Newbie 2135 -- Weird Italian food | OVER

[Roxas]

Thank you for the insight! I appreciate having an experienced player explain things to me (^ ^) I like to learn

[Roxas]

I suppose then the question here would be if eliminating Star would be a useful flip.

[Civil Scum]

It's reasonable in some contexts (e.g. to signal openly that the player you're voting is your biggest scumread). What I specifically took issue with is the claim to be voting for 'pressure' because in my view, if I had a player say "I'm going to vote you but if you reach E-1 I'm going to unvote you" it puts exactly zero pressure on me since it doesn't increase my chances of being limmed one iota.

Well, maybe it does a smidgen if there's a lag between the E-1 vote and someone quickhammers before the player putting pressure on me unvotes. But still. I think if it was genuinely a pressure vote, the unvoting caveat is counterproductive. So that makes me less inclined to believe it's genuinely a pressure vote.

I am actually not sure I like this take, but I will have to think about it a little bit.

Prodding JacksonVirgo.

Replacing agedcheeze.

MODS: May we get a deadline pause while replacements are found?

I'll freeze the deadline once it gets to 48 hours, if there are still unfilled slots by then.

Whoops

Votecount 1-XV (Unchanged)

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to hammer.

flavor

In Bari, it is common to eat small octopi (

Octopus Vulgaris

) raw, as an appetizer. They are tenderized and curled by a process involving repeatingly bashing them violently against the reefs.

Do you think it would be? Also why do you think this is an important question rn. Not saying it isn't, just wanting your thoughts as to why you said this specifically

[Roxas]

I was saying that in the context of inaginality’s post 524, so I should have said it in a way that indicated that e.g. “So I suppose the question

then

would be if eliminating her was a useful flip”.

Anyways, I’m undecided. I want to hear from her regarding her wagon before we move forward and possibly a few other players (if these replacements replace in it will be interesting to have fresh perspectives as well).
There is a part of me that thinks the reveal of her flip could be useful to solve the CS scumread, though. Like I said, I have a difficult time seeing them being scum together, so if she flipped red my suspicions on CS would become diluted.

I just woke up and am typing this on mobile so if it’s completely off-base those are probably the reasons why

[Civil Scum]

Whoops

Hey! Glad you are back and healthy. Looking forward to seeing where you are at on things now.

[JacksonVirgo]

Thank you! I plan to catch back up ASAP

If it was based in context, I don't have it so I'll get back to this after I catch back up. Although, you say you think her flip would resolve CS somewhat. Can you elaborate on that?

[JacksonVirgo]

Roxas, I have an unconventional request. Can I throw you a few questions that are seemingly unrelated to this game?

[JacksonVirgo]

Answer these if you could, appreciated. Detail is preferred, but feel free to answer as you please.

Spoiler:

What would you consider a brief assessment of your own character/personality?

If you're in a team that's facing a difficult problem, how would you approach it?

If you were a character in D&D, what would your stats be (strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma).

What's something you enjoy doing in a group setting?

[JacksonVirgo]

UNVOTE:

I wish to mentally reset, I still plan to explain my reasons for MafiaBat and I still believe in them as wolf

[JacksonVirgo]

unless it’s imaginality who seems to perfectly align with you

I wish I could ask her about this, but curious if she were aligning the two on purpose.

[Roxas]

I’m not a huge fan of answering questions about myself, especially those that ask me to gauge my own personality or capabilities.
What’s your goal with these questions? I’ll still answer them, I’m just a little confused

[JacksonVirgo]

That being said, I'm uncertain about how much you throw your vote around (could be your play style though), and with enticing me into this vote, perhaps a scum play to pull me into it. No strong conclusion about it though.

Cautious of being coerced into a particular action by wolves is townie unless specifically paired with Star

I want to avoid providing why I'm asking before you answer them as I don't want scum!you to know what I'm looking for, but I will make it clear immediately afterwards if you're comfortable doing so.

[JacksonVirgo]

I'm aware it might be a little bit vulnerable and of course you can say no if you're not comfortable for any reason, but this is the only way I can think of to resolve something

[JacksonVirgo]

If you're looking to use your vote to get info from Starmeadows under pressure, telling kit you'll unvote if kit gets put to E-1 doesn't exactly help that cause...

Also stating you're voting for pressure, removes all of the pressure.

[JacksonVirgo]

I'm awake and back with the Starmeadows ISO dive/analysis. I'll save JV and Bat for after we've come to more of a conclusion on Star as to not muddle up the conversation.

The glory of a forum is that you can quote and keep context in a muddled thread. I'd appreciate if you don't hold back for a reason such as this, I need this from you

[JacksonVirgo]

That being said I'll get to your wallpost soon

[JacksonVirgo]

But honestly at the same time, that post by Starmeadows was the strongest scum ping I’ve ever had in the early game, and I honestly cannot see myself voting for anyone else D-1.

I can definitely see why you've reached this but I'm cautious to label that any particular way because (at least for my assumption of what you're reading into) it could very easily be NAI as per her behaviour throughout the game
