TricMagicMy run specifically.
Icytea. I get it was just after, but one could pay attention. I'l forgive you, if only because I'm coming off a finishing post in Vengeful. And instincts are very useful in a social game, it's how you determine something is wrong with how things are worded. Or logic, but in that case I'll go with instinct until proper logic appears to fault that instinct.
Wait, you were calling
yourself scummy? That's my mistake, then. I'd still like you to try to follow up on those instincts, perhaps by asking a question which requires an alignment-specific answer?
VectorI mean, if you want my real answer? I'd go back and reread the thread until I had more information on you, the other guy, and the person who started the thunderdome. It depends on what Day it is. It depends on who else is dead and how much information each kill would provide, blah blah blah blah blah for me it's more about context than about any one person involved and without that context the question doesn't give viable information about my ge-new-eye-N thought process.
But you know that.
To be honest, I expected your answer to be along the lines of not wanting to say you'd shoot me to my face, or anyone's but a faceless "other guy". At the time I asked the original question, there was little to reread, little to make that contextual decision beyond what you know about me from the past. The question thus becomes "Do you trust me?" and "Would you dare to say to my face that you don't trust me?" Let's move this to another context: endgame: me you, and a faceless third person. Which is more important, what we say then, or what we said before then?
BluarianKnightIcyTea31 - Which person here would worry you the most of they were scum?
Definitely notquitethere. He's the type of player who's well capable of pulling a genealogical account of why I, my mother, and my mother's mother are all scum out of nowhere. Even though in that situation I'd know it was false, I'd have to do a similar amount of analysis and work to prove that to the other players.
IcyTea31 - His first questions had plenty that were, at least to me, too pointed and aggressive for scumhunting. Scumleaning.
First time I've been called scum for that,
BluarianKnight. How do you scumhunt without asking pointed and aggressive questions?
Web gives me the opposite vibes - something's off - the buddying thing is sort of similar
Which buddying thing? Surely not the part where I opened my game with a joking accusation?
juiceboxIcyTea: I plan on finding scum and lynching them D2 instead.
Let's assume there's good town play from other players and scum gets lynched on D1, but you can't quite take credit for it. Where do you start looking for scum on D2?
SecretdorfLuckyowl, you better be mafia this time.
4maskwolf is mafia, probably.
Tricmagic is mafia, too, probably. Because I don't see how claiming VT will help us. At least, mafia would have killed you instead of a PR. And you say we should waste a track on you?
Webadict is mafia, too, probably.
Toonyman is mafia, too, probably.
Toaster is town, probably.
Icytea is mafia, too, probably.
Wanna narrow that down a bit? Surely there aren't 6 scum in a 13-player game, especially one with a claimed third party?
Jim GroovesterThe smart answer is that I would pick people who would help me win but the answer I am going to give is the people who would be funnest to have on my team.
Names, Jim. Who would it be funniest to have on your team?
webadictPretty good conrent so far.
Feels kinda eh-y, but... I dunno, call it intuition.
Is my content "pretty good" or "kinda eh-y"?
General reads:
Webadict and Vector's spat seems genuine, probably not both scum.
This isn't quite how TricMagic has acted in the past when unenthusiastic about their role, though it is better performance than expected. Possibilities range up to being coached by a scumbuddy, but I'm willing to count it as genuinely improved town play for now.
4maskwolf's survivor claim, if false, is more likely jester than mafia at this point. Trusting for now, since there's a promise of no jesters.
Jim Groovester's opening post matches my thoughts pretty well. The single post leans town, but I'll want more.
