I'm leaning on Somi not running such a Gambit as scum.

Even if somi's on the up and up, there's still a 50% chance you or wam are scum.

I'd say at most there's only a 25% chance.

Can someone explain to me how to ISO a particular person's posts? I want to count how many times Seven has admitted to being scum.

vote somi

If I had a 2nd vote vote seven

Why follow up on voting Bessie here though? Currently Somi's vote is random.

Very funny actually. Just wasn’t sure if you were joking lol

bessie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 1:26 am Any guesses? Is there anything in that post you find interesting?

Well, the mafia POV mostly, but I'm not even sure if I should put any stock into that.

bessie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 1:26 am Why these three? Why not moody?

In my recollection moody tends to be a default compromise on later days when there's no clear scum rather than on D1.

Already? Dangit

Thinking bessie can only find one kind of confirmation post suspicious -0.5

Can you elaborate on why you feel Bessie is off here? Also, why did you continue with the confirmation gambit, I am curious why you put focus into that at the beginning of the DaY.

bessie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 1:26 am@Seven, I don’t like your confirmation post. FoS.
Seven’s opening post is ok, there is some good meta analysis (of which, I’m just noting for now). However, he continues with his confirmation post gambit. Hmmmmm. Staying with FoS for now.

Can you tell me why you dislike Seven's confirmation post, and his continuation of the post gambit. Also, do you have a response to Seven's comment referring to your treatment of their posting compared to the AI game?

What gambit?

Your humorous posting at the start of the game.

As for why it pinged me, I’m pretty sure I’ve done similar types of confirmation posts with bessie in the game and her never commenting on it. It makes me think she is artificially aware of how she engages with me this game. As I mentioned to Swiss in the scum chat, the past few games bessie and I have been at each other’s throats and it always starts when one of us FoSes the other. I’ve come into the game wanting to avoid that, it’s odd that bessie isn’t coming at it from the same perspective. My speculation is that it = scum!bessie trying to play up to the meta of the past three games but jumping the gun.

How would you expect town!bessie to respond?

Seven wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 6:56 pmThose are indeed posts

I'm more so curious about your intent and mindset, the why behind going through the effort of posting simulated conversations as proclaimed mafia. I expect you to have specific reasons for doing things, and I'm curious how those posts fit in your game plan for sorting the game.

Seven: ran town

Yoloswag: word?

Seven: yeah I can read him off half a dozen posts lol

Yoloswag: swag

Seven: you read yet?

Yoloswag: not yet boyo, workin on music rn

Seven: ok curious about your thoughts on what I said about bessie when you do

My confirmation post: Bessie's first post after the confirmation phase:
I'm intentionally being Look-at-me-I'm-so-Towny there and claiming town (which she finds scummy) but she only notes it for later, whereas here she comes right out of the gate strong, which is what I mean by jumping the gun. It doesn't feel like how she naturally evaluates as town.

Also, now that I think about it, what about my post 1 anaylisis was good @bessie? It was all coming from a mafia perspective

Top tier spelling
