Mini Normal 2196 - Game Over

[bugspray]

huh why were there quotes before my vote and monologue?

[clidd]

I'm playing differently and my tired expression is due to a lot of internal work, not visible.

But your comparative/behavioral interpretation + gif speculation reflects me as coming from a genuine perspective.

I like bugspray for town.

[April Ludgate]

something's off with bugspray/clidd, but idk what it is

im generally town reading bugspray, and then clidd i was semi scum reading, but clidd got townier recently

[clidd]

Well, they had no immediate reaction to my response, so I don't know what's going on in their heads right now, but the crazy formulation of suspicion about me on the previous page struck me as towny.

[April Ludgate]

i dont think you're s/s, but i dont necessarily think you 2 are town/town right now either, but that's possible.

Bugspray kinda went after you hard, and i could see it as scum aggression, but ive typically been town reading bug spray.

I can see your passivity and deflecting coming from scum too.

It might be tvt, this is more of a ill look into it later because i really dont have either of you on the "immediate chopping block"

[clidd]

I mean, it would be very strange scum!bug attacking me like that because there are points in his post that suggest that he overestimates me as a player and this is a bizarre take coming from a scum mentality that supposedly would have to discredit/reduce my social image to make me become an miseliminable slot.

[clidd]

Sorry, I forgot to use they*

[RLotus]

Clidd's noncomittal reads are causing alarm bells to loudly blare in my head.

In addition most of the reads do not have as much depth as would first appear. The reads on me/rllotus/gerain compares us to how we played in a recent game with clidd where lotus+I were scumbuddies and he groups us again here. Clidd is a very intelligent and analytical player and I would expect town!clidd would separate us and give a more in depth read.

I agree with the premise that not committing to reads is something scum tend to do to absolve themselves when that read flips town or what have you. But, I don't know if I would expect to be hard committing to reads or having too many in depth thoughts this early in the game. At least personally, I can't see a whole lot of AI actions that people have taken, so I don't agree that this is necessarily damning to clidd at this moment.

In fact, I tend to find it scummy when people have too confident reads this early. (Da Dude's wagon)

I do think your thought process is very towny here regardless.

[bugspray]

i have more thoughts but i'd rather share them a few more meatspace days into the deadline so that this pattern can continue
sucks when you point out something scum is doing and they immediately stop it (although still useful)

[bugspray]

i hope mini's catchup is going well

[bugspray]

Bug goes up.

[clidd]

It's fine if you suspect me, but keep an open mind about the game. Assess individually who you think is town/scum without drawing pre-flip associations, or your reads will be affected by confbas.

[clidd]

Correction: Confbias.

[bugspray]

Confirmation bias?

[bugspray]

Also I feel the need to point out that clidd has not objected to my statement that Benedict Cumberbatch is his fursona

[clidd]

Yes, confirmation bias.

[clidd]

Also I feel the need to point out that clidd has not objected to my statement that Benedict Cumberbatch is his fursona

[clidd]

Just to put it in context, the premise of Benedict being my persona allows the inference you made about the gif showing my mental state, which at that time would be tired, but this does not necessarily imply my alignment. I can be tired regardless of being town or scum.

The assumption of tiredness being connected to the cognitive load of being scum, however, is interesting, but lacks development. The behavioral comparison of your expectation of town!Clidd is something based on meta, so if you don’t believe my “I’m playing different” counterpoint and you’re interpreting my flexibility of reads as scummy, there’s not much to discuss beyond the fact that you need to keep evaluating me to check if your impression of scum!Clidd is incorrect or not.

[DrippingGoofball]

Cloud seems to be rigid, so that's a "lean scum" from me.

[Not_Mafia]

Klick replaces Ydrasse.

[Klick]

Sup

[geraintm]

Hello klick.
I dont have anything of substance to say. No one screams scum. No one is making especially objectionable votes. Alicek has gone silent. They were pushing da dude earlier and since they turned up hasnt said anything. Thats all I've noticed the last day
