Humor me. What type of approach would you have as scum this game? If it depends on who your partners are, a few examples would also be nice.

I will look at these later.In post 1514, Churros wrote:Blake, I could settle on Fuzzy for today but what if I tell you I'm getting a deja-vu on your strong TR in Taly? Not budging?
Look at associatives between Fuzzy x Taly that I talked about. Not even a finger of self-doubt?
I replace as different identities based on what I believe the game would react the most favorably to, or which presentation I believe I am the most likely to make headway with.In post 1528, popsofctown wrote:@Blake, why did you replace in as Blake instead of Ankamius (or Alyssa the Lamb)? Are you even going to allow that question, I don't know.
It's a not-insubstantial question because she intentionally plays the account differently.
I'm kind of increasingly annoyed by the alting stuff. Getting confused Paragon's alt is a very notmafia reason to get scumread. I'm pretty sure it was largely a vehicle for confbias from 1 person who's getting replaced now. But like it's annoying. And part of me feels like concealing Paragon's main is like playing against wincon and I don't like it. I have never been in the position of being the only one who can identify an alt, I am really bad at it, there are certain reasons this time is different. I like the idea of metaless mafia and stuff and wish mafia had the playerbase of digital poker or something so pure anon mafia was real but the halfsies stuff stresses me out. This is maybe a weird time to bring up the rant cause Blake has been a different alt and deliberately altered play is fine and not the same thing, but it's that, the slot was originally Y'shtola and I feel duped because she did an effective job convincing me she wasn't an Ank and feeling duped is normally supposed to have a 1:1 correspondence with identifying a scum but that isn't necessarily the case which is ugh.
Y'shtola Rhul is a heavily role played account that was designed to be my account for attempting to play a support role for the town while not taking the lead on the game myself as I tend to do on my other accounts. Blake is the account with the biggest contrast because people were not listening to what I was saying beyond the roleplay, so I judged that the bluntness from Blake would be the most likely to be listened to with this disadvantage rather than Alyssa the Lamb's sarcastic demeanor, Branson's cold hard logic, or Alacrity's overly sweet demeanor.
I make this judgment regardless of alignment every time a new alt of mine is revealed, and this specific decision would be the same regardless of my alignment in this game.
The first quote was a rewording of the original point, which I had responded to popsofctown with for attempting to metaread me. She only found things that indicated that Y'shtola Rhul was playing, so I said the equivalent to "of course you will only find me playing, because that's all you looked for." It's self-evident because it had even been stated in this game already that my only completed game on that account was as a role that functioned similarly to the mafia, which I was removed from early on in the game.In post 1568, Aloratom wrote:In post 1318, Yshtola Rhul wrote:Signs that Y'shtola Rhul are playing are what you find when looking for signs that Y'shtola Rhul are playing.In post 1240, Aloratom wrote:Can you explain what you mean here?In post 1010, Yshtola Rhul wrote:When you look to identify play by Y'shtola Rhul, you can expect to find play by Y'shtola Rhul.
It is self-evident, for the two are one and the same.In post 1320, Yshtola Rhul wrote:Listen well, for my words provide the wisdom you seek. You need only read beyond what is present to your eyes.

Those who have much to lose from their peers view those peers in a different light than those who would act for a higher purpose. Awareness grows, as one misstep may make the difference between an encapsulating crescendo and the illusion of falling off a tightrope overwhelming you.
Warriors of Light need only save themselves by telling the truth and trusting those who listen will recognize it as such. For stories that cannot be disproven, this will never result in damnation, only salvation or an extension of the trial of the heart. Sin Eaters must consider that by their own mouth, their damnation may be assured. This pressure creates a difference in posture, their words less reflective of their heart, their stances based on survival rather than truth.
For this case, which prevails? The thoughts ring true relative to their past testimony, their stances the same, their uncertainty reflective of their absence. Why then, say you, would a Sin Eater return for such a small token of their continued thoughts continuing when such thoughts brought them ire before? It is preposterous, for a Sin Eater must convince the town with honeyed words and conceived pretense to cover their darkened thoughts. Such is not the case, for none as such is present.Those posts don't answer my questions. She's been speaking in vagueries for the most part since we started and not playing the game near as I can tell.In post 1556, Taly wrote:What's the scumread on here and we're >3 days to deadline so you should do something here...
The second quote is me telling you to read the post again and read what I'm saying beyond the roleplay. I have said quite a lot in this game, it just takes an extra step to find the meanings.
I've had reads, which I had made clear at several points throughout my ISO. I've had content, but it took me beating people over the head with it for people to realize it.
Taly made a pretty accurate analysis of what I've been saying throughout the game. That post is a good starting point.
Hate to break it to you.
I really want people to tell me why they still want
