If you're interpreting my chat room comment to mean conversational tone in general, that's not what I mean.

so ppls alignment could change. boo hoo.

I wasn't really talking about this game though, just the whole "its a meme game, lets not effort!

I like {liking wagons}, but I like {liking wagons} better when accompanied by a reason the wagon is liked.
I don't have a mastina opinion yet. Mostly because I skimmed too fast. Seems a reasonable/important thing to develop at this juncture.
I don't remember FL being nervous about joining wagons before.

Because you haven't obvtowned yourself to that point yet.In post 428, Auro wrote:Mastina why am I not locktown
Your play right now is far more likely to be town than scum--but this level of performance from you isn't yet utterly outside of your scumrange, not yet at least. Same reason Vecna isn't locktown yet.
To put this in the context of a recently completed game--if you look at what you and Vecna have done in this game, compared to what you and Vecna did in Doubles Mafia, that can give you a fair idea of where I am coming from here. In Doubles Mafia, both of your slots became insanely town and this game I see the starts of what I think is probably similar...but you should be self-aware enough to know that
right now
, your level of play here is not the same level of play in Doubles Mafia (and similarly for Vecna; he should be self-aware enough to know that right now
, his play isn't at the insanely town levels yet
),You're townreads. Townreads with decent confidence. Not weak townreads, not townleans, well and true, proper, townreads. I expect you to move into the locktown tier given more time, but as has been pointed out: game is less than 24 hours old. Vecna's not someone who instantly obvtowns and you're someone who, while they
can
, often doesn't. It took you both time to ramp up to those levels, and I am expecting similar here.Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 8:48 am
Everything.In post 439, farside22 wrote:Mastina: what is you scum read on EtL based on?
This instantly pegged me as being far, far too serious especially for a meme game.In post 8, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:no.
Not only did this continue the trend of being too serious, it was also, to use a buzzword, LAMIST; ETL was putting in effort to look like she was being town, without doing anything that was actually town. Furthermore, the asking of the question looks entirely fake, or if there were truth to it, scum asking about the town's role PMs due to not having all the information they think they need.In post 11, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:However, I would like to know how we gain immunity, because nothing in my role PM explained that bit. I didn't know if I should direct the question publicly to the mod in the thread or not, so I asked via PM. <<<@mod: I hope this is ok to post?The rules on this site have changed so much since I last played regularly, I have no idea whats kosher anymore.
32 has her accuse Miss Lynch of trying awfully hard when her own iso is by far the most guilty of that sin. The fight with Miss Lynch in general felt like a forced fight to get early cheap towncred, too, as people are likely to write off a fight of that nature as TvT. It's a common scum tactic for people of her generation; you deliberately enter into a fight with a town player early who is suspicious of you. That way, their suspicions look less likely to be correct, and people are more inclined to think that both participants are wrongly-tunneling town. It gives a way to stay out of the spotlight later on, because people have written you off as wrong-town, rather than scum.
I know ETL AtEs as both alignments and her AtE this game didn't feel town at all; it felt particularly 'fake', for lack of a better word--maybe overblown would be better? In that I have little doubts ETL felt emotions, but her posting here felt like it was overplaying them, for lack of better terminology. Forcing the feelings, I guess you could say.
Everything about her content this game has felt incredibly calculated and precise, with an odd level of calmness. She radiates an aura of cool, collected, precise posting, one of artificial tone.
Better question isn't why am I scumreading ETL; it's why are you townreading her? That's literally why I initially placed you so low initially; your early defense of her felt off. (I later reconsidered and thought it more likely you're town wrongly defending scum.)

General consensus, which I agreed with, seemed to be that playing to get recruited is playing against your current wincon for the chance at getting another wincon that you may never actually get and if you're never recruited then playing to get recruited is playing against your current wincon, that it's better to play to your current wincon even if it does risk the recruitment.

3 points: 1. I missed Flavor Leaf's UNVOTE. I have a reasonable excuse for this: I am using MafTiger, and MafTiger is a truly hideous and broken theme that does not show votes or unvotes as any different from other text, see evidence below:In post 487, mastina wrote:Yeah you sure are gullible and have been played; if you weren't gullible to being played, you wouldn't be joining one of the objectively worst wagons of 2020.In post 454, Miss Lane wrote:I appear to be gullible and have been played, and I am ashamed.

2. I have always been relatively gullible regardless of the game in real life and outside of it.
3. This wagon is not objectively one of the worst even in the last two months. It's actually pretty ok, you're introduction has been pretty scummy.
That said, for now, UNVOTE: mastina

You should be a constant not a variable to yourself, unless you are expecting your alignment to be switched during the course of the day. I mean, play according to your current alignment and eat the rope already.In post 383, Saudade wrote:No i am also a variable in itself because I interact with the other 20 variables
Also, regarding your signature.. so you mean Ultravox' Vienna (which is actually a girl's name) or Falco's Vienna (calling) which is the capital of Austria??

Even as scum, I don't fake feelings. I feel what I feel, and you of all people should know better than to post this. You have even said in other games where you were actually town, that my emotions are NAI, so now suddenly it is? BS. This is how I know you're scum. When you try to twist what you know of my meta in order to convince people who don't that what you're saying is correct when you know it isn't. << That's the kind of shit that makes me angry.In post 485, mastina wrote:I know ETL AtEs as both alignments and her AtE this game didn't feel town at all; it felt particularly 'fake', for lack of a better word--maybe overblown would be better?

This has been, by far, one of the most obvtown games of mine all year; I literally never get more obviously town than I am this game.
Aside from that, yes, the wagon is objectively shit:

Your assessment is objectively wrong, mastina, and I don't think I've ever seen you hold so strongly to something so obviously logically incorrect (although I guess I haven't known you for long). You may be townie compared to yourself (I don't know you well enough to tell), but you haven't been townie when measured with the standard of the average player.

I can be obvtown and still be wagoned; the presence of a wagon (or even a lynch) doesn't mean I wasn't obvtown--it means the wagon is just. that. shit.
