Let’s stabilize those vitals by talking about anti-town reads, falcon. What have you got?
Right off the bat Ilario is pinging me. Several of their posts seem cute, cuddly and fuzzy. It might be just their pic, but me no wrikey.

If I advance this theory even further, then Marmot is scum too.

This is the direct opposite of every other ilario read I have seen expressed in the game. Can you point to specific posts?

This is nothing. Welcome to the game. What are your thoughts?
I am nothing. I feel welcomed. "" ""

You are a player in this game with a voice that I will listen to as much as all the others.
Your opening pair of posts amounted to nothing for me in terms of determining anything about your alignment.

Why should TSP die?

It is jarring to see "LC" used for anyone other than, well, LC.

It seems like the convenient thing to do.

Do you prefer another abbreviation Lime Coke?

How about we just call him Epi?

Why do you wonder if it's my instinct?

I've not read a post in the game before my first one.

Because you entered the game expressing an intent or a willingness to contest "any strong scumreads."

What are we seeing in ilario that makes them a town read?

Our ratio in this game is 11 town to 4 mafia. Nanook has introduced hard mode, and that’s okay. We’ve earned it lately on The Syndicate. But those splits are things we should be mindful of as we consider all game matters.

We’re looking at 3 mischops available before a hypothetical 5 vs. 4 Limlo. That means we need a POE pool of 7 (or equivalently 7 correct town reads other than the self).
o shit lmaoo

maybe i should read the roles, is thhis a setup thats moreso mech based?

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 6:57 pm The setup is:
1 town delayed watcher
1 town compulsory fruit vendor
1 town unaware sleepwalker
8 VT
4 Mafia goons

I like what I have seen from SPF so far.

No one else understands how hilarious/distressing this page has been.

I don't think this is necessarily true. I will say that TSP is one of the more enigmatic folks I have played with in recent memory. To say I have a handle on any tangible differences between his general style as one alignment or the other would be false. He is a player to be read in progression, not by tells.
can you go into what you mean by the lasst sentence? is his progression more static when hes mafia?

No, I mean I don't have an answer to things that Tony does or does not do "when he's mafia." If the game goes along and you, as town, feel that he is not working toward the same win condition as you, it means he is mafia.

I await your reception of my latest post before this.

Ah that’s a shame, well I tr you for other reasons now such as threadspew and you admitting it was made up.
Okay but what about TSP?
still think hes >rand scum

but you lost your bragging rights for admitting the read was made up once he flips

No I didn't.

Why do you think he's above randy scum?

Son of Anarch wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:41 am How do I vote here?

The poll at the top of the page is the official tally. It's also strongly, if not explicitly, encouraged that you call your votes in the thread via [VOTE: vote tags] aubergine.

I hereby ban the earnest use of the words "villagery" and "wolfy" as adjectives to describe the actions of players in mafia games on the Syndicate.

i was gonna do a lazy ms paint of paprika with a cowboy hat on but that's too much work for a throwaway joke on day 1. maybe if it was day 3.

just some wayfarin' cowfolk tryna lasso a few evildoers.

I find it interesting that Tony’s initial posture toward my suggestion that he is mafia was agreement, because I totally made it up. I have no particular impression of how TonyStarkPrime enters into games as one faction versus the other.

While I don’t think I should ever be read as obvious anything on page 1 of a game, I appreciate the vote of confidence.

What’s Pranay Rule?
Sir, I approach this game with a murderer's mindset. You say I shouldn't be doing something, I will do it to spite you. If I have to make you believe that you're town, I'll do it in a way that it's lodged so far into your head that actual thought bubbles will appear from your head.

Pranay Rule - Only mafia start games out with a quote.

I am absolutely town, but this ain’t exactly my first rodeo either, is all I’m saying. I’m capable of faking things.

Pranay’s Rule is false.

Have you played with anyone in this game before?
To be honest with ya, no. I'm a mafiascum player that thought I'd give this site a whirl. 'Course, I forgot about it as soon as I signed up until recently. I have quite a bit of experience though, so don't treat me as a noobie or give me a pass or anything.
Noted. Welcome, happy to have you aboard. What has your experience taught you and how would you describe your playstyle? What do you like to do on Day 1 of games?
Asking me to describe my own playstyle is like askin' a pageant queen to describe her own beauty, sir. That is to say, I don't think I could do myself justice. I'll quote an ol' friend though that I think knows me pretty well:

"SoA is best known for his eccentric style of scumhunting and his over-reliance on gut/instinct reads. If the man could actually describe why the hell he actually has the reads he has, I'd feel less guilty about punting his ass out the door. But since his pea-sized brain is too small to even come up with a reason other than "idk" I take a sick pleasure in voting him over and over again until he learns. Just like training a dog. Love ya man <3"

Good boy.

Isn't it better for the fruit vendor to claim right away? Basically an IC, yeah? Could have me (the watcher) go on 'em too. I know it's delayed mechanics and all, but still useful as long as I'm not killed.

And for everyone's efforts on this page, I'm gonna slap a small townread on all of you good folk right away. I'm warning ya though, my mind changes easily, but gettin' good vibes from this crowd. I like Jimmy's idea too, about Stayposi being naturally on guard about his early buddy-buddy with her. He seems like a good player, so I think her being naturally curious about all of that is pretty nice as far as ground zero reads go.
You say that you like “everyone” on this page, but only comment on 2 of the 4. Do tony and I have good traits?
Yep. Good vibes man, good vibes.

Can you articulate said vibes in a manner similar to what you did for Jay and spf?
