Is it, though?

I guess I should have looked at BBT's meta before calling him terse.

Psyche · Post Post #89 (isolation #21) » Tue Mar 31, 2015 9:18 am

the meta changes nothing

i understand the virtue of Llamarble and CES's early game procedure
but at the moment it all seems rather mechanical
there's nothing to read in it

tth is more town than scum for following up on my gasp

ika is so ika and i'm very unhappy about that but ambivalent about the thing that matters

aero, oversoul, zach are all in the same bunch in my head
reg and elk in another
llamarble and ces in a third

someone will ask what the bunches mean!

they just have the same place in my head when i think about them and this game

You're impressed that I read your post? :S

Town usually go depth-first and put some time into analyzing one player, then another. Scum focus on understanding the game as a whole so they can make sure the day doesn't head down a path that will hurt them.

that's pretty close to my first guess
but i'm not the first person in the game to take a panorama shot
so i thought there was more to it

Psyche · Post Post #143 (isolation #32) » Tue Mar 31, 2015 8:13 pm

bbt is reforming himself a little, but brushing me off and doing that is just common sense
his explanation that he was more interested in trying to get me to join the ika wagon when he voted me comes off as less a defense than an example of my problem with our interaction: the ika was a lolwagon, designed purely to make it easy to figure out who's scum; treating it as an end in itself is just strange

Felt weird voting Psyche for the sake of doing something while I waited for CD to post. Patience is hard.

TOWN:
Llamarble

Regfan - He hasn't really done anything yet but 2 town tokens :doubles: his chance of being town.
Zach - I expect at least one token from him as well. Town are more likely to see their targets as 'squirming.'

BBT - Confidence, readiness to change direction. #84 particularly solid.
ika - Attitude, 'Elk is prob scum for calling me town.'

Oversoul - Followed a reasonable path so far.
TTH - 81, 135 are both moves in the right direction.

CES - 44 & 128 are solid but within scumrange.
Psyche - Pretty much content-free.
Elk - Kinda has the figuring out the game tone but he hasn't really bitten in, works with Cheery, and mostly speaks in generalities.
Ankamius - All he's provided is a low-relevance vote.
Aeronaut - seemed kinda town on a previous readthrough but works just fine as scum.

Cheery Dog - A scum token makes you twice as likely to be scum as a random person. This is sufficient to lynch barring impressive play I haven't seen yet. I don't think CD realized how strong the tokens are.
:SCUM

VOTE: Cheery Dog

I'm kind of tired so I may have derped some of these, but this is round 0.5 I guess.

Honestly the way you're processing the game sounds like scum figuring out what everyone is doing so they can decide how to play rather than town figuring out who is scum.

VOTE: Psyche

In post 116, Llamarble wrote:Elk, what is your opinion of Cheery Dog? Also, why would an analysis of the votes for ika take a long time? There are like 100 posts in this thread and only 4 votes for ika.

Who are Cheery's buddies?

In post 138, Llamarble wrote:Maybe he didn't understand how hard it's going to be for us to justify lynching anyone other than him today with this information in play.
Maybe he was concerned people wouldn't believe him if he didn't claim his token and wanted to get in front of the problem, hoping to be townread for doing so.
Cheery Dog is currently ~twice as likely as any other player in this game to be scum. He better do some impressive things if he doesn't want to die.

Psyche · Post Post #279 (isolation #54) » Wed Apr 01, 2015 11:11 pm

but here's what i really can't understand

he pushes for a detailed answer several times to this question:
"Show me the scum-hunting."
"Show me scum-hunting that relates to those reads."
"Show me scum hunting from that post that relates to those reads I just gave."
"You said I was strawmanning. I asked you to show me where the scum-hunting was that lead to those reads. So, show me."
"Show me the scum-hunting that relates to those reads. Stop dodging."
"Now, show me the scum hunting, not token speculation, scum hunting that lends itself to this read on Regfan."

I count 6. But there's no sign in his iso that he really cared about my answer.

He states that he's going to ignore me for the time being because I've frustrated him. But in the same post as that statement, he asks why I've unvoted.

it looked to me like he was just using the specter of frustration to avoid a discussion about his reads
but I'm just babbling incoherent nonsense don't mind me
since i'm an idiot i'll just focus on wagoning with the right smart people

I'm certainly not glad to be inactive right now; I'm simply finding it hard to juggle all of my current obligations. Encouragement yesterday to just vote Aero because ??? plus the various meanspirited put-downs (which inclined me to revenge-troll) sort of held me down, but I don't intend to be as difficult this Day.
