Mini 1898 - Inception Mafia - The Hub (GAME OVER)

[Neko Tail]

Friendly reminder that the game will start in a little over 2 days.

Also note that, while we aren't actively monitoring activity (unless you have been away for a pretty long time already) right now, the 24 hours prods will be strictly enforced once the game has begun.

Of course, you're not really going to understand that reasoning because you haven't read the rules. So...

And why do you assume I "still" haven't done so? Also, why did you believe me when I said I didn't rather than assume I was trolling?

I tend to take things people say at face value unless there's reason to believe otherwise. And if you hadn't read the rules but did in between, I would've expected you to say so. But if you have read the rules by now, great

[Infinity 324]

I just didn't consider the possibility you were reaction testing.

[McMenno]

I think we should dream first and lynch after, because otherwise we won't be able to have a fourth level dream without prs

I just didn't consider the possibility you were reaction testing.

And that's exactly my problem with you now considering you might or might not know I do this often (reaction tests and trolls) at the start of the game.

[Not Chara]

and that is why i didn't comment on Almost not having read the rules. ;>

[Not Chara]

does Infinity know you that well?
i think he did believe you weren't going to read them.

Not sure. Do you think this to be his first time to see me trolling?

Fair, but I don't think 4th level dreaming is that crucial tbh.

I didn't know you did that often, and I don't see how it's alignment indicative for me not to consider that possibility. I understand what you're getting at here, but I don't have a good explanation for you.

[Almost50]

Fair enough, but I wanted my concerns to be registered already.

As for it being AI, it "might" be. You started to sound like you got something to push for a lynch there. Me not reading the rules (even if it was true) is NAI itself, and if you check games with special mechanics you'd see many players actually skip the intro/special mechanics posts altogether until they actually pop up in the game.

But anyway, I usually DO read the opening posts (mod posts) more than once and make sure I understand the game mechanics before I play. Sometimes one thing or another escapes me despite me having read the whole thing more than once, but I myself hate it when someone plays the game and doesn't care to read the opening posts, so those who knew me better knew I was trolling already.

[Leonshade]

Prodge, exam tomorrow.

[Almost50]

My initial reads are nothing to go by, but I give Leon, Chara and gerry mild town leans already. I would have also put Persy there if it wasn't for me being semi-paranoid of him (not your fault, mate. It's just me holding you at the status of "A player to be reckoned and never to be underestimated").

[Infinity 324]

If scum!me thought you were reaction testing, I wouldn't have pushed the lynch since I would've known it would be useless.

The suggestion to lynch you wasn't based on you being scum, but for policy reasons.

[McMenno]

yeah I guess it's pretty usesless to get into fourth level
12 people
8 get into dream layer 1
6 get into dream layer 2
5 get into dream layer 3
4 get into dream layer 4

at that point you can get 2 people into limbo and to communicate with, not even enough to limbo lynch

[Not Chara]

what's everyone's opinion on 7 people going into the first dream (meaning the dreamer has to dream lynch themself), and 5 being left in the main thread? then we can lynch in the main thread and get something useful out of it, while still moving forward with scumhunting in the dream.

[Infinity 324]

If we don't have a consensus lynch at the end of pregame (which it looks like we won't), that sounds like a good idea.

[McMenno]

we can also lynch in the main thread with four people there?

we could also have two first level dreams in that case though hmmmm

You can't lynch in a thread if a dream's been initiated in it, so we literally can't lynch in the main thread while a dream is going.

[Leonshade]

And we shouldn't rush people to the fourth level if we do decide to go there, as if they get there too early, they won't know why the people in the limbo were sent there.

[Not Chara]

oh. yes, you're right Leonshade. i'm annoyed that i forgot that.

[Not Chara]

doing two first-level dreams is an idea.
it does leave a single player in the main thread with nothing to do but spy on both dream threads. but i think situations like that are going to quickly become unavoidable anyway.

[Leonshade]

Our hydra is finally active!!

-TB

Congratz, now post.

Inf's eagerness to lynch doesn't affect my read. There's a good reason to be aggressive in this setup.

Persivul's response to Chara indicates that he already had notes on which posts of Inf's he didn't like, if he's scum his play is solid.

I tend to disagree with the posts gerry calls forced, and that's the case here as well. Still null for now.

But then we're leaving the Kicking power in the hands of a single player, it's potentially a big risk to take.

[Not Chara]

the second dream could only have 3 people instead. that would solve that problem.

[Leonshade]

If we want to lynch someone from the main thread, sure. But then we get the question of whether the person we aim to lynch will agree to self-vote.
