[GAME THREAD 6/13] Risky Light Game: Featuring Rain - Day 4 - Mafia wonnered

@Squirrel2412

Why do you consider what magnus did to be scummy if you did it too?

1. I gave justification

2. Magnus seemed to know what the VC was and did it anyway; I hadn’t looked at the VC at the time (although I knew people were generally sussing Leafia, sorry)

@Trochilidae

on the subject of Leafia’s wagon analysis, the matter of pigeon. i most disliked the last two votes, and would care to talk with @thepigeonnyc himself for some real-time here.

Hi!

Oh no I forgot to send this

[Magnus]

@Trochilidae

@Magnus

I have to defend myself, because apparently one post and a vote is AI.

why wouldn’t it be? i agree with what my predecessor said: everything game-related is AI. anyone should be expected to have to defend themselves with this sort of entrance.

That’s my bad. I shouldn’t have suggested it was NAI; rather, I meant to express it wasn’t particularly AI. There’s a fine distinction, when it’s relevant to a player but doesn’t seem to relate to their alignment in any way. I figured my first post wasn’t a big deal.

@Trochilidae

@Magnus

Casting a vote seeming randomly stands out far more than remaining silent, so ‘blending in’ is objectively false.

casting a vote on anyone other than the leading wagon would not have been blending in, as it is my point stands.

I can understand your logic, but I’m forced to disagree with this here. Had I wished to blend in, without simply staying silent, I could’ve shared a few thoughts without casting a vote. Had I cast a vote on someone else, I would’ve been asked why I voted as such anyway. I have more respect for this player base than to expect a vote on Leafia would be missed entirely, even without knowing Pigeon would vote as well a few moments (minutes?) later.

@Trochilidae

@Magnus

In any case, if I’m jumping on a wagon wildly for voting Leafia, Cloned is jumping on a wagon to vote me with flimsy justification.

you did jump on a wagon wildly to vote Leafia. cloned’s reasoning is something i can follow. (at least he had justification).

Have your thoughts changed now Cloned isn’t voting me? Just curious. I’m not majorly interested in justifying my votes unless it’s incredibly weird, worse than the Leafia vote.

@Trochilidae

@Magnus

This makes sense, now. I’m being heavily accused for voting randomly, right before another player casts the same vote, on an already heavily voted player in a majority system.

i don’t understand the point you’re trying to make, please elaborate.

I’m heavily accused for voting Leafia just before Pigeon casts a vote on Leafia, sending her to L-2 in a majority vote. In other words, I’m suspected for aligning votes seemingly randomly with another player, as if I had been communicating with someone in a Mafia chat. That thought is in the back of everyone’s minds, or at least the people suspecting me.

@Trochilidae

@Magnus

This ignores the fact that a D1 mislynch doesn’t really help Wolves, so I’d be ruining my own game as Mafia for trying this.

….excuse me? and how, pray tell, does a correct D1 yeet help them? why would you as Mafia be ruining your game by trying to accomplish your objective?

I can understand this confusion, If I had been Mafia, arranging a guaranteed D1 mislynch doesn’t help the Mafia when I would be heavily suspected and likely lynched the next day. It would be safer to remain in the shadows and subtly nod suspicion into an innocent player’s direction.

@thepigeonnyc

Magnus seemed to know what the VC was and did it anyway; I hadn’t looked at the VC at the time (although I knew people were generally sussing Leafia, sorry)

I didn’t know exactly how many votes were on Leafia at the time, since the VC was outdated. Two or three players had voted following the previous VC, I noticed those votes and forgot to add them onto the current votecount as I knew it.

@Squirrel2412

@Aelin

cloned feels like he’s trying really hard to make sure people know he’s doing something without outright pointing people towards it

do you mean that the post looks performative?

um
somewhat?
i dont really know how to explain it better or i would
but like he’s trying to be really loud about doing things i guess

@BradLand

I’m also slowly leaning Aelin town it’s mostly just a gut read though.

ive given a decent bit of content, do you believe it’s all just nai or is it influencing your gutread?

@Squirrel2412

aelin town

why
all that’s happened so far from you on me is that you didnt know whether or not my commenting and lack of knowledge on leafia getting fucking dunked on lmao was ai and just kinda looking at my posts but commenting on what they were related to rather than the posts themselves

@Frog

Oi! Chut ya klappa ey! :P
I read your posts, I like your conspiracy theories, I do the same thing but then people ignore me. Asking if you’ve got any more spicy takes, not the old stuff. I want the new Kanye.

Also I’m top town, you can sheep me at end of day

oh i forgot to respond to this
uhhhh
not especially, prof has seemed a bit more towny overall but that’s disregarding the person behind the alt
not really bothering with leafia d1 unless she comes up as a wagon again
brad’s been trending downwards somewhat
cloned’s pretty scummy atm imo
still want to hear on squirrel
gorta’s pop ins were bad to the point of me disregarding it usually being nai
idk where like third of the cast do be tho

@Professor

@Aelin

well

theres two people that im kinda closing in on and if youre the first, then i think youre town, and if you’re the second, i think youre scum, so it’s pretty important to me. as it is, though, ive made the observations that I can and can only read you off of abstract principles at the moment, so i’d say figuring out who you are is pretty important for me.

Why can’t you read me via normal principles? Do either of the players you have in mind have some sort of abstract metas?

this came up while i was typing, so while i did reference this earlier in the post, ill rehash - if you were just a lone, new account, id have you as a townlean
however, with the knowledge that youre an alt account with previous experience with me and, for example, leafia, that changes things

i dont know if im allowed to alt spec so im cutting off this post here

@Trochilidae im here but also playing mc

[thepigeonnyc]

@Magnus

I didn’t know exactly how many votes were on Leafia at the time, since the VC was outdated. Two or three players had voted following the previous VC, I noticed those votes and forgot to add them onto the current votecount as I knew it.

Still doesn’t explain why you came in with a vote but no reason

[Magnus]

If I recall correctly, I have already explained my reasoning behind the ‘mindless’ Leafia vote. It’s in my first wall-post. Whether or not the explanation is satisfactory enough for you doesn’t bother me.

[Leafia]

@Squirrel2412

could be

in the very least I don’t think it’s W/W because it’s too convoluted

Same here. Even independent of me townreading both of them, this feels too real to be w/w.

[Frog]

@Trochilidae

of my entire post; you only quote me to make a cutesy remark, as if you’re trying to fluff your posts out. of everyone quoted only mine seems to serve no real purpose. why? don’t quote me and clutter my pings if all you’re going to do is sass.

You’re kind of similar to Professor, Magnus in how it seems like you approach the game. Like, your posts restate a lot of information, and you ask questions, and you’re trying to ascribe motivations. I don’t think any of that is alignment indicative, despite how proud you are of your girthy posts. But if you post enough, and keep doing your thing, if you are Town I will find you. That brings me to my point.

The reason I remarked upon your sassiness was not to be cutesy, I’m commenting on a trait, specifically a playstyle trait. Your sassiness was specifically Towny. Why? Because your expression demonstrates a quality in tone of indignance, authority, and assertiveness

@Trochilidae

….excuse me?

I found it exceptionally Towny, which is why I pointed it out

[Leafia]

@Magnus

I’m heavily accused for voting Leafia just before Pigeon casts a vote on Leafia, sending her to L-2 in a majority vote. In other words, I’m suspected for aligning votes seemingly randomly with another player, as if I had been communicating with someone in a Mafia chat. That thought is in the back of everyone’s minds, or at least the people suspecting me.

He honestly isn’t wrong here. I’m currently tinfoiling Pigein/Magnus as w/w, but there’s a thought that scares me too and that thought is this: Can it really be that easy?

It just feels like we’re missing something important. GTH, Magnus/Pigeon contains exactly one wolf.

[Leafia]

@Magnus

I can understand this confusion, If I had been Mafia, arranging a guaranteed D1 mislynch doesn’t help the Mafia when I would be heavily suspected and likely lynched the next day. It would be safer to remain in the shadows and subtly nod suspicion into an innocent player’s direction.

This reasoning kind of makes sense if you ask me so Pigeon and Magnus are probably unaligned.

@Professor

@Squirrel2412

but whatever you two are probably gonna tunnel each other regardless of what I say

I have expressed a decent level of uncertainty on cloned’s alignment… I’m surprised this is the impression that you have.

It seemed to me that you were pushing him pretty hard. See below:

prof quotes

@Professor

I don’t mind the initial content, but the way he applauds everyone simply for calling him out, even when most of the accusations against him don’t concern the validity of his reasoning which is what he claimed to be looking for, doesn’t seem… real.

@Professor

@clonedcheese

Go sleep or smth

Take a break

This dismissal is textbook wolfy.

@Professor

I didn’t say that was your intention. I said that was what you were doing, and that it doesn’t match your intention. You intended to find out if people picked up on your made up reasoning, but then you end up townreading people just for saying that you “feel off”. This is what gives the impression that you are trying to pass of a wolfy post as “chill it was an RT!!!”, because you are trying to scrounge for results to make it appear fruitful.

@Professor

They are both hedgy posts. And in one you are calling the hedge villagery, and in the other you are calling it wolfy. I don’t care about the rest of the content for this specific point, because this is a contradiction regardless.

@Professor

I’m pretty confident Cheese isn’t reading my posts… or Aelin’s posts, for what it’s worth. They accused me of attributing motivations to them when I was merely pointing out their intention didn’t match with their actions. They then also accused me of defending Brad while quoting two of my posts defending Magnus, a different player.

@Professor

However, cheese making things up in order to validate tunnels he knows he must fake in order to imitate his town meta is… squarely within his wolfrange.

I’ll grant you that in more recent posts (also below) you’ve expressed some reservations about reading cloned, but you came off as pushing him pretty hard when I wrote that.

more prof quotes

@Professor

While at this point I think clonedcheese’s “RT” is looking more likely to be a wolf “it was actually an RT” moment, I’m not sure why he would feel a need to do this as a wolf. He wasn’t largely scumread for his posts, and even received townreads from some people. It’s possible he thought his made up post surrounding Pigeon’s meta would come back to haunt him, but otherwise it doesn’t really make sense.

@Professor

Cheese being insufferable is within both his ranges.

@Professor

This is why I am undecided on cheese’s “RT” because despite the intention not really aligning with his actions, I don’t understand why cheese would feel a need to do this as a wolf when he was townread as much as he was wolfread for his posting. An entire reversal, as you put it, may not be warranted to make as a wolf.

Which brings me to the next point:

@Professor

@Squirrel2412

prof scum?

This is interesting. The only comment on my alignment you have made is a townread of one of my thoughts. What led you to this conclusion?

You seem to be backing off of cloned (for the time being) in a way that doesn’t feel natural to me. You pushed him pretty hard, at least in my eyes, and then you’re suddenly reconsidering your read on him without much of a progression.

That said, this read is also dependent on cloned’s alignment, and your other posts have been ~decent, so you’re not my main priority rn.

@thepigeonnyc

@Squirrel2412

Why do you consider what magnus did to be scummy if you did it too?

1. I gave justification
2. Magnus seemed to know what the VC was and did it anyway; I hadn’t looked at the VC at the time (although I knew people were generally sussing Leafia, sorry)

Why didn’t you check the VC?

Also, Magnus voted when Leaf was at L-3, which is a lot more reasonable than L-2 imo

@Aelin

um
somewhat?
i dont really know how to explain it better or i would
but like he’s trying to be really loud about doing things i guess

interesting

I’ll reread his posts later with that in mind

@Aelin

why
all that’s happened so far from you on me is that you didnt know whether or not my commenting and lack of knowledge on leafia getting fucking dunked on lmao was ai and just kinda looking at my posts but commenting on what they were related to rather than the posts themselves

gut

which I normally don’t comment on because saying “this post feels good because gut” gets repetitive and annoying fast

@Aelin

cloned’s pretty scummy atm imo
still want to hear on squirrel

why does the postcap scare me this much aaaa

[Leafia]

I think I’m the only one who should be realistically scared of it honestly. I’d love to see more from you and Gorta too. What are your reads so far Eli? You too Gorta. @Gorta
