Yeah sorry that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. This game has too many reactive players and not enough proactive ones, methinks.

Osuka feels... pretty different from how I remember his towngame being. But that was a
long
time ago.

I asked because my thought was, if osuka admitted that he wasn't really getting much from the game, that'd be pretty towny. Instead he comes back with which is like really one-dimensional? And does not reflect my previous experience with him (in that game he made a serious and correct vote on me on literal page 1).

All of this is probably +scum but like... four-year-old meta is not exactly the most reliable source in the universe.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

Because scum have a claim given to them for free, they don't need to get one ready.

And I don't feel like that post would be worded the way it was if Dwlee had knowledge of the free fakeclaim. Dwlee, please correct me if I'm wrong.

UNVOTE: innocentvillager

I'll check some stuff when I have time to. Tbh I believe the claim and I don't think the risk of it being fake is big enough to warrant testing it day one.

eh i can see the argument, not sure i'd put that in townslip level i suppose

for iv ig it kinda feels like he didn't have the claim ready but as town he ought to know his own role pm and as scum he ought to know he has a free claim
so like the fact that he had to sort of scramble a bit is weird
but i guess slightly more scum indicative because i think it's harder for town to forget their own role pm than scum to forgot what the free claim is

if that all makes sense

There was no scramble, IV flat-out said he wasn't going to claim.

If it's weird from both angles, then why is it more likely from scum? My first thought at a delayed doctor claim like this is to assume it was town that didn't want to claim rather than from scum.

I don't really think the claim itself matters beyond that, just that it happened.

Delaying just makes it harder for him to be able to weasel out, since if he waits too long then it wouldn't save him anyways.

He could just be making up his mind about whether to claim VT or Doc.

Or he could be waiting for feedback from his partner.

Either way I think the delay looks scummilicious

If anything, the part that I don't like is going back on his initial decision not to claim.

just none of your posts feel townie, and all of your thoughts feel all disjointed and disconnected and it doesn't feel like you're approaching this game from a town / solve-y mindset

Even that isn't a really good representation though because I'm looking for what the dynamic between us is normally like when we're both town. But we have an awful tendency to roll scum against (and occasionally with) each other

I seem to recall you not ever reaching out to me this much as scum. But maybe I'm just misremembering it.

Regardless I think your interactions with me have felt pretty genuine. But the point I'm kinda trying to make is that for all the games we've played together I'm not sure how useful our experience will be since in both cases it's colored by seeing the other person as scum a lot.

I think that this game is disjointed and disconnected and not conducive to solving, so I feel like it's only natural that my attempts to do so would come out as fragmented and incomplete.

i'm not even sure i'm using meta here, i think just sort of objectively you're not playing this in such a townie way :/

although i guess it is somewhat meta, cuz i do also think that town-you would be trying to get into this more

I feel like given the number of games we've played together it would be impossible for you not to use meta.

Have you played with disengaged-town me lately? I think this is about as much effort as I'm capable of... like, sure I could be rereading shit but I don't feel that that would really help.
