The Syndicate

I was wondering what the reaction would be if I was lynched for DDL's theory that I was the SK and flipped mafia. It was really exciting.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:19 pm Hey mine was working pretty well so far.

I played GoC17 and Fire Emblem at once, noticed the difference in Quins and called both right. Then I called you bad when you were the cat in World Asunder. So I had reason to be confident.

I guess the error is that I stopped paying attention to you after day 1, when you joined that damn PoE. Shouldn't have.

Colin was right on something: the PoE wasn't universal. Though making a kill was still the better call, imo.

True. But in the case of FE, I remember the biggest thing you had against me is that you thought I was lying about not targetting or something - which wasn't a lie at all.

ima be completely honest and say that i was secretly hoping nobody made a btsc chat so i could just fly solo the whole time

70 percent of the mafia win in this game was because we were collectively a successful mafia team.
30 percent was because of civilian inactivity at EoD.

We've all seen the benefits of an active EoD first hand. Don't neglect it.

at the very least, when I saw it, the first thing I thought was "Sloonei's taking the civilian's side". That probably wasn't true, but it was definitely a blow.

It felt unfair not to give the option of a No Lynch at MYLO.

no one seemed to acknowledge it though. there was no reason to, really, but I wanted to provide the option anyway.
I think if a host is going to add a no lynch option to a poll, it needs to be consistent throughout the whole game. Even if it never gets used.
It really only needs to be added in a certain scenario: If there are three civilians and one mafia member. The purpose of a no lynch option is to force the mafia to narrow it down, and then make it two civilians to one mafia member.

There may be other nuanced reasons for its existence that I'm overlooking, but that's the main reason.

I see no reason for a no lynch option on Day 1 or 2 or 3.

There's an inherent pro-civilian bias by including a no lynch option specifically when it hurts mafia the most.

I started watching Community this week, fyi.

One of the biggest derp moments was when I didn't roleblock Colin the night he killed nova. That was staring me in the face and I completely blanked on it.

i know this isn't really the best time for me to say it but i really don't like bussing guys

I don't know, but I know one person who might (for now, I will leave them to handle that as they please; there are multiple possible explanations).

This was the most panic inducing post of the whole game for me.

Oh yeah, the vest claim happened because I suspected [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] roleblocked me the night nobody died. He made that one cryptic post and I thought if I didn't do something quick he'd ruin me.

I almost went the whole game without using my role at all. I RB'd DF last night to guarantee the doctor's death and would've used it on Colin tonight, but I never used my role check.

It was a good game all around, it got tight at the end with basically everyone having some sort of soft-clear I had to fight but it worked out in the end. If people were around at this EoD it may not have gone the same way.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:37 pm I better never hear about Quin's butthole again.

Good game, gang.

I contemplated killing him early so I would never have to hear those words again.

I brought back Mad Max Quin. For one game only.

I'll put it bluntly. I've done the work, I know what Mac has in his favour and what DDL doesn't. Unless something happens in the next two hours then I'm set on this DDL lynch.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 8:37 pm Colin and Quin are both fairly quiet. That makes me think they are civilians. If they were indie or Mafia they'd be trying to control the game outcome more, like DDL is.

Considering barely anyone is ever even awake at the time I started doing it I didn't see a problem doing it alphabetically. Also that there was 12 hours left in EoD and plenty of time to complete it before crunch time. Also that I needed to do Colin to complete the process anyway. Also that I don't give a damn who's cleared or not when I'm trying to find mafia.

Going off of those ISO's alone, my order of preference to lynch is Epi > Mac > DDL. If I take into account Day 1, which Mac came out of looking extremely good, he's after DDL.

So for now, voting Epi and I'll see what everyone else has to say when I get up tomorrow.

This is a long back and forth with Jay over the mechanical breakdown post. 3J does this practically every game. The fact that has a full on back and forth over it reads like he's intentionally flooding the thread despite talking about how he doesn't want that to happen.

This is all very basic analysis from someone with an intuition based game. You're bad because you picked the most logical case to put together that you could see, when ordinarily you are capable of deeper analysis than this.

I agree with his general sentiment that an isolated "call out" of my mechanics post is a suspicious thing. I direct that at DDL primarily.

DF directed it at nobody and didn't answer me when I asked him to gimme names, so that's bad. I feel no compulsion to call him a civilian.
Sorry for being at work?

I was referring to Epi and Mac, but more so Epi since Mac didn't actually imply that the charting meant that JJJ was bad. These posts from Epi show him suggesting that JJJ's efforts were a Mafia smokescreen:

Epignosis wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 12:30 am

Civilians don't lose because nobody paid attention to chart. You are doing work to do work.

You know what I do when I'm bad? I count on my fingers how many civilians I need to knock off to win. That's a mafia chart.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 12:32 am Jay is more concerned with the setup than with who is bad. I have solved this thing for you.
If Epi can offer evidence that JJJ primarily does this sort of analysis as a baddie but not as a civ I'll reconsider, but as it is I don't buy his reasoning here.
I thought that Epi was doing it as a way to gauge 3J's alignment. No idea about Mac though.
In Mac's case it did come across as trying to discourage JJJ's analysis by making his confusion with JJJ's methods highly visible, but his motive for doing so is harder for me to get a read on than Epi's posts. However I was just going over Mac's posts and this is suspect to me.

He doesn't deny or even defend himself here, and actually says that Dunya has a logical case. But his reason for suspecting her is that she normally would put together a more complex case? To me this comes across as Mac trying to deflect rather than engage with Dunya. I'll likely be voting Mac or Epi today.

So do you have anything to say that actually addresses Dunya's points?

[VOTE: MACDOUGALL] aubergine
You would rather me address Dunya's points, who is currently not scum reading me, as opposed to yours who is voting for me. Why would that be?

Perhaps it is because you would rather incite violence between Dunya and I than get your own hands burned by the bright flame of MacScrewgall? Hmmm?

Pairing me with DDL because we voted together is weaker than weakness's little baby nephew who has a cleft palate, and what's even weaker than that is that you had to pair that notion with the (three-year-old) fact that I don't post as much as I used to, as though it's significant.

If we're talking about what could be a "mild" suspicion, sabie here is it. Not to mention the post itself is not "They voted together so they're bad" but "They're both bad and they're voting together so yeah, they're probably bad".

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Feb 26, 2019 12:24 am Numbers consciousness starting platform:

With 12 players to start and the setup closed, there are numerous potential alignment ratios:

A - 9 vs. 3
B - 9 vs. 2 vs./plus 1
C - 8 vs. 2 vs./plus 1 vs./plus 1
D - 8 vs. 3 vs./plus 1

There are other possibilities, but I think these are the four likely by a wide margin. Based on my own intuitions about balance (some of which I think Sloonei would share given his similar background), I'd rank them as follows by probability: B > A > C > D. This is a theme which lends itself nicely to independents, but that may not matter with the characters and alignments randomized (i.e. Chang isn't automatically a serial killer or something).

Either 9 vs. 3 or 8 vs. 2 allows two mislynches before a MyLo (assuming nightly kills of one civilian and not accounting for unknown indy variables). 9 vs. 2 allows 3 mislynches. For now I recommend a worst-case projection of 2 available mislyches. As such, POE work has to be quite expedient in this game to have a chance of working effectively. A pool of 4 or 5 is already necessary on Day 0, and that means the civilians need to make themselves visible. "Cards close to chest" and "exclusively roleplay in every post without regard for the hunt" are thus strategies which can lose the game on their own if employed irresponsibly -- that'll place people into POE pools by default.

Role abilities will likely matter at some point, but I refuse to wait for that. Everyone is vanilla. Find the bad guys, or find so many good guys that you don't need to.
You know what this reminds me of? That big role list I made in a World Asunder.

I was bad.

Mac and Epi both got crapped out for calling out a 3J mechanical breakdown post. DDL never did. So here, I'm crapping on you, DDL.

It's interesting speculation but the conclusion isn't any different from what we are all supposed to be doing already: lynch mafia and not lynch town.

This post.

This post would be bad in a vaccum but ultimately forgivable. The problem is what happens afterwards.

She wants people to know she is throwing shade at bob.

But this is her last mention of Bob until the last 30 seconds when she finally votes him. Between the two things, she spends the entire EoD trying to get anyone but Bob lynched. Anyone. Whatever it takes. She switches around, listens to other people when they talk about Mac and nova, but refuses to acknowledge bob's existance except for that small time interval where bob decides to antagonize her out of nowhere.

Never mind that mac's point is not an attack against dunya, it's just that dunya is being pocketed by Bob. This means she did not understand Bob's point. The fact she feels the need to defend against a possible w/w accusation that doesn't exist because she did not understand a post could suggest a baddie who is paranoid about not being associated to teammates.

The nerdy girl is up to no good. She appears adorable but I think I saw her cheating at the exam.

I have a whole thing in my ISO where I talk about why I don't like this post.

You are underestimating or intentionally downplaying DDL's skills if you think he isn't capable of that.

DDL defended me all day but when push came to shove he didn't vote with me even though he had his own reservations towards Bob. There's an argument that he is the most suspect player in the game right now for that alone.
I wasn't even here at EoD.

I started chatting with family about politics. Then I remembed I might miss the EoD, but the chat was good and was also about how phones make people dumb (so I wasnt about to grab a phone in the middle of the chat lol).

I decided I was satisfied about my dunya vote. I though Mac's Bob case made sense but wasn't sold enough on it to put my vote. I also thought Mac felt civ but wasn't super confident on it either. So I made a "this mac lynch sux" post to attempt to throw some chaos into that EoD I didn't like, and left.

In which he explains why he never goes anywhere with his Day 1 post. It's underwhelming.

You are not in a position to negotiate. If you refuse to use your role, I'll assume you are lying about it and lynch you.

Forcing the vig to use their shot now because he's bad and probably wouldn't get shot himself if he was leading the charge?

Can you give me an ascending-rank order of suspicions after Mac with at least a few names?
Mac
JJJ
Quin
Colin
DF
Epignosis
DDL
nova

Mac confirmed civilian.

Explain to me why this is a problem.
Two dead Mafia confirmed in a game with 1700 posts and Epignosis managed to avoid putting pressure or accusing either of them. Voted off wagon both times. Cast the vote that put Leetic tied with Nova.

It's just obvious. I am shocked that you asked me that question quite frankly.

Day 1. Of course he doesn't pressure his teammates and doesn't want his Godfather lynched. So he votes off wagon and pushes dialogue elsewhere as best he can. He does this despite having an unflappable civilian read on me. Civ reads me, ignores my case making entirely. Bob flips Mafia.

After he lost one teammate it makes sense that he would avoid placing undue pressure on his only surviving teammate. He contributed nothing to the Nova suspicion.

Now magically he is adamant that I am Mafia and I am his only fucking suspect mind you despite me driving the Bob wagon and hounding Nova for fucking days.

He picked me to target because he's dead to rights and if he pulls off convincing you all I am bad and lynching me it'll make him feel better for decimating his teammates.

Thanks. I'm only asking because I've been at a stage where I'm so confused about things relating to my thesis I'm too drained to put the effort in elsewhere. I just want to catch up so I can make informed decisions for myself.

As for you, my natural thought process was to go read and reywas's posts, because I suspect he cleared you on Night 1. I'm not lynching you at this point.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 6:25 am I am telling you it's very obviously Epi. If you would bother to read my posts you would see that. He literally did not put one iota of pressure or suspicion on either of the dead Mafia. It is near impossible for a civ Epi to do that.

Linki: If you fall asleep before doing everyone then I'm gonna burn your face.

I will read your posts. But I'm not going to take your word for it because you're throwing it in my face. You underestimate how much attention I've actually paid to the thread so far. There's still a whole 12 hours to go. This is how I'm spending it.

If I fall asleep I'd burn my face off too. I want to read some more before bed.

It's the opposite of operation trustfall.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 6:23 am Why would you start with the guy you have the most reason to read civilian. What is the purpose of this shit?

Purely alphabetical. I'll be done before everyone wakes up anyway.

Colin is a big dumdum if he's bad. It's not impossible but highly improbable.
With one scum left, counterclaiming solves the game. Since nobody has claimed doctor, that makes DF alright in my book.

I didn't have any trouble seeing scum Colin in the issues I brought out. I did have trouble seeing scum DF.

Nevertheless, Colin and DF are closest to being confirmed town as you could get right now. I still wanted a form a read besides that, hence including them in the exercise.

I just wanted to point this all out before I start reading the rest.

I have an existing perception of how DF plays mafia. He never gets in the thick of things and plays from the sidelines to make reading him difficult, regardless of his alignment.

Boy, I was struggling to find anything to shit on him with, but I didn't disappoint myself.

Do you mean regarding Sabie's lynch? Because that felt pretty shady to me. I don't see any reason for Sabie to get lynched, especially early in the game with plenty of options on the table.

DF taking advantage of hindsight to call out the sabie wagon with the weakest accusation I've seen yet. "Why would you lynch sabie when you could've not lynched sabie?" If reasons for her to be lynched didn't exist then she wouldn't have had 4 votes.

This seems almost ironic when you consider leetic's cop claim. Going by the timestamp he must've been the one to hit the nail in the coffin with this one, or close enough to it to see the lack of a counterclaim.

The need for a well-paced thread is obvious. So do your best on that front, please. More than that though, let's be aware from the start that urgency is paramount if we are to win this game. There are only 12 players here, and the cycles will be 24/24. This game will be completely over in a blink; we won't have a lot of time to solve it. There is no time to waste.

I know many of y'all are now in two games. Handle that as you see fit (I will not speak of the other active game again). Just please ensure this one gets a fair portion of your attention. Thanks!
calling it day 0, jay is scum. this was his obligatory post calling for a shit ton of activity because this is what civ jay is like, whereas he enjoys to let the game ride by slower when he's scum. his post was what we typically expect of a civ jjj, but it's all a mind game. he's using language that is more courteous and less urgent, which is in conflict with the message he's trying to convey there. fight me on that.
I guess reading it back it could be that thing where you just come in and start shit to start the game, but this felt especially forced to me

He earlier describes this dunya versus 3J thing as "token" or "forced". Wholly unspecific.

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:14 am If I were to change my vote, which is possible, as of now it’d be to Mac.

He later says it's because "his ass is fake". He calls Mac fake even before this. It's another unspecific accusation any scum could throw out there and justify with some soul read garbo if pressed about it. In fact, it's what I planned to do to Mac in whatever game I was last bad in. He votes for Mac a few hours after this. Later on in the read I find he explains this further. He just defines what token means. GARBAGE!

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 3:45 pm Can’t wait for the big dumb meat slab that comes along and gets everyone to vote in a landslide for reywaS or whoever

I don't know why this post exists. Everyone's giving reads on dunya and DDL at the time ITT, both of which he felt good about. I don't know what reywas had to do with anything. He can tell us all about it.

Fence sitting.

This never happened.

This is the first time he has mentioned about half of the people on this list.

Then, this series of posts:

I'm at uni. I'll do stuff when I get home.

As far as I'm concerned the only confirmed civilian here is Colin. You just don't vig your own teammate out of the blue at this stage in the game.

Mac and DF have good reasons to stay out of my PoE. That's it.

I have a bit more time for this now that I'm finished with classes for the week. I'll get some ISO's out sometime today.

Colin has precedence to support him saying he doesn't like vig roles. I don't find it hard to believe that he's an unwilling vig in this case.

nova is the last person in my PoE. Whatever digging I do today will start there.

Leaving for uni in a few minutes, but I should have time to check in again just before EoD between classes. Finished with class for the week after today so I'll have more time for this. Sorry.

Gonna stick with my PoE. [VOTE: leetic] aubergine
