The Syndicate

Were there banners for the Avatar game? I don’t remember seeing one.

That’s a funny idea to have banners for winning games.

What are these banners? You get one for winning a game?

GG Char! I’ll catch you in some other game. We won as a team this time even though I missed you haha.

you did great. like i thought your slot was scum before you subbed in but you showed your towniness well. wp!

tyty.

You too!

[mention]tutuu[/mention] Just remember that when you want to hard scumread me that means I'm town

I'm happy with my reads this game considering I didn't start at the same time everyone else did and had to develop them in basically one day.

Yea Mac we got started bad but I think we both pretty much figured out by last night the other was just town. Was great to finally play you in a forum game other than that crazy cult thing lol.

Oh, which of LC and Ted tried to kill me that night?

Hally I felt like you were seeing the game the most similarly to me on D2. It was fun having someone like that in the only complete day I played.

Thanks for hosting JJJ!

DW mistakes happen.

I think town probably was going to win this. This is the team we all kind of assumed it was.

Ted your posting overnight was pretty good lol.

GG everyone.

This sounds bad lol

Or maybe there was some kind of time delayed power stealing role that ordered on me N1 when I spewed I was a PR?

Even if my power got stolen, how many town PRs are we even likely to have left to block? I guess I'm just assuming scum stole it, because all the other PRs we know about have been town. I'm still assuming Mac is legit here. And Hally had one.

Maybe this isn't really that bad?

I probably was dumb using the power today though. Should have holstered.

I'll feel better later if I find out that somehow someone actively stole my power and that I was always going to loose my power no matter what I did lol.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 6:24 pm Fatmo how do you purport that you were hit with a role when my role stops ANY targets from landing?

I have no idea.

Maybe someone had that power during the day yesterday?

No

Hmm, well then one of you and LC is lying, and since LC seemed to by lying about pretty much everything near EOD yesterday, I'd wager it's him lying over you lol.

Investigates get made aware they are roleblocked by virtue of no getting a check.

Doctors don't get that luxury.

Ahh ok.

It's tinfoil. I don't believe it in my gut.

I'm just trying to process this.

Err, now I'm all of a sudden kind of paranoid that the reason Mac was fishing for PRs so hard was that he possibly had the power to steal them?

I'm so confused lol.

Also Mac, you were also explicitly informed by the GM that you'd been roleblocked yesterday?

Anyway,

[VOTE: Long Con] aubergine

[mention]NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME[/mention] and [mention]tedxtr[/mention] , were you informed that you were roleblocked like LC claimed he was yesterday?

Ok something really weird happened.

No death, but I got a weird message from the GM just now. I'm told I can say it in my own words.

Prior to adjudicating my action, my power was snatched from me. I have no more powers.

And yea Mac, I used it. Looks like it was going to be stolen from me regardless.

So like, I think someone else now has my power. I'm assuming that is scum.

But I have no idea how there was no death.

I'm blocking Ted and Nook.

I'd be willing to be the game on LC being scum and one of Ted/Nook being the partner. Mac seems less likely now.

If I'm killed now, good luck.

And people who have played Ted before. Thoughts on all this?

I can’t stick around right now but I’ll try to be here later if I can.

Who is going to be around at all for the two or three hours before EON?

I haven’t been paying THAT little of attention lol.

I did see him say he was one shot lol.

But people have made lots of claims and take them back.

[mention]MacDougall[/mention], you have no powers left, right? You were a one shot?

I will say definitively at some point before the night ends what I'll do.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 1:11 am Your horse is so high snoop dogg wants its dealer’s number

[mention]MacDougall[/mention] Is there any possibility that it's Nook/LC here? And that they came up with that cop claim around EOD and that's why LC came back? Nook was around at the time too.

This is probably very much tinfoil but wanted to at least get that thought out there, because it did cross my mind.

I'm basically where Hally seemed to be at. 1612 is my highest TR. Then Mac and Nook are in the middle. Mac has more mech reasons FMPOV with my block to be town but I also lean town on Nook overall. And LC and Ted are at the bottom of my POE.

I still think 1612 is my highest townread on tone/gut and stuff btw. Like other than possible partial mech clears. Defending Hally super hard all day against the suspicion on her in a very genuine way is the icing on the cake.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 12:29 am Blocking ted/1612 is an interesting thought. Up to you Fatmo.

And I'd like a GTH from you about this FYPOV.

Nook has given one.

I know it's up to me in the end.

Ehh lol I know you pretty well and how snappy/sassy you can just get when you feel like people aren't listening to the very few specific things you say at a time, or when you feel like people aren't playing optimally. I ain't offended or anything haha.

We all cool.

I see you guys saying things have seemed a bit hostile or whatever today. I don't really think it's seemed particularly bad, but then again I'm not really used to the overall vibe on Syndicate. Sorry for any part I may have had in anything like that. We're all just trying to solve and stuff, and in these small games, things can get real real quick.

lol sorry

Nook, what do you think of blocking specifically 1612 and Ted?

1612, what do you think of that? I know you are really into the idea of holstering, but I'm trying to talk and reason these things out with all of you guys because this is pretty helpful.

Also LC and Ted. Opinions from both of you.

I feel like there's a decent chance this is true.

It's also what Hally thought fwiw.

She thought Nook was mafia not Ted? I wanted to yeet Ted and she defended him.

Err there were definitely some points where she thought it was LC and Ted. But you're right that her read on Nook seemed to fluctuate. I forget where she was at when the day was done.

I butchered that sentence but yea Nook is right

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 12:23 am This is why I low key want to rule out a 1612/LC or a 1612/ted team btw. It makes the game so much easier for me at f3, assuming we get there.

1612/Ted is a potential issue but 1612 is never with LC. And how is Fatmo meant to block 1612/Ted anyway? Aces both ways?

Are you asking if I mechanically can block Ted/1612?

I asked JJJ and I could do that if I want a few hours ago. Because Ted is last and 1612 is first alphabetically.

Gah this is hard lol.

So obviously if I RB, I've gotta say who I'm doing it to. And mac is probably right that there aren't two scum next to each other. If the team is LC and Ted.

I honestly don’t know which is better or if it’s better to holster, although my gut says it’s not better to holster if we assume Fatmo town

Did you look at 1612's math/mech post arguing that I should holster? You still think overall it's better if I try to RB?

If you holster you die

You probably die anyways tbh

I'm OK dying if overall it gives the highest chance to help solve. I'm just wondering your gut opinions here either way because I know you have a good feel for this kind of stuff.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 10:25 pm @Fatmo I've come to think that perhaps you should holster.

Good to know. I was beginning to lean that way after looking at 1612's reasoning.

I'll still be thinking about it but good to have both of your opinions.

LC and Ted, you might as well chime in with your opinions as well.

I already said I'm just losing to him if he's mafia.

I specifically mean me not using my action tonight to save it for tomorrow if I don't get killed tonight.

I'm looking for thoughts from people who are good at mech. Nook isn't contributing but I still want yours.

Do you still feel like me blocking tonight is better than waiting to possibly block tomorrow?

Not entirely sure tbh.

Please think it over for a bit. I want opinions from as many people I kind of trust with mechanics stuff and who I feel are more likely town as I can. That helps me think things like this through and come to decisions.

I don't like wine lol.

If I'm going to drink wine though, I'd choose red.
