Open 833: Twin Trap [Postgame]

[redtea]

We should set NM to E-1 specifically so he is unable to do his self-vote opening

What makes you think N_M reads before he posts?

wake up babes new scum strat just dropped

Is the first elimination always town? Because how are you supposed to know who's who?

I'm a little confused
but no it's not always town, but town is, numbers-wise, always the most likely elimination, as they are the majority

[redtea]

btw sorry Deimos
hope to actually play with you this game

N_M would 100% hammer himself for the first post in the game if he was E-1.

redtea, do you see a problem with this post? It's not fatal but it's big. I am going to look through your other games to see if it is common for you.

[Tamora's Angel]

Particular tell inconclusive. Tonally redtea's different than their completed town games.

VOTE: redtea

those completed games you reviewed wouldn't include ones i've flipped but are ongoing would it? You can't talk about it, but there's no rule against making use of available knowledge afaik.
said this in another game but i'm experimenting with my playstyle. If you look more closely, you can see the change from my first games after hiatus to now.
take what you will from all that

[Tamora's Angel]

Nope. That's not the problem.

I don't reference ongoing or use things I can't point to. How do you think you've changed?

just realized you probably weren't referring to my meta here, unless you know me already.
in which case no i have no idea

tfw you hit submit a second too late

fair enough
(this isn't copy-pasted from my other post like this, this is paraphrased using my memory):

Spoiler:

I've been trying to find a balance between more casual play and tryharding, because doing the latter all the time gets stressful eventually bc of the expectations I put on myself; knowing the effect lurking can have on your slot is additional pressure. In an effort to keep having fun, I've been experimenting with my playstyle, to mixed results. I'm still figuring it out the ideal effort/fun/results ratio.

[redtea]

so you wanna explain whatever it was you were seeing?

[Deimos27]

Yeah I'm not really seeing whatever TA is seeing tbh. Maybe "I'm a little confused" is one sentence in 75 that feels marginally less natural but idk

I haven’t really made a serious vote yet.
But it wasn’t made for no reason.

Cool I feel the same

[NorwegianboyEE]

Football career aside, what is the meaning of Deimos?

[Deimos27]

It is not something to be known by mere mortals.
But I assure you that at some point in the past you have experienced Deimos, and at some point in the future you will again.

[Kop]

I haven't paid attention to football in a few years but recently a season pass to Arsenal matches kinda fell into my lap.

Oh, a gooner. I'm a Kop. (Imagine how funny this would've been if you were a Mafia Goon and I was a Cop in a game).

Anyway, I'm Egyptian, so "a part of me" still feels for them Gunners

good taste.

Great club, great fan base, great history. Followed and supported Liverpool all my life.

Big game Sunday against our arch rivals.

I'm a little confused
but no it's not always town, but

town is,

numbers-wise, always the most likely elimination, as

they

are the majority

[Deimos27]

Two words: temporal scope.

If redtea said that it's likelier for town to be eliminated

today

because

they

are the majority, I'd be jumping for joy. But given that they instead made the generalised claim that town is

always

the likelier elimination, I see "they" as a far more natural and grammatical pronoun than "we", because games where redtea either isn't playing or isn't town-aligned are included in "always".

[Deimos27]

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it was empirically +scum to use "we" in a context like that because such pronoun tells are fairly popular and something I know I've been self-conscious about before as scum, increasing the probability of making a sentence less grammatical for the sake of using the alignment-consistent pronoun.

My two cents.

[Tamora's Angel]

I agree that's possible, so I went through redtea's finished games looking for the same pronoun usage but realized the task was too difficult.

What I did find is a tonal shift between this game and his other town games. I'm curious how redtea actually intended to change and see if that caused their shift or if it's a red PM.

[Tamora's Angel]

*their not his my bad

[NorwegianboyEE]

Looking for other games based on a pronoun usage before changing it to it being about their tone is probably an townie though process.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Thought process*

[Deimos27]

Yeah I'd say TA +town
Wish I knew her main
