gollark: Perhaps they're semirandom. Perhaps I devise bespoke bluffs by myself and then share them. Perhaps my bluffs are optimized automatically via testing against high-fidelity computer simulations of all other participants. Perhaps I don't make bluffs but merely disseminate cognitohazards causing perception of bluffs. Perhaps my every word and bluff is meticulously generated to produce minimum guessing of me. Perhaps I never bluff and every word I say is accurate.
