It's a YOU read. I'm sorry if that feels shitty but I drew green and I'm kind of obligated to drink em if I got em
i mean it sucks that i'm not allowed to entertain myself according to you, yes

i don't think i would make any risky posts as scum early in this game knowing that you are playing, and i am not so dense as to think that post wouldn't draw attention to me

Sure but only because it turns out she wasn't seeing what I saw, whoops

The content of your post reads EXACTLY in theme with a specific part of Control, but its a part that wouldn't be very likely to come up in a green role PM. If you hadn't fluffposted without thinking through the consequences of your actions you might have been fine, but instead you fluffposted in a way that gave the game away, precisely because you didn't know what you were talking about. Sorry bud

what is the harm in elaborating on that further?

i was thinking of doing this gimmick before receiving my role PM based on my vague impression of what the game is about (i have watched someone play it for exactly 5 minutes), if that helps

If you are town you know what you will need to do to evade this bad outcome then.

I leave it to you to prove it.

I would argue your ability to do it and your success rate goes up if you are green over red but

If you wanna bus for cred I will give you cred too. Lol

I mean you were the only one to catch me in several different games where you were left alive because of your lack of ability to convince people and then killed as the final vote.

I believe in your ability to catch. Not your ability to push. Both are normally required hence the failure rate.

But now you have my angy firebird self at your heels and possibly willing to push something of yours to test your alignment.

So you only need to solve, not push this time.

So do the work. If you are town, i trust myself to see it. If you arent, I trust myself to kill you.

Can you explain how this is scum indicative for Cephrir? I'm not familiar with his meta.
In post 71, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:For actively seeking fun. It reads to me like you drew scum, hated it, and are now looking for ways to make your own fun.
This seems really reachy. A lot of people mess around during the beginning of a game. How is this scum-indicative for Cephrir specifically and not for anyone else?
