The Syndicate

Link to spec chat when

Also since you guys spent the whole game puzzled, heres the logic for my kills.

I shot Seanzie cuz the falcon yeet made him look great. Standard stuff.

Then I realized I had formed a duo with Mac of almost cleared townies. Literally nobody wanted me dead. So if I just went and killed Mac, there was a whole game of "why is DDL still alive" I'd have to deal with. Not desirable.

So I shot LC and NAA, and planned to only go after the super townies (Mac, Lag, Dizzy) in the later phases, because at least it would divert the attention away from me. This wolf is crazy so no point in trying to NKA them, right?

Now why NAA of all people? Here's the thing: I've played/hosted some games with NAA recently and I don't think he's that easy to yeet. People seem to have a good grasp of his meta. He can do his apparently scummy routine and people will still go "that's the NAA we all know".

Well, I tried to push a wagon on NAA and it just fizzled out. I may be remembering wrong but I felt the same kind of "yep, this is just normal NAA" aura in that wagon. People just didn't feel it. Also NAA was starting to show up more, and then he started pointing out how that's the first time in his life he parked a vote at a wolf day 1. Nobody paid attention to that, but I did, and it made me afraid of letting him live. Plus he is an unpredictable player that I feel could start going after me at any moment. He is smart, his problem is that he isn't good of getting his points across (he tends to think people are supposed to agree with his takes just because they are right, even if he barely explains it or doesn't say anything). But he was starting to talk more so I thought he would at least become a mid range player in terms of towncred. And that's the mid range I wanted to shoot at, because the more townie I needed to kill later and the more scummy I needed to keep alive for misyeets.

I didn't enjoy all the people lining up to say they never shoot NAA, though. But in the end it doesn't seem anyone cared about all those self meta reads.

Also I gotta give it to Lag for basically reading my mind all the time they were alive.

I would make a kill and then the day would start and Lag would go and describe why I made the kill.

Spent the whole game scaring the shit out of me. You are really damn good at scumhunting, my friend. If town had won you'd be the MVP imo.

Thanks for the game nook!

Was totally regretting playing this at the start but then it turned out to be super fun.

First scum win of my career where I had to be alone for most of the game.

With that said, @falcon45ca still gets A LOT of the credit. I never pull this off if he doesn't start attacking me near the end of the day, even I was surprised by how hard he came at me! Good show.

Also I have said it before but now you guys can know it wasn't fake: I'm only playing rackets from now on. Can't handle this amount of post volume, seriously.

You should just listen to the things I say tbh

Yeah but Falcon said he was town.

Well played. You fooled both me and Max badly.

Thanks.

Tbh my biggest worry of the two was Mac, I was expecting him to start comparing me to me Assassination Class meta at any minute.

I want to thank my family, my friends, and my boss who works from home on mondays so he can't see me grabbing the phone every two minutes.

[VOTE: Porscha] aubergine

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME

Thing is I know you could totally follow me like this.

I don't know about Porscha. She seems to be a newbie alright. But wouldn't be the first time I was tricked by an experienced player pretending to be a newbie. It felt bad and I wouldn't want to repeat it. And didn't someone say Porscha has player games in Lag's site ages ago?

But there is occam's razor too, it it easy to keep a facade of newbie for an entire game? Fake a billion dumb tells? I don't think so. Granted some of those dumb tells are stuff I coupd see mafia commiting, but still.

But I don't wanna vote for you just because you are more likely to be fooling me than her. That's kind of overly meta. I wanna judge people for the things they posted tbh.

I got it that she is accusing me of TMI since I apparently know she is town.

To which I replied that the first thing I did this day was say I wanna vote her more than I wanna vote you so that doesn't make sense.

If this isn't hammer lylo I'm so voting rn

But... ugh

And then she doesn't vote.

But would she vote if one of us voted first.

wydm? hk being a "crazy busser" has anything to do with jack? literally the only thing hk could have done for bussing was going on falcon so what's the relation to jack

So...yeah, Porscha does immediately shoot down the idea of it being her. But she asks DDL for clarification what he's talking about. He responds immediately and then she....ignores it.

Idk. That's not any better but idk if it fits the narrative, really.

Just felt to me like the intial focus was on protecting herself rather than figuring how the scum. Her other post saying she was town because Lag is still alive (lol) followed that pattern too.

Like she saw my post, immediately assumed I ak town and worked to make me vote you over her. Didn't feel like a townie mentality to me.

(The townie mentality rn is to be completely lost )

Yeah that's what happened.

Holy shit I played a game with 7k posts?

I miss being unemployed.

(Actually I don't)

I think I was yeeted in World Asunder? Like I spent all of that game negotiating with DH to make him win with us but eventually the gig went up and I took the bullet for the team, though we did win in the end. But maybe I'm mistaken here.

Have you ever fooled me bad? I don't remember anymore. Like there were games you played with me as scum but I don't remember specifically being fooled bad in them.

I was a wolf in Assassination Classroom with Mac, we fooled a lot of people and made it until the end but I don't know if you played that game.

I think I saw a game once where a player could manually lock their vote if they wanted. As in, they can change, but once they say "locked", they can no longer change.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:49 am Pretend I voted Porscha here, then unvoted in a new post, then did the same for DDL.

“Wolves could have won if they were online. Sucks to be a wolf.”

But I’m too scared of the 1% chance that throws the game so I didn’t actually do it.

Imo only vote if you don't think you'll change. Because like you said, wolves can screw us while we are posting and it could create tricky situations where you think someone was online but they weren't so now you don't know if they were cleared or not.

Honestly locked voted would be better for gameplay here.

Actually one thing that worries me.

The first thing you did today was argue why you couldn't be wolf (the Lag thing) then try to shoot down my point on why Jack was more likely town. It felt to me like you were approaching the game from a point of view of knowing I was town so you has to protect your ass from a possible vote from me into you. Only after I prompted you to say why you suspected Jack that you started acting like a real townie again.

And now you accuse me of not suspecting you, when the first thing you did today was try to shield yourself from my suspicion.

I'm not sure if I believe you believe this.

You are the poe chop, jack is the tinfoil one.

Porscha wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 4:24 am dragon a concern I have is that only jack is worried about whether I am still wolf or not. obv maf has tmi and knows whether I am or not so they wouldn't question it. but if you were other town and are not questioning whether I am town, then we would have already hammered jack (jack hammered?)

explain this

Who says I'm not questioning.

First thing I said today is that I'd kill you over Jack.

Well I'm off to bed.

Plz don't kill me kthxbye

Yeah the game becomes dependant on whether the wolf is online or not

Are you just gonna hammer whoever is voted first

I just want to win.

Or at least if possible not get yeeted at lylo cuz I hate that dumb curse

well if you get lynched and are town then the curse continues or you get lynched and lose, so good luck with that

The curse is that I always get misyeeted in lylo in this site.

If I vote wrong and yeet the other townir the curse sorta breaks though not the way I like the most ofc.

F*ck is a strong word. Its just that its a weird way to argue.

Like ok I was in falcon's kill and helped bury him. I have been putting all the effort I can muster. I have made a point to be as empathetic as possible and see both sides of everything. I'm also not sure if I ever kill NAA in the same day I vote for him, but I think we've already estabilished that nobody kills NAA so that's probably a nothingburger.

Uh... I don't have much more.

I would hope you'd feel less dumb losing to DDL since you town locked him day 1 and didnt look back and I've shown my ass on repeat, day after day

I'd feel pretty stupid for believing a pile of fake derptells and I'd feel pretty stupid for letting a D1 wolf busser who makes it to lylo win. That's part of the problem.

To be fair

Do you think they ever let Dizzy make it instead

Or Lag

Or Mac

I can't explain NAA tho. Not even gonna try.

Porscha wrote: ↑Sun Apr 24, 2022 9:22 pm pretty sure I know who the wolf is btw so i'll let you 2 try to convince me it isn't yourselves

How am I supposed to convince someone I'm town by myself

I mean I have motivation but 600 posts fml

I don't have the time nor motivation to ISO now.

I ISO'd Porscha like half a game ago and liked it. No idea how I'd feel if I isod again tho.

Oh yeah ngl I also love this. In the last week I left 5 people waiting me to play a turn in BGA abd I sudde ly stopped playing Wordle, because I forgot games other than this one existed.

I love mafia but it's so hard these days [cries]

Ikr

I don't think Jack is coming today, but we should probably wait for him before we vote.

That said tomorrow is monday so there's work again. Will try to check the phone from time to time but I can't promise anything. Good news is, unless there's a natural disaster or something I should be here the final one and half hour before the poll closes.

Porscha wrote: ↑Sun Apr 24, 2022 9:08 pm was curious to know if it was anyone relevant but seems it was not

Yeah that was one of the boring days.

Iirc you were being cited near the top of most people's suspect lists but that post turned it around.

Hmm

Jack read me town all game. Would be weird to change now. And he read Porscha neutral-ish yesterday. I'd say he might attempt a wagon on Porscha. Dizzy was suspecting Jack so this is a decent self defense but would a scum Jack just straight up kill whoever was suspecting him? Wifom etc.

Porscha was mildly town read by everyone and their dog, depending on how much they believed her dumb tell. I have no idea who a wolf Porscha would rather kill here. Dizzy and Lag are feasible I guess, since no one seemed to want them dead.

Porscha wrote: ↑Sun Apr 24, 2022 8:38 pm hey when I made that dumb ass post about how I wasn't wolf and shouldn't have been a tie wagon with someone else cuz I voted HK, who was counter wagon with me

Just checked and its the day we killed srceenplay. He got 5 votes and you got 1, and nobody else voted. There wasn't much if a counterwagon tbh.

Why?

Sorry I hate being the lowest poster. When I first started playing mafia I used to be a top 5 every game, but now I'm having to use all of my free time to post as much as I can without getting to a point where I cause real life consequences. I'm trying as much as I can though.

As for Lag I think they were townread by everyone except Mizery. Was halfway expecting wolves to leave Lag alive to use Mizery's read against them, but I guess they had something else in mind.

Porscha why do you think it is Jack

Why didn't mafia just kill me. Spec chat must be having a blast.

I wanna be careful here though. We can't get this wrong.

I don't know that's what everybody has been thinking

Should I just listen to them

It's that wifom

Is this real life

Lag*

Porscha wrote: ↑Sun Apr 24, 2022 7:55 pm if i'm wolf here I off lag so i'm asking myself why lag is still here

They... aren't?

Lad is dead.

And iirc there were other people voting Jack that day. He was in real danger even if he wasn't the lead wagon.

Cuz HK just went and parked his voted on Jack right after falcon died.

So I have to believe he was fine with losing all his team by day 2.

Honestly I've seen crazier. But I haven't wanted to vote Javk all game because if that.
