I liked how instead of just answering the free question she turned it back around on rooster boi too.
Agree.

How does the answer to "Why White Flag?" give any useful information? The reasons would have been established prior, and there's no picking games after role assignments anyway.

That's why I asked gobble why he asked it. I'm skeptical but I'll be polite and wait for him to give his explanation.

Well it speaks to the type of person you are generally which is what I want to explore. It is helpful for me to know what type of people I am dealing with since I haven’t played with many of you.

Do you think it is a bad idea to try and introduce discussion into the game?

I chose mountanious because as scum i think it makes the game much more luck based than the invidiual or team skill and when its town since i consistently roll VT every game i feel left out when there are power roles scrounging about, and also feels dirt cheap when i win due to a cop clear or a n1 doc save, etc.

I would sort of expect this kind of comment to be accompanied by a vote, is there a reason it's not?
I'm not in that direction either.

I thought he was focusing on some stuff that doesnt matter, but some posts are hitting near the right notes too. Also one of my teammates thinks he's just town!

I feel like you want some grand explanation when in reality it’s not that grand at all. Do you think there is scum motivation for asking that question?

I’m trying not to explode the game because I already have a lot of posts and a sizable portion of the game still hasn’t even checked in

Hectic hallucinating here. Hi, hello, howdy homies. Hopkirk’s habitually handled hard hostility. Hijacking his hill here, hopefully his hospitality hinders horrifying hamster hostage hazing. Here’s heartfelt hopes he half hammers hazardous hillbillies. Hectic’s heckling Hop’s heartbreaking headache.
Hoping he haggles handguns here… hedonistic hillbillies he’ll hit. Hitherto
heavenly Hopkirk himself!

Why was this something you felt the need to wait to reveal?

I don’t think your question is necessarily scum motivated but RQS can be an easy thing for scum to hide behind in order to look like they’re doing something. “Discussion” or any type is not always a net positive and your question to Auro feels a little leading? Do you see why people might be so suspicious of what could be viewed as an empty question?

Also Dongempire, is your vote serious?

understands how team mafia works
In post 6, Cephrir wrote:VOTE: Espeonage

I take Umbreonage with you being alive in this game.
Woah, let's take a step back and use words we all understand here. Had to google what you meant by 'take' there. I thing it really takes away from the game when we resort to obscure phrasing like that.

Didn't want a closed. Hectic wanted the doctor open which I was fine with. I like mountainous.

That's not my baggage; the last time I even specifically recall being the target of an investigative role was in 2009. I can dig up proof that I have a problem trying to hang PRs if that's of interest.
This is relevant?

Formatting mixed up a bit before so here we go.

I agree. Wasn't a fan of the overly casual tone Dann had in his first few posts.

Not a fan of this. The first part feels like the 'make up a technically flawless answer that perfectly explains why I asked a question when I absolutely wasn't thinking about that logic when I asked it' that I used to catch myself doing as scum a while back. It feels semi-over engineered/too prepared for someone asking.

Second point is oddly hostile. Not really a question since it's rhetorical and nobody is ever really going to say 'yes I wanted to stop us introducing discussion into the game.'

Woah, ease up on the reins there buddy. I don't like this. Why are you chasing Dann up on this so fast? He was clearly going to address this, or if he didn't then it'd be much more useful to ask 'hey Dann why didn't you follow up on this'. What do you get from asking him before he's posted again, because it looks like posturing from you - asking townish questions - to me at the moment.

I do find it interesting that Cephrir seems to imply he has some sort of meta feel for me when we have played together at the same time in 0 completed games as far as I can remember
