Birdy: Getting to know your character as well can help both sides equally. Scum may find a way to play your emotions where as town may understand how you look at things. As an example, Shinigami likes things orderly and calculated, but can appreciate a huge gambit under the right circumstances. You seem to like being sure of what your doing. It looks like you plan your questions and answers, while keeping a decently open mind about the opposing side. Character and Standing should go hand in hand in this game when determining reads.
Dem being my target was more just to try and get him back and talking instead of disappearing again. (Also, sorry about that Dem. I looked over your big post and you did answer everything. Just a bit harder to tell from your formatting.)
I still believe you tried to turn my attention away but it may not have been intentional. You haven't shown anymore signs that you may be trying too so unless your scum getting the IC to proofread your posts, your not overly guilty of this.
As for the my questions/attack, yes they were light. It was meant only to catch-up on RVS questions i would have asked you had you not been a replacement. Your feeling of a deeper meaning behind them seems like paranoia to me. A normal townie wouldn't need to be paranoid because they know they are expendable. Defending themselves is one thing, but a townie whos being paranoid isn't a good townie. Power roles can be a bit paranoid as if they die the town takes a huge blow. So unless you have a power role, your coming off as a paranoid scum to me. (Note that this is different from a panicking Townie)
My method of defence changes as everyone hits me with varying degrees of pressure. I try to be adaptive to whos attacking and how so that i don't get over wellmed.
I am afraid you've left a very minimal impression on me with this argument. While you answered my questions, you did so softly. You call me paranoid. I call you afraid of stepping up to the plate. Your answers to my questions are evasive and vague, with minor contraditions. For instance, you say I have an open, but paranoid mind on the same. Those are two adjectives that do not lend themselves to one another. You're struggling to find a way to defend yourself and "adapt" as you call it, which I take as a negative sign.
You also say combine "questions" with the word "attack". A question is only an attack when it forces the one answering into an uncomfortable place. You held me at cookie-point, so I'm not sure where you are going with this. The only reason I became suspicious at all was due to the nature of the questions, as opposed to the questions asked. Your questions were soft enough to the point where they raised suspicions on the account that I felt they were too weak to have been asked by a townie.
I'm going to try to take some time and start the preparations a final arguement. Expect it before the fall of Night.
Birdy: In the previous BM, Shinigami and I were put in a difficult situation and guessed wrongly, and I would like to know what you would have done in the same one. It was MYLO, and there was a pair of doctor claims being made by the two scummiest players left in the game (who were voting each other). Both of them had been lurking, one was an IC, and was giving off very few reads, even when everyone else was pressuring him. the other was not an IC, and panicked when Shinigami and I switched our pressure over to him. how would you have resolved which one was the last scum?
I don't think I would have done much different in your place. I would have resolved the situation in the same way you guys did. For the sake of clarity, I am just going to use the names of the players while answering this question. Borno, the non-IC gave me suspicious vibes, which were tragically misplaced. Borno was desperate, and rightfully so being the real doctor.
There were only a few signs that pointed to Deathsword, the IC, which was covered up by Borno's arguements. For instance he completely disappeared and refused to give justification as to why. He also never produced anything terribly solid against Borno. If it weren't for the Last Day scramble, his arguments would have been passed off as paper thin.
The only thing you and Shingami could have done is to have deadlocked the vote, potentially cutting down the pool of players from 4 to 3 after the night kill, forcing Deathsword to justify himself, and giving Borno some air to breathe and calm down. That would have been the ideal answer to the situation, but it was also mutually understood the game had gone on long enough.
At the end of the day, I think I would have made the very same fatal errors that you both made.
That was sarcasm. I was saying that she was contradicting herself.
Himself*. I am actually a man.
