Okay so, went climbing yesterday, I'm tired and sore, but Xof has major scum equity this game so I was taking an eye on her entrance and it's not impressive. It sounds like Xof, but almost like the viewpoint wasn't generated by her.

Kind of like the viewpoint was generated by committee with some help from an evil tree, actually.

Also it's super non-committal, which isn't EXACTLY outside town!Xof's range to open into this game, but it's certainly just on the edge of it, where as it lands SPECIFICALLY in the range for scum!Xof's game, abusing (as she should) her status as newly returning to mafia as a weapon to evade a lot of criticism.

The post is just not good. Tonally, it reeks of sidelining, and is phrased in a way that leaves just enough opportunity open to be corrected or deflected if needed.

Look at the following statements:

"I'm not saying she's scummy, just something about the tone is registering strangely to me."
"I don't think just Pine will use it that way, but everybody honestly could."
"I realize this really isn't all that much of real substance or anything, but this is what I'm thinking so far,"

there's more of this word optimization in there as well, but these are the clear examples where Xof espouses an opinion and then, to ensure that she isn't seen to be pushing an agenda too hard, she dilutes the opinion with a defensive statement of uncertainty.

Given Xof is mainly a survivor player, I can tell you with decent certainty that if a survivor player started talking like this, it's because they have an agenda and don't wanna be caught pushing it too hard. It's a
disarming
tactic, to get people to feel less concerned.

And I think it means she's pretty easily scum here. Pine has equity to pick her, plain and simple, because her renewal into Mafia makes her an unappetizing target to lynch early on and buys her time. Her post was not just weak, but weak with an agenda which makes me feel very nauseated towards it, and her tonality matches that of someone with something to hide.

My question is if people will have the guts to lynch her Day 1 or nah. Y'all gonna feel bad for her, or y'all wanna win this fucking game son?

Vote:Xof

PenguinPower has long been one of the most respected knights of the land. Belonging to the Secret Order of the Skittles, he is one of the Keepers of the Lists. His responsibilities lie mainly in educating young knights, guiding them so that one day they might go into glorious battle against the trees of Pine's kingdom. Alas, even though this arctic bird spends more time teaching than questing on his own, he is still a knight to be reckoned with, at home in the frigid waters that would scare off even Pine's dastardly schemes. Who else could be a more valuable ally in the fight against Evil?

I'mma say this shit now btw. In nice big bold ass letters.

THE PINE MECHANIC IS A TRAP. THE PINE MECHANIC IS A TRAP. PLAYING BALL WITH PINE, RESPONDING TO PINE, ASKING FOR FKN FRUIT BLINDLY IS A MOVE THAT LOWERS TOWN'S WIN PERCENTAGE IN A NON-MINUTE MANNER. NEXT PERSON WHO INTERACTS WITH PINE AND GIVES HIM AN INVASIVE PLATFORM, OR TAKES FRUIT BLINDLY WITHOUT SOME GENERAL OPINION IS EATING BULLETS AT NIGHT OR ROPE THE NEXT DAY I SWEAR IT.


Seriously, I'm not usually the player who advocates for "town consent on powers" and I still don't think we should be leashing how someone uses a power when we give it to them, but the mechanic we have in play will not help us if Pine can choose who he bargains with. He'll make choices that are consistently good for scum which is NEVER A GOOD THING FOR US. So, our best move is to only play ball with him when we control the outcome, and otherwise to treat him persona non grata. Excommunicado.

NO TALKIE.

Capiche?

I'mma go watch some football with my husband and I'll check in later through the day.

The above message is something I didn't think I would have to say given previous games but y'all don't seem to have any discipline.

So I'mma make you have discipline, savvy?

Seriously though, vote Xof.

I love when you quote a line I placed for emphasis and strong reminder more than to enlighten something people wouldn't know, as opposed to say commenting on the more lucid portions of the posting I've made.

Thoughts on Xof, please.

Also, given you're one of the culprits that post was intended to whip into shape, this is particularly funny~.

If we condemn town for asking for fruit, then scum can get the powers. I realize I'm going solo on this, but y'all are gonna have to policy lynch me to keep me from asking for fruit. Hate me, I don't care.

@Pine - what does the fruit do?

Well, other than LLD's recent post about whipping you into shape, I seem to be the one getting flak for it.

Did you ask for fruit to be memey, or because you actually think people should be asking?

Why would scum get the powers?

Also, it will be less of a policy lynch, more of a "You are acting against the interests of town and refusing to see sense which indicates that you are scum" lynch. Which is really just a regular lynch

We're talking about effectively leashing the mechanic so that Pine doesn't just get to give them out to whoever he likes

Meanwhile you seem to have indicated your preference is for chaos and to give Pine as many options as possible for who to give fruit to

lynching someone for not playing how you want them to play is a policy lynch.

if you think that person is playing as scum then its not, but I think when its pretty obvious its not an alignment indicative activity by the way people are approaching it, I think ur deluding yourself into thinking you are actually lynching someone for what is alignment indicative more than what you think SHOULD BE alignment indicative, which again goes back to it being a policy lynch.

There's no way to tell if it's true, but Pine did say if no one asks, he get's to choose who to give it to. I'm not willing to take that chance.

And As I get them, I'll be giving input on reads, and playing the game. So I'm not acting against the interests of town. FB already summarized why it would be a policy lynch. So I'm not gonna go on and on about this point.

There is no chance, there is just you blindly rushing ahead and asking for fruit when you don't. or shouldn't, even know what they do.

You are maximising risk, where doing so does not increase benefits
