What did you think about the differences you noticed then, and how different does this game feel to you than the games you read?
I did notice the differences, but they didn't strike me as huge ones from the outside. Being
in the game, there's a decided difference. I've already explained what's different, so I won't repeat it.
as a townie he should assume that he does not need to say this, since he would have nothing to hide.
I never assume there's nothing to hide, especially when being asked specifically about my allegiances to town or scum.
Caz, Persus: do you find it often the case that claims of town alignment are typically scum-tells?
Put words into my mouth more, bro. My reasoning for my vote against makeinu is that his excuses are flimsy. You think scum isn't up to exaggerating irl issues to keep suspicion off them? I see people excusing their lack of coherent posts by lack of time, tiredness, whatever. Not all of them flip town. To be honest, making an excuse is almost admitting guilt.
Yeah I think Makeinu is scummy because of his constant town-claims, but I think that lying about RL in Mafia is poor form for scum and so tend to believe it when mentioned by people as an excuse. My opinion differs in that I tend to give some leeway to people who seem like they're scum D1 because its easy to mess up, especially if your not scum and not checking your posts for errors.
I had a stroke several months back.
Not the kind of news you expect to hear in your mid-40's, when you're active and healthy, but this was a very specific type of stroke that most typically strikes people fitting that exact description.
One of the medications I'm on, Coumadin, is a blood thinner and anti-clotting agent, and is very bio-reactive. Changing diet and other drugs can have very strange reactions, but it's necessary so the damage to my artery can heal.
Questions get information, information gives more chance of a scumtell (or lack of one) showing up, which helps find scum. I don't really understand the What if questions much myself, but they seem to help other people. What are your thoughts on the Max, Caz, Tiruin, and me debate?
I'm having a hard time separating my thalamic, lizard-brain, emotional gut responses from the logical analysis attempts. On the one hand, the lizard-brain is all "OMGUS U GUYS!!11!", and I know part of that stems from the accusations against me. I'm also still uncertain what questions it is that I haven't answered. I know that
some are not happy with the answers I've provided, but that's a different matter entirely.
On the other hand, the rational mammal-brain says
Max and
Caz are acting scummy. I'm not convinced of the genuineness of their replies and arguments with you and
Tiruin.
But how much of any of that comes from which brain, I am not comfortable saying yet.
As for "trying too hard", I'll simply point out that three of the four "town-claims"
Caz lists were in direct response to questions directed at me, if you go back and take them IN context, rather than OUT.
OOC: I have to add that I particularly like the quoting mechanism on this forum.
