Reading the thread after replacing in
Is it ethical to read a game after replacing into a slot? You can garner opinions from ignorance in a similar way to playing without reading your role pm, plus it's more fun to not bother efforting anyway.Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0
Conq: you, sir, are great at being town.
BATMAN: Only jugg was the only one we didn’t scum read at least not me
Quick: There is little to no chance this slot is Power-Wolfing.
SR: I want to give him a day
Life is simply unfair, don't you think?- Creature

No, reading the game gives you informed opinions.
Informed opinions means you are scum.
If you are town and scum you are playing against win condition.
If you are playing against win condition you are game throwing.
Game throwing is against the rules.
Game throwing is unethical.
Therefore you shouldn’t read the game because it’s agaisnt the rules and unethical.

I think its generally the pro-town thing to do. I can understandNOTwanting to read a long game though.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Only when you're replacing into a confirmed town slot and the game is already mechanically solved.

I once saved a slot I'd just replaced into, that was at L-1, via making notes in the thread "live" as I was catching up. Many players in the thread concluded that that would be impossible to realistically fake as scum. I haven't tried it as scum yet, so I don't know if that's a correct assessment or not, but it's definitely a strategy that wouldn't be usable if you'd read the thread in advance.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town- nancy

I think it's terrible play to not be fully informed of the happenings of the game and therefore anti-town and therefore shouldn't be done. I also think it is disrespectful to the mod (it is be for me as a mod, anyway) and the rest of the players.
I'm not saying you should have everything read as soon as you replace in, but you should start reading when you replace in, focus on catching up, more than anything, and at the least have the full intention of reading the game in its entirety upon accepting being a replacement.balance among all things- Espeonage

I rarely do this as town and almost always do it as scum. Had to wait for a game to be over because I did it as scum that game.In post 15, callforjudgement wrote:I once saved a slot I'd just replaced into, that was at L-1, via making notes in the thread "live" as I was catching up.

I pretty have to start doing it as town now or it becomes a scum tell for me.Don't @ me.- nancy
