The Syndicate

What's the lie falcon told?

Yeah, the PR stuff.

Rondo, did you or did you not receive a role last Night? I didn't see a firm 'yes' or 'no' unless I'm blind.

Cool stuff. I have little to add. I had done my own glance through Scotty spew and have come to similar conclusions, so I think the collective PoE is a good one.

Scotty wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 9:45 am Want to hear from dyson and lomo.
Dyson, what’s the best vaccuum to buy?
Lomo, are you going to slank til you get vigged or are we going to have to lynch you early?

Does Scotty throw a jokey Q at his partner like he does with Dyson here? Or is a wolf more likely to tag on a 'serious' question to a partner, ala the Q towards Lomo?

It's common for some less confident mafia players to throw out a meaningless comment with several names, probably only one of Dyson or Alison is mafia like I was saying.

I agree. But what I'm getting at is that there are two very different type of questions here. Is the wolf more likely to throw a meaningless jokey one at their partner, or a more serious albeit light-touch question instead?

I'd say I rarely see wolves doing the former (e.g. how Scotty questions Dyson) and more commonly the latter (e.g. how Scotty questions Lomo).

Obviously it's not a guarantee either is scum (and I know Alison will disagree, obviously) but my point is more so that I don't think Scotty and Dyson are likely partners, even if based primarily on this single post.

Scotty also spends the rest of the phase shading Dyson for kind of 'straightforward' reasons. Could be TMI on a partner, but my instinct is to read it as pushing someone he senses is a potential misexe. Could be wrong on that, but that's how I read it atm.

So, question to the crowd:

But I'll get to them later.

I too have thoughts.

Dyson sphere wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 11:42 am Did you guys ever have a SARS-CoV-2 themed mafia game? That would be a fun theme. You should have done that in 2020. But if you didn't, even better: now with variants!

Sure did. Nanook and I were the mafia in that game. I think Nanook won it in the end.

I also have issues with Scotty's vote movement more recently, but I have things to do and don't want to waste five minutes trying to find the right words to explain the niggling feeling I have about it.

Everyone just come back on the Scotty wagon with me.

Scotty feels like he's been posting more to have a presence than because he has a direction to his game. He feels...disconnected, a little bit, from the goings on of the game. I have no qualms about flipping that slot.

In an admittedly small sample size, Dunya has never townread me regardless of my alignment. Even in CoV D1, when everyone else was doing it, Dunya was basically the only person still hesitant (iirc it was because I was *too* clean or something).

So it was really weirding me out to see her give me such an easy TR in this game. This is much better.

I actually feel better now.

Scotty wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 10:01 am Oh, mister radish is a name that keeps floating around my little brain (and apparently is currently voting me)

Just in my reread this morning, I don’t buy the “let’s get down to business on D1 no fucking around” attitude.

Yes that attitude definitely sounds like me.

Give a power to Mizery.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 8:54 am 7 posts left. I think I'm gonna hand out the tracker and cop because they are the roles least likely to backfire on us. I'll probably give the cop to my top town who isn't already a savant (ie. not Jay or Dunya) and the tracker to the threads choice as per TSP plan. Maybe. Other people tell me if this is dumb.

I think you can't give out two roles at once? So like, you'll give out one now and then the scum will kill you.

I think? I'm not a mech god like TSP though.

Dunya hasn't moved anywhere out of my 'eh I dunno' pile at any point so far, positively or negatively, but I'm not sure I'm on board with voting there today.

Well don't give me a role. I'll just waste it on hookers and blow.

On balance, I sort of like the people voting falcon better.

But on balance, I sort of prefer Scotty as an option.

What is a radish to do?

And if you've left the thread then vote falcon.

Tutuu, if you're having a good day today vote Master Radishes, if you're having a bad day vote Nanook.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 3:58 am Radishes said somewhere that he was thinking of trying hard since he's sick of his own meta.

Yeah, then I remembered how I hate giving effort on D1, so I've re-embraced it.

dunya wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 4:12 pm it's true, dyson is a true euro unlike MR who is a north american living in europe...i mean asia. shit. this is getting confusing.

It's tough being a non-American/non-European living in not-America/not-Europe.

Huh.

Lime Coke wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 1:59 pm To add more to this I remember spectating Congress of Vienna, reading your posts didn't feel natural at all. Both you and Apogee were my 2 confident SRs and I was right. Significant difference from that game and this.

Which is amusing because I normally am super stressed when scumming and that (for most of D1, up until EoD) was the most comfortable and natural I felt in any recent (last year or two) scum games I've played.

Why are Dunya/Lime Coke townreading anyone

Hey speaking of hard townreading,

Dunya,

Uh

Considering I don't think you've ever townread me in our few games together...why are you townreading me?

Philosophically, I'm not opposed to town lists and boxing and all that,

but I apparently have higher standards than some of you.

dunya wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 12:08 pm btw now MR has to be town cos he misspelled unnecessarily.

I've also already added an unnnnecessary apostrophe in one of my posts. Each grammatical error I make brings me shame.

RondoDimBuckle wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 11:52 am what is SHROOP?

[VOTE: Master Radishes ] aubergine

Scott Howard's Rule Of Odd Posting.

Basically the idea that mafia are more careful in crafting their posts and may move things about a bit and accidentally leave a jarring sentence in doing so.

So like you said...

Stop if you how dare you agree with me?

...which reads as if typed out a phrase, reconsidered how it came across, and edited it, but accidentally left a bit of it in unnnecessarily.



It's a stupid 'tell' but sometimes it works and if you flip red I'm claiming credit for accurate usage and if you don't I'm going to hope everyone forgets I ever brought it up.

tutuu deliberately overposting knowing we won't chop her if she's unable to defend herself?

Im not under threat of getting chopped this day based off ppls current reads and even if that was my scum plan and i did it, u could then interrogate and chop me the next day

Oh shoot I forgot to put the 'tutuu not allowed to look' disclaimer before my spoilers.

(I am deliberately avoiding comment on Falc.)

Am I allowed to call SHROOP on this?

You don't agree that you are mafia?

I do not, although I don't mind being lynched first night. I just dont take first day seriously like nanook.

Note that if you turn out to be bad, this is your teammate just for this random vote.

it was a random vote and you trying to tie him up as my team mate might just be an excuse for you to sus him later? TMI?


Is there Scotty + MacDougall equity?

Falcon Scotty mac is a reasonable thought.

Pretty sure she explained. Flip back a page. Something about Motel's comment about 'bonk' being a discord thing suggesting he was told in wolf chat or whatever...I didn't really pay attention cuz I kinda missed dunya being here seeing as she's so short and all.

And look, he's getting all sweary and stuff.

Guess this guy must be town.

Lmao

Well yeah it felt a bit theatrical and i was like ??? Is he joking or what but i think its genuine. I personally vibe with his reads and the post where hes like "ya mac is right that i pocket cute girls as maf. But this time im town" iss just a post ive made a lot as town

Yeah, no, I agree with you about that particular thing actually.

But it's also kiiiiinda convenient he's fitting so neatly into his self-described meta.

So like...meh. I don't lean either way very strongly yet.
