In post 149, Val89 wrote:I'm not sure what to tell you. I realise that you've all obviously have some history together, on other sites if not this one, and clearly some slots are banking their game on that in a big way. I wasn't expecting it to actually work though.

Just look at the reaction these two slots have had to me asking a clarifying question that clearly had no shade implied. How is this NOT scummy as hell?

Nether do we still have an answer to the question I asked, despite asking twice now. I think that's pretty telling.

Apparently Koba was trying to tell us something about their self-meta. It's something that I don't understand, but I don't think my lack of understanding as to what it was trying to express makes any difference to the fact the reaction was extremely scummy.

If the 'self-meta' declaration had been something simple I could understand, like "I always townread my partners", I wouldn't have needed to clarify the slot saying so was talking about their scumgame, but if I did, because I suppose it's possible they were talking about Mason partners, and that slot suddenly started screaming 'how DARE you shade me and try to paint me in a bad light, MANIPULATION!", I would be still be saying that's an over the top defensive reaction.

If Koba is going to continue to dodge the question, perhaps someone else can explain to me in a general sense how it would be possible to force situations in which it is unreasonable to point the FoS at someone?

Given the lengths that Koba is going to to not only dodge the question, but paint me as scum for merely asking, it would not suprise me if it turns out there was something alignment indicative in it after all.
well the "that's manipulative" og post from koba was a bit over the top, but i still stand by what i say when you were misrepresenting both mine and their statements and making posts that jsut came off in a bad way

I guess I will have to reread this part of conversation later on and hope to get a better view on things. Until then I won't change my vote on any of those participants. I am curious on Val's reaction on the E-2 though.

I guess you mean the first part (right?). So the first real skirmish of this game is between you and koba on one side and val on the other.

I doubt that scum (or S for short) would team up and go on a town (or T for short) player so early. It is possible that val and either you or koba are scum, or one or none of you three is scum.

But because of the mathematical probabilities it is likely that one of you is scum. From my point of view (POV) 1/4 of you is scum (2 out of 8). So if three out of those eight are in a small fight, it has probability of one of them being scum that is not neglectable.

The setup is "two out of nine" are scum. From my POV it is two out of eight as I know I am town (if you believe me or not is a whole different thing). The same is true for any other townie (except for the setup with masons, where the ratio is 2 of 7).

Why do you come to this conclusion? It is not that I contradict your read (especially concerning one person :mrgreen: ), but I like to know your way of thought.
