I know there are some, some I know, some I don't. There are some folks that can nail me quick when I am scum. I am not going to indicate what I am aware of doing when I am scum. And sure, some things have changed, some things the same.In post 274, trebuchet tabby wrote:
I also learned a different style of play and a different game format. I also played games with the same 50-70 people game after game for a few years. I'm still experimenting to find some optimal styles for this environment. Playing games with a lot of people I don't know well is quite challenging, and has required the develoipment of some different skills.In post 266, PeaceBringer wrote:
we used to play at goalline blitz. Games kinda died out for about a year ago now. Downside of an MMORPG site He is a strong player, can play one way, switch off the next. I am the one "self-meta-ing" a lot because people get erect and start pointing digits at me and call me scummy for playing the way I do, which is NOT MAFIA SCUM style, period. I come from the "Werewolf" school of play that started at Footballguys and now has own private site and play manly with a lot of the same people over and over. I really enjoyed Goal-line blitz games which I played while taking a break from werewolf.In post 261, trebuchet tabby wrote:In the first (townie) game, post 123 is a self-meta of sorts. Lots of fatalism in that game. It apparently dragged on terribly. He moved his vote around a fair bit on day 2 and 3 given his activity level.
In the second (scum) game post =http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... p252209267 is another sorta self-meta.
I screwed up my earlier post and listed the 2nd game twice. here's the third game: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... er_sort=Go
I didn't see any meta references in that game. He came off as confused a lot in that game, asking for clarification. His votes also had more reasons attached.
He complained more about lack of player activity in the townie game. The cult game he was most verbose. In the townie and scum game there were more bare votes with little or no reasoning.
This isn't enough baseline for me to feel comfortable saying "yeah he self-metas a lot". This game is significantly different from his most recent prior games.
peacebringer, do you have more recent games on another site?
Indeed.FYI, I came back here after once having left over frustrating that are already returning mainly because of Jake. He will use gambits, he will fish for reactions. He will come on strong, or go mellow and smooth. Those elements aren't the tells per say. It is only day one as well. He will show himself one way or another. IMO. He is a bit calmer for sure though. It is worth watching.
Even a short meta dive of your games here in the past indicate some differences in your play style depending on your role. I will look at some more old games to see what sort of model I can put together, but I don't anticipate your old meta will be all that useful.In post 269, PeaceBringer wrote:oh and I was saying, what I play, and what I do, I do regardless of role. it is just unadulterated ME and the style I play.
And that's ok. There's a lot to be gained from watching your play here and now, and interacting with you here and now.-

I'm definitely playing it low key, especially day 1 cause I have been recently offended to the point I almost quit the site again. It's not the first time someone said something, it's the 3rd. I'm not sure why people have to be so hurtful when critiquing my play, but I'm not one of those people who can ignore things like that. It's funny, I can curse like a sailor and call people idiots, morons, etc but I don't think I would ever take it so far as people have with me.
So I'm taking it easy soaking it in and I'm not going to try and take the lead I perform much better once we have flips, especially scum flips.

THIS right here is why I keep saying d3x should know I'm town. I do this every time I'm town. Either he thinks I'm going against my meta on purpose to throw him or he's pushing my lynch because he's scum. Since he hasn't said I'm purposely going against my meta to fool him in any of his reasoning, the second must be true, hence my flip of my read on him.In post 273, trebuchet tabby wrote:Kthx is flipping around like a waffley pancake in regards to Dex..
And yes, I voted him when I thought he was town due only to his ridiculous post restriction annoying the shit out of me and making me take 10 times longer to read 1 of his posts versus any other post. Now however, it's because of his play being not that of what I expect town-d3x to play.If you think I'm scum D1, bet all your money I'm town.-

Amrun is Meh... I don't think she's town here.
Chk/Maestro don't impress me so far, and I'm interested in seeing where my other head is going with our vote
I like Rank pushing right off the bat, this feels like his town game though I don't like how he just completely ignored me. that isn't cool at all
not to interested in his PB case
Not to entirely fond of Jake
Don't like Porochaz
TNE is an unknown thing that is leaning scum
that Kyubei Hydra is null that is leaning town
I don't like how the game has devolved into... w/e this is with the set-up analysis and Meta stuff, but I feel like D3x is trying to keep us on track, regardless of what everyone else is doing. that's definitely town
and everyone really, really needs to leave Kthnx alone unless someone has something that isn't set-up analysis'y-

Man, d3x is so town. That's the exact reason I originally voted kthx.
He put down an RVS vote on d3x, then said PeaceBringer was scummy and didn't vote PeaceBringer, and this went on forever. It made no sense.-

This is the...Mami half, Cabd called it? But later he decided he's Mami, get your shit together before I change the icon jeez. Catchup post follows:
Self-meta is going to vary person to person as to alignment, not enough to convince me. But is there a non-awkward way to post an intro? RVS vote is a Scumtell? I thought he might've just been being silly to start the game with how hard he pushed it, but it got worse.
"He's Town lynch him anyways." Votes Amrun because her vote against Jake is "poor" but Jake and his votes against d3x aren't? Voting a Townread is somehow less Scummy than voting for somebody because they voted a Townie.In post 55, Kthxbye wrote:

vote: d3x
When making butter there is a little margarine for error
VOTE: d3x
Saddest thing about it is d3x is 99.9% town because he wouldn't pull this shit as scum and I don't see a MOD making scum have the single most annoying restriction in a game and one that will likely get him lynched because nobody wants to deal with it. If it's NOT a post restriction, then he's 100% town because I know him and I know what he is willing and not willing to do as scum. This is NOT something he would willingly do as scum.

The fact you're trying to take this stance to make my opinion of his posts somehow scummy is you looking for town points (re: TT)
If you feel you understand d3x's posts, feel free to agree to translate every single one of his posts and I will drop my vote. That or the MOD can reduce the restriction and I will drop my vote. Till then, policy lynch is a go for me.
Scummy because Town will make the attempt to read it just as hard as d3x is attempting to keep up with it. Town needs all the reads they can get. Scum doesn't need reads, they know who Town is, and playing off the frustration of d3x's restriction is a push for a mislynch.

If 3 post-restricted townies is unlikely, then either d3x or Jake are scum. If for some reason we have 3 post-restricted townies, then I hate quadz.
Also, I'm macho, so don't try to protect me.
His role claim is fairly safe (what Doctor is going to protect him?), and he has a "third ability." Three roles? Sounds OP.
Not to mention Townie or not, he's not Scumhunting. He's whining about post restrictions. I don't recall any Scumhunting that wasn't about d3x and Jake.
Jake I'm not sure if he's scummy or just ridiculous.In post 78, Jake from State Farm wrote:I'm not concerned with his alignment. If he's town it's an acceptable loss since I can't read his posts anyway. This is a true blue policy lynch.
Kthx’s vote on him puts him pretty Town I think. He looks like the easiest policy mislynch in the game.
d3x is Town. One of the most obnoxious restrictions I've seen, but that's the mod's fault (if is real). It’s hard to read tone under a heavy transliterated accent, but he seems honest.
Pyrotechnics is Town. It’s just as likely Amrun is Town as two Townies going at it and Scum sitting back letting them fight. Lightly confrontational, but null there I think.
Peacebringer I don’t like the role-fishing, but I’m not going to parrot other posts because none of it is my own findings. It’s purely off what I’ve seen in other posts. Was basically null before, I’m not confident in the read because it’s only based on a few cases.

I'm seeing painfully little scumhunting or much of anything from this account. There's more letters in their opening "SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG" than attempts at anything productive. More chatting than playing.-

so right now am reading kthxbye town and believe his claim...
my guess is 1 scum in the 4 voting him right now.
If folks do not think d3x is scum then amrun, maestro or jake...
for me that means a vote of amrun or maestro...
I also suspect that there is at least 1 BG in the NV segment- TT, Pyro, pro, and kyth-
at least one bg amidst Rank/NE
kyu- leaning town

I think we have enough posts and enough votes thrown around I can my first full re-read. Though it most certainly won't be today.
for now though I will reluctantlyunvote, after reading the game I played with kthx he isn't the same here, plus his paranoia over the post restrictions is probably a town-tell over a scum tell (or it could just be null)
