I interpreted the following post as walking back that initial stance on Johann's 'shoot ourselves' idea:

Why?
What? I loved that post from boo. Now you're misleading people by planting the seed that boo is trying to impose his way of thinking on us. I didn't read this as seed-planting. I read it as boo making a logical point and teasing Mac a little for his his lazy list (which, knowing Mac was only half-serious to begin with). Why are you taking this to such an extreme?nutella wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:46 amoh and then there was this! that post above was really bad but I think this one is when my scumread of boo really solidified. It's a gross misinterpretation of Mac's intentions, and maybe it's just boo being out of touch with Mac's style or general recent site meta, but it just felt like such a bad criticism that I think it was disingenuous and coming from a wolf trying to poke holes in mac's process. Like he's trying to make an argument that this doesn't make mathematical sense but that entirely misses the point. Maybe he's just an overly logical mathematical person but when he tries to impose that way of thinking on other people I find it suspicious.boo wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 7:33 amYou're not great at math, huh?

Maybe I can't defend my read very well based on that. I just have the bad gutsies about him. But also he is compatible with Hyena and flipped his read of me so there is more that substantiated my gut read.

Self-killing makes zero sense @Johann.
We should give the gun to someone with a subset of players they're allowed to choose from to shoot.
If they go outside that, they got shot next.
I think it's better then deciding on a specific player because that keeps mafia from being able to control the conversation easily.
And at 13 players, 10/3 split... Assuming the gun always gets used (no ties, but in most cases that should be easy enough to avoid since we can hammer)... We can only afford like 4 gun uses on a civ? One or two more if we get 1 or 2 of the mafia mixed in with that? Right? It's too early for me to be mathing. But it's a general point.
Then once we have a baddie killed, players who had them in their subset but chose not to shoot them can be looked at more in depth. Plus that's a way to try and force the mafia into bussing if they do get the gun.

What kinda wrestling? In the past year, I've gone from being generally dismissive of the fake sport that is wrestling to being fascinated of the concept from watching Super Eyepatch Wolf videos on it, to watching and being kinda meh about RAW to being incredibly impressed by this year's Wrestlemania to being horrified at Vince McMahon's actions regarding Covid-19 (basically pressuring Reigns to compete despite having a compromised immune system due to surviving leukemia and lobbying republican politicians to declare WWE and other sports "essential businesses"), the rape of Ashley Massaro and all the shit with Saudi Arabia to the point where I don't think I can enjoy watching WWE.

Okay you're being kind of ridiculous. Yes, if I had gotten the gun yesterday I probably would have shot you. But it's not shooty time yet, we still have time to deliberate and like others have said I'm not keen on firmly deciding a target long before the deadline. Reads can change. I'm definitely not set on you as my shooting target, and at almost no point did it look like it was going to be up to me anyway. We've been at a deadlock between Dusk and Hyena for a while and it'll take some major shifts in the last few hours for anyone else to have a shot, and with the atmosphere coming from you/Drago/Hyena against me it's not looking likely that I'll suddenly become the most trusted candidate. But I will have you know that my read of you has not been set in stone, and if I had the ability to shoot right now I would probably choose FG or Hyena instead. So kindly take your "easy mis-shot" narrative elsewhere.boo wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 9:54 amYes, because she's mafia and I'm an easy mis-shot, and she knows it and is going balls to the wall trying to make it happen because if she doesn't I'll be gunning for her until she gets shot and she knows it.Dragomir wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:44 amWait, is this all you got against him?nutella wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:42 amthis is boo's first post and it's basically stating the obvious about how the game works. imo it's fluffboo wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 8:00 am I got my PM and do not care when phases start/end.

I just 10000% cannot relate to the idea of "not believing in townreads." Townreads are how I solve. I usually find it easier to find other players as town early in the game than to identify concrete suspicions, so I use a loosely POE-based approach to sort out my reads. This probably wasn't the case way back in our LP/Piano days, though I hardly remember what my mindset was in games that long ago; this way of thinking is a relatively recent development for me but for long enough that it has become ingrained in how I play. Boo has not played nearly as much in the intervening years as I have and his style is more reflective of a different site meta (as I'm typing this I feel like it sounds condescending/critical of the "old ways" but that's not the intention, not trying to make a value judgment, just stating that there are differences).boo wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 10:45 pmI don't believe in townreading. It's nonsensical BS people make claims about and then think they're right on, because, *gasp*, yea, obviously you're statistically going to be right most of the time, there are more town. Kind of how the game works.Hyena wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 10:39 pmSo, Boo, did your vote for Nutella reflect a townread on her, or did you just give her a vote because you wanted Mac to die? Also, now that you know I'll be shooting Nutella if I get the gun, does that mean you scumread her now? And how does that affect your read on Mac, if at all?
I wanted to vote for her at that point because I didn't especially like other places votes were going and thought she had one, but you'd already moved off her. Plus I thought she'd consider shooting Mac, which is something I would've been okay with (still am, but less relevant now).
She'd make my shortlist of people to shoot if I got the gun, currently, yes. So you wanting to shoot her specifically works for me. It doesn't affect my read on Mac, it's too early to be looking at connecting people as teammates.
I hope my last post clears this up a little but I am sorry if I've misrepresented you -- I was posting very late last night and was very much not eloquent and having trouble putting my thoughts into words so I think I mis-articulated some things, particularly the idea that you were trying to "impose" anything on anyone. I didn't mean it that way at all, just a looser idea that you were trying to apply your way of thinking to someone else's content in a way that didn't mesh with their original intentions. I'm not trying to say that your approach is wrong, just that it was misapplied to Mac's approach and I originally thought that you were nefariously trying to make him look bad out of nothing, but I can see that you may have legitimately had that interpretation. I don't know. I'm undecided on you now.boo wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 12:22 pm I was not saying you would do the shooting. I was saying you were setting up getting me getting shot. You don't need the gun to direct where who gets it will aim it. And it's cleaner for mafia to not get it but have a hand in directing it.
And you know all of that, and it's the second time you've blatantly misrepresented what I have said; the first being when my talking about the mechanics was somehow trying to control what other people are doing.
No, I'm not dropping you as a candidate for shooting. But I also was never in the group of wanting a fixed candidate. I'd want a minimum of three choices that the person who gets the gun is allowed to choose from, with the understanding if they stray outside that they got shot next. This early on expanding it to more like 4 or 5 because of how conflicting the different reads will be though seems best. Either way, you'd be the top name on my short-list. Along with Mac.

I'm familiar. Most (or every?) games I've played here since these shifts in style have started, she was in.
So, I do agree that boo seemed mechanics-focused early on in the game (I made note of it in a post) but I feel like he has since changed that? Like, mechanics talk usually bores the crap out of me, and I don't recall being bored by anything he's posted since the beginning of the game.nutella wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:40 amjust basically all of his posts have felt scummy to me. like sort of in an out-of-touch and mechanics-focused way. and before sloonei says that pointing out mechanics talk as suspicious is more suspicious than mechanics talk itself, for me it was more specifically the nature of what he was talking about.

Can you at least talk us through the thoughts you had? I don't care if you've moved on from them. I just want to know what made you think she was bad earlier, and why you've changed your mind.
It isn't. Saying she wants it is not the same as making an effort to get it. Being resigned to not getting it because 2 people have said she isn't acting like she does want it is a pretty defeatist attitude for someone who wants it.Hyena wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:50 pmThis is a good point actually.nutella wrote: ↑Tue May 12, 2020 2:47 pmWhy are you and Hyena constantly pushing the narrative that I don't want the gun when I have repeatedly debunked it?
