why would you need to remember that though or bring up that you

ugh never mind

((part of what makes you really easy to identify btw is that ur lexicon. like personality is one thing but i can literally pick up specific grey-phrases :igmeou: ))

Also, if you're just going to do shit like this, I won't bother with the reread because it'll be nothing but a ginormous waste of time since you're just going to call anything I say scum anyway.

im in dumbfounded silence because both scum are among the first three players in game today (not counting myself with the mod correction thing) and the guaranteed town player in that group is acting exactly like them

i dont know how to tease that apart and i doubt i can convince town to sheep me on such a thin basis

"yeah pick a random name here 2/3 chance its not a ml!"

today? hell no. goodway to lose in fact -- if i can manage that wagon its almost definitely going to be a ml. i need to actually figure out which one of you is def scum and its awfully difficult when town is following the leader

not an easy argument to make. i can predict his posts -- both roughly what is going to get his attention and demand a response, and roughly what that response will be. ill read a post and say "greys gonna show up here soon", see the avatar and say "and its gonna be along the lines of x" and be in the ballpark every time

I remember a bit about day one.

I initially liked cass' posting day one, it looked productive and seemed to vibe well with my own thoughts.

Then she turned around and painted me as scum in a way that seemed extremely disingenuous, to put it kindly. It felt like she had an agenda to push and was invested in the read.

Then her... reaction... to the blowback she received struck me as wounded town.

...why does that make him town though? that doesn't seem like something ai to me
RadiantCowbells wrote:yes I was pretty sure that he was scum.
then wouldn't voting for creature mean that if he were to actually flip scum his partner had to be bussing?

his last few posts were gut-scummy as fuck but he was still widely townread before and i think leveraging creature's defense of mbg could have been a viable strategy (at least what i'd do as scum in that position)

if you knew creature was a doctor (and thus town), who would have been the bussing partner?

not if you forget about it. and i'm glad you addressed that part, then brushed away the other stuff that i said. i mean, mbg was town, perhaps recall. egging on a mislynch that everyone pretty much agreed on after he hail mary'd and then locked the fuck up; i don't know what else coasting scum is.

mm. i think i'm missing the town part.

speaking of bussing i see like 0 reason to do it in this gamestate yet i think every slot has voted for every slot beside mine at some point

which obviously makes me uh

uncomfortable

the prediction comes from a little "mental model" of -grey- that i have.i feed in things like "alignment" "gamestate" "posts" and get a plausible -grey-like response out of it. not dissimilar from how most people guess what other people are thinking, you know?

and i dont get the right responses when i feed "scum" into the alignment box. for one thing -grey- would be a lot more likely to step back and ignore light pushes on his slot if he were scum, i think. more likely to post a vote first and provide backup for it later -- in this game the tendency is for the opposite UNLESS (i.e. with mbg) the reasoning is so ridiculously strong that arguing it is arguably antitown

when i feed town into the alignment box my little mental -grey- acts extremely similar to the real deal

I don't have a good pick for the other scum because I was like 100% sure MBG was scum.

It's you or Cass and you said that Grey doesn't bus so.
