Things are heating up. Interesting to see the sparring going on but cannot make much sense of it yet. Want to wait to see how the early spammers adjust to the more serious tone.

Not making sense of it is good.  Do you have any feelings?  It’s fine if they’re light or insubstantial.

Try feta in brine instead of olive juice.  Game changer.


Gorgonzola is even better

So as not to muddy the water, my 3p question was all sarcasm - Key was specific about there being only town and mafia lol

And on a different point of DPR Teph interaction, a reads list just shows the state of your thoughts, a WTE list this early is a bit strange. Seems far too definitive a question, a bit leading really. Not sure what to make of it though.

dly he got DPR'S drink wrong. DPR said he was having a martini, which is either gin or vodka.

 

Damnit! You're right!

Im gonna make an xxl martini. Then we’re gonna discuss this nonsense

 

Only excuse I have is I made that post near my bed time, and you'll never believe this... But actually googled "what's in a martini" and then I was like, wtf did Google Auto correct margarita to martini?

 

Here's a rare glimpse into my mind, lmao

@Ithillian Turambar will be helping with vote counts, but will be unspoilered so she can be a back up!

View from the crows nest: 

 

I feel like some folks came out of the gates a little hot lol. It’s probably enthusiasm, but I can also squint and see motivation to repeat last game’s so-crazy-it-might-just-work magic. 

@SinisterDeath you’ve given your reason for prompting discussion but I still have 2 questions: 

 

Why not give it a little more time to see if your plan worked before stating what your purpose was? Your admission of your purpose  lets the non-participants know your plan and they can slide in with excuses, real or other, nullifying your results? 

 

What’s up with all the italics? I was going to wait to ask but since you are explaining things, what is the purpose of over emphasizing so many points?

 

This was a nothing-burger to me.

I don’t agree but this perspective seems hard for a new wolf.  +1 point

Not really liking the enthusiasm of Teph and SD, but it is early doors, don't want to put that down as AI atp. Feel you are playing a game, structured approach, doubt it is AI, but will make reads awkward as tone will difficult to read. Turin and Tigs both feel natural (not tying them together, they aren't a pair). DPR and GK I don't really have any reads on at all, doesn't feel natural nor particularly forced. Dice hasn't pinged me really at all yet. 

 

Sorry if I missed anyone. No strong feels about anyone so far.

I'm going to have to do this the whole game, aren't I? Explain my jokes and sarcasm.  @Gabriel Kross and @SinisterDeath instead of spoiler tags, I'll do sarcasm tags 🤣

Lol

 

More like, explain the joke tags.

That went over my head.

I think I'm still lost.

A 3 player WTL is a different thing than a reads list

Tbf, I still don't know half these damn acronyms.

 

You have a list of how games people have played in right? What's my count at these days? 4, 5? (In 20 years on DM)

SD is trying to jump on any WIFOM he can find.

I'll have to look up that term, because my anime brain is reading that as Waifu, and I don't like that. Lol

Wtl - would like to lynch (I don't use the L-word, so you can also substitute E for elimination. 

WIFOM - wine in front of me, the princess bride, basically the never ending circle of is it what it appears, a bluff, a double bluff, etc. I know that you know that I know that you know...

WTL = Willing To Lynch - bit of a difference from “would like to” lol

 

When did Eliminate become a thing? Sounds like something a doctor would ask

I advocated that all townies in that situation should be willing (enthusiastic even) to proclaim themselves town just to make it easier to allow a potential LD to scan whoever they wanted to without drawing attention to themselves. It had the added psychological advantage that mafia would be resistant to do so, and that it might plant the seed in their heads that they had to avoid using directly checkable statements in conversation. There were 2 issues with this plans effectiveness:

1. The confirmed townie couldn't get past that it wasn't a role claim and discarded the idea.  

2. The mafia nearly outnumbered the town so there wasn't sufficient peer pressure.

 

Despite the difficulty the 3 players  I noted as giving the most push back about the plan were ALL MAFIA. Furthermore,  2 of them used the same awkward language I predicted later in the game.

 

In conclusion, the fact that the primary reason is only helpful to town, makes this a viable thing imo whether you believe the second part or not. 

As I mentioned prior, I have only a handful of games under my belt here... I literally do not know all the acronyms, and if ya'll are using custom ones that aren't in the dictionaries I have no idea what you're saying.

 

With that in mind it seems to me, that proclaiming you're town early is a double edged sword.

 

A Wolf can go and quote someone that proclaimed they were a Townie on Day 1, in conjunction with  evidence contradictory statements to proclaim that said townie is in fact, a wolf.

A Wolf can also quote someone that proclaimed they were a Townie on Day 1, in conjunction with town leaning evidence as to why that person is definitely a town.

Obviously a Townie can do the same thing and claim that the person is a Wolf.

But you also fall into the trap that the Wolf or the Townie can also say [____] never claimed town, thus they must be a [___]!

So, are you trying to get everyone here to proclaim themselves a Townie so you can later use that against them or to support their town claim as it behooves you? 😉

It’s the opposite - a reads list should include reasons for why you see things the way you do, thus giving the game insight into your thought process. A WTL (E) is a lighter version of reads that skips the reasons but also gives insight into your thought process

It is just a neutral word. I can see that in some situations "lynch" would be a charged word and after reading about it online I also realised how difficult it would be to stop using it if it made someone uncomfortable. Plus as my name is literally Mr Lynch, I decided to attempt to simply not to use the word. As a personal decision. 

 

Same difference about would like to/willing, but I accept the correction, my bad.

I see what you mean but it presupposes that the reads list contains enough mafia leans to run up or start a train on. That is what I meant.

Sadly, no. Turin suffers from a rare but tragic condition known as Mendacium Detector. Those who suffer this affliction can never rest for suspicion that everyone is attempting to deceive them. The only cure is an individual qualified to say beyond doubt that another person is, in fact, stating the truth.

LD means lie detector, a power role so if there is one, or even the chance there is one, it can make people wary of outright telling obvious lies. 

 

We don't know if there is one, but is it AI if someone refuses to state they are town openly?

And that’s the game - to be able to see a list for its merits or a list of reasons that seem honest, but are not. If that makes sense
