Ok. Time for business turkey.

Angles and Fireball had a fairly one way death spiral. Angles spent most of the time saying that Fireball was wrong, but never calling them scum. It is then revealed that Angles believes Fireball to be a lyncher. After revealing this fact, Angles then votes Fireball. It is later asserted from Angles that they think the lyncher is most likely town because it wouldn't make sense for the lyncher to be mafia if they could just nightkill the person. Why would someone vote someone they strongly believe to be town based upon role information? Either they do not think that, or they are lying about the wincon. I can see in the heat of the moment Angles voting Fireball. I could very easily see that. But to vote them after speculating about Fireball being the lyncher and more than likely discussing among themselves that the lyncher is town? That is scummy to me.

When people are angry, logic like that tends to fly out the window. It seems like a reasonable enough progression to me.

No, lurking just means I'll have to wait until I read you. If they keep up lurking, I'll interpret it as a possible scum delaying tactic.

I also find it hard to imagine two town having directly opposing wincons.

Why not @Elements?

The mod did say not many of us will win which implies mutually exclusive win conditions amongst us.

It feels like a bad game to have more than just town/mafia be mutually exclusive wins. Like to have Town A need player C alive and Town B need player C dead seems really mean.

Point A is a fairly precise observation. There was the possibility that Numbers and Cyrus could be scum together given Numbers' sudden defense of Cyrus, which is why I asked questions to see if there was anything beyond that. I feel the connection to be quite less present than I first thought. I would like to say that Numbers feel much more townie with how they handled the subsequent conversation with me, although that might be a simple reaction to the points I raised earlier. Probably a slot I'd call Null here.

I am very much aware of point B. If I need to precise our discussion from earlier about it, this posting style is not a style that is designed to obscure my posting style, or my identity. Rather, it is a posting style forcing me to speak in such a way as to promote discussion and foster it, and make my thoughts quite known. Consider it a thought experiment of forcing myself to use a certain paradigm of posting, in which I am forced to convey my thoughts in a certain way, at the loss of authenticity. It may not make much sense to you, and may appear quite scummy, but I hold a lot of importance to this for personal reasons.

I get the postint style thing, but it has the side effect of making your posts feel fake and insincere and it's hard for me to get past that

Okay. What gave you this impression rather than the impression of a townie that sees a potential connection between two players given the odd defense of one of them on the other?

Would it be safe to assume that you think I could be setting up town!numbers' mislynch, or do you believe that there is a world where I am doing this, and that cyrus is town, and numbers is scum?

It would cause conflict within town and give scum a big advantage massively tipping the game in their favour unless they also had directly conflicting wincons too which seems even more unlikely
