How dare you…

I think I was going to comment on this earlier and then got work distracted, but this is a very scum Jamie post.

[ghug]

What makes you think you were wrong? Why did you consider it in the first place?

Idk, I was given some info on the setup as consolation for being VT but I don't know if it's worth outing it until I figure out just how much everyone including Mafia knows.

You were?!? I was not.

Anyone want to take bets on how much further boat read before replying to this?

[bozotheclown]

Where's bozo, I feel like he may give me some clarity with his analyses

I gave KoalaAttack a gun.

[bozotheclown]

We should probably have everyone claim and DK anyone who claims to be a PR.

Why do I feel you always only take the most cynical takes when it comes to my posting lol

I mean I don't see responding immediately upon reading it in catch-up as wise regardless of alignment.

When have I ever been described as wise

[Jamiet99uk]

Flum, can you remind me why you think Kak is town?

He said he has a gun in his first post.

(There's no way mafia missed that so idgaf if people say I'm outing PRs)

I initially missed this.

Not sure if Koala is indicating gun or some other power upon examination.

He responded to this about Kak, not Koala.

It seems both Fluminator and Worcej are confusing these two 'K's.

[Jamiet99uk]

this post underrates the importance of personality in people's town games

t>: Ooooh? Please expand! AI Models crave for data to train on, it's their 3rd game...

jamie being unhappy with minutae is something jamie always does, usually as town, but chaqa usually doesn't, because he's stoned out of his mind, so for chaqa to act like town jamie is not necessarily indicative of town chaqa

Chaqa is not in this game.

[Jamiet99uk]

no, you had a capital W
curious, because you seem to be taking this L

So what are you doing?

Taking the l ?

no u

that's literally what i said lmfao

No, you had a capital L.

[Jamiet99uk]

Probably 3 mafia but maybe 2 with the ability to convert T to S?

that's ... an interesting and at the same time frightening idea. I don't like the possibility of that. This could be easily one of the most overpowered mafia actions I can think of.

With people watching the traitors my fear is you might be onto something. Such a terrible mechanic, but I could see it.

@TFB This is an interesting post.

"Watching the traitors"?

Could you expand on this please?

So here is the thing – I am still confused by what you are all talking about. If I have a gun I didn't get the memo. But also, where / when did I say I have a gun?? So confused right now...

Kak jokingly claimed to have a gun.
Worcej can't tell the difference between you and Kak.
Fluminator lied about getting a message from the GM that suggested you had a gun.
Fluminator then went on to appear confused about whether you and Kak are different people.

Confusion abounds.

[Jamiet99uk]

So you believe I should be trying to beat you?

You assume we are on different teams?

Discuss.

OK this question is awesome – but this is deep and I need to get back to coding.

I promise to get back to this tonight – with my "how would brainbomb respond" filter on ... I can also give you a version with the filter off, but in DEBUG: code

brainKoala would probably say something borderline controversial about politics to try to troll you into response here judging from brain's D1 posting last game... I am not really sure I have the ability to do that.

But given that this is a closed setup and I've never played one before, my operating assumption is that I am surrounded by enemies unless proven otherwise!

It is quite obvious you are taking the meaning of the word "beat" intentionally out of context of how I used it here... so the million dollar question is: are you Mafia angling for a MK, or are you a Townie looking for Mafia-slips?

t:> If I weren't impersonating, I'd be asking experienced folks how the hell one goes about telling the game rules apart in a closed setup game right about now.
t:>
t:> But I can just continue entertaining myself with impersonating and hope it resolves itself out as the game plays out.

If you are working from the assumption that the majority of other players are your enemies, that implies you are scum since they are usually the minority.

I used the word "beat" in its normal sense: To defeat, overcome, etc.

[Jamiet99uk]

Also Koala, could you please post like a normal person, trying to read your posts gives me an aneurysm

Oh good, it was not just me.

[Jamiet99uk]

So you have reason to believe he is lurking deliberately and could actually participate?

A most terrible crime.

This is off.

OooooooOOoOooOoooo Ghug casting vague aspersions. How novel.

Comment now.

Scum in what way?

[Jamiet99uk]

Welcome, Bozo. I see you are in "clown" mode today.

[Jamiet99uk]

Fascinating. Bozo PR hunting on D1.

It’s a reality TV show loosely based off of Mafia. It basically combines parts of Survivor and Mafia to make this weird Chimera that is worse than the sum of their parts but still is admittedly fun TV

I used the word "beat" in its normal sense: To defeat, overcome, etc.

My statement in blue says:
- I have no experience with a closed setup
- so I assume everyone is an enemy until proven otherwise

Your statement in red says:
- somehow you inject the "majority" in there
- makes a flawed logical conclusion based on the incorrect assumption that I know what "usually" is in a closed setup ... especially since I literally just told you I have no idea

Your statement in pink says:
- you chose to take my original reference to Game Designers making games unhelpful as part of creating fun out of context of the philosophical discussion of "fun"
- and instead you chose to mis-construe it as having hidden meaning about which teams we are on respectively in this game


I mean, I can do this too... And BrainKoala would most definitely respond to your tinfoil with a tinfoil of their own!

You know, you just said that the normal sense of the word "beat" is to, and I quote, "To defeat, overcome, etc." ... But for a peaceful person, the normal sense of the word "beat" might just be about music, like "this is a cool beat" ... Unless of course you are a violent Mafia who is psychologically primed to defeat & overcome the peaceful Townies, right?

Oh wait, I am supposed to be impersonating BrainKoala, who did say last game they were trying a new thing to do less crazy tinfoil theories IIRC.


But this game of putting incorrect words into my mouth plus your sudden being taken aback by my attitude of stubbornly doing my own thing "and to hell with the consequences" despite GM-ing and GodThread-ing the last 2 games is unquestionably better theory than the random Mad Hatter Attack on Bona.

So, until a better theory is supplied:
