Why.
Don't think this will go anywhere considering who's playing, whats your plan if someone disregards your idea of trying to play to sensible guidelines?
Lynch?
Yep, he did it in-

It was my first game. I got lynched day2 for being shifty which apparently is just how I play, we've learned, I guess. Sigh. You know. But it was such a weird move that it stuck out in my head as I watched that game play out and it's why I pointed it out here, too. A cop claim, even a casual one, a softclaim, a joke claim, whatever, is always going to steer conversation. Not all of it. But it will be there, lurking. And if it's true, why out self as a PR d1, first post?
Neither, I'm sorry. That post was very ill-worded. I'm saying it puts the doctor, if we have one, in a bad position. They now have to add "do I protect Squidy?" to any other questions of whom to cover tonight and have to spiral trying to weigh his claim against anything else going on in the game. Just as everyone has has to be all - do we trust him? Do we weigh his words against other actions? It forces something immediate and potentially artificial. Maybe there's a method there. But I'm thinking back to anime and wondering if it helped or if it distracted.

How does it progress your character arcs to philosophise on the true nature of meaningful contribution

In any movie/book/tv show I have ever read the first thing people do when they have been sequestered somewhere is look for some sort of identifying link.
I personally think I am here because I play a very open game and am not adverse to openly building alliances rather than just relying on slight coercion. Also because I screwed up the end of Arkham which was pretty bad (still screw you Bronx).

Not a doctor. And that was, for me, the easiest to speak to of the three threads I wanted to address before lunch, so it came first. Why are you so concerned with the order of my posts? Does it matter in the grand scheme?

In old oral storytelling where tales are passed from generation to generation by recital from memory, there are pieces often told accompanied by a group dance. The physical aspect of the dance's steps in lock of correspondence with the point-by-point progression of the story's recital, helps to identify errors in its telling; if one steps out of line according to their own memory of the story, the error is noted by the others and that individual is corrected, thereby ensuring the proper version is preserved among participants

Because I'm inactive! You caught me!
Fuck, we all got pulled for this game because we're deductive geniuses! I've solved the case!
On that note, we all know d1 reads are shit. But can we not pretend we legitimately can't tell the difference between contributing and shitposting or wasting time
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
And further from that definition, discussion leading up to solution (in this case, finding out who's Mafia) is only possible when you "contribute" accordingly

If day 1 reads are all shit then why is using a defined metric like number of posts such a bad idea.

Sarcasm is not wildly helpful.
I'm not against lynching inactives, but every game I've played the consensus has been against doing so and thus I'd prefer not to waste time on it.
cabot
Why.
And we'll never know whether that is the real reason you were chosen in this game because the moderator doesn't offer the thoughts.
Again, why does this help in the general goal of hunting the scum?

Does it hinder hunting scum?
Why are you being so precious about giving a reason for being picked for this game?
flatearthpandas
Round Moon Bears
Because then you can do nothing but shitpost without fear of lynch.
Contributing means convince me you're trying even if d1 is hard. Looking back at d1 is enlightening later in the game. Not so if we're just lynching least posts. What a stupid fucking idea. And it's not even what squid actually suggested.

It does actually.
Easy topic to jump to if you're scum and isn't in your best interests to hunt scum.
I clearly feel your path of thought is pointless, so why should I indulge you

So you claimed I was using a conversation starter as a deflection tactic yet instead of either answering and moving on or simply ignoring it, you have turned it into a thing to get sidetracked by. Have I fallen into your trap of distracting me?
and anyway cabot had already answered in such a way to negate the whole line of thought emoji anyway so just fuck me generally.
I do not think it is particularly fruitful to focus on why we were picked, no. It probably won't reveal much if anything. But I do think it's a natural question and not necessarily alignment indicative. I wonder what pushing against that so much will yield. Would a scumFaddy buckle so quickly over this kind of question? Will the questioning yield any more than the original question?

You say you can read faddy well. What serious answer could he be legitimate expecting? I literally already explained my position in the post Faddy was responding. His response was s "hot take".
Detracting from the conversation is worse than posting nothing at all.
Or
Not posting is preferable to stupid bullshit.
Or
I will vote shitposts over inactives.
Or
Until i find scum, my vote stays on stupid.

1. I said it was a pointless discussion because it's based on nothing more than conjecture, nothing based from the game itself.
2. Considering you wanted other people to do it, offering my thoughts on why this is pointless is relevant
3. It's been about 15 hours and there are people yet to post, I've also covered some other folk in the thread so far.

That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on an emote of fuss suspended in a white screen.
That emote is a very small sage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a thought. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planning is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
That emote is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment that emote is where we understand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pasted yellow dot, the only home we've ever known.

Yes. Pushing anti-town agenda while town is still in discussion about how to approach the game. On post-to-post basis, IIRC, Faddy posts a bunch of shit but can be insightful. So the only player non-ironically arguing for bad town play right now imo.

Fucking Christ, blarg.
Blarg, you are my favorite.
So, listen. I think it's actually pretty simple in this case. We are here because Ouro, Self-Appointed Mafia God of Being Forever Right, doesn't like something about how we play. Maybe a one-off thing, maybe a regular thing, who knows, it's all his whim. So Ouro, Self-Appointed Mafia God of Being Forever Right, wants to learn us.
Let's rebel and just do the damn thing harder. BLARG, DEPLOY THE GIFS.

Claiming Cop is a perfectly valid strategy.
So if we believe him, we should lynch him? The gambit would be if he was lying about it. Claiming early and being truthful isn't a gambit, it's just dumb.
This is extremely stupid. We're all clearly here because Ouro either finds enjoyment playing with us or hates it so much that he wants to push some suffering on the others.
This is dumb too but less so than Faddy's. This isn't a game with new people. We all at least know of each other if not have directly played with each other before. This reeks of giving people an excuse to post without having to do much. I think the only positive is that no one really took the opportunity.
Yes, I know, we've done this whole song and dance before on point 1. Day 1 still has important notes if you actually pay attention. Scum has to get their footing somehow and they don't always blend in perfectly right from the start.
Ah yes, there it is. If nothing else, I'll actually town read this since I've now seen first hand how mortified you are to be yourself when you're scum.

Your reaction to Squidy's "claim" seems the most suspicious (followed closely by Faddy's homework assignment). I don't think you actually believe he is a cop either so it's not exactly chomping at the bit trying to lynch a cop in broad daylight but I do think you see an easy reversal using his own words against him even if your logic doesn't make sense.

So Sorian does Ouro enjoy playing with you or hate you?
Could you please separate the players in this game into those 2 categories. Thanks.
Well, he certainly sends me a lot of rage mail whenever I'm still alive in a game and he's died.
But no, I can't and I don't care to because it tells me nothing about alignment.
