/thread
If you think the mentality has to do with role and not play then you're part of the problem.

I'm close-minded...
I lynch scum...
Theres a difference?

Okay
here is what happened in civ mafia.
We were organized D1.
But then ABR decided "Fuck you" and the town then proceeded to implode on itself.

Almost everyone tool is useful in some context.

Tone reading without meta is kinda garbo tbh.

Like the entire purpose of a tone read is you need meta to know what there tone is supposed to usually be like but most people just use it as a charisma read. Don't think it's fair to shit on tone reads because of that.
aka my friends make fun of me for being "toneread" :P

I find there's a lot of people willing to just write off the fact that they're mislynching people left right and center and who barely even try to learn from it or improve and that's how your ability stagnates.

Weird how RC, Elli and Smith the strong mafia players are the ones with the good mentalities on how to improve and the bad ones are saying otherwise

:thinking:
I'm a strong player
I don't think my mentality in this post is good :P

It is. There are people on this site that will analyse their posts in excruciating detail to see what words, sentence length, post length, spread of topic, and lines of questioning to see what they do naturally as either alignment. And then they will draft their posts multiple times until it perfectly represents their town meta specifically to fuck with meta tells.

I know this because I have seen it happen. Muffin comes to mind as someone that does this.

Meta is fucking useless and I retain the right to policy lynch people who try to use it as a basis for argument. Meta has some limited uses to back up an otherwise metaless argument, but outside of that, utterly useless.
lol then they're doing it wrong.

Disagree
I just see posts I feel like are scummy and/or have a scummy approach/push to a lot and they usually flip scum.

In post 131, Nero Cain wrote:ya'll were going to lynch town anyways. :/
Okay yeah, that Yuri wagon was a 10-11p all town wagon on town.
but what's better
being cohesive and lynching town?
Or everyone telling each other to go fuck themselves and lynching town?

If I HAD to take only those two options, I would take the first.

pedit: I mean
this is in that I believe this is a whole thread where that is the opinion and I felt like jabbing you in some way
but it isn't in that that's how I view ms atm :P

reminder.
Meta is not trash.
meta based communities make town win.

Towns lose here because we get a lot more newer users and replacements are a lot more common.
