I try to do that. Honestly it's more of a lot of things just make sense to me, "I am town, therefore it makes sense to be townread" is one of the things that happens a lot to me which also tends to lead to a lot of OMGUS sometimes because I tend to believe there's scum hand in pushing me when I know im town, moreover when I literally hate to be scum and hence I have the opposite mindset "I am scum, therefore it makes sense to be scumread", which should mean im super easy to read, but in the past i was townread more then i was scum, and mislynched a lot when i was town, most because of the fact that as scum me having the knowledge of everyone's alignment made it super easy to just help town push town and buddy up to them to garner being townread in some way or form, the lack of knowledge of people's alignments change my play around to be more self centered than town centered, which for some reason causes people to think im just scum with self-awareness, and neither of these things i've been able to change through the course of time.In post 12944, Drixx wrote:You should work on that facet of play. You can figure out someone is town a lot by realizing their "story" in the game is natural and makes perfect sense and likewise find a lot of scum because things they were setting up have to be mangled and bent out of shape to fit the narrative they need to push for their "story" to make sense.
When i see people's play and try to read them, the first thing i think is "Does this make sense as scum to be doing?" or "Does this make sense as town to be doing?" as I generally read people individually rather than a string of events. And more often than not, I actually read the emotions or get "feelings" for their posting and garner reads from that, as an example, the moment Math became leader D4? I felt my heart sink, dunno if that was more of the fact that i wasnt as wanted as i thought, or that was just because it scared me coz i thought he was scum.
Speaking of scaring me, a lot of the time, the vocal players or supposed good scumhunters, scare me when im town. Because I feel like if they scumread me, it's all over and im gonna be mislynched sooner or later, which affects my play around them by a lot, me being passive D1 helped me vote Cerb without getting scared, because at that point i didnt care enough about the game.
But back on D5, I felt Math was scum, I literally went to look at the evidence muffin left that could indiciate Math scum, but i literally got frozen, people had trusted me enough for leader, and my question going through my head was "Am I really confident enough to push this?, What if im wrong? What if people just distrust me and mislynch me because of it?".I bloom in spring?
Please be nice to me.- Toranaga

everybody but you thinks it's scummy to have petrify and nobody but you thinks of it as simply a flipless vigIn post 12875, MathBlade wrote:
Lol no it isn’t. Petrify is was and always will be a flipless vig.In post 12866, Frozen Angel wrote:I only picked players to make sure something will happen. IDR what though. And I only chose players from a list that would make that happen
math picking petrify that night was so scummy
I commented on why in dead chat.
Just because it isn’t what you’re used to doesn’t make it scummy.
and a flipless vig is bad for town math lol
why do you have to even argue over this? if you were town doing that, it'd be equally scummy. since you were actually scum, there was a barrage of evidence against you. it happens, move on. nobody agrees with you so maybe consider the possibility that you're wrong.
also FA is goat. making her leader is a horrible mistake if you're scum.- Frozen Angel

Like context omg
No clearly means no in some cases. Like for example sexual content. If someone says no that is always no.
But like “no I don’t want a billion dollars and a Ferrari and all nice things”ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

Thank you for the wild setupIn post 12707, The Dream Weaver wrote:I would also like to thank FakeGod for reviewing my setup and being my backup mod. If it weren't for him, all of you would probably have been playing in a dumpster fire of a setup.
Honestly this game is sorta a replay of the scenario that went down in The Thing Mafia: numbers was in the position of Toogeloo/Goatmeal, the early bus that was meant to set the rest of the team up. Titus and Math were both kinda like Andrius, the scum who directed the town's efforts in ways that benefited scum. And Nancy/Creature took the role of MOI, the scum who was meant to go deep. Fortunately the scumteam here was less coordinated, plus they got their feet tied up in the mechanics much more than the scum of The Thing Mafia did.<Embrace The Void>

Well, unfortunately Mathblade did tell him exactly why I was townreading him because his reason and my reasons were the same(or rather, the reasoning he used to support his fake conclusion was the same as my real reasoning), so my read % on scum!Drixx may have just went down.GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

Sorry if you felt I was one of the ones saying that.In post 12891, Frozen Angel wrote:Yeah, I don't appreciate being called a puppet leader repeatedly if it wasn't obvious.
I thought the stacking powers was a mistake, but I also said it was a valid option at the time, it's a hindsight mistake, not one you could or should have foreseen.
You weren't made leader because you were bad, in fact I'd say the fact that you're a good scumhunter with a good rep made you one of the viable options. Not like scum can really suggest me for leader with a straight face
I was only critical of not wanting to countenance that scum were pretty ok with you being leader. When we saw petrification we should have put it together, but we needed to be ok with the idea that scum were ok with you being leader for some reason.
I also think in hindsight powering up the strongest players was a mistake, it allowed scum to believably kill off their threats both mechanically and read-wise, and gave us zero info on those kills. But that wasn't your idea much as just the accepted wisdom.Copyright © MafiaScum. All rights reserved.
