I mean, I'm not going to demonize people who use that as strategy, intentionally or unintentionally, and I won't blacklist them.

Hell, even saying I'm bitter would be a stretch. Just a bit bruised.

But it's not how I roll in mafia.

I don't think having blow-ups is appropriate for the game anyway, so having it used as a strategy makes it feel icky. I guess that's a better way of describing what I find wrong about it.

Yeah, that's what I mean

if Peta is scum with HQ and Peta is trying to mimic his town meta, he kind of has to treat HQ the same way he would if he were town - which would be to bury her ruthlessly.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what he did there if he is scum with her.

If they are S/S I don't think they strategized it out, sometimes things just happen.

That's true. But , had a lot of
arguments to suggest he was town rather than that.

So even if it weren't planned and was sincere and vying for his wincon, it doesn't sit right with me.

But I still think is likelier town here.

, do you hydra?

if scum/scum i think it probably arose from an ‘i am going to bus you’ ‘no don’t bus me’ ‘i am going to bus you’ type situation

though this doesn’t seem all that likely to me

and would be far from the most objectionable occurrence this game

Damn phone

now it is all three who have posted - at least two of which must be town - i, don’t understand, is a button town should always press

maybe they are too tired and can't see straight anymore

That's also possible

Shit this was a heavy game

I think if you draw a line where doing ___ as town is acceptable but doing the same thing as mafia is unacceptable, it just creates imbalances in the game.

I do recognize some players are unwilling to do certain things as mafia that they are willing to do as town but imo that is somewhat unfair for the players involved as it creates clears where there really should not be clears.

Pooky do u hydraaaaa

also the way the fight went down in the thread

and skitter didn't say anything the whole time

then HQ repped out

then skitter repped out

I don't think that happens unless Peta is fighting with HQ in the scum PT about how to play that game.

I'm very bad at it !

also the way peta says skitter tried to murder him

feels very performative/fake

like she didn't really try to kill him lol it's not like she can predict 2 votes would actually go through.

this game feels like one where if you've been playing since the beginning you will have lost all the spoons by now and just want it to be over.

Pooky can hydra. Don't let him fool you.

That's about perfect.

Mechanically, town should stop the clock and eliminate someone.

No wait, they can't vote for that unless they know who scum is.

If they miss, X gets a nightkill and it's over.

Tick away is the right play.

X would kill A while I would kill B, willing to take the risk X is seeing.

there's no difference between voting 1 person out and sending a coalition of 2 to ring the bell.

they should however use the no-lim to narrow the pool

I understand what you're saying. At least personally, I'm not willing to have a fight like that as any alignment, and I think that's a good line to draw
