@Seven Somi quoted me, am I allowed to read that?

Yes or no question for Seven.

Okay, D1 isn't that useful for analysis because we elimed the Sorc who the wolves didn't have the name of, and we've already leeched out all the somi study we could do, D2 was basically coasting to a Maven elim that turned out to be a wolf. That gives us D3 with a very complacent town, and very little info to go forward on. BCS is a dead martyr and bessie able to put one more conf!town beside Doop, me, and her, which gives a very solid state at 6-1 with two mis-eliims to give. At this point we're trying to see if we can winnow out the last wolf for a perfect town win.

Technically a perfect win would be D1 WW, N1 Sorc, D2 WW, but that would be hilariously unlikely.

Wolves killing their own ally didn't even occur to me until you just brought it up, but I guess us eliming them D1 kept you from having to deal with that ignominy. You're welcome.

madge wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 5:24 am After the PyP is done, me and Sabrar will be doing our annual Halloween game. The theme will be "AI Apocalypse", with flavour being an amalgamation of everyone's favourite AI-takes-over films/books/TV(?).

Does anyone have suggestions? I am thinking (imagine that iceberg meme):

(tip of the iceberg)
- Terminator
- Matrix
- ChatGPT/DallE/etc
- that terrible I, Robot film that would have been fine if people weren't expecting it to follow Asimov
(below the surface)
- Other robot/AI films (e.g. Her, S1M0NE?)
- Asimov robot short stories
(deeper)
- Some possible actual humans like Kurtzweil, Turing, Lovelace, Yudkowksky, Bostrom?
- more obscure AI self-published AI stories like Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, Friendship Is Optimal, Crystal Society
(very depths)
- Concepts like paperclip maximisers, roko's basilisk
(further down - I don't know what lurks here, open to suggestions)

How far down the iceberg does it make sense to go?

Also, who would be interested in playing so I can work out setup size?
