Crap, didn't realize I hadn't said anything. I'm following along, but with this many people as I'm reading and catching up, every time I have a thought it seems like someone else had already said the thing before I got here, so I'm just having a hard time contributing in general.
In all the games I've played with Awaclus, this might be the first time I've read their posts and just thought they were town. Their usual playstyle (keeping stuff very close to the vest, low info shared) just has always made them hard to read, so this is weird.
I think Ash is probably telling the truth and doing what he thinks is best for town. I disagree with him that exiling him now would be best for town.
Would whoever it was (Swowl maybe?) that referenced scola's last scum game and playstyle drop the game that they were pulling that from? Or scola, just which game were you scum in? I might not have a ton of original thoughts, but I could go read that game to see if that was a fair comparison between the two games and look for other things that might point to scum!scola.
Dropped.
Who do you think is scum? What do you think about the cylon testing machine result?
Thanks my dude.
I don't know yet. It feels like 80% of the conversation has been driven by the same 6 people, so there's a whole lot of people I just don't have a feel for this game yet. I think generally the most active people have been townie, but scola has pinged scum bells a little bit, hence why I want to look into the other game.
I think it's probably more likely true than false, with no basis for that belief other than the thought "If I were designing a mechanic to introduce useful but possibly incorrect info to the game, how would I do it?" I appreciate Robz' flavor explanation a lot, and based on that I think there's probably very little we can conclude about alignment from species info. Having said that, if we hypothetically could know like here are the X players who are cylons, we would probably find most but probably not all of the cylon-aligned players in that pool. At least, that's my intuitive sense of things that could be completely wrong. Like if there were several humans early in the show that all worked against humanity to help the cylons, that could even be grounds for an entire human cylon-aligned team to start the legacy game, with cylon-aligned cylons being the characters that the next game's mafia team gets. To be clear, I don't think an all human mafia team is likely here, but within the context of a legacy game, maybe it could make sense. All that to say, I have no idea man lol.
I feel like I need to start watching this show. Not to have a grasp on flavor for this game, but if the show is as interesting as these game mechanics make it out to be, it'd be totally worth it.
