Same here, honestly though I'm wondering if when I read town in my role pm I lose 25 IQ points or something.

Only town does that?
Recklessness in this sense is by it's nature a townie attribute because a viable path to victory is ignoring surviva and just being concerned with catching scum, so if you ignore the implications of what you're saying, you're probably town. Scum can't afford to do this cause their wincon is survival.

Thing is, if people recognize it, there's a major difference in mentality produced by being more concerned with catching scum then whether your posts will be taken as pro or anti town. Which means it's another way to slip.

Checking your posts doesn't mean you are
more
concerned with them than with catching scum.
But checking your posts for scumtells (in other words checking for reasoning that you believe but people think is scummy to use) IS survival mentality, at that point you're more concerned with not making scumtells and thus not getting lynched then catching scum. This is a noticeable difference.

But townies DO have the ability to play in a manner which signifigantly prioritizes catching scum over being concerned with whether suspicion might fall on them (aka, reckless town).

I think you're missing my point, what I am attempting to do is encourage a metagame shift, for town to do something that scum can't follow. Proofreading isn't the issue really here, it's more what you're looking for in your posts when proof-reading.

Proofreading is the issue you've been talking about.
No it wasn't, my assertion was entirely based on WHAT to proofread, not whether to proofread period. The post I initially quoted talked about proof-reading in general, my post was a subtle topic switch to what to proofread for as a townie.

Ythan wrote:Where have you discussed what should and should not be proofread? Where is any of this that you are talking about?
It seems that you presumed I was talking about whether one should proofread when the entire time I was talking about what one should proofread for.


Therefore we were arguing two entire different questions.
