I disagree.In post 18, Taylor wrote:I certainly think it is not.
VOTE: Taylor
No, but knowing your experience with the game helps the town to determine whether how you play is due to your experience (or lack thereof) as a player or due to your alignment. What pro-town reasoning is there for hiding your familiarity with the game?In post 20, Taylor wrote:Dodging a question that is irrelevant to the game is worthy of a vote, willwang? Would you say that your experience playing mafia is relevant to your alignment?-

I don't care that you are a hydra. You have still not answered my question.
When I play against newbies, at least I know they are newbies and I can attribute their behavior to that. Even if someone is using an alt, they still can tell me how long they've been playing mafia for.
Why are you so intent on dodging this question? Why is it such a big deal that you don't want to say how familiar you are with mafia? Why do you want to hide your identity so much? Honestly I don't think I would even play significantly differently if I knew who you were (because in all likelihood I don't even know you), but I don't see what the fuss is about.-

No, there is no hope for you.
Alright, I'll leave it up to the rest of the town if they care about who you are. They are more likely to know you anyway.In post 34, Taylor wrote:
You're the one making a fuss. When I say I think it's irrelevant, and I don't wish to disclose the heads, and basically ask you to use your own wits to determine my alignment, then you should respect that. The heads will be anonymous because this is a learning project for me to get better at mafia. Arguing about it and trying to get me to reveal the heads is just rude and a waste of time. If you wouldn't play significantly differently, than what is the big deal?In post 30, XScorpion wrote:Why are you so intent on dodging this question?

If it will make you focus on the game and not whether I'm a newbie or not, I have been on the site almost a year. I don't know how long the other head has been, but longer than me.
p-edit: mollie I'll tell you when I'm ready.
You think what I said is an attempt to make you look suspicious? Is it impossible for town to worry about what the rest of town thinks?In post 36, Taylor wrote:
Ew. You just "stressed" it's not alignment indicative and then throw this out there. Pretty blatant attempt to cast suspicion with something that is not suspicious.In post 32, XScorpion wrote:(I know Taylor is worried about town thinking that).-

Oh that reminds me, in future when it isn't RVS please don't make votes unless both of you agree. It's confusing enough that there are two of you and I will not approve of nonsense like 'oh sorry I voted for you yesterday but I didn't consult my partner and he told me I was wrong herp derp let me just vote hop over here'.
Caught what now?In post 47, Taylor wrote:Well he caught you before I did, but we seem to be on the same page, so you shouldn't worry too much.-

This is a lie. I am not afraid. Mod is lying and therefore scum.

I considered but decided that discussion of the setup is not helpful at this stage of the game and it is more productive to use this time scum hunting and not speculating.In post 106, shos wrote:eh, anyone has anything to say about the setup maybe?-

Can you at least sign your messages as Head A or Head B or something? Because I swear if this is just the beginning of more nonsense then I'll eat my own words and actually policy lynch you just for being a nuisance.In post 124, Taylor wrote:You are correct that the reaction of my partner was overblown.-

The problem with this 'defense' is that there is no actual way for anyone to tell which head is which. For all we know, the reaction and this defense are both from the same head.In post 124, Taylor wrote:You are correct that the reaction of my partner was overblown. But you have my word that it is null, coming from someone who was eager to play and who is expecting to learn. That is the only defense I can offer about it.
All this thinking of different heads and different personalities is annoying and frustrating and I don't want it anymore. No more please.-

I'm starting to understand why Albert B. Rampage didn't want to be in this game if there are hydras. I'm probably going to take the same viewpoint in the future unless there is no more hydra bullshit in this game. Keep your stories straight and I'm just done if I see a SINGLE more instance of 'oh it wasn't me it was my partner'.-

How often does this actually work for you people?In post 150, Taylor wrote:As an aside, the usage of "anti-town" here rather than "scummy" or "pro-scum" pings as being scum-oriented language usage.
The entire beginning of the game is a mess of confusion. I have no idea, until you started signing your name, which head was which and who said what.In post 152, Taylor wrote:Where are you confused, Scorp?
I tend to lynch people who pull shit like this.In post 153, Taylor wrote:
You say it's an example of us not being transparent, when it's an example that proves we are. Saying that one of us had an overblown reaction is not hiding behind our hydra. That same exact statement could come from a slot that has only one player, simply replacing "one head" with "I". "One head had an overblown reaction, but trust me, it is alignment-null." Is exactly the same as "I had an overblown reaction, but trust me, it is alignment-null."In post 149, XScorpion wrote:

Decently. It's not a 100% tell, but it's reliable enough to be worth pushing.

'Trust me' sounds like you are trying to manipulate people which is scummy. What happened to you not caring what town thinks about you?Taylor wrote:
No it's literally just you. You are a mess of confusion. Besides me you have the most posts in the whole game, everywhere, and it's confusing as fuck trying to guess who said what.In post 155, XScorpion wrote:
This implies that there are things to you that are confusing other than us. What were those other things?The entire beginning of the game is a mess of confusion.
Also, what makes the mess of confusion in this game different from a mess of confusion that you'd experience in another game?
Taylor wrote:In post 155, XScorpion wrote:
Not worded like that, and not necessarily from you. But yes. I would, given select circumstances. The timing of the move. The wording of the move. The familiarity with the style of play. (You might not know who I am, but you can tell what players I am similar to even without an identity.) If it was a town-oriented confession, hell yes I would unvote them. You're implying that the only thing mattering is the words, when words are useless; it's everything surrounding the words that's important. But theoretically speaking in just the words, you left out the most important ones. "Trust me" changes the entire message presented.In post 156, XScorpion wrote:If I said "I'm sorry about this whole game, it was an overblown reaction and alignment-null", would you unvote me? Of course you wouldn't because that's fucking stupid.
My game-related alignment-related issue is that if you are scum we have literally no way to find out because we can't read you because we can't tell who is speaking and if the person who is speaking speaks for both heads or just one.
I'd like to nominate this for dumbest fucking thing I've heard in the whole game.In post 163, Taylor wrote:You might not know who I am, but you can tell what players I am similar to even without an identity.-

Uh-huh. "Trust me" is manipulation.'Trust me' sounds like you are trying to manipulate people which is scummy.
Funny that someone who seems to place importance on words is placing so much importance on an aspect that is entirely separated from them. Our identities do not change that we said the words in the first place.

(I am working on synching us up to be the same.) But you certainly don't believe this, because you explicitly say that you think it's stupid that our identities could influence things, here.
You're contradicting yourself.

1) I put forth the alternative explanation that I'm town who is fucking tired of bullshit language arguments being used to accuse me.
2) this whole game is about figuring out WHO the scum is, or am I playing the wrong game?
3) the reason its the dumbest fuxking thing is because I CANT compare play styles because I have no idea who is who-

This isn't a theme/bastard game, where one head can be town and the other scum. We share the same alignment. You're not trying to figure out who the scum is. You're trying to figure out who we are. Not WHAT we are.-
