Gamma Emerald

and

Clemency

have gotten a Room

[Flavor Leaf]

Does anyone want a room with me?

[Plotinus]

@Flavor: I do, you're my first choice, but I'm also happy to room with Something Smart if someone else wants to room with you.

[Gamma Emerald]

I’m of the mind the 3-man should be splitting out to find single partners and the leftovers from that should form another 3-man

[Persivul]

I'd take a room with Clemency tbh

Why?

In our room, you asked three questions. You got answers. Then, when asked for your own thoughts, you dodged, saying that you've lost interest in mafia because you have other things going on.

Now you want a new room right away.

[tris]

Sorry, didn't get around to this last night.

VOTE: Something_Smart, you haven't really been saying much here in the main thread.

[Dunnstral]

you haven't really been saying much here in the main thread.

Why is that an issue?

[tris]

It's hard to get a read on someone who isn't saying much.

[tris]

Not an awful lot.

Given the fairly obvious answer Gamma's recent question to me rings somewhat hollow.

This is the only opinion on a player I can find in his ISO.

So I agree with this in theory but since none of them are stepping up to proactively avoid being last man out again, I'm going to assume they just don't care that much.

Get a room Plotinus, Flavor Leaf

[Persivul]

I'm going to assume they just don't care that much.

I'm too busy IRL to be in a dozen neighborhoods. If I knew that would be expected, I wouldn't have signed up for this game. The setup language - "if players are engaging in an annoying argument or if you just want a neighbourhood with your friends" - certainly doesn't indicate that.

[Flavor Leaf]

@mod - I’m voting Persivul, not Dunn.

I get home tonight, so i should be able to be around more after that.

[Something_Smart]

Sorry for the inactivity.

I'll try and do something tonight.

[Persivul]

VOTE: Plotinus

From the room, 3 days ago:

[Redacted - do not quote from PTs]

Not sure why I can't quote myself, but anyway:

I was asked what I thought of plot. To paraphrase, I said:

- His first post is bad. I get using rooms for a reason. But, just making rooms to make rooms eventually sows confusion, and that benefits scum.

- Then I noted that I didn't like the reason given for the dunn vote in 140 because:

- It's not unusual for people to talk about novel mechanics at the start of a game.
- In 141, plot then addresses me and doesn't show suspicion, when I had expressed the same thoughts about rooms as dunn did.
- Again in 141 - "I am excited about the opportunity to apply graph theory to this coordination problem but we could scumhunt instead." But at that point, plot had mostly been talking about mechanics and had done very little scum hunting.

Then in 143 - "Clemency, you've disappeared. What are your reads?" This struck me as plot thinking

Oh yeah, I haven't been scum hunting either, better throw some in

But, just making rooms to make rooms eventually sows confusion, and that benefits scum.

I don't understand this part. Why would making a bunch of rooms sow confusion?

[tris]

I have some questions for Plotinus in our room. When I get those answered, I'll probably have more to say in response to this.

[Persivul]

I don't understand this part. Why would making a bunch of rooms sow confusion?

- I'd want to compare and contrast what a person said in a single room with me to what they say in a room with a third person and in the general thread. As threads multiply, that's got to get difficult.

- I would think that all these rooms would eventually lead to cases of he said/she said. Personally I think three person rooms are good for that reason. Unless two scum get in, what happens can be verified.

I didn't mention it in the previous post, but I also think the rooms tend to create apathy in the main thread. It's gotten pretty slow.

[Persivul]

I don't understand this part.

What do you think of the other parts?
