AI UPCIK PART II | Compromised

[Aristophanes]

Ego

I'll check this later

[Aristophanes]

Ignoring "first 3 posters".. I am the FURST poster. (I am also the FIRST on the players list, and I trust I am the oldest too, so I shall be claiming the "chairman" seat until proper elections have been held. That said; my first executive decision is to .. wait for it: CANCEL ELECTIONS!)

Oh, and a random vote on...

VOTE: Pesto

This a totally random vote. It's not because that's the only name I don't recognize on the players list or anything like that.

VOTE: A50 for both reminding me I'm old (likely 2nd oldest among the playerlist) and that I missed voting in out election today

Also something rings insincere in this post and that pings me, but Imma save that for later methinks.

[Aristophanes]

Also -true story- I thought I was Scum at first glance when I opened my role PM. Only when I read it in full did I realize The Kingdom was the TOWN faction, and that Gypyx used red text to mess with us all.

UNVOTE:

I feel this in my soul.

I guess you are town. Doesn't sound faked.

When did you realize The Kingdom was town, A50?

[Aristophanes]

How dare you call me insincere?? Mate; I put the SIN in sincerity.

Lolll
That's legit a good one XD

I realized The Kingdom was Town when I read the win con (to eliminate all threats, although I dunno why I'm paraphrasing when a sample PM is on Post 0

Interesting. I was trying to figure out my scummates until I read the OP.

I guess you're swifter than I am.

[Aristophanes]

AlmostSwifty

[Aristophanes]

Wait if we hydra can that be our username? I'd be down AF! =D

[Aristophanes]

Yesss I agree! Hangout time is one of the most integral parts! I'd make the time for you <3

[Aristophanes]

So, is this game going to start rolling or are we just socializing here?? (I don't mind the latter because I feel I'm in good company, so I'm just asking)

I mean, I was serious posting. But also I'm notably too busy for Mafia atm so a slow and easy approach works for me!

VOTE: Aristophanes for thinking he's the likely the second oldest when it hasn't been decided yet who the oldest is.

I think we had this discussion once Almost50 but I can't remember if you or I was older. If you are still on the south side of 50, I've got you beat.

Do I rank third here? :O

Wonderful!

I get carded without my facial hair. I just shaved it due to a new mask mandate in the province and I knoww I'll get asked without it. I swear I'm old tho!

Anyway, good fun vote. We should look for scum tho. Any thoughts in that respect?

[Aristophanes]

Also hi Ari! Can I pocket you?

Hey superbowel! =D

I'm honestly really easy to pocket. Just townbin and defend me and like, I assume you're town! It's a flaw, but I like it

[Aristophanes]

VOTE: Aristophanes

Alright I'll be over here you have fun with that.

You've piqued my interest unwnd! Make yourself at home. We'll have to have a chat. I'll make some tea!

Aristophanes - Is it OK if I shorten your name to Ari?

Absolutely! Please feel free to abbreviate my username in any way you see fit

Radical Rat is pinging scum for me. There is something in the first couple of pages that bugged me but I haven't started writing notes on the game yet so I can't tell you what it was exactly. Almost50 feels town.

I wonder if people have post restrictions. Titus hasn't been here. I know she had a V/LA tag when we started, but I looked at her posts last night and it was gone. So where is she? From what I remember she is usually very verbose.

Post restrictions seem likely, Titus also has been busy and had some meta changes of late I believe. I wouldn't necessarily read into that.

I look forward to your thoughts on RadRat when they get fleshed out some!

[Aristophanes]

Going straight to post restriction is weird

Sorry, I should say that post restrictions for this game seem likely, or at least would not surprise me. I was not trying to say I thought Titus had one specifically.

[Aristophanes]

She’s like, the only other slot I can recall real effort to drive the game forward from

What about A50?

[Aristophanes]

I just read 4 pages and despite the vote changes I don't feel like anything actually happened??

Maybe I should restart reading the game. It feels so preliminary still tho

Do you have a better method of making something out of nothing than shifting around votes?

What do you mean by making something out of nothing? We have 15+ pages of conversation! If that's still nothing then like, we're all very bad at this game.

I've Iso'd the 3 slots I've seen the most suspicion about thus far.
Momrangal is a eeird wagkn. I have no idesla why she was deemed suspicious for the overreaction to mastina and mollie's death. There's no content and not much to parse. Null slot.

Rad Rat seems pretty towny. I think the way they post is townleaning and the linenof questioning as well as the adjustments as nee info comes to light are good at this stage in the game. They're pushing things along. Good stuff!

Dragon of the West seems scummy to me. Ither than the latest posts about unwnd everything has either been fluff or mechanical talk. That's an easy way for scum to float along, in a slow game especially. Id3like to see so.e pressure here today.

VOTE: DotW

[Aristophanes]

That was actually when I was voting mom? I think? Now I'm voting skybird.

Yeah I think I saw a vote count and got confused. What about Ari did you like for scum?

@Ari - where'd you go? You dipped since I responded to you

Sorry, atm I'm sorking 7bdays a week and averaging 10+ hours a day. Today I worked 13 hours.

This is why I said in signups I might be a tad inactive. Reading up tho.

[Aristophanes]

Working 7 days a week*

Proofreading is not my strong suit

[Aristophanes]

VOTE: Radical Rat
Not entirely enthused by Kop’s posting but I’ll give him some space for now

VOTE: Radical Rat

I sheep

VOTE: Radical Rat

Shit I guess I'm scummy too

Wtf is this shit!?

Lol why?

[Aristophanes]

Where the fuck do you work Ari???? They’d better be paying you handsomely!

Haha yeah, I get this a lot. I left the Speakeasy where most of this is posted but basically I'm just short on workforce atm. Working on a solution actively!

And I do alright, don't worry
Just doesn't leave much time for fun.

[Aristophanes]

Honestly I'm probably going to be joining a deadline wagon at this point.

Sorry guys

[Aristophanes]

Post restrictions seem likely

What are "post restrictions"?

I'm fine with unwnd's interactions with me after my vote there. Probably town.

I'll vote back at Ari here. Your complaint about me could be made about at least half of the people in the game and I think focusing on me "floating along" right after I go VLA is creating a test that you know I'll probably fail so you can keep pushing a fake scumread on me
VOTE: Ari

@Ari - at least acknowledge me if you're gonna let your vote sit idly on me

The "floating along" criticism was about your posts in general, not your activity. Your v/la had no part in it. That's not how I roll.

Yes, the whole thread was floating at certain points but your body of posts contained almost nothing but. That was why I voted you.

Also I saw a question I forgot to addrsss as to whether my vote on you was OMGUS and no. It wasn't. I don't even remember if you were voting me at the time I made it.

[Aristophanes]

I saw a lot of votes on me. Let me know if I need to claim

[Aristophanes]

Cool, that's how I thought the timeline of events went but I wasn't positive.

Can zomeone elaborate on the problem with 383 following 312? I made a comment on the game feeling stagnated, was asked if I had a better way of generating activity and reads other than vote switching, and followed up with an actual analysis post.

The game felt stagnated, that doesn't mean there was nothing to glean from things. I then did some legwork to push things forward. How is that scummy? Maybe weird. But I'm literally known for being weird. So how is it scummy?

[Aristophanes]

Of course I pagetop without quoting the post I'm responding to. LOL

[Aristophanes]

As I stated in the post, I looked at the 3 slots I saw the most chatter about/suspicion on at the time. It was a rough sampling of the thread and of the three I found DotW to have actual scum potential, where I did jot see that with the other two.

you throw in a town read which maybe you already know is true

this is baseless conjecture btw and I will not engage with it.

I also already said the game was stagnating. That was kind of the point on 312. Also yes, it was filler because I was busy and saw nothing worth commenting on after catching up. Occasional filler posts are not necessarily scummy. Continuously doing so can be.

[Aristophanes]

I just realized my role name is kinda scummy but alas...

I'm the Sorcerer of Death! Muahahahaha

Basically, I have the power to target a dead player and use their active ability on another player. I can target each dead player only once.

It's such a gool role! The AI was on point here

[Aristophanes]

Yeah, it's bad ass imo!

[Aristophanes]

Gamma, RR and Titus jumped on. We need a

lynch

, yes, but thus shouts opportunistic.

I think you mean "lim"

[Aristophanes]

Okay but are you town? Who would you want limmed today if not yourself?

I am town, promise!

I'll have to reread my wagoners and see what I can find there. Definitely scum among them, I'm positive of that much!

[Aristophanes]

@Ari, when you use your ability does it count as the dead slot taking the action, or as you taking the action?

I didn't ask but it states pretty clearly imo that I het to use that ability, meaning I am taking the action.

I'm like really certain that is the case

[Aristophanes]

Also I don't think a Rad Rad Lim is the right call here.

Also I echo the take that a tow lim is better than a no lim as it at least gives us info!

[Aristophanes]

i think ari's role could easily be a scum role. rather keep my vote there than vote RR

As I said, Ari can use RR's ability, and we can better judge him by it. Mechanical route >>>> "I think .. could be" route

i think ari's role could easily be a scum role. rather keep my vote there than vote RR

voting based on role rather than play, especially is this kind of setup, sucks ass.

That's probably too direct but meh.

[Aristophanes]

Ari vote A50

Reading ul. Has A50 suddenly turned scummy?

[Aristophanes]

My limited experience

Ah, yes.
As the Mafia newbie you totally are...

[Aristophanes]

Oh, and I also have a suggestion: Since RR is being cooperative here, I think we should let him self-hammer. That way we don't have a Hated player on D2. I think that's better than having either Dwlee or Meg start the day @ 1 vote already

Opinions?

Oh, I see. Didn't we have a plan for this already.

This is a kinda scummy post tbh.

I meam, I can see selfhammering as town with that stipulation in consideration, but also selfhammering as town is like...really bad in most cases.

I'm milquetoast to the ehtire suggestion

[Aristophanes]

I'm supremely intrigued, but also this sounds genuine.

Honestly, this slot feels very town. RadRat, who is a better lim atm?
What is your A50 and your Gamma read?

[Aristophanes]

Oof, that's almost hammer. El-2? I think I've said everything I had time to address, so Iunno what tk say atp and really its unlikely to change the direction of the game before deadline.

I accept my death. Good luck town!

[Aristophanes]

Glad to see this up and running again!

I'll check it after work.

Gotta say, Molla/mastina made.one helluva good.post.

[Aristophanes]

What's special about D2 that prevents NKA? Nightkills happened, presumably for a reason, that's definitely worth thinking/talking about

How about we don't know vig (if any) from SK (if any) from scum?

Is that not something NKA is useful for figuring out?

Not without more flips. Doing NKA just tips our hands as to who PRs are most likely. It's a tool, but we don't have the data. This is much like VCA.

^^^

Thank you for saying what I was thinking!

[Aristophanes]

Hey!

I didn't follow after replacement (or before very much) but I'm sorry this went sideways. It was really cool in concept and had a lot of potential!

Gypyx, don't beat yourself up too much about this. It happens. And hey, if you ever need a comod or something, I'd be happy to help!

Also, as a small brag, I took a shot at a pool of 5 scum when I replaced out and got 2/4 plus the 3P!

Anyway, thanks for taking my slot Worstie <3
