borno:
Why have you decided to only ask Nerjin questions about asking everyone a question in RVS, even though I did it too?
Four reasons really: His questions feel more like he knows how to collect reads on people and is going about doing that efficiently so as I want to learn how to do it he'd be the person to ask. His question actually forced me to think for a minute or two and actually consider which I consider more powerful. And his hypothetical question was actually fun to play with in my head for ten or so minutes. Yours took maybe ten seconds to come up with an answer to.
Second, he's the IC so questions that are bordering on "how do I play this game" I feel are better asked to them. Although I will freely admit that this puts them in an easy place to hide if they're scum.
Third: Please take a moment and compare your eight questions to Nerjin's. Notice anything slightly different about the questions? That's right, Nerjin actually asked eight different questions. You on the other hand ask one question eight different ways. That's fine I'm sure; but it would help if that question could get you actual reads on people which I don't see as happening right now. (please note that your current case on me is based on my interaction with Nerjin, not you)
The fourth? Well that partly answers your next question.
Are you doing what you said earlier, attacking your scumpartner so that you look like you've distanced yourself from him?
Who are you referring to as my scumbuddy?
I'm seriously confused here. Your sentence reads like you're referring to me distancing myself from Nerjin. Because I'm asking him questions. Questions that, if I were using them to apply pressure, would be blatant softballling (which, yes, is an actual tell). This is the fourth reason why I'm asking Nerjin and not you: Nerjin has a reason to answer the questions in a way that I can learn from for future games, you would have a bloody good reason to think that I'm budding you for a lynch if I flip scum.
Why would you dismiss a case just because it was held by a scum? What if the scum were involved in attempting to distance each other, and arguing against the other? Wouldn't it be a good idea to be MORE careful when examining their cases rather than just lynching?
You would dismiss a case held by scum because the mafia aren't exactly a trustworthy source.
Two things: There is always the case to be made that scum have to play well, at our level they will be doing their best to be a townie. This means they will be doing proper scum hunting no? We also have what Ranger kindly pointed out, and that is that if their case is let off unsatisfactorily, then the person should be let into. Now yes both of these can be abused by scum, but to dismiss their cases without at least looking through them with the knowledge that they are scum is to do a disservice to the town as a scum hunter.
There is about 50/50 chance of mafia attacking their scumbuddy or a random person.
I'd like to take a moment to point out that that is WAY better odds than the rest of us have.
Sure, you could start up a new case against them, but it isn't good to use a proven mafia's case against someone.
Yes but looking through the mafia's cases is not a waste of time.
Remember Nuke in cult mafia? He did it except in reverse and got the guy lynched. I'd bet that if he were to be lynched before Daruish his case would of disappeared, and Daruish wouldn't have been lynched.
Before I call you an idiot for misreading the interations in that very interesting game I must point out that someone in that game disagreed with your case, and seems to have agreed with mine.
Nuke was asked to be prodded by NativeForeigner who was a townie. Meaning even as confirmed scum NF thought that Nuke would have something to add to the conversation.
Now that that's out of the way I must ask; why are you being such an idiot? You are reading the interactions in that game completely wrong, to the point where I'm sure you literally couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Nuke was acting VERY scummy, by that point everyone knew he was scum. He was also buddying Daruish like crazy which is why Daruish was lynched. NOT because Nuke created a decent case against him. OF COURSE Daruish would have still been lynched if Nuke flipped scum; for all intents and purposes he already had. The only reason Nuke was not lynched first was because the setup meant that killing the leader was the most important goal.
So I have a question for you: Why did you read me asking instructive questions to the IC as "distancing myself from him because he's obviously my scum partner"?
