Consciousness can only take in one image at a time. Only after half a second does space become available for the next image. We call this the attentional blink. Consciousness therefore works as a serial process. Just think of the well-known drawing in which you see either a young or an old woman in profile. You can switch between them, but it is impossible to see them both at the same time..same way it is also impossible to wave your arms in circles to the right while waving your legs in a circle to the left at the same time..its very easy to stretch your both arms and make circles to the right. It is also very easy to stretch your legs while seated and wave them in circles to the left. But doing both at the same time - waving your arms in circles to the right and waving your legs in circles to the left is impossible. Try it.

And our consciousness has even more limitations. For example, it can only oversee seven related topics at a time. So adding more then seven topics is creating a short circuit for the conscious mind. Great tactic.


To countr it, very often we act unconsciously. We call that intuitive,'. When acting unconsciously, the subconscious directs the consciousness to express a thought or feeling or to do something. This happens automatically and we get a "red flag" or "spider sense" that pops up in our mind.

After all the first task of the subconscious mind is to create peace and security. It does this by monitoring the environment and paying attention to the behavior of fellow humans.

Especially if you are playing this mafia cult game fully concentrated.

I just experienced a red flag spider sense..


Ragian needs to tell me where the party is so i can get drunk with him.

Sure, why not, at this point I'm all for finding out if Ragian is The Thing... or just a flavor-hating grouch.

Unvote
BT Ragian

Thats 4 votes on Ragian while needing 5 to BT him if im not mistaken.. I opened a good bottle of Puglia DOCG to let it all sink in. Funny how the mind works. If you reread a posted message for the second time then in most cases you read another possibility aswell. Especially if your enjoying a great wine.

All i know is im gonna enjoy a good Toscane DOCG next before making up my mind.

This is a good game

Okay, sure Sonic, take your time.
Revel in the fact that nobody else, except me, thought you were asking for the BT.
...but let's not give up hope. There is still the lynching.

Even when im drunk i know that im not gonna be lynched Flaps.

If Ragian is a thing he is gonna get lynched, and if he is not you are..

You just keep trying waving your arms to the right and your legs to the left while seated. Im pretty sure you tried it 5 times by now.. snap out of it Flaps. If i wanted to hammer you for lynch and Ragian for BT i would have done so by now.

Bottle of the Toscane is half empty. Right now i think BT Ragian (who i think is the recruit is best choice). So tik tok. Im gonna vote when the bottle is empty.

What if we are being played? Something does not add up here.

And Traf is way too silent for days now like he has given up or he wants us to move forward on this without any intervention..

Both paths do not sound like a Traf townie to me..

2 more glasses in the bottle

Ok, up and running for a ballsy move. I saw votanic, swang and EW online tonight and i trust charle. So at least 2 townies are on this.

Votanic scored points with me not changing his vote. We will have to stand together if Ragian does not test positive.

My mind says its Traf but it says also that we cant get 5 votes on Traf...

SO

BT Ragian

No reaction

Lol. Ok ragian can call the shots for me.

Sorry for being quiet. I'm trying to reread people. So far I've reread Trafs day 1 posts. And also Ragians which now seems moot. I didn't get recruited. Ragian didn't get recruited. Someone like EW or Traf could have been recruited if not the recruiters. Don't think Son!c was recruited. Seems more and more likely that the Recruiter did just target Dega.

Ok Regian was not the thing not recruited either. So the one we can trust today.

Didn't wanted to vote him as some people are after me for no real reason tbh.

Honest question for everyone but specially for Ragian - Do you think the thing or the recruited or both voted or a BT on you or remained quiet behind?

Interesting! Well, if you don't know who I think is The Thing, then you haven't really been paying attention.

I just woke up and am on my way back from the wedding with a massive head. When the wee bairn is tugged in tonight, I'll get my head around this. I have a lot to say.

yes, now it is going to get interesting. We need to vote for 2 people, one for the lynch and one for mac to burn tonight if he still have those powers.

I really looking forward to Ragian's post when he feels a bit better

The Thing(s) have the information that the BT will be negative in advance. I dont think both would ever be a part of this, because it attracts needless attention to be 2/5 of the votes.

I dont like Sonic's vote and I dont like Votanic's vote. Sonic unvoted and seemed to be reconsidering but all of a sudden then hammered the BT through a mere 4 hours after I stated that with Sonic's unvoting, I wouldn't mind keeping up some pressure.

Votanic... I understand the vote, but:

Unvote
BT Ragian

Leaving this part out I dont mind the vote at all considering their back-and-forth. This makes it read opportunistic. Then again, Votanic knows he is bound to receive a lot of heat putting Rag on L-1 KNOWING Rag wants to lynch him. I dont think a Thing, converted or not, would risk that.

I'm just sad I believed that people wouldn't hammer the BT before Rag properly responded.

I should have listened to my spidervoice.. But the situation after the result is not the same as the situation before the result.. When you voted for Ragian after my unvote it felt like "let's go". And you where online the entire evening. So that is why i posted i was gonna hammer Ragian. If you did not wanted it you could have said it

I know you think is Votanic, was just asking in general

Extreme Ways wrote:Sonic you're overthinking it, I just dont want him to get to BT-1 before he says more

Sure thing pal

Where are you getting the thing from that I was online the whole evening? I may not have announced my leave, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't checking in every hour that evening. And if you think I was, why aren't you pushing for me for the thing I posted?

I'm doubting Sonic again and I'm not sure if it's with good reason, so I'm just laying it out here.

D1, Sonic doesn't hammer Dega. Gets some shit for it because Tonic was all for uniting but wasnt willing to vote for dega.
D2, Tonic hammers Ragian. Still wants to unite town but:

BT me or BT Traf or BT whoever you want.

Saying we need to be united is counter productive it seems.

I don't have a problem with you wanting town to be united. Cool. Easy thing to say but it's true. Just remind me, who were the hold outs on the Dega BT day 1? I seem to remember a very active player whose User name starts with S being a prominent one. It feels to me that you more want town to be united with you than just wanting town to be united.

Is Town!Tonic overreacting to this to fix his behaviour, or is Scum!Tonic just 'uniting town' while drinking and explicitly saying in the tick mafia that you shouldnt drink & mafia?

I also dont like how he isnt pushing me for my post towards him, but I've mentioned that before.

Forgot to include this quote. "My mind says this BT is wrong but it also says we cannot get 5 votes on Traf so let me hammer this right now". I dont like it when people vote but try to escape accountability. It makes it seem like you know from outside information that the BT will be negative and that you build good boy points for not believing in it.

I thought it was Ragian. I was wrong.

Yes we're both unhappy Ragian was not positive but a decision had to be made. And nobody wants to vote for Traf..
