Open 784 - Hard-Boiled (Town Wins!)

VOTE: midari

Lmao lynchbait voting worse lynchbait

[superbowl9]

Also dope formatting Nash

[superbowl9]

Unfortunately Deimos/BM have already laid out a lot of the thoughts I had on the game so a lot of things I would want to post are just retreads of what they said (votato lynchbait and Midari lynchbait included). Seems like Nash is in our same mindset as well.

[votato]

You keep calling me lynchbait, i dont think it means what you think it means.

[superbowl9]

Care to enlighten me?

[votato]

Well it implies that i make for an easy (mis)lynch. Ive only been lynched on two occasions where i cared about the game, and two further where i didnt care much and thought town would do just as well without me. Ive only ever been lynched as scum one time, and in that instance my scumbuddies faked a guilty on me. Essentially, if im invested in a game im probably not the lynch. And if im not investe

[votato]

whoops. If im not invested im probably town

[superbowl9]

So you're saying it means what I think it means, you just disagree with me about you being one

If people can recognize you as lynchbait, then you probably won't get lynched, especially because you're a competent and somewhat productive game member. Idrc about your meta because other people lynching/not lynching you has no bearing on whether I think you are bait or not.

This was really just a roundabout way of saying "please don't lynch me, regardless of how I play"?

[Battle Mage]

don't understand this 'defence'. You voted Marashu, putting him at L-1 (although later claimed you didn't realise this), and then after getting some heat, you jump immediately onto somebody else who had also been voting Marashu, without an especially good explanation.

Definitely bad feels about how the Marashu wagon got to -1, and then fell away.

I'm not sure about this progression, Mr Ikishima:

What's up?

I'd appreciate it if someone can give me an unbiased tl;dr

People be lurking.

People be V/LA

People town read Demios and Votato I think.
Marashu is scum.

VOTE: Marashu

It's self explanatory

L-1

I didn't see the hidden vote from Worchest

Honestly how long are you going to waffle and not put any thoughts down.

VOTE: Worch
It's getting to a point where you are just coasting thru it feels.

#1. Its Miss.
#2. Looking at Mara's ISO that I believe you posted is just bad and even in my tl;dr the faux scumhunting and being called for parroting someones reads in a previous game. Its a bit obvious.
#3. I'm blind I only have one eye. (Seriously I'm half blind I feel a lot of times.)
#4. This I wanted 4 points so here we are.

[Deimos27]

Originally I felt surely scum would be quite happy being buddied, and at least not try to 1v1 the guy doing it which seems counter-productive. But on reflection, it's quite an easy way to get into the game on the front foot by attacking them (and also being buddied might make them nervous of extra attention anyway).

Battle Mage, were your 345 and 357 reaction tests to see how I'd respond to buddying?

How did you not see my vote ?

Phone Posting And I scrolled by it while my phone was in my hand. I'm sure you've never done that before?
Oh nevermind this is your second game or something.

Also when are you going to add something of substance? Or are we just going to coast thru? Like I said parroting people is not going to get us anywhere.

VOTE: midari

Best vote of the game. This game has way too many lurkers.

I don't remember seeing this type of episode before on any of the platforms I played and, particularly, unless you have a Nokia 6091, I find it difficult that an accidental post skip has occurred specifically in the L-1 scenario that Marashu was in. I would suspect, however, of your intentions if the set of votes had not stagnated.

Regarding my participation in the game, I have nothing relevant to share and I do not intend to invent anything to create the false impression of activity.

You have no thoughts about who might be scum? None about who might be town?

It looks like he's implying Midari and Marashu are scum. If so, I can roll with that.

jokes aside, no they weren't mainly a test (although I'm always keen-eyed for reactions), they were mainly just me legit buddying to try and form a little town-bloc to work with, so we can cruise to victory.

[Deimos27]

In response to (62) and (145), I'm curious to hear his thoughts on vota.

My approach to votato so far has just been to sit back and observe. I don't think any one of his posts is outside his town range, but I've noted that this is the first game I've played with him where I'm not sold by his tonality early on.

What causes the townlean on superbowl and Worcestershire (237)?

I liked superbowl's 77 and the tonality of some of the fluffier posts (180, 194), but this perception has faded as we have gotten farther from RVS. My townlean of Worcestershire was based solely on a page 7 naked vote entrance being too scummy to be scum, but his gameplay hasn't picked up since and I take your point about the larger cognitive load so I'd relegate that slot down to somewhere around null, and below superbowl, who at least has some analysis and semi-respectable comments.

Why is word suspicious?

When I say that I'm suspicious about someone, that generally means that I think that person is worth investigating, not that I think they are necessarily scummy. There was something about word's tonality and his early vote on me, as well as 222 where he contributes to the Tux case but isn't on his wagon, that gave me pause. There's also a bit of an associative with Marashu/Pi that enters into my emotional interpretation, but is independent of his individual scumminess.

For the most part his analysis is quite deep and resonant with me, especially recently in 375, so I'm happy to exclude the slot from any D1 lynchpool.

[Deimos27]

I'm pretty convinced Battle Mage is town at this point.

At the moment, I have Marashu as suspect.

[Deimos27]

If anyone who has meta with him would like to contest that notion and assert that he is within his scum range still, I am all ears.

[Worcestershire]

I didn't understand the line about cognitive load.

[Battle Mage]

Oi, I'm good enough as scum to convincingly fake being town! As I have plenty of meta on myself, I would offer you that my range as scum can be wide, although this is more characteristic of my play as active town (especially recently when I have more to prove as town).

I would also note, for the record, that your read on me is correct, as I am town here.

[Battle Mage]

I didn't understand the line about cognitive load.

Cognitive load

Illustrative usage:

If we can lynch Marashu or Midari in the next couple of pages, Battle Mage might blow his cognitive load.

[Deimos27]

I didn't understand the line about cognitive load.

Having a larger cognitive load is a characteristic of scum that can become exceptionally apparent in less experienced players, whose posting habits end up suffering from brevity and scarcity.

[Battle Mage]

my current lynchpool would be: Marashu, Nash, Midari, Ceejay - probably in that order.
