Regardless, if this is simply in jest and your goal is to become readable, it encourages you to please consider engaging with the game in other ways. Even if that means you decide to run through everything it has written and disagree with all of it and make a point of it or something, it doesn't care. It just can't see any value in this, and it's making it harder to interact. It didn't say much at first because it thought it was a one time joke but it hasn't yet ended so...

In post 242, Oblivion wrote: So how is it meant to take it? If it takes it at face value, then it's an in-group building based upon how you connect with seemingly little other than past experiences, for the sake of town blocking.

If it's meant as a joke, then it's worse because it's accomplishing the same thing, except none of the content from said coalition is even usable because the argument will be "well don't take it too seriously" anytime someone tries to interrogate the behaviour on display. It's like Schrodinger's Cat, it's serious, unless it's not, and it's only not serious when you need to say it isn't?

It just feels frustrating because it makes it impossible to generate models on any of you because if the idea is "we're going to troll, but actually we're also building this too, but we're only joking" what is it meant to think?

Do you have any reads beyond town on the people you're doing this with?
They would like to inform It that Not_Mafia would be an enigma and It should avoid them at all costs.

For clarity, it is using Town Block derogatively, because these things nearly always have some form of scum infiltrate them and then sit there unmolested being protected by those who don't change their mind. It has no desire to belong to any town block, it thinks they are detrimental to game health and solving ability. There are a few setups where it could see something of that nature being valuable? A setup where finding townies is more valuable than finding scum, off the top of its head but it doesn't know what a setup like that would begin to look like.

It is just in its experience these in-groups take control and then ignore everything else and then poof, there is no hope.

It tries to be understanding of others playstyles and it gets wanting to have trusted elements to bounce ideas off of, but that doesn't mean it has to like or support when it sees one possibly forming? Especially when it can't evaluate what makes any members of it actually town, making it hard to make mental models of anything.

Can it interject with an argument for why your suggested viewpoint is facile or should it wait for this person to answer the question first?
