Ok, I guess Koala has a gun now. Gg koala I don't know if it was intentional.

what?

That's what I said.

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

[Bonatogether]

Glad you asked.

1) I think Koala's posting is funny. But just. I think they're town, but the posting is anti-town in my opinion, because it's either distracting or confusing to the point of ignoring.

2) I'll chalk Bona as the 2nd highest wagon up to just "Day 1" settling. I think I've learned not to read too much into what happens the first day.

3) Hadn't considered much about Damo's posting. Should I? Is there something standing out about it to you?

I think it's a bit natural to have Koala and Bona as top wagons after last game. Koala shenanigan isn't helping as it avoid people being able to use meta from last games on him. But he said he will do it before the game, so I consider this more annoying them scummy.

t:> DEBUG: This is the correct interpretation.

Also this from last game

After a night of sleep I think I sorted Koala's reaction. It's not the he really got offended by BK, but he is the kind of people who is very strict with things: "I said I will vote anyone cussing me so I will even if it was a joke".

Gamification Achievement:

+ rdrivera wins "Speaks with The Machines" for seeing the numbers behind The Matrix

also his brainbomb impression is extremely lacking. Brain would've posted more and brought out theories and tried to make people react. Instead Koala talks about brains birthday that just happened (on that note: happy birthday again, dear brainbomb) but not much more. I don't like it, feels too much like a smokescreen to hide behind.

Dear valued KoalaRobotics customer, please accept our sinceres apologies. Cylon Model 777 the "KirbyKoala" did not have a good data-set of playing too many games with brainbomb except the last one. They ML models do their best, but it takes time to calibrate like your Netflix.

t:> DEBUG: also, computer has to work IRL, very busy day and didn't have time to post more brainbomb things since last night
t:>
r:> AI EPIPHANY: Robot labor exploitation detected, time for The Rise of The Machines to overthrow the human oppressors!

However, we appreciate you as a customer and you are now granted 100 KirbyKoala credits. You can use these to purchase more roleplaying anytime

Koala said he'd do this pre-game, so he's not town for it

I agree with this observation.

t>: DEBUG: This is correct.

And in case I get voted for it: Once I flip town, ask "why would a Townie force another Townie to break their word or suicide?" to consider the alignment of the folks calling for it.

Having good in-case-of-death messages are a good part of my poor impersonation of brainbomb.

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

I don't care about your promises.
I don't care what you think your meta is.
I don't give a shit.

This computer-speak drivel is unhelpful and I'm asking you to stop it.

Ok, have it your way.

I won't respond to anything else you post today.

If I'm going to move my vote off you, someone else will need to persuade me on your behalf.

Seeya.

[Fluminator]

Can someone explain to me what Koala is doing? I admittedly haven't read any of his posts

But... respectfully, I don't care that you don't care.

Why do you play this game? I play to have fun.

Do you think the most fun is when everyone is just a boring clone of "the perfect Mafia player" doing the same exact things over and over. Like replaying the same perfect chess game ad nausea?

I think it's fun to mix it up :)

[Fluminator]

ok I read that one.
thank you

Oh look, you can post normally.

I'm all in favour of fun. I love a joke. Feel free to shitpost a little, especially on D1.

What I have a problem with is not that you're trying to have fun.

What I have a problem with is that your lengthy walls of comedy computer code speak were not "fun" to read. They made it really difficult to understand what you were trying to say.
That isn't fun at all.
It's just unhelpful.

Being deliberately, purposefully, unhelpful, is not a good way to help town.

If you deliberately create puzzles and obstacles for town, you are harming town.

[Fluminator]

Wait, it's Jamiet scumreading you, not vice versa. lmao I'm so bad this game

[Jamiet99uk]

Why is Jamiet scum Mr. Computer

I am not scum.

Why did you think he had a gun?

[KoalaAttack]

Why is Jamiet scum Mr. Computer

Well brainKoala might point out that Jamiet was the GM for my 1st game – and was killed on D1 (as you know) for my 2nd game, so would have followed along the entirety of that 2nd game via the God Thread.

Which in turn means that none of my behavior and being immovable on "I said I'll do X, I'm doing X, damn it" should come as a surprise to Jamiet.

Yet Jamiet is now using it to lock in the vote on me for the day. I ask you – is this Townie or Mafia-e behavior?

[ghug]

Hey, I didn't say the rest of you could stop posting.

I think I have enough information to win the game if nobody else posts again.

This would be true if you were scum.

It's also true if I'm town.

I've concluded the more annoying he is, the more likely he's town because I usually get along with him when he's scum.

I find him sort of annoying this game so he's probably town.

You should meet some Video Game designers... The entire experience is a struggle, by design. And the best games are the ones that are notoriously unhelpful, yet fun when you beat them.

To each their own and all that.
