You have 2124 post I draw the noobie line at 2000.

where do you draw the line at irl maturity

I use the gillick competency test.

(I’m a lawyer in child protection and gillick competency is how we assess whether a child is mature enough to make their own decisions so this is technically accurate.)

Or, if you want a more serious answer, I definitely don’t draw that line based on age, but if I did it would have to be somewhere older than me.

do you think having studied arguments and rhetoric for your entire adult life has made you better at mafia? I noticed you just had a sick win in game 1 as mafia

I think I started pretty good and if anything might have gotten worse lol.

But I don’t think it’s my arguments and rhetoric that have made me good at mafia. I think it’s my ability to understand how people think. I can often see the motivations behind a post. Reads are more important arguments. I won that game because I had good reads on who I needed to kill and who would vote with me at lylo.

This?

I didn’t view this that way, but I guess it could be read that way. Not by me, lol, but by some. I view this more as drawing you out, maybe a bit of buddying, but it’s a fine line.

Yes this and what came before it. I don’t see much difference between this and the rest of Lucy, tbh. Her interactions with Dennis and Jack as mafia behaviour would also work more for me as buddying than hyperfocus. I think she’s been interacting with what’s in front of her.

What are your reads, @lucy?

no other content lol, I reckon they will all have good reads on one another by virtue of birth, and if I poke enough I can just tell if there's a mafia between the 3, and if there is then I start the actual fun. until then it's literally just random voting stage, is it not?

But there are 13 other people playing, not just Kate and her kids. Are you concentrating on them only?

I think he's been starting a lot of discussion, and asking a lot of questions, but I don't know if that's just how he plays or if it means something. I'm trying to keep that in mind.

This answer uses words but says nothing.

Who do you suspect currently in this game, Dennis?

Golden, a little bit. I feel like he's been a bit too go with the flow, if that makes sense. Starting a train for a weak reason, and not defending himself is a little weird but it could be the way he plays.

I want to know why you're on my case so much. You've asked me questions at almost every opportunity you get, but said you don't wanna kill a new player D1. So, why is it that you're asking me so many questions?

Just because I’m not looking to vote you today doesn’t mean I’m going to ignore you.

Would you prefer a back rub?

If you were mafia partners with one of your family, would you sacrifice each other, and if so, who would willingly take the bullet first?

Jack wouldn't be able to think of a way to sacrifice us, Kate would do it without either of us noticing, and I would sacrifice Jack but not Kate; I would need her help. I would also totally be willing to take the fall for victory.

Got it.

You’re giving me Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2 vibes here. Giving the impression that you are an innocent and lost lamb but in reality just might be a devious killer in disguise.

You might be. Or you might not be. I’m just pocketing that thought for now.

Thanks for answering!

I didn't make them. Dennis wanted to play, we had to talk jack into it. Many years ago my other son Andrew used to play and liked writing games. I think they could both be great at this game and it's a lot better than playing arc for 9000 hours.

Kate wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 3:29 pm Also, just so you two know, and I don't want to mention the game in the house.. there is no editing posts. If you make a mistake, you have to use another post to explain that.

I am not one of these people, but I do have an opinion.

I think if Kate were on a team with one of her sons, she would try to help him in thread via the chat room, but if he got called out, she would bus him. I don't see her making cases on either of them, regardless of her alignment. But I could be wrong there. Especially if Kate is civ. She might know best the difference between an awkward nub mistake, and a "Shit, I shouldn't have said that", baddie slip.

I thought the "ha ha" circling between Kate and Dennis on Zero was what I would expect and was NAI for me. I have no idea what Jack or Dennis would do.

Having read back, the thing that sticks out most for me is walking into a thread where someone has two votes; one for a reasonable reason (that I am not sure I see as AI, but I don't know Seanzie; perhaps him saying what he did is a baddie thing), and one because "Imma sheep Scotty".

So I'm dropping a first vote on Golden. That seems a flippant reason to start a train. Not a fan. [VOTE: Golden] aubergine

This is pretty much my pattern on work days, a flurry when I get up (sorry for back to back posts, but it's gonna happen daily) then I may or may not be around depending on how work goes until 6ish eastern.

Ugh... I'm probably just going to pick a random person and tunnel them, then repeat after their flip all game. I'll let you all know once I decide who I'm going to start with.

This feels off

Hmmm... putting suspicion on someone else? Very slick...

But you also make a fair point.

Do you think Seanzie is suspicious for this post? Or are you just nodding along to make sure your neck still functions?
