Oh dang, this started already and I'm 7 pages behind. Guess it's reading time

[Laplacian]

I've played one game with House so far, and this is exactly how he acted as town in that one, including the fast af claim

[Laplacian]

RTP gives me townfeels as well. nothing concrete, but silly posts + cute bunny with a tragic past goes a long way towards building trust

[Laplacian]

House, you should reveal as IC so we can add "twice" to your sig.

Nah.

Hardclaim: Town Jester

sorry, "claim" would be more accurate. it needs those quotes

[Laplacian]

Okay, I'm caught up and Frogsterking's post stuck out the most for me. It feels a lot like "I made a helpful town thing, look how townie I am!". If he posts the survey and it is legit helpful, then consider this retracted, but until then it's blatantly grabbing for trust.
VOTE: Frogsterking

[Laplacian]

I'm not sure if I should be more offended by the double vote, or by them both immediately moving on to talk about anime. Ouch

[Laplacian]

i could give it a watch once my uni responsibilities die down a bit! if i start watching it now and it's good, i won't stop until i finish it, and that's not good news for my grades.

anyway, now that i'm back from my walk - this is not a town post. the bolded is what especially bugs me. *what* is the point of that? assume laplacian is town. why would he post this? why would he be giving his scumread a roadmap on how to get back on his good side? i feel like a townie here who finds the exsitence or lackthereof of the survey would wait to see if the person posts it themselves. this feels more like trying to overjustify their scumread rather than actually trying to read someone.

if this were an older player, i could see this being a reaction test of some sort, but i think it's less likely to be one coming from a new player, so.

First, I'm assuming that he was posting it no matter what. Since saying "I'll post this useful town survey" and then not posting it is even more sketchy. Reevaluating my stance when the survey appears is just natural, and so it's natural to say it.

Second... okay, yeah, explaining what would change my mind is definitely a habit I get should rid of in mafia. Establishing what would change your mind is great for real life, bad for scumhunting. I stand by my vote though.

laplacian i think u could be town talk to me :3

Hell yeah let's talk. Have any good food lately? I made porkchops with a mushroom & whiskey sauce last night, was pretty tasty.

[Laplacian]

Laplacian do u hate me :c I wanna talk to u and u ignore me :c :c :C

Not ignoring, just typing slow :3

[Laplacian]

Food is just as good as the game though, just saying...

As for innocentvillager, yeah, little sus. Three posts with one vote, one "Im town", and one about naked voting. And if naked voting is wrong, I should probably get some pants

[Laplacian]

The survey says I'm a Taurus and should be in Ravenclaw, pretty sure that makes me town.

Anyway, while Big 5 / FFM was made up by actual psychologists and is used in some research, it was still made by taking an assload of subjective observational data, tossing it into a bag of linear algebra, shaking them together and hoping it works. The results are non-orthogonal, omit fundamental aspects of human nature, and traits like neuroticism trivially change based on the testee's mood. Saying "factor analysis" isn't a pass btw; algorithms are biased if their data is biased. My personal favorite was a hiring algorithm where the strongest traits it looked for were playing high-school lacrosse and being named Jared. Yes, researchers get results out of OCEAN tests. Alchemists got results too. Pretending this survey is objective and flawless is peak comedy, and accusing people of being closed minded for dismissing it is some freshmen psych student bullshit.

[Laplacian]

I should probably actually play the game too. frogster is townlean because of the sheer effort but I'm leaving the vote on them anyway because I scored 0.16969% on the openness temperament and a 420% on the grumpy at misusing psych tests trait. House still town, Datsi's giving me good townfeels too with good contributions and thought out posts

[Laplacian]

I don't know Laplacian's alignment, but he makes me laugh.

I aim to please

[Laplacian]

ffff that's a lot of posts. I'll fully respond once I'm off work, but 1. frogster's 592 case is garbage and 2. what exactly is "lunchbait"? I have ideas from context, but want to make sure.

[Laplacian]

it means you are an easy elimination because you are naturally scummy when town.

Frog is asking what the odds are that you are a townie being run up for being scummy rather than a mafia being run up.

What I thought, thanks.
