Sure, if you want to bitch out and let your replacement get lynched. If you're Town, then try your best and if you get lynched, oh well. Whether or not you replace for a crybaby reason shows what kind of man you are.
Also not liking your AtE.In the grand scheme of things, wins and losses are pointless. But I'm not the grand scheme, so die scum!

You're failing to realize that I'm taking BOTH sides into account here. I'm not believing blindly like you would like me to. I'm looking at this objectively - if you're town then there shouldn't be any problem for this. Again, it saves an investigation. If you're town, that is good, because it increases the percentages of a cop investigating scum. But if you're scum, that is good too. It lessens the percentage of a cop hitting scum, and manages to give you a free pass if he doesn't investigate you. I'm getting at THAT side of it, which you seem to be missing.Hoopla wrote:
No, it was cop preservation. The reason why I claimed is so a cop doesn't potentially waste an investigation on me, causing him to out himself. How on earth are you reading it as self-preservation?AGar wrote:So your motivation was self-preservation. Cool. That's not scummy at all.
The claim doesn't help us as town, other than avoiding a mislynch. But the upside is if you're scum, an investigation doesn't give us any footing. I'd say that's pretty significant if you're scum and managed to stay off the radar, and then an investigation pops up.
The timing was unprovoked, the context wasn't useful at all, and the motivation wasn't protown.
Some players support policy lynches of millers, and they always almost come under fire/draw excessive attention to themself because of their claim. They are also hot choices for vig kills. If this is self preservation, then I'm doing it wrong.
You make it seem as if the worse case scenario (by not claiming) is not a big deal at all. Outing a cop falsely for a mislynch is a disasterous situation for the town. Claiming miller is not explicitely pro-town, because it narrows the pool of power roles for scum to hit. But it is a far better situation than the worse case scenario in not claiming and being investigated. Both are negative results, but claiming is imo the lesser of two evils. Therefore it was the protown decision.

His posts look incredibly busy on the surface, but when I sat back and actually had a chance to read them, I found they had less content than an unhappy marraige (homograph metaphor...huh.)
Replacement? Your choice.
I was saying you look scummy, not that you're a waste of a player role. Generally, players that produce no content are scummy players, not people that we hate.
This is strong AtE and also suggesting the replacement seems like a scum cop-out. You realize that we lynched Quag and he didn't request a replacement because he "wasn't enjoying the game." So instead you go the alternate route. "I don't enjoy this. Can I have a replacement?" Smells like a bad ploy to me.

[/game]How many of you ACTUALLY think, "Hey, I'm going to appeal to everyone's emotions with my next post."? I doubt anyone actually does that whether they are scum or not. You all should stop following the wiki so much and play the game the way you want to play the game. Leave the poor guy alone, if you don't believe him then you can say that but don't accuse him of trying to appeal to peoples emotions[game]-

In a twisted way that I hope you understand, my point remains. You are saying what the intent of your vote is, and it is not lynching. Thus, the effect is generally lost.Hoopla wrote:

I'm serious about my cruelty vote. It isn't a joke or anything like that, if that's what y'all may have been thinking.
I'd also be comfortable with a Mindgamer, Flare, Hoopla, or possibly a Nacho lynch. I've seen no substantial reasons to lynch either angelmouse or hito.

Don't take it personal, Mindgamer. If you feel overburdened, then by all means replace out, but no one here is trying to attack you as a person. There's a definite line between thinking what you did is or isn't scummy and thinking you are making the game non-enjoyable, and so far as I can tell no one thinks you are making the game non-enjoyable.Mindgamer 374 wrote:Should I just ask for a replacement then?

Wow, I actually agree with Flare here. AtE is one of those things, like misrepresentation, that townies very often see in others and scum very rarely choose to do deliberately. +town points for you, sir.Flareonage [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2087405#2087405]378[/url] wrote:[/game]How many of you ACTUALLY think, "Hey, I'm going to appeal to everyone's emotions with my next post."?

That being said, Mindgamer is still not providing content and I'm still happy with my vote where it is.
Mindgamer is still my favorite lynch candidate. Angelmouse/angelmouse's replacement is gonna have a lot on their plate when they get back but I can't think of anything particularly scummy from that slot. RC is my strongest town read right now.Hoopla [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2088421#2088421]391[/url] wrote:I still disagree, but I like the way you've been arguing.
I have solid town reads on AGar, hitogoroshi and The Tracker. Who should we lynch, guys? Does it have to be Mindgamer? What are your thoughts on RedCoyote and angelmouse?
If I can't get you guys all on a mindgamer wagon, my other choices for lynch today would probably be cruelty (the fact my strongest town read is voting for him helps). I'm less certain about nacho-scum or flare-scum than I was before - I'd hop on their wagons with a deadline looming but I have no interest on pushing them. Hoopla is frustrating me to no end but I'm not comfortable translating that into a scumtell or a lynch at this point. If deadline hits us by surprise, the only people I'd rather no lynch than lynch are RC and AGar."Don’t buy a dozen eggs if you just want a hardboiled egg. Don’t buy a head of lettuce if you just want a salad. Don’t buy eggs and lettuce if you want egg salad because those are not the right ingredients." -Julius Bloop-

RedCoyote is a neutral read for me atm. In the event that it was deadline and we needed a hammer on him, I'd gladly provide it, but I won't be trying to start/push a wagon on him right now.Hoopla wrote:What are your thoughts on RedCoyote and angelmouse?
I'm withholding my read on AM until a replacement is found. I'd like to see whoever that replacement is give their thoughts on AM as well.
I'd support a Nacho wagon as well.Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!

Ok Red, let's take your vote seriously.
RC (my bolding) wrote:I seriously got the impression that cruelty voted Quagmire almost purely out of spite, especially after their little slapfest at the end of the day. He won't agree with that characterization of course, but the town can draw their own conclusions. cruelty played a big part in artifically extending that wagon.He either did so out of emotion and principle, being against Quagmire's D1 play, or he did so to because he did not want another wagon to garner any steam, as lynching townQuagmire or (supposedly) townTheTracker would've been good enough.
That's inconsistent. The first bolded part, you're sure I'm basing my vote on emotion, then you're suddenly ascribing devious logic to it, saying that I artificially extended the wagon out ofeitherspite or strategy.
That's not a case. That's a silly little justification for a vote with a backdoor you can quietly slip out if things don't work out.the nexus of the crisis-

I'd happily support a Mindgamer or cruelty lynch.
I would lynch Hoopla, AGar, Angelmouse, or Tracker at deadline without too much protesting."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

That's not inconsistent. I'm still saying that you voted Quagmire out of spite. If you are town, you did just that. You voted him emotionally with a personal vendetta against his playstyle. If you are mafia, like all mafia, you actually voted him because you knew he wasn't on your mafia team. You still voted him spitefully either way, but in the second instance the anger with Quagmire would've just been a ruse, an excuse.cruelty 394 wrote:That's inconsistent.

You really need to start explaining things. You've said earlier that Hoopla was a town read and The Tracker wasn't that scummy to you anymore. Why the complete 180?Nachomamma8 wrote:I'd happily support a Mindgamer or cruelty lynch.

Yesterday, I said that. Earlier today, I said that she had the highest chance of being the SK, if there is one. As an SK, claiming miller is a pretty good way to go, and lately the positions she's been taking (lurker votes, but not jumping on any wagons) have smelled strongly of self-preservation.AGar wrote: Hoopla was a town read.

Wouldn't wagoning someone else available, ie; Mindgamer, be a better way to do the self-preservation thing? Why are lurker votes suspicious?Nachomamma8 wrote:

I'm laughing at the SK thing though - why would you even attempt to use this as a genuine point? There was no NK. It would be such a bad play to go after a supposed SK out of paranoia, rather than trying to lynch mafia.
