Open 862: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[NorwegianboyEE]

I’d also like to know if you still scumread them BBT.

[Ausuka]

Ausuka are you always this smooth talking.

I want you to be town, but like… it’s like you feel 2 townie 2 b town.
How do you think people should read you? Do you think you behave an certain way as scum?

idk I haven't been a wolf in 3 years

What is your towngame like then, (in your own stated opinion)

I tend to be fairly active, push people, and ask questions as town? It's hard to describe my own meta like this For what it's worth, people I played with often used to sort me tonally by saying that as scum I sounded bored and like I didn't really care

[NorwegianboyEE]

Ok, thank you.
I wanna hear BBT’s take before i clarify mine.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

It makes him look like he's generating content even though I don't think his approach shows much genuine sorting.

BBT why did you stop pushing me? Nothing you said before that point showed much doubt in your read

Regardless of my alignment, it's false to say that my push on you 'looks like I am generating content'. My push on you

did

generate content.

I stopped pushing you because I believe I got everything out of the exchange that I could. My read had softened somewhat (even moreso with your recent questioning to Somnus and Bella) and I'm interested in looking at Alianna now because I have issues with some of her posting as well. If I had to label the read, I'd say null leaning on the scummy side.

[Ausuka]

You're right, I spoke unclearly. You did generate content with your push, but I don't think the way you approached it made for particularly useful content, and you didn't seem interested in making effective use of the content you produced.

[Ausuka]

I'd be interested to hear why the read softened in the first place - that was what I was referring to with the question

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I've said all I'm going to say on it. If you want to continue, go ahead. I'm done with the conversation.

[Ausuka]

@ausaka, I liked somnus' early game the most out of everyone, almost every post looked solvey. I don't love the recent 'look at me sticking my neck out ' but *shrug*. Again, it's a day one read - somnus has a pretty good scum game.

With alianna, it's a bunch of stuff: I don't like her interactions with you and bbt, the awkward fourth vote post, quite a few awkward posts in general. I don't see drive/forward progression.

:shrug: I don't agree with the Somnus read but I could see town making it

I was mostly asking, like, what you thought about her interactions with me and BBT? I do agree with you but I'd like to hear your thought process there

[NorwegianboyEE]

I think Ausuka is more likely town after my interaction with them.
Not townlock but they don’t seem fake.

[Ausuka]

I was going to vote Ali but they would be at E1 and both enchant and not mafia are in the game so I'll pass actually

I hope your apartment gets AC soon SS, we don't have AC where I live either and we're about to have a heatwave >.>

[NorwegianboyEE]

Meanwhile i live in an cellar apartment where i need to turn on the electrical heater every morning because my room is so badly insulated and constantly cold.

[Ausuka]

Ali is there a reason you seem totally fine with BBT blatantly refusing to answer your questions and still expecting you to answer his?

I'm not fine with it. I'd like to see an answer.
But also, it was only one question, so this seems like you may be misconstruing the situation.

I checked and it's true that you only asked one question; I saw another post with a question mark but that was indeed not actually a question. I don't think this substantially changes my opinion. Why do you think this is scum indicative?

As I said, I thought it may be a misrepresentation what happened. You're not lockscum, just a little sus.

VOTE: Alianna
While I’m not impressed w BBT’s approach to this game rn this feels like a very tepid way of engaging

I like this vote on Ali more than most of the others because 'tepid' feels like the perfect way to describe why Ali's approach to me felt bad

VOTE: Bellaphant because I'm a sheep.

Oooh - spicy. Let's go for that elusive page 1 elim.

There a particular reason you want one?
VOTE: Penguin

Why do you think this is an useful line of questioning?

I didn’t notice this earlier
I feel like a page 1 elim doesn’t really net good wagon data

I was more referring to why you thought Penguin actually wanted a page 1 elim, but upon further reflection I don't think this is actually alignment indicative

[NorwegianboyEE]

Alianne’s vote on Ausuka was a bit of an overreaction, and the ensuing downplaying of their vote and read was pretty bad, so i’m fine voting there.

[Bellaphant]

It's kind of what norwee and I think you have said - it doesn't look followed through enough in any convo. Bbt approaches her weirdly, the response is really shruggy, the. The response to you is different. I actually tried to vote them really early on just from their interactions, and then their posting got weirder around cop checks and stuff. I guess it's also tone - in iso, their 'vibe' literally shifts from post to post, like they aren't actually commited to the thoughts and feelings behind it.

[Bellaphant]

Like it's joke, joke, bad vote hiding in a joke, a maybe serious vote, a climb down, aggression in a joke, shit posting, a bad vote hiding in a joke, a joke, a climb down, a serious question, a serious response and an unvote...


I'm boring myself but it's actually weirder later, nothing seems to stick.

[PenguinPower]

I feel like a page 1 elim doesn’t really net good wagon data

i'm sorry - did you actually think i was serious?

[PenguinPower]

And Penguin, besides noting that Not_Mafia is playing a very different style than I think we were all expecting, where are you at with regards to some of the other players in the game?

absolutely nowhere except gamma seems too stiff, but that's probably town indicative.

[PenguinPower]

NM - are you still lolhammerhappy? I can't tell in this universe.

[Not_Mafia]

I've said all I'm going to say on it. If you want to continue, go ahead. I'm done with the conversation.

NM - are you still lolhammerhappy? I can't tell in this universe.

What universe do you mean friendo I only know one universe and it’s the one where you and I are the best of buds I would never lolhammer, it’s anti-town, disrespectful to the effort everyone is putting into the game and just plain rude

[Fun Times]

I mean, there's always 1 way to find out...
I'm good with an alianna wagon here!

-Andante

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Andante, where's Nancy?

[Fun Times]

idk, you can ask her next time she's around. but why is that relevant to me saying I'm good with Alianna wagon? (I gave my reasons earlier)

-Andante

[Fun Times]

Alianne’s vote on Ausuka was a bit of an overreaction, and the ensuing downplaying of their vote and read was pretty bad, so i’m fine voting there.

That's the only reason you're fine voting there?

-Andante

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Just wondering why she hasn't engaged with the game yet.

[Fun Times]

oh yall don't have much from her? look idk, I just got here, that sounds like something yall can talk to her about, we're a hydra, are we not? there's 2 of us. so 1 can cover for the other. it's as simple as that. I'm just kinda confused on why you're all "I need your other half!!!" like, I'm here, why isn't that good enough?


on another note, idk why but I'm kinda hesitant of this aliana thing, cause Norwee's single reason.. like it's standing out so much... "Oh I'll join the wagon cause of this 1 thing" where it's like, I SR like 5 other things... idk though,
