The Syndicate

Dana is a pretty easy read I think. People said that she was IC levels of obvtown in AIM Mafia, and she managed to earn a couple of townreads despite her slot overall being in a pretty shitty position in the hydra game.

why is sloonei spicy?

Alison wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 4:32 pm I do think Sloonei has been townie.

Tangy is mostly town but the spurt of rapid fluffposting at the start could be designed to dominate the thread. That's my sole concern about them.

It is designed to dominate the thread!

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 4:35 pm @Alison whaddya like about Sloonjay

For Sloonei I just like his vibes.

For you it's because you haven't been performative about your usual JJJ routine, which I think you'd be more likely to as mafia in this game.

only for rackets

I'm fine with everyone so far. Tangrowth is an actual town read and Dana is trending that way. Otherwise just fine.

No mention of your spicy brother hm

he hasn't done anything but I don't care he will when he feels like it

At what point do you feel this will matter?

I'm assuming paprika = spice --> spicy.

I'm going to restrain my immediate posting. I don't want to drown out the PerC crowd (are they accustomed to fast paces?) before they have a chance to get involved.

Y'all post as much as you like of course. My restraint can make the necessary difference.

It's a fair point, I wouldn't want to scare all of them off either. Just so glad to be back.

That depends on contextual details, but as a general guideline let's say late Day 1.

You’ve probably just been dating a lot of wolves. Don’t let them fool you.

Is dating a lot of wolves like kissing a lot of frogs before you find your one true love?
If so, I've dated too many wolves.
They've sweet talked me.
Let me know that I was their one and only.
And then, they made me cry.
I still believe in love and I hope that, in this lovely new place, I can find my one and only.

I'm not sure how detectable that is right now, so I was trying to get a feel for how you are reaching that conclusion and why it's worth noting at this stage in the game.

To clarify, I think stating anything is *worth saying*, especially D1, I just don't understand how that exact thought came to be and I don't know whether to believe it to not be forced.

How does one catch Alison as scum anyway? This is not a rhetorical question.

• Some townies
• One mafia team
• Maybe some 3Ps

Let's sort our POE needs right away, as much as we can:

24 players. One mafia team. 3Ps possible -- I'll guess one as a baseline. Most likely arrangement if so (give or take some for extra 3Ps or if power role strength is considerable):

18:5:1

With no extra kills that leaves 6 mischops available, and with 5 mafia that means a POE of 11 is needed (so 13 town, 12 not named YOU). Make it a POE of 12 to be safer if you like. Basically our immediate goal should be to cut this roster in half with gorgeous town dates or to come as close as possible. This can be done, so let's do it.

why allcrab tho

Hi!

To the PerC people and/or anyone else who wants to answer:

1) what do you think you bring to a game when you're town?
2) what do you hope to accomplish this game?
