This isn't a 19-man face-to-face conversation. It's a message-board thread.
Please don't avoid my questions Titus. It's making me feel uncomfortable about your alignment.
1)You said that someone voting you means that person is scumreading you.
2)I say that's not necessarily true, because it isn't.
3)Instead of responding to my point you ask me why I'm interrupting you.

See I don't really agree with that, and I say that with all the respect in the world. I've seen players vote other people they didn't necessarily Sumread just to see what their reaction would be. Heck, I've done that in the past. So knowing that when you say voting someone means you Scumread the person I have to say 'wait, that's not true, and here's why.'In post 134, Titus wrote:In post 129, Wake1 wrote:This isn't a 19-man face-to-face conversation.

Yeah, a vote at this point is a scumread from someone actively following along, or it's someone who has no desire to sort the thread, which is a scumclaim. Your vote says "I want this person removed from the game".
You're being semantic and interrupting my questioning trying to sort Almost and trying to play semantic games while interpreting someone else's read rather than letting them speak for themselves.
I feel like you're inappropriately attaching meanings to actions and, well, if you're Town Town wouldn't do that. It's not true that a vote on someone at this point is a Scumread from someone actively following along. It's not automatically true. But you also change the meaning mid-sentence by saying OR the vote's from someone who has no desire to sort the thread. Which is it, and why must it be either? And then you attach a further meaning onto the second option by saying it must be a Scumclaim. I'm sorry but you're not being logically accurate, and at this point I'm trying to understand if it's just honest mistakes or something more deliberate. Whatever the case this needs to be sorted out immediately.
It also looks like you're attaching yet another meaning to that vote, that the voter wants someone removed from the game. You can't assume that. Not if you're honest. The person casting the vote could also be looking for reactions.
What you mistake for semantics is me trying to pin down exactly what you're trying to say (and what you mean), and wanting you to slow down and clarify your ungrounded assumptions. I have the right to question you whenever I want so long as the Day is open, and so does everyone else to anyone else. I have zero reason to wait until you and he are done exchanging, because you can easily see my post in the feed and respond back eventually. It's not even something to argue about, and instead tells me it's a distraction to try and get me off you with my questions.
Will you please acknowledge that someone voting youdoes notnecessarily mean they're Scumreading you?
I'm a threat in general because I can hit very hard and be thoroughly provocative at a whim, depending on what's going on in my personal life.In post 135, Almost50 wrote:

My preliminary conclusion (and this is probably carved on water or sand at best) is that some players consider you a threat in this game. If they're town they're afraid of scum!you. If they're scum they're afraid of town!you.
Ok.. I've just ISO'd podoq, and I don't see why he called you that even before you posted when he said he didn't know you. The key here is whether he said that with tongue-in-cheek (i.e. you're actually friends), or if it came out of nowhere. Care to share?
I don't know podo at all, so I thought it strange the way he behaved. He could be an alt.- Wake1

How does your exactly comment reconcile scumslips?
Most scumslips are garbage anyways. I've literally only ever seen two, and neither was really a real scumslip anyways. I've never seen one that someone "found" actually turn out to be scum.
Do you think that most things people say in this game are not calculated?
In my experience there have been plenty of times where Scum say things that are questionable, leading them to be unraveled Days later. It's inevitable.
People like to believe they are calculating. Some more than others.- Wake1

We're arguing over semantics here. Obviously nobody says anything without meaning to say it, but at the same time people can make mistakes when doing so. I don't thin this is relevant.
We agree in that people generally post what they mean but can also slip or make mistakes.
What's your current take on Zach? He posts frequently.

~WILLING TO LYNCH~
—DunnstralDunnstral said Titus is Town in 780, to which I said in 785 she can't know that because it's only Day 1—that it wasn't obvious—and that I'm assuming Dunnstral knows that Titus is a skilled player who can emulate her meta. Meaning it can't be obvious because Scum-Titus knows exactly how to look like Town-Titus. Being non-linear, Dunnstrail in 805 then says I implied she wasn't skilled, which is false. It being false, I don't know if she's genuinely mistaken or trying to twist my words—the latter being far more serious. Asked her to clarify in 818. In 822 she says she knew what I was talking about Titus, and I checked her again in 833 due to her lack of consistency. Again in 837 she's pushing the falsehood, because no such implication was made unless there was a misunderstanding.When 'skilled' was mentioned, it was regarding Titus, not Dunnstral. The latter doesn't/won't acknowledge it for unknown reasons.- Wake1

First, you can go on the record saying you've never pulled a Mason gambit.In post 893, Titus wrote:Wake can be vigged. At this point, I have zero desire to rehabilitate Wake (assuming he's town which he may not be) or to get in a long drawn out fight as to why masons are town. Wake's tunnelling on a mason claim based on something that "could be a misunderstanding."
Second, it sounds like you're saying both you and Dunnstral are Masons.
Third, no one is confirmed unless by the game moderator.- Wake1

I question why a claimed Mason would be like 'whatever' if their partner got lynched.

Town has been known to fake-claim Mason status.

If this is Scum-Titus, it's very subtle Scum-Titus. Looking past the ironic illiteracy I see Scum-Titus very cautiously trying trying to get a dig in... in hopes of stirring division. Town-Titus I doubt would try to miscontrue 'dumb' as something other than a personal attack, while at the same time trying to play the 'feelings angle' to try and rile someone up. She did something similar in that Gundam game where she was Scum but played peace-maker yet tried to sow little seeds of discontent. At the moment I feel comfortable with this not for her words but for her subtle behavior.In post 939, Titus wrote:If you consider dumb a personal attack, maybe you should stop being dumb.
Dumb also is not a personal attack. If someone is being dumb, should we have a special word so you're feelings don't get hurt when you are indeed being dumb?

Titus you're both experienced and have claimed a PR, from here whenever you vote I'm hitching myself to your wagon, unless I get better info myself.UNVOTE: Titus
Finally, something interesting.
This shannon player is voting me because I'm pushing you Titus... because that's it. Now she says she's going to hitch herself to your wagon whenever you vote because you're a claimed PR. And Transcend just goes with it, no reason need apply.
Varsoon,Mirhawk,Zach,Lapsa,Implosion,Dunnstral,Titus: This is a serious move. One that needs to be explained. Please, if you would, share your thoughts on this.- Wake1

This reads to me like you want the theoretical PR to not look in your direction.- Wake1

Personally, regarding my playstyle, I think it's healthy to literally question everything. Unless it's mod-confirmed. Where other players don't question, I do. It can be grating and abrasive, I know, but I'm a bit more cynical, paranoid, and curious. Hitting hard with these questions Day 1, in my experience, always makes the next Days easier, because if you can get players really talking early on you can go back in the past and see if their current words and actions mesh with their past words. We have literally nothing to go on Day 1 so it makes sense to spur discussion and reactions, even if it's not pleasant.- Wake1

Could you talk more, please? You don't seem very receptive, and if you disagree with me I'd rather you say so with more of an explanation, rather than short, dismissive sentences. I'd like you to engage with me on this civilly. Talk with me about not only this but the other post about Transcend and shannon. Open up and share with me what you really think. Where am I going wrong and why? I have zero problem with criticism so long as it's not personal. If you agree with me on something please share it and we can work on that.

I guess we just disagree as a matter of philosophy then. I usually try to question and weigh everything until I fully understand it, even if it's really small and unnoticeable. You have a point about the Mason thing eventually revealing itself... but I do feel it's always going to be fair game to question. Sometimes it feels like players try to pull me back from latching onto something and prying it open for answers, when my job in this game is to literally figure out and solve this game.In post 986, implosion wrote:
Idk what you mean, it's pretty straightforward... pushing Titus after the mason claim is, on face, completely pointless. Not everyone follows the philosophy of "question literally everything"; I, for example, would claim that there are far too many things happening in a typical game of mafia to question them all without having a disheveled, impossible-to-follow game. Especially with something like a masonry claim, which is something that will conveniently sort itself out over nights when the masons die, and if they don't, then the question can be addressed later.Wake wrote:This is a serious move. One that needs to be explained. Please, if you would, share your thoughts on this.
I am willing to see shannon as scum for the jump, potentially. I think that kind of taking things at face value that would lead to thinking that someone is scummy for continuing to push the masons is characteristic of how I would play as scum when I was fairly new to the site. But I don't think it's particularly strong.
Also, in most cases, it is in the town's interest to have investigative PRs hitting scum... guilties are much more useful than innocents. It depends on the investigative PR but etc.
Would you be willing to vote shannon with me? Doesn't mean you'd have to lock your vote down, but at least for awhile unless something better stick its head out?
The problem about the PR issue is that the rest of us don't know if shannon is Town. Point being this individual is not wanting to be investigated. Us not knowing who/what she is, to other Town players it looks suspicious. From her perspective, IF she were Town, she'd either A) want to be cleared or B) want it be used elsewhere. But as Scum she'd A) NOT want it on her, B) want it elsewhere, or C) want it on her if and only if she were a Godfather (slight possibility [only invoking Setup spec for the sake of this topic]).- Wake1

therefore scum parties tend to duel late D1 to get upper hand
from town perspective - players seems more segregated than usual
it is peculiar that no wagon has received critical mass.
normally there would have been few L-1 already

—AGarMentionsTitusis hilariously wrong about something (561), and thatPerformeris a Scumbag. Opines thatTitusis 'Scum as shit.' Doesn't appear to believeTitusis a Mason, either.I get he doesn't like my play, but that doesn't make him Town or Scum. I'd like him to clarify what exactly Titus was wrong about. Him questioning Titus and her claim makes me feel a little better about him.

As I've been allowed in the past, I've used old PTs of mine that only I have access to to gather my thoughts, collect ISOs, and update my Reads List.In post 1062, podoboq wrote:OK, I'm gonna go out a huge limb here. Please somebody with significantly more site experience than I look into this.
In Secret Alt Mafia 2, Joey Tribbiani scumslipped by accidentally linking to the Mafia PT. When people clicked the link, they got an error screen that says "You are not authorised to read this topic." This happened because he prepared his wall inside of the Mafia PT, and when he typed (post)74(/post), it linked to the thread he typed it in, not the main thread, where the post he intended to reference lied.
Now it's possible that I'm misunderstanding some of how that works, because I only vaguely know this story from TPP talking about it in Musical Mafia, but I'm seeing the same symptoms of it here. If I'm wrong here, and this is nothing, then sorry I brought it up, we can move on. But if I'm right, and this is the same thing, it's just straight up a scumslip. Like, a real one.
Wake posted a similarly broken url, which leads to a topic I don't have access to:Here is the slip from Secret Alt Mafia 2. Scroll down to read the explanation of how it's a slip.
Again, apologies if I'm misunderstanding something and this is all nothing.
Apparently my Reads List contained a link to that hidden PT. I can't make a new PT, but I can use an old one from my old Large Normal.- Wake1

But be wise and don't assume I'm Town just bcause of this. I could still be Scum utilizing a PT thread to collect/gather his thoughts. Always be on your guard.In post 1073, podoboq wrote:Actually better yet, real confirmation that Wake is telling the truth:
Post numbers are sorted chronologically. Post 0 in this game is 8019556, but the post that Wake's link directs to is 671742, which has to be far before the mafia PT was created.
Sorry Wake. I'm gonna go be sad in a corner somewhere.
