That's part of it sure, but there is a ton of more "meta" strategies than just being a convincing liar I'd say.

Knowing the maps, knowing the tasks and how long they take, and being able to read other player's behaviors ingame and in the meetings is a lot more important and is something that just takes a bit of practice.

Having the knowledge/experience makes your lies better too.

I played with some of the guys from the Destiny clan I am in and all the meetings we have just devolve into us not yelling at each other but just kinda sorta yelling at each other lol.

"Panda, the fuck were you doing?"
"My job you ingrate dipshit"

She was pretty bad. Ilhan picked it up immediately and got close to carrying them both as imposter. AoC murdered nobody and still got caught because she had sus voting patterns.

I mean they were both pretty bad in the context of what is actually good in that game.

I'd expect them to be bad especially in the crowd they were playing with.

Well, tremendous in the amount of it they do yes.

I used to be fully on the "all politicians lie" bandwagon. Now I am on a tiny rowboat by myself where they don't lie... but they certainly aren't 100% truthful.

What a pussy. Really, in the end, that's a lot of what it boils down to. He's a walking vagina.

This might amuse you. I've been spending so much time with only my wife partly due to the lockdown, on the odd occasion I'm out doing something, say playing pool, and my opponent says something and I want to respond in the affirmative, I've been catching myself saying, "Hai."

How much Japanese do you speak?

Benjamin Frnaklin once said of the Turkey, in comparison to the Bald Eagle, that it is “a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America...He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage.”

Didn't see a thread about the Sackler drug empire. They pleaded "corporate guilty" to crimes including pushing doctors to overprescribe. They have to pay 8 billion out of the company, but looks like they get to keep the billions they personally withdrew. Nobody is in any trouble. Fucking typical.

I'd be in favor of a wall if we could put the pharmaceutical industry on the other side of it. A great big wall that formed a circle. With a lid. No food but lots of sharp things.


So a thunderdome, I guess. I'm in favor of a thunderdome.

Very little now, sadly, even less than the sadly little I knew in the past several years when I had the odd occasion to use it, mostly just pleasantries and the necessities like how to order beer and ask for the washroom, though. Nothing to brag about. But it's often easy to reply to my wife with hai because it cuts through the buzz of background noise (like when the TV and stove fan are on at the same time)--she doesn't have to translate so it's more noticeable as a response from me-- and then it's just force of habit to do it nearly all the time.

I'm sure it has an air of pretention to it if you don't know me, but I intend nothing of the sort--it's a practical matter. Any other Japanese I might trot out is likewise well-intentioned as merely practicing to hang on to what little I can still remember. At the Japanese restaurant that opened here last year, they seem to really like it when I greet them and so on in Japanese.

Like a lot of other stuff I had going, my plans of learning more about the other languages I can speak a bit of went totally off the rails when I went into a major depression phase of the good ol' bipolar pendulum this year and I'm still struggling to get out of it. When I do, I expect to resume my study of Japanese. Other than the obvious issue of trying to remember all the vocabulary, I find it really easy to learn so I have no doubt if I just keep at it I can master it eventually. But I'd actually be satisfied if I could get to where I can have a full conversation with my brother-in-law without my wife having to translate all the time.
