If we're talking mid d1 I was the first person to call out the scum team, so I'm obviously the best town player here. You're welcome for the carry.

hahaha

my lock town on Robb was embarrassing

those hyper aggro ATE playstyles are my weak spot

Wow, what an amazing game!

Gotta say pisskop's claim did kickstart the game into some gear and from then on it was a constant rollercoaster. Good job town and good game!
I had loads of fun, especially nearing the end of day 1. It's the longest one I have ever had, but it was worth it.

Don’t feel bad. Lots of people get fooled.

Also the reason why me and Tchill didn’t seem like s v s is because I actually got so wrapped up into the game I forgot he was my scum buddy. We didn’t talk at all in our mafia forum.

What’s an ATE playstyle?

AtE = appeal to emotion, it's when you're trying to sway someone with emotional arguments rather than logical arguments.

It's a really scarily effective form of persuasion in the real world, and tends to work quite well on people who aren't aware of it, but it doesn't actually have any logical force behind it; it's just a fallacy. As such, it helps to be able to recognise AtE arguments so that you can disregard them. (Note that if someone's using AtE, it doesn't necessarily mean they're scum – townies often try to use it too, especially on people who it works on – but it does generally mean you should ignore them until they come up with some sort of evidence behind their argument.)

basically an emotional player. ATE = Appeal to emotions.

I am a very emotional person irl. While I am jovial irl, I do know how to use my emotions sometimes in mafia.

there you go, it sounds even better with a tiny bit of selective editing

AtE applies not only to blunt emotional arguments ("Why is everyone picking on me?") but also to more sophisticated appeals to baser functions. When you are manipulating your target into feeling empathetic, or playing on a personal relationship to elicit an irrational response, or when you're playing bombastically to intimidate or bully other votes and control the gamestate. All are versions of AtE.

Still caught scum my first non-newbie game

Can one of you say something glowing about my performance here so I can put it in my sig? “Menalque is the best/most promising new player that I’ve seen on the site” or words to similar effect

Or you can wait until after we lynch creature and I’m 2/2 on scum this game

Either way is fine honestly

Oh don't get me wrong if you're town please feel free to ride that high into the sunset, then back, and to the sunset again, it's 100% earned

As for your sig, how about

"Menalque hit scum in the cojones"

thanks Dann

wooooops that quote wasn't meant to be in there
