Oh I think i see what you are reading, we would both have been forced to make a new choice had I not had a contingency and sent kashuno 4 games in order of preference with the caveat that if my game was picked just move to the next one.

That's what I did too after my first pick was rejected because someone already had it. Because I was just so eager to get my pick in and get this game going!

I know it's been figured out but I have to say it now because it's gonna come up eventually and better to try to get the dumb turbo out of the way first.

I would never pick Chrono Trigger because I don't like that game.

Let's get back to airport chat. My hot take on Denver airport is that it's too dang big and it takes too long to get around. On the other hand, it has a pretty decent steakhouse RIGHT IN THE AIRPORT so that's a good way to kill about an hour and a half.

seoul is definitely nice. all of the airports I've been to in japan were nice too. haneda is probably the best.
hong kong is nice if you're the type that likes to check out all the shops or just wander/watch planes, as the entire airport is literally a giant shopping mall, and fuckloads of planes are constantly in/out of the artificial island it's on.

singapore takes the cake though, hands down.

I'm honestly just trying to post more about the game. I got lynched for not enough posts in my last game.

I was hesitant about even bringing up the Asiina case, but I decided to eventually :justpost: it. I couldn't find anything else particularly scummy.

In retrospect, that's probably because it's D1, and there's not a lot of hints being dropped.

Especially during D1 I am all for people posting whatever pops into their mind, even if it's some random or stray observation, because otherwise the game takes forever to get going. So don't hesitate to :justpost:, friend.

ok yeah we both got shat on last game just for not having anything to say on D1 yet in the middle of a lurkerfest, fair enough

This game seems to have a lot more to go on already though, any reads yet?

There's been a ton more posts in this game, to be sure, but it's mostly been white noise. The only thing of semi substance was the Asiina post about the PGO but even that was more interesting in how people reacted to it. Not even close for me to throw a vote on anyone as a result but they are interesting data points for when we get closer to endgame, I think.

reposting this so tpink can read some substance instead of ignoring it

Nah I didn't ignore it. I said the Asiina thing was stupid, Flam basically said he's throwing things at the wall to see if anything lands D1 because he was free lynched last game for not posting enough (which is true), I said :justpost:. There's not nearly here enough for a vote, brother. I'm paying attention but it's not doing it for me. And again, not to go all meta, but I also rarely even vote on D1 at all basically for this reason - it's a crapshoot and statistically speaking you're likely to hit town vs scum. My only jokey vote was on Asiina and that's where I left it before unvoting after jokephase was over. I shitpost during D1 and then try and get more serious after.

If statistically speaking you are more likely to lynch scum than town, the game is over because scum are >50% of the vote. Obviously D1 has the greatest statistical chance to lynch town, but the attitude of "d1 sucks and we're just going to lynch town anyway :shrug:" becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and is not even true.

He may not be scum for that, it may be a legitimate belief he holds, but it's a bad belief.

The bolded part is basically the point I was making, so I'm not really sure where we disagree. And do you not see how "we are going to lynch town" logically follows from "D1 has the greatest statistical chance to lynch town"?

We disagree because while what you're saying is technically true, it's like saying "The Patriots (:barf:) are much better than the Buccaneers, we should not bother playing the game because we know they will win." You still play the game. Saying "I'm not going to vote on D1 because it doesnt matter" is a bad attitude.


Every day we are more likely than not to lynch town from a pure numbers point, so it logically follows that "We are going to lynch town" is true always. (There are of course corner cases like a Town SK Scum 3 man lylo, but in general this is true.)

Here was your original sentence in full.


I think it is your sincere belief. I am just saying it is a crappy belief and self fulfills. If everyone just jokeposts and then comes together to lynch someone D1, of course you're probably going to lynch town. But scum can get caught out on D1. In an all vanilla game, the "crapshoot" doesn't get much better going from D1 to D2 if it's a game full of people with this attitude because no one puts in any effort. Coasting through the game, waiting on other people to do the work is bad.

Yes yes, you've convinced me that D1 voting is good.

##vote chaoslord

jk

##unvote

You are taking the point that we both seem to agree on -- that statistically speaking D1 has the greatest chance for a mislynch -- and spinning it out to something fairly ridiculous and beyond what I said. Obviously I am not arguing that just because every day we are more likely to hit town than not (which is generally true from a pure numbers point, all other things being equal), that means that we should just not vote ever. And I don't discourage other people from voting D1 because well, we have to end the day somehow. I am saying that for me personally I don't like making D1 votes because I try to vote based on at least some reasoning and information, and more often than not, there's just nothing nearly solid enough to warrant a vote -- again, for me -- on D1. I put in effort by at least posting and engaging, even if it's stupid jokephase during D1, because that gets people talking and all information is good information that people can look at later. By not voting D1, that doesn't mean that I am "coasting through the game, waiting on other people to do the work," as you suggest.
