Mini 2231: Radio Buzz | Game Over!

[Infinity 324]

i don't think i said this earlier, i felt rousseau's early posts were pretty towny

[Tetrina]

Hi all. I'll mostly be active in the evenings, but probably kinda spotty activity for d1. Work is kicking my ass, but it should ease up before too long. I couldn't resist when I saw this game in signups, though.

Ah
Well generally I don’t feel like the numbers town has offer that big an advantage when scum have the information advantage

Idk it feels like 10 town and 4 scums would be more fair, but I'l trust that the game was reviewed or something

VOTE: Tetrina

First scum vibe. Salty, much?

Seriously why would I say this if I was salty? Irl I always pretend to be happy if I'm scum and there's too many town and not enough scum

[Infinity 324]

to be fair, you're first comment about that was 200 which could be "trying to be happy".

[rousseau]

almost radio friends time

[Tetrina]

to be fair, you're first comment about that was 200 which could be "trying to be happy".

It's not really the same thing. Anyway I forgot I said that and I would've remembered if I was scum

[Tetrina]

almost radio friends time

Excited!

[skitter30]

i may be too scared of skitt and just trying to shut down any reason to tr her that i don't like

. for perspective, i'm probably not going to tr her this early almost no matter what.

uh so yeah i do find this to be somewhat problematic/troubling even after perpetual elo, just saying

[Morning Tweet]

Without warning, the radio buzzes alive..

                             

Hey, hey! Inbound communications work shockingly well.
We can hear most of what you guys are saying!
~Shutterbug                 

                     

Yes... and on that note,
It's good to see that a majority of you are so keen to solving this matter.
As always, please continue to uphold yourselves in a professional manner.
~Maple                    

            

Hi... Hoping these come through ok.
Your initial guesses appear lackluster, but I can't seem to pinpoint the scum yet.
Your call on Rousseau seems correct for the moment, as for Tetra I have my doubts...
Easy to play the newcomer card as scum.
You all keep working. We're here to help.
~Locke                    

             

Ok I gotta say this is quite the interesting group goin' on here.
We've got comms but not much.
Lived in many cities, travelling from place to place as a soldier of war, been a pilot..
I've seen it all, but this is something new.
Hope you all keep in touch, because this will be one hell of a ride...
~Fleet                    

          

I know that there are some bad actors among you guys, but..
Don't lose sight of yourselves out there. You'll need to work together to survive!
After all, we're still friends all in this together, right? Be it that we live or die.

[skitter30]

lol locke is scummy

[Infinity 324]

@skitt sure, i'll try to stop myself if i notice myself doing that again.

if you think i wouldn't feel that way as town, i'm not sure what to tell you. that game kinda tore my soul out.

[ssbm_Kyouko]

VOTE: skitter30

Does a scum!Skitter spend this much effort trying to build a case on town on day 1 of a phase when it's likely any wagon there is likely to break up?

I think skitter is probably town and this (and DGB's vote on skitter) are giving me alarm bells.

Feels like TMI, but if it is TMI, it seems like the intent is to make light of the wagon on skitter indirectly ("it's likely any wagon there is likely to break up"). I say it seems like TMI because Galron has been talking to me as though I'm null or scummy to this point, most of his posting is about how the callers are a distraction iirc. That makes me think he would see me as scummy for bringing the focus there. But he asks his hypothetical as though he knows I'm town. This doesn't align.

VOTE: Galron

It remains to be seen if this is WKing or just defending a buddy but I think Skitter has behaved well since voting me and since I voted her.

[rousseau]

lol locke is scummy

is it because

'hi'

or

density of game content relative to others

or

appealing to me both w/ regards to read on me and view of tetrina

or

?

[skitter30]

that was a game >.>
and i can understand you being super wary
maybe this is something to be talked about in post i guess

[skitter30]

is it because

- dislike that he's saying we're doing a bad job while saying he doesn't really know where scum is either
- tetra is a *very* easy place to slap a scumread
- 'you all keep working. we're here to help' feels very off. (actually i think this bit is the part htat pings me the most)

[Galron]

If Tetrina was invited to this game by MT from an irl playgroup, the radio callers may also be members of that group, btw.

Does it matter?

I think it could be helpful either way Tetrina is aligned.

Maybe I guess. I guess we'll have a better feel after the first communication? Right now it seems like it's hardly worth mentioning and doesn't advance the game.

[ssbm_Kyouko]

Because I didnt read the setup correctly and thought the 1 caller that knows the identity of scum was not known by scum, like a traitor. I feel like in that situation the caller would want to signal scum so I wanted to look for that signal.

eh ok, i guess that could make some amount of sense and is semi-plausible. and that's what you were thinking the first time you read the messages?

I was surprised they were actual people rather than mod-controlled anonymous messages. I just sort of read them and didnt think that much of them except that it was interesting that one was named Locke when we have Rousseau in the game. I thought the font thing tweetie did to show the static was cool, and after I saw the pronouns listed I scrolled back up to try to commit the pronouns to the avatars/usernames.

That's all I can remember thinking when reading it the first time

ok
so upon learning that there were scum in the messages you went back to see if you can identify one, is that right?
what was your thoguht process the second tiem around, if you don't mind?

Well I thought it was a scum caller that knew the scumteam, but was unknown to them, like a traitor, so I looked for anything to indicate that one of the callers was somehow informed or was trying to signal the scumteam. "3 malefactors" stood out because there are 3 scum, and I thought "hmm, I dont think I saw the name of the Mafia in my PM. The mafia would know the name of their faction though and maybe this is the signal. I also thought the helicopter could be scummy just because it indicated an action that may be coming up soon, but I thought malefactors was more plausibly the scummy message

yeah i think the part of 'if trying to appeal to me' that is missed would be that i don't think tetrina is necessarily mafia even if not actually a new forum player (who took 'scum can't pagetop' seriously)

the here to help and shutterbug's 'there's bad actors

among you guys

' yeah?

I was talking specifically about the wagon on you likely breaking up bc it's so early, not a wagon on skitter. You can call it white knighting if you want, but it's me trying to figure out if a scum!skitter spends the time making a case on you that's probably not going to result in a launch because early wagons usually don't last.

[ssbm_Kyouko]

it kiiiiinda feels like you're digging in your heels and i don't get it

Do you think scumFinity does that here?

I've had the same inkling and it grows stronger the longer the skitter-infinty discussion goes on. It seems white-knighty, I'm kinda thinking a Galron, DGB, Infinity team rn. Possible theater between them and they're all sort of distanced by positioning differently around skitter and I.

Pedit: not sure if launch was a typo but if it was that word is recently banned, and if it wasn't you should probably use a word less similar like yeet

Reading backwards and I see we've gotten the first messages.

[Infinity 324]

i'm not sure how my push on skitter was white knight-y, i did it to push skitter

Ok thanks
I'm not fully satisfied that this comes from town but i think this is probably all i'm going to get out of this interaction for now so i'm gonna
VOTE: dgb

Kinda need to take a step back if i'm tunneling and seeing what you do now will be helpful i think

I'm also still not getting good vibes from infinity but i think i'm a bit too involved to feel like i have a confident scumread rn so i want to sleep on it

@ rouseau i'm sorry but i dont understand the post you wrote back to me, can you reword it

[rousseau]

@ rouseau i'm sorry but i dont understand the post you wrote back to me, can you reword it

uh, basically the first part was just expanding on the 'if trying to appeal to me' thing from the series of ors i had asked you previously, like why the 'easy' scumread on tetrina wouldn't necessarily work towards that but it seems unlikely to me that they would have assumed my thought process there so it still seemed possible they were going for that, but now am also thinking about if appealing to me would be a reasonable thing for a mafia!rescuer to be doing anyway and it feels like i am getting further and further away, so probably off course there

the second part was about how the 'there's bad actors

among you guys

from shutterbug also pinged me, because like, there's a bad actor among the rescuers as well,

i feel like i am trying to fill in the all of the steps from like, rescuers read the thread(?) to rescuers give messages to morning tweet to what we are eventually presented

and how it feels like i have to add things to that process? for things included in some of these messages to make sense? like there is roleplaying going on, right,
