M 90: Shootout at the Pretty Good Corral

I honestly can’t tell with him. His self assessment seems off. But I believe him to be a good chess player. So I believe he is aware what strong play and ability is.

But he also has made statements that suggest he thinks he’s a strong mathematician. And now the spades statement. I think his calibration may be off. But I honestly don’t know.

but he's deffo town, right?

No. Still random. Like worcej, he’s banking on his game helping his scum game. By proving a point that we’re dumb (as a community) about the meta currently being used.

likely town then

Odds getting worse every time town is eliminated…

Well yeah but I bet he is.

I literally am a Mathematician. Not necessarily a strong one. I know plenty of others much stronger than myself.

What does that mean to you? Like, that’s what I can never tell. You use words, and I don’t know what they mean. But I don’t know any mathematicians who seem to use words without meaning.


What I meant above is, I honestly can’t tell who you are. At once you seem self aware, but then at another time seem to use words that can’t possibly mean what I think most people of that community would define that way.

I misspoke about Spades, I'm simply good at it.

I have a Graduate degree in Mathematics and engage in Math related behavior during my free time sometimes. So I would say I am a mathematician.

Okay I should own it, "misspoke" is generous. I was lying (I am good at it though).

I was wounded by your comments. I absolutely love team games, but I rarely get to play them because I hardly have anyone to play with.

Growing up I played Basketball all day everyday. I was pretty darn good, probably Varsity level but certainly at least JV.

But for two years in a row I didn't make the team. This was due to having no friends trying out and nobody would pass me the ball. I was freaking amazing at defense and was probably the best or near best at stealing, and great at rebounding. And I was such a team player, I almost always passed to a teammate. On offense I never touched the ball despite being a competent shooter.

Anyways, you don't know what you are talking about Bunny, my favorite thing in a game is to support my teammates, and that includes when I played Chess on a team. It's more important to me that my friends do well than myself.

That does meet most definitions I know. We’ll have to talk out of game sometime. I’m a recovering academic and researcher who still tries to keep in touch with some stuff.

I hear you. I was frustrated with how you were playing and let that come through.

I do mean it though that playing a team game with incomplete information unshared among teammates is unique.

But I do see that I misunderstood some of your motivations too. Which is why I’ll try to find time to be clear about my thinking soon. I had really thought you were just trying to prove a point at the cost of town’s ability to play together.

I have been trying to prove a point. But I also truly think my play has been net positive for Town. At least President Eden called me his deputy.

I don't intend to play this way next game, I realize now it's just not going to happen this way, most players here are already set in their ways.

That all being said, I really am the Lawman who shot worcej. He was giving off the same vibes as last game AND wasn't getting much attention for it, so I wanted to resolve him ASAP.

[brainbomb]

I was driving and asked my wife to read the game to
Me as the flips happened and what people said. And she went above and beyond reading me everything since end of day. Even read me the entire flavour post. Ive now convinced her to join webdip and create an account and play mafia with us.

Your second paragraph is spot on. There's a big difference between "meta game" in things like MtG and "meta game" in limited information teammate games. The style *can* change, but there needs to be a larger discussion around it and an understanding of the cost/benefit of staying and changing.

Its really interesting to hear webdip read to you by a person rather than actually reading it and internalizing.

It made me realize how towny bunny is here

[brainbomb]

Will do some rereading but I recall balki challenging me on my lfischl read twice, he also challeneged me on my rdr read; and on my Jamie read

But seemed to say nothing about my townreads of kotp, damo, or demonrhk.

I have no idea where to look at present but I think flavius is potentially scum here for the sheer lack of interaction I can remember between balki and himself

To brainbomb’s wife:

I’m so sorry.

And to myself:

I can’t see scum!brain lying about this. And can’t see scum!brain posting this at all.

Did your very tolerant spouse type all this?

No she was hitting refresh repeatedly and at one point I said whats happening now?

And she said 12 minutes had gone by of no one talking when we were just past souix city. And I laughed and said yea its basically a giant chatroom that goes dead sometimes. She said people were talking about mathematics and thats when I told her she didnt have to keep reading because the game had gone into that mode of uninteresting stuff.

Brainbomb was the actual fake crumber by the way. He did a flavour text starting with "Sheriff". Then, capitalized "Holliday" when mentioning going back to his Holiday.

Then insisted damo was Town (presumably because he scanned him as Town).

[BunnyGo]

What do you make of the strange behavior this shitposting phase by various players?

Sweet is tryng some master mind plan only him understand and that will get him miskilled D1 or hipfired. Or he is just Mafia.

Jamiet is either using a shoe two sizes smaller then his size or he is faking indignation.

The rest I don't have any meaningful thoughts. Maybe HB is tryng too much. Maybe.

This is more towny than your first post.

Heres a first, I now have zero scumreads.

Back to Holliday.

There's no normal life, Wyatt, it's just life. Get on with it.

That's an interesting catch, @sweet.

@brain, intentional?
