Mini Normal 2313: I am sitting in a room (game over)

[gob]

@Black

Do I go BlackStar or Dannflor?

Who is scummier to you?

Blackstar

[Black]

bro ngl black's avatar makes me uncomfortabl e

It's ok to be attracted to Pokemon

[Dannflor]

That's a believable thought but why would you tell her you're wanting her reaction so you could read her better? If you just completed a scum game with her where a similar situation happened then I feel like that's a huge signal that maybe she should be careful how she responds. I feel like the normal townie thing to do would be to wait for her reaction instead of revealing that you're looking for a read

I probably shouldn’t have but I still thought it wouldn’t impact her reaction that much

I’ve made a lot of rash decisions that I regret this game, like saying I would die over Blackstar

[Black]

That's fair I guess

[gob]

It's NOT fair

@Black

Do I go BlackStar or Dannflor?

Who is scummier to you?

Blackstar

Can you go into this thought more? Why is BlackStar scummier than Dann in your mind?

[Dannflor]

like speaking of

I sincerely apologize for just being all over the place d2 this game

I got way to focused on finding the correct solve and being *correct* that I forwent being a team player

This game doesnt need someone to carry with a 360 noscope solve

Anyway, I’m sorry for being a mess and I’ll try not to make any stupid emotionally fueles decisions anymore

[Black]

I'm at the state fair playing Mafia. I think I'm an addict

[Dannflor]

VOTE: gob

I think this is by far the slot most likely to flip scum in the game right now

[Dannflor]

I don’t think gob is approaching or solving the game in a towny way. A lot of their posts look like they are for show. They keep appealing to town slots like you, Black. I find their tone disingenuous. I just don’t think this is town

I mean, this game is just a succession of emotional rushes punctuated by stretches of downtime between—it’s sort of destined to be addictive that way, I think.

Have fun at the fair, though—please let me know if they have any really large animals (they’re my favorite)!

[Dannflor]

I also especially hated the read on me

“Dann is misguided town or scum if he keeps pushing me”

That doesn’t feel like a real read

It is entirely politically motivated

It happens—again, lots of emotional rushes that overwhelm us. Glad you’re still willing to play with us, though. c:

[Dannflor]

I’ll go BlackStar if that’s preferred by the majority I just personally think gob is slightly more likely to flip red

@Dann,

I figured that was the fallacy you were going to go with. However, my play is still similar to the scum game in terms of conftown. I'm not agreeing that two players you suggested are conftown are indeed clear. That's the exact approach you said scum me would take.

Scum!me and town!me both make thr assertions and start solving what can and cannot be true.

The biggest difference was that we were out of arguments so conftown had to be attacked. I don't feel scum are at that position yet.

However, gob's posting feels that he's scumreading me for the sake of scumreading me. I've already said I'm okay to be eliminated

and should be at some point

and the best gob can do is say I'm too arrogant for not being here since the start?

gob may be whiteknighting or distancing BlackStar but BlackStar is willing to help so BlackStar can live.

[AnimatedWiz]

I can understand going for gob here, since the questioning of Titus seems rather, uh, odd, for lack of a better word? Like, it feels surface-level and based on emotions—maybe not nefarious per se, but not convincing to me at the moment.

I will admit, Titus’s behavior upon coming in reminds me of how Jackson replaced into our last game (where they ended up being scum), but that’s an n of 1 and therefore not amazing evidence to base an argument on. I can’t say I townread Titus, but I do think I would need better reasons than what I have currently to actively go for her. Hopefully we don’t lose her just yet.

[Hu Tao]

I don't think we should claim today, and I'm not liking Hu Tao coming in and hard pushing that without giving any thoughts on the game

Don't care. I'm innocent. Look elsewhere

[Hu Tao]

Right now I'm thinking scum is Merlyn, Dann and someone else

[Merlyn]

Not gonna be posting much till nighttime for me all weekend, just fyi

[Titus]

Fair. I'm withholding information as of now. That's fair to say I'm odd but null. In my first post, I indicated my play would be controversial. I do

not

want to be locktown as locktown elsewhere will help us solve the game faster. I welcome comments on sorting other slots.

[Titus]

Only if bob is town.

[Titus]

And not a traitor.

[Hu Tao]

I can't tell if Titus is paranoid or scum pushing a narrative. It's too close of a line

[AnimatedWiz]

I dunno, honestly—both gob and Titus replaced into very inactive slots and so I think I’m translating the lack of information/read on them into a bad read, which isn’t exactly fair.

Both have played really odd games since replacing in, and that might also be playing a part in pinging my intuition here, but I just can’t seem to follow what the throughlines of their playstyle are—not necessarily due to scummy intentions, but definitely some hidden motives and strategies at play with them both.

They could maybe both be scum? I would doubt it based on my current solve though, but it feels like there’s this weird dance between them right now for me. Maybe they’re like, Neighbors or something?
