It ticked me off before as well, I know it's scummy in general, but the tell doesn't work for F-16. All it tells me is that Dan is looking at the game in a way that I can understand and that's town.
I agree that what Dan posted looks to be coming from a town mindset. As far as piggybacking goes, I was referring to the way you were just following along with the suspicion without explicitly stating your thoughts, not whether you agreed with him or not.
In post 392, mykonian wrote:I think mafia is a social game. I don't think we are nice little logical machines who try to find scum and lynch them. Because that would imply we'd lynch everybody equally, depending on reads, which we clearly don't. We lynch some people more, some people less, and part of that has to do with social groups etc. Or in simple words, we are less likely to lynch someone we like, feel more paranoid about someone we know, but on the other hand we do keep back from outright lynching them (why else would paranoia be so powerful in those cases). You can agree with me or not in that case. Now, as far as I can see, plum used to fall squarely in the "liked" catagory. Nice person etc, posts well and thoughtful, is known to be a decent player. All in all, squarely falling in the catagory that I would expect to not be lynched a lot in a group of players that knew her.
Which is why the undercurrent that names plum is surprising to me. It's different than what I expected from this game and I'm trying to find out if the reasons is either that people simply don't know her, or because I'm wrong about my assumptions about her, or because scum is somehow mingling in that discussion and amplifying the noise it's making in this game.
Regardless, it says very little about plum's allignment. It might say something about the people talking about her.
I agree with you about the type of game Mafia is, which is why I'm drawn to it.
The bolded part makes sense.

Currently thinking of a way to adjust my posting habit.

Why does it feel like you're making the assumption that any aggressive interaction b/w two players is Town v. Scum?
I don't make that assumption. I judge players based on interactions.
I also don't remember what happened between you and Kagami.
In post 414, BROseidon wrote:Now why are you jumping into a line of questioning not addressed at you?
Because I want to.
No, I just think Pie is townier than you. It's a relativity thing.
I'll also admit that I haven't looked at your interactions that thoroughly yet.

It seemed more like he was pretending to scumhunt rather than actually figuring out my affiliation. His responses when I explained it to him are that a) I made an error, b) I should be self-conscious. Neither of those make any sense.
I agree that it is a bad tell, but I don't think it makes him scummy. He probably thinks he found something off about your play and thinks your reaction to it could be coming from scum.
Anyhow, where is the Falcon from mentor/mentee that could see the town motivation in Dr. D's and Slimer's posts? I'm not getting that here. All I see is over-defensive OMGUSing Falcon.
*Even though I don't want to, going to have to go back and check Bro vs Kagami and Bro vs Pie interactions before my next post because of the Bro wagon. But mostly because:
In post 450, Kagami wrote:Bro, you've thrice complained that it would be impossible for scum not to know about the weak stuff, and have even said that it would be "gamebreakingly bad modding" for that to be so. If you're wrong, that's one hell of an insult to pitoli. I think it's unlikely that you'd be willing to tell the mod off like that, especially since you've modded yourself and not without difficulty. The only way you could be sure you're not seriously insulting pitoli is if you are scum and you were indeed told about the weak modifier.
VOTE: bro
fwiw, I think pasch is scum too~
This jump onto the wagon reeks.

do you srsly think this is alignment indicative? I accused you of doing the same thing in AA:MFA iirc
Wasn't I questioned of the same thing in that game?
I realized I stopped quote-striping at some point and the reason for it is because I need to re-read the game. Also, Mastin has decided to join Falcon. Despite me wanting Falcon to be town because he is the only meta-diver I actually like, he has still disappointed me so far with his reactions to Dan. Mastin gets until my V/LA ends to convince me I'm wrong about the Falcon slot.
