Mini 1769: Ice Cream Mafia - Game over!

[Phoenix Wright]

I'd like to replace out. I'm not enjoying this game at all

[TellTaleHeart]

town-Kain is suspicious of everyone, even people not trying to mislynch him and Phoenix Wrought. It's very healthy mistrust.

But he's not suspicious of everyone...

I don't see the scum narrative. His scum strategy is to skip reading the thread and draw attention to himself? I don't believe he's played 1000 games of "town of salem" but I believe he's played 10. You're not really painting me a very believable picture, your just pushing an easy day 1 VI lynch.

It reads to me like someone with the mentality small child playing hide-and-seek, hiding in the corner and covering his eyes thinking "if I can't see you, you can't see me", hoping that if he doesn't look at the danger it will just go away.

Whether Kain in fact has that mentality or he's just projecting it, it fits somebody of that mentality

deliberately trying to deceive

EBWOP: I agree it's not a standard scum picture, but I cannot find a town picture that includes that post which even makes any sense.

[popsofctown]

Kain is really taking the "hide" out of hide and seek, Aquanim. He posts frequently, in all caps, and posts even if he has nothing about the game of which to speak.

[popsofctown]

The best way to read a VI is the measure their fear of death.

What the fuck does that even mean?

I don't even see how this is germane to what's going on in the thread.

GuyFawkes will be replacing Masquerade.
Phoenix Wright has requested replacement, seeking one now.

The point of the analogy isn't the "hide-and-seek" part, it's the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" part.

It's pretty fucking high from what I'm seeing.

[popsofctown]

That was a characterization of what Aquanim had just told me.

This

seems more relevant to personality than alignment.

And iirc someone said he's played more chillaxedly in a different game where he was town, and he's even less concerned with keeping a low profile this game. Assuming this game is the one where he's drawn scum would be a Too Scummy To Be Scum argument.

[Aquanim]

No, it's really not. I didn't say Kain skipped reading the thread and drew attention to himself as scum.

The scenario which makes sense to me is that Kain read the thread, saw there was pressure on him, then decided he'd *pretend* not to have read the thread, so he wouldn't have to answer to the pressure.

These are... some words.

You want to take another shot at whatever you were trying to say sweetie?

[popsofctown]

I just can't give the much masterminding credit to someone who thinks ice cream is a good idea for an upset stomach.

[popsofctown]

Don't call me sweetie

I think it was this game:

in which he never got wagoned, which is what's driven him to his higher-profile activity this game.

[popsofctown]

How much attention one draws to oneself should indeed be based on meta, but Kain is exceeding even his own meta in terms of suicidal flashy behavior, so it should be seen as alignment indicative.

[Aquanim]

"Cover your eyes and pretend nobody is looking at you" is mastermind-level play now?

[popsofctown]

Relatively speaking.

He was pretty conspicuous before he got wagoned, there wasn't much of an uptick (or much room to uptick) once he got wagoned.

I think that was a cheeky reference to the game title. :S

Don't call me sweetie

I'm from the south so I unconsciously throw that word around casually sometimes. Apologies.

[Aquanim]

Let's go back to where I started.

Do you think Kain had read the thread and knew he was under pressure when he posted #206?
