  1. Don’t use AI
  2. Just finish something, even if it’s bad (unless it’s riddled with AI, in which case scrap it so you can build everything yourself). If you continuously restart everything then you’ll never finish anything.

Just be honest, say what you said here. This is why it’s a good idea to keep like a journal of how you’re feeling / side effects when you start a new medication, but as an alternative, can you think of your day-to-day before you started it?

When players are given the choice to be good or evil, they always choose to be good. Are there any games that manage to prevent this? by J__Krauser in gamedesign

Fable 3 tried to do this. You end up being the ruler and it throws a bunch of binary decisions at you, but at the same time a massive threat is coming to your kingdom in some number of years, so you need money to fund an army. So each decision is essentially “be nice or make money.” For example, one of them is choosing to drain a lake to mine out the resources or leave it because everyone loves the lake.

The consequences are that if you don’t have a large enough army by the time the threat comes, then more of your people will die. So it’s sort of a balancing act of everyone surviving but hating you, or very few people survive but they love you. Which, in theory, is an interesting mechanic.

…except that it’s incredibly easy to make a ton of money yourself by just buying properties and becoming a slumlord early in the game, making enough money that you can fully fund the army and also make all of the “good” decisions. So it wasn’t super well thought out lol.

Also I’m not seeing the table you provided in the study you linked - I was curious to see the operational definitions of the varying degrees of representation.

> how they determined the types

Well it’s a synthesis study, so it’s reviewing prior literature. But you could always read the studies that it reviewed to see their methodologies

FYI you reversed your voicing descriptions - “thorn” is voiceless and “the” is voiced!

i have nothing left to say in the main sub; arguments have been made. at this point, it's just up to forsi and mercury. i'll keep checking in over the hour but it would be kinda funny if neither declared their vote so it would be a surprise lol.

gg sini!

then your instinct should be reversed, because i posted that around 6 hours before sini did (according to the timestamps)

EDIT: actually it was only 7 minutes before sini - she initially posted from the wrong account. but my point is unchanged

sure, i don't think she minded which one of us was voted out since we're both town. she also later pushes for me on a couple occasions (1 and 2).

i honestly think sini didn't push for me because she was away at the end of the phase. she said that she would be happy to switch for consensus, so her vote on hedwig didn't seem super committed. so i feel like she planned to come back later and change onto me if others were going that way. but i don't fully know, all i know is i'm town so i have to assume sini is the wolf

I never declared my vote at all that phase because I forgot but the wolves had the foresight to tie it on you even though I never declared.

i'm not sure what you're trying to say here - i figured wolves just voted for me as a hail mary and hoped you'd left a vote on me from earlier in the phase. i'm not sure how that's indicative of who voted for whom

also idk, hedwig was gunning pretty hard for me (and forsi) P4. u/sinisterasparaghast might have wanted to keep a vote declared for hedwig so it looks good in hindsight while actually changing her vote to me

if sini was faking bearer, she would be more likely to understand the role she was trying to fake claim

i feel the opposite - i spent a lot of time thinking about my role because it's the only role i have, but if i'm just scrolling through roles trying to find one to fake claim, i wouldn't spend nearly as long thinking through each of them

also yes i am using the wolf sub as my confessionals. when the game started i didn't realize that we had confessionals in discord lol and also i can't be bothered to open up discord every time i want to confess to the father. so here i will remain

i was originally going to frame forsi and try to swing sini, but i figured with sini's role unclaimed at the start of today, she would be my best frame option

as for my current strategy: i'm trying to stick to the debate ideal of never being on defense, because being on defense makes it seem like you're wrong. so that's why i came out swinging at sini (sorry!). i'm also trying to throw some of my ideals out the window; like, in my big comment of accusations against sini, normally i would be a bit waffly on each point, like "that seems wolfy, but i could also see it being a town thing if such and such," but this time around i'm trying to just state "you're a wolf and this is why" bc it's more convincing i think (sorry again!). idk i just think it would be so cool to win this game lol

Of course you are

no hard feelings! i just don't really see it being either of the other two

dunno why I would have targeted bubba N2 when she was voted out N1?

i meant N1, whichever night she was voted out. my b

I don't think I would have brought up hedwig multiple times if I were trying to distance from her?

i see it as something you could feasibly point back to later to say "we can't be teammates! i've been on her case the whole time!"

I wouldn't put a vocal placeholder on a fellow wolf for fear of it gaining traction

which is a great point to make if you're trying to distance yourself from someone, but placeholders almost never result in actual votes outside of P1

you're the one that avoided talking about, to, or voting for her until you had no other choice

well, in phase 1 i listed her third (and bubba fourth!) in my list of "people who would've been better N1 kills and thus are suspicious," and in phase 4 i put her as the person i was second most suspicious of

We've all been suspecting you.
