Hm...

Firstly, you seemed to act like the biggest newbie this game. Try not to pull anything like that in any other games, regardless of alignment. It shows weakness, and scum could certainly take advantage of that weakness.

*looks at Majiffy*

Secondly, I think you were pretty flip-floppy this game, which is fine, because some newbies tend to be really cautious as townies. But when you go from "Sakura is scum no doubt" to "I want to unvote because she's at L-1," again, scum could take advantage of that and a smart townie may go ahead and follow through with votes and lynches.

I think that's it for PhDScar.

Did we discuss in post-game that Sakura's slip wasn't even a slip, that it was truly a grammar thing? If I would've known that, I would've thrown the town bloc out the window. Then I probably would've been a much more obvious target for Majiffy.

why mention this?

flip floppy isn't scummy or a scum tell. Anyone who uses that as a basis for a lynch is scum.

The bold is for general flip-flopping.

The smart townie thing was for the specific thinking someone is no doubt scum to not wanting them lynched while they're at L-1. At least, I'd catch onto that and think that's scummy. *shrug*

Also, my memory's pretty foggy throughout Day 1, I might've caught onto that quick transition from PhD, I might not have. I only noticed it now because I looked through his ISO.

Basically, thinking someone is scum just because they're flip flopping is scummy, IMO. However, saying that flip flopping isn't a scum tell is ludicrous, because it's all based on how the flip flopping occurs in a certain game. It's the way someone flip flops that could be scummy, and even then, that shouldn't be enough to call them scum and go through a lynch.

Thanks Bo. It's going to probably take me a few games to stop doing all this stuff but I'll try.

That's the spirit.

I'm glad I was able to IC this game. Overall, I feel like my purple-font things didn't distract much from my actual play.

I'm not going to keep IC'ing into games though. Most likely I'll /in to the queue that needs more players, for the sake of Queue flow. I don't mind either position.

Once I mod my first game, I'll also frequently mod Newbie games since I know sometimes Mod participation drops.

You only want to mod so you know my alignment and can read me!

Well GG, town! Glad we won. Sorry for my lack of activity. Unfortunately, I didn't have too much time. Normally I'm more of an analytical player, but didn't have that much time so I tried a somewhat different approach; going more for reactions. I tried appearing as the cop, somewhat, so that Mafia would target me. I knew Mutley was town. Last three games I played, he was in there as well. So I had a pretty good feel about his alignment.

Majiffy definitely had a tough way to go, but he almost made it! Props to both mafia players, you did a good job. Can't say too much about the other players, you all did quite well. Sometimes you have to pursue your suspects a bit more though. Don't give up too quickly when you think you're on too something.

Nacho, thanks for modding. The flavor was a fun read!

No shit. It definitely worked on me.

@Mutley: Nah, I've just always liked being a mod on an old site. It's a lot less formal over there, but you guys play more interestingly.

Haha, I just finished reading the dead qt. Hilarious stuff, really. I love how active it was. Brilliant.

Freezing, what did you actually mean with that doc-situation?

Also Nacho, you may wanna close the Dead QT.

This is why I killed Freezing, I thought he slipped as tracker.
