AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIn post 86, Amrun wrote:I never implied you were scum, Wisdom. If I had conviction on that end, I would have said so.
Eno, 5 sounds good. The main thing is we don't want to end up with only one suspect in the lynch pool in case (s)he becomes obvious town. Also having dueling wagons is always helpful for later analysis.
Furthermore, letting scum choose whether or not they are in the lynch pool by only choosing one side of the challenge removes a town advantage that we should absolutely have.
And Wisdom is probably town because he's engaging in risky behavior for scum.I'm one of the more experienced players in the game, which makes attacking me for, essentially, being too pro-town and being extremely rude in the process an intimidating one for scum. It's still risky even if I were a newer player, though a little less so. Either way being rude for rudeness sake is a quick way to make enemies and scum desire NOT to do this. Some people are rude no matter what, but either way I'm happy setting him aside for the day.
and you say wis is the one with the ego?????

I think you need to take a look at this game:In post 115, AngryPidgeon wrote:Wisdom is town.
Amrun is scum. Off the bat strategy speculation is definitely more likely to come from scum than town and I love how she is trying to prove shes town in 94 without just saying she is. The argument with wisdom makes zero sense from a town perspective, especially since she thinks hes town.
Why does this matter?In post 48, Amrun wrote:We should all also agree to use the vote tags for real votes because it's a different color.
If people are reading and comprehending the thread, there is no need for overly formatted voting. That just lets people be lazy and skim crap anyways.
appeal to fear. And probably not unless you think its scum just targeting town/town groups and if that is the case then just PL their scumbutts for doing stupid shit like that. Self-correcting problem.In post 48, Amrun wrote:we will lose this game fast.
Wow, and that talk about experience is BULLSHIT and completely irrelevant. Experience does not make someone a better player and really why the hell are you arguing this? You could be scumhunting people but instead you are having a pointless argument with someone you think is town - or do you?
Oh and the quick shift of tones suggests that amrun was faking all that outrage in the first place - which she was because shes scum so.

first off it NOT stupid to want to talk to your partner and feel them out cos if I townread him I will probably orient my game around him unless goes after my townreads. why are you undermining my play?In post 144, Wisdom wrote:
mollie, you said this towards the beginning of the game too (that you want to talk to Majiffy first), and it's stupid. You don't have to talk to Majiffy first before doing other things.In post 142, pirate mollie wrote:

re: this whole dumb experience argument
I know players who have been playing for years and are legitimately still terrible. they make no effort to improve their game and are quite lazy. on the inverse I have seen some newbs nail scum early on but some dummies will dismiss their reads cos they think experience equates with skill and raw talent and it does not.
I think amrun was just being arrogant I did not get the impression that she was trying to discredit you wis. you are reminding me of how you were in polygamy where you would on a peripheral point in order to stay sticky with your scumreads. you only had 2 in that game and something else I am noticing is that when you are scum you tend to pick on girls.

well I think you are pretty easy to get along with most of the time although you drove me nuts in gears. also I told you guys majiffy was scum in that game. also I am still a bit pissy cos you like gave me no credit for figuring out everyone's alignment on d1 in poetic justice.In post 207, AngryPidgeon wrote:

Sc, were you saying your read on me is based on Wis flipping scum?
Majiffy, are you scum this game bro?
but I suppose you want to know what I think of you inthisgame.
well majiffy has you down as confscum so that probably means you for sure are town. I have never played against you as scum but I would like to think that I could spot you anyways. I think you are barking up the wrong tree with amrun. did you look at the game I linked where wisdom was scum?
also is there anyone here who can read ns cos I can't read him worth shit.whew!- pirate mollie

mollie, Mara already made me lose a game because she was paranoid that I'd fool her again. Don't do the same please, thanks.
the thing is, is that I should be getting a loud signal if you are town cos I usually do and I am not.

Because this shit about wisdom and amrun was the same as wisdom and vig the last game. Misrep abit with attacking, then backing down at the last part seems the same.

I am not sure if I can explain it tbh. it is just when he is town I get this really clear feeling that he is town and I tend to work with him. I am just not feeling it in this game.In post 244, enomis wrote:I don't want to read through all those. Mind giving me a tl;dr of wisdom town? And does he do the attacking then backing shenanigan everytime he starts a game?
I am not going to be able to produce a solid case on wis, I freaking can never do that. I am a gut player and most of what I have down as scumtells are interpreted differently on this site. he isn't dropping any of the classic scumtells that I usually go by though, it is more of a difference in how he feels.whew!- pirate mollie

I am leaning unsure/town. she isn't jumpy, she is responsive not reactive but responsive in a way that seems natural and genuine. she isn't misstepping at all and is putting herself in convos where she easily could do so. I am not getting her town read on dance guy or me, that is mebbe the only thing that is keeping her out of my town pile.
what do you think of ap cos my townreads are scumreading him and I am not seeing it. he is going for weird angles which reminds me of his posh game and he was town then. I remember it was the weird angles that made me town read him in that game and we clung to each other as if we were drowning (lol, which we were), we just couldn't sync up our reads.whew!- pirate mollie

Sorry I thought you guys would get that.
@enomis
I already said that I found it strange that Wisdom attacked Amrun with so much venom. If it wasn't serious it would lie more with the meta I had on him. But apparently his meta is different.
I don't like how you're making generalizations about me asking useless questions and posting useless comments. The only "useless" one I can think of is my joke read on SD.whew!- pirate mollie

hi groovey kid hi
you have been in this game 5 minutes and you are already getting on my nerves.
I already answered as to why I was waiting for majiffy so I won't be repeating myself.
majiffy and I have played like 30? 40? games together or something and we also have a hydra. when you have that much experience with a player you can usually read them pretty well. he did something in gchat that made me really think that majiffy is town and if anyone goes near him I will crush them.
majiffy and I won't be using a qt, if we talk outside the game thread it will be via gchat and texting but that will be very little. we both prefer in thread interaction.
1 of the ways to maximise your communication with your partner is to engage in convo and get a feel for them. do they seem comfortable? nervous? and discuss the game and mebbe get their take on it.
"burying posts" is a highly effective scum tactic cos it spams up the thread with a bunch of posts that wears down even the most dedicated of readers. uber goober and vifam did this in posh and it worked like a charm. whenever town started to coalesce a bit they both would come in and make like 20 posts each in effect, "burying" relevant content and interrupting the flow of conversation. majiffy doesn't see this as a scum tell but I do cos the frequency, content and pacing is different when it comes from town than when it comes from scum. what wis was doing was breaking up coug's posts into single responses when he could have just made one long one addressing the points in his single post. this will become important later on after a couple of flips in order to discern a trail.
now. your questions come across as being a bit useless cos they are persistent and incessant (not to mention repetitive) and seem less like you are trying to determine anyone's alignment from them and more like you just want to look busy which I see as more scum motivated.whew!- pirate mollie

I think that is a terrible reason to put someone in your town pile fwiw. in my very first scum game on here I subbed in and immediately took on voided and thad. my scummate was at L1 and I tore the wagon apart but attracted voided's suspicions. anyways kuribo subbed in the next day round and I freaked a bit and got uncomfortable cos he was going through his divorce and I felt guilty scumrolling him and it showed and I was lynched.In post 320, Amrun wrote:No, that's not the only reasons for Wisfom town.He attacked a player with an earlier join date etc. with unknown skill (to him) very aggressively in a way that I think is indicative of town. He was also quick to admit he was wrong even when I was still under fire from other parties. I don't particularly care if you agree with my town read, though.
"La la land mudslinging" is my slang for throwing nonsensical shit at someone and hoping it sticks. In this case, I was referring to you, though I also think it's true of AP (and moreso).
anyhoo, moral of the story, a skilled experience player is not afraid to take on the heavy hitters in a game and I am telling you that wis skilled and experienced. mebbe not as experienced as you, or some of the other players in this game but he is definitely no dummy.whew!- pirate mollie

yes. for me it does. there was flow to coug's thoughts that if I look back and try to find your exchanges it fragments the conversation. I also think breaking it up in the way that you did was completely unnecessary hence why you are in my unsure/leaning scum pile. why are you asking me these dumb questions instead of getting your hands dirty? you did a bit with amrun but I don't see you doing anything else. what are your reads right now you usually have list by p10.In post 328, Wisdom wrote:I don't see the difference; all my posts addressing his points were one after another; would it be different if they were in a single post?whew!- pirate mollie

They seem incessant because I'm making the most of my time online. I don't see the link between "uselessness" and "persistence".
Rest assured I'm trying to determine alignment with these questions. You have your ways and I have mine. Trying to get a feel of the people and the game mechanics, while at the same time establishing my presence here.
I don't like the general ambiance in this topic. Very long toes and very little goodwill/patience.
I have very little patience with newbs (although it was oddly recommended that I apply for IC status) unless I am mentoring them which is why I stay out of rome unless asked by a mod and I have zero patience or goodwill for someone who tries to dictate my play. you do not get to control the tone of this convo cos it is a 2 way street and there are 2 different people in it and we all have our ways. mafia is not all fluffy bunnies and roses if you want a site that likes that kind of shit in their mafia games I can recommend one.
so far you are being awfully defensive, petulant and yes, useless and you misrepped amrun cos she was in no way being aggressive with you. if you honestly believe that that was aggressive then you will probably get eaten alive by majiffy and I. and wis too but he is being subdued WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON I AM SCUM READING HIM. in other words amrun is like mary fucking poppins so why are you trying to take with her (with me, I actually get) and making it out like she is not?

In post 369, Grimgroove wrote:It's the posts I brought up during my round of incessant questions. Basically it's mainly related to your earlier period in the game.
I want you to post which posts you find scummy and explain why. you don't just get to sit back and call all of my posts until p6 scummy unless you can think of a scum motivation for doing so. fluff posts are alignment neutral unless they persist throughout the game.you mean those posts where your questions were already answered by the time you got to the end of the thread? you asked questions but you never stated why you found those posts scummy.
Note that there will again be many questions in this thread. Even though one of their aims is that you answer them, a secondary function is that they clarify my thought process and reflect my thoughts about you.
First it started with your fluff for the first six pages or so. I thought it was scummy because it showed no commitment when it comes to moving this game forward.
here is a game where every single one of posts were "fluffy" until d2:
http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=25693
in fact, I think I made only 1 post with content and that was to point out that we had a missing kill and that I blocked nacho. flawless town victory. I trolled the fuck out nacho while I was looking for his partner in fact, I think the post that I outed was the only non fluff post in the game other than my guille vote.
what is weird is that you read on me should have progressed as you got caught up with the game. and it hasn't. you are still scumreading me cos of early posts. do you know who are sticky with their reads in lieu of gathering and assimilating new information? scum that is who.
except me saying I want to interact with majiffy is not "fluff". there is motivation behind it as in I want to get a read on him asap.Your explanation of this fluff I also found scummy. You said you were waiting to interact with Majify in order to be able to proceed. You say you explained why (the quote above is what I found), but I don't find this explanation satisfactory, and here is why.
erm, your interpretation does not make sense. it is implicit that I want to get an early read so I don't spend the whole game paranoid over him like I sometimes do. he gave me that town signal right off the fucking bat and it was beautiful cos I am fairly certain he is town. and we work well together when we are both town even though we have a tendency to fight over our reads.First of all, you state that you need to chat with Majify in order to avoid tunneling him. This does not make sense for several reasons, and the lack of sense makes it scummy:
- Why would you tunnel him before interacting with him? You seem to equate "getting into the game before chatting with Majify" with "trolletracking Majify". This doesn't make sense. Why does MAjify have to be your starting point?
I am not the one who is making a big deal over it you and wis were. I also wanted him to explain the set-up to me cos I frankly didn't understand it. the obtainment of the read took a lot less time than I thought it would.- Obviously, getting the read of Majify was just a matter of procedure. 5 minutes was all it took. Then why make such a big deal of it before? If it was just such a short procedure, I don't see why you couldn't get started with other things in the meanwhile until you had it done.
did you miss the part where I said, "again"? I am guessing you did. I am just going let you work that one out on your own, by your sarcasm I am guessing you can!- Why would tunneling him be bad? Considering you read him like an open book, I guess this means that if you do tunnel him, that means he must be scum. Why do you fear trolleytracking MAjify if you later claim to read him easily? The fear seems unfounded given your special connection.
how the fuck did you getWhat I also found scummy (now a bit less because MAjify is untroubled by it) was how you seemed to give up your ownership on your own posts and thought processes in post 155 ("cos if I townread him I will probably orient my game around him unless goes after my townreads.") It sounds like we should adress any further questions to Majify instead of to you.thatinterpretation out of what I said? why would you ask majiffy questions that you wnt me to answer? that doesn't even make sense.
lol. if I thought you were some easily impressionable newb don't you think that I would be coddling you like you want me to? I don't think you are stupid, just new, so I am not going to treat you like you are stupid. is that okay?And I'm not sure if it's scummy, but I don't like the attitude you are having here. Yes, I know you won't care, but that doesn't matter. It seems like all you have done so far is secure a townread from Majifyu to cruise through this topic unquestioned and act like big bad-asses, but I'll tell you right now I'm not in the least bit impressed. It could be scummy in the sence that you're maybe trying to paralyze my efforts and you take me for some easily impressionable newbie, but I will not be deterred from my cause of finding scum. If I meet you on the way I'll gladly take Majify with it.
you know what I find laughable? that you are scumreading me cos you think I didn't show commitment by p6 and we are now on p13 and you have yet to cough up a single read. I don't think I am the one with commitment issues here. <----- that is laughable.Your macho-prattling in [pos]359[/post] was the most laughable thing I've read since my arrival at Mafiascum. Congratulations.
you have been defensive in this very post, lolWhere have I been defensive, awfully so?
well I don't know what your intentions since you have not given a read on amrun I am just giving you my honest interpretation.I did consider Amrun's response as agressive, but that doesn't mean I partuvlarly care about it. It's not a misrep but an honest interpretation. Note I also did not connect any indication of alignment to it. Misreps are made with the aim of painting someone off as scummy. i didn't do such a thing.whew!- pirate mollie

you misunderstand me. I am not saying that I find wis sus cos of a lack of aggression I am saying that he went meek when he was being called a dick. he became more subdued after that exchange IMO.In post 371, Amrun wrote:Pirate mollie, you have used the same thing to call wisdom scum that I used to call him town. (One of the things, anyway.) You are saying he is less aggressive than usual which is scummy. I was saying the opposite (without the metric of what usual is for him) and you disagreed with the reasoning. Explain that, please.
Grim, I can be, have been, and will be aggressive when and if it suits my mood and/or the game. Are you always so sensitive to aggression? Do you have evidence of this?whew!- pirate mollie

do not talk about ongoing games this is a board wide rule violation, plz don't ever do it again.In post 372, Grimgroove wrote:In post 371, Amrun wrote:Grim, I can be, have been, and will be aggressive when and if it suits my mood and/or the game.
Lol, what is up with you people? No need to take yourself so seriously. I get it, you like to roll your muscles.
I didn't mean to tell any of you how to behave, I just gave my view of how I don't really like these "I don't care what you think about me" posts. They are not very engaging.
Maybe it will grow on me, who knows.
Yes, I'm a delicate little flower.Are you always so sensitive to aggression?
Do you have evidence of this?Not really. But maybe Elyse can weigh in on this, as she told me I need thicker skin. I recently had a (supposedly over-)sensitive reaction when she called my contributions fluff in another game. But that's is an ongoing game, so you won't be able to get any conclusion alignment-wise based on that, if that's what you're after.
The only game I've been in that's finished was a micro-game together with Wisdom. I don't recall any major bursts of aggression there, the issue was never brought up in any case.
Come to think of it: why is this relevant?whew!- pirate mollie

yes. it is. mebbe you don't understand what overly defensive isIn post 378, Grimgroove wrote:Before the wall, maybe this appetizer first: it is not.
he never said this nor did he imply that you were a "pushover". majiffy says that to everyone hence the avvie title "go with the flow". click on his sig (flowchart), he really does believe that shit. he could think you are the hercules of mafia and he would still say that.Basically Majify is not trying to convince me either of you are town, he's simply TELLING me to believe him. If he truly believes this will work,he must think I'm a push-over. Hence the reaction you bolded.
you are seriously playing this little game inside your head that doesn't seem to have a lot to do with reality. majiffy was being serious. like he really does believe you should just accept what he says at face value. he isn't really joking.I did, however, mark a hint of comedy in his edict. I like the occasional laugh just as much as any hyena. This is why I added a similarly silly request, of ceasing certain activities. There was a similar hint of comedy in that request, which mirrored Majify's, and which shows I was not being overly defensive.whew!- pirate mollie

watIn post 379, Grimgroove wrote:I realize I didn't. This was merely an introduction to the answers you were looking for. I'm glad to see you found them right after making this redundant remark.
I fucking can't follow what the hell you are saying at all. like I am not even sure what kind of convoluted point you are trying to make here.
dude. read what I am trying to tell you. not all fluff posts come from scum. <----------- are you following me here? what it comes down to is motivation of posts and body of work.I found the posts scummy because they were fluff.
I find fluff scummy because of the reason in the snippet you just quoted of me: lack of commitment to get the game forward.
Doing what you ask me to do would basically boil down to me showing why your first posts were all fluff. An unnecessary exercise, considering how you agree with that.
read aboveSorry, I don't care much about meta-arguments. Definitely with a person with your gaming history: I'm sure you have a mafiagame where the scenario benefits your defense for many different occasions, obviously including this one.
jesus christ you are not overly defensive at all.Oh, and to beat you to it: the reason I pointed to other games myself when Amrun was asking me for evidence that I don't react well to aggression is precisely because she asked me. I'm assuming she didn't want a psychiatric report. If people ask me to provide them with my meta I'll do so, but I'll never use it as an argument myself.
you aren't at all addressing an argument that I haven't even made and is no where near the original point that I was making.
wat. the. fuck.Yes, that's all fine and dandy, but I don't really have a scumread on you. You're null. I never claimed otherwise.
I probably gave you this impression because I just listed all your scummy posts and told you why I thought they were scummy. Why I did that? Oh, because you asked me to.
you are the one who originally posited that I was the only player whom your were getting scummy vibes from. I asked you to put up or stfu. all that you have given me is that you cannot seem to differentiate between playstyle and actual scumtells. <---alignment neutral IMO cos I see scum and town both make really dumb arguments with really bad reasoning.
lol, I am not the one running around and going "ack! ack! ack! I am not a pushoveeeeer! " so I hardly think that I am the one who is trying to be a badass here.There have been positive vibes coming from your slot as well. Sometimes I posted something, and when I continued rereading I saw you sometimes make the same remark or thought process as I would. MAybe you considered this mere repetition from my part, but from my PoV this made me feel better about you in the later stage of the game. Apart from the bad ass image you are trying to portray, that is.
do you have any idea how condescending your posts come across? they are pretty insulting and slathered in sarcasm which I am reading as you being overly defensive and I am wondering why. I can't tell if you are some insecure newbtown and who is trying to prove how incredibly secure he is or if you are newbscum who is hedging on reads and trying to argue nonexistant points in order to look busy and and engaged. I find it hard to believe that by now you do not have 1 single read.
I want a list of your reads.whew!- pirate mollie

@ groovey kid
I am not going to do round of wall wars with you cos tbh I find them boring and tedious. I will do a round or 2 but anything beyond and my brains just shuts down. so I am not going to respond to you point by point, I am just going to go over the highlights.
- I am guessing that eno's response (who was more succinct and more articulate in his explanation than I ever could) as to why someone might want to talk to their partner cos you seem satisfied with the answer. the only thing I would add is that discussing reads with your partner is a good way to bounce off ideas cos one person might see something the other miss. it is 1 of the reasons why I like hydras (I am in 6), cos I have another person to talk to and it helps me to stay grounded. left to my own devices I am likely to be consumed by paranoia, get confused, jump at shadows and make terribad decisions. I am well aware of my strengths and weaknesses in mafia so I try to hydra with people who can balance that out. what I am wondering is why coug has not explained the benefits of having another person to bounce things off of in your qt and why you did not just ask him there instead of bringing it to the thread.
- why I am town reading majiffy: in gchat (and you may or may not understand this) he said, "don't mention ongoing games" cos he thought that I was referring to a game that was in the late stages where we pretty much went 1v1 for 3 game days. I wasn't. I was referring to if I do not get sort him out early I will remain paranoid for the entire game. <----- he came to this conclusion, all on his own through no help from me. the reason why I read tht as pure town was cos his chastisement came from a place where he was genuinely trying to get a read on me and didn't want an outside influence that he could not use. he was genuinely trying to read me where as scum he would already know my alignment. does this make sense?
- re: "fluff posting". the reason why I wanted you to look at that link I posted not cos I wanted to say "look see! I fluff post as town too!" but instead to demonstrate that not all "fluff posts" are actual fluff posts. in the that game I was accused of doing nothing but "fluff posting" and being useless when every single thing I did had a purpose behind it, it just would not be obvious to some people. I pegged nacho as scum early but knew I would not be able to get him lynched cos people were putting him as town for retarded reasons so instead I sheeped all of his votes and whenever someone would question me as to the reasoning behind my votes I would "baaaaahaaa" or pictures of sheep. I was the town role blocker and I was trying to fish out nacho's partner and them lynched, which I did, put his partner at L1 and he was hammered, blocked nacho (who tried to kill me cos he knew I knew he was scum) outed my role, lynched nacho, game won.
I have been playing mafia for a long time just on different sites. I have a different playstyle than most and a very large scumhunting toolbox. sometimes I will flirt, joke, get confrontational, talk about the weather or whatever in order to get players to drop their guard and give up a tell. the whole point is to disarm the player in order to get a read. I base my reads on how people react and try to determine if it comes from a town or scum mindset. I once got uber goober to let down his guard and tell me why scum was keeping me alive in posh. <----- still couldn't get him lynched even though he stated it right there in the thread.
I am simply not everyone's cup of tea and I am pretty sure you will never understand "mollie logic". I don't think like most people and a lot of people scumread me for this but what I have noticed is that it is usually scum who are sticky with their read cos when I am town I freaking scream town.
is there anything else you would like to knowwhew!- pirate mollie

hi coug
let's dance.
I think him asking about why I would want to talk to talk to majiffy first before committing to reads is very newbish. my "overreaction" is more or less my aversion to tone trolling, which is what he was doing.In post 410, StrangerCoug wrote:
I don't see Grimgroove's post as remotely newbish, even though yes, he is new. Where is he trying to control the conversation? Where is he trying to control how you are playing? This is quite a bit of an overreaction to a simple post.In post 359, pirate mollie wrote:
newsflash: I don't careIn post 346, Grimgroove wrote:I repeated myself only once, when asking about the use of the QT's. I'll use it to my best abilities, or just hope StrangerCoug can use it better and secure a warranted town-read on me.
They seem incessant because I'm making the most of my time online. I don't see the link between "uselessness" and "persistence".
Rest assured I'm trying to determine alignment with these questions. You have your ways and I have mine. Trying to get a feel of the people and the game mechanics, while at the same time establishing my presence here.
I don't like the general ambiance in this topic. Very long toes and very little goodwill/patience.
I have very little patience with newbs (although it was oddly recommended that I apply for IC status) unless I am mentoring them which is why I stay out of rome unless asked by a mod and I have zero patience or goodwill for someone who tries to dictate my play. you do not get to control the tone of this convo cos it is a 2 way street and there are 2 different people in it and we all have our ways. mafia is not all fluffy bunnies and roses if you want a site that likes that kind of shit in their mafia games I can recommend one.
okay so what serious discussion do you think was going on that I should have been responding to? tbh when this game started I had just had a margarita and was feeling pretty light hearted. I interacted with ap and he didn't seem nervous nor uncomfortable so I was leaning town on him. I pushed him a bit in order to solidify the read and I think his "why is mollie freaking out on me" post seems genuine. his reads and the logic for them are terribad IMO but terribad reads do not make him scum. he is unsure/ leaning town at the mo but I am expecting him to do some stuff before I call him town.In post 410, StrangerCoug wrote:
You don't get to post all fluff for six pages. In most games there is serious discussion by then, and I would expect posts to be made accordingly.In post 373, pirate mollie wrote:I want you to post which posts you find scummy and explain why. you don't just get to sit back and call all of my posts until p6 scummy unless you can think of a scum motivation for doing so. fluff posts are alignment neutral unless they persist throughout the game.
I never said it was irrelevant. where did you get that? I said I found it weird that groovey kid's read on me had not progressed. scum don't take in new info and assimilate it and work from there. they instead find flawed reasons for remaining sticky with their reads.In post 410, StrangerCoug wrote:
Though he should take later posts into consideration, as well, that does not make the early game irrelevant.In post 373, pirate mollie wrote:what is weird is that you read on me should have progressed as you got caught up with the game. and it hasn't. you are still scumreading me cos of early posts.

jesus fucking christ
majiffy, I love you but that was a completely fucking idiotic thing to do. I get that you didn't want to go along with the plan cos you want to play the game your way but that was shitty to put us for a lynch without discussing it with me first. we are supposed to be a team and we are supposed to work together totally did not do that.
@ amrun
majiffy did not agree with the plan and said so. so there is no "we had a consensus agreement on it" cos we didn't. there were a few who agreed to it but not everybody had weighed in on it. and majiffy is town. I would put money on it. I am telling you that he freakingchastisedme in gchat cos he thought I referenced an ongoing game <-----that reaction can only come from a town mindset. just cos he did not go along with the plan does not make him scum and if you have played close to a 100 games than you should know that by now. also since when did I become a scum read of yours cos this is the first time I have heard about it. why aren't you asking me questions or interacting with me?
@ coug
so you think I am scum but are voting majiffy? lol. your vote looks opportunistic as fuck and this is like the third time you have ticked my scumdar. I shot down your 410 case and you even conceded some points. I think you are scummier than grim and you are most likely going to be where vote lands.
@ groovy kid
plz don't take me not responding to every single point in your post personally. will it help you to know that I am add? I have the attention span of a housefly it is one of the reasons why don't even bother reading set up designs cos I lack the ability to maintain focus. I prefer it when people ust give me tl;dr versions of it.
you asked if I have a large toolbox as scum and the answer is yes. I am sure someone is going to meta stalk me at some point but it came up in the last game that I was scum in; I have had 44 non town roles. not all of them were scum but the overwhelming majority of them were. when this next batch of games have completed I will have played somewhere around 150 games. the vast majority of them have been on the 7 other sites I used to play on. so yes I have a tool set for playing scum.howeverthe format was different as was the duration of the day rounds (day rounds last from 12 to 24 hours) and so far the transition has not been very successful lol. it is much easier to maintain a town appearance for only 12 or 24 hours than to try to maintain it for 3 weeks. so far it has been lynch lynch lynch but I think I did pretty good in the last game I was scum in. wis was in that game.
re: sticky reads vs. trolleytracking - the difference is that being sticky with reads requires you to stick to the original reasons as to why you thought someone was scum and ignore new info while trolleytracking is taking in new info but interpreting it in scummy ways.
I am feeling a million times better about wis cos I had the same reaction to coug as he did. venny's response was meh and I don't know what to think about ap. I am not entirely sure about amrun's but I think I am still leaning town on her but it is a shakier read cos this whole mollie is scum has come out of nowhere and she isn't doing anything with it. elyse looked natural but coug's completely sucked donkey balls.whew!- pirate mollie

I was in the game and I even said what I was loosely doing but sorting majiffy was a priority.In post 482, Grimgroove wrote:@pirate_mollie: I feel we're starting to understand each other, but you still did not answer my question that I want answered most. Now that I'm starting to townread you it seems less relevant, but I want this thing covered nonetheless. Truth can be found in the smallest of things.
If I have any sticky read to speak of, it is because you never addressed the original reason why I find the explanation of the initial fluff you posted in a satisfactory way.
Let me re-iterate:
You have stated you post fluff for several reasons:
1. You sometimes use it as a strategy. (you didn't make it clear if that's what you were doing here, nor what the results of that strategy were)
2. You were waiting for your read on Majiffy.
I have tried discussing point 2 with you plenty of times but never got a straight answer. You explained why it is important for you to get a read on Majiffy (which I understand), but you didn't say why this automatically means that you can't get into the game before he arrives.
I don't know how to put this in any clearer way, aside from the bus metaphor. Is my question clear though?
I was in the game.
I told you I interacted with ap and he did not seem nervous or weird with his interactions with me. wis raised my hackles a bit. that is what I got out of my "fluff posting". all of this is in this thread.
I swear people don't read my fucking posts ever.
anyways I was hoping to talk to majiffy last night who will be mia until possibly tomorrow. BUT. he texted me and asked about the reactions and I told him that amrun voted him and then coug and his next response was "coug is scum" which is where I was at.
majiffy thinks amrun voted him out of spite and he said to tell you amrun to get your head out of your ass (his words not mine). he also said to think about the situ logically.
he also thinks that the dealio with grim is a playstyle issue.

elyse that doesn't even make sense. his posts are "terrible and scummy" but the only that bugs you about him is the qt thing? what about his terrible and scummy posts? his whole iso is crappy. vote him.
and where did everybody run off to I see people posting in other games but not this one. where is amrun she is the one who was all like "ack! ack! ack! don't end the day I am not throooooough!"whew!- pirate mollie
