Mini 2231: Radio Buzz | Game Over!

[Gamma Emerald]

i imagine ti's a lot easier for scum to 'solve' the callers than to solve the 'real' game, so people who focus on the callers and not the game is soemwhat scummy to me
and i guess for you especially because as of liek this morning you had little 'main game' solving (although it looks like you have more in the pages i just read)
so like i guess it makes me a little nervous taht you're scum finding an easy, but largely meaningless, way of interacting with the game

i find it more likely the scum are avoiding doing so due to knowing who the mafia caller is but anyway

Both would probably be about equal because they have the knowledge for both
Only thing I could see is the callers have more limited input so the town ones can’t be as consistent about pressing them for focusing on them more

[Roden]

Am I missing something wrt Kyouko and Rousseau? Kyo seems like obvtown and Rousseau comes off as town due to prodding questions and analysis of game mechanics.

[Gamma Emerald]

I agree wrt rousseau definitely
kyouko also seems like town but I’m not as sure

[Infinity 324]

- rousseau i feel like you're inordinately focused on the callers, like more focused on them than the players of the 'main' game. why are is so much of your focus on them?

feels important to me/captures my attention

ok why more than like all the other things that are happening in this game. kinda feels to me like sorting the 'main' game is more important than sorting the callers; i feel like they're mostly a distraction

this is in-character for shiki

I'm avoiding it because I haven't seen anything of substance.

[Cephrir]

Hmm okay Gamma do you think you and Infinity as 2 scums makes sense?

Not really
I feel like our combined trajectory would be different given this would be the second time we rolled scum together to my knowledge and the first one was a tragedy, so I’d definitely want to avoid the same pitfall we fell into before

I don't think you're making this up so I believe you. You're town if Infinity is scum

what prompted you to write 461 in the first place?

[Tetrina]

Because Infinity was saying she could see Gamma as a scum with her

[Infinity 324]

i do feel like skitt should at least not be scumreading me here. unless others who played with me think i've much more shallow/pedantic than i normally am as town. i don't think that's true, i think if skitt was genuinely trying to sort me it's pretty likely she would see the emotional or solving purpose behind my posts. which is to say this is a BoP read

[Cephrir]

the omgus takes:
dgb i think is town
galron i think is not town

[skitter30]

i mean i still dont' get why you think i shouldnt' be scumreading you so
and if i wasn't trying to sort you i would have just voteparked you presumably

[Cephrir]

Cephrir is wasting a lot of his game posts on IIoA and idle mechtalk,

shrug

not really that into the game yet, it's a little boring

btw leaning town on gamma

[Gamma Emerald]

the omgus takes:
dgb i think is town
galron i think is not town

why
I feel like my reason to TR Galron is rather solid

[Ydrasse]

infinity i've never seen you act like this as town e_e what have you done specifically that you think's towny enough to be townread for?

[Tetrina]

i do feel like skitt should at least not be scumreading me here. unless others who played with me think i've much more shallow/pedantic than i normally am as town. i don't think that's true, i think if skitt was genuinely trying to sort me it's pretty likely she would see the emotional or solving purpose behind my posts. which is to say this is a BoP read

Are you trying to guilt trip skitter

[Cephrir]

Tetrina ISO

177 newbie inquisitveness?
179 nice react to RVS vote
183 The Are you serious pagetop thing. I don't think it's faked. The rolleyes make it seem like she's saying "that's a dumb rule."
185 is sketchy because we already cleared that up
189 fluff
193 slightly townie
195 not sure what this question was but it's about the pagetops so I didn't care
200 sounds legit if she is not a forum mafia player
203 got the invite from MT
206 doesn't understand something cephrir said -- I don't think I did either
210 explains how she plays irl mafia with cards
212 again, seems genuine newbie question, but then gets in a good question on cephrir "What else should I comment on then?" I don't remember if there was a follow-up. Would be real townie if she followed up on that.
214 new to the board comment NAI
224 townie answer to gamma's question -- logic tracks
229 No I just responded to what I wanted to, townie. Are you now saying I could be scum with her, still strange that her mind would go there if town.
232 new to the board NAI
235 light bulb mechanics
236 newbie question
239 newbie question
240 fluff
316 blind vote on Infinity. The way it's done is odd, both bolded and vote tagged. Not sure if this is a newbie thing or for emphasis or what.
333 looks to be solving infinity and/or kyouko
344 Why is skitter so scary (look at her sig)
345 I was planning on following her today. Not sure what that means. Sheeping Skitter?
347 light engagement with Skitter
351 telling House to flip off, townie
354 not sure abt this engagement with Infinity, pings town though
355 fluff
408 solving Infinity
410 solving Infinity
457 solving Infinity
461 solving Gamma and Infinity
466 solving Kyouko
469 Gives conditional read on Gamma
472 not sure
478 asks mod if the callers are talking to each other, which is a decent question
503 votes me, just with vote tags though, and "skitter?" for some reason
556 not sure what she means "scum can't do that"
562 asks me why I'm upset or frustrated. Maybe wanted to ask me IF I'm upset or frustrated?

Nothing to piss me off, but I get a town lean. Her trajectory from daystart to present seems consistent with someone adapting to a new medium for playing a game that they're already familiar with.

did something prompt this besides wanting to produce content to get heat off yourself

[Infinity 324]

infinity i've never seen you act like this as town e_e what have you done specifically that you think's towny enough to be townread for?

again what i think is towny is totally different from what others think is towny for me

skitt is usually good at picking up on stuff though. i think the emotion around my skitt read was really towny and some of my posts in real-time recognizing townposts from gamma, kyokou, and tetrina

[Roden]

Because Infinity was saying she could see Gamma as a scum with her

But you asked a loaded question to even find this out. Both town and scum will answer due to associatives that make sense, but scum knows who the true scum team are and can safely use associatives to answer who they think they could be scum with, while in reality would have distanced themselves from at least one of their scum buddies if they're actually trying to play the game.

i do feel like skitt should at least not be scumreading me here. unless others who played with me think i've much more shallow/pedantic than i normally am as town. i don't think that's true, i think if skitt was genuinely trying to sort me it's pretty likely she would see the emotional or solving purpose behind my posts. which is to say this is a BoP read

Do you think they're just wrong? This implies a slight shade on them if you think town!Skitt should be reading you "correctly" here but hasn't.

[Cephrir]

also do you think it is important for us to sort the callers?

i think it's not super important unless they have roles. but it could provide something for us to talk about to generate content & might be useful for that reason

i can't tell if this is anything or not, but let's VOTE: kyouko

Cephrir hasn't changed his vote since his RVS vote in gamepost #69.

not rly rvs, but so?

[Tetrina]

Yeah so I asked Gamma to see if it might be Infinity and Gamma as scums

[Ydrasse]

infinity i've never seen you act like this as town e_e what have you done specifically that you think's towny enough to be townread for?

will return to this later

Are you trying to guilt trip skitter :shifty:

no, no one should feel guilty about scumreading me. but she tends to be good at recognizing when i'm town

pedit: yes skitt is still a scumlean for me, partly for that reason

[skitter30]

infinity i still feel like it's some sort of double standard where you expect me to townread you but can't really describe what bits i'm supposed to be townreading

also i'm not liking ceph's posts just here that much

[Cephrir]

VOTE: ceph

galron's takes are pretty ok, skitt isn't really going anywhere but i agreed with galron? i think? when he said that ceph's posts towards tetrina felt a bit forced, to me if felt like he was trying to twist her newbie-indicative posts into something scummy. could be a playstyle thing

how does this differ from just thinking those posts were scummy, which i did

[Cephrir]

Cephrir how much fun are you having and how much do you check the page?

not that much yet. i think there are a lot of people who know each other here so some of the conversation is opaque to me.

i haven't been checking it much for several reasons one of which is that it's currently finals week for me. i'm stressed out and largely using mafia to procrastinate

[ssbm_Kyouko]

I wonder if this threw Galron off because Galron is partnered with Infinity, and he didnt understand why he was being called a town partner with her, rather than a scum partner

VOTE: Galron

a) dislike this reasoning, i also thought gamma had written 'town partners'
b) don't want galron to be on e2

I’m not sold on Cephrir!town but I don’t like the way you or Galron entered the thread after kyouko called you town partners with Infinity

Here's Gamma's post. Without the context of the typo, it is ambiguous whether he is using the plural or the singular you, and since the first use of you in the post is singular ( and is addressed at Galron) it is easily read that way from his point of view.

Gamma did write town partners, but it's not wrong to interpret it the way I think he might have.
