How much have things shifted?

[callforjudgement]

Postgame discussion still happens most of the time. I agree that it sometimes doesn't, though.

(Also, your signature's advertising signups for a game that started in 2015. You might want to fix that.)

It's just a bummer but sometimes I can understand if the mod didn't have time or something. Also, I'm not into nai either. So is it just me and you from the same year, callforjudgement?

i think overconfidence in reads is more toxic than seeing most of the game as null

If I had everyone as null I'd feel sad and cry on my pillow everyday until I had the emotional energy to scream at someone with all my hatred because they are scum.

Ok I'm caught up now. Here's an interesting tidbit:

My use of the --- is influenced by MOI's usage of it. I use it all the time now. (I like making my posts pretty)

I care a lot about players claiming how confident they are in their reads truthfully. It makes it harder for scum to hide (as they have to come up with a believable confidence as well as a believable read), and in the case where the person claiming the read is town, it makes it easier for the town to collectively scumhunt.

If someone claims to be super confident in a read, I'm more likely to lynch the read target, and more likely to lynch the person claiming the read if the target flips town.

that person is titus

what is your next course of action

There are some people who are habitually overconfident in their reads though

[callforjudgement]

If someone has a habit of claiming confident reads when they aren't, I'm most likely to treat them as a VI.

I don't think people being more confident in their reads makes them more likely to be right

[Raskolnikov]

I'd normally agree entirely. Pretending to very confident on a read you actually aren't is dishonesty and it's hard to judge that dishonesty and fakeness apart from just an entirely fake read from scum.

But in my case I find I have to exaggerate a bit because my natural state is extreme over the top doubt and second guessing, which would be entirely unproductive to share if I wanted to get something done. My strongest scumread in a game can still be kind of weak sometimes.
X is scum for these reasons, vote him -> other people vote X and I can use the pressure to judge them more closely
X is maybe scum but I don't really know -> low pressure, furthermore people get annoyed at me personally for being "wishy-washy","low-commitment/opportunistic", etc.

[callforjudgement]

My normal workaround is "A, B, and C, and these point to X being scum because D". How much I think D actually is scum depends on how much evidence there is for other players. (Sometimes when a game slows down I'll try to make a case for scum on

everyone

and then see which I think is the strongest.)

I don't think I've ever been as angry at anyone in a game as I was during that one game where I was a mason and Titus was town.


I like her as a person and so I avoid playing with her.

Except maybe Pikmin Mafia and whatever game it was where that guy said he could understand why my wife left me. I legit wanted to punch that fucker in the face.

[Killthestory]

getting mad at people is useless so i prefer to just make funny jokes and ignore that person

it probably doesnt work

[Ranmaru]

I think I realized it guys. Maybe its becausr we are growing too old for this now and no one uses forums anymore.

[Gamma Emerald]

I think it's because you didn't stick around to teach your old ways and you really just need to deal with it

[Firebringer]

I always find it funny when people have a nostalgic view of the old times
