SIR Disease Mafia - Game Over!

[Aristophanes]

Also best of luck with your friend, mastina! I know when I was worried about losing my closest friend, which I noted a little while back in the Relationships thread, I was in no state to play either. I'm sure situations are different, but you obviously value this person greatly and to be that close I would think they'd have to value you as well!

Your situation sounds a little more like medical than interpersonal and so I'm probanly not going to be helpful here but regardless, I wish both of you the best! <3

[Aristophanes]

But what does it tell YOU about Mastina, Ari

Good question!

I don't think mastina is wrong in seeing scum equity on those posts from me. I have a tendancy to made handwavy statements and throw a ridiculing shade on people as scum because it's easier than fully formed reads, which I simply cannot manage as scum. No matter how hard I try, save for a few exceptional games.

So mastina seeing that Ari in them is entirely reasonable. I can't fault her for it. But it is wrong.

I am very fond of recent posts, and see no scum motives in any of the recent ones. So I think a combination of honest scumhunting and decent posting leaves a nice town taste in my mouth

What was Hoctacs slip? I’ve been busy with holiday weekend things.

What was Hoctacs slip? I’ve been busy with holiday weekend things.

mastina made a good point that it was more likely a townslip so
UNVOTE:

Goddammit!

But to answer the Q, they said infected will die at the start of the next night phase, which seems like privilaged info. But also probably wrong info so I don't even know now.

[gobbledygook]

How is that a slip? It seems like a role slip rather than alignment slip.
People jumping into Hoctac’s wagon look opportunistic as crap.

[Auro]

Who specifically

[gobbledygook]

All of them.

[gobbledygook]

I get different feelings about Jake’s AtE than I do ETL’s AtE. Mainly because ETL committed to it and Jake backed off after a bit given how people reacted to it. I don’t want to vote there because I don’t want him to hate the site and leave. :c

[gobbledygook]

Like all of those votes on Hoctac except for Quick came in rapid succession without any basis really.

[Aristophanes]

That's a pretty surface read of things, Gobbles.

For instance, I voted to pressure rhe slot and hammer out if it was scummy or not. Hoctac's answer was Meh but A50 and mastina did a decent job outlinjng why it was bad to assume that was a slil, this I unvoted.

You seem to have missed all of this?

[Aristophanes]

And I take it this means you townread Hoctac

[gobbledygook]

I do townread Hoctac.
And how is that a surface level view of what happened? You voted Hoctac just to pressure them for the slip rather than thinking about how that could or could not be a slip?

[Auro]

Towncase Hoctac. I townread him too but I wanna see your thoughts.

[Nahdia]

VOTE: pisskop

back to this please.

[Auro]

Ari is now a townread

[gobbledygook]

Towncase Hoctac. I townread him too but I wanna see your thoughts.

Ari is now a townread

Festivities will prevent this for a day or so.
What has now made Ari a townread in your eyes?

[Auro]

He's stepping up in terms of solving and aggression, I feel, and his pushes are valid.

Tldr gut feelz

[Nahdia]

back to the pisskop/saudade slot, please.

[Almost50]

hence why it sounds like privileged information. particularly the bit about them dying at the beginning of the night. no idea what that's from.

You're reading it the wrong way. He said "Infected die start of the next night" meaning; the process of dying for the infected starts at the next night, not that they die at the start of the night.

[Almost50]

Infected will be pushing randomly and may fail to align with scum, so a bunch of infected people in thread may not allow a favorable outcome (since they can end up lynching each other as well and it feels better for scum to lynch town over infected).

Do we actually know this to be the case?

Yes we do. The infected do NOT get notified of the original scum team (nor who else was infected). That is mod confirmed info.

[Nero Cain]

back to the pisskop/saudade slot, please.

maybe you should explain why we should be voting there instead of just telling us to sheep there.

[Nahdia]

my previous case stands.

[Nero Cain]

but I don't even know your previous case, Either tell us or quote it. OFC, I could ISO you but...

[Nero Cain]

Sure, go ahead and believe that if you want in spite of me having laid out exactly what I would do when infected.

yes, clearly you are going to be that rigidly narrow. Announcing that you are going to be a lurk sack if you get infected and basically threatening to tank is p much against the sprit of the game. And its not like "I said I'd be a lurksack if I was infected and I'm not being a lurksack so it

proves

that im not infected!" isn't the ironclad defense you think it is.
