Comedy.
Because he's a bully, and I should've shot him last game
On a serious note, I don't think I can "counterplay" FL regardless of what he does, so at the end of the day I can only hope and pray he's town.
It's like he's on the complete opposite end of the spectrum as a lurker is- a lurking playstyle has little counterplay because.... there are no posts to... do anything with. Whereas whatever FL says is going to be a gambit/reaction test/experiment/whathaveyou and this is valid for both scum!FL and town!FL.
If I were to be extremely analytical/anti-FL agenda driven, I could make the argument that he hasn't produced any substance this entire game, with the exception of 'unpopular opinion baezu town".
Everything else has been 'oh hi guys', 'hi slaxx', 'hey last game was fun', and 'cologne'
Obviously the guy is going to pick up steam sooner or later but yeah.
I need more from cyb, umlaut, flavor, alchemist.
Ive decided that while I dont "like" hitalt, they are putting forth content and can thus be sorted, in time.
Baez, you have to stop clamming up. Its a bad look.
I liked slaxx's entrance. I liked rce's earlier posts. I liked what I did get from cyb, and I do kind of townlean on alchem, though that may be premature.
-Prolly a timezone/schedule issue as I couldn't interact one-on-one with people like usual.
-I'm kind of like that in most games?
appeal to self-meta
-I also have difficulties approaching this game as I've said before: what to do with people who ping me or who make points with which I disagree?
-If I'm honest/mean/critical, I could probably take the 2~3 lowest posting players and say that about them as well (like I did about FL).
-ouch

This actually would have been pretty +town for FL like 4 months ago. The only reason I wouldn't townbin him for it now is the open admittance to altering his game since continuing his meta would have probably opened him to be lynchable/mislynchable day 1.
I'm currently leaning fusco town. But it's tentative since I switch between scum/town every other string of posts. Think the multiball comment would be a town comment anywhere but normal queue.

You can disagree. thats life in a social game.
I like to make a mental note of it, and then look to see if that player consistently makes those kind of points. A lack of consistency in their posts and thinking usually means they are hiding something or scum.
As far as 'pinging' players. I mean, it depends. Are they 'maybe scum would do this' or 'this seems really odd and out of character'? The former is normal paranoia in a game where you have to scrutinize people. Some will do things that are odd. The later needs to be asked about, or you need to find other ways to ascertain what they mean.
Who pings you? You wont get answers if you dont ask. Or maybe you want somebody else to ask for you? Thats a possible strategy, but not a good way to be townread or play day1.
All I'm saying is that I saw Siv making a point, I disagreed with it quite harshly in #220, and then no more Siv.
Can't help feeling slightly like "straw that broke camel's back"
Also something something, no speculating about replacement reasons?

You didn't read it as tactical? That...surprises me actually.
You did? Right before he replaced out he made a significant post answering my questions so I didn’t grt the sense they were avoiding pressure.
I did, pressure from FL, yourself, Vorkuta disagreeing on his points, I was posturing to pressure him further. It would be disingenuous for me to wave it off as nothing.
*crickets chirping*
Yep looks I'm just active at different times
Nice. Just checking.
@Fuo - I’m known as an extremely strong scum player who hasn’t lost a game in a year and a half, so if you think this is master level scum play going down, be my guest.
