im here for a good time not a long time

[Faker]

Pooky I'm pretty sure if the country gave you the nuclear codes every missle would be preemptively launched within minutes

and it's beautiful

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

they told me in the scum pt that its suicidal to pick 1 because "reasons" but I have never listened to good advice in my entire life so why start now.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I am fairly sure Nuclear weapons are a giant scam run by the globalists.

[Faker]

Let the record show I did in fact tell him that in the scum PT.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

the alternative would be that the world decided it would be a good idea to build thousands of nuclear weapons and aim them at each other so they could press a button and end the world and that frankly makes no sense to me

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

YOLO 2000 TSLA Calls is a great retirement strategy as far as I am concerned

[Faker]

It's because the idea of not hitting buttons is unfathomable to you. When you recognize that they build the button so that

choose

not to hit it, that's when you start submitting 14s.

Very offtopic but decent book on IR theory around nuclear proliferation, very accessible and strikes a balance on the theoretical and pragmatic.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

all the academic works on nuclear proliferation and strategic deterrance is just a bad marketing campaign.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

if you build nuclear weapons and a button that launches them

eventually someone will come along that is dumb enough to press it

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

think of how much money it took to build the thousands and thousands of nuclear weapons across the world.

and how much more money it will cost to "disarm" them.

it's all going straight into the pockets of the scammers who are selling us this "nuclear deterrence theory nonsense"

and there's no way they would ever get caught.

because if someone actually presses the button, the world will be more happy the nukes are a giant hoax then angry that they spent billions on weapons that don't actually work.

[Faker]

I bet it cost at least $10

[Faker]

It's hilarious to me that I have repeatedly managed to juggle several games between main and alt successfully without slipping, but twice now I have managed to slip while in 0 games on my main and 0 reason to even be logged in. Just incredible.

[northsidegal]

i was wondering why the name "faker" sounded familiar to me

anyways how do you like them apples SS, looks like picking nine every game finally didn't pay off. i considered also picking nine just for a laugh honestly

VOTE: mare

[northsidegal]

lime doctor. can you believe that? what are they gonna think of next

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Hi NSG

long time no see

very cute hat

[skitter30]

The last two runs of this setup have only a single scum draw over 10, with a meme submission of 69, and all 5 of the others are under 10. I have some theories on why this is, ranging from small sample size to player preferences independent of alignment, but I think there is some value in discussing how I'd approach the game as mafia.

I have personally and purposefully picked high numbers as scum in 2 separate iterations of this setup to ensure getting in before the doubles, so i think your sample size is just small

On a related note: VOTE: catboi

Also hi everyone!!!

And thanks for noting the vla schadd :)

[skitter30]

Missed a sentence.

I am more comfortable placing a vote on someone I've played with, and that leaves me to vote skitter over Andante. I don't know anything about Andante, but skitter had a high level of intentionality in Trust Fall, so I am comfortable voting her first.

Skitter picked 6 in a previous run as town (while S_S selected 9 as both alignments), but I'll let things sit for now.

Lol

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

mmm

you r up early

whatcha having for breakfast ?


:3

[Datisi]

heh, glad to know my faker alt guess was very much correct

i have some Thoughts on the draft numbers but they'll have to wait until i get out of bed and have coffee, so like

this is a glorified ego post basically

[Datisi]

imagine thinking when u can just establish a meta of always picking 1

hey, this is MY meta, what the fuck dude

okay, draft thoughts. i have a meta of always picking 1, and s_s has a meta of always picking 9. therefore, i think pooky and flow trap are +likely to be town, because it's likely that *someone* in the scumchate went like "hey, these two always pick the same numbers, we should like, not pick them". and if someone like skitter (who i'm pretty sure has played in those games and who would probably run some checks as scum) or nsg (who just openly admitted to being aware s_s always picks 9) flips red, that goes to +++town for pooky and flow.

moreso for flow than pooky, because i can imagine scum!pooky being aware of the above and then still picking 1 just to fucking troll me, but whatever.

[Datisi]

now, nobody's introduction especially pinged me as scummy, so...

VOTE: skitter how come you didn't rvs me this time?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

there can only be one highlander

[Sleepless Assassin]

Vote Innocentvillager

[Mare]

I town.
