its not simply that lurky people are scum, but that scum have a hard time faking being genuine, and there is additional cognitive load associated with lying and sustaining a lie. this causes scum to be more likely not to get jokes, to not pick up on cues, etc.In post 450, Worcestershire wrote:Seems to me a characteristic associated more with the playstyle than necessarily with apathy because of pressure scenarios.In post 448, Deimos27 wrote:Having a larger cognitive load is a characteristic of scum that can become exceptionally apparent in less experienced players, whose posting habits end up suffering from brevity and scarcity.In post 445, Worcestershire wrote:I didn't understand the line about cognitive load.
Is there any statistical margin for this statement ?
Why?In post 442, Deimos27 wrote:I'm pretty convinced Battle Mage is town at this point.
It's most likely he graduated from the BM school of scumhunting - and is well qualified to judge both town and scum. No explanation needed methinks...In post 452, superbowl9 wrote:Why?In post 442, Deimos27 wrote:I'm pretty convinced Battle Mage is town at this point.
Actually I believe cognitive load can (and more often does) work the other way - scum become hypersensitive to every small interaction, joke, etc. because they don't want to "slip up". This leads to inactivity from an overthinking or fear that they will put out something scummy into the game.In post 451, votato wrote:its not simply that lurky people are scum, but that scum have a hard time faking being genuine, and there is additional cognitive load associated with lying and sustaining a lie. this causes scum to be more likely not to get jokes, to not pick up on cues, etc.In post 450, Worcestershire wrote:Seems to me a characteristic associated more with the playstyle than necessarily with apathy because of pressure scenarios.In post 448, Deimos27 wrote:Having a larger cognitive load is a characteristic of scum that can become exceptionally apparent in less experienced players, whose posting habits end up suffering from brevity and scarcity.In post 445, Worcestershire wrote:I didn't understand the line about cognitive load.

Or alternatively, he's scum and he knows I'm town.
can't wait till I get my degree! How much was that student loan debt again? 
that's definitely true - it's basically a conservative strategy which reduces top-end opportunity (hider actually going on a miracle run and winning town the game) but reduces bottom-end risk by making sure hider doesnt die night 1 or 2 and give us no info.In post 462, Deimos27 wrote:I don't immediately see any problems with hypoclaiming hider targets. They will become slowly outed by PoE due to not dying after visiting scum or the NK target, but I don't know how long we'd need the hider's identity to remain secret anyway.
I prefer playing town as it's easier.In post 395, Tuxedo Mask wrote:@CJ do you prefer playing town or scum?
@Worcestershire what made that case more appealing over the cases on me, Midari, Pi, or BM?

Got it, but be careful not to ride gutreads too far! They can be your best friend and worst enemyIn post 461, Deimos27 wrote:Battle Mage gives me like 16 tonnes of resonance every time he posts. He's active and engaged, he's scumhunting, he's tonally squeaky clean.
I don't have substantial logical reason for why he is town, but this is one of the stronger gutreads I've had in my mafia career.
lets be honest, everything is a gutread. sometimes we just pretend we have better reasoning.In post 468, superbowl9 wrote:Got it, but be careful not to ride gutreads too far!

This is true, which is why aside from townblocing people for shorter amounts of time, it's good to be able to change your reads. Hence deimos should not ride this very strong townread the rest of the game without examinationIn post 469, votato wrote:lets be honest, everything is a gutread. sometimes we just pretend we have better reasoning.In post 468, superbowl9 wrote:Got it, but be careful not to ride gutreads too far!

So you have no thoughts on the game.In post 436, Worcestershire wrote:Regarding my participation in the game, I have nothing relevant to share and I do not intend to invent anything to create the false impression of activity.
I hate how people can use this as a tell.In post 431, votato wrote:whoops. If im not invested im probably town
How many games have you seen me in from the start in? Most times I've replaced into games where I have to figure out the motivation from the slot before me. It's quite aggravating sometimes just for how people can muck up a slot.In post 422, votato wrote:well my case rests primarily on midari being scum. but if that isnt enough reason for you to vote someone (FoS on you again), midari's tone/style doesnt match town!midari. more to come.
