FIXED REPOST
I know I'm town
DoomChild: Why do you feel like you need to state you're town?
Three reasons:
- It's true.
- I've seen it done in other games.
- I don't want anybody to accuse me of being mafia just because "you never said you were town!".
Saying "it's true" that you're town is as good as saying it's true that you're left handed. I have no way of verifying this.
In other games, I wouldn't trust the people who go "I'm town!" because there's no reason to say that. There's really no reason to say that, as a personal opinion.
I can't say I've
ever seen a game where someone went "well, I'm having a tough time here, but he never said he was town so he
must be mafia!
"Reading funny" is enough for you to want to lynch me? That seems to me like a knee-jerk OMGUS reaction to saying I had a gut-level suspicion about you.
I've been keeping an eye on you since you started only going after lurkers. And currently, your vote -is- on a lurker. While I have no issue with getting on lurkers' cases, it seems like it's all you've been doing, aside from attacking ATH for short posts. You've responded to Snow Dwarf, but didn't offer any questions in return. You haven't played the field at all, so to speak.
Also, I thought I did have my vote on you (I'm sure I did once), but
Doomchild, I really trust you less than anyone else here.
Eh reason I joined the forum was to try and make up for my sheer deficiency in my handwritting. I have trouble with spelling and grammar as well as punctuation a lot because of my dysgraphia which mainly impairs my handwriting but I've noticed it's impaired my punctuation and grammar as well because I couldn't read my own handwriting and as such I had a hard time learning those things though I have to say if you look at my earliest posts I've improved a lot!
Dysgraphia, huh? I have a cousin with that. Okay, just keep working on yourself, and I'll do my best to read your posts *nod* You're doing gr8
Vector: Same question. You, especially, should know this is a silly thing to say in mafia. Everyone's gonna play like they're town, there's no need to state it unless you feel like you need to defend yourself, especially this early. If you're town, you work under the fact that you're town and trust no one. If you're mafia, you work under the fact you need to -appear- town and thus act like you trust no one.
This is going to sound stupid, but I've lynched people over omitting it before (see things like ElephantParade objecting to the certainty that others thought he was scum, but not the allegation itself). They don't always flip scum, but it's one of those things. As a matter of policy, I feel like Mafia is a situation in which giving complete and literal answers is a good idea. As a matter of... everything else, well, it's true, so I said it.
Given, here's my counter. Vector has stated they've lynched over it. Which I find silly, personally. But to each their own method of hunting. Complete and literal answers are good ones, but ones with no basis in current fact, like stating one is a town, where lying is the best possible option here for the mafia, is a pretty poor indicator of actually being town I've felt. It's always fallen under "Trying Too Hard to Appear Town" to me. It's like, Hey! I'm a human too! Not an alien! let's do human things together like hunt aliens and divulge our human secrets to each other!
I just realized I had unvoted ATH, but never put my vote back on TinFoilTopHat.
You did. LurkerTracker keeps track of that pretty well. See EP's fixed link.
