So, what does Hoopla's "change" in behaviour means to you, is it towny / scummy / NAI?

This is a really long winded way to say idk but I don’t think it has anything to do with alignment in this instance- maybe more excitement for this game?
I see, yeah that's fair, then i'm pretty sure that these posts make me lean towards thinking hoop is here to have a fun game, maybe take a little bit of time before getting serious

it appears you have some hang-ups about the concept of townhunting as a strategy. could this playstyle difference be the explanation for your suspicion of me and renaissance? food for thought.

In post 238, notscience wrote:i Kinda agree with hiraki that it’s a weird post because it’s making assumptions about Renaissance’s play style which I don’t think are merited to try and discredit a read on him.

Like no doubt there are playstyle crashes in this game and multiple people with set in stone ways they want to play, and there will have to be some compromise (for lack of a better term) wrt play styles.

Like I agree with what she’s saying but not how she’s saying it.
it's also weird in context - might be some self-bias here but i got that weird knock off for the "under the radar" comment but CooLDoG is basically doing the same sort of deal - if there's a difference from when that post was made, please let me know because me and CooLDoG were structuring our posts in completely similar ways. this is hoopla's first mention of CooLDoG and it's a...deflection-y sort of post? not really feeling great about it

even moreso at the same time, i dont see the reason to talk about it either. there's no scumread implication, just shade being thrown that is easily ignorable by saying "hey we have a playstyle difference get over it" rather than "hey, you're wrong because there's a playstyle difference" - the difference between those two interpretations is that the first doesn't care about the read implications and is just explaining the situation. the second implies that there is a read being cast there based off of that stuff. meanwhile, if we look at CooLDoG's post -
In post 233, CooLDoG wrote:Hoopla's post 217 is part of the reason I am voteing her. Over confident town reads d1. Not doing much scum hunting. Also doesn't do much actual analysis of hikari or reasons for vote in next post. Just does a quick slip in there.
CooLDoG is clearly voting Hoopla (and by extension not reading renaissance very well) due to a lack of explanation not, as Hoopla's post almost sideswipes it to be, due to the difference in playstyle. you would think that the appropriate response would be what Hoopla said and then something about her reads but this just seems like a real abstract way of deflecting CooLDoG's read without addressing all of his concerns

it just reeks of very
weird
and even weirder everytime i think about it

Unvote, Vote: Hoopla


not sure about notscience but i do not think i want to lynch there anymore after the last few pages

Exactly the opposite IMO! :]

Had he read about traitors, he wouldn't just ask "how common they are". He would know the roles normal guidelines and that's all that matters.
I don't get how that goes against what I'm saying - disregarding his now shown experience.
In post 249, Gypyx wrote:Ok, question, I see that no one has actually made any coments on the content of my read, apart from Flippy saying "yo that would be a sick traitor strat" so could anyone think about the read on it's own?
no
In post 250, Gypyx wrote:- Well, i'm trying to figure out peoples alignement, that's kinda how the game works
Correct - but to figure out X's alignment you have to ask Y (someone who you
don't
know) about their opinions on X (which they
could
be allied with). Am I incorrect?
In post 251, PranaDevil wrote:It means you missed half the thread where CooLDoG got so hung up on the N1 Vig meme claim that he was pushing for it to be lynched day 2... I advise reading it.
No, I just ignored it. CooLDoG had an opinion on a claim that I disagreed with but I didn't think he was scummy for it.
In post 251, PranaDevil wrote:The fact in later posts you've been town reading CooLDoG despite him literally trying to set up a day 2 lynch already is suspicious to me.

I already explained this. If it is an unnecessary show, then you would have said why it was an unnecessary show, no? And why does my show become unnecessary and yours becomes necessary?

hoopla -

do you have any evidence to backup whatever this stupid "HAHA" system is? those numbers have no value unless there's something behind it. i didn't see anything after a quick search. not to mention, your model has a lot of assumptions that i don't know who would get behind, without further analysis (which is why I am skeptical of it in the first place, as neat as I think game theory in mafia is) - for example, your model goes into the fact that 39/50 games have "scum" as being under 23%. How is the 23% calculated? Could there potentially be a point where 2 scum are slightly above that threshold and one scum drags them down? Then I don't think 23% is a fair number, no? And if 23% goes up, I'm sure that 39/50 is not solid either. Which means that your underlying "towntelling" theory isn't very valid and doesn't make sense.

i did a little digging too - no one in this game has posted over 23% when taking a sum of the average and the average of all in the thread as of your data set was 30.615. that would mean that your circle conveniently misses the one person that everyone has put up weird looks for in your town block -
renaissance
. what is even
more
convenient is that the number you went with to highlight your data was 23 while renaissance has
24
posts.

lastly, if we get rid of the two outliers in this thread (i think this helps the dataset become more uniform but i understand the underlying problem here) - your average goes from that 30.615 above to 32.991 which gets rid of every player but Gypyx, gooble & CooLDoG

i don't think this really makes a lot of sense and i'm starting to just feel weird about the clearly soft defenses of renaissance here that don't consider anything that renaissance has posted

I vaguely remember the game we were scum together, and I thought you were able to fake rational reads back then.
I actually thought it would've been nice to be town together in another game because I really thought you'd actually make accurate reads as town. :]

Why have you paired me and prana?

This makes sense to me, and reflects very much how I used to play D1s and 2s.
The thing here, is that it's misguided as hell to assume "I am town, therefore everyone should always know I'm town, or they are scum".
AND I'M NOT SAYING YOU DO ( :lol: )
, but that is often the problem.
People tend to get caught in the emotional side when no one trusts them or understands them.
And we can rarely see the flaws in ourselves - something we do or say might seem scummy to someone else but the fault is always in them.
Like how Gobbledy already said.
In post 705, gobbledygook wrote:See ya nerds. This is probably a town loss with how bad the town is

The rest of us are all bad, because "we can't see how clearly he is town and everyone he votes is scum" - or something to that extent.
How about sometimes, if the majority is against you, the flaw might be in..you? :giggle:

And while this could be interpreted in many ways, it's always just AtE and venting.
He could be scum faking it, or trying to vent his frustration.
But it does NOTHING to help town.
It's a team game.
If you get wagoned and lynched D1, no matter your alignment, use all the ammo you have left in favor of your surviving teammates.
And thus, I'm not moving my vote from Gobbledy, and consider their reactions on being wagoned very scummy indeed.
Ugh.
why are you coaching someone you just thought was possibly scum in the last post?

always happy with more flippy votes, no matter where they come from

In post 870, Hoopla wrote:he'd have to have posted, then gone back immediately and scanned the last three pages and counted his votes - that's if he knew exactly where the last mod VC was, and wasn't spending time looking for that. also, judging by the capitalisation of these two posts compared to his iso, it looks like he's phone posting (autocorrect often capitalises for you), and his other non-capitalised posts are desktop posts. if he's on his phone, that's generally harder to navigate and scan for votes on yourself than a desktop. well, at least for me, i find it harder navigating the game on a phone...
this took me less than 2 minutes

i'd actually like to hone into why this is a terrible statement overall - a little theory based but it's what i am thinking

for an opinion to be scummy, there has to be
scum
intent. this is something easy to say but hard to "prove". something to note is that the reverse is also true with having a town opinion. with this in mind, i'd like to re-examine what klick is saying here

what on
earth
would put my alignment toward scum for saying that i disagree with hoopla's ways of playing the game? town blocs are absolutely not essential nor are they always trusted, especially by people who are in and not in them (which is how they survive) - so how does the fact that I am saying that the "leader" of a town bloc, who I also think will flip scum, should not be trusted????????????????????????? this is what i meant above by scummy for an opinion, not an alignment based opinion

of course, cooldog is doing the same thing re: me. but black & white thinking appears to be the status quo for cooldog, so lack of curiosity doesn't seem as much of a tell for him.
i have tried, i just don't see it. in the middle there, i thought you were getting better but in hindsight i think it was just the less game-y text

In post 948, Klick wrote:Also, to quote your signature phrase: why does this matter???
That doesn't correlate with my signature at all??? The rest of that argument is a real stretch to say the very least and isn't worth commenting on.
In post 948, Klick wrote:Scum have no reason to get frustrated that they're getting ignored - getting ignored is generally good for scum. They don't need to be listened to, they just need to not be lynched. And if they're frustrated that they aren't being listened to, they're probably more frustrated with their scum play than their town play, and thus the game thread isn't their go-to place to vent that frustration.
This is just not true and is blind to all possibilities. Why couldn't he be mad that his case, which would not be on town, is not derailing a scum lynch? Isn't that a newbie tactic? Protecting too hard without actually mentioning a name?
In post 962, Klick wrote:That's just my opinion man, not sure why you don't like it
Because it seems more scum than town aligned.
In post 963, Klick wrote:I think you're using the anti-townbloc opinion to disrupt the town accomplishing things and push an agenda that is... not townreading people. Instead of putting effort towards something like getting people to vote with you on flippyNips, you're devoting a lot of energy into essentially nullifying the work of others. Again, what does this accomplish?
What work have I nullified? Yours and Hoopla's? What a coincidence? We've already agreed that flippy was a pressure vote so whooptedoo, that's why I'm not talking about him too much.
In post 969, bob3141 wrote:prana interesting that you would pick that out. Only after two other playesr but ignor my posts for you entirely

Let's be clear - not only is Hoopla right about the above but you are voting with barely a few days left (not sure without seeing a VC) on a wagon that is not currently gaining momentum. This vote is
worthless
.

I will reassess my vote based on the next vote count since we only have 2 days left.

This is
not
taking into considerations all advantages of the situation.

First, if you believed that there would be a protective role on Agar, then you would effectively know who that person is and would be able to manipulate the game so that person could stay hidden and hopefully protect YOU next or even better start a
town bloc


Second, I don't see the problem in "wasting" a shot by going on what seems like the most common choice. Gambits are...gambits by nature.
In post 1596, PranaDevil wrote:I don't check Agar, and he dies = "Of course he would die, you should have checked him".

You covered yourself for both bases.
I really really really don't see how you think the first one leads to a wagon right now.
In post 1596, PranaDevil wrote:You should not be announcing, in fucking thread, what the PR should be doing, because it turns the whole thing into WIFOM. I took a gamble that scum would take out the one person who was confirmed town.
No - this is based off of what you think. I don't know if it's town thinking but it's dead thinking anyway.
In post 1596, PranaDevil wrote:That gave them three people. Me, Agar and Una. I had two choices, and yet a 33% chance to hit scum. It was worse than a coin flip.

I'm starting to believe that Prana is just VI and not scum because the scum motivations for this move are becoming ever increasingly small. At the same time, the town motivations for this move are also very small.

But see the later seems a little more advanced for a VI. He would also guarantee death for tomorrow or scum is now plotting to leave him alive, if we leave him alive. But if you think down that far, then you're also going into the territory that now Prana doesn't know how to effectively use his PR ability, is an easy opportunistic mislynch if he's not scum, and basically serves no usefulness for the town.

At the end, I think this is a necessary lynch before any LYLO shenanigans if he is town and a win if he is scum. I think I am settled again.

Here's a better question -

Gypyx - what is the "theme" you see with this game?

Watcher was not on confirmed PR. Confirmed PR is dead. Watcher claims that he thought confirmed PR was being protected but also that he did not believe that. Either way, still not on PR.
