The Innsmouth Look game thread.

[Linus]

I'm not sure what to make of Linus/ksen, but I thought it was interesting that ksen's reaction to Linus' posts was similar to mine. I know that Linus does this thing about viewing obscure players whether he is town or scum. This time his reasoning for giving someone a half-vote pings.

ksen's reason was that he thought I might as well have called for both a mayor-vote and a seer view on the same Crumple. You agreed.

Which do you think is most useful: (a) seer view on iclad + chance of a bit info on Crumple from tie breaking, or (b) seer view on Crumple + chance of a bit additional info on Crumple from tie breaking ?

Explain your reasoning as well as why you find a preference for (a) suspiciouos. I suspect that you are well aware that a preference for scenarios like (a) over (b) is a hallmark of my play.

Not going there, Linus.

[ksen]

Oblivion you're acting very weird this game. Are you just rusty?

could be, but I doubt it.

so here's the deal, ksen. taking a page from gib's book, you were posting what I was thinking earlier. that doesn't happen often, so it's a bit of an attention-getter in and of itself. Same with Zigmen. I'm not used to being on anywhere near the same wavelength with either of you.

you assumed that you're the wonky one in the Linus/ksen interaction. And although I'm still kinda whut about your post I initially called out, you are definitely not as wonky as Linus atm.

Is that a burn? :colbert:

I did assume you meant I was the wonky one because after all . . . isn't everything about me?

what do you think of the interaction between you and athene?

[b.ternarius]

Imv, Linus made the error of posting a muddled bit of strategy on day one which was odd enough to get attention focussed on him so no one else gets scrutinised closely. Not particularly helpful even if he is town.

No, not a burn. Just a fact. The lack is probably my own. I frequently synch up with some players and hardly ever synch up with some players.

Athene's reaction seems off to me.

GEFGW?

good enough for government work.

b.t, that's a pretty laid back approach to day 1.

[Athene]

If it's opportunism, trying to shut it down and send the opportunists elsewhere is not protown.

happy with my vote for now.

This still doesn't make sense. Thoughts anyone?

[Athene]

I don't know, linus's plan looks internally consistent at least. Unless people are thinking that he actually thought crumble would likely get elected and then needed to swing that seer away from him. If he is scum that's an awful lot of association right off the bat. I think he's clearly wrong in that scum special hunt before they just make a list of people to kill, but trying not to waste views on people who might be dead early isn't a antitown thought.

It's not, it's a strategy used by people who actually know how to use the seer role.

It doesn't? You're the one who labeled it opportunism.

It looked to me like you were positing opportunism = scum taking advantage of the noise to blend in and possibly get a townie lynched, assuming Linus is town.

In fact, b.t's post could be a classic.

Shutting it down before they expose themselves in the effort is not protown.

Post #2, including the choice of Crumple and iclad, is perfectly in line with how I usually enter the game when there's a mayor election. Only once before has anyone found it suspicious enough to merit special attention; that happened in this game, where DeanM/Zigmen and Cthulhu/Azathoth thought it was off. If I remember correctly all 3 of us were town. I'm sure you'll find my replies there in line with my replies here (gib and Fatima were fairly new to TR mafia at the time).

Besides my contributions, do you find anything else notable so far?

[ksen]

Athene's reaction seems off to me.

Even though you guys normally have this kind of fight at the beginning of games you both are in?
