[FM] Short Fuse IV - Game Over - Town wins

[Arete]

@SirDerpsAlot

Not sure who I would make immune just yet. maybe blue

Care to explain this one a bit more? Blue has posted … three times in the thread, I’m curious what in their posts make you townread them so strongly.

[KyoDaz]

Solic doesn’t seem to be stupid enough to give out an obvious pocket like that.
I’d imagine he’s town that’s scared of me detonating him. Maybe he isn’t being as truthful as he says with me being town but I think he doesn’t believe I am scum.

[SirDerpsAlot]

I don’t have any strong town reads yet, based off the iso that was done on them they are slight town atm

[Solic]

Kind of interesting that this is their conclusion when I did the same prior to reading this post, but ended up at townlean. Hmm…

@Arete

SirDerps’s read on Sulit. Feels a little weaker than some reads I’ve seen from Derps, in that it’s kind of surface level, but at least it’s something.

@Arete

(b) he’s still pretty new, and even if I’ve seen stronger content from him before I’m inclined to be charitable.

Can you refer to these reads?

[KyoDaz]

Which sucks because then I can’t detonate this entire game. Woo.

[SirDerpsAlot]

I mean, you technically could

[Solic]

@Arete

An attempt at applying pressure. It’s nothing so strong that it’s not fakeable but it is at least a decent sign, I guess.

@Arete

I was going to ask for your thoughts on Alice while I wrote my wallpost but it looks like she hasn’t really posted yet.

/vote Alice for pressure.

@Alice come join the thread! We have cookies explosions!

If we’re talking about pisspoor attempts of applying pressure.

[Hippolytus]

@JakeTheWolfie there is talk of me blowing you up. Because I am benevolent I am giving you the benefit of the doubt for now. How do you plead.

[Solic]

@Alice

I don’t TR people for mechanics talk as either alignment can post it.

That’s bullshit and untrue. I distinctly remember you scumread players in Poker Mafia for openly questioning about scum abilities. Mechanical talk can easily be AI.

[Alice]

>implying people feel pressure from RVS votes.

[KyoDaz]

I don’t think we should discuss other people detonating others. I believe we should save our pushes for a lynch rather than convincing someone to blow someone else up.

[Solic]

Implying that adding “for pressure” is doing it any more favors. What do you think about Arete, Alice?

[KyoDaz]

If we do that then the detonators serve no purpose than a way to speed up the game.
Let’s use them for collecting reads rather than speeding up the game.

[Alice]

This was due to their perspective. Simon/Merc were explicitly talking about scum abiltiies as villagers don’t need them. Here, talking about detonations/lynches can come from either alignment.

[Solic]

Actually in the last Short Fuse, I had a hilariously hard time with scumreading whoever held my detonator that I tried to signal it to other players before I was blown up sadly. We were both town too lol.

[Solic]

Town could obtain scum abilities there though. You can easily approach detonations from different alignment perspectives here.

[KyoDaz]

Oh, this is the fourth Short Fuse. What were some mistakes you guys did the previous games?
I think not discussing detonators is a good idea right now. I don’t believe it does anything except apply pressure onto people and cause bad things to happen.

[Alice]

Right now? They feel out of their element so far. Would wait more to see how they further react here to see if this is AI or not.

[Solic]

Bane trigger happiness out of existence, but I’m not part of that problem anyways.

[Alice]

@Arete

I mean, I feel like wallposting this early in the game is more likely than not just going to end with me randomly focusing on microreads that don’t actually help us. I can lock myself as town later.

Eh, the last sentence here usually doesn’t come from scum.
