Did you marry a man who married the sea? He looks right through you to the distant grey - calling, calling..
I could kinda see a merk/Rarity gambit, but for now it seems more likely to treat it as the more probable situation that they're both town who were able to contribute.

I cannot come up with a convincing narrative for contributing only 5 as a town player - it seems to make a hell of a lot more sense as a scum play. I'm kinda not comfortable with how quickly everyone's jumped on Rascyc though when Magnus only contributed one more and had volunteered earlier.

I decided to join because I wanted to be one of the four. I know I'm town and I knew I submitted what I submitted so if there was a failure id be able to at least have some view into the points and only have three different people to check out to see if I believe them.

So what do you think of Rascyc's play?

I don't really see how your play makes much sense even from an information gathering perspective. We could have and nearly did fail the check not from (overt) sabotage but simply from not contributing enough. If that had happened, what information would we have gained?

Firstly, 5 is nowhere near 1/4 of 27. Now you saying that you assumed people could contribute enough to make up for it doesn't vibe with this at all.


If you had an 8/9, which is what you'd need to have to think you could get away with submitting 5, then you wouldn't think of 5 as 'pretty good'.
I'm not going to reveal all my scores to you, sorry. I think my previous answer speaks enough for what I was going for here.

Ras has been on alert from the moment I first said one of the other three was scum. His explanation for his contribution is weak and contradictory. While I think Magnus's contribution is also pretty lame, his reasoning that it would give him insight into other players sounds more reasonable and it's a move I can easily see him making.

I didn't ask you to reveal your scores and I'm not sure why you think that I was. I was pointing out the most logical thought processes arising from whatever your possible scores are.

Not even close. There are two possibilities:

1) Your highest score is 8 or 9 so you think it's ok to volunteer with 5. In that case you wouldn't think 5 was 'pretty good'.

2) Your highest score is 7 or less in which case 5 is pretty good but you wouldn't want to risk submitting it for a total of 27 from 4 people.

Whatever your highest score is, your stated thought processes don't follow a logical town reasoning.

Ni siquiera cerca . Hay dos posibilidades:

1 ) Tu puntaje más alto es 8 o 9 por lo que creo que está bien para ser voluntario con 5. En ese caso, usted no pensaría 5 era ' bastante bueno ' .

2 ) Su puntuación más alta es 7 o menos , en cuyo caso 5 es bastante bueno, pero no querría arriesgarse a enviarlo para un total de 27 a partir de 4 personas.

Sea cual sea su puntuación más alta es , sus procesos de pensamiento establecidos no siguen un razonamiento lógico de la ciudad.

Yeah I don't see the contradiction you're asking me. If you look at my original post, I said I used both the average number that would need to be deposited: my 5 being just shy of that number, which was 6.75, or 7 if you want to round up, you can argue what constitutes shy I guess, but give me some benefit of the doubt I am capable of some elementary math. I kind of get that you are going for my choice of words "pretty good" to graduate a case on me into compelling but you are assuming I was using some relative distances between numbers as many only thought process (which I laid out in my original posts as straight forward as possible I thought).

I just realized what you did. That's a pretty lovely / game-breaking way to confirm me as Town.

You should probably restart this setup after that post. I know apostate is Town and he knows I am Town because you didn't discuss whether you would send out PMs to players who won challenges with their point totals.
