Discontinuity error.

Trolls get frenzy bonuses. Town are trolls.
Your pm says that being a troll makes you not get frenzy bonuses? LIES.

I blame you for this.

Thing is, if people recognize it, there's a major difference in mentality produced by being more concerned with catching scum then whether your posts will be taken as pro or anti town. Which means it's another way to slip.

But checking your posts for scumtells (in other words checking for reasoning that you believe but people think is scummy to use) IS survival mentality, at that point you're more concerned with not making scumtells and thus not getting lynched then catching scum. This is a noticeable difference.

Um, we're not talking about checking it for scumtells. We're talking about obvious stuff like not claiming you're in a quicktopic with DEAD SCUM.

Townies have an incentive to not get lynched, too. It's called playing towards their wincon.

But townies DO have the ability to play in a manner which signifigantly prioritizes catching scum over being concerned with whether suspicion might fall on them (aka, reckless town).

Show me a single example of proofreading negatively effecting one's ability to focus on scumhunting or please just stop repeating yourself.

I think you're missing my point, what I am attempting to do is encourage a metagame shift, for town to do something that scum can't follow. Proofreading isn't the issue really here, it's more what you're looking for in your posts when proof-reading.

This sounds like a scum power. Is town flavor cop common? Combine with Alpha's play yesterday, Rhinox's non-helpful questions, and the lurking, and I'm on board. Also, Anon's questions about why
Alpha would target CML
and Rhinox's admitting that it makes no sense makes this a pretty easy vote.

Unvote
Vote: Rhinox


SharkFinn and Robbnva are still scummy, in fact, I'm starting to lean more scummy on Robbnva than SharkFinn.
The bold underlined was the scumslip. It was a slip because Rhinox(Alpha) had said he knew who Claire was, but HADN'T said that Claire was CML. I knew Claire was CML because Rhinox(Alpha) were my buddies and they'd rolecopped CML the night before and told me. :oops:

Hilariously I survive this day despite people seeing my slip and pointing it out and then go on to survive the whole game and win it for our team. Hilarity all around.
I still can't believe how this went down. I mean, you were even questioned about it, and then the next day after I was lynched, it was just like everyone forgot it was said :lol:

No it wasn't, my assertion was entirely based on WHAT to proofread, not whether to proofread period. The post I initially quoted talked about proof-reading in general, my post was a subtle topic switch to what to proofread for as a townie.

Where have you discussed what should and should not be proofread? Where is any of this that you are talking about?

A game of Epic Mafia I was in, a guy getting lynched claimed Bomb in a setup with no Bomb, just a Bulletproof.

I'm sure I have more if I could find them..

It seems that you presumed I was talking about whether one should proofread when the entire time I was talking about what one should proofread for.


Therefore we were arguing two entire different questions.

AdumbroDeus wrote:Recklessness in this sense is by it's nature a townie attribute because a viable path to victory is ignoring surviva and just being concerned with catching scum, so if you ignore the implications of what you're saying, you're probably town. Scum can't afford to do this cause their wincon is survival.

You seem to think for some reason that being careful is not only unnecessary or unhelpful to town, but that it requires a significant redirection of attention.

My take on Adumbro's comment is that town doesn't review their posts to see if they can be taken as a scumtell, which is typically how the mafia will be reviewing their posts.

I mostly review my town posts to see if I'm getting my point across and making sense. When I'm scum, I'll try to also see whether something I said can be interpreted as scummy.

That's a valid point. The other problem I see with a mass nameclaim is the fact we'll basically have to force a townie or two to fake claim. I can already think of at least one role where this would almost be a necessity. Not only that, a mass nameclaim alone COULD end up being a mass role claim as well, since with a few characters their role would become obvious.


i dont watch BSG so idk if this will be a problem for me or not.

no nameclaim please :/

This is probably the most ridiculous scumslip I've ever seen.

From the Large Normal archive: Mafia 61

To set things up, I was mafia with ac1983fan as one of my partners. Here is what happened:

ac1983fan was at 3 votes with 9 to lynch, theopor_cod was also at 3 votes.

Skruffs wrote:I wish someone would add something like "Oh yeah I investigated this person and they are scum"...
we could alwyas lynch theo...


Mastermind of Sin wrote:Oh yeah, I investigated ac1983fan and they are scum...>_> <3 Skruffs?


This obvjoke got someone else to vote ac1983fan, putting him at 4 votes. This person had pegged the two of us as possible scum together, and my joke claim made him think I was town, and he scratched whatever tell he had picked up off of his list of reliable tells. I found that pretty amusing...and then:

ac1983fan wrote:
Mastermind of Sin wrote:Oh yeah, I investigated ac1983fan and they are scum...>_> <3 Skruffs?

bah, congradulations.


ac1983fan proceeded to get 5 more votes and be lynched for giving up after an obvjoke claim.

Hilariously enough, this gave me a lot of town cred and I was able to survive down to 4 players, where I was lynched because of process of elimination since all the remaining players had better power role claims than mine. I had claimed FBI Agent and then managed to get the SK lynched without having a "result" on him yet, which had been awesome. Unfortunately, the game had 13 power roles out of 21 players, so even though I had an impeccable nightkill record, I couldn't get them all.

This game I had a bunch of awful scumpartners, but ac1983fan was definitely the worst.

^ Wow, he gave up.... Lol.

I got called for a scumslip once in X-Files Mafia, where I was scum, because I claimed "vanilla townie" instead of "vanilla town," when there had been BOTH vanilla townie and vanilla town flips in the game and the mod obviously used them interchangeably. I salvaged it by making a completely ridiculous claim that I can't believe I got away with and ended up winning as a perfect scum victory. Post-game, the mod admitted being baffled that they cared about "townie" vs "town" when he obviously didn't.

But it was hard to defend against. It wasn't as if I could say, "But so and so flipped townie!"

There's a pretty funny series of scumslips by kcdaspot that I want to dig up.

People keep saying I slip but
really
I would have said the exact same thing as town! :?
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.
