wtf Gaspy, what do you mean you wouldn't use "sussing out" there, Bifauxnen posted:got enough reasons there, bud? Asphyxious posted:This confused me as I don’t think I’d use “sussing out” to mean this at all. “Sussing out” would be more if Asiina was uncertain of anything/everything, whereas she actually seems pretty certain already. Asiina is casing TMM and poking him and voting him. She is playing Mafia, by trying to suss out his alignment. Just because you think no one should be described as "sussing out" a specific thing, that it can only describe someone completely uncertain in general, don't go projecting something I didn't mean. Or habe I totally learned this wrong as a former Yank? Is "sussing out" as a phrase never actually used in such a way, to suss out a particular fact instead of just being generally confused? I will hold you to your linguistic integrity.

It’s pure semantics but “sussing out” really isn’t “placing a vote and making an absolute claim”, sussing out is like, asking probing questions or making statements and seeing how they react. Asiina has travelled past “sussing out”.

Bifauxnen posted:yeah well you read bad Okay, so your definition of sussing someone out is just casing them? Casing someone while not... being too sure, as to imply they might already know someone's alignment? This is something that you can say but I don't really see how this is distinguishable from "I like Asiina's case and might vote later." In which case your immediate hedge is still very very bad. Bifauxnen posted:I'm not convinced yet that it's worth a vote yet myself. While I see why TMM reads as weird to her, I also find it a bit unlikely that a scum would come out swinging that fast with such blatant gambler's fallacy nonsense to make themselves look that silly. If nothing else comes up though, it'd certainly be good enough for D1. Even this is hedgey. You don't say anything about why TMM is scum in this post! You just say you understand why Asiina thinks he's scum. Why is it worth a vote if your only thoughts about him are that he's unlikely to be scum? Bifauxnen posted:And if that is what happens, and it turns out TMM is town, I think that vote of IP's does sound a bit overwrought, like scum trying to get a bandwagom rolling. The "chain lunch" you are assuming for me would depend on a lot of factors between now and then: the TMM lunch happening, him being town, IP not sounding any townier by then, nothing else grabbing me more by then, etc. I would certainly want to NOT pursue this further if he comes up scum. Sounds like something we can bring up tomorrow, not today. Which is the whole reason chain lynches are bad: because at best it's fake content that doesn't matter when you don't know what the D1/N1 flips are. At worst, it's you setting up something pretty sinister as scum. I understand it's only a pseudo-chain lynch because you're not saying "we should execute X if Y flips town" but it's very much still in that territory in a bad way, imo! I get that your whole thing is to be really combative but I'm not trying to be all "oh you just keep going don't you!" to you, just say who I think is scum. I find the extra posturing of "nice try" and "yeah this is bad" to read as scum upset that they just got nailed. I'm very comfortable with my vote.

Bifauxnen posted:I don't see what's hard to follow I legitimately still don't know what you think of TMM! It sounds like you have a pretty towny read on him but would still be comfortable voting for him if it came to that?? like, you say you find him unlikely to be scum, but you find asiina towny because you find her case genuine. so then... maybe both of them could be town? but still, the TMM vote is "good enough" for D1?? I just don't get it!

ugh Gaspy's style of response was annoying to quote but it was a lot more convenient to read, so I'm gonna copy it here. BottleKnight posted:Okay, so your definition of sussing someone out is just casing them? Casing someone while not... being too sure, as to imply they might already know someone's alignment? Pretty much, I got the impression Asiina was playing the exact same type of town play I've seen her do in several games recently. She's working things out and actively pressing on things, and the fact that I described this townie casing behaviour as "sussing out" and that word choice is somehow perceived as scummy kind of irks me.

Hmm. Did I call you scummy solely for your word choice or did I call you scummy because your word choice indicated a mischaracterization of what Asiina had actually done up to that point? Asphyxious says it well Asphyxious posted:It’s pure semantics but “sussing out” really isn’t “placing a vote and making an absolute claim”, sussing out is like, asking probing questions or making statements and seeing how they react. Bif, if this really just is semantics and that's all you meant, that's fine, in which case the hedging is still bad! Bifauxnen posted:The part that's distinguishable is I don't agree with her case as it stands, but I like her making the case. If there was absolutely nothing else better than this case of Asiina's going by the time D1 ended, I wouldn't mind supporting it. Okay... hmm. I find "I like Asiina sussing this out and might vote TMM later" and "I don't agree with her case as it stands, but I like her making the case. If there was absolutely nothing else better than this case of Asiina's going by the time D1 ended, I wouldn't mind supporting it" to be quite different characterizations of what you think about Asiina's case on TMM. The first statement sounds like you like the case and might vote, the second statement sounds like you don't like the case and will only vote as a last resort. I feel quite comfortable with my vote. Bifauxnen posted:you just described it perfectly so why are you acting so loving confused Because your original statement does not align with your new one!

BottleKnight posted:Bif, if this really just is semantics and that's all you meant, that's fine, in which case the hedging is still bad! well until we started going at it, Asiina's case was literally the only thing going. It's still quite early on D1. I don't buy the case yet, so I was hoping something better would come along to bite into. But I think the case was made in good faith, so I wouldn't mind supporting Asiina in voting TMM if I could not in fact find something better. This whole thing here is certainly a lot meatier now though.

Goodness gracious! And here I thought I was a regular ole' chatterbox, but you've all just been rattling away plenty while I've been away, huh? Now, all I'll say is that I dunno about some of this. It's been a hot second or two since I've played an actual game of Mafia, to put it one way, and it's my first game around here, so beg your pardon if I'm misinterpreting anything... On that note I did wanna slip into the conversation for a moment and ask for a slight bit of clarification to make sure I'm following along properly: with the concept of chain-lynching brought up, I assume via context that's the idea of a vote (duh) and then going off ('chaining') the results/flip against those who voted? I've looked around for the term a little but could only find it being used / not an exact definition, and it's not a term I'm exactly familiar with. Thanks!

I've looked around for the term a little but could only find it being used / not an exact definition, and it's not a term I'm exactly familiar with. sounds like you got it right. More strictly speaking, a chain-lunch is someone saying "if Person X flips a certain way, we should lunch Person Y next." You may note that my post is a very far cry from this, but BK has shifted the goalposts and stopped mentioning chain-lunching entirely. And instead of pausing to reflect on just how much he's read into my post all by himself, he's staying the course all: "well you are still hedging and that's bad"

anyway, the world makes sense again now except I still don't know how can you read me saying "ok you wanna know what I think of TMM, here is what I think of TMM", then him going "but wait?? It sounds like you're saying (insert exactly what I just said) but I still don't know what you think about TMM?? I'm so confused??" and not think that's faking content, I didn't even do the double question marks for hyperbole, his post is literally like that

BottleKnight posted:It reads to me as a scum saying “I might join this case, but only later, to make it clear that if it’s a mislynch it was NOT my fault!” (phoneposting until further notice) ##vote bk BKs case on Bif feels faked to me, like he decided to call her scum and then reverse-engineered a reason. I’m not sure I buy that anyone would think Bif’s early d1 vote on TMM was “calculated” and required hedging, and I disagree with his assessment that his not knowing her opinion there (again, on early d1) is suspicious at all.

I’ve been a bit distracted today, did this game open when only Aussies were around? I feel like I’ve seen the same 4 highly predictable names over and over and not much else. Must say this is the chattiest I’ve seen Hal so that’s a plus at least.

I keep flinching thinking slapfights or aggro is about to kick off but everyone’s being pretty reasonable which then makes me suspicious but I’m trying not to read too much into that. In bif vs bk I feel better about bif. Her posts were harder to parse and the defence of semantics wasn’t great, but I think her content was more accurate to the situation. Wouldn’t vote either of them at this point.

I have important thoughts about sussing things out, but don't feel like sharing them. I think bk comes out better from that argument, only because I found my initial TMM post paper thin in terms of content. I like Asiina going with it and putting her money where her mouth is, I like people going "wow hmm Asiina may be on to something here" far less since they all hold back their votes. That was mostly Hal & Bif from memory, so reading along, I agreed with BK's initial call out. Anyway, this post caught my eye because I cannot figure out why they would bring up hypothetically be cased instead unless they had a guilty mindset, and would like IcePheonix to expand on this.
