i don't get this read bc the sample role pm is unspoiled in the ruleset, i don't know if prism really thinks that scum!enchant isn't gonna like, accidentally glance over it and see that the colour of the role is different than usual
I'm rereading the game this morning, so apologies now if I am referencing ancient posts from two days ago.

What's funny about this is both Prism and Datisi are on weird points here. When I read Enchant's "green PMs" post, I landed on it probably being +town too, but not for the reason Prism did. I assumed Enchant was gambiting to see if anybody leaped out to all him scum for it.

So that seems off for prism to instead assume he's town bcause he didn't read the sample PM.

And then Datisi takes a different approach to questioning Prism, instead pointing to there being no way Enchant could have missed the PM color in the ruleset. Which, I guess I agree with, but not the thing I would find weird about Prism's point there. The thing that is weird is not seeing the somewhat obvious play Enchant was making.

Enchant, can you clarify your intention with the "scumslip speedrun" post?

I'm not sure Enchant plays with goals like that in mind

This actually is a weird post if you read the first two pages again. Hmm.

I mean, it was funny. I laughed. But Enchant could also be seeing if it nets anything? Seems like a longshot in this playerlist of course, but I think Enchant actually says and does smart things at times when I see him play.

Maybe I project motive where there is none though. Who knows.

i think you're seeing things that actually aren't there because you assume enchant's play follows any kind of logic

why is that skitt post weird again?

enchant made a joke about how they were scumslipping by calling the role pm green

the town role pm was blue

there was a sample pm posted by mod, which was blue

prism says that enchant doesn't know to make that joke as scum bc that would mean they would need to have read the mod post and seen the blue sample pm

Just that nothing clearly seemed to prompt it. There wasn't a lot going on there, and nothing you said to that point was strange.

I know you two got into this more in depth recently, so I'll look forward to reading that with fresh eyes.

maybe that was what you were saying? but it sounds like you're saying the argument is "didn't read the sample pm, therefore, town"

I think we're in the same neighborhood at least. I see what you're saying though.

He's talking abt this one. I would again like to point out that its different from whatever he thinks i'm doing to you here, in that that one my partner was hevily under fire, so i just bussed hard (maybe after coming back from vla idk)

And this one if i'm partners with u i'd have just decided to randomly start bussing you as my first oush of the game, which i wouldnt do ...
Noted. I mean, I obviously know we aren't partners, so there is already a lack of merit there.

What I am looking for is the exact conditions the bussing started under. One of course busses when a buddy is going down regardless, which is definitely different than what datisi is describing, which is bus as an optimal strategy in micro games (which I don't agree with at all).

I'll give this a look later today. Thanks.
Why is this exercise interesting to you? Since as you pointed out, you should know skitter is not bussing you.

Someone help me
Can I get your follow up thoughts on your claim and Prism's role now that we have discussed it more?

I'm also thinking more about the gated nature of your mailman claim, and thinking maybe that does fit with a town ascetic? Like, town ascetic claims D1, and town needs to decide to yeet them or not. Mailman then has a decision: Do I out D1, or try to keep quiet and test if this person is ascetic tonight by my action failing.

It seems kind of pointless, but maybe that distraction plays with other PRs or something?

Are you still as convinced as you were that mechanically Prism's role doesn't fit with yours as town?

I think I'd need to reread your argument to answer this, which I should probably do anyway, although analyzing 1v1s is something I am not skilled at.
