Large Normal 247 - Day 4

[geraintm]

Sorry for not popping in sooner.
Will look at yesterday wagons at some point to give myself a handle on today

This game feels incredibly stagnant for such a large player pool. Is this normal? It’s my first large game so I’m asking with earnest. It’s making it difficult for me to develop any substantial reads and it’s also making it harder to feel fully invested.

No - I'm surprised we ended D1 with less than 2000 posts tbh.

Oblivion and Gypyx need prods...don't think they've posted this day phase.

[Thomith]

Let's give us something to talk about.

There is a neighbourhood in this game that consists of:
Myself (Thomith)
Gypyx
Snow
Titus
Dave

[Gypyx]

So, hello, we have a big announcement to kind of try to shake things up (seems like everyone is struggling to do things)

we have a 5 players neighborhood consisting of Gypyx / Thomith / Snow / Davesaz / Titus

my initial flashwagon on snow came from him making a pretty lackluster entry in the hood and trying to create pressure on that

VOTE: dave

[Gypyx]

titus was opposed to revealing this hood but she hasn't updated us for a while and so we (me / thomith / snow kinda) decided to shake things up

[PenguinPower]

yeah, one of you five is scum.

[KayJayQueue]

Wow all I had to do was mildly complain and bam!


Damn, I really wish I had a million dollars…
(just checking my luck here)

hello penguin

The penguin is funny but i'm a bit afraid the penguin is scum

dave / snow is where i think i wanna look for scum in our hood if there is any (probably)

[PenguinPower]

at least - i was an asshat once and put two scum in a neighborhood so that's a possibility as well.

for your next trick, ask scum to out themselves

[Thomith]

Said this in the hood so I'll say this here too - in a 15p, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Traitor and a Mafia member in the hood - at the very least there was last time there was a hood in a 15p.

I have no experience with neighborhoods, so I might look for a little guidance on how to approach this. Are we just playing with the understanding that at least 1 person in that group is bad?

We are playing with the

assumption

that at least 1 person in the neighbourhood is bad. There's always a chance (even though imo it's pretty small) that there is 0.

If you’re a baddie, you should respond to this post with an easily decipherable newbie-friendly code. TIA

yeah - typically established with neighborhoods of multiple people (rather than neighborizer who adds people to neighborhoods) routinely have scum in them. i did an analysis of all normal games a few years back showing like >80%, but i don't really want to do that again.

[Oblivion]

It is around, just having a difficult time investing in this game. Perhaps it just... doesn't find it as fun as the last one it played?

That said, it is satisfied that it was right about the difference in NAS, even if it wasn't bold enough to stand up to stop it. That said, it feels NAS' death would have happened at some point regardless so it's better to do it now when info is gained than when it becomes a foregone conclusion and nothing else is learned.

Still, it would be nice if it could motivate itself to care a little more. It isn't quite sure what the difference between last game and this one is. Last game it felt like there was an energy that kept it wanting to engage, despite the difficulty of being scum. This game... it feels like there's just nothing it wants to really do, and moreover it feels kind of like there's a barrier between it and the game? It doesn't know.

[Gypyx]

tbh i'm even thinking there could be 3 scum in the hood? like i'm getting strong town vibes from thomith but the other 3 not so much, there's also something a bit off about how they don't seem too interested in sorting themselves

I Assume you don't Mean to actually Solicit sCum into oUting theMselves.

To add to this - Me/Gypyx/to an extent Snow wanted to reveal this yesterday when the game started getting a little stale, but opted not to, on the off chance somebody TMI'd the hood, per Titus' suggestion.

We didn't reveal immediately in case there was a PT Cop that we could potentially verify the existence of.

Hey everyone…you’re never going to believe this.
