Maybe he asked me to do this for a reason. In a way I think I can use this to my advantage into convincing you that I'm town, because in the QT I've posted my internal thinking processes that didn't really have a place here in their entirety, but show my genuine struggle.
You could of course think I'm trolling the already dead StrangerCoug, but that's basically the same as saying you think I'm an asshole.
There's a total of 27 posts in my QT right now, post 18 is the first one after StrangerCoug's flip.
18: telling SC I'll continue posting as he asked, that I feel stupid after his lynch, that I still think Wisdom is scum. I say that if Wisdom turns out not be scum, I'll sheep my way through the rest of the game. I was obviously quite convinced Wisdom was scum at the time.
19: some self-pity tantrum about me having joined this kind of game too early in my mafiascum-processs, where I'm feel like I'm being manipulated left an right and how I'm unable to get any clear reads, as opposed to other players who seemingly have less problems with it (I guess I was referring to Majiffy specifcally at the time, but no names were added). I say I'm basing my reads on how people read me and itneract with me, and decide this will be the best way to go. Hence my scumread on Wisdom. Then I proceed to say I'll probably sheep my strognest townread, being pirate_mollie at that time.
20: Statement about me thinking Wisdom, Angry Pidgeon, Amrun and Elyse are my scumreads.
21: An apparent "aha-erlebnis" must have occurred in the topic,b ecause here I say that Wisdom is town after all.
22: Here I change my mind again on Wisdom, questioning my own arguments for thinking he's town (don't remember what these arguments were, should compare the times), and complaining about the fact I can't produce any strong argument. I start a thinking trajectory based on a fear that it's the lurkers who are scum (notably Safety Dance and Nobody Special) and call them pre-emptively lame for trying to win the game in this way in case they are. Some more self-pity about having to have been the one to be mislynched considering my poor town-play, and some criticism on townplay in general because of nitpicking and an atmosphere in the topic that doesn't seem to hint at an eventual town-win.
23: Excitement over thinking I found Amrun's scumslip, and calling Wisdom probably scum in the process, though I'm not as convinced about him. Contrasting with 22, here I have a strong sense of self-belief in having caught Amrun, and imagine myself getting credit for lynching scum in the future, making up for my poor performance earlier.
24: My self-belief has faded, and I am beginning to think Amrun could be town after all. I say that if she isn't scum, I won't know how to move forward in this game anymore. I express fear of being lynched over an Amrun townflip. I state Wisdom as my townread, and express frustration that this is the only information I got after 80 pages.
25: Scumread on Majiffy, but reluctance to call him out because I think it will just end up in me being lynched because I'd be challenging a close to universal townread. Saying Majiffy-enomis in a team is certainly possible.
26: I see Majiffy - qwints - Angry Pidgeon in a team here.
27: I confirm what I said in 26, three days later.
There you have it.
