My bad, it wasn't just that furtiveglance seems "agreeable", it was " more agreeable THAN USUAL", suggesting furtiveglance is behaving abnormally to see if the idea catches on. When it doesn't, you abandon it. Lycanfire tried the exact same thing wrt furtiveglance.

I think the chances of this flipping scum are extremely high and there is only one other slot who I FoS to a similar degree. This should not only be a leading wagon, I think this should eventually be the D1 lim as well. I'm going to get some rest and elaborate on the rest of my reads later. Don't trust Cephrir lmao.

As for speedwagons it's probably more townie than not in RVS. We're talking about it. That's just in the purest sense. I think it's going far to townread StD from it considering that's all his content.

The cruel irony being that this actually is a scum tell, Cephrir:

What is that?
scums are time travelers because they know the solution to the mystery so they are more likely to play in the future rather than the present and often have a plan for how they hope or think things will play out or potentially play out whereas towns are just weighing very most likely mafia right now

like you'll often see this present itself with players saying 'i am going to do this' or 'hold me to this' because they have an expectation of themselves

which isn't an only comes from mafia thing but more often than random would indicate in my experience

if i were better at construct thought process and less messy maybe i'd be able to apply / know when to apply when not to apply

but like i said, maybe not super applicable here anyway especially as the survey was something you planned on doing before the game started and! probably better/more accurate to evaluate the second half of day one forward rather than trying to weigh it preemptively
Subject: Mini Normal 2279: VGSR - GAME OVER
Galaxy brains switch to Cephrir for doing this instead of all the--less abstract--prior tells :lol:

I'm not sure why I addressed to Cephrir. Probably because I wasn't sure if anyone would understand it anyway.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Frogsterking's scumhunting. The tactics is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the nuance will go over a typical playerr's head. There's also Frog's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from every other mafia game ever played on any website, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these reads, to realize that they're not just accurate- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Frogsterking's posts truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the subtle scumhunting in Frogsterking's existencial catchphrase "I expect this level of engagement is only temporary and Cephrir will start lurking though as soon as their slot is better positioned.," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Frogsterking's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Frogsterking tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

I think most who actually read that post with a sorting mindset would have easily assumed it was written by Town.
