Speaking of engagement, is this level of activity typical for Haley?

So about that.
My other head took a break from Mafia a few months ago. He was down to give it another go as a hydra since this is my first game in a while as well, but still doesn't feel like playing.
Guess he might read parts of the game if I ask him to, if there's anything specific y'all want I'll ask.

-Harvey

Nothing specific, I was mostly wondering if her disappearance was AI

[House]

i mean i shouldnt need to lay out how pagetops specifically arent AI when we have other metrics that make way more sense to determine activity in relation 2 scumminess

So you agree with me, but hate that i said it?

[Gamma Emerald]

i dont like thors pagetop post but what i dislike more is house's constant signalling about how wrong it is

This reminded me I had a thought
I’m gonna put off going further on exploring it for now.

well i think the fact you kept coming back to it after it had happened to signal how wrong it was instead of engaging in other ways feels performative

Let's examine that, shall we?

Why, then?

He posted a wall of text in what looks like an effort to be productive without actually contributing to the game.

Did it not bother you the first four times he did that?

That shit was setup spec.

I'm less than clueless about setup spec in this game.

Activity theorizing, however, I'm very familiar with. I'm a spammy motherfucker as either alignment and have always been that way, so it's something i see a lot of discussion about.

Also, if it's an effort to be productive, even if it fails at that, what's wrong with it?

Scum doesn't have motive to contribute to the game, but they have motive to APPEAR to contribute to the game.

Not that one post flips my read of him, it's just disappointing.

Edit

Scum doesn't have motive to contribute to the game, but they have motive to APPEAR to contribute to the game.

Sure, but town also has a motive to contribute which in turn makes them appear to contribute. Why do you think it was the appearance of contributing rather than actually contributing?

Already explained.

@House: Using my gut combined with stats is when I see the best results for my reads, I've refined this over a long time of playing

I know this.

My point is, the stat you've chosen is irrelevant at best.

As SS pointed out, if activity is what you're after, there's a link at the bottom of every page that shows how many posts every player has made in this thread.

Pagetop spec just fuels pagetop sniping for whatever reasons the players may have, and I'm sure the mods probably won't appreciate that.

Looks to me like i didn't "come back to" anything.

I was answering questions that S_S was asking, and there was ONE post that i clarified the read directly to Thor.

I am not seeing what you're saying at all.

[Enchant]

100% if i ask Bee about reason, she will tell "lol idk i just starting wagons before it sticks".

No, really wtf.

[ManateeGal]

boop

Oh cool, you're town!

house im talking abt these

[Enchant]

Manatee, i think that's sarcasm.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

I've been cooling on the idea that Thor is scum.

I think he's been forming reads in his own way and liked his read on house. I'm also willing to buy that his funposting is town posting.

And MM isn't a bad vote from his point of view.

I'm just unsure where to go at this point.

[Gamma Emerald]

Manatee, i think that's sarcasm.

Yeah he’s just mocking the concept
I feel like Thor has a semblance of a point on that subject, there’s probably just more nuance to it

Why not Enchant/H+H?

[ManateeGal]

@Enchant

well yea obviously but it still reads like performative outrage

I'm trying to figure out which is better or if I should go elsewhere.

Why did you vote Harvey over enchant?

[Gamma Emerald]

Wasn’t sure how many enchant had but it felt like a sizeable amount, and certainly less than H+H

[Gamma Emerald]

more, not less*

[Cat Scratch Fever]

@Enchant

I don't see how it's performative if House legitimately thinks pagetop counting is stupid.

[House]

boop

Oh cool, you're town!

house im talking abt these

Oh, that's just snark.

[ManateeGal]

if enough people arent reading it the same way i am then im ready to admit my interpretation is wrong

and
VOTE: Enchant

[Flea The Magician]

*praying flea is vig*

keep praying.

[Enchant]

Million of flies can't be wrong.

[Enchant]

Idk why i am even targeted here.

[Gamma Emerald]

Million of flies can't be wrong.

Interesting response when her next move was to vote you

[House]

My toes are cold.
