yes, shooting a marginal townsperson is mathematically suboptimal.
putting my joking aside im still gonna read people with the psychological effect i described in mind, because it seems quite applicable to other players, if not yourself. actually, let me ask you directly.
do you think apparent willingness to get shot is a towntell? (putting on hold the fact that if you were to conclude it is a towntell the mafia would have to wifom off it)
Nyte said "i prefer to win games from the gy anyway".
on one hand you could read this as a slip since villagers dont die when shot.
on the other you can consider this a first-order hbotz towntell read since mafia doesnt want to die and villagers dont rly care / would feel vindicated (unless they are maniacs calibrated for winning games like KrazyKat)
of course since nyte would be claiming she simply did not understand the mechanics as town this towntell is of the regular strength for any situation where alleged villager is threatening being shot (not the particular haha i get the gun one)
yea i was also thinking its either a scum slip cuz she wouldnt die, or a town slip since scum tends to pay more attention to mexanix and town doesnt read
ur playing kind of scared arent u? nobody has proposed shooting you i understand youre trying to justify why you dont want to get shot, but it seems a wee bit excessive if the gun isnt pointed at you, no?
im just bullying u a little
also in the event that someone being misshot doesnt have good reads / doesnt want to internalize the responsibility / cant psychologically find a reason to cope with shooting wrong you can just always ask the gunbearer to name a second person
if you wanted me to mount a proper defense id tell you im just in theorycraft/shitposting mindset right now and just typing things conversationally without trying to influence anyone in a certain way
i was thinking out loud more in terms of whether or not ur mafia and u wanted to show us "im drilling kittykat" but in the next line try to "calm him down" to avoid a "1v1" but if ur town what u said is valid and makes sense. like, u perceiving my post as an advice rather than suspicioun (which is what it was). i do get the feeling that ur power level (in terms of mafia ) is higher than average but ill take the risk and still townread u
ah. i did parse it as suspicion, i just dont have a good defense.
its a fundamentally good criticism because it implies i dont have a consistent mindset of exposing and lynching the mafia (which indeed i was not in the mindset of doing) since my actions are going in two different directions
