Norfolk's posting just seemed excessively LAMIST to me

How so?

Norfolk's posting just seemed excessively LAMIST to me

How so?

I hate this post. I hate this post a lot. There are a few different reasons I hate it. But oh, I hate it.

[Imperium]

Thank you for your feedback!

Sir cakes mush hating the post doesn’t mean I don’t want you to answer it,

[Imperium]

Voting isn’t going to give the scumteam information that’s dangerous to town any more than using townreads gives the scumteam information.

Vote if you want. Don’t vote if you want.

It doesn’t really matter.

Really? I think saying that you don't want the gun is scummy as opposed to towny, on the surface.

Whemstar who is asking to be shot is LAMIST in my mind.

To me Norfolk looks like he is overcompensating for something he did that he knows looks scummy on the surface, so I agree with both of you if that makes any sense. I also agree that Whemestar's eager attitude looks like an act to me.

Where did he overcompensate and what was scummy on the surface?

[MUSHSHAGANA]

Albert, Duchess: I'd like your thoughts specifically on the posts between 180 and this post (most likely 205). Do you see what I see? Can you hear what I hear?

I'm not dropping any hints to avoid bias, but it's not information I care about keeping hidden. Either of you can answer openly if you spot it.

[Imperium]

I realize you’re a bit of a control freak mush and desperately want tone in charge of this game, but kindly but your head out of the middle of my conversations thank you.

I’m pretty sure what your phantom ears hear won’t be going away anytime soon, but I’m actually interested in having my questions answered please and thank you.

[MUSHSHAGANA]

It's interesting that you think I can stop anyone from answering your questions, or that I would even necessarily want to stop it. More content is better, right? I hate your first post on this page for reasons entirely unrelated to you getting an answer to your question.

And it's even more interesting that you think I'm butting into your conversations at all. Should I simply not post in the thread whenever you are waiting for replies? Don't bother answering that. It's rhetorical, because even if the answer is yes, it's an unrealistic desire that literally no one will ever follow for you. The point is that I have no earthly idea what your expectations for me are here. That said, even if I did know, I'm inclined to not humor them at all from this point onward anyway, given that you jumped directly to appeal to ridicule when you came to these entirely false conclusions.

Do you think this is AI?

[Imperium]

I couldn’t care less that you hate my question or why, but you jumping in to immediately pronounce you hate the post does stumble in the middle of my questioning and scum hunting. Now sir cakez will probably answer me anyway. If he ignores me at first, I’ll just keep bugging him until he does because his answer interests me.

You say you playa subtle town game, that was you right? So file away your hatred maybe, see how the conversation plays out and then jump onmewoth your hatred. Perhaps that data you receive will give you a better read than doing your letter best to interfere,

The second one with duchess is a bit less egregious, but it does still in effect shunt the conversation I was trying to have.

You remind me a little of me when I first started out. I thought I needed to be condescending and abrasive to be taken seriously too. I shrugged that mantle off years ago. I’m pointing this out because I see what your trying to do with this response to me and *shrug*. (Yes, I know you’re Ute not just starting out, you played several years ago and came back recently, my point still stands)

[Albert B. Rampage]

Nope don't see it but consider my vote on imperium

[MUSHSHAGANA]

You still insist I was trying to interfere with your questioning, and still I cannot possibly see how I /could/ interfere with it or why I would /want/ to. You make no explanation of how it disrupts, you just assert that it does.

You call me condescending and abrasive, but looking back, I see you are the one who stoops to appeal to ridicule for no visible reason.



The repeated and pointless attacks on my character are noted. Your assertion that I am specifically disrupting you without evidence or explanation is also noted. Your attribution of thought patterns to me even though I have said nothing to support them is noted.

Would you like to add anything else while you're at it?

I don’t have any meta or experience with her, so I don’t know; I’m just going by their description of themselves and behavior.

Right now I have a slight town lean based on the condescension and abrasiveness, and her reaction to abr calling her obvtown. I think her interaction with you was pretty bad in that I dislike the manner of ways she interacted, but I’m not sure it comes from scum. Mostly the idea that she gives off that she left clever little traps for scum to trip on issomething that might come from town.

Nope I’m good!

Interacting with you would just be a distraction and I’ll pass thanks!

[MUSHSHAGANA]

For all the accusing me of being condescending and abrasive, your inability to disengage without trying to put some zing in it is /also/ noted.

[Imperium]

Assuming no secret alts?

You Cakez dunn Norfolk. The former three have seen me in pretty dead on games. Norfolk lost to town me (we were competing day one wagons and he died)

I’m guessing Norfolk was scum there? Have you seen him as town too if so?

Are you guys planning to step back and watch a bit?

I kinda want to circle back around to the Norfolk experience after I’ve talked to a couple people on their Norfolk points if you guys aren’t going to sit back awhile.

[WhemeStar]

Not mafia is probably scum

[Imperium]

I'm not digging ScrewTheTells jumping in and claiming it's suspicious that i'm not posting when it's Sunday night in the UK.

Anyone suggesting a committee or that votes should decide the shot is a scum candidate for me.

The only confirmed town is Netflix, so Netflix should decide.

Another bad Norfolk post
They're basically saying don't scumhunt, it's netflix's job.

[Imperium]

Do you have experience with not mafia?

[Imperium]

I haven't seen anyone but you and Wheme talk about Duchess posting fluff. I'm seeing the opposite there. You'll need to explain how it's fluffy.

I'm mainly referring to their first post about how everyone should vote. It looks meant to appear as if they are invested in the game without actually committing to any reads. In hindsight it looks even worse given that he supposedly reads norfolk scummy yet didn't bother giving a read on him even though every post that norfolk made between the start of the game and when Duchess called him scummy were posted before Duchess' "fluffy" post.

Also, it's not even ten pages and 48 hours in and you're making associative reads? PUBLIC associative reads, no less? I'm also gonna need you to explain /that/ for me.

Well, it mainly comes from a general vibe I'm getting about the gamestate. It seems to me that several people are pushing onto Norfolk and naturally scum are trying to push into a different direction. Duchess' seemingly disingenuous push onto Wheme fits the bill. Again, I can very well be wrong, it's a preliminary read. But, there does seem to be something strange going on in that area.

I like this. I’d ordered finally squinted at you calling duchess town for making an essentially mechanical and easy post, but I liked the fleshed outness of this and the previous.

[Imperium]

I don’t know where ordered finally came from. It should just say I’d squinted,,,

I am caught up though yay me!

Maybe nacho will get around to posting some day too

[WhemeStar]

Not mafia is probably scum

Do you have experience with not mafia?

From a while back yeah

Are you any good at reading him?

I find him impossible to read and I think I’m okay at reading lurkers.

I was surprised that he popped in with a read.

[Imperium]

*and I didn’t know what to make of him giving a read.

[WhemeStar]

Its more like he plays the same every game he is in and I townread a lot of people currently so he is probably not town.
