Open 879: Fire and More Fire [game over]

[Doctor Drew]

This is gonna be a bit of herky jerky catch up, seems like we are just leaving RVS anyways.

Osuka is being Osuka I see, tbh they actually seem toned down a bit, actually a bit less aggressive....let's see if I can fire(eh? See what I didn't there) them up a bit.

Not sure why recognizing or not recognizing people has been a topic of discussion, but I know everyone and no one.

Howdy Bingle, howdy Merlyn, howdy Black(glad you didn't get blown away), howdy Sky....etc etc.

Just a heads up, there was a crazy wind storm in my city last night and power is out everywhere. It must have messed with my phone service provider because I can't even connect to 5G at my apartment. There are estimates my power will be out for several days so I'm not really sure what to expect here. Either way I'll catch up when I'm able to get internet at home

Jeez, hope you're okay Black!

Merlyn goes in my locktown bin because she's the only person that cares about me

VOTE: Firebringer

if you pick out all the capitalized letters in Firebringer's posts it spells out "I am the scum" VOTE: Firebringer

Let's run FB up until he decides to post something else

And if he doesn't? Send the wagon over the cliff and don't even look back

Are we really talking a policy lim here? FB just really likes GeorgeBailely.

VOTE: invis

Consider this a vote for Black as well.

Also, I agree with Bingle that scum will definitely be trying to signal to each other, was that Asuka saying that is crazy? That kind makes me think they don't want town looking for the signals, like 'nothing to see here, move along'.

[Skygazer]

Skygazer can you scumhunt please I wanna townread you on vibes but I'm too smart to do that again

i've been hanging out w someone i have a crush on since the game has started

ooooo who is it

you don't know her she goes to another school in like uh canada

[Skygazer]

hi drew!

[Ausuka]

I think "signalling to other scum" is a really fundamentally extremely obviously idiotic idea and I am curious about why Bingle does not.seem to think that

I mean when scum not recognizing each other runs the risk of losing Night 1 to shooting each other... I think the play makes sense if you think you could pull it off.

I do not necessarily agree that that's actually what happened, but it's not really that outlandish.

Why would you think you could pull it off in any situation? Again, mafia don't have any idea who the other mafia are so they can't somehow target the soft

I guess if you think this too Bingle might have come to the same conclusion but meh

The game's essentially a pseudo-multiball arrangement, only the scumteams don't want to kill each other.

While identities aren't known, you have an advantage in scumhunting and can potentially make subtle probes about it.

There's the risk of getting caught, yes, but the risk of getting shot is worse in this setup, so depending on scum's confidence level it's something I do expect to happen.

I mean maybe this could be the case later although I'm personally very skeptical such a subtle way exists and especially that it could work only on scum

I think if you're scum and you don't want to get shot the obvious solution is to slightly scum it up if you're getting too townread and I think maybe it's worth looking out for people doing that if we're going down this route

Personally I think if Bingle was town and came up with this genuinely it is less likely he would be trying to set up rhetorical traps like he was trying to win a debate on Twitter - like I don't really get the feeling from his posting that he doesn't know my alignment here

[Ausuka]

Is it really that crazy to think it is obviously unwise to try and target two specific people you don't have any knowledge of in a pool of fifteen and expect it to work

I mean really

[Umlaut]

I like that Meuh likes me.

Ausuka, are you really scumreading Bingle just for having an idea you disagree with? That's... pretty weak. And I'm saying that as someone who agrees more with you than with Bingle on this (that trying to signal the other team is a bad idea, compared to just trying not to be so super-townread that you get shot or something if you are really worried about that)

[osuka]

I think the 'insult' in question was you saying I'm actively killing your braincells, which, tbf, I don't find all that insulting, given that I've got about half of the thread beat on postcount with just my shitposts.

i never said that?

[Skygazer]

That's a fast crush

mafia puts me in the mood i guess

[osuka]

here ill quote it so everyone whos confused can just re-read until they understand what it says

you dont have any, they're reserved for people ive played with in the past and who werent actively killing my brain cells

[Doctor Drew]

Ooh enter the game on a page top.

Ausuka, unless Bingle is scum specifically with you, they don't know your alignment.

Can you explain how this is a scum read?

[Skygazer]

Skygazer can you scumhunt please I wanna townread you on vibes but I'm too smart to do that again

i've been hanging out w someone i have a crush on since the game has started

Simple... get them to hydra with you

last time i hung w her i started talking at her about mafia and she gave me a blank stare and i got self conscious and stopped

[Skygazer]

I have to townread skygazer for the phanpy

it was forced upon me

[Skygazer]

if anyone wants to guess how many shots of vodka i've had i'll give you my vote

[Bingle]

Now you're just being mean. Forgetting poor old Jingle, not knowing of our deep and abiding history. You're gonna make me cry.

Hm i mean true but like, I don't really feel like he cares and I also think probably for scum they will treat people as town for them to push unless they have reason to think otherwise. At least that's intuitive to me

"I would like to thank you for illustrating to the rest of the players why it potentially being signalling is scummy." is again something I feel like comes more from a place of trying to like win a debate or whatever vs sorting

I mean really

Well, like I said I don't agree with Bingle that you actually were doing that. I think it was too early for such an attempt, and if I were scum it isn't something I would have interpreted as a signal.

But I also don't think it's such an unreasonable thought that Bingle has to be scum doing it.

[Bingle]

Like cumulatively?

Hmmm... assuming you've been drinking for ~ten years, we'll say average amount of specifically vodka to be ~2 shots a week to accommodate other types of alcohols and dry spells, my guess is 1400 shots.
