Alright I'll be over here you have fun with that.

Why?

You didn't answer me on this unwnd.

Gut feelings. I have other people I'm side-eyeing but if the content to post ratio is not balanced, I usually just go on reading tone, which I felt his tone wasn't too great in the posts he made. The line that went something like 'We need to catch mafia' stuck out to me because it's a common goal yet the need to say something so obvious felt misplaced. Everyone who's town knows what the wincon is so him trying to seem helpful!! didn't set right with me.

It's gonna be me again to lead isn't it? Sigh

I do!
VOTE: unwnd

..Why?

This is the 3rd time I've had to ask this. Am I in a newbie game?

I think umwnd is town here

Well, in truth, I don't actually think you as scum would want to give yourself attention in a stagnant game. However, I also don't think you as scum would necessarily Not want to do that. Because yeah, you could totally just coast along and let the slow and unfocused Town self-destruct. OR you could jump in and try to grab some early towncred by taking the lead and pushing things along. Of course, that's a good thing for real Town to do also, so honestly, I don't think the whole drawing attention thing is AI.

However, I DO think that asking rhetorical questions about if scum would do a thing you're currently doing is pretty sketchy.

It's to get people to open up. Maybe I should give myself more credit to myself because when I finally put myself out there, I am getting things to latch onto. I don't understand why are you phrasing two scenarios to me though if you only believe in one existing right now

Because you asked why, and that's my thought process.

You could say the same for me. Hell, you could say the same for a lot of people. Thought processes become more differential the more you put into them. On one hand, I am appreciative that you tried to put something together. On another, I don't understand how it all came together in your mind and I simply had to be the scum you've been sitting on your hands waiting for.

Shrugs.

I saw a scummy thing, I voted for it.

Yet your output only comes when asked, not because you sought it our or are merely curious. Scum have the benefit of being an informed majority therefore they don't have to be inquisitive

EBWOP:

Yet your output only comes when asked, not because you sought it out or are merely curious.*

Why would I be seeking out my own output?

Because you (assumingly) don't have the answers?

It's the same reason why I'm sitting here and having this conversation with you-- I desire feedback.

So.... Shouldn't I be seeking YOUR output instead of my own?

Which I did with a deliberately provocative vote that I knew you would respond to

I think that only came because you saw a mounting wagon on me and gave a hackneyed response

Your behavior is widely different from before lol

If that's the case, why wouldn't I have hopped on a bigger wagon, like say Momrangal's? I wouldn't even have had to justify that one.

And yep, my behavior is different from before, because before I had no leads. Now I do.

Mara wagon was going nowhere, you and I both know this. Voting Mara at this rate is practically saying 'I have no opinion' which as the counter ticks down on the days is bad. I'm biased about what's going on because I happen to be in the middle of it, but I maintain what I said about you. If I am scum then Aristo must be town yeah?

I wouldn't say MUST be, but I would think it unlikely you randomly vote your partner like that, yes.

Y'know until you brought it up, I wasn't even really processing you as a "mounting wagon."

Damn imagine if the thread was more like this the whole time I bet we could've reached 1000 posts by now!

Pedit- Made you think huh? I'm not a bad guy after all

This is also contingent on how many scum there are, and if we're in a multiball game.

But we have exactly zero ways to know either right now, so I just assumed a small, single scumteam.

I think that's a strange point to add but I've said enough about your slot by now I think

Till then

I do too
I dunno if it’s defensible tho

Unwnd, keep talking, you are sounding more town.

It is hard to get reads when people don't talk.

There's not much else I want to muse about right now

I hope me talking will bring inspiration this game desperately needs
