Newbie 1992 | Game Over

[Menalque]

sorry, I just mean that even tho I'm excited to be playing with you both I don't want the newbies to feel really out of place or demotivated because we spend like 10 pages talking past games and meta reads

[Datisi]

gucci gucci sounds good

have you read stuff
do you have reads
have you solved the game yet

[Menalque]

datisi you actually are lowkey scummy

[Menalque]

@skitt thoughts on maduisha?

[skitter30]

very faintly gut-town but not a solid read yet

[Datisi]

Go on

[skitter30]

i'm not sure what else you expect me to say?
it's p7, i feel like you're expecting much deeper thoughts than i actually have, you've done this like three times now ...

[Datisi]

sorry that was @mena calling me lowkey scummy

[Menalque]

what is this game even

[Menalque]

@dats it's just a tone thing, we'll see if it plays out

sorry if you're ill, that might explain it

you seem a little bit diminished

[Menalque]

VOTE: marashu

[Datisi]

ye i'm currently playing the "cold or corona" game

also i really haven't gotten into this game yet so

[skitter30]

i kinda agree with this, i feel like he's asking a lot of questions but not like doing anything with them
like he's using them to look busy but they're not actually going anywhere

marashu is a decent vote too

[Menalque]

f you highlight a part of the text and *then* press the quote button, you will quote just the highlighted part.

how did nobody tell me this before now

[Menalque]

skitt would you say you've done anything AI yet?

[Menalque]

why do you agree with the marashu vote?

[Datisi]

you are not wrong fwiw, they are going absolutely nowhere right now

[skitter30]

skitt would you say you've done anything AI yet?

probably not
i expect people will be paranoid, etc
and at the same time they inform me they expect me to solve the game and be bop'd
it's an interesting dynamic

why do you agree with the marashu vote?

because their early questioning regarding the mason thing was weird and i was thinking of voting them

[Maduisha]

like it's not a pressure vote because they're literally not aware that you made it if you they are disengaged enough from the forum that the game didn't start

this was meant to say: they're disengaged enough from the forum that they didn't even know the game started

what do you think of generalwu and clidd rn?

do you have any townreads you'd like to share?

or even any gut thoughts that's tickling the back of your brain that you can't explain or substantiate? those are super helpful to share at this stage of the game too to get things moving

I think I already said what I think of GW already. He seems slightly different from the scum!GW that I experienced, which is the only iteration of his that I've seen. I think he's being proactive in the way he speaks, and I like that he's asking questions, so I have a townlean on him.

Clidd I have no idea how to read. He seems the Clidd I saw in last game too, although his entrance is vastly different. But back then he was being prodded and decided to make a big meta reading post as his entrance, this time he was here on time, so I imagine that's the reason of the change. Or maybe he just doesn't feel like pouring as much effort, I don't know. I think he said he spent hours making that post. But enough talking about games that aren't this one. So far, I think Clidd's most memorable actions as of yet are that he confused your comment for a threat, which I don't think it's an alignment indicative comment. I think he just misunderstood the tone. His second most interesting post might be this one:

The time between my post 69 and General Wu's(70) reaction is 2 minutes.

Considering that she would have replied in 30 seconds, if she was already on the page when the post was sent (the distance would be lesser), I suppose she saw the post after 1 minute and a few seconds.

The answer was intuitive and it took something about 1 minute for her to assimilate what was written.

However, posts 81 and 82 showed that she had not absorbed the content properly, considering she was without an accompanying explanation.

So I am inclined to think that the process of reading, answering, analyzing the explanation and then rephrasing her opinion are characteristic of a

town mentality

.

Conclusion:

GeneralWu has my

TL

.

Here he is analyzing GW's messages to get an idea of the authenticity of thought of his response. I think Clidd is trying to slowly build a town group of people he trusts after he tests us in different ways. I would say I have a town lean on him, but I also imagine this is a valid strategy for mafia to try and build the town group themselves, so I'm unsure.

you are not wrong fwiw, they are going absolutely nowhere right now

so why are you asking them?

[skitter30]

@skitt thoughts on maduisha?

actually i will upgrade this to a townlean

[Datisi]

you are not wrong fwiw, they are going absolutely nowhere right now

so why are you asking them?

I am hoping that an answer to at least one of them would strike me with ~inspiration~
so far it hasn't happened yet
everyone feels more or less shades of ~kinda town i guess~

one thing i was interested in hearing about *didn't* get mentioned but the whole thing gets kinda ruined if i explicitly prod about it so

[Menalque]

i'm just curious why you're more interested in hearing why she townleans me than yourself.

ok so
asking skitter about why she's townleaning you potentially helps me figure out 2 things based on her response: (1) skitter's alignment and (2) your alignment
asking her on why she's townleaning me helps me figure out only (1) skitter's alignment (because i already know my own)

however

i am also aware of the fact that

our third SE has an at least decent read on skitter

which is probably better than mine (provided he's town and i really hope he is)

so i will kind of let him read skitter probably

now you might be saying
"but datisi that is bad form you need to read all the slots yourself and sheeping is bad and what if you read the other SE wrong and blah blah blah"

to which my reply is
it is past 2 am
i am tired
i am ill
leav me alone
