Ice Cream Mafia 2 - Day 6 (4/14)

Who are you referring to in this quotation? Whoever it is it doesn’t seem like there have been a lot of serious votes so far besides

I think it could be performative. LAMIST (Look At Me I’m So Tunneling)
but the rest of zone’s posting is good so whatever

chomps is an incredibly consistent player. this is an amazing skill and personally extremely awesome but it does make reading them hard

agreed

Is there a reason for your vote there? I noticed in your previous post you had four townleans but no wolfleans

I’m not really sure. Zone hasn’t flipped town so I don’t really know what I would be thinking. I can’t really force myself to make thoughts like that and also a lot of the information from flips come from the gameplay that precedes those flips, there’s been very little gameplay so far.

i see i see, i understand the reasoning, ty. for what it’s worth, im also hesitant to clear people based off their (lack of) mech knowledge for the same reasons oricorio mentioned (e.g. scum intentionally acting dumb for townpoints)

oh you’re totally fine, i wasnt expecting you to have a firm answer for that. i was just bein a lil nosy :3

Give us a GTH at least, if you want to see gameplay you shouldn’t be hedging

Again, there is no read to be had there currently, as this sort of read cannot exist without both the game having advanced past 6 hours from d1 and there is no information from the execution.

A hypothetical flip would be information. I’ve had to solve games with far less than what we have here

with far less than 300 mildly fluffy posts? lol

That’s more posts already than like half of NSM’s games lol

on what timescale? 300 posts in a turbo is way more than in a 48/24

It would not be the information I need to solve the game, or in this case, solve your behavior and alignment. I don’t really know what you are asking about. I was talking about slowly understanding a player and making observations about their behaviors and combining that with information about how the game is going, what the execution flipped as, how they proceeded to play from there, how other people are playing, and mechanical information, in order to get an accurate read on them later. It’s not hedging if I literally do not have the required information in front of me to make an assessment as to whether that observation leads me to believe you are wolf or town. I need information from how you are progressing the game, how your reads changes, etc, in order to make use of it.

Which, I guess from your point of view, is very different to how you go about solving games, I imagine you look at a couple posts in isolation and assign a read to them since your games tend to have very few posts. I tend to be slower with reading people accurately, changing my reads a lot earlier on, until I nail how a person plays. It takes a while. I’m not very good at it. That’s why I joined this game. I tend to do better when I have pattern recognition that speeds up a lot of the process.

On the scale of 48/24. Granted, said games typically have 9 players at most and OC is an important mechanic so the raw postcount can be misleading, but if you can’t work with 300 posts you will not have a good time there

I suppose that’s fair. Counterpoint: This is Wazza’s entire thread presence

Solving worlds is useful especially for the later game, but for the early game pushing people around is important! The whole point of a GTH is that it doesn’t have to be well thought out or something you need to commit to it just tells me that you’re willing to think about this game or take stances rather than stalling for time waiting to see what you can get away with!

Your point being? I routinely have to deal with 0 posters

Like, take for instance - Wazza. I never once said this because I don’t know if it would be correct, but I tend to find that they are more interested in the game if they are evil, they are often more afloat, in their own little head (pushing wisp in lunacy) when they are town. I looked at their posts this game and saw they only had two posts and my immediate reaction was to think they were town. Or Marluna, who very first post struck a nerve and made me feel as though they were town, it would be very weird for Marluna to state that as mafia, it would like dunking on the hosts as mafia in the main thread for how they treated mafia, it’s kinda absurd to imagine for Marluna to do that as wolf. Neither of these reads I’m confident in, so I simply said nothing and shelved them to see whether I could make use of them later with more information. I’m not very good at accurately nailing people down early on with little information, so I sorta just store information and say nothing about certain things

I thought you were referring to GTH about what my observation would lead me to believe if zone flipped as mafia.

i think i would die you are so strong

Yes, give me that GTH
