Time.In post 25, Ramcius wrote:Equalizer of what?
I used to keep a literal metabinder of things that majorly differed between an individual's town games and mafia games, because I had the free time to read almost every game onsite.
Turns of phrase, post count, post density, post timing... there were a LOT of super-specific tells like that.
But now? I'm a father and I work full time and I don't have the time to do that. Automating part of that process, and then applying human logic to the patterns it detects? That could be incredibly useful.
And it'll march the arms race along further. But, you cannot stuff the genie back in the bottle. The working solution to countries obtaining nuclear weapons was never "That's unfair, you should stop doing that"; just as it was for the shotgun (Famously detested by the Germans during Trench Warfare) or the longbow, or the battering ram, or any other weapon in human history.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

Essentially, there's two "looks" for how this can go.
Look A: Players like myself and psyche develop our tools, and they stay with us, giving us an advantage
Look B: Players like myself and psyche develop our tools, post them for public use, and everyone advances their games.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

For instance, right now, I'm working on a PowerBI desktop (Free tool from Microsoft) script that ingests a game's worth of posts, and mines them for phrases and words of a given alignment. I tell the model who is town vs scum, and it tells me what words pop out to it.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

But like, Cabd, what if you told it to compare the same player in different games of each alignment?
Well, here's Morph the cat in two Micro games. One town, one mafia....
Spoiler: Mafia in Micro 231
Spoiler: Town in Micro 719
Does this data make you feel like you can solve morph's alignment in a third game with a very high rate of success?Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

I should mention all of this analysis is being done using the free Power BI tool from Microsoft: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop/
Using the "Web source" function and the "Word Cloud 2.0" visual.
And a bunch of Powerquery M under the hood to strip the HTML tags and assign alignments.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household
