Espeon is probably my 2nd favorite Eeveelution.
I lied. I actually have no feelings about Tony's IC claim. I was just posting words to see how Mist and others reacted to it.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 6:54 pmWhy did you like it?

Cool, we both relate very strongly to Poison.
Though, sneaky to me can also mean manipulative, which I certainly can be when playing mafia. I remember reading the MBTI thread here and noticing you tested as an INFJ.

well that explanation at least fits with me feeling like he wasn’t being natural at the start, but i’m not sure i buy that he isn’t just backtracking because i called him out. idk i’m just gonna wait and see what he does now that the gig is upM Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:45 pmI'm not sure, what do you think?Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:43 pmoh neat. so what do you think of hyena now saying his push on me was for reactions?M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:40 pmI actually had a similar thought with these; if I had to pick I'd say Hyena looked a bit stilted and Mist seemed solvy.Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 1:05 am ig to illustrate what i mean re: hyena, i feel like when he votede and started giving reads it was very out of nowhere, like “look i’m starting to solve!” and maybe forcing the issue a bit

Poison buddies! I guess you're right, that's what I was thinking too, although of course only if I'm wolfing in mafia. In other tabletop games that are competitive then anything's possible hehe.Hyena wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:48 pmCool, we both relate very strongly to Poison.

When I do things like this, I don't really go in with the goal of obtaining anything specific. Seeing how people react to things helps me get into their head, which helps me guess their motivations in the game. :3 Basically, I'm just trying to see how people tick so that I can later place myself in their shoes and see the game from their perspective.

No. ;-;
That's totally fair, I'm somewhere similar. The actions don't make a ton of sense to me, but I'm trying to remember how Hyena plays when town... and this seems similar enough that it gives me some pause.Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:49 pmwell that explanation at least fits with me feeling like he wasn’t being natural at the start, but i’m not sure i buy that he isn’t just backtracking because i called him out. idk i’m just gonna wait and see what he does now that the gig is upM Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:45 pmI'm not sure, what do you think?Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:43 pmoh neat. so what do you think of hyena now saying his push on me was for reactions?M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:40 pmI actually had a similar thought with these; if I had to pick I'd say Hyena looked a bit stilted and Mist seemed solvy.Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 1:05 am ig to illustrate what i mean re: hyena, i feel like when he votede and started giving reads it was very out of nowhere, like “look i’m starting to solve!” and maybe forcing the issue a bit

Wow, I hadn't realized this, how sad. They should have added a Steel one or something.

There's some sort of joke to be made here but I can't put it together.
Oh, I haven't started generating any reads yet. I'm still, like, figuring out people. I like you and Mist though. Probably you a little more since Mist hasn't really done anything AI yet from my perspective (sorry, Mist ;-;).
I seem to remember you getting to action more quickly before. Why are you taking it slowly here?
I feel like I want to call Cayvie town, too, because I really do think she was posting genuine thoughts, but I don't think I know how she ticks yet, at least not well enough for me to say whether it's alignment indicative or not. I remember liking her because I remember her posting in G2 of MU Champs this year saying she was pro-chaos in games, and in my head, that means she might be capable of having genuine thoughts like that as either alignment.
what do you like about me? and why do you like mist if you say she hasn’t done anything AI yet?
Honestly I might have trouble if the days were much less than 72 due to work and everything else, so I'm glad they are, but I also understand your position and sense of urgency here. In my experience longer phases can make it harder for interactions too potentially.
i’m glad it’s very relaxed since i’m just coming off a very stressful champs run. i kinda want a nice chill game and this is definitely what i was hoping for!M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:59 pm Now that I've caught up, I can say that based on the post count alone I expected more solving and for the game environment to be tenser, but I'm relieved that this game has been really fluffy so far. Apparently all we need to keep games fluffy is to have more LGBT+ people in games, who knew?
Me too, I've been dying to play again but I don't think I could handle a stressful game right now. Transitioning plus virtual semester has made some of my days feel rather turbulent but this week has been pretty good so far.Hally wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 8:02 pmi’m glad it’s very relaxed since i’m just coming off a very stressful champs run. i kinda want a nice chill game and this is definitely what i was hoping for!M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:59 pm Now that I've caught up, I can say that based on the post count alone I expected more solving and for the game environment to be tenser, but I'm relieved that this game has been really fluffy so far.

i’m confused. why do you want to call cayvie town if you don’t think what shes posted is AI? what in this explanation makes you want to say she’s town?Hyena wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 8:01 pmI feel like I want to call Cayvie town, too, because I really do think she was posting genuine thoughts, but I don't think I know how she ticks yet, at least not well enough for me to say whether it's alignment indicative or not.

Also, I'll be back in an hour or so!
i actually don’t mind this one being longer phases! just because it will hopefully be more relaxed. but yea, interactions might be harder because ppl may not be around at the same time. im sure we can manage though!M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 8:02 pmHonestly I might have trouble if the days were much less than 72 due to work and everything else, so I'm glad they are, but I also understand your position and sense of urgency here.

oh rip, yea it must be hard teaching remotely. i actually studied education in college! what do you teach?
im getting confused myself. the cayvie read especially kinda feels like forcing content because he says cayvie is town but then doesn’t actually say anything in the paragraph about why. it’s all just fence sitting
It definitely has been a challenge. Thankfully I taught over the summer (even though 5-week virtual teaching was hellish tbh it gave me a lot of good experience), so between that and the second part of Spring semester, I at least had data and feedback to work off of, and I think I'm doing the best I can given the circumstances. I basically am teaching hybrid now, so I record videos in roughly 30-minute segments or less and I generally post them ahead of time, and then during class I'll hold Q&A-type sessions in Zoom. It seems to be working pretty well, or at least as well as it can given there's no remotely perfect solution to various obstacles.

I teach Accounting, hahaha. Right now it's Accounting Information Systems specifically. Fun, right? Hehe.
That's so cool! I actually briefly considered Education because I really wanted to teach, but then I pivoted to Accounting because I found it intriguing, I was good at it, and I liked math and analyzing but I didn't want to go too theoretical and then later found out accounting was much less math and more a bunch of framework application and I still really liked it. During undergrad I figured I would just teach later when I retired or something? But I felt the itch still, and I considered PhD programs after talking to one of my Master's professors about why he really enjoyed being in academia. Despite the PhD program being a net negative on my mental health it was soooo worth it.
Oh gosh, I couldn't imagine.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 8:12 pm I was talking today with some of my first year grad student friends with classes for whom this is their introduction to teaching. It's weird.
