Open 884: Another Newbie Game | Game Over!

hi

VOTE: gamma

[Infinity 324]

generally games start by voting random people to get reactions and stuff

[Infinity 324]

I like Dannflor right now. He's provided several reads on the current goings on in the game and that's always a good thing for getting us out of RVS and progressing the game. Do I agree with his sus read on Kitty? Ehh idk. Seeing Kitty trying to prompt activity from the game is a very big change of pace from our last game together where Kitty ended up being one of the more inactive players, but that was also a very different environment since there were a lot of big active players in that game.

In theory if someone's playing differently from the last time I played with them and they were town in that scenario, I should be sus, but I like the attitude from Kitty so far even if I recognise it's outside of my experience with em, so it prolly falls to a null read for now.

VOTE: oopsie this feeling overworded and a bit lamist. agree with the dann read though

[Infinity 324]

VOTE: purplemango
From that reaction, I feel like the initial question was a throwaway to enter the game with

? why is it not just being curious

[Infinity 324]

what do you think of the people who voted you for that post?

[Infinity 324]

Hmm maybe I do need to look at the people voting me more closely then.

idk is mr k being the third vote on you rather than the second really that different?

don't feel too great about nitpicking the person who's trying to get the game moving most but i feel like she might be scum and not too much else is sticking out to me


gamma feels somewhat towny, i like 69

[Infinity 324]

Like would I just say "huh I guess we played before"? Dann, honest question, what would you expect such a response to look like?

nothing, i made up a reason to scum read you

sorry

wait why. like what response were you expecting

[Infinity 324]

and i kind of have a theory that the fact that pretty much everyone else just ignored my post about kitty points towards kitty being town

huh why

[Infinity 324]

mmm I kinda forgot what I was thinking

something about how I lead with pretty weak reasoning and I thought scum would be very hesitant to sheep that but also wouldn't want to challenge it either because a townie scum reading another townie confidently is always good yeah?

mm i like this thought process

[Infinity 324]

@Infinity what's your opinion on oopsie atp?

i think she's >rand scum, nothing she's really done has made me want to townread her, and her thoughts have felt a bit surface level still though it's early. why do you ask?

[Infinity 324]

112 feels like a towny-biased read focusing on her vote on dunn more than anything else, but disclaimer i have a terrible history of reading dunn.


i like 116 for similar reasons. also tending to think the inactives might be scum cause i have so many weak townreads but ehh

usually it feels easier to get the game going idk

[Infinity 324]

i think it does when a player has posted enough, and she's getting there at least. and 35 pinged me.

how do you feel about mr k

[Infinity 324]

how do you feel about mr k

@gamma

[Infinity 324]

theoretically this checks out for how gamma would play as town but it doesn't feel the same for whatever reason

[Infinity 324]

mm 153 reads towny to me though

[Infinity 324]

VOTE: cook my heart isn't in this daisy vote let's try this

[Infinity 324]

Yeah I’m okay with gamma towny for right now

I don't really understand what you guys are saying above

is this at me too?

[Infinity 324]

very sleep-deprived but i'm still ok with my vote

[Infinity 324]

VOTE: cook my heart isn't in this daisy vote let's try this

very sleep-deprived but i'm still ok with my vote

This vote seems particularly weak. It's not clear why you are voting for cook or why you are still ok with it.

it was pretty weak ig, i wanted to vote in the less active slots cause i had a bunch of townreads from the people who were posting. will get to this more deeply today or tomorrow

[Infinity 324]

yes i am demotivated

[Infinity 324]

in general

Who were your townreads?

you, mr k, dann, gamma, purple to varying degrees

[Infinity 324]

dann why is kitty scum besides the overjustification, do you think the "scum would claim vt" thing is scummy from kitty?

[Infinity 324]

theoretically this checks out for how gamma would play as town but it doesn't feel the same for whatever reason

Could you dive into what your thought process behind this was a bit more?

i saw the ~solving but not trying to look like you're solving~ that i generally associate with town!you but fsr the gut feeling of you strongly being town wasn't there in the same way, i think it's probably cause you're just getting back into mafia though

[Infinity 324]

What I now just noticed - probably because I now think Purplemango is town - was #186 which now in hindsight feels town.

this is really organic imo

pedit ok fair

yeah i wanna just try to poe this thing but scum are usually in my nulltowns anyway so bleh

[Infinity 324]

i don't think i can recall a single kitty post so

pedit: ooh ok lemme look

let's say kitty is scum then gamma/dunn/purple i need to figure out which of those my reasons for tr'ing are wrong

that's a smaller pool than i thought hm

[Infinity 324]

there's nothing really stopping dunn from being scum but he's pretty solidly in the "solving without trying to look like he's solving" category

pedit mmhm

[Infinity 324]

ahh yeah gamma's read on you would be tough to fake

pedit who is scum (if i'm town)

like ok say instead of kitty just being scum you have {gamma, dunn, kitty, purple} as my poe that makes more sense and maybe remove you

[Infinity 324]

maybe dann being a deepwolf is more likely haha but if so he deserves to win he out efforted all of us

[Infinity 324]

98 is somewhat towny but he's my weakest tr

VOTE: kitty

[Infinity 324]

maybe dann being a deepwolf is more likely haha but if so he deserves to win he out efforted all of us

im kinda suspicious ur not considering this possibility more

I don’t think i’ve been like exceptionally towny

maybe i should be, it's just i don't often see scum being the top poster in dead-ish games

[Infinity 324]

it's at you

[Infinity 324]

ahh yeah gamma's read on you would be tough to fake

What is this referring to?

gamma's read on dann (160, 187, 214)

[Infinity 324]

who do you most think is scum, purple?

[Infinity 324]

idk infinity has no scum reads and that doesn't feel right to me so im fine just eliminating her

i pretty often have no scumreads

[Infinity 324]

mr k's read on kitty seems fine to me?

pedit: huh why

[Infinity 324]

?? why

[Infinity 324]

Make sense
It also doesn't really help to know if infinity are scum or not, maybe we are both scum and planned everything in advance to make it believable or something

VOTE: purplemango i don't love this, it seems like trying to get townread by wifom more than anything else

should probably do some isos atp but I feel like I should reconsider dann

[Infinity 324]

maybe you thought people would townread you because "scum wouldn't talk about how they could be scum"

i just don't really get why that's your focus instead of finding mafia

[Infinity 324]

it makes sense, and i could see you being town here, but other people look more town to me

[Infinity 324]

infinity paying lip service to the idea of reconsidering my slot but instead pushing purplemango feels ????

I need to iso you but I don't think you're scum

[Infinity 324]

dunn/purple maybe

[Infinity 324]

yes i should probably iso dann. but i feel like i've made clear that i don't really scumread him atp? at least i thought it made it clear. like he's consistently trying to get the dead game going + he had a good tr on gamma + idk it just doesn't really feel like he's scum

[Infinity 324]

You are the one who said that you should reconsider Dann.

ok i "should" but i don't feel like it

[Infinity 324]

gamma is town

[Infinity 324]

purple about how many mafia games have you played?

[Infinity 324]

ugh

i'm a jk i jk'ed dann

[Infinity 324]

gj town, sorry I played like...that
