Jamiet
Chaqa

Why no long setup analysis post this game?

[Haze with a Z]

Please note that although I am making low quality posts, it is mostly to avoid the Gambler successfully postcount-betting me.
(Yes, I read the entire setup again)
The total quality of my posts is the same as if I had made many high-quality posts.

This DOES NOT make any SENSE.
Just HOW do you KNOW what the gambler would bet??????
They MIGHT have bet that THIS would be your posting frequency.

I am reasonably confident that the Gambler didn't bet that I had within 15 posts of 200 posts because that's absurd.
Simply put, there are a theoretically infinite number of possible postcounts for me to have. The most likely ones are 30-100, so I am going to avoid that range.
Which means I need to make at least 120 posts.

Why not make exactly 200 posts because of it being absurd then?

[Haze with a Z]

Like posting at 120 posts is more risky than 200 based on what it sounds like you are saying

[BunnyGo]

I swear to God I reviewed this setup and there was no N0.

There IS no N0...he undid that at game start!

Ok I found the may before game start thing. Where did he undo it?

My mistake; he only made it optional.

As much as I like talking about mechanics I think that this is just a normal game, besides the gambling aspect that I think serves mafia if we get too deep into it. I will say that there are some interesting incentives at play that I’ll probably mention later in the game if I make it that far.

I consider talking about mechanics in this setup d1 a bad idea. Let's discuss d2.

Ok maybe mechanics is less good to talk about then I thought but it still feels like dip’s town meta to do so with a long post that I don’t wanna Read so like idk I can’t see him as town atm without that tbh

[Jamiet99uk]

It's d1 though

Is this a townslip, or an attempted townslip, from Ghuggles?

no...but it is one by you

I don't think so.

[Jamiet99uk]

I’ve decided jamie feels like a character. What this means for their alignment is still unknown

Yes, I'm a very characterful individual. People enjoy my wit and charm.

The Setup Doc says the Gambler gets a pre-game bet.

Why does scum Just have incentive to call it out?

If town would only call it out if noticed and scum notices, why would town not also notice or scum not notice?

Scum has incentive to let it sit and see if nobody notices. Nobody else called it out, so I don't know why Will specifically would look townie for not calling it out.

I don’t even Know what we are talking about noticing tbh but I just think if someone won’t notice something as town they won’t notice it as scum tbh.

You can do the same thing with lots of songs. For example this favourite by Queen:

This thing called Ghug
I just can't handle it
This thing called Ghug
I must get 'round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called Ghug

This thing (this thing) called Ghug (called Ghug)
He cries (like a baby), in a cradle all night
He swings (woo), he jives (woo)
Shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called Ghug.

Better when I know the song tbh

You're not familiar with the band Queen?

These young people, shake my head my head.

What

I don’t know the song enough to like sing it in my head and replace the words and I could only tell what ghug was replacing by the last sentence so I didn’t enjoy it as much as what is ghug tbh

I think I know 2 or 3 songs by queen. This one isn’t one of them though. I can guess the title but that’s about it.

##call gm

Hi this may be a really stupid question but if the gambler bets on themself how would that interact with the target?

[Haze with a Z]

I think jamie is town but that’s my only tr atm

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

What a strange post.

But I can't recall D&W doing anything like this when he was scum before.

“What triggered you?” -Bunny

His preemptive self defense of a post.

"in 10 seconds" "Disclaimer"

So now instead of you interrogating me about my not-very-serious-or-thought-through readlist, you are going to interrogate me about why I do not want to be judged based on a readlist halfway into d1?

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

It's d1 though

This is why I don't associate with people who don't read the setup.

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

SSS

S as in on a tier list or s as in scum?

Small sample size

Fine, but you can't turn around and decide that my play also looks similar to my play as scum in another fashion if that's your call.

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

Haze with a Z is scummy for pontificating about the difference between gambling and betting instead of looking for scum.

Strong move

I might even go so far as to ##vote chaqa for wanting to sheep someone.

I’ve decided to sheep you.
