Large Normal 247 - Day 5

[Gypyx]

Another way i can put it is with the concept of emotional investment, like (and this is litterally a shower thought) Oblivion's interactions with ranger feel like it has some level of distance between it's words, meanwhile, gera really feels like he is letting himself speak? Idk, maybe you can see it like that

[Psyche]

is there a lim that would be a super efficient test of your overall set of reads? like it would either make you feel sure you're right about the entire team or that you have to go back to the drawing board about everything?

[Psyche]

asking bc from here i suspect that like two mislims are potentially lined up, whether i decide to push harder for my pov or relent to yours

[Gypyx]

Yeah idk that's a good question actually

like, from an ego standpoint i kinda wanna say oblivion but really that's not the reasonable part of me that's talking here

can i think about it a bit more? We have time

[Lycanfire]

Why is random nurse fine

to me, their push on ranger on day 2 just doesn't feel like something scum would do. if they are scum, then this is the sort of thing that beats me in a game and i hold my hands up to it.

Hey can you show me what push they made? I'm having trouble finding it.

[Lycanfire]

Yes this is why I've done literally nothing for a day out of the chance random nurse came in and called bullshit on their own.

My votes on Enchant in spirit until they show they're reading the game

VOTE: geraintm

PenguinPower (2): KayJayQueue, Hu Tao
Gypyx (2): geraintm, Naerys

Thomith (1): Snow2697

With 13 players alive, it took 7 votes to secure an execution.

Mod Notes: The combined mod ISO is here.

I looked at the vote, and they had the oldest vote on them. I find it hard to believe if they were scum they wouldn't have found an opportunity at some point to get off the wagon and somewhere safer

[Lycanfire]

If you look at his posts they is doing very little to push Ranger, especially after replacement.

How do you feel about how they interacted with the only flipped scum?

[Random Nurse]

Yes this is why I've done literally nothing for a day out of the chance random nurse came in and called bullshit on their own.

Call bullshit on whom? You?

[Lycanfire]

My vote is also on random nurse in spirit

[Lycanfire]

For someone with so much paranoia you sure don't give a fuck right now

You spent the entire d2 pushing people that weren't Ranger with your vote on her

LOL

[Gypyx]

UNVOTE:

getting cold feet on enchant

[KayJayQueue]

UNVOTE:

Hmm.

[Gypyx]

why the hmm?

[KayJayQueue]

Because I don’t know what I want to do.

You want to sheep Gypix

[Psyche]

all the options have a lot supporting a townread to me
would have to do the equivalent of blocking one of my eyes if i want to push someone forcefully
or figure out which town signals i should be ignoring

[Psyche]

i guess i'll try reading some other games where bussing happened

[KayJayQueue]

Because I don’t know what I want to do.

You want to sheep Gypix

I think I do, yeah. I’m starting to feel like it’s more obvious that you would be trolling than bad. But that paranoia probably doesn’t go away which I know will make me go a little crazy.

I am not bad wtf

[Psyche]

rambling mood i guess...
This sort of paranoia has been a big factor in even my successful games.
Guess the strategy then was to embrace paranoia as part of the process -- as a force that helps you think through all possibilities -- but manage it by preferring consolidation with known town, and eventually put it aside once you're sure you've found the most reasonable decision you can make given the circumstances.
For example, it's been quite easy at points in this game to feel paranoid about Gypyx/Thomith, and the possibility that they planned a vast gambit might in some circumstances nag the town until things are over. But even after indulging some rumination over it all, it's clearly unlikely to ever be a reasonable call to lim one of them.
More positively, we want to look for the least bad lim, where it's possible we're making the wrong call, but we can feel confident we've weighed all possibilities pretty thoroughly.
Insisting on certainty and consistency...might be useful as a source of motivation to keep revisiting our grasp of the game...but probably hinders decisiveness. But I guess that's what deadlines are for.
We want to try consolidating well before deadline this time though.
