Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
Town tutuu D0: is excited to play the game, tells all the people she likes to play with how much she wants to play with them, pre-emptively townreads people based on town and/or enthusiasm so she can start forming a towncore of people she trusts.
Scum tutuu D0: I'm TOWN everyone. I'm innocent TOWN. Have I mentioned I'm TOWN?

Kung Fu Hustle is pretty great. It's like three times as funny if you understand Cantonese though, since the dialogue is way funnier unsubtitled.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
But I associate pleasant feelings with catching scum. And being scum. So when I see you, I have pleasant feelings, and the first thing I think is "scum".
Also my scumread on you was serious, it wasn't a reaction test. You actually are a wolf.

"Tunnel" is an interesting choice of words, given that I've made one post calling tutuu scum, one post explaining the read, and then another post explaining that the read is serious.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
Now to decide if "esoteric reasoning" is short for "I want to defend my scum buddy" or "I know tutuu is town because I have TMI". It's probably the latter and calling us V/V is just a pocket attempt.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
1) Calling someone's read a tunnel without explaining your reasoning is a lazy way of discrediting it.iaafr wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 10:08 pmmy word choice is a bit imprecise sometimes and i use connotations that dont quite work
but i got a vibe of "tunnel" from my perceived strength of the scumread there. didn't mean to imply it was persisting a long time. how's bad word choice ai though?
my rhythms too even, the "nerdlean" post was a bit scummy in itself (kinda forced joke feel adjacent to actual read but not actual read), responding to too many people and therefore exuding nervous energy
2) The second bit, about your rhythms, sounds like you have TMI on yourself. Nobody thought it was scummy, but you're scum so you feel guilty/paranoid about all your posts and want to pre-emptively head off attacks.

It's the same argument I used with iaafr's read on tutuu/me as V/V, actually.Benson wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 10:16 pm I don't know if wanting to disagree and saying he's been towny feels natural. Like what was even towny anyways? Idk, that's obviously not a compelling argument.
But it's always easier for wolves to just pop-in to express disagreement in places where they *know* they are correct. You know?
I'm laying out the two main possibilities I see. I expect iaafr will give me more information about which, if either, is correct as the game goes by. If he tries to intentionally conceal his relationship to you or muddy the waters, that tells me something, too.tutuu wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 10:17 pm are u saying this to get the ball rolling or is this genuine town alison? cuz i know that u like being serious or at least u come off often like that, and admittedly i dont know u that well yet but im puzzled as to why u just "reveal ur cards" like that? like, if u wanted to do what u said in this post, why wouldnt u question iaafr so u can then decide based off of his answer? why are u telling him pre-emptively what are u planning to do?

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
I actually think iaafr thinking his own play is scummy, and scrutinizing it, and half-jokingly(?) calling it scummy is pretty sketchy. On average, wolves tend to be far more aware of how scummy their posts look (with some exceptions), and they often see those posts as scummier than average because they're biased knowing their own alignment. Scumreading his own play is I think a pre-emptive thing to get ahead of people who might want to call those posts out and make them feel silly for doing so.

If we're reading alignment based on avatars then a Your Name avatar has to be lock town right? Like that movie is on par with Madoka Magica.
Anyway even if the "call your own play scummy" thing is NAI for him I think the rest of my points are still valid.

idk i guess i just struggle to see anything iaafr's really done so far as being anything other than "iaafr being iaafr"

Anyway a couple of people have chimed in to say that everything I find suspicious is just iaafr's meta but I don't have any leads other than tutuu/iaafr at the moment so I'm happy to just pursue it and see how it goes. If I'm wrong I have my faith in my ability to re-evaluate.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
tutuu is town for that massive wall of text with incredibly convoluted reasoning about my alignment. Wolves don't put their mind so deep into the weeds for someone whose alignment they already know.
I'm gut reading proto town.
MR and tim have some W/W equity for a very "theater"-like interaction.
Benson seems like he's lonely and trying to reach out to people, which is town. Also Benson, my experience with proto has led me to feel absolutely no discomfort at his "self-conscious meta talk". I get why you feel suspicious about it - I had similar thoughts on iaafr. I'm just saying, from my own meta experience it's not something I'm concerned about.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 0]
This really rubs me the wrong way. It feels like scum sitting back and egging on townies as they kill each other. I also dislike the framing of it as "productive" (as opposed to "likely to catch scum"). It's similar to call something an info exe - if it goes south, you can just claim it was for information and wash your hands of the blame.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
nanook, timsup and WerewolfHunter are town. nook is doing exactly what he always does as town and his reads are good/in line from what I expect from town nook. timsup just has a bunch of good takes. I don't know how to verbalize my WerewolfHunter read. Call it a tone or gut read, but I'm confident in it.
ColonialBob is aggressively null, which means he's scum. It's like the issue I had with Scirrus' catch up, but stronger. It's like he's trying to say only unobjectionable things and he hedges a lot too.
I hate post caps, for the record. They cramp my style.

Also I feel not as engaged in this game as I'd like. The posting format is really throwing off my preferred way of formatting my interactions. I think it's throwing off other people, too - WH, tutuu and Benson are all people who feel like they're struggling a bit with connecting with others. There's a lot of "isolated" posts in this game that don't fit into the thread flow and I suspect this is because people have to conserve posts for big cases/catchups and can't realtime as much which sucks. The people who feel most comfortable here (eg. iaafr) are the people who've been acting like the post cap doesn't exist.

If he were wolfing he wouldn't be just casual dropping occasional posts he'd be posting more in line with the amount that he is reading.

Also nanook, agreeing with someone's reads doesn't mean you have to townread them. Like you can think it's TMI. Or you can agree with the reads but think the way they got there is made up.

Whatever your alignment, I empathize with this. I wrote about having the same feeling myself, being stifled by the post cap.

(also part of the reason i may not be as sparkly town is because my town game relies on spewing thoughts constantly, which i can’t do with a post cap unfortunately. like normally i’d catchup live as much as possible but i don’t wanna get capped. nothing i can do about this though, but it has so far been a problem for me in light games so i’m just putting it out there)

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
This is NAI for nanook, in my experience with him. I think nanook is town here. His reads are both okay and in line with the sort of thing I expect him to make. Confident early game reads based on tone or stuff that's similar to tone like the Captain thing, aggressively trying to find lock town and form a towncore, not caring too much if he's scumread except to "how dare you" people who scumread him. It's fakeable as scum, but if someone has good reads and are also acting exactly like they do as town, I am inclined to townread them.Timsup2nothin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 11:42 pm @Allison

Hally you've called a couple of things "not W/W" and:
1) Like you've pointed out it's a little too early in the game to be doing associatives like that.
2) I don't actually understand why they aren't W/W. Like it isn't obvious to me why the interactions you point out aren't within the scum range of the players involved to fake.
Can you please elaborate a bit more on those thoughts?
linki: Yes, that dynamic you're alluding to between MR, nanook and nutella. What is it about it that makes you think they can't be associated together? I don't get the sense that the scum ranges of any of those three players are particularly narrow, so it has to be something specific and strong that makes you think this.

To be honest I don't think anything Hally has done has redeemed the slot for me and I'm slightly confused why people find her so town. Which of her posts did you like?Timsup2nothin wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:18 amI was actually kinda annoyed at being on the name wagon with Radishes because there was a lot I didn't like about his casing and his overall play this game...but...Hally wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:05 amthis post kinda confusing me. you don’t like radishes wallcase on sc and don’t trust him but you’re sheeping him anyway? or...? idgiTimsup2nothin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 2:24 pm A'ight, I'm jumping ship here.
Don't like the great wall of Radishes mostly because it is a day one wall case. Also, can't say I have great confidence in Radishes intentions generally. In other words, Radishes you tend your end of this boat and I'll tend mine.
[VOTE: Scirrus] aubergine
I do lean @Alison pretty strong town, and her sense on Scirrus seemed to support my own pretty well.
Alison and I had previously come to a kind of agreement against Scirrus of our own and that was my preferred landing spot when the Nutella wagon blew out from under me (kinda went through the same process you did, it just took longer because it was real time happening. Now I have the classic problem...you are doing great work and seem towny, plus being a potentially very valuable townie that might well crack the game...but Scirrus really butchered that slot IMO.
I've actually been looking for a place to move my vote and just pass your slot for the day, but haven't reached a conclusion yet on where to go.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
These associatives require a lot of assumptions and I'm mostly inclined to think you made them up honestly. Like you have a set of assumptions about how mafia would play, like never bus D1, and I'm left with more questions than answers. Why is someone who townreads someone who doesn't deserve it wolves with them, and not wolf whiteknighting/TMI-ing a town, or just town with a weird read? Why can't wolves use D1 to distance knowing full well that their interactions will be referred to later down the road?Hally wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 3:07 amidk sometimes i do associatives it’s not really new for meAlison wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:55 am Hally you've called a couple of things "not W/W" and:
1) Like you've pointed out it's a little too early in the game to be doing associatives like that.
2) I don't actually understand why they aren't W/W. Like it isn't obvious to me why the interactions you point out aren't within the scum range of the players involved to fake.
Can you please elaborate a bit more on those thoughts?
linki: Yes, that dynamic you're alluding to between MR, nanook and nutella. What is it about it that makes you think they can't be associated together? I don't get the sense that the scum ranges of any of those three players are particularly narrow, so it has to be something specific and strong that makes you think this.
double linki: Also what is with you being so quick to do associative stuff?
so like, i think radish/nanook are possible w/w because nanook kinda sandwiched radishes into his tr’s early even though i don’t think radishes really belongs there. wolves tend to like to lump teammates in with villagers
nanook/nut not aligned because i dont see any reason why nut would push on nanook here as w/w. could she? like yea it’s not out of her wolf range but like... why would she when nanook is not under threat
radishes/nut not aligned because i don’t think w!radishes would defend w!nut like that when she was getting wagoned. it had an air of tmi to it, like he knew nut was a villager and wanted to keep his hands clean of anything having to do with the push/maybe even pocket nut
that’s the associatives i have in that group of three. obviously not set in stone but yea
It's not even necessarily a question of "Hally is wrong", it's like you're concocting a narrative of the spot and trying to push it on us in lieu of doing actual investigative work, which is why I was kinda skeeved out by your random associative analysis that didn't seem to lead anywhere and felt extremely premature.
nutella: Just when you're trending up on my radar, I'm trending down on yours. :P

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
I have a problem with it because the logic doesn't make sense to me. The reasoning is unsound, the fact that you're making this reasoning at all seems questionable given that none of these players have flipped, and I'm really not sure how this helps you solve. I'm not seeing the shining town Hally at all.
linki: What game did I misread you in? Also don't sheep me because I'm good at reading Hally, sheep me because my logic makes sense.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
Except they didn't town it up. I'm still scumreading them, so is Benson, and I have seen nothing in their behavior that makes me want to wash away everything Scirrus did.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
For some reason this game just make lose all motivation to play so I'm going to abandon the usual theatrics and quotes and just give it to you as simple as I can.
Scirrus was scummy. Hally replaced Scirrus. Hally was anemic at best and had really disagreeable thought processes at worst. I see no reason to shift that slot away from the D1 execute. I don't like how people were quick to give Hally a D1 pass because I don't think they have earned it. I actively suspect Hally and I am willing to push that slot past the finish line and take responsibility if it flips green ([mention]Timsup2nothin[/mention]). You can give me hell for it Day 2 if I am wrong.
[mention]Benson[/mention], please join me on this push. [mention]Dyslexicon[/mention], I am not sure how serious you are with the Hally lock scum comment, but if you really do think Hally is scum after your catchup, I encourage you to join me. [mention]tutuu[/mention], please sheep my read this once.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
Their slot's alignment doesn't change just because they subbed out. And frankly, if Hally had been here from the start, I would still have them in my POE.WerewolfHunter wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 4:24 pm 41

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
I don't think I'm confbiasing. I mean, the nature of confbias means you don't know if you're confbiased, but I think I'm okay at taking a step back and re-evaluating stuff and not getting too caught up in a tunnel. I re-evaluated on Michelle in Lion King, and I re-evaluated the exact same read on you that you say I got wrong in Jack Attack. I don't scumread you just because I disagree with your thoughts, I scumread you because of what your thoughts are. I'm sorry you came out of a bad mafia experience but that is NAI.

Re: Philosophers' Mafia [DAY 1]
I've explained this to you. I didn't like the way you were looking at associatives and trying to draw connections between players based on assumptions. I feel this is wrong, yes, but it's more than wrong - it's behavior that looks like scumhunting without actually being scumhunting. You are pulling out random interactions and saying "this can't be W/W" without even establishing that any of them is a wolf in the first place. It isn't helpful to figuring out who we should execute today or who we should have in the towncore. It's just spinning your wheels and is theatrics meant to make people impressed by how much you're reading into the thread or figuring out the game, without actually putting forward something that can help town.Hally wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 5:44 pmwhat’s so bad about my thoughts? like actually. whats wolfy about my content so far?Alison wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 5:39 pm I don't think I'm confbiasing.
