okay, i have just finished with my seminar that i have to hold tomorrow and it's 11pm and i slept poorly last night so i am dead tired right now, so i will read guiltylion's wallpost tomorrow bc brain no work now
i do wanna point out that i want to see guiltylion do some like, Solid Analysis, especially on the slots that he's promised, and he could also try to convince me he wasn't pocketing me, etc. if he's town, i don't want him to Just Die, and i want to figure it out
the thing i do wanna throw out for him to discuss (and realistically for anyone else too) is my lily read. so, she was apparently struggling to get into the game. which like, fine, i get it, i've been there too. so marcistar says she's gonna make a readslist to help her get into the game, fine, and she posts
477. lily's response,
481, is just bland vague agreement. this rubs me very much the wrong way.
when i'm in the situation where i'm town and i'm lost, and i see someone i know offer to make their own readslist to help me, my first instinct is to use whatever readslist they post as a spring board to get into the action. question the reads they have put out. skim the relevant parts of the game to get some idea of what's going on. attempt to read the person that posted the reads. if the readslist is unhelpful, call out the person who made it. like, so literally ANYTHING that indicated that i actually care about solving the game. i don't think this is a very unpopular stance, though correct me if i'm wrong.
what does lily do? she just goes "haha yeah i can see where you're coming from". no critical thinking, no attempt to further solve the people in the readslist, on marci herself, or anything, just bland agreement and going back to as if that readslist never happened.
now, if lily is a complete newbie to the game, i could understand this as coming from town. because i sure know i was nervous my first games, and i can see that not being enough to help them get into it. but if she has prior experience playing mafia, then i sure do find the reaction suspicious. shouldn't town show some, uh, giving a shit about the game?
this was too many words to say "i think lost!town interacts with a readslist made specifically for them more than she did" but whatever
i'm going to bed
