Real talk, I have been listening to my toddler’s music class music and Lupe Fiasco, exclusively. One of the other. Baby likes Lupe too!

To be honest, if there is something invalid in the game, or rather, in the
forum
, it is your reasoning process.

I didn't understand what a hypothetical scenario has to do with it.

To answer your question, even with the free shade...

You said you would guide your partner(s) to distance themselves from you so when you get lynched, they both would be able to fight for a healthy endgame. That would be the case in any mafia game, but in this particular game, where it depends which mafia you're lynching, the game would be over if you're the white flag mafia, so your behavior could be different from a normal scenario.

So for a player who tends to over analyze the game setups as town, not only your hypothetical is not relevant for this game, but it seems weird that you didn't think about that.

I believe that I would not need to mention the white flag factor, considering that it is explicit that this decision making would not work with it. Even in the white flag scenario, the sides would only reverse, without any conflict. I don't see the parallel you tried to build with my ability to infer from setup information. If we consider the archetype of the micro in which I played, there were much more specific and difficult to assimilate particularities than here, which are only 3 general conditions. In that situation, yes, it was justified to go deeper into the mechanics, mainly to clear up possible doubts (as I pointed out at a certain moment). But here, no, it is only about the association between three members.

I am also not in my best state of mind to perform in the same way, as you probably noticed.

Pink Ball · Post Post #896 (ISO) » Sat Feb 15, 2020 6:25 pm

Whatever clidd, I told you to ignore me if you were town, engage with the rest of the playerlist, not me. I'll sort you better looking at you as a spectator rather than a protagonist.

p-edit: hope everything's alright! If this is not contributing to how you feel, don't hesitate on taking a quick break. You can always go V/LA if you need some time.

@Cat

Are you saying I'm under pressure? Because I don't really think I was at the time, nor am I now. Only you and TSH have suggested I'm scum and neither of you have really made good points, imo.

Hectic · Post Post #898 (ISO) » Sat Feb 15, 2020 6:43 pm

Clidd, I want you to know that you have a secret admirer. I won't specify whether you've played with her but she's starting a fanclub about you. I'm not even kidding in the slightest.

I ended with Clidd as weak town because, although I agree with PB that the opener was kinda scummy, and the lack of scumhunting, he's still shown flashes of effort that *seem* townie. For instance, I ended up agreeing with the towncasing he gave of both PB/RB and I think if he were scum, he could've taken a much different route to handle that situation.
I see

Also I read the Micro game you mentioned earlier. I think you were relatively inactive in that town game, but when you did show up in the thread, you felt more fast and loose than you do here.

I would characterize your scumgame as flying effectively under the radar, and while being under the radar and being inactive often happen together, I’m not only scumreading you here for not posting.

I don't really think tonal reads work for me. I switch it up between games.

But that's fair. I'm gonna focus on getting actual scum for now rather than engage with mislead town.
