Questioning: What should be the best approach regarding this

[zMuffinMan]

before asking a question: "is any answer someone gives to the question i'm asking

really

going to tell me something about their alignment now or potentially in the future?" and/or "what answers am expecting to this and will these really move the game forward in some meaningful way?"

[zMuffinMan]

to be fair, though, you'd be correct to call someone a shitty player for basing their reads on a dumbass reaction test

[zMuffinMan]

i think the amount of time someone is correct about what a "reaction test" means is roughly the amount of time you might expect someone to be right by random chance

[zMuffinMan]

it's bad because it introduces unnecessary elements into the game

if you can analyse someone's posts as well as you say you can, then you can do it without "reaction tests"

[zMuffinMan]

right. whatever. all i'm going to say is the calibre of player who would look bad from a reaction test as scum is the kind of player who is going to be obvious as scum anyway, and vice versa for town players

if you truly believe they work, then good for you, i guess
