12. iguanaiguana - So I guess I've been implicitly trusting of iguana re: his meta infodump from earlier, though there's debate on what he even means by "solvy". In 334 he says I apparently misconstrued him on it meaning "analytical", then he seems to suggest they are not dissimilar in 339. This might just be semantics. However, speaking of 339, he describes his scumgame as being "solvy" (and, correct me if I'm wrong, that implicitly his town game as not?), but yet he describes himself as a "normal solvy fella" in our qt. It's weird more than anything else, but it follows that one of those evaluations isn't correct.
Oh, he also made 353, which I don't like. For a start, Silver/faust look very far from 100% in agreement to me. They synced votes on RR and Silver posted in faust's defense, but that was half a gamethread ago. Since then they haven't really shown any interest in eachothers' top suspects. Additionally, the extent of iguana's conclusion is that this is "interesting." Anything more to add to that?
Ok, this whole solvy vs. analytical thing is so much of a non-starter that I've been super-duper loathe to respond to it at all. But you keep bringing it up, so here goes.
It's a pain in the butt to explain every single player's meta and get all the details right. So I skipped a few people at the end by saying, "Hey they're pretty normal, they just try to solve the game like anyone else." Then you asked about me and I didn't know WTH to say about myself so I just said "Uh, I'm normal too." When you interpreted solvy to mean "analytical" it didn't sound quite right to me but I also didn't bother to correct it because it more or less DOES apply to how Gkrieg/ADK/Haddock/me all play. Then, Haddock decided to disagree with the analytical comment and go on his whole "Woe is me, I don't know how to mafia" rant. The thing is, Haddock is solvy/analytical/whatever. He's good at the game. He just likes to whine and moan and complain about himself. There, that's Haddock's meta.
I wasn't hoping for or expecting town points for telling you about the other players in the game. I was just bored and you seemed curious enough about people so I figured, why not let you in. I was acutally acutely aware that I could be giving all this information to scum but I figured, well if you have partners they would probably tell you anyway. It's common knowledge for all of us; you're the outsider. I was just being nice. And not in a buddying sort of way, because I expected no town-cred whatsoever for it.
