i mean by this logic you're saying isis and i are mafia together and just were the first two votes on two wagons we pushed? is that something you think mafia frequently do? i don't think being the first two posters makes much a difference, especially since both of you then declined to actually participate in the game for some time.

If i was the scum here I would have recruited ydrasse and pushed a taylor elim I think

no I didn't say you and isis were mafia together. I found it very scummy she would follow you 2 condemnations in a row.

i guess this was lost in animal communication. because it sure felt like that is what you were pushing.

ok and what in my play-history would suggest I am good as a scum-partner ? I'm usually outspoken, brash and draw tons of attention - in a post restricted game such as this one I would think the ideal partner would be someone who is more of a silent hide in the shadows type player.

no my point was it was very scummy for her to sheep you twice in both condemnations. You want options and choices at the exec phase and if you trust the wrong person you can easily not have any good options.

for me what would suggest you're a good choice for me would be the drawing of attention, but i'm not sure i could evaluate why other players would make that decision. i disagree with the last sentence entirely but it feels particularly not useful to discuss.

eh. i really dislike this kind of thing because i've seen a lot of players as mafia use it to manipulate. it's null at best i think.

especially since it is something that can easily be checked instead of voiced.

imo in a post restricted game you don't want somebody who has low self control and just spam posts a lot. Which I kind of did.

I was really excited to be a tiger and there were a large number of really cute tiger gifs and apparently thats scummy

it really depends on the player and I dont think plusJOYed is manipulating unless you can show me a completed game where he plays in a more competent fashion.

it's scummy that you didn't try to communicate with other players beyond 'cute tiger gif' and then cared about the votes and what would happen if we didn't reach consensus. like that's pretty straightforward to me.

because if you want to wifom the town you just pick who you are unlikely to pick

if you want to play with someone specifically as your partner you just pick that person.

I don't see it likely that you go to the trouble of random.orging the partner because you have some preference for what you want this game to be like and it's somewhat special and unique to be able to pick your partner.

I don't like wifom and don't like losing because I wifom'ed wrong. I would rather lose for other reasons.
I randomize wifom choices in card games all the time because I would rather remove the possibility the other person has gotten into my head, rather than try to get into their head.
Lately this has involved wiggling the mouse very fast between the two options when I play this card and clicking randomly

Spoiler:

I don't know for 100% sure if I would do randomization if I drew scum, since I didn't draw scum, but I have done so in similar cases and that's my best guess

and then after the first condemnation the first thing i tried to do was ask your opinion on direction to go in, because you had already been condemned, so it's super useful information. and you didn't respond despite multiple attempts and just continued 'cute gif' 'random clicks' until we voted for plusjoyed, and then you cared about the game again.

ok can you explain why that is? What was there to communicate about that I didn't do?

who to vote for? for instance. if you care about the lack of consensus votes helping to develop a consensus seems the correct course of action. do you not think anyone was trying to communicate about the game?

because I didn't know what to do. People literally just threw me in a cage and said hey this guy is probly scum, you really think first thing on my mind after that happens is "well time to get the town to listen to me now"?

like if you're town you'd help develop a consensus. i think mafia would be far more likely to say, hey look we need to do this. instead of doing it.

i was listening to you. in fact i asked you, twice, which direction you thought we should go in.
