I'm not sure if you've really grasped what I was saying
I'm thinking back to last game where they did this same thing and got mad when mechanics were being discussed because it would be bad for them, so they had to shut it down. This is in their scum playbook.
I expect them to be aware of what is going on with the mechanics and while they don't have to dig too deep at least focus on the task at hand
Which is: who goes to the dungeon (if anyone) and who preps the guillotine
But instead it feels like they're doing the same thing they did last game as scum, which is, instead of looking at the bigger picture, they're positioning around themself looking good
@dunn Yeah I get it but my first thought wrt that is that unwnd probably did that because he'd approach it similarly as town. Why are you assuming/saying the opposite

I worry that I'm focusing too hard on emotional appealing, but I'm not sure how to contest mechanical logic that keeps being put out. My reason to dislike it is true, but I don't know how to dismantle it.
Here is what I saw from them in the scum pt and why I'm not assuming town
If you think me wistfully describing my goals to be a screenwriter and encouraging Infinity's poetry is something that can be logically surmised in mafia you're wrong

Why is your idea of 'i scumread you' especially when it comes to me
Mean we have to commence battle? Even when I was scum in Fortress I was very agitated by this
Also stop faking scumreads on me if you don't want me to attack you back?
Otherwise deal with it because I'm moderately omgusy even if I try not to be and I end up being more sensitive when other people throw reads on me that I feel are for bad reasons

Just so you know, I don't really take scumreading you in Popcorn as the defining moment in how I approach your slot from here on. I think my educated guesses about you littered through out this thread are not absolute and I'm not sure if your offense is taken because you believe they are? Or that I'm trying to sink your slot.
II offered to meet halfway. If your idea of me wanting to look good is compliments and sharing a nice moment, that's not something in my playbook. Furthermore, I don't see where 'not following mechanics' is a reason that follows either, given that
1) There is stances of mine that relate to mechanics, briefly
2) Mechanics, and I've said this before, are the easiest fucking thing to fake and are only specific to alignment based on how they are used, not talked about
I wouldn't break my own predisposed rules here, and I especially wouldn't do it as town. I didn't like your approach initially because of 2). You have said at least to me that you are omgusy to people with bad reasoning. OK. I get that, but if I do know something of myself it's that scum have indignant behavior. Do you really think that my goal as scum is to approach you with a bad read again? I almost lost because I was forced to give a read, I would've definitely been fine just kissing your ass. The circumstances here are different and for my sake I want you to rethink the approach, because it will probably help future games as well. I meant what I said where 'I feel we suck at reading each other' and I don't know where it started.
