The Trials - ENDGAME

[Tayl0r Swift]

[Tayl0r Swift]

am i a Donkey to you

you are coming off as a bit of an ass. thats an interesting question though. hmmm....

[Princess Leia]

That doesn't explain why he misspelled it in the first place. why is scum more likely to go back and correct it?

The misspelling makes it towny because it's careless and he's got real passion behind a vote he believes in.

Why are there 4ms and 4 dots in the hm here? How much were you trying to portray to us that you were thinking?

there were only 3 m's. it took more than 4 milliseconds to write that post, but im not sure if any thought went into it.

[Princess Leia]

Gypyx, you make me feel uneasy. The way you're talking makes me feel like you're laughing behind my back while keeping up a straight face while speaking to me. It's really unnerving.

Well, i'm not being serious in case you haven't noticed

Being flippant isn't a good look for you, Gypyx. I'm trying to seriously learn your alignment and you're just jokingly dismissing my attempts :(

I'll try again:
Do you think pob long is the type of player to have breakfast in the morning before posting, or would he check his phone and post in bed as soon as he woke up?

Interesting... how many milliseconds would you say is the upper bound?

[Tayl0r Swift]

im not sure im comfortable with the idea of pob sitting in bed thinking about me

definitely fewer than 30k milliseconds of typing.

[Princess Leia]

30 seconds is quite a long time for you to type out 8 characters. Do you normally agonise about your posts as scum?

oh just for those 8 characters? i thought you meant the whole post. and you asked for an upper bound not a realistic estimate

[Princess Leia]

Can we do a real time interaction test? I want to test your speed. I'll give you a question and I want to see how fast you can answer it.

RUNNIng MAWYy

is this a question?

[Princess Leia]

Are you ready to answer my question? I'll post it as soon as you post again.

[Princess Leia]

You've made me refresh the page so many times :(

[Princess Leia]

Does anyone else want to do this test with me? Tayl0r ran away because she's scum.

[Marashu]

Wooo hello everyone, btw i have a curse that makes me alternate scum and town games, can i be conftown? K thx

I'm suspicious in part because I looked into this, and it isn't true at all. You rolled town twice in a row, and also rolled scum twice in a row.

Gives me even more inclination that you're setting in gambler's fallacy psychological tricks on us to make us think you're town.

Somebody called for a gambler's fallacy?

I have a theory that every trial is influenced by the trials that happened before btw

Also, might be me overanalysing wording but "the game starts with 12 vanilla town and 3 mafia goon" leaves room open for us gaining PR's later, does that seem like a realistic possibility?

OP said that there are 6 possible trials, based on day and alignment. I don't think that they're based on previous results; I think there's D1 town, D1 mafia, D2 town, D2 mafia, D3 town, and D3 mafia, and what those are should already be set. Scum team also decides on consequences, if I understood the setup correctly, so it's possible that their choices will change things more than the results.

big balls Mage here, volunteering to do the first trial.

Vote: Battle Mage

bad executions can be VERY bad for either team, especially a Day 1 scum execution.

Because this, going willingly to trial D1 is against your alignement in every case, even more than normally

I disagree with gypyx here. You can, as town, get a win for yourself even if your team loses, making a jester-like play possible (but if you jesterwin here, it's because you did well and that will help town). We know that trials are difficult for town to succeed. With no mention of mafia, I'm inferring that it's not difficult for mafia to succeed. However, passing trials helps town, not the team of whoever passed, so sending scum to a trial will give them a situation where they need to decide to help town at the risk of their own success, or fail and hope that one of their buddies also doesn't go to trial.

It's better for us to send scum to trial. It's bad news for us to send lynchbait to trial. It can be good for us to send competent town to trial, but at the end of the day I think it just comes down to, scumhunt and eliminate scum.

not gonna lie though I was planning on trying the same thing as battlemage and try and talk myself of the wagon. If it failed I still had a win con in trial. BM is either obvtown or supergambitscum.

I agree with this. I've been trying to think whether it's better to send competent town or scum to trial D1. So BM can be town for now.

Gypyx's responses give me the vibe of scum being cornered tbh

Cornered on what lmao, this whole conversation had no link to the game

Weird that you don't see it, or are trying to brush it off.


Also, V/LA until Saturday, more emphasis on limited access. I'll be around but won't really be able to focus on the game until then.

[pob long]

you should know i am taking your refusal to answer my questions as dodging

[Princess Leia]

@Fidget and plusjoy
I want you both to answer this.

Do you think pob long is a cat or a dog person? I also want you to explain what you'd do if you walked into a room and found pob long lying face down on his desk, as if he was planking but his legs are too far up the desk so it's not planking. Note, it is the 15th century in this scenario and mobile phones do not exist. You are also in a remote hut in the Sahara Desert. It is built onto an oasis so it is cool and you have water. You also have clothes and oatmeal, but that's about it.

pob long has a scumread and you are 80% sure he is town. Do you follow him on it?

[Titus]

I'm not reading pages of people quadra posting. If you got something to say, be more efficient.

[shellyc]

does this come off as genuine paranoia to you, shelly?

it does.

[shellyc]

wow the fluffposting

scum should def go on trial, exactly like how we want to lim scum
