If you just keep mislynching your fellow townies, you will lose the game. To win, you have to find scum. You can't just lynch anyone other than yourself. You have to lynch the right people. So, with that in mind, why are you more focused on not doing a specific scumtell rather than questioning srceenplay on whether emotional play is scummy in the first place? Why didn't you think he could be scum fabricating it as a reason to suspect you?
Because I did research and that was the general consensus. Appealing to emotion = bad
Yeah, I see StealthyNoodle linked you to the wiki page in 238. The posts that we are discussing happened before this. Your story is not adding up.
I didn't know what ate stood for, but i knew that using emotions was not a good way to play the game, if that's what you're trying to say

If you knew that using emotions was not a good way to play the game, why would do it?
(Also, nancy I saw your post. I'm commenting as I catch up so it might be a couple of hours before I finish).

....
I looked it up after I was told by srceenplay??
I just didn't know what aTe stood for ...
Okay. I see you were warned by the mod to not discuss ongoing games. That makes a lot more sense now. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me anything about your alignment. Looks like I hit a dead end here.

Glad we cleared that up
Nancy, thoughts on the interaction?
I think that survivalism isn't scum-indicative per se regardless of the player's experience and I think that AtE comes from Town just as much as from scum and it's how and why the AtE happens that should be looked at because Town AtE and scum AtE are pretty different. I am admittedly terrible at distinguishing between the two when it's directed at me, though. I also think that WM's stances are bad but they feel pretty natural in a way that I don't think this kind of newbie would have an easy time reproducing and I don't think they necessarily come from scum. My thoughts on WM slot overall are derp-clear.
ISO stands for isolation, a slot's posts in isolation from the rest of the game.
pedit wait you posted a readslist Src?
hi meet my mafiascum gravestone, the flowers were probably left by camn or schadd or Prism, blow them kisses for me would you?

@nancy, it's possible you are right. It's not a read I'm very confident in. I'm currently on page 14 reading through CogMachine's push on srceenplay and it's actually something I agree with. Srceenplay's vote on Pine in 282 was bad. Then the bandwagon hop onto you in 339 when he was pressured was pretty bad too. I initially townread his 77 and 147 because his trying to get whymafia to vote Loopdan as bait seems genuine. But then he votes WhyMafia in 166 seemingly because WhyMafia hopped on the Loopdan bandwagon which doesn't sit right with me because he himself is bandwagoning a lot.
That's fine. You can use activity to be suspicious of someone but don't use it as the reason.
Just want to make sure that's understood.
In my first newbie game we ran up someone for lurking and skating by. They were at L-1 for over a day. Never came a defended themselves. We all saw them online multiple times. Finally we said f it. Lynched them. The doctor. Didn't really do anything wrong except didn't post when we wanted them to.
With this in mind, it makes zero sense for him to vote Pine because it's easier to lynch Pine while Pine was lurking.
@WM I could, but I'd rather keep it private. I don't like people knowing how to get a townread from me. I'll talk about it at a later point.
@Void When I re-ISO'd Src last night after voting him I read that sequence as Src side-eyeing WM's interaction with Loopdan and trying to draw him onto Loopdan as a result. Feels like Town behavior. (That sequence is why I'm townreading the slot.) I agree that the Pine vote was really bad but I also wonder whether scum!Src actually plays like this. I feel like there's actually a level of invisible thought going on behind a lot of what he's doing that I don't think comes from scum.
