The Syndicate

I'm a bit late but thanks everyone for being a part of my first game on this site <3
I totally didn't expect to have decent reads this time and it might inflate my head for a while haha

gg everyone

that took longer than expected but I can just real time now (except I don't think anyone is online)

and feel free to question me and/or just chat
I know I said most are vibereads and I might not have amazing reasons behind them but that's not meant to discourage anyone from engaging with me

so if I order them, I'll get my readlist

town
fingersplints
Marmot
Neon
Roxy

townlean
sig
Rondo
Tony

POE/scum
SVS
Epignosis
Kate
DrWilgy

aaaaaaaa
ok so I'm still alive and I should actually play the game because I have been slanking pretty hard and I don't want to exist in endgame at all
I'm going to just ISO skim and throw a read out instead of backreading the entire thread for the sake of my own sanity

copying over list of alive people:
DrWilgy - This is probably a wolf. Most comments/takes are mild. Initial questions are self-focused. Oh no wait, there's a second page... I like the second page a bit better I think
Epignosis - This can be scum too ig. (Watch me end up scumreading everyone.) Can relate to the trying to speedread and then uhh... not end up processing anything. I thought the calling out sig as "town sig" was towny though so can be higher than DW
fingersplints - Prob town. Feel ok on this.
Kate - Can be wolf. This slot is probably a bit lower than Epignosis despite having more takes - probably because of tone or something... unsure.
Marmot - Prob town. Passes vibe check.
Neon - Neon is too happy this game to be scum. This is a serious read.
RondoDimBuckle - This slot is probably fine. Like a low town.
Roxy - Oh no I think Roxy's posts are the type that I am most easily pocketed by. I'm still going to put a town sticker here though.
sig (sub for sabie12) - Sabie is overall fine I think. I lost myself trying to digest one of their paragraphs though. One of sig's posts is vibing a lot with what my reads are starting to look like too and I think that's a good sign. Prob town.
S~V~S - I voted SVS on D2 and I have a vague memory of why (probably something tonal) but I'm going to look again b/c I don't really trust the judgement of my past self. Uhhh might put SVS as could be scum. Maybe around the same level as Epignosis. Actually no, maybe higher idk.
TonyStarkPrime - Low town ig.

NB: The above reads are primarily vibereads. They are more there to give me a better feel of the game as a whole so if you ask me for more in depth reasoning, I probably wouldn't be able to give you any. That being said, I still stand behind them as actual and serious reads and do not think vibereads are any less significant than non-vibereads.

oh
looks like Rondo just switched from Kate to SVS
(how do you keep track of vote changes here? do y'all just use amazing memory or something?)

oh lol the aubergine

hmmm
[VOTE: SVS] aubergine aubergine

On page one, near the introduction, there is a list of players linked to their ISO.

Also outside the thread if you select the replies button, then select the number of replies next to the players name you wish to ISO, that should take you there.

ohh I got it
thank you

how do I ISO on here?

I think I also accidentally deleted the 2nd post I was typing up

am back
sorry for inactivity

???! I thought EOD was at 9pm ET?

am back

I feel too lazy to do anything (this is why I shouldn't get free passes)

The aubergine makes it easier to search for vote posts, you can't search "vote" as it's too common.

And re Neon vs everyone, last game she was town and aggressively defended Lucy, who was bad, and was pretty much the only person who felt that way.

oh ok thanks

oh no, I wasn't asking about that
I was asking why she townread lucy

tbh I don't really care about previous games unless they have a direct impact on how someone is reading someone else and/or has meta that would make reading someone easier

Neon wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 10:40 am The answer to all your questions about me is

"Because"

that doesn't help

oh wow
that is so ugly hahaha

Neon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 3:15 am Welcome to my scum pile

[VOTE: Lemon] aubergine

why aubergine?

lucy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 4:07 am i am back and i am town this time

*squints*
idk, not feeling this

Neon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 4:18 am Is it bad if that makes me want to vote you lol

the lol and the fact that it's a question makes this feel more friendly than it needs to be
probably not super AI though

lucy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 4:22 am you should vote mafia not town

this post actually makes me feel a bit better about the previous one but still easily made as either alignment tbh

lucy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 4:28 am so now i pose the question, even if i was a wolf, do you think you could have successfully caught me based off my current actions

ok, it feels like they're treating each other as town now
not w/w

What current actions in the thread are most likely to catch a wolf?

I don’t really like the dismissive “you were just wrong so have to be here” to a small day 1 suspicion comment. The thread has been mostly OT, someone has to get things rolling.

kinda like this
viberead town

I've caught others by doing this.

you're bad

probably also >rand town

Neon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 6:45 am Thanks. That's the fastest anyone has told me I'm bad before.

But am I bad as in a shit player. Or bad as in mafia?

One of these is true.

Neon interpreting bad as skill-related rather than alignment is towny imo

S~V~S wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 7:50 am Ha ha I win, Rondo said I was bad on page one, and I’m pretty sure it was page one in LGM when Sean did, too.

I’m home pretty much all weekend, so I’ll have plenty of time to stay caught up.

On this list, Lemonfairy is new to me, I played with TSP a few time, but I don’t recall his game well, so he might as well be.

very neutral post, doesn't swing me either way

lucy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 7:58 am do you think using tactics and strategy is ai for me?

lucy feels very self-focused this game
idk what to make of it yet

S~V~S wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 8:05 am I’ve played games with40 and 50 people, and never kept a spreadsheet

omg imagine making a spreadsheet for 40/50 people
I can barely bother to make those with 7 people

lucy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 8:10 am i also wasn't lying about my memory, i've never taken notes in a single class, nor do i need spreadsheets to track reads, it's all easily retained.

-_- opposite of me
everything gets deleted after a while

falcon45ca wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 9:57 am Alright, who's Maf? Still Marmot?
[VOTE: marmot] aubergine

I'm reading these as though they're entrance posts but this just reminded me that there was a N0 that I didn't bother to read
uhhh whatever ig, I'll just make do

also, is aubergine an inside joke or a reference to something?

falcon45ca wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 11:03 amMarmot

why though
but post is fine ig

Roxy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 11:07 am @Neon Not sure yet but eye was drawn somewhere D 0 but I'm giving it a chance since it was only D 0. So no name mentioning for yet. How about you?

ehhh ok this can be vibe town too

I've already forgotten the other people I gave vibe townreads to

Neon wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 11:11 am I don't have many thoughts. I think Lucy is town... so like can't wait for round 2 of Neon vs everyone lol

why

ok, I'm going to end this one here b/c it's getting long

I should probably go back and read, unless someone wants to talk with me rn? (invitation to provide me with an excuse to not backread)

hi

checking in before I go sleep


what is this fish thing

S~V~S wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 2:59 pm Well Welcome, then. It's my second (and a half) game back after a long break. Where do you usually play?

It is my preference to not vote to eliminate people on Day One of their first game, although I get the impression that that is old fashioned of me. So you're safe from my vote for today.

It's always interesting to hear the insights of people new to us. Also cookies = awesome But cheesecake is pretty awesome as well.

thanks for the welcome
my homesite is NUF (Novel Updates) but I'm playing on FOL and MU recently, more on FOL ig

you can vote me if you think I'm scum, it's fine and part of the game - ik it's more your preference but idk, I definitely would have no qualms voting someone new just because they're new
I also love being NK'd regardless of my role but I feel like I'll live for a long time this game, if just because I'm new to the site

I love cheesecake, it's 100x better than cookies
can't have too much of it though - everything is better in moderation

also, this is the first time I joined a game somewhere new/a new type of game and didn't rand scum
which ig is good but it broke my streak

idk, having off-topic discussion in a different color and being able to talk at night might be a bit of an adjustment for me
didn't really expect those when signing up but I'll manage

what else
idk, everyone's posts have been fine probably
unsure how different this site's playstyle is and if that will make me more lost but it's ok if I am - I'll try to take it easier this game
it's whimsical, after all

oh yeah, it's my first game on this site
fun

I signed up to play mountainous but the game got canned (sad)
so I thought I might as well play another one since I already have an account

hi lemon, why are you on the syndicate

to play mountainous games
I kind of just answered that but it's ok

I stand by my statement of not liking cookies
cookies are overrated and other baked goods are better
