hector13:
So, the short answer would probably be "not long after someone put pressure on me".
Read: "I will pretend that I crack under pressure easily so that other players do not examine me too closely."
Or an honest description of what I think might happen.
It's easily tested of course.
You do seem to be trying quite hard to appear as town, UXLZ.
Not enough for me to want to vote for you, yet, but in saying that you are one vote away from having a majority against you. Perhaps you have concerns about another player you'd like to voice to convince me they're more likely to be scum than you?
This looks more like a scumbuddy trying to tell their partner to shape up. Could also possibly be scum trying to buddy mislynch bait to get towncred after a flip.
Definitely doesn't feel like town, though.
Given that my vote, which would be number 4 on UXLZ and would for all intents and purposes be a death knell for them (assuming, of course, no-one changed their vote) I wanted to get some information as a result of that threat. A target of opportunity, if you will.
Given, also, that I don't want them to defend themselves, as that would be entirely useless to the rest of the town, I wanted to know if they had suspicions on other players. The more information in the matrix, the better it is for the town.
Also noteworthy is that thus far hector13 is the only person to actually answer one of those questions rather than responding with 'You're talking/asking about scum? You must be scum!' Make of that what you will.
And a very interesting response to the coaching/buddying attempt from UXLZ.
You appear to be putting me in the role of coach, in that scenario. This is my first game, I've only read through a few beginner mafia games. I literally am learning on the fly here, man!
I don't really see where you're going with that one though. I was the only one to answer the questions (technically Dani did as well, but the answer wasn't very enlightening) to this point, why should that make me and UXLZ scumbuddies?
The entire point of questions is to garner answers and thus information. Given that we're in something of an information-sparse environment, far as I'm concerned, not answering/avoiding the question is quite scummy.
Oh snap, you didn't answer the question did you?
I would like to point out that DarkStar and Scripten, as the two most experience (I think) players in the game, do seem quick to either vote for or suspect UXLZ for trying to learn how to play.
And then we get this bit here from hector13, which is quite notable in that it directly conflicts with his earlier post in which HE is suspecting UXLZ. Playing both sides of the fence, hector13?
There are two scum, remember? UXLZ, at this point and in my opinion, is not in my top two of players that could be scum. It wasn't so much a defense of UXLZ, but rather an attempt for you (and DarkStar) to explain yourself.
You didn't, so I'll give you another opportunity to do so. Why so harsh on someone asking reasonable questions?It would be foolish, in the extreme, for UXLZ to ask questions on how to play as scum and then play as scum based on those answers in the same game.
This is true, but I was not suspecting him solely on that question. Still, you're rather defensive of him, aren't you?
Like I say, questioning you, rather than defending them. What else is making you suspect UXLZ?
