PagebottomIt'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!-

Well your reasoning kinda depends on both of those being true. If it's common knowledge that Andante is susceptible to pocketing, then people would expect to be called out for it by others (even if not by Andante herself).It's always the same.

Because if I said anything you did was scum leaning, that could draw attention onto you, and I'd never have mentioned it otherwise; whereas if I said anything you did was town leaning, everyone would ignore it, because of course they would.In post 309, Datisi wrote:really? i'd expect you to call it +scum for asking you about your read of me when i know you can't read me for shit. why +town?It's always the same.

It means there's nobody low enough in my readlist to be comfortable saying I want to end the day and kill them. (And I don't think "pressure voting" produces positive results most of the time.)In post 535, VP Baltar wrote:You not voting at all would imply you don't feel a thing if you're following that process through.
It's easier? Surely it's less strain on my fingers to type out a vote than it is to type all this. (And I don't know if you're directly claiming I deliberately tank my towngame to help my scumgame, but I definitely don't; I play to win each game.)I think you choose not to vote D1 because it is easier and I'm sure it helps obfuscate when you roll scum.

From an ISO skim, her arguments look like they're probably in good faith to me.

Why is her reading ability correlated with her alignment? Or you think scum-Andante is like "I'm going to completely make shit up about Baltar, nobody will notice and I'll get to slightly better support a push that nobody will care about anyway!"In post 547, VP Baltar wrote:@ss - this is very clearly not anywhere close to what I was saying, and I don't think if you're town you misread that badly. I think andante was skimming what I was saying to look for a point of defense, which is a fundamental misreading of the game.
She also claimed I asking her to case hutmeil when I asked a fairly straightforward question of if she had played with him before. Again, this is a case of bad faith arguing a defense that wasn't at all what was being said in the thread.
Those are just two off the top of my head.
To me, bad faith implies that it wasn't just a mistake; in my experience Andante doesn't always read carefully and jumps to conclusionsa lotso these kinds of mistakes are entirely to be expected.It's always the same.

If you want something to look at, I would like a second opinion on the interaction starting here. Basically, Ari complains that I'm hard to read, and then I make several attempts to start a dialogue with her by interjecting in her conversation with Datisi (390 and 402), and she completely ignores me. It gave me the impression that she was just grandstanding and didn't really care about reading me.In post 605, Vulture wrote:Sorry. I have no energy for playing games lately and it’s kind of left me here like well I joined so I have to play but I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about this.

Well, okay, let's talk about 394 then. I feel like I have a decent sense, as scum, of what things I shouldn't do because they'll attract primarily negative attention. And that sense is absent as town-- it almost never enters the equation. Probably because I have some amount of faith in the scumhunting skill of the people I'm playing with, that I assume that if I keep saying genuine things as town people will more often than not eventually read me town for it.In post 638, Aristeia wrote:because I'm literally asking you what you want to talk about?
I can only speak for myself, but I would imagine that at least some other people are like this? It's hard to imagine not having that sense as scum, I guess I can imagine also having it as town but I'm sure many people don't.
So I think that it's a reasonable defense, or at least, the claim deserves to be looked at specifically rather than just dismissed in the abstract.It's always the same.

Not really interested in wagoning fire. I don't have much of a read on either of the other two, I don't think I've ever read PP confidently on D1.In post 1334, Datisi wrote:s_s, do you have any thoughts(tm) on hutmel, fire, and penguin?It's always the same.

Sorry for being a lurksack
I'm not opposed to either of these wagons but I don't feel a particular draw to either one. I guess I should just VOTE: hutmeil to tie it up.It's always the same.

In that situation I wouldn't have to vote at all. I know because I've been in it quite a bit. I can just continue to stall and someone else will eventually hammer.In post 1428, Aristeia wrote:this is funny because in the world where hut/peng are t/t and SS is scum then SS is trying to vote early so he doesn't get stuck hammering a townie when inevitably everyone votes and he's still there twiddling his thumbs on a fence because scum SS is deathly allergic of hammering townies.It's always the same.

This is, admittedly, a more recent mindset than I was thinking. But your argument is just terrible-- staying off the main wagons is never going to make me look bad unless one flips scum. Hell, I could probably vote a vanity as scum and be fine.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.

And like, insomuch as that discomfort thing is at all accurate (it is accurate, but not related to my motivation), it would point toward me being town, because I'd be a lot less comfortable if I actually don't know the answer and my team is counting on me to make the best choice, then if I did know and had to pick the best tactical decision.It's always the same.

Now that Invictus is over I can respond to this. I guess it's a much newer mindset than I thought, but I emphasized competing wagons quite a bit on D1 there. The worst D1 is when there's a single uncontested wagon on a low-activity player and it flips town.In post 1432, Datisi wrote:i do not remember a single time when you praised vca or did it?It's always the same.
