The Syndicate

i'm saying this because I'm seeing a slowly bandwagon forming on me, and if that's true, I might as well try to spot the mafiosos who are likely being part of it. Now, some players, like sanmateo and Epi, have attacked me directly. But other, like you, Sloonei, cross and Elohcin, seem to be content...

also, dunno if this is important to be aware of right now, but what exactly does it mean for a player to be cursed? i assume it's just some sort of post-restriction, but

I tried to elaborate in my first post but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. It just doesn't seem like MP behavior. I've seen his baddie game as a teammate and not as a teammate. I've seen his civ game as well. I am not saying I am even up to 80% sure he is bad, but I do know his behavior se...

sorry jay, we're syndicators now.

Jay, Epi is an English teacher, and the Adverb suspicion is one that he commonly holds throughout many games. I don't think it indicates mafia behavior from him, more of just an opinion. thank you. i'll continue failing to capitalize a single thing too. :feb: Oh, you'll fail to capitalize, all righ...

I see that DDL thinks all those who've been posting tonight look like town. I disagree, but not only that, I highly doubt that none of the mafia are talking. I just can't see that being the case. Honestly, I see MP's over-helpful behavior as suspicious. I know we have a lot of new players and he wa...

I haven't been able to glean whether or not the four of you all come from the same place for sure, but my perception is that you all know each other well. I do feel like this day one is culture shock. sanmateo, jjj, and myself (along with acrosstheaether, who's in a different timezone) all come fro...

i am finding myself liking DDL's defenses, particularly the most recent. he is earnestly trying to describe a Day 1 strategy that is inherently a bit volatile but potentially highly productive for a townie. i am particularly familiar with what he is describing because i employ a similar approach my...

I've been questioning DDL because I've had questions about his posts, nothing more to it yet. It's still too soon for me to decide whether I think he (or anyone else) is scum, but I'm not gonna get anywhere if questions aren't being asked.

I find it notable that you seem to be aggressively questioning DDL for his inability to commit to reads, and thereafter for a comment saying that active posters all "look like town", yet you have not issued an opinion on anyone, including DDL, yourself. Hesitant? Yes, that is one way to d...

truth be told many RYM games don't start this actively either. i think it's that many new players to The Syndicate who are also veterans of the game elsewhere are excited to play in a new place with new people. and it's great! i love a fast moving game thread. this is exactly the case for me. I usu...

I think you all (you, MP, and Jay and some other guy whose name I forgot) look like town. In other words, I also have no scumreads. Thus, if I had to vote now, I'd vote for some of the others, despite the fact I have nearly zero data on any of them. It's a matter of probability, really. Thank god I...

And I like to call people scum. Defenses are a great way to get reactions. you've not called anyone scum. in fact, you've made assertions of scumminess but in each case offered a caveat to relieve the pressure inherent to those assertions. ergo, you're scum. :) Thing is, I don't think any of the ac...

Stop being a coward!

You have cast exactly zero votes in the poll yourself.

I do think it's weird that you tried to start a conversation by saying something you don't actually believe in. What implications does "weird" have for you? Are you reading civilian, mafia, or neutral on Sloonei? Do you believe his explanation? I think it's very likely that it's true, and...

I have not played an open setup game in years and I usually ask The Thread what it thinks the possible setup could be at a certain point early in the game. I can't do that here

This all seems fair so far, no one has tripped any alarms yet. Is anyone else here?

Sloonei , could you describe the strategy you hoped to develop with the approach you just explained to DDLuffy? when you say "get things rolling", what shape did you envision responses to your assertion taking? do you feel you've lost much of the potential in that strategy by immediately ...

Saying this negates the accusation I want to assert that the players expressing the most interest in starting the game are scum, so I'll have to find a new entry point into this thing. I'm curious, why would you think that? From my experience, scum players usually want the game to move nowhere for ...

Just to be clear for myself and fellow noobs: once we submit a vote in the poll, it is final and we cannot change it again that day?

JJJ's behavior does not change with his alignment, he does this whether he is town or scum. Saying this negates the accusation I want to assert that the players expressing the most interest in starting the game are scum, so I'll have to find a new entry point into this thing. I've also been very anx...

jay's poop flings are immaculate, let me tell you

Hello

Sloonei! Welcome!

ahoy! i've done some research around here, but are there any rules or things here that may be different from the RYM norms? i'd hate to make a bunch of noob mistakes right off the bat.

hello friends
