I favor faking guilties but not how Artemiana executed it and held it for so long.

It's amazing how you can be wrong about so many different things simultaneously.

the best part about it is if you're town you're basically locked to get to the end game so I look forward to you being the deciding factor in whether I win or lose in 5 or so game days.

I'm getting toxic. :/

I'll be stepping away from this thread for real for 24 hours. No reading, no posting. Good luck y'all.

The article is pretty bad, by the way. If the climate of the game is such that you won't get steamrolled for admitting a gambit (and given how frequent gambits are nowadays, that's most of the time), then you can gain a lot without losing much.

This fake guilty thing left me a bit lost so i will take a step back and reorganize my thoughts

1) i agree with bingle that LLD is super town post-flip

2) the STD kill probably comes from town? If scum have access to just 1 factional kill it must be toog

3) following up from point 2, it could point to NDMath scum rather than flea or sigmund.

4) maybe guillotina is also scum given that he has only pushed town and defended scum so far, i.e. seems to be a scummy position to take around flipped scum + he has been pushing me since forever + his logic is very very questionable

5) set aside nka and vca, i still dislike the ongoing defense of titus from chara and morph
before
artemiana admitted it was a fake guilty. This is regardless of titus alignment.

6) shea seems to be genuinely disappointed, although i am a bit concerned about his vote patterns. Is he known to be a passionate scum player? If that's the case, he could be scum here, otherwise he's a strong townread. Wouldn't vote there today anyways.

7) SS is very likely town based on what i know of him

This is pretty much where i am at with my current reasoning, everyone else is just a gutping or faded memory.

What's scummy for wanting to yeet in my scum reads? I'm happy we flipped anya and I wished I got credit for it but no biggie, there is more scum to hunt.

I have been pushing you since forever? I actually forgot about you, do you still feel pressure from me from Day 1? Do you you feel that just my sole presence is a threat?

her claim literally changed from "targeted myself" to "targeted NM" partway through and i didn't like her justification for it at all. that and i never bought that one of anya's duplicates could be used for a cop check.
and i was right, so.

morph seems to know Arte better and so recognized the whole gambit thing.

As much as i <3 you, i find your reasons to defend titus a bit weak. I think this would be how scum!you would act when given the opportunity to shade a cop without taking too much of a hit if you had to backpedal off your stance.

Risking :lolguiltyhammers: and stifling natural discussion in this case being the much, but yes, that article was written for a different time.

The problem with saying fake guilty gambits are okay is that you get a lot of really shitty gambits that do pretty much exactly this. Introduce a bunch of WIFOM to the thread, confuse a bunch of issues, piss off a bunch of players, and don't actually help with reads progressions all that much.

I mean, sure it was a shitty gambit. But that doesn't mean that all gambits are necessarily shitty. The main reason it was shitty was because of how sloppy she was with the mechanics, which distracted from the actual guilty claim.

i hard disagree that a claim that changed midway through in a pretty important way isn't a significant reason to doubt it. i'm not in the habit of blindly believing claims that don't make sense to me.

this is particularly frustrating because you seem to be suspecting me for being (correctly) dubious about a dubious cop guilty against a player i townread. finding my Titus defense unconvincing or too strong for the reasoning i've given is one thing but Arte's claim absolutely deserved the suspicion i gave it.

i don't know if you've played a lot of games where people just lie for a reaction, Fark, but the fact that this whole fake guilty thing is even a debate should tell you that i've dealt with this crap enough.
