Tiruin"Is that nobody can be trusted unless they can be trusted. Also, bring a tissue."
Which means no. While meta may be a persuasive factor, it depends when and where to use it. Situations like a causative basis would matter, perhaps. It all depends (but using meta solely as a case? Nup.)
That sounds reasonable.
'I see that a lot of the game is about showing to others why they should trust you.'
Oh FINALLY, You got my message in Mafia/Masons! :I
Hah, yeah, I know I've made mistakes but I'm trying to learn from them. Thanks for your continuing good advice.
Also, why're you asking about meta and all? How would that help you?
The ideal for RVS questions is to lay down traps to catch scum later. If someone answers to the questions in one way, they can be tripped up if they then later act in a contrary way. For instance, if you later used meta as the sole basis for a case, then we'd be able to call you out even more for it. There are lots of things I could have asked you and will yet ask you, but 'meta' seemed a good topic given that we are both coming to have a good idea of how the other person plays.
Imperial GuardsmanI can understand your enthusiasm; never let the grumpy guts get you down. Let's say you had an item that allowed you to Inspect the alignment of another player. Let's say there's two players you have in mind: one, you think is town and you'd like to be able to trust; the other, you think is more likely to be scum. Who would you use the inspect on?
Urist ImiknorrisAh, a fellow goo-lover.
All hail the Glorious Goo!
Which is more important: Showing how your target is scummy or showing how you're not?
Showing how your target is scummy is more important
by far. If you don't have a good case against someone else, you don't really have a good case in your favour. The other town folk will always think, 'If not him, then who?' To be honest, I think showing how you're not scummy is best done by not being scummy and allowing the town to see this for themselves. If you try to shove your town-alignment down everyone's throat, they'll be more likely to push back and think you're scum regardless.
Incidentally, I know this is the RVS, but you do realise that you're the third person to 'randomly' vote me (with none of them unvoting). How many votes would I need on me in the RVS before I start throwing around accusations of bandwagoning?
Freshdo you think it's better to pressure just one target at a time, or pursue multiple target simultaneously?
