I've decided that my username is now pronounced "sike", as opposed to "puhseechee".

Psyche · Post Post #313 (isolation #1) » Mon Dec 22, 2014 4:23 pm

Okay, so right now I don't care who is scum.
Just tell me who is the reason for the last twelve pages so that I can help ruin their week.

hah
someone said flail

Psyche · Post Post #317 (isolation #3) » Mon Dec 22, 2014 5:13 pm

Okay, I think there's enough time and activity for me to care who is scum.

vote 2birds

i was probably wrong,
but will just sheep abr for now

Psyche · Post Post #358 (isolation #5) » Tue Dec 23, 2014 6:51 pm

I think 2b is town. So I can't just vote for him anymore.

unvote

no that won't do, either

Psyche · Post Post #361 (isolation #8) » Tue Dec 23, 2014 6:58 pm

I'll be here at deadline to make sure we don't no lynch, but damn, guys.

Psyche · Post Post #377 (isolation #9) » Wed Dec 24, 2014 7:20 am

I wish my play could be more comprehensible and ordered.
But I got a town pm so it's as if I'm in a dark room with only the sounds of low echoes to lead me around.

Psyche · Post Post #395 (isolation #10) » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:13 pm

Droog was a weird choice. They must have smelled PR?

Psyche · Post Post #397 (isolation #11) » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:22 pm

Sure, we've won now. But hopefully we can go for a perfect performance. I'm brainstorming atm.

Psyche · Post Post #401 (isolation #12) » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:27 pm

Riddleton is a good choice for starting this.

Psyche · Post Post #402 (isolation #13) » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:29 pm

Can we be sure that the mafia chose 3 mods?

Psyche · Post Post #404 (isolation #14) » Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:51 pm

But the first two town PRs have nothing to do with scum PRs, right?

Let's put that talk off until later. ;)

Who are you popcorning to.

Psyche · Post Post #427 (isolation #20) » Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:10 am

I mean,
you posted a lot during the Christmas period.
And AK made clear that he'd extend the deadline for people facing your challenges.

Psyche · Post Post #437 (isolation #22) » Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:21 am

I mean, if you are our cop,
one of the town's most valuable and powerful roles,
and you were able to make a number of posts over the deadline,
but unable to pm a single username or extension request to AK,
I'm more than a smidge disappointed in you.

But it's hard to imagine that scum would offer so flawed a narrative?

Psyche · Post Post #439 (isolation #23) » Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:24 am

I'm sorry, I don't want you to feel down about it; it's just a game and that's the most that I'll vent about the matter. We can still work together and win this.

Psyche · Post Post #442 (isolation #24) » Mon Dec 29, 2014 2:19 pm

I killed Hiraki.

I think we should return to our habit of justifying reads with evidence-based reasoning.

Psyche · Post Post #485 (isolation #27) » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:13 am

wgeurts is pretty definitely town
but hey i've been wrong before

Psyche · Post Post #487 (isolation #28) » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:36 am

Well apparently ABR targetted Bob, so he must have had one of the PRs. Or are the PRs factional?

Oh, droog died.

Psyche · Post Post #491 (isolation #31) » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:38 am

They didn't choose JOAT. Otherwise mathdino would probably be dead.

Psyche · Post Post #493 (isolation #32) » Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:43 am

They presumably avoided killing the confirmed innocent because they expected him to be protected, right? Strongman would've made that moot. And ninja would have made ABR untraceable. I have my doubts that they would add a town PR to get JOAT and then not be eager to use it.

Psyche · Post Post #508 (isolation #33) » Tue Dec 30, 2014 9:10 am

I guess I'll kill flubber.

vote wgeurts

Psyche · Post Post #509 (isolation #34) » Tue Dec 30, 2014 9:11 am

I'm just really suspicious of the assumptions we're going into this with.
But now it's all in you guys' hands, huh?

Psyche · Post Post #526 (isolation #37) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:17 pm

I'm very sorry. The length of the last Night made me much more lackadaisical about this Night than I should have been.

Psyche · Post Post #530 (isolation #38) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:26 pm

No kill is explained as either a scum gambit OR submission to the inevitable.

Psyche · Post Post #531 (isolation #39) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:28 pm

Also, we should wait for Bob, etc, to claim targets.

Psyche · Post Post #536 (isolation #40) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:32 pm

I wish I could be as confident as you guys.

Psyche · Post Post #538 (isolation #41) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:42 pm

Oh, I am confident that we'll win. That's easy.

Psyche · Post Post #540 (isolation #42) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 5:51 pm

It would work against a certain sort of town if the RBer claimed first.

Psyche · Post Post #542 (isolation #43) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:10 pm

"I RBed TEXCAT GOGOGO"
"yay woo vote: textcat"
"texcat has been lynched"

I don't you get where I'm coming from.

Psyche · Post Post #548 (isolation #45) » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:42 pm

I know that Texcat is the RB. That's why I used her name.
But you're right that I'm not paying attention.

In post 60, Riddleton wrote:Post 57 by wgeurts is pretty bad.

a) RVS vote on ABR. This is fine, except how he gets defensive when MathDino questions him not liking RVS. His defensive "But it's RVS" responce is trying to posture his vote as valid as if it was handed down from above. He continues with a pseudo-defence of himself by defending someone else who made a RVS vote; He says Howl's vote "Had bullshit reasons for the lolz" and is acceptable. The point here is his vote was
perfectly acceptable
but the excessive justification of a silky RVS vote is very scummy behaviour.

b) His continues to defend the Howl wagon by analysing everyone's votes on it in the Post 57 wall. BB's vote is "acceptable RVS" but null, somehow -- which makes 0 sense. Then claiming that progressively those who slipped on to the wagon look scummier and scummier, peaking at 2birds. He then proceeds to vote 2birds. I don't think it's a coincidence how the later you are to the Howl wagon, the more scummy wgeurts perceives you to be. Could this defensive behaviour be defending his scumbuddy? (Howl?)

c) Continuing on with the "Oh, the IC looks pretty town" joke is pointkess after it's already been done before already.

IN A NUTSHELL:
Defensive play throughout the game so far. He's no reason to be like this as town. He had this exact same playstyle as scum in O574.

This post seemed mechanical, like you had run some logic program on wgeurts' post. As a psych guy, I'm really interested in understanding what it is about text that can make it feel mechanical.

In post 584, texcat wrote:Good game all. Psyche, how did you pick ABR to kill?

I was deciding between a few different people, including wgeurts and TheAlchemist, with the mindset that a null read would be a fine kill and that in general ABR would be hard to get lynched.

And then Hiraki replaced in. I don't really like Hiraki, so that broke the tie.
