This sequence.

what about it

[FakeGod]

I would trust Yuri Gagarin with lone 6th

[OkaPoka]

the mechanical talk will continue until people understand the very existence of a 6th neighborhood is bad

[Yuri Gagarin]

who wouldn't trust the winner of the Hero of the Soviet Union and Order of Lenin awards

[OkaPoka]

legitimately there is one world where a 6th neighborhood is passable which is we all agree to a list that we will follow to eliminate straight down from

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm with the chicken.

[Solo]

Did you get blessings from Karl Marx though

[Hypothermia]

What am I witnessing.

[Solo]

I gave up on caring or thinking about mechanics

[OkaPoka]

u should care because nsg aims to design setups that if misplayed, have like an effective 30% wr for town

[Yuri Gagarin]

ydrasse were you trying to play differently to usual prior to outing ?

[Solo]

You got it sorted out, I sheep the utr strat

[Yuri Gagarin]

Did you get blessings from Karl Marx though

daddy Marx came to me as a vision in the night to tell me how proud he was of me for owning the American Space Program and all the nazis in it

[OkaPoka]

solo is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

[LavarManos]

FakeGod conspiracy theorizing about the mafia team all immediately cowering at his reads on them is +town I think. It made me laugh.

Do you think someone is townier if they make you laugh?? C-could I make you laugh??!? If I made you laugh you might like me!! I want you to like me so much Hypothermia!!

I like this thought

What is townie about this thought?

[Solo]

Okay I believe it, send me over a manifesto

[Solo]

solo is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Yes but the problem is that it's blinding

[OkaPoka]

oh jesus fuck me

[Hypothermia]

ydrasse were you trying to play differently to usual prior to outing ?

Playing as a standard fare Ydrasse-alt. More caps.

Now that I’m outted though, carry me.

[Yuri Gagarin]

Gamma at that point I believe had three votes; he engaged with one with sarcasm but did not make an attempt to really communicate with the people on him. Instead he sees someone who expressed a want to vote him and voted there, which is... confusing to me. I would want to understand more why a small wagon had formed on me even if it’s early, and I was imposing that onto Gamma as well. Engaging with someone on the merits of their posting style felt to me like it was a veiled attempt to dissuade Dusa from that sentiment in an aggressive manner.

Alternatively, I guess it could just be scum!Gamma not knowing how to engage with “stronger” players on his wagon yet but that more than anything is where I feel I’d be uncharitable. But it was the thing that pinged me in this game so far.

You’re correct that I’ve invented motivation though, but that’s just the point of scumhunting I think.

Thanks for this reply, I see where you're coming from a bit better. I think we may have a clash of playstyle/philosophy here, IMO usually (but especially early game) you gotta just take what people give you at face value, if you invent motivations/narratives for why someone's play is scummy you can almost always come up with a plausible scum-agenda explanation for a lot of town play and IMO that's what scum use to their advantage to push fake scumreads

another question, how likely do you think it is that all five players who voted Gamma are town?

dislike this from GL but not totally sure why

not so much for the specific content as I dislike the pattern of interaction?

initial pings were that his reasons for the hypo vote were bc of "feeling reachy" when it was like 6 pages in and

any

substantiation of a read atp is going to be reachy if it's going beyond "something seems off about X" and it just feels like the immediate backoff from that to it being a "clash of playstyle/philosophy" just not what I'd expect from GL who iirc is reasonable with people but also tends to want to interrogate things when they ping him

so the handwaveyness is maybe what's bothering me here rather than him like, examining further whether he thinks hypo is doing what he says he thinks scum often try to do re inventing narratives/motivations

[Yuri Gagarin]

solo is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Yes but the problem is that it's blinding

would you say that you're blinded by the light? or perhaps that you're drowning in the night?

[Bingle]

the mechanical talk will continue until people understand the very existence of a 6th neighborhood is bad

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!

The plan is roughly this:

We play D1 like a normal game of mafia, because the familiarity of a normal game of mafia will generate the best reads. When we get close to EoD (E-2ish) we have all of the scummiest people on wagon unvote and all of the towniest people off wagon pile on to hammer. D2 we eliminate off wagon with slightly less than half overlap, still favoring towny names on wagon. D3 we decide if we want to put in the effort to spiderweb communications. Rinse and repeat. If somehow there is a 6th pool likely on D5 (or a lack of overlap viable for Pool 5) we decide those names we want to purge in the first round of shooting before we hammer D5.

Alternative plans:

The one you mistakenly tried to copy, in which one person is the solo voter for 5 days. A variant on that in which one person is the solo voter for 5 days and then self votes. I'm not interested in pursuing either of those strategies due to both a lack of fun and it taking 60 days.

[Yuri Gagarin]

eh I think I like solo for a glorious revolutionary

[FakeGod]

What is townie about this thought?

alright listen up

you ain't saying much, and much of what you are saying are just filler stuff

you can salvage this by bringing me a dead scum soonish
