M1026: ghughog Day [Game Thread]

[sweetandcool]

everyone else has been pretty unforced and mostly carefree.

bozo plan is interesting in a game where there are no quality game solvers to get behind. although I think Jamie and worcej have these skills, and damo does when he gives a shit. bozo never does day one. sweet can do it but has out of game commitments to focus on. and then ND is probably capable of game solving as he is an academic with a PHD. he just doesnt do a good job of relating to others so towns like to turn on him early for his abrasive superiority complex

I take this as a compliment. Thanks BB.

Take it as possible pocketing.

Oh, trust me - I have.

like already no one talks and now the few people who do are just going to repost themselves??

People need to fill a vacuum of sound sometimes?

Some people seem to take a perverse enjoyment from the fact that they recommended the theme. Which is silly. Do a groundhog day game in February, but it's not my show so w/e. I think it's more about the filler than anything.

@Brainburp

I'll start with your commentary on the 'Bozo' plan because that plan is something that a literal bozo would come up with. It's really not that interesting at all. It's just lazy. Point in fact, it's just bad. Full stop. And you hedge your language on this. Paraphrasing you, 'Oh well, gee, it's interesting if there are no quality game solvers to get behind.' -Everyone is capable of solving the game. I would expect nothing less for anyone who signs up to play a game where deductive reasoning is a key component of the game. Jesus. And, then you give this long litany of shorthand meta-analysis on people in the game. I guess to determine, if based on your meta read, if anyone is capable of fulfilling your arbitrary definition of a 'quality' game solver. And, you people call me insulting. Btw I am good but given that I am talking to myself half the time idk what that really accomplishes. I guess I'll get better at talking to myself.

Everyone has the potential and ability to read a post and make a conclusion based on what they are able to reason. Regarding me. I plan uninhibited. Have for years. I call it like I see it. Hate me for it. I don't care. What I have a conclusion, then I'll share it. And, lastly, for your gut read about Jam and myself. It's almost as big of a crackpot, hair-brained, theory as Bozo's lottery suggestion.

I missed your style.

Truthfully, it's refreshing to see someone stick to their guns and call it as it is.

And it is equally refreshing to see you actually engage with the discussion @Worcej.

Rest of the page is interesting. We have Jam and Ham playing to the meta and riffing off their simplistic and humorless posts from yesterday night. They both contributed next to nothing yesterday so there is only so long they can riff off each other before they run out of re-run content. Thank God almighty for that one. Continues the theme of Jam = Ham though.

Next. Brain makes some random post about Ham. And then Ham votes for Slippery because Slippery is on a vacation. It was probably Ham’s funniest post to date though but he just copied Damo so no credit. Important factor is Slippery voted for Brain and parroted my logic about Brain because it is undeniable with anyone more than one brain cell that Brain is extremely divorced from this game.

Honestly I was just trying to provoke a reaction. Brain omb and I tend to spar and I was hoping for something from them.

Right now Ham actually seems most suspicious to me. Not sure what to make of ND.

Ham's desire to vote me for a poor tasting joke and ND for being ND was the low effort. The shadow vote excuse was also meh too... but we're not in serious vote mode yet.

Similar thoughts. Agreed that it was low effort and lazy. Disagree on 'serious vote mode' though. It's a very low engagement game with a low amount of players. Completely conceivable to me that a lazy player or scum will just toss a vote and vanish. This hurts because it's not like this is a 20 person game. We get it wrong and the mafia are that much closer to winning.

Interesting. And what did this reaction tell you? Mentioning you are giving a reaction test is meaningless if you don't have any substance.

I didn't receive a reaction from them or anyone else, so it doesn't tell me much. I guess it makes brainbomb slightly safer, since there is a chance a teammate of theirs would attempt to deflect attention from brain.

Maybe damo or whoever else voted for me? Meh.

So, why did you even feel the need to mention this reaction if it didn't tell you anything of substance?

I think Jamie saying it is cool is NAI and on par for him - he likes game flavor and appreciates themes.

You're not wrong to stress the seriousness of the timetable due to the low volume of players. I am just saying that we're not outside joke mode by much and there is time for people to step up in content.

D2 is most likely MiLo, under the notion that we miss D1 and don't have a save on N1.

We had some very good news today from our anatomy scans for our baby. And work was alright but still a 10 hour shift. I dont know what specific thing I said was scummiest but I dont think ive been absent by any means.

Would love to hear the good news OOG if you'd want to share.

Otherwise - I don't think you've done anything scummy? Talk with Sweet

[brainbomb]

As far as I am aware sweet scumreads me because I havent found reasons to call him scummy yet.

Yep. There is a real crunch here which -not to be repetitive- means people need to step up. Although I'm not holding my breath. We will see.

Congratulations on the good news.

Perhaps you should read closer (Page 6) during my examination of slippery he said you were, paraphrasing, 'slightly safer.' At which point he steered off on Damo for voting for him. What do you make of that?

[ND]

Anyway, I'm tired. This has been draining. Good night.

[sweetandcool]

I think it's time to go Ham!

Erm, I mean ##VOTE Ham

I'm feeling uneasy about some but worst about Ham.

Voting now in case I miss it later.

[bozotheclown]

No, I object to that!

Do you think you can do better than 25% in identify mafia and getting them DKed D1?

I mean you can actually read the game and ask questions instead of coming up with a crackpot, hair-brained 'lottery drawing' lol

I disagree with your characterization of my suggestion.

[bozotheclown]

No, I object to that!

Do you think you can do better than 25% in identify mafia and getting them DKed D1?

Assume I'm town, and if you are town then randomly voting for someone else gives 50%, which is a lot more exciting that 25%.

I think that would be more like 33%, but me voting for a mafia does not help if that player is not the DK.

When is EOD UK time please?
