I urge paul to vote for ++--, and for ++-- to vote for me. Not only will this put a vote on everyone, but it will also appease those with OCD

It is natural if being a leader comes naturally. Leadership isn't inherently "town" nor "scum," just like being quiet isn't inherently "town" or "scum."

It would appear you are a thinker also, maybe even an over thinker (not that that is a bad thing maybe I should replace the word over with meticulous?) I wouldn't say I'm spontaneous more I just say it as I see it but I suppose that would be for other people to decide!!!


Are you then a thinker for thinking that he is a thinker?


I'm thinking that you're thinking far too hard about the consequences of the thinker (paul) thinking about the other thinking thinker (copper).

At least I think I got that right, someone pls confirm

In post 54, ++-- wrote:UNVOTE: Cabd VOTE: choof

And I also have my first scumread, namely, choof, for being generally unhelpful in the discussions with their randomish messages, which are not anywhere near a certain scumtell, but definitely worth taking into account. As he had no votes on as of this point, I changed my vote to him.


Was wondering when we'd get one of these votes. If you don't mind, I'm going to paraphrase this so people can read it later in the game.

In post 54, ++-- wrote:UNVOTE: Cabd VOTE: choof

Choof isn't contributing to the minimal amount of discussion (which I started, everyone take note of this please), therefore I will put a vote on him because he's an easy target, and, more importantly, he makes a good policy lynch.

By "pretty good chance," do you mean that you're already trying to meta someone who has 4 posts? Or are you going off something like, "oh singer's been a townie in every game I've played with him, he's

I'm conflicted with what Cabd's doing at the moment. As IC, obviously you have to be a guiding light of sorts for new players, but as a player yourself, you'd want to win for whatever team you're on.

Are you telling someone about your meta so they can learn how to meta someone with a bias, or are you deliberately feeding them a bad meta?

Okay, I get that you're basically trying to construct baits, but just one question: do you seriously expect an IC to answer something like 'deliberately feeding a bad meta'? And, if, what I find more likely, this was a rhetorical question: what was the point?

I will use that nice blue color whenever my post is meant as an IC post and not as a player playing this game post. If it's in my blue, it's factual theory stuff, not game play content.

This is a game question not a theory question, but I can speak in generalities. Please remember to bold questions of theory in the future to help me find them in your posts.

Generally, most players don't bother to lie about meta because all posts from our prior games are publicly visible. All you have to do is click a player's username and then select "show this yser's threads" and read away for a sense of their games as each alignment. That said, there are a few players on this site who intentionally play off-meta to confuse players using this technique. Nachomamma8 would be one example.



Anyways, in this case, there's no bias per say. I declared, in this case, a read of matching another player's meta to my meta. It's not "meta (or bad meta) for a read on cabd" it's "you remind me of how old-cabd approached towngames, here's a link showing the old me I'm seeing in you"

neat, thanks


You're making a logical fallacy here, so I ask you, choof.
