to do dumb shit F4R TEH LULZ LMAO in a game people devote months of time into playing.


I've noticed this hand-in-hand with a "cases are scummy" attitude that discourages lucid thought processes in favour of giving towncred to people who just post shit like "#202 is p town" or "[playername] is scum, VOTE: playername".

Sadly I haven't rolled scum recently, because I feel like I could get away with murder (literally) under this meta.


In all fairness, cases and logic are actually scummy. Or at the very least not towny.

Like, any argument about cases being a pro-town thing turns mafia into "let the alignment of the best communicators win," which is pretty dumb.

(The reasoning behind "cases are scummy" is that it's a lot easier for scum to succeed when you force the game out of the realm of gut into the realm of logic because logic is relatively easy to fake, especially for someone with strong communication skills. By keeping the game on a gut-level, scum are forced into more unnatural situations trying to imitate town thought processes)

Also the way you read more casual/less reason/more gut based play is positionality and timing, which are two of the things I excel at so I obviously bias towards people playing that way
