Detective #1 - D4 begins

[#HBC | Laundry]

Just a thought, Zen.

At the moment, I'm not too worried about random questions used as icebreakers. I'm more interested in figuring out what it is I'm looking for, as I can't really base questions to help get reads if I don't know what I'm reading. Overswarm has said that the game is not the same as mafia and we shouldn't treat it as such. I'm taking that to heart.

 

[#HBC | J]

Didn't you replace me in Bingo? He'll bring that up as seeing your scum play which doesn't really count.

WL, what would you do if I said I was gonna chill most of this game?

Joey, I want you to break that 50 ft. restriction and be chill.

Soupa, at the top of your 35 you said we needed to look at things through a new perspective. What did you mean by that?

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Probably would get pissed and break out the rage pictures.

 

[#HBC | J]

That's an unexpected answer. Why would you get pissed for chilling?

I'd be active but more relaxed.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

I took "chill" as "not really gonna do much." If you're gonna be active but relaxed, I'm okay with that.

 

[#HBC | J]

Kay, then to help me remain chill; keep Soupa under control. If he starts posting without thinking my jail vote may land on him. (to be honest, I may not regret it either)

Plus I can't wait to see what pictures you use to do so.

 

[#HBC | J]

Gova! We are in a game together again! Yay.

Haha sorry it's been a while besides the one we are hydras in.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

I'm getting a bit samey, I need to stock up on some new ones. Thankfully threadbombing didn't die like I thought it did, just a few of the images broke.

I'll do my best on Soup but it's Soup. :v

Like, seriously.

[#HBC | J]

Because it's Soupa, that's why I think you are the one who can adequately satiate him with the balanced amount of rage/wisdom with amusing pics.

True, I forgot about Bingo. Even so he thought I was town that game.

@Laundry: My "The hell" was more towards the first half of that post. And why did you find it necessary to state that you don't know what questions to ask any way?

 

[#HBC | J]

More to ya @ Zen then.

Zenny, should I be more open with my thoughts or keep things more to the chest? Why to both. Should others besides myself do the same?

 

[Xivii]

Play the way that best works for your win con.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

@Laundry: My "The hell" was more towards the first half of that post. And why did you find it necessary to state that you don't know what questions to ask any way?

because i thought it was directed at the second half. vagueness, man.

 

[#HBC | J]

What a perfect answer that really does nothing at all at the same time.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Soupa, at the top of your 35 you said we needed to look at things through a new perspective. What did you mean by that?

meaning that i know this isn't mafia, and we need to figure out who would give us most benefit to jail, and also, not un-voting and re-voting of course, so that's another thing.

Soupa, I don't buddy people just to buddy you realize? I buddy based off of other things. Most of your other questions/responses are dumb. It's like your trying to act like someone you aren't.

then who am i, exactly? who is soup to you? do you not approve of trying to approach this is a different way?

True, I forgot about Bingo. Even so he thought I was town that game.

@Laundry: My "The hell" was more towards the first half of that post. And why did you find it necessary to state that you don't know what questions to ask any way?

i thought J was town, not you. ;_;

i am curious of this also.

@WL, so you're just gonna post random pictures all game eh? fine by me, make me laugh.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Nah, I won't post random pictures. All of my pictures have purpose! Meaning! They are my art. Ignore the **** on my dA (cause it's dA rorf)

 

[#HBC | J]

meaning that i know this isn't mafia, and we need to figure out who would give us most benefit to jail, and also, not un-voting and re-voting of course, so that's another thing.

Shouldn't you jail the people you think are the most suspicious? Just like mafia? You also solved the unvoting/revoting with FoS's/HoS's.

then who am i, exactly? who is soup to you? do you not approve of trying to approach this is a different way?

*stares at the first two questions*

*walks away*

*comes back for last one*

Approach it a different way? I didn't approve of your intro post, but no one has really given an answer to what else we are supposed to do besides apparantly not go at it like mafia.

 

[Xivii]

because i thought it was directed at the second half. vagueness, man.

I'm talking about in your original post. The second half. Why did you feel it necessary to state it in the first place. Obviously you find it note worthy as well since you thought that is what I was refering to in the first place.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

I suppose, basically what i meant.

well the lest i am getting of you right now is that you don't approve because i'm not playing 'like soup' or something around those lines, so i would like you to answer them.

 

[#HBC | J]

Tell me what you gained from your 35 Soupa.

Tell me what you wanted to know from asking rhetorical questions, telling people what they are gonna do/threatening a bit, buddying, and saying things you don't know.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

They're called ice-breakers, J, i have seen people do this to get reads.

 

[#HBC | J]

Basically let me shorten my train of thought from it. I thought it was full of air/not real.

I also don't like unprecedented arrogance but that point is just a null-tell.

 

[#HBC | J]

I'm probably taking things a bit too analytically.

I'll step back.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Real or not, it's called ice-breaking, it gets a reaction out of someone, just like i just got one from you right now concerning it, so tell me how it was bad again?

 

[#HBC | J]

So tell me how was it good again?

Tell me what you learned thus far.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

i haven't 'learned' anything, that's beside the point, i got a reaction out of it, that's the point.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Because I feel Soup's getting off on the wrong foot. Maybe just a little bit. It's also a precursor to whatever Broto will come in and post. People will look for scum meta, scum tells, whatever, and I feel as if we may be looking for the wrong thing. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe we are looking for the same list of tells, but Overswarm has warned us at least once that this game is not Mafia and should not be approached as such. So Soup, who's trying to get reads through mafia methods without any confirmation that the same methods will work and the same reads still apply, may be starting off on the wrong foot and that may end up distracting him throughout the game. He has stated a number of time that he gets his reads on d1.

Well washed, that's what i was saying, i'm using questions to my advantage and playing a more socialable game because i feel this game will be alot back and forth rather then cases in itself.

 

[#HBC | J]

i haven't 'learned' anything, that's beside the point, i got a reaction out of it, that's the point.

And what do you plan to do with that reaction?

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

i plan to use it as a read, duh.

 

[#HBC | J]

So tell me what read you just learned because of gaining said reaction.

This is getting troublesome.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

I think your reaction is a bit over-analyzed and somewhat paranoid, but also i feel that it is a town reaction.

 

[#HBC | J]

Finally, the answer. But yeah, I am not doing this all game with you Soupa.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

However, I might be wrong too. I wanted to say we should keep an open mind but on second analysis, the overall objective for scum is the same in the phase: don't get mechanic'd. In mafia, the mechanic is lynching. In detective, it's jailed. The only thing that might change is town play.

 

[#HBC | J]

Bingo Washed.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

EBWOP: Also, all my ire at no convenient means of removing inactive or unhelpful players. That's going to be frustrating down the road if Soup does some naive stupid bull**** a la UTrick'd again and we can't efficiently shut him up because we can't remove him from the game by mechanics. And lurkers are the bane of all.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Ditto, J.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Well alright then. Time to actually get reads.

 

[#HBC | J]

So Soupa here is what you are gonna do to help the lot of us if you are gonna do the same.

You are gonna take your time and think before you post.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

uhhh..J, i did.

i knew exactly what i was doing.

@WL

Only reason i ****ed up is because i jumped the gun, and then i had legit reasoning to believe i was insane, i had a freakin' guilty on myself (was re-directed) and i had an inno on joey the other night, i put two and two together, and the miller claim ruined me, and that mason claim was bad too, there's alot of arcs that game went, so don't say the whole game was my fault.
