I'm not a pro at this game but IMO TWG shouldn't be viewed as a logic game, at least in its connotative sense (it technically is a logic game in the denotative sense)
The two most used tools in this game, in logical terms, are abduction and induction-deduction. Abduction and induction are both used to obtain premises, and deduction is used to arrive at conclusions.
Abduction + deduction leads to circular reasoning, and induction + deduction leads to bias and false premises.
The bottom line is that there are no axioms in TWG: every "rule" we know is constructed from social observation. Without true axioms, you can't expect to reach consistent conclusions.
The appeal to logic is really just an appeal to the connotative sense, which is often used to suggest that "my reasoning is better than yours because logic is impartial", but that's just not true.
I do admit that gut feelings are less useful in TWG insofar as they are impossible to communicate to other people, but to suggest that they are weak or are inferior to reasoning is delusional

that's kind of a sad statistic
see?
evolution?
that post makes me want to lynch you DBP, and then I get to procreate with someone else who doesn't have a negative opinion of drugs or emotions in TWG

CONTENT WARNING: pedantry
The denotation of "biological evolution" is different than the denotation of "evolution of thoughts"

you're talking about checking the thread once per phase - meaning for votes
lynching within 3 is a sentiment tps could also express privately, and everything i've heard about the aim era tells me it was also rather active, just way more chat-based
you said this in the context of telling me the timing wouldn't be weird, but picking a group of 3 people to lynch in is something he could also say in a chat, so just saying that's how twg used to be isn't explanatory to me here
also doesn't say much about the timing of that one post per phase, while we're talking about posts specifically
oh no, sorry, I missed a part
since you only open the thread once a phase you also only vote once a phase so that would be when he voices his suspicions, and depending on idk, what phase the moon is, either a safety vote or a real vote
While a lot of what ind has said i dont understand (his whole thing on me and cel must being a pair) i like his read on tps.
I still am kinda spooked by the whole sunfan comments about tps from earlier but im not sure how much weight that carries right now.
Also what do you mean by blinds paranoia, especially when (was it you?) who stated that his wolf and town games are really similar, i cant remember who said it. I am unsure of how i feel about blind personally but i wanna know more where you are comin from
