The problem is, you've used this excuse the whole fucking game.In post 11512, Reasonably Rational wrote:It turns out our concerns were just paranoia, but they were absolutely justified.
"Our concerns turned out to be nothing, but trust us they were justified."
Literally every time you've been proven wrong, you've clung to that defense.
And after a certain number of times, all I can really say is bullshit. The player who has most shown inconsistencies this game right now is
you
. You're not acting like the Reasonably Rational as town that I know VERY well by this point. There's holes in your logic which for such a thorough, detailed player should simply not exist.I know you have a hydra PT. And I know you have HUNDREDS of messages over some messaging program in which you bounce things off back and forth. You are the poster child for a meticulous, thorough hydra.
And yet you are missing simple details that nobody should be missing, YET ALONE, you of ALL people.
Your stance on third parties has been inconsistent the whole game, too. Especially on a meta level, because I know at least one head has a benevolent view of third parties, and the other head I believe holds that third parties should be EXPLOITED for as long as humanly possible--a view calling for the vig of farside was in flagrant violation of, among other such times.
Your game is DEFINED by rationality. By being reasonable. By logic. By facts.
NOT by paranoia.
Your game is not reliant on "what if".
Your game is reliant on certainties.
And you threw away a CERTAIN VICTORY.
On a "what if".
Hiding behind paranoia.
Reasonably Rational is NEVER paranoid as town. EVER. When RR has reason to doubt something, then they will doubt it...and reconsider it. Reevaluate it. Put pages upon pages of thought and discussion in their private chat into figuring that thing out. And then they will come to a new conclusion, one which is what they have determined to be the most likely case. You keep each other in check. When one head gets paranoid, especially thanks to emotions, the other reels them in and keeps them sane.
Yet here, you have displayed a focus on eliminating everything EXCEPT scum. Your plans have thrown out logic. They have been full of holes. They have left gaps where scum would be able to slide in. All because of a focus on possibilities, rather than probabilities. And while, sure. It is true. RR likes to create a gamestate where there are as few variables as possible. It's true RR likes to eliminate as many scenarios as possible. It's true you do those things alignment regardless.
The simple fact is your actions in this game have CREATED extra variables. They have CREATED scenarios. They have done the OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING. What do you have to say for that?
"Scum mastermind"? Nobody left except you who'd play like that.
"Town was being moronic"? That doesn't explain how scum have been countering literally every move you put forward with an appropriate response which hurt the town.
The simple fact is, you are playing to an agenda which has done NOTHING but further the scum wincon.
And I refuse to believe this is the Reasonably Rational I know as town.
Yeah I've done this already.What I need for you to do now, Mastin, is put on your mod hat. Look at the game. Look at what we know, the flips we've seen. Take in the totality of the game state, and the course of action parts of the setup and the flavor of the game essentially GUARANTEED town would take. Do that, and answer the question: Why would we EXPECT Farside to be a threat?
Farside is a threat because SHE COULD NOT BE KILLED BY SCUM.
With one scum alive.
Do the fucking math.
She was also confirmed as town.
Confirmed. town. which. scum. couldn't. kill.
And nigh-impossible to mislynch especially with her abilities. (Not to mention town support.)
And you have the
audacity
to ask how she'd be a threat?It literally writes itself!
Counter-question: why DIDN'T you recognize she was a threat to the scum?
Why didn't you recognize her value, her asset, to the town?
Why didn't you continue to exploit her when regardless of whether she was third party or town she still had value to add to the town?
The simple fact is: scum needed farside gone.
And the player who advocated farside be removed--in MORE ways than one--was you. Trying to get her to get the third party wincon. (Which, by the way, is an inconsistency with "trying to prevent a third party win that endgames town", because GIVING HER THAT WIN risked DOING EXACTLY THAT.) Trying to get Fuzzy shooting her.
There are literally hundreds of reasons why you are scum here.
It's not even funny. Just frustrating that people aren't already lynching you and that I'm going to have to fight tooth and nail to push through something which shouldn't need explanation.
Anyone who knows how you play knows that your actions are coming from scum.
And the amount of effort I have to show that to those who don't is ridiculous.
So my GOD
Magna, grapes
, please just trust me here and help me. I'm right. RR is caught by their own style. By their own tendencies. By their own habits. Look at what Reasonably Rational has pushed. Pushed now. Pushed in the past. Pushed the whole fucking game. It's consistently served a scum agenda since day one. There's been some facade of a town game, a mimicry of it, a cheap imitation of it, yet no gamesolving. No attempt to lock the game down. Nothing to flush the scum out. Just lynching one town after another and trying to remove more through cheap tricks which leave as few as possible confirmed.It's not Almost50. It's not Fuzzy. It's just...Reasonably Rational.
