Why are you jumping at it? I concur re: this tho, especially when in one hand there's critique of joke-vengeance and then the pivot to strike out against the joke

Not yet / not in a vacuum. Podima posted:I don't agree with this btw, I still think wren's post was an overreaction but this was an apparent joke. Why are you jumping at it? This line of accusation on her part seems to be hypocritical, at least as I read it. That could be a tell for real; I'd like to see her response to your question.

Like okay - she says that post A is a joke post and shouldn't be grounds for suspicion, but then post B (which seems to clearly be a joke to most of us?) is grounds for suspicion. setting aside meta considerations positively or negatively because I don't want to play that way and I encourage the rest of you to do so as well seeing as we are test subjects This sort of trip-up feels to me like she might have forgotten responding to post A by the time she went to criticize post B, having to manufacture elements of her story in one or more areas of that sequence. i dont think this is really any better but here you go

Did it occur to you to ask? Do you always understand every scrap of information dished out on day 1? Because I sure as hell don't. This game happens to be an exception but it is a sole exception in a mountain of "yeah I have no idea what that means or if it's FL has a lovely flavor for this game and is utilizing a Myst-associated "vanity account"(?) to facilitate that flavor. I think it's pretty obvious that he needs a non-votefinder spectator to test some of the things he wants to test, and why not have some fun while doing it. A lot of them played Myst, so sure, there are some in-jokes, but there are always in-jokes. They're jokes. They are jokes that are over half a year old and they are still making us smile. It's no different than if I were to say to Podima that something was "onystly" If that makes you legitimately suspicious inside the context of a mafia game, then that's cause for suspicion, but it isn't cause for: hexwren posted:Something something injoke? I got nothin'. hexwren posted:No. hexwren posted:I mostly thought I was signing up for this game not a different game. hexwren posted:Like, if anything, I'm more tempted to vote for the people who are in some other game instead of this one. Which brings us back to those earlier posts. hexwren posted:Also "serious question" alert, here we go. god forbid I talk poo poo day one. "oh look I'm pods, I can go on and on about other poo poo and when someone calls me on it TIME TO GET UP IN THEIR poo poo" hexwren posted:"aggression" This actually speaks to a problem I'm trying to work on with limiting access to information. A lot of people don't see the information they think they need to be able to see in order to proceed and they don't want to engage with it as a result, they throw their hands up in frustration because it just isn't fun for them. Recently, after a session, I let a d&d player in on a small little alternative solution she could have tried had she thought outside the box of what she believed was the case; she got frustrated because, in summary, I had said act A wasn't possible, and while hints B-D were there, they weren't meant to be explicit hints, my hope was that they would encourage interaction with the environ - investigation that would lead to trying something that might not work but tada!! That was a possible solution!! The larger puzzle was solved in a way I wasn't anticipating at all, but followed the expectations of the puzzle and so the crew broke the gently caress out the jail. curiously slash perhaps most wonderfully to me, the second character wasn't even aware there was a puzzle, she was just dicking around and tripped right over her secret by total accident. That said, I still think its regrettable that you want to bail, and if you're down I'd sincerely like to understand it when this game/test is wrapped up. I'm having a hell of a time finding the right balance between obfuscation to encourage curiosity and experimentation against the illusion of impossibility which leads to frustration and disengagement. But I suppose none of this is relevant to the test or the game in the end. three rewrites is probably the best I'm gonna get out of this

peramene posted:A-HA! Red handed trying to minimize the number of... hypothetical... If there were 3 scum in a 9-player game and town mislynched D1 it'd be LYLO d2 so I don't really think it's rocket science to say there's probably less than 3 scum, especially when you factor in the Hated mechanic. Podima posted:Would you say this is enough reason to vote MMT or not? Do you agree with the general point I was making? The only 9-player game I can recall ever playing was Commercials Mafia which had 2 scum (as I'm sure you remember, heh)

I'm going to drop the bit for a moment, because I think there's some confusion that has come to a head here on the part of a few people and I think it's because I didn't make things clear enough. That's on me. There are three flavor accounts in this game - me, votefinder, and Daniels. The flavor in this game has just been me loving around - there isn't anything else to it, and solving any perceived puzzles won't get you powers or role info or anything like that. Out of game knowledge will not help you solve the game. The only thing that's happened so far that was game-affecting was the new anti-lurker thing. Like I said, this is a standard Mafia game, and I wouldn't lie about that. I apologize for not being clearer at the outset about this and for letting this go for as long as it did without correcting things. If anyone still feels that they were misled by this game or that this isn't what they signed up for, please send me a PM on Discord or here and I will get replacements going.

[quote="“peramene”" post="“479136823”"] I’m finding this one really hard to clarify. Like okay - she says that post A is a joke post and shouldn’t be grounds for suspicion, but then post B (which seems to clearly be a joke to most of us?) is grounds for suspicion. [/quote] Can you quote posts A and B that you're referring to in this case? I literally don't understand what you're referring to  quote:This sort of trip-up feels to me like she might have forgotten responding to post A by the time she went to criticize post B, having to manufacture elements of her story in one or more areas of that sequence. If you think I did that, why not vote me?

I'm phoneposting, apologies for the botched quote. Also of note is that I'm going to sleep soon (I work overnights and sleep afternoons) and will likely be gone for awhile. I'm starting to get a bit suspicious of pera but I'll wait until we interact more before going there. Also I'm cooling on Wren (and hope he sticks around /has fun playing!)

Podima posted:This feels like an overreaction. You emptyquoted MMT saying that a NPC post made her suspect two other players more, with no other comment. Why the clap-back when asked about your intent? I agree w this. I put a vote out early because it felt like wren jumped to attempted town derailing really fast. Podima posted:Would you say this is enough reason to vote MMT or not? I'm conflicted about this because I feel like it's more likely that kind poster OMG assumed he could talk it up from 2 to 3.
