You think both scum would jump on the same thing at the same time?

Three scum reads this early? What's your metric?

I meant that it is a completely possible, and while not likely, should not be ignored. Leaving out part of someone's thoughts without a good reason, to me often just comes off as if they're hiding something, or could be actively trying to deceive others.

I think you're reading too much into RVS.

Probably, but it's a choice I made and I still stand by what I said in the last post.

It's getting late, so I'll probably be back tomorrow.

I also think you are scum. Tell me why Strange matter is scum and you aren't "reading too much into RVS" or is that just another RVS vote?
For bonus points, figure out why I think you are scum

Kinda figured I was one of your three.

I have no way of knowing why Strange is scum, the game just started. I just put a vote on them to see what would happen.

Pretty sure I know why you think I'm scum. I won't entertain your reasoning though because it's pretty flimsy, and we both know you're just gauging me anyway.

How much/how little it takes for something to ping you.

I get that but sometimes you do have to just be logical. It’s not about ignoring it’s just logic. Do you think they are both scum? Just one? Who?

Mind telling me what my flimsy reasoning is? or at least why you think I SR you? I do but you can get town points for answering correctly :D

That sounds like a pretty useless scum radar to me. Townies do scummy shit all the time.

I don't think your town points mean much if I can get scum points just for commenting on Bakslash's post.

Rather than constantly discrediting me, I'd appreciate if you just answered my questions. Because if you are town here, you are making me SR you far more than you would if you just answered questions instead of being super defensive. I haven't even told you why I SR you. Relax and answer my questions. I have yet to give a solid read. Currently I only have suspicions but they mean nothing if I end up thinking you are town. If you are town, you have nothing to worry about.

I am, I just read up a bunch on the game over the past couple months. Mainly just the wiki, but also some Newbie games and example games. Never really played post-by-post Mafia until joining this site though. I've played Mafia casually as a party game with friends though.

If my vote on Strange pinged you then your points really do mean nothing. Scum doesn't hop on wagons that are DoA.

Your attempts at intimidating me aren't gonna work, sorry. Your question has zero calories and adds nothing to the game. Telling me to relax when you're the one getting riled up is some interesting projection though.

I don't know what DoA is but I'll just tell you why I SR you. If you are town, I am certain we will get along just fine once I realize that. I'm having some trouble reading you at the moment but I do think its very very possible you are town here. There's just a couple things I have some issues with. Maybe we can clear these up rn.

I think scum would want to blend in and throw a random vote out though
.
This was the first post that I had an issue with. It looks pretty simple upon first seeing it but I keep getting ominous feelings from it. I worry because it feels like it has ulterior motives to it. Calling out Bakslash is so random and specific given at this point in time there were multiple players who hadn't even posted. What makes you think bakslash is specifically avoiding? The part that worries me the most is the bolded part. I keep getting ominous feelings because it feels very .... idk tricky and slippery. Like I feel like its very simple and straightforward but it's also kind of saying "look I didn't just throw a random vote out to blend in. I must be town" and that level of the simplest manipulation really just makes me think noob scum.
I'm biased because noob scum me was 100% like that but I understand not all newbies are like me. But I just keep getting ominous feelings about this post. Idk this is one of my biggest issues with you atm. Lets talk this out please.

The progression from shock that I had three scum reads to being like "I figured I was one of them" read kind of self conscious and fake.
I'm more worried about the fake part since i guess I could see town thinking I was talking about them and brushing it off to not seem self conscious. I totally see that since I do that occasionally and subconsciously a lot of the time also.

To clarify, the fake part is kinda like the asking what my metric was which is not something I typically would expect town to ask there because idk it feels like covering up fakeness(the shock). I might be reading too much into this tbh.

This was all SOOOO defensive. I'm not a fan but I don't feel as strongly about this post since I've seen defensive townies that will discredit as a way to defend themselves.

So Roden, I don't think you are definitely scum at this point in time but I have some concerns. If you would reply, I would be very happy and be able to sort you more easily. I have to go sleep now but I'd love to see replies by tomorrow if its no trouble :mrgreen:

Man are you defensive. Oh well I'll still try to work with you if I believe you are town. We'll see :)
