Because I can't figure out the pro-town utility of that statement.

Utility for me or utility for town? Because there's utility for town and that's why I posted it

Is utility for the town different than utility for you?

I spent about 10 minutes staring at that line trying to figure out why you would say that based on what alignment you might be.

I don't really see how that helps the town, hence me asking why it helps the town. Your post invites mafia, SKs, jesters, etc. etc. if they are present in this game to claim survivor.

I'm pretty dense when it comes to current theory/site meta/etc.etc.etc. so I'm genuinely asking what benefit you gave the town saying that.

I was trying to interpret that from the PoV of someone who doesn't know my alignment. I'd honestly say there's a difference between town utility vs. my utility, but everyone will interpret it differently from how I mean it. If I was mod!confirmed town I'd still say that.

The second part of my post? Not commenting beyond what I've said right now. Maybe I'm a Survivor and want to test the water before claiming or something

Good. That proves my mafiascum skills are still intact.

a good player can hide his allignment perfectly. Making it clear helps town play and hurts scum play for a person. You should never do anything that will hurt your wincon as one allignment for another.

on another note I will read in 10 minutes since net seems to be fine-ish for a moment

I dont get the talk about the utility. There are POSSITIVE and NEGATIVE UTLITTY

I dont think they are allignment inducative most of the time (some negative utlities are made for town/scum thou)

No but my town playstyle is pretty much shitty and possibly agressive when I believe someone to be scum which scum sometimes use to mislynch me.


I hate the fact that 80% of the games I am either killed or lynched early :P


@sleepy correct my info then.

think about it this way: if theoretically like 10/13 players confirmed themselves as town, itd be VERY easy to catch scum by PoE.

you want to show youre town if you are when it is helpful! It helps narrow down who the NOT TOWN are

It's very hard to hold up a lie for a (sometimes) several month game. Town can tell the truth better than scum can lie.

Can Confirm this isnt always true. :)
Also this playstyle helps me when I am a PR. As long as my play doesnt change I can sometimes make it late enough to get use of my pr

So I hate RVS and thought I would instigate things to get the game rolling. I wanted to wagon Natirasha mostly for info, not because I find her particularly scummy, but mostly for info. I don't mind if that makes me look hella scummy and accrue a lot of votes if we get some decent info out of it. Notice how my wagon stalled? It's because there are scum on it. Probably 2, but at least one, guaranteed. They can't push the mislynch too hard or fast for fear of sticking their necks out.

Therefore there is guaranteed scum in the set { SleepyKrew, Konowa, Wolfy, MadCitrus, Maestro }.

In particular I get bad vibes from the way MadCitrus limped onto my wagon. Check out his iso, too. It's trash. He votes me for practically non-existent reasons (voting the mod in a potentially-bastard game is a scumtell now? :lol: ) and then proceeds to do absolutely no scumhunting whatsoever.

He's replacing scumhunting with a bunch of useless obfuscation and theory about utility. That's not town.

Upon a re-read, this post stuck out to me too:

MadCitrus wrote:I like you Konowa. Welcome to my secret town-block.


Not because I think he's a scumbuddy (because right now I'm reading Konowa p town) but because it looks like buddying up to Konowa and hoping we won't notice that MadCitrus is just piggybacking on Konowa's reads.
