Your first point about (T-Bone) putting his expectations onto people of what is good/bad mafia play and reading them based on it is interesting. I also think this is the most productive choice of words you've used so far. Why you are so..afraid? of playing at this stature all the time confuses me. I know this is a klick post (without getting into meta) but these fashioned arguments you bring is why I like playing with you. You're offering me something that I didn't think about and it helps me. I haven't dug your slot (perhaps prematurely) because your reads are obstructive to how I feel like you really wanna talk. Am I wrong on this? And if that is the case, then like I said your rambling would hold merit. I have been getting the impression from your hydra that you are omitting the selectivity of your words and trying to fit them without context. This post you drafted is the only one I've seen so far with said context.In post 2653, Dingle Dangle Scarecrow wrote:So the root thing that irks me about your posts and general stance in this game is the hard and fast rules you set yourself and expect everyone else to follow when it comes to proper play and solving. You'll say things that are essentially 'this person is scum because this post is bad' that feel like takes that have very little to do with how likely someone is to be scum, and have a lot more to do with how you personally *want* town and scum to play. And that's really frustrating to me. I'm not here to have a series of logical arguments about a bunch of things that ultimately feel irrelevant to someone's alignment, I'm here to find and take out scum. The ballroom dance of hashing it out in a detailed argument often just favours the players who are best at playing that specific way, regardless of their alignment/accuracy/anything that actually benefits town. And so the way you just casually state what town should be doing and say that someone is scum because they aren't doing things that you think are beneficial just looks clearly innacurate as a way of solving to me.In post 2603, T-Bone wrote:Be specific.In post 2594, Dingle Dangle Scarecrow wrote:You keep making a number of posts that I'd consider bad posts, but I think it's town indicative for youIn post 2555, T-Bone wrote:Plus again you're not even speaking to the reality of the game. I am the only one scumreading you. Who are all these people scumreading you that you need to shut up?
Frustratingly it seems everyone else thinks that when you are scummy it's a town tell for you so good job I guess? Sorry, I believe everyone plays to the best of their ability and can't town read bad posts just because "that's the way they post". You're certainly smart enough to play into other players' perception of how you play, yeah?
You're probably town though, and I think that largely because of the way you are making yourself the center of attention narratively in the thread. You're doing more than you'd need to be doing right now for scum utility I think. You're also doing a bunch of things that don't intuitively make you look good to the thread at large, which I don't think you bother doing if you're scum here.
I'm not super interested in going into even more specifics than this because it doesn't feel like a productive use of my time. If you wanted like a selection of your own quotes from me or something then sorry, but I feel like this is as close as I can get to an accurate response to this.
I can talk in that type of way you deem 'irrelevant' because I had a lot more to say about it. I agreed with some and I disagreed with others. Personally, that very contrast is what brings me back to these type of games, but I suppose you are right that may not be relevant to someone's alignment. Anyone can type something that provokes thought, it's not like scum can't do it. It's more about really meaning it.
