The Syndicate

I also find Fingers to be kind of a weird kill tbh. No comment beyond that

I know he probably shoved us into a 4-person POE that Nanook requested (although sig actually gave 5), but I don't get why we ended up in there before hk.

I probably wouldn't shoot someone I listed as town unless I changed my mind about them.

Creature wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 3:22 pm Bit worried now about sig because they seem to have easily got these reads while I struggle getting any confident read.

This a good point tbh

Though I might not get good reads because I’m not trying

I'm actually a marmot not a panda

I caught up most posts since my last one but this game is making me angry. I'm making a lot of effort not to flame Urist and NAA for the fact they apparently signed up just to troll people.

I need time away from this game.

I guess if you guys need some reads, Sig looks like classic tinfoil Sig. Do not shoot there. Urist/NAA could be mafia and I don't care. Hollowkat probably mafia. Guillo def town. I like Creature and Marmot now. No opinions on the rest. Me not having opinions on someone is a worse sign than otherwise, but not strongly.

See, told you DDL was town

My reads change as far as I have any.

Probably better if Nook makes his decision.

I might come back stronger if I live

You seem dejected, idgi

I’m dejected irl. Don’t read into my mood. Actually going to nap now. Might be in a different mood later

DrWilgy
Dyslexicon
falcon45ca
hollowkatt
sig
Spacedaisy
Urist

Would probably rank DrWilgy > hollowkatt > falcon45ca/Spacedaisy > Urist > sig. I don't know where to place Dyslexicon tbh.

I don't have any confident lock town read, only gut reads.

Switch DrWilgy and hollowkatt.

My POE is Sig, SpaceDaisy, Wilgy & Marmot




These aren't just gut reads, but also involve the large & small intestine

DrWilgy and sig may just be null reads because it feels like I was just wolfreading them for their playstyle.

hollowkatt might be one wolf. Not sure who else. Perhaps Urist.

Why Marmot? I see their name thrown plenty of times.

Pure gut. I'm not great at reading Marmot

ba.

da.

Alright, I've cooled my head down so I have a disclaimer to make.

Since NAA and Urist have stated they do not intend to scumhunt or interact with people in a way related to scumhunting or solving alignments, and since, as they have pointed out, I cannot vote or kill them myself, I have decided I will not interact with them whatsoever for the rest of the game.

This forum doesn't have an user blocking function afaik, but I'll be acting like it did. As far as i'm concerned, NAA and Urist don't exist. They have decided they won't give their time to the game, so I'm not giving them my time either. I hope Nanook sorts their alignment out orthe mafia kills them (if they are town), and if those things don't happen, there's nothing I can about that.

I also announce I will disregard Urist's table when deciding my night actions, because he does not deserve the satisfaction of telling me what to do after announcing his intent of being antisocial with me. I don't care if this ends up being suboptimal: I'd rather lose this game than play it in a way that invalidates the main reason I play Mafia in the first place, which is socializing with other people. Some things are more important than winning or losing.

This policy currently applies to this game alone, and no other places.

Thank you players, and mods, for your patience. I will now resume reading the game's posts and trying to solve the alignments of the people who came here to play mafia.

pan.

I'm not trying to make you angry. I'm sorry that happened. I just have a minimalist approach to mafia.

The only things town should be doing right now are a) looking town, and b) advising Nanook on who to shoot. And I guess since I'm doing it right now: c) resolve conflict. Anything outside those bounds is just going to be a distraction for Nanook.

I'm glad you're willing to approach the game in a way that you can contribute.

That said, I honestly don't understand the argument that NAA and Urist are trolling.

Imo, NAA is stating reads, interacting with players, and pushing a night-action strategy that he thinks is optimal.

Imo, Urist is advocating for players to play in a manner that gives scum little information to plan around. He thinks that's optimal. I completely disagree, and think it's kinda scummy he's pushing that.


But I don't understand how you see it as trolling. If you don't want to talk about it, feel free to ignore this post. I'm stating what I see, and it's clearly not what you see.

^My previous post was made in response to DDL.

Marmot wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 1:47 pm I reread Dizzy's ISO. Mean is not the word that I'd use to describe him, where did you see that @Dragon D. Luffy?

Dizzy's posts where he called myself and Michelle "ok" doesn't look good in light of Michelle flipping wolf.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 8:00 pm Ok, I can actually vibe with Michelle + Marmot as pretty ok though.

In particular because this is Dizzy's only mention of Michelle, and it's a very mild read at that based on nothing in particular (though vibe reads are very real thins, I just don't see a reason for it here). I'm gathering that Dizzy is calling us both town in this post, can you clarify @Dyslexicon?

The main indicator was his overuse of "I don't care". Felt pouty. I also felt a tone of sarcasm coming from his posts I didn't like much.

I don't understand the vitriol towards urist and axe? They're both contributing and playing the setup, regardless of their alignment, so I'm not sure i see an issue


And threatening to ignore a night plan cosigned by the IC just for spite is like

Not something I expected from you lol

Ok sure maybe they aren't trolling and the word is unwarranted.

(I did not use that word in my last post btw, so that isn't really the angle I'm going with anymore).

But they are playing in a way I am not interested in doing myself, even if it's the objectively best way to win the game, and that gives me no way of talking to them besides begging them to interact, which, as we have noticed, makes me angry and emotional. So it's best for everyone involved if I only engage with the people who want to engage back. The two can stay in their corner doing math if they wish, I'm not going there myself.

I've done worse.

For some reason I thought you were a fairly rational player

Oh I am, it's just that my reason isn't strictly used to winning or losing the game I'm playing. The things I believe in outside the scope of the game are also things I use my reason to deal with.

I mean, ok, you're playing deeply irrationally but

Dude, I made that disclaimer because I want to stop discussing this. Can we stop discussing this before the mods come here again and ask me to stop discussing this? Thanks.

Actually maybe just HK > anyone. The last time someone town read me for actual good reasons were spf as mafia lol. HK’s town read of me gave me a bit of those vibes. Peeersonally

Apparently this is how hollowkatt reacted under pressure. Not sure what to read off this legacy posting. What do you all think?

Are you gonna follow the night plan

Would it be a bad idea to ask who wolves are more likely to nightkill tonight if not NANOOK?

We should all follow the night plan. Just do it.

Also, quick, remind me what dice number it is again depending on the flip. Would appreciate it greatly.

No. I'll protect you whenever I feel like it, based on my own criteria.

If you want to policy kill me for it, go ahead. I'm town though, so I don't think it will be good for our faction anyway.

It would probably be pointless speculation. Depends entirely on who the wolves are anyway.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME Seriously never shoot DDL this game. Don't know if you were ever going to, but please just don't. I will haunt you.

Yeah, I'm following the night plan. Though, if I rand a no save, I may or may not attempt to save someone else.

I mean the players we're townreading, are likely to be nightkilled tonight if town and we'd rather they survive tonight.

This setup seems so weird now. I feel like last time, it was super easy to get reads and discussions going. Maybe because Nut had the gun and jumped on everyone and everywhere.

Now I'm just like waiting for whatever Nook is going to do and in a general meh mood.

If we need it later, maybe infuse this with a whoever gets the most votes gets shot or something, to make something more happen. Or at least pretend. Dunno

Well, then you answered your own question. So I don't see where you're going with this.

Fingers was killed N1 so anything could happen.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 2:57 pm There has been literally zero sense about why I’d be mafia at all. The only reasoning anyone has given was because of some assumptions about what drives the mafia kill and then presumption it is me by people who have literally never played with me before so I have no idea how I’m even in this list in the first place.

I'm not gonna dispute this but so far I've seen little reason to think you're town either.

Also the timing of this post is weird, I'm not seeing you get attacked that much tbh.

Welp. At least I trust Nanook with the gun. But yeah, it's a weird game that makes it somewhat harder to wolf hunt.

Btw, what was the other game with this same setup?

I mean that is kind of the dream setup for nook.

Creature wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 6:07 pm Btw, what was the other game with this same setup?

Space Invaders. I was the host.

It's a game designed at Pokemon Showdown, which I've adapted to have a higher player number (the original was like 9 I think).

Creature wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 6:07 pm Btw, what was the other game with this same setup?

I think it was called space invaders. It was the second most eye rolling loss I've experienced, after GoC 2020 lol
