I'm sorry this is bothering me so much this is so weird

This is a high volume game with a lot of people who are great at faking tone

but *even still* I would expect at least some caution, especially when there is a lot of in-fighting between the active players? Adding skitter specifically just seems like a detail added to make the statement appear more real

In post 1574, Nero Cain wrote:I mean, I think in general most players ARE going to town read more active players. Now obviously, not all scum are going to be lurksacks but I feel like in the games I've played recently there's always been less active scum.
Yes, I agree with this generally

but if your role PM is green you should have some natural paranoia and curiosity that you won't have with a red pm

also townies love to find deepwolves

I don't know it's very strange to me to enter a game and be like let's kill the lurkers when you are replacing into a slot that made 2 posts

I hope you're finding this game fun still.
Spoiler: not really game related
i feel psychoanalyzed and oof, this is a very specific callout and also an incredibly accurate one on more levels than just mafia, and in ways that i hadn't really realized, gonna go lie down and think about my life now

i am not finding this game fun as of pretty recently but hopefully it will pass

I feel like Dannflor might be in The Claire Zone where my read on him is predominantly determined by how he reads me

Do you think that post was all that serious? He just replaced in so he likely hasn't read that much and he's
specifically
town reading Skitter, despite not really being active. So it read kinda jokey to me?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Pretty sure I scum read frogster for something similar the first time I played with them. I'm so out of the loop right now, but frogster is an acquired taste that can result in strong negative reactions at first, imo.

I do not consider that level 0 and I think it's very charitable to read that as a joke

with the deadline being refrozen each time we need a replacement, this is going to be like a 200 page d1

I am unable to distinguish it tonally from the "xof and dann are scum" stuff it's sandwiched between which also seems serious

I've seen many players open with RQS or something similar and I think more than half the time they have been scum

it's not something I would base a confident read on alone but I've seen it happen enough times that my reaction is always negative
