Now that is an embarassing slip. Don't mind the puppy.

Why is
Post 247 a bad post? The only people bringing it up have been MoS (for reasons he cannot keep up once questioned about it) and Hascow (who hasn't explained it yet). And yes, there are reasons for choosing someone you think is a bad lynch, namely that you're putting a vig choice in their hands. I've explained this, Regfan has explained this, this isn't rocket surgery.
The game isn't hard to follow, nor am I findinding it hard to keep up, I have plenty of time; I'm mostly being lazy. I'm not a spectacular scumhunter and I work better with townreads than with scumreads, especially in the early game. There are 28 slots here and I'm not going to pay the same attention to everyone today, so yes, Regfan's posts are actually a good way to keep up with the game. I was being partially facetious when I commented on that, as I tend to read his posts
while
referencing back to the actual events. But no, I haven't read some of the walls. I didn't do so in the D1 of Weather Mafia II either, if you want a frame of reference.
As for defending townreads, Regfan has already touched on this. Yes, I defend townreads. A lot. Won't bother linking--basically, check any and all of my games. As I've said, I'm a better townhunter than scumhunter, so watching how people interact with my townreads and how they make points against them is a good way for me to get later reads.
As for stupid = scum, I fall in that trap all too often and tend to tunnel on stupid. The fact that I was aware BB was doing it doesn't mean I'm not capable of doing the same error--I'm pretty self-aware, but I tend to tunnel people for matters of Justice. Which is a bad thing, I know, and I'm working on it--thus my indecision with MoS. "The fact somebody's actions seem to make little sense shouldn't automatically lead you to assume they are scum." You're absolutely right with this, motivations > behavior, and I tend to get caught-up in that "aha, what you did makes no sense" thing without much on the why. Basically, see every town game in which I've tunneled someone. >.> I managed to work myself out of a wrong town tunnel in Catch-22 Mafia with someone else's help, and here I'm trying to reason out MoS. No, I haven't put much time into
that
yet. You have no idea how much electronic hell I've been in for the last 24h when trying to work 4 years' worth of updates on an old Windows laptop.
I know people will gloss over the RP. I'm aware of that, so I'm trying not to leave anything that is game-relevant in there, because I know people skip it and I'm okay with that. But I'm having a bit of fun, and my RP is hardly extensive or my words hard to understand if you have knowledge of the source material. (No one has complained about
that
yet.) I haven't used a flavor alt before, and while I've touched at RP before in games and I'm a tabletop RPer outside games, there has never been a sort of
consistency
with a single character in a mafia game. This is mostly due to the fact that I like Dorne, I lke the Sand Snakes, this playerlist is mostly decent so I like the game so far, and I've been waiting for this game since I've joined, as AFFC Mafia was just slightly before my time and far too long by the time I considered replacing in.
Also, this post shows something else about me--I'm extensively self-aware and I know a good chunk of my meta as both town and scum. (Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, etc., etc.) I also know I'm terrible at changing it anyway, so my scumgame kind of outright sucks. Good thing I'm never scum anyway~
