Alright. So if Norway IS Town, where do you look next?In post 374, GuiltyLion wrote:you know what I'm going to just wreck this one post in particular and then let you know that I could do this with literally every post of yours if I wanted and I am not doing so only out of interest of keeping the game readable for others and because I'm a generous manIn post 347, NorwegianboyEE wrote:GL's first post actually pinged me hard, but i held back on commenting it until i'd seen what he would be up to. Since i've clearly seen his bad intentions by now there's no point concealing it.
Making a "RVS" vote like that on a random familiar slot and then leaving without doing any solving is an archtypical scum entrance i've seen a couple times by this point. Especially on my home forum. I can't explain it well. But if GL flips scum i'm going to celebrate my ability to see right through shit like that.
Let's start with the "RVS" vote point. I was thefirst to thread. I normally vote somebody who has posted and pinged me in whatever way when I get to a game late, but here, I had absolutely zero information and decided to vote randomly, I picked somebody I knew and felt comfortable jamming with if we're both town and said hi.
You're suggesting this is somehow scummy enough to catch me off of literally my first post because I then "left" the thread. Did it ever occur to you that... I have things I do outside of this site? Last night I watched Just Mercy (important/great movie btw, highly recommend it to you all) with my girlfriend and then ate an edible and got really stoned and thus in no condition to play any more mafia. Since this game ~literally~ just started, and I was also in a recently completed Blitz game that did demand effort/attention, I figured I could come back and tryhard later when I needed to, like, you know... today. the very next day in real life.
Finally, if you weretrulyconfident that you caught me, you wouldn't feel compelled to hedge like you did in the last sentence. "IF GL flips scum, I'm gonna celebrate" like ok bud, you know I'm not flipping scum. If you were town and thought you caught scum and were proud of it, you'd be bragging already and asking others to join you, not awkwardly trying to pretend like you're already proud yet still introducing uncertain tone into it and suddenly switching to future-thinking ("I'm going to celebrate" vs being in the process of actively celebrating).

Here's the last Mini I played as town where,
oh wait a minute, I hadn't even thought to check this myself,
I was
a) town and
b) first to thread and
c) I voted Auro (somebody I know fairly well, we've even recently hydraed together), and
d) said hi!

No, I would like you to drop the snark and actually engage with me and answer this question, meaningfully:

I'd really like more takes on GL atm.
I can't really tell much of a diff between Town and Scum meta here on a cursory glance.
The one piece I am holding on to at this point is how GL handles pressure as Scum/Town, but can't be sure on this yet. It looks like GL provides pretty solid reasoning as Scum and it looks like he played with some semi competent people in his Scum game so don't really get how he's saying "ez game" but whatever.
GL, would you say you have a better Town or Scum game?I was anything worse than you! Anything worse than you was I!

I'm not really vibing your case on Norway. A lot of those things you're pushing as scum indicative often come from town too.- Cat Scratch Fever

Define "better"? Or rather, talk about why you are better as Town than Scum.In post 384, GuiltyLion wrote:

I think my strengths as scum are tonally sounding town and avoiding the obvious 'gotcha's of getting baited into bad pushes or betraying that I'm informed in how I interact/comment with players.
Where I'm weak is sustaining presence/effort - as town I jump in on a bunch of stuff and take the lead and tend to be a pretty prominent figure in the game, and this is just really hard for me to do as scum because I spend so much energy on making sure the individual posts themselves don't sound scummy. So if I feel vaguely kinda town, but I'm surviving well into the game, haven't pushed a lot of lynches/cases, and am in the bottom 1/2 or 1/3 of postcount, I'm probably scum. When I'm town my post rate is consistently 2-3x more.
I'm aware this is something I'm gonna have to try to fix in my scum meta, but the fact of the matter is that I'm just way, way, way more engaged in the game as town, on a soul level, and talented players can usually pick up on that."I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever.

I had similar reactions to the hedging languageIn post 302, GuiltyLion wrote:
First two lines feel like scum tryna just like... comment on the game, and then I don't like the way he hedges throughout - "inclined to believe" feels like awkward scum-writing-about-their-fake-thoughts rather than just actually having them.In post 64, NorwegianboyEE wrote:
Man i’m loving the vibes i’m getting from this game already.In post 61, osuka wrote:i'm starting to have serious doubts that you're mason
This should be entertaining.
As for Truth’s claim i don’t usually see scum planning to make a miller mason claim within very short time of game start, so unless this is some next level WIFOM play by scum i’m inclined to believe the slot for now. Even if i think some of their posts have been a bit awkward.
"I implore you to abandon this push"? Norway I don't remember you ever speaking so awkwardly formally like this in our games together?In post 78, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Quick, if you are town i implore you to abandon this push. It’s quite a reach to assume someone is scum for claiming miller mason, and then suggesting they will only tell the truth when they’ve already stated their name has no bearing on behaviour.
Shade but no vote or further pressure. It's not clear to me what Norway's read on Quick really is - he constantly talks to him as if he townreads him but then what's the point of a post like this?In post 79, NorwegianboyEE wrote:
Having a dialogue with your scumread is natural and has many benefits to town. Don’t like how you’re trying to portray it negatively here.In post 73, LicketyQuickety wrote:Oh, you are trying to dialog with a SR. That's interesting. "shoot first ask questions later"?

Currently I'm struggling with the dynamic between him and popopopopo
Like... Should I consider it suspicious that they just entered into a vote-slave pact on the spot without questioning each other for it or is this some typical NAI shenanigans? I'm entirely puzzled by it and also puzzled by the lack of commentary on it. In light of the stuff that pinged you about Norwegian, what do you think?- NorwegianboyEE

Semi-coherent narcissism?In post 303, Glitch wrote:Need more info to figure out this whole LQ vs osuka shitshow
I want to know more about LQ and his playstyle and see what's going on. LQ never answered my question at the beginning:
My vote stays on you for now cause this whole thing confuses me and you're not looking squeaky cleanIn post 70, Glitch wrote:Lick, what would your strategy be as scum? Fly under the radar? Big and bold to seem fearless of dying? Something else?
Which is an enormous improvement from 2 years ago which I would describe as fully incoherent narcissism. I've never seen scum!quick nor pro-town!quick ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
His logic and premises always appear rock solid to him and he takes his views to be fact, and then builds his idea of everyone else based on his views and premises. This usually leads to a few different scenarios, like A: Quick super scum tunnels on someone because their scum reads and posts, while consistent in their open read evolutions and perspective, doesn't make sense in Quick's mind so they absolutely must be scum, B: Quick misreads several posts and builds an elaborate "logical" conclusion on completely inaccurate premises and it takes 10 pages to talk him out of that, or C: Quick has a solid read on someone built on solid reasoning and premises but only explains like 15% of his theory so none of the rest of us get what he's saying.
I have yet to figure out how to tell if it's Scum!Quick but I'm pretty good at sorting the NAI Quicksotic components so that he's not lynched as low hanging fruit ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ- NorwegianboyEE

I agree with the first half of this postIn post 305, LicketyQuickety wrote:299
Most of this is just IIoA without really committing to anything. I didn't even see a vote in this post, which concerns me a lot actually.
P-edit: GL's tunnel on Norwegian seems ill founded. Norwegian seems Town from seeing them as Scum twice recently. This looks to be a pretty easy push on Norwegian, who IS actually questioning things and Scum hunting. Might not look like much, but it's way less of an agenda based play than I am used to seeing from Noway!Scum. It also gives GL the excuse to keep his vote where it is. - Nauci
