using the argument "too bold for mafia" is a dangerous path my friend, it has landed me many a win as scumIn post 647, Alisae wrote: Some aspects of 639 already I think take some guts to write from mafia. I probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Follow up by 640 and uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Lol if we rolled scum together this game I'd be absolute TROLLING right nowIn post 630, hellbooks wrote:you should
but wait to grab the hammer, get guiltied, then let balts clutch it out in ELO. anecdotally, this is a 100% winning strategy

To answer your question, i would ask you to refer to my devil4lyfe pool. Ofc i've been a little shaken on sky & tris. I dont have a townread on baltar. I'm actually quite willing to be a warm body on a sheep lim (a sheep if you will). Yes, my own partner! The scandal! That being said, i would discourage you from expecting me, or indeed many other people, to have opinions on people, or associations between people, that are as strong as yours. But it doesnt seem like from my perspective that folks turning up the heat on sheep is at the moment yielding veal, which i use as a food metaphor, to emulate your own gimmick, for "better answers."
right right. on its wayIn post 586, Skygazer wrote: tris could you expand upon your garlic read?
the genius of this post is I can't tell if its a meme or if it's seriousIn post 655, tris wrote: hey does anyone else townread hellbooks for this post?
so I guess my answer to this is no and I am actually quite worried that you do.In post 655, tris wrote:hey does anyone else townread hellbooks for this post?In post 639, hellbooks wrote: For me, a big part of the fun of mafia lies in the social and joking around with friends aspects.

I mean, it's not that I don't care. It's just that every single time before that I *did* react to it, I would be called defensive and scummy and then get misyeeted yet again, so I took the fuck it approach, pressure me as much as you want but I know damn well nothing I say is going to change your mind so fuck saying anything in that line. I'll just let my actions speak for me instead. Makes playing less of a shitty emotion drain that way too.In post 648, Garlic Bread wrote:i take full credit and we pretend i never reevaluated ( i want to pressure xof but i know that town xof doesnt care how much u pressure them u cannot get squeeze blood from a rock, so its largely useless to do so to help clear them)In post 646, Alisae wrote: mebbe it's just vp + sheep gg x_x
See, that's why I signed up for this game at all given I was already kinda burnt out on mafia, a lot of people I really enjoy were playing so I wanted to play too. And sure a lot of people may not have that as their motivational reasoning, but I don't think this game has a lot of the sorts of people who *are* anti-shitposting and anti-friend posting. I don't think that's the direction people are pressuring you from, but maybe i'm misreading.In post 639, hellbooks wrote: For me, a big part of the fun of mafia lies in the social and joking around with friends aspects.
