Mini 1608--Mafia on the Air(Fin)

Anatole, could you clear something up for us? Are you suggesting we lynch in the hood until we hit scum?

[Cutty Shark]

I am also keeping past experiences that I can actually remember offhand (Lucky in Micro 188, Thor in Walking Dead) where I didn't bite on a case of yours and you turned out to be right anyway in mind.

I just am really not feeling it yet even though I'm townreading you. Not sure what to else say about it.

I was, but even though the possibility had been mentioned before, it didn't really register with me that scum could still be lurking in the neighborhood. So it's probably a bad idea.

[Cutty Shark]

And why did you want to do this? Because of 5-off, or just because large hoods typically have scum?

[Anatole Kuragin]

I don't think scum would say they got a PM claiming there was scum in their neighborhood so I believe it. That made lynching scummiest hoodlums seem like a good idea.

then just trust me this time around?

like, I know that I'm not perfect, and I have led mislynches, but my scumdar generally doesn't pick up signals as clear as FT is giving me, atm.

[Cutty Shark]

Will consider. Gamestate needs more maturity first.

If there's scum in the neighborhood (which there likely is)

How come you said "likely"?

[Anatole Kuragin]

[Cutty Shark]

That doesn't answer why you said likely instead of being definite.

[Anatole Kuragin]

yeah probably because that's not what I was trying to say

[Cutty Shark]

I'm confused.

[FourTrouble]

If he's town, he's going to get frustrated and think you're scum from it and probably not reassess.

Yes to frustrating. Though I wouldn't read 'em as scum because of that. It makes reassessment harder, since the whole point of asking them questions about their thought process is to better figure their alignment.

[FourTrouble]

Tammy, Cutty, what do you guys make of Baboon's "certainty" that I'm scum? How does their degree of certainty square with their reasoning?

[FourTrouble]

379 does have a towny tone.

[Anatole Kuragin]

I'm confused.

Yeah, I don't know what you're trying to get at either.

[Cutty Shark]

I'm confused.

Yeah, I don't know what you're trying to get at either.

You said there's likely scum in the hood and I want to know why you said likely instead of being more sure.

[Anatole Kuragin]

how could I be sure?

[Cutty Shark]

how could I be sure?

You were confident that 5-off was either telling the truth or scum, right?

[Anatole Kuragin]

jesus I'm dense

[Anatole Kuragin]

Yes, I think it's a definite possibility that there is scum in the neighborhood, but it's possible that the scum in the neighborhood may not be known to be in the neighborhood.

[Cutty Shark]

5-off has stated multiple times that this is not a gambit, so that means either he's town and telling the truth or he himself is scum. Either way, there IS scum in the hood.

PEDIT: I'm more confused ^_^ and this is probably going nowhere anyway but I want to pursue it because

[Anatole Kuragin]

Does definite possibility mean definitely or definitely a possibility? Regardless, there's no way there's not scum UNLESS it's a really shitty anti-town gambit as I mentioned previously - but I find that very unlikely.

[Cutty Shark]

Yes, I think it's a definite possibility that there is scum in the neighborhood, but it's possible that the scum in the neighborhood may not be known to be in the neighborhood.

That's unrelated to what I'm asking, which is why did you leave room for doubt about scum being in the hood when I think you should have been sure.

Well you're the one that said definite possibility first, but I'd take it to mean "it's definitely a possibility" because I wouldn't call something a possibility if it was definite.
