do you think that's an AI behavior? Faker is my friend as well.
That's been evident to me!

The main difference I saw is that there's a lot more warmth to your peacemaking here. Is that AI? I'm not ready to try and figure that out. I haven't read carefully through that part of the thread yet, but I'm closing in.
i was trying to see what we had last spoken about, absinthe, and i saw it was here.
i do go for the "peacemaking" as scum in an attempt to replicate my town meta. as town i tend to let my emotions show more and have sometimes gotten more personal than i should have in a game (i'm not including this instance in that, for the record) while as scum i am pretty uncomfortable with doing so. it does still happen as these peacemaking attempts tend to have little to do with game events and more to do with disliking toxicity in games in general. if i call out behavior as scum in a "you need to stop" sense it's always my honest opinion, and only a tactic in that i'd often do the same thing as town.

i'd also rather not go over this part of the game any more than that, so i'd appreciate if you went through other avenues to read/play around me. but i understand it is game content so i won't be mad if you do choose to use it in the game given i've expounded... expanded? on it here.
I'm ok with leaving it be. I'm not sure what more I'd get from further discussion.

earlier in the game I called your tone confident and assertive, which was at the point on day 1 where you appeared to be giving me a really easy townread, when actually you wanted to see my reaction to the read. shortly after that Tammy said you seemed comfortable. And I think you also said something about feeling comfortable and liking the game.

I thought you were more comfortable (heh) with "comfortable" than the terms I'd used. I keep chewing on this but I don't know if it's a marker for either alignment for you. Tammy said you felt town for that, though.
Any particular reason you haven’t cross voted Coral?

i think if we haven't flipped a minigame in two days (deadline is in 5 days) i'm going to vote demonaslot and let Isis do as she wishes.

I think we should flip something soon as well. Fine with Gate and Keep in any order.

Flipppp

Tempest make decrees!

Intuitively it makes sense to me to flip Gate first but I don't know if anyone has specific associative theories they want to test. Gate could surprise me and a surprise is a high value. None of the three Gate flips would surprise me and then I would probably lobby for the same elimination in Keep regardless. I think at least a couple other people might feel that way too
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

math isn't solving and i think he's scum at this point, i still don't know who he thinks scum is (even in the other minigames)

isis has looked a lot worse to me this dayphase

still think absinthe is scum

this is my working theory of the scumteam at this point tbh

i don't think coral/faker makes much sense

to be very fair catboi isn't either

at least i know what catboi is thinking

I haven't been solving much either though! This game has been weird. Part of me wants to just vote ffery and put her out of her misery. If she's town, she's not having the greatest game or time to play, and if she's scum, she's probably just miserable.

I realize that the questions of the night actions can't really be answered until we know, but I do wonder why skitter was moved from the gate if she's town. I don't think there was any indication that I had changed any of my reads, so why not leave her there? I guess it could all be wifom to have me ask this very question, so meh.

It’s not like I haven’t been trying to solve. It’s just conversation towards other games immediately gets shut down or ignored.

Or I have a super long work day. (Approaching a 13 hour snipe posting on a break may disappear)

I don’t like this characterization.

There's always more I could say if delayed forever (for example, seeing how Aisa engages with the game), but I think a flip is more valuable given the time remaining. I'll probably keep talking as long as I'm alive but there's nothing I need to say before the flip, so go ahead whenever you're ready.

I am town, but I don't expect I'll get any further dug into the game than I've managed so far. I've angsted over this way more than I should have. Just really a terrible concatenation of real life and unresolved mafia burnout. I won't beat myself up over it, and I hope you won't either.

What’s your solve for the two games you’re not in?

Kind of a last reads.

You too absinthe?

Don’t think I didn’t notice you not cross voting.
