Newbie 2083: Viae Romanae - End!

[fferyllt]

Vote Count 1-3

Early Mesopotamian roads in what is now Iraq connected the Sumerian cities of Sumer and Ur with with each other and their outlying agricultural settlements.

At roughly the same time that roads were being built by the Indus Valley civilization (~4000 BCE), Sumerians were building roads, too. And that brings up a question: Why did humans start building roads at about that time?

[ssbm_Kyouko]

i havent even read through the third and fourth pages carefully

[yeezys]

oh yeah um. i've played mafia before on other platforms and i usually don't put effort in when i'm town so just a heads-up, especially in the sites with more analytical people
mafia.gg is jsut painful tbh
i'm good at janitorial but this isn't janitorial

Kyoko, no worries. I won't take your pressure to seriously either. I actually got excited to get into a game and said hello before I had the chance to read through a couple past games to see how the days play out. I'm not used to RVS yet but think I have a loose grasp now.

As for your questions - I've played 3 forum games and a handful of in person games. Still learning and this is definitely a change of pace.

Vote: Yeezes

More active now! Let's hear more.

why me D:

[yeezys]

I'm not even going to really honor you with a reply here because wow this is manipulative (in the bad way) as hell. VOTE: val

see here newbies, this is what we call, bad faith! When a player intentionally frames someone as bad with no intentions to consider good intentions from that person.

I was asking a question. I thought I might be misunderstanding what you were saying, because if I assume you meant "forcing people into situations where its unreasonable to fos [you]" is how you play as town, that would appear to just be saying "I play as townie as possible, so people come off bad when they sus me", which isn't really saying anything at all is it?

I was hoping you might clarify. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion I was intentionally framing you as bad for attempting to clear up a misunderstanding I think I might be holding myself.

I am wondering now, however. Defensive, much??

tf is this
"are you talking about your scumgame, ehre"????? we are literally in the rvs stage why are you throwing around accusations when someone is just talking about their meta ???
sorry this is jsut. what ?????? what??????

Regardless i disgress - did that response change how you feel?

Following on from that, why is it so important to you how other slots feel about you this early?

In before I am accused of OMGUS, but I certainly wasn't expecting a reaction like that to an innoculous question. I think this is a good a place to start as any.

VOTE: DkKoba

WHAT IS THIS ?????
town wants to establish that they are town, to not get voted out. same goes for mafia.
talking about your meta and clearing things up??? THAT ISNT ALIGNMENT INDICATIVE.
ok unless i misread something, val is at a solid scumlean

[yeezys]

am i allowed to say that i think koba might be town

[yeezys]

kyouko not koba oops

[Val89]

tf is this
"are you talking about your scumgame, ehre"????? we are literally in the rvs stage why are you throwing around accusations when someone is just talking about their meta ???
sorry this is jsut. what ?????? what??????

Except I think it's pretty self-evident I wasn't throwing around any sort of accusation.

As I pointed out a single post ago, the statement doesn't make a lot of sense if DkKoba was talking about their town game, so I was seeking clarification as to if they were talking about their scum game, and if so, how exactly one goes about forcing people into situations where its unreasonable to FoS you. I wasn't (at that time) suggesting this was a DkKoba scumgame, but the reaction (from two slots now) seems so widely over the top I am wondering.

It is, in fact, so self-evident, that combined with the obvious hyperbole and gratuitous overuse of question marks, alongside the reminder that scum don't want to draw attention to themselves and thus THAT ISN'T ALIGNMENT INDICATIVE, I think it's quite possible that one or both of these slots are seeking some sort of "too scummy to be scum" townread.

No chance, not from me at least. Two decent scumleams, right there.

i'm just not going to respond to this

[yeezys]

i seriously cant tell if val is town or not i'm laughing a bit too haurd
like maybe its just me or is val just being opportunistic
like i'm sorry but koba's post was not even remotely scummy idk what you're on about

[yeezys]

also where is the hyperbole

[Val89]

Hmmm.

I'm just getting started and already that's two slot saying they won't even respond to me.

I know this is a newbie queue, but I think you owe us a little bit more respect then that, else Im not sure what else you expect us to do than infer you have something to hide here.

[DkKoba]

am i allowed to say that i think koba might be town

kyouko not koba oops

excuse me

which janitorial setup? I used to play a lot of Jan 3.0 on epicmafia

[DkKoba]

yeezys is my top townread atm

[Val89]

like i'm sorry but koba's post was not even remotely scummy idk what you're on about

I never suggested it was. I asked a question to clarify what Koba was trying to tell us.

The fact that you've jumped immediately into assuming I was scumreading Koba because the post contained the word scum clearly indicates you are hypersensitive to criticism towards that slot on page 4.

Is Koba your partner, or are you hoping to buddy up there and pick up that "too scummy to be scum" townread on the way?

[DkKoba]

val trying to deny the shade they threw at me and implication they had in their post is just like NAGL here

[yeezys]

Hmmm.

bruh

[DkKoba]

my exact reaction

[Val89]

yeezys is my top townread atm

See what I mean?

Koba knows full well we are going to say to ourselves "hang on, why the hell are they townreading that slot after that display?“.

They are hoping you think they can't be scum because a mafia player would never draw attention to themselves by doing something quite so rediculous.

I'm not fooled by it, and you shouldn't be either.
