LOST (Game Over)

[Enchant]

Yep.

Restriction is real. It doesh't change anything alignmentwise.

Btw i am in good mood somehow, so i answer one question directed to me. Probably.

Is your flavor really a rock?

Sadly no.

[MalcolmTucker]

I feel like there could be one scum in Galron/Frog from their argument.

While I don't agree with T-Bone's view re the faked restriction, I think he's town for suggesting it. Seems like a theory unlikely to come from scum.

[Bellaphant]

#frogstar, I went back and just read your posts in iso And I think it's actually not massively to do with anything alignment indicative: I found the posts where you explained stuff townie and the shorter/direct stuff scummy. I had this issue recently with STD and gamma, so it's probably a me problem. I also had weird vibes about the you/gamma hydra/rad interaction - I didn't agree with your points about noticing the restrictions and the whole convo still looks a bit strange, but I liked your interaction with rad better.

In terms of reads, rad, pooky, bell, klick for their reads and interaction with my question, town, I'd like to say Luke is town but I've been hurt before, I kind of hate everything Dunn posts.

More later, many kids.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Frogster why are you townreading me?

[Off The Hook]

STD said signatures don't count.

What a fake post restriction if I've ever saw one.

Which part?

If signatures don't count, why not use them every post? In the very few posts you've made I don't feel like you've been either careful with your words or consistent in your application. It looks like to me you're making it up on the fly (or that you and your partner didn't agree how to fake the restriction).

I'm skeptical for other reasons that I'll discuss with the other players, but we can start there.

Look, I am aware that if the restriction is real I risk wasting your word counts or whatever, and you're limited in your ability to explain... but how everyone else reacted is exactly how you would want if you were faking a restriction. Sorry, thems the breaks.

If they were going to fake a restriction though, wouldn't you expect them to be doubly sure how they were going to go about it before committing? It strikes me as an especially convoluted and weird thing for a hydra to make up in particular on D1, when coordinating a hydra can be a difficult job anyway, especially if said hydra is scum. And given the size of the game, being able to successfully coast through D1 could be of limited advantage anyway considering there'll likely be lots of phases.

The mistakes are the reason I decided to call attention to it. I was suspicious when I first saw it but wasn't gonna bring it up right away. Maybe I should have let them make a few more mistakes before I said anything but that's on me.

Why EVER fake restrictions.

To make players like you ask that question rhetorically as if it was self evident they were town.

If you find yourself asking why would (player) do (thing) if they were scum...then my friend you are the gullible target audience.

do you think C+G are scum?

I don’t really see it. It just looks like Frogster pissed them off. And they responded how they responded.

@CSF Intuition which I recognized around 341 but likely had more to do with your start. I decided to trust my read more on you once Klick said they gut read you as Town.

Explain what I did to piss them off then?

[Bell]

That would be Galron’s responsibility, not mine, silly.

[Bell]

I think Pooky’s approach makes sense so far.
But they’ve done meta pushes before as scum sometimes on their own partners (e.g., baltar)

I don't think I did anything to piss off Galron, because I don't think Galron has a false sense of entitlement. I think if they appeared pissed off then they are likely acting.

One of my improv teachers explained to us one day: "remember in improv we have four emotions: mad, sad, glad and afra'ad!"

[Off The Hook]

I'm reading my interaction with Galron as SvT.

I don't think your opinion is relevant
(this isn't meant as a diss, more "it only really counts as a salient observation when an outside observer says it when it's said in this manner")

Haha. I must be super depressed today because I didn’t laugh at this.
Uh, probably a failure of imagination, they might not even admit to it or I could be totally wrong. Since explaining your own morality can be awkward. Best just to hide it and pretend it’s something else.

[Bellaphant]

@frogstar, more reads! I can't get my head around the g.e hydra, I don't town read pp, ceph can be day one town, I've read some Malcolm games and they seemed quite lim baity, often for tone, enchant is probably town.

Happy to answer any questions!

Do you have anything for me CSF? You were a weird null for me

[Off The Hook]

This is funny to me, because this is the least serious I have taken a game in a while.

Meh, I was being non-serious at the start of moderators as well.

But my point stands.

I was have purposefully tried to take this game less seriously, and this is the second time someone said that I was being extra serious early

Do you think it's more likely to come from mistaken town or scum trying to stir up trouble (or other?)

Luke's ISO reads like it's serious from the start

Luke's ISO reads like it's serious from the start, and all I really got out of it was 2 bad town reads and a lot of nothing.

Rad's prob town

Luke started very serious out of the gate, like rvs didn't exist. Too much caffeine?

It feels like Galron lifted the idea straight off of Rad.

I don't think that Galron and Rad are scum together, but I think that there is probably scum in the pair.

good sorting, and good thought, I notice scum tend to group up with a townie and try to mirror thoughts with that one townie intentionally

Ircher doesn’t really engage with the thread even without post restrictions. Until suddenly, they do.

[Klick]

Malcolm, what's up?
How are you? Are you still getting eliminated every day 1?
How has all of the being eliminated effecting your playstyle this game or how do you predict it will if at all?

I've actually never been eliminated D1! As a general rule when I'm town I manage to get through the first day, but after that I'm sometimes eliminated. Either way I tend not to let it impact my playstyle all that much - I wouldn't even say I have that much of a specific playstyle for the most part, I simply analyse and try to find connections between different players but tend to be pretty uncertain in how I approach the game.

I kinda like this post as coming from a town mindset for Malcolm.

Because several of us here know he was eliminated day 1 as scum in the Web of Lies games (and is what Bell is refering to here I believe).

But he didn't even think of that game. His thoughts went to "I never get

mis

eliminated day 1." And [I'm town this game, so I am immediately comparing this game to my other town games] feels like a genuine thought process. While I would kinda expect scum!Malcolm to be more aware of the scum game where he crashed and burned

This is really good.
UNVOTE:

[Rad]

Bella can you explain your town read on me? We had a super difficult time town reading each other in our previous game. Is it a vibe thing here or is there something specific that stood out to you?

[Lukewarm]

Thank you
