Hi

I'm aware of the game I signed up for (see: bastard) but I've had my fill of trying to outpace the scum by maintaining high post count. Do not expect that of me and we'll get along.

I'm going to try and ignore most claims because they're not provable. Doesn't matter if you claim whatever Dwlee did it's bastard and anything goes. Radical claiming they know dwlee is town because aforementioned reasons is white noise to me. As it stands, I'm not getting a feel for what people want because it's mostly revolved around the setup itself. I think it should be treated as secondary at best. My reasoning is on the fact (I believe I've said this before, so if you've been in a game with me prepare to hear the same spiel!) mechanical play is very easy to hide behind and talk about.

For context, I just lost a recent game (Bloodstained) where I had scum in my crosshairs. Town got distracted by mechanical proceedings and it ended up with me being treated as an enemy of the state for wanting to do my fucking job. Two slots got close to cleared and we let ourselves get blindsided. Titus was in that game and can attest to my claims. In short-- Let's not do that again.

I actually missed that you were voting in tandem with A50.

Do you have any independent leanings? I don't mind the attempts to give out reads, I would read most of those as well-meaning as I'm pretty sure the lack of anything is just nervous scum

Probably says more about what type of team we're dealing with

@unwnd - it's really nitpicky of me, but the wordiness at times strikes me as fluff/over-deliberation. It could literally just be the way you write
I like to write. I like to express myself and Mafia is a good compartment to try and deliver my thoughts in interesting ways. However, the game is more shallow than a kiddie pool right now. I looked at this game, saw it was a large theme and thought we'd be at 1000 posts in 2 days because that's how things goes these days.

To my surprise, we are instead not anywhere close. My initial claims were self-serving observations that were meant to try and get the game going. And believe me, I don't mind a slow pace, but the play that is going on isn't necessarily methodical or anything to dig into. That being said, you putting some degree of effort (even if it's just quoting my posts) is...fine. Yet I want to get past just feeling fine or feeling 'meh' about multiple things and that just isn't happening.

Do you think I as scum would want to give myself attention in a stagnant game?

You didn't answer me on this unwnd.
Gut feelings. I have other people I'm side-eyeing but if the content to post ratio is not balanced, I usually just go on reading tone, which I felt his tone wasn't too great in the posts he made. The line that went something like 'We need to catch mafia' stuck out to me because it's a common goal yet the need to say something so obvious felt misplaced. Everyone who's town knows what the wincon is so him trying to seem helpful!! didn't set right with me.

It's gonna be me again to lead isn't it? Sigh

It's to get people to open up. Maybe I should give myself more credit to myself because when I finally put myself out there, I am getting things to latch onto. I don't understand why are you phrasing two scenarios to me though if you only believe in one existing right now

You could say the same for me. Hell, you could say the same for a lot of people. Thought processes become more differential the more you put into them. On one hand, I am appreciative that you tried to put something together. On another, I don't understand how it all came together in your mind and I simply had to be the scum you've been sitting on your hands waiting for.

Mara wagon was going nowhere, you and I both know this. Voting Mara at this rate is practically saying 'I have no opinion' which as the counter ticks down on the days is bad. I'm biased about what's going on because I happen to be in the middle of it, but I maintain what I said about you. If I am scum then Aristo must be town yeah?

I also find it interesting

I have two people I would shoot right now, but I don't really want to say it. I think even though my vote is on Aristo, I would spare a bullet as (admittedly), it's not as fleshed out

Her posts made in lieu of sheeping and her voting patterns bothered me. She has fun happy energy but uses it cautiously. If she were just excited wants a good time villager she wouldn't need to justify herself on the occasions that she did, and we'd probably see more of her.
