Mini Normal 2329: complex. [game over!]

[Psyche]

who's gonna tell naerys that she accidentally joined the "assume stuff about what's going on in people's heads" game

[Klick]

Can you stop asuming stuff about whats going in my head? Thanks, good night

No, because we're playing a game of Mafia. Because you threw a tantrum over what people thought in a Mafia game, I'm now supposed to deduce whether you were doing it genuinely because you're town, or whether you were trying to emotionally manipulate people into not eliminating you. Several people think the latter, and I believe it was the former. Your attitude towards the game during and since then has not clarified the matter at all. And so I'm going to continue trying to clarify what I believe happened there, because I'm here to play a game of Mafia and solve for people's alignments in this game of Mafia.

LMFAO

Naerys
Hu Tao
KayJayQueue

Titus
NotAScum
Aristeia
geraintm
Political Clout
Dannflor
davesaz
Psyche

I looked through NotAScum's ISO again and while I'm not like super sold on him being town, I do think he's more likely to be town than scum

I kind of like how his focus on Hu Tao feels. It has such a detachment from everything else going on in the game. Seriously, ISO NAS and see how his progression on Hu Tao looks. He has a nagging suspicion there from start to finish. I wouldn't call finding Hu Tao scummy much of a natural political take, especially at this stage of the game. And so the way that read just kind of persists makes me feel like it might just be there because... NAS just actually believes Hu Tao is scummy.

Like I said, not that strong of a read, but I think there could be something there

the annoying part about all this is that town do emotional manipulation all the time. i do it almost every time i'm close to being limmed. what is a temper tantrum anyway if not an attempt as emotional manipulation. in this essay, i will explain why notascum is still the best choice for elimination

Mini Normal 2325 makes me less convinced of Psyche-town

I thought your scum play there was particularly good. Do you think you're a good scum player Psyche

[Random Nurse]

Titus, PC, why are you on Aristeia and not Naerys?

[Random Nurse]

think dann is town. kind of curious why hu tao keeps him in her pool

He's good as scum. Can look towny

How is Dann as Scum?

Does he normally refuse to work with Tiwn especially ICs?

Is that truly your impression?

[Dannflor]

I've been trying to engage with you by explaining where I disagree with your takes and you have taken that as I don't want to work with you

[Klick]

I think dave could pretty easily be scum
I think he's staying out of the way and letting people fight while having relatively little impact
He's not trying to assert his opinion in the way I remember him trying to do so as town years ago
He seems to have little sense of agency for how things are going up to this point

I've had dave in the back of my head for a little while as UTR scum but what is there doesn't feel substantial enough to push through to an elimination and also I don't really want to push there and be wrong

[Psyche]

what is everybody's read on dave

to be fair to dave, dave has a passive style that makes him hard to read in general because you can't consistently use questions like "is this person trying to get scum executed?" to sort him
that said my hunch is he's scum and if my notascum read plays out how i expect then i will probably call for dave's head and then get roundly ignored

[Dannflor]

VOTE: notascum for now

[Psyche]

is it too whiny and persecution complexy to suggest ive been ignored re notascum? maybe ok more than maybe

My experience thus far has been you ignoring and shooting down my ideas and questions. I suspect you may be Town so I want to bounce ideas off you, you know, that whole trust thing Klick keeps talking incessantly about. I'm open to listening to your ideas, provided you are open to listening to mine.

[Dannflor]

sorry klick i don't really vibe with your read on him at all

I think tunneling on one slot in a rather isolated fashion is a rather common strategy for scum to employ. it makes it easy to make real looking posts without having to expend a lot of energy. i think 910 feels more like a question scum would ask than town would ask
