pardon me if this doesn't hold a lot of credibility with me

Bona has a point. Personally vouching based on prior experience doesn't mean anything factually right now. And aside from a bias towards trusting people with Princess in their names, I don't see any formal reason to unconditionally trust Neon at this time.

At the same time, I see no reason to be suspicious of her either.

you can always change your vote

can you say a little about why you were suspicious of eden?

no problemo wrt not having meta on people - that's just part of being new. i think once you get a handle on the different personalities it'll be a little easier

Eden was engaging and asking questions and lowkey felt like feeling me out, I'm used to being shushed or ignored in communities. Or otherwise told my own opinions don't matter. Affirmation makes me feel a little awkward and suspicious of others motives

Detective mentality, remember? I look for a motive on why people engage with me. But I'm used to clues, evidence, and other factual bits of logic puzzle rather than social cues.

ok.

the facts are spewing out from how people are interacting and perhaps the most crucial single piece of information is your alignment, because a lot of the action has centered around you, how people interact with you, and how other people react to those interactions. not necessarily now, but putting down some thoughts on some people (how about me/eden/sabi/byz/neon, as the main discussers in this part?) have been

Blah, the problem with reading people for me is htat it relies on turning a subjective impression into an objective viewpoint. Regardless of subjectivity, there is and isn't a correct interpetation of people's actions.

With more context on Eden, I'm less suspicious, I'm unopinionated towards Neon, not enough data. I 'm a tiny ashamed to admit I haven't paid too close attention to Sabi.

You seem pretty trustworthy, but that could just be engaging with a new player. Byz I don't know what to think about at this point watching the debate unfold on their behavior.

ok good, cuz the electric bill was higher than i thought after i got my new graphics card

now that sabi and bona went to bed, i bet we could have an entire page of posts quoting each other uninterrupted which would be totally unreadable for people who can’t figure out the difference between ‘president eden’ and ‘princess neon’

I ‘m a tiny ashamed to admit I haven’t paid too close attention to Sabi.

don’t be, you’ve already figured out the key

Rude.

Anyway Rumi I have mainly shitposted so far. When I post tomorrow it will actually be game related content so you can judge me based off that.

That's mostly why I haven't paid much attention, it was mostly shitposting from my perspective.

Coincidentally I'm now going to go play the game based on the anime this gif is from before I get banned from my guild for ignoring them

Quest writing habit. I generally sleep in quest topics. So I'll probably be here unless my computer's off (rare) or my browser closes.

I have very little balance between checking a forum and doing anything else.

what do you think of events thus far?

No idea. It feels like a ton of things I'm supposed to have opinions on I barely notice, but the things I do have opinions on are things I shouldn't. I don't know what to think anymore. Kinda lowkey feels like I should just sit down, shut up, and let the big kids do their thing because I'm out of place and don't really belong.

Was only suspicious of Eden because there was too much interest in engaging with me and feeling out my view that nobody else had done. I often assume if anyone is interested in me, my interests, my opinions, or just what I have to say, there's an ulterior motive

No no no keep talking.

[ghug]

Rumi besides the vote strategy, how would you like to play a day one? Since we currently have zero information (well except mafia because they know who isn't mafia) how do you go about that

there isn't zero info - you have your role

Hi bona

[ghug]

I think I follow you—you were thinking about proposing a plan that would force some action, which would trigger reactions from the other players that would allow us to sort.

As it happens, this sort of occurred; Byz voted you then decided your behavior was indicative of a newer town player, while I questioned your reasoning and haven’t stated my conclusion. What do you think about our two reactions?

For whatever reason, "I think I follow you" in this strikes me as scummy. Can't quite explain it, but it's too agreeable in a way that doesn't feel like it aims to solve. I'm usually pretty good at these feel reads.

Actually like this vote for more than just pressure.

I really like this post. Not so sure about Eden as I don't read him well, but many townie points to Byz

Blegh

for a just-so story that’s demonstrably untrue?

##VOTE rdrivera2005

my brother in Christ, you’re better than that when you’re town

O fuk it happened again

[ghug]

The irony is that I have typically said that we need to hammer more often, cuz people just obviously make up their minds and aren’t changing them, but let the game stagnate instead of moving on.

But I’m also too much of a softie to follow through usually.

What time zone are you?

Would you hammer bo so that he doesn’t have the opportunity to make the new folks feel unwelcome, though?

It took me an embarrassingly long time (read: until this post) to realize bo was actually in the game

You should get your sense of smell checked out.

for me, the 'agreeableness is vaguely scummy' and especially the 'i am pretty good at these feel reads' set off a ton of alarm bells - what about it makes you like it?

Are you bothered by ego from a stranger or is it something about byz specifically?
