VOTE: slaxxx
feelin decent about compath rn actually

What makes you feel good about him?

[Slaxx]

How is the validity of RQS compromised if not answered all right away Ame?

I rarely do RQS, I find that it adds an unnatural noise to the beginning of the game.

I'll explain in full (and provide an answer key) once they've been answered. Explaining how the validity is compromised compromises the validity.

Indulge me?

No

[Slaxx]

The fact you have an answer key to open-ended questions is lol

I’m not humoring you on this

I’ll die on this hill

[Ame]

All that's left is Clidd and Iconium then!

[Ame]

Iconeum. Iconium would be the name of an element.

[Hectic]

trainee "trainee" trainee here because Officer "Officer" Officer is now off duty!

normally i'm just assigned to do paperwork and file cabinets around here, so i'm looking forward to doing some real field work! first, props to the mod for 4 PageTop VCs in a row! secondly, i find Ame intentionally ignoring questions regarding Compath very strange, but i think i can see where she's going with her RQS thing which might be civilian-indicative. we shall see! slaxx has had good takes so far other than his DDL read where it didn't look like to me that DDL was frustrated from that post.
DDL, so was your original vote on compath serious or not?

that's all for now!

[Kanna]

Why is no one questioning my commitment to voting compath

VOTE: slaxxx
feelin decent about compath rn actually

Tbh, I thought your first vote was a joke too. What's your progression wrt to Compath?

[Kanna]

I kinda agree with Ico's (can I call you Ico?) points in #54 but I really liked this post

Thinking about it, if you don't answer the questions in one go, their validity is compromised.

backtracking because you don't wanna answer me huh?

What do you mean? If you answer them as a group, I'll respond to you. Tit for tat. Every time someone's done this little game of avoiding my questions, they've been scum because they fear that I'll actually be able to distinguish them. There's literally no town motive for avoiding my questions, especially if it will help you sort me. But you're more interested in making a case than actually sorting me.

@Ame, what inspired your RQS?

[Kanna]

Also kinda getting bad vibes of slaxx, maybe

@Hectic; but what if some people can't function without their morning/afternoon/night cups of coffee??

[Hectic]

it's trainee "trainee" trainee again!

was "Hectic" referring to Officer "Officer" Officer or i? well, since i'm here anyway; i'll answer! i'm new around here but i think coffee was banned because it was too powerful and used as a means of perceiving others' thoughts, to such an extent where some even regarded it as mind reading/mind control!
is there anyone here you suspect may have coffee on their person? :conspicuously looks around:

also, are the bad vibes from slaxx because of takes that feel forced or the "will die on this hill" insistence regarding not answering the RQS?

[Ame]

VOTE: Clidd

You know what you did

[clidd]

Hum, give me 10 minutes.

[clidd]

Hello! Everyone, please answer these very important questions. I've spent thousands of hours researching questions that are guaranteed to distinguish scum from town. If everyone answers, we should know the scum team within the first page!

1. What is the origin of your username?
2. Why is Compath so townie?
3. When is the last time you had a strawberry?
4. Which of these would you prefer to spend your time doing this weekend (order from most preferred to least): playing mafia, attending a concert, attending a sports game, watching a new episode of your favorite show.
5. On a scale of 0 to 10, how upset would you be if we lynched you today?
6. If Hectic has 5 strawberries and DrDolittle has 2, how many does Luca have?
7. Imagine that you are scum this game: would it be true or false that you are scum?

VOTE: DrDoLittle

for voting a townie

The structure of the questionnaire suggests that its purpose, speculatively, was totally different of the context in which it is being applied. Therefore, the information collected is likely to be converted in a way that is adaptable to the understanding of the behavior that most suits, in this case, the

red

or

green

faction. This type of post also appears to have been apparently premeditated, not specifically for this game, but according to a standard previously stipulated, which would be applied eventually,

regardless of the alignment

. What departs from this premise, however, it is the vote displayed at the end, where it is used one of the questions to try to justify a vote, evidently, outside the random scope. This interaction with the questionnaire itself has a biased nature, considering that the trust placed in the player pointed out, directly, as a townie, had not been explained in a transparent manner, precisely to house some translucent action, which is being carried out for some purpose, weither to distort the thinking we have about Compath (a kind of unconscious

frame

), or provide reactions and interactions to collect data that, later on, would help to formulate possible associations in the game (which would explain the

self-confidence

in post 46). According to the game

'' Mini Normal 2115: Fin ''

,

Ame's

stance, especially when

PR

, is formed through rationally plausible considerations, as well as the adoption of a neutral character, which seeks to question and instigate answers and motivations other players. Something that conflicts with post 30 (

''lockedtown''

), where there is a very early read with little information, totally skipping the establishment of a more elaborate conversation. This diversification, in my view, can say two things:

1°

Adaptability to the peculiarities of the setup / playerlist or

2°

Preparation of safe terrain / mid-game conquest strategy. Particularly, I sympathize with changes, as seen in

Hectic

's posts, but I believe that my individual experiences on the subject are not necessarily criteria that I will consider to make my initial reads on this game, especially when I am in doubt about the chain of actions of a player. So I consider

Ame

to be slightly

suspicious

in this context, until something radically changes my opinion.

Officer "Officer" Officer making one last round.

Please ask Citizen Ame under what authority she has the right to be interrogating Officers of The Law such as myself. However, if she were to come into the station to ask said questions over a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate; I would be happy to oblige.

Citizen Luca is being exceptionally friendly today, and I admire his cooperation with his fellow citizens. Therefore, please place a friendly "vote" on his person. Thank you.

VOTE: Luca

This is not the first time I play with

Hectic

and it probably won't be the last. But, this kind of variation is very radical and difficult to read, considering that he conveys his messages through a narrative, as if he were playing a character. The concern with hiding his most common pattern may be due to the game itself, considering the factor '' fun '', or an attempt to distance himself from a possible analysis of his background. Obviously, as it is an atypical event, I believe that there is a much greater chance of being an additional element, included to increase his immersion during the match, than a strategy to enhance his game as a scum. That said, I consider his position to be more conditioned to

town

alignment than

scum

.

This particular set has never failed to identify scum

You show me at least 1 game where this statement is proven and I'll work with you

Not much to say. The sudden interaction between it and Ame was partly well-intentioned. I felt traces of a possible sketch of a "death tunnel". But, as there was no continuity, the real motivation is inconclusive.

i dont have any questions for you ame.
sitting here twiddling my thumbs until everyone checks in

Playstyle similar to Flippy, null so far.

1. What is the origin of your username?
2. Why is Compath so townie?
3. When is the last time you had a strawberry?
4. Which of these would you prefer to spend your time doing this weekend (order from most preferred to least): playing mafia, attending a concert, attending a sports game, watching a new episode of your favorite show.
5. On a scale of 0 to 10, how upset would you be if we lynched you today?
6. If Hectic has 5 strawberries and DrDolittle has 2, how many does Luca have?
7. Imagine that you are scum this game: would it be true or false that you are scum?

1. It's a character from a video game I like!
2. ?
3. Last week
4. Watching a new episode of your favorite show, playing mafia, attending a concert, attending a sports game
5. a strong 7
6. 18?
7. yes

DOES ANYONE LIKE COFFEE?? THIS IS IMPORTANT

Parallel reaction to one of my scums games:

'' Newbie 1982 ''

, post 10. Same as post 7 from Compath.

wow (´• ‸ •`✿)

[Kanna]

it's trainee "trainee" trainee again!

Sorry Officer/trainer, must've confused you for someone else! Also no I guess...

About slaxx: partially, but some of his other posts also felt weird on first pass. I'll explain it soon. Why did you like them?

[Kanna]

@Ame; will you explain your rqs ~eventually~?

[Ame]

Yes, as soon as I get answers from Clidd and I can knee em :3

[Compath]

VOTE: Compath

For being a strawberry thief.

This is a baseless accusation. If you truly have sufficient evidence, you should take it up with my colleague, Officer "Officer" Officer, or his trainee, trainee "trainee" trainee.*

*may take up to 15 working days for Officer "Officer" Officer, or his trainee, trainee "trainee" trainee to review and respond to your case on why they may be town/scum.

[Compath]

Firstly, Citizen Compath has made an outlandish pun which goes beyond the very reasonable guidelines set out by the Public Wellbeing Foundation. If Compath does not seize such actions, we may be forced to ask them politely to stop.

Will things get

hectic

if I refuse to stop making puns?

[Compath]

Things are going to be

hectic

with you around.

VOTE: Hectic

who are you?

Who am I?

Why, I'm an upstanding citizen of the wonderful town of Strawberryville!

[Ame]

Bye.

Answer my questions please!

Also why is Kanna scum indicative?

[Kanna]

Ok wait, I just noticed something about clidd's wall. Why wasn't slaxx included?

[Compath]

Don’t like #8 and #9 from compath, looks like someone who is trying to look like they want to generate content without actually putting forth effort to generate any.

How does that look like I'm trying to look like I'm putting out content?

In my opinion, participating in RQS doesn't really count as content, and I think basically everyone here will agree with me on that one.
