I'll stop arguing with you because this really isn't a productive way to spend my time, but as a player who is genuinely capable of playing indistinguishably from my town game I find that it is far higher equity to play my scum game as a scum game rather than a town game where I have a scum win condition.
I am trying to find the closest thing to explain how I play scum, so that people stop accusing me of lying about faking my emotions. You play differently. Congrats! This is MY method and I’m sorry if you can’t respect it.

I've always felt that mafia is more of an emotional/psychological game than a logical game.
The logical part of playing scum is strategic but the emotional part isn’t. I honestly don’t know any better how to explain it. *shrug*

@RadiantCowbells, when I’m town, I’m obviously not method acting when I’m scum I am and while my logical decisions are strategic, my emotions and emotional reactions develop organically and to a large extent are beyond my control.

ok this is where emotions matter:
you get someone angry and they are more likely to slip alignment telling info bc when ur angry ur more careless.
thats it.

If I do that it isn’t strategic. I never try to get someone angry unless I’m genuinely angry at them. That’s how I’m being woefully misunderstood.

I really couldn't handle reconcile SS's low effort with being town =[

you're all cool people
this was ... not easy
Yeah, err
Again, sorry for my part in that. I should probably have repped out when I realised that koba is the way they are

Why did gobbles admit to being DC then :thonk:
Because in GnRIV nobody had any idea who I was and multiple guesses were entertained (including gobbles, titus, RC, and maybe nacho if memory serves) and so gobbles decided to meme by claiming that he was I in the postgame (presumably after seeing all the speculation)

ngl I feel like a little bit betrayed that what I thought was our first game together was not actually our first game together

lmao no, I just got super burned out but was struggling to actually take a break then (probably) caught COVID and had to rep out of all of my games
When I was thinking about coming back I wanted to see if playing on account where I wasn’t expected to tryhard in games would make playing more enjoyable and then... proceeded to have a shitfit in 2/3 towngames and to tryhard the other one, so basically the experiment was a failure (playing scum was more fun tho!)

Soooooorry — fwiw I prob would have invited you to jk9++ if I hadn’t been still avoiding outing DC at the time, and I was glad you took the final spot!

I really thought Pooky was scum after the fakeclaim was revealed.
I'm sad that there's a lot of hard feelings and that I didn't play better, but I think scum deserved the win.

I don't think there were really a lot of actual major hard feelings towards you aldu. I know I happened to have an unlikeable win condition this time but I admired the way you didn't give into the general frustration/AtE stuff in the air and just played your way.
Actually every time I play with you I tend to have at least one moment where I realise I think you're great. so, I think you're great.
