I still wish to see a better case against him come out before we get to many more votes. Realistically, from what i understand, he has two previous games. One scum and one town. realistically that isn't enough to try to compare his playstyle to previous games. When i was new to mafia, my playstyle would really switch up. It was also radical and often trollish. I wasn't trying to be, i was just new. What's really going to come down to is his interactions with other scum. Ill leave my vote for now, but i really don't like how fast this is going.
Fun fact pooky has exactly two games.

That is extremely funny. Pooky plays one game every 6 years, I guess!

dunno if it was in any way intentional but I sorta feel like our roles are similar to our personalities.

Nero Cain: I think dwlee's personality is scum.

Sure man, I think he played pretty well and I didn't really suspect him beyond "he's playing well and sometimes scum play so much better than town"

I could just be projecting here but I felt like General Woundwort matches my personality somewhat and while it's probably offensive to say so I felt like giving a miller to Andante and Titus replacing into the farm drunk (though the latter is just a coincidence) so I had sorta felt like the characters matched the roles a bit.
Sorry, I don't have a filter :/

You're good. He/they/she all work for me tbh, I just don't mention it cause I still feel weird bringing it up to people.

It is extremely ironic that basically my whole thing is that I hate when mod meta is used to decide games but at the same time there's just a metric ton of players in this game who would be extremely well served by knowing that I personally despise the traitor mechanic (I thought kind of famously) and I would be very unlikely to put it in a game I mod.

i dont know what flavor you have.
I'm saying that you saying you are a snake is you crumbing traitor to your cat scum buddies.
because snakes r treacherous animals by nature.
the combined with your hard defense of norwee-catscum on d1 makes it pretty likely you're just cat-scum-traitor here.
Pooky going full Redwall essentialist here.

I think Fark can be scum
Just not traitor scum. That's a weird thing to call out but maybe Pooky is angling because he's lost some sanity

Several users have already expressed that the term gaslighting is one that they do not like. Part of playing a game about lying on the internet is lying on the internet, and given that gaslighting as a term is most commonly used to describe domestic abuse, I am going to ask everyone, publicly, to stop using it. You can make your points without comparing people to domestic abusers.
Thank you.
Massively appreciate this post, I think mafia should stay within the range of logical fallacies and no further.

Pooks could've substituted (gaslighting) for something like Strawman and his post wouldn't change, imo

This ruleset is an experiment in being much more active as a mod in policing toxicity and tone and essentially giving myself leeway to do things like this. I think it's going well so far, though I think part of that is that we have a generally pretty jovial player list who isn't really prone to that sort of toxicity normally. I don't think Titus and Pooky are generally toxic players at all and I don't think either of them were trying to be toxic by using that term, but I also think its really fair to ask them not to say it lol.

i really thought Ivyeo is scum but now SS is in that slot and I always feel weird SRing SS because I've misread him so many times before

SS replacing in made me SR the slot more for the completely unfair reason of i was scum with SS recently and he just vibes completely the same no matter his alignment, apparently.

That moment when my team apparently find it more believable Fark is a traitor rather than me genuinely just pocketing them.

This fark stuff is a good example of my bias as the mod. I thought it was so incredibly obvious that he was softing doc but looking at the thread and all the scum PTs literally no one seems to have picked up on it.

The dynamic i might have had with Farkran would have been so interesting if i didn’t get quickwagoned by jerks.

The logical conclusion of "SS is the same as he was last time we played together and he was scum." isn't "therefore he is the same every alignment."

Chara uses it, not she, btw.

I quite enjoyed your general woundwort cosplay.
