Mini Normal 2304: Conway's Game Of Life [GAME OVER!]

[Dunnstral]

Espeonage can you go back to 68 as well since that was towards you. How is humaneatingmonkey eager to control the game?

[KittyTacky]

I need help for the auto-VC. http://www.robandkriskris.com/votecounter/faq

I did what it told me to do here (read the FAQ) including the formatting but it's still saying "Neither the player list nor the day URL were found." What am I doing wrong?

You do not have the "living players" stuff set up correctly. You need the area tag and for it to say living instead of alive. And then you need another area tag with a link to the first post of the current day.

I just did that, nothing works. Might just count them manually. Expect a VC by evening.

We use Elimination or Lim @Espeonage.

I like Espeonage so far for being town. I've had that thought before of scum doing the lining up thing.

[sheepsaysmeep]

hu tao where was the lining up

[Doctor Drew]

Monkey's eagerness to control the game feels scum-motivated. And this is only exacerbated by the fact that they have really gone hard on the proverbial low hanging fruit.

The lining up of lynches is also always something I am watchful of. In both cases, if owl is town, monkey is just being negligent if town, and if owl is scum it's a very aggressive theater strat. The common thread being that monkey lining up lynches is poo poo.

Here is where Esp accuses Monkey of lining them up.

[sheepsaysmeep]

oh wait yeah meh I found it, HEM calls espeonage a potential partner to owl

[Espeonage]

What do you mean by eagerness to control the game?

It's like a pace setting thing. Especially like last night's posting. I touched on this with the going aggressive on reads early, especially when so little of the game has gotten to play yet as a potential pitfall, I believe I said that it can lead to TvTs bc we might all be arguing without a single mafia player around.

Add to that how they were posturing around the owl narrative and trying to coax votes out. I see that as trying to take a town leading stance which is a nice spot for experienced scum players.

I feel really good about Owl being town.

There is AT LEAST one scum in Esp/Hu

Bella is the wildcard, feel like they are informed.

[sheepsaysmeep]

can u explain those more? I think theyre weird

[Doctor Drew]

Owl is over eager town.

Esp wants to control the game, but is projecting it onto Monkey.

Hu is too eager to sheep Esp......Thinking actually they cannot be scum together, but high equity one of them is.

Bella was just happy to throw out some town reads(this one is definitely a more snap read, just pinged me in all the wrong places).

[Doctor Drew]

VOTE: Esp

[sheepsaysmeep]

ok I like those a lot actually I think

[humaneatingmonkey]

Maybe I'm not seeing the overeager part because he turned real quiet since and have actively tried to be less aggressive when called out onto it. (the clown joke) Not consistent at all.

wow this is a weird post buddy

[humaneatingmonkey]

Like they didn't really care who they were saying they were town reading.....just as long as they were town.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here. Chickenpox is a very stressful disease to manage.

[sheepsaysmeep]

yeah hope ur situation gets better soon Bellaphant

[Bellaphant]

Yeah, I just muddled up two names from one post, one had quoted the other. She's starting to do better, thanks, but I was posting having very quickly skim read (oh god I'm still tired I legit wrote 'scum read' there).

I might be wrong but don't the two halves of espe's post contradict? Aggression is good but also bad? Leading town is town-y so scum want to do it?

[Bellaphant]

@drew, talk to me about owl and 37 specifically? I really struggle to parse it's tone and I think it's a very ai post, I just can't figure it.

[humaneatingmonkey]

You might be misunderstanding.
Espe's post describes me as a pacesetter, a narrative controller, and a boogeyman mastermind experienced scum trying to influence everyone to agree with my Night Owl observations so early in the game when we're still trying to have fun and be silly. Therefore scum.

[Quiet Owl]

i try and confine mafia to my evenings so it doesn't leak into the rest of my life, and if i see opportunity for joke, i make joke. it's a tragic flaw.

your skepticism is better thought out than everyone handwaving me as town though. "this is too stupid to possibly be mafia" is a bad mindset.

here's the thing: i was uncharacteristically aggressive really early on in the game, but apparently that makes me look towny, instead of fairly obvious alternatives such as whiteknighting, or planned theatre with a scumpartner.

meanwhile monkey's aggression is read by you as scummy. going to need some elaboration here

pretty much this but without the adhom, yes.

To respond to Bella as well. There's nothing wrong with leading the town, but there is something wrong with trying to forcibly establish it. I don't think anyone should be 'leading town' regardless, but monkey's lines of question and aggressive tone choice read to me like someone trying to fight their way to such a position. And that's the bit that's scummy.

[humaneatingmonkey]

without the adhom

adhom reveal

I don't read your aggression is town because it's aggression, I'm reading you as town because the V part of VI.
