This was a really enjoyable player list. I'd sign up for another game with you for sure!

That's flattering, but in my case, at least, unearned. I'm better at scum than I used to be, but I'm never going to be great at it. Watching players like Prism in the Iceland game leaves me in awe.

The one game I played with scum-Prism they were only able to make two posts (hidden alt game), so I feel like I missed out on a terrifying by highly edifying experience.

I would love to one day bring a whole scum team to limlo, but I'm just not that strategic.

The game would have ended with a town win if Dunn had been elimmed and was mafia. Town only needed to elim one mafia to win.

I really do think "AtE" gets misused a LOT in mafia games. emotional displays aren't always (or even usually) appeals to emotion. and neither emotional displays nor appeals to emotion are limited to scum play. not even close.

I don't think there's a settled-upon mafia term for emotional input in games. I sometimes call at least some aspects of the emotional side of mafia the "social game", and I think Pooky is one of the strongest social game players on site, as any alignment. Which gets to my point that emotional play isn't limited to one alignment.

"emotional manipulation" is a more encompassing term than appeal to emotion is. Manipulation is in the eye of the beholder. your mileage my vary, caveat emptor, etc.

pedit, same Mara!
