Maybe! Maybe not. Maybe I'm the Bodyguard. Maybe I'm neither.
Telling you anything concrete only benefits scum. I'm not falling for it.
I know you're not the Bodyguard because I'm the Bodyguard, and you're the Commander.
My point still stands on this post - but I think I'll try to hold off on the aggressiveness - this play from the scumteam is just infuriating.
Aggression is an interesting component of mafia games. We're always reading the other players, aren't we? And it's typical to view an assertive, active, energetic, and case-pursuing player as town - though a good scum player can fake this, which is called power-wolfing.
Aggression is where frustration and assertiveness meet. And yeah, it can be a towntell. It shows you're invested. Just need to moderate it to within reasonable limits though, whether you're town or scum.
So, Blue. Who would your ideal team be? I know we're not at your pick yet, but it can't hurt to get your ideas out there.
Me, Jack, Jim, Vector, and either you or Knight.
I'm Town - I know this. Anyone who doesn't put themselves on the team they pick is fishy to me - end of story.
Jack and Jim both have shown themselves decent play - Jim hasn't joined/been forced into a powerbloc, staying back. Jack is being pocketed by the scumteam, but hasn't been pushing himself - honestly, I don't think he'd not sabotage D1, so he's cleared to me. Vector's shown themselves as decent townlean to me - I've not really focused on them past when they've been pushing Web, but they hold themselves soundly on arguments, and aren't trying to manipulate. Knight or you - honestly, I still don't know if you're scum. You're the third tacked on - but I could believe you were it, but one wouldn't hurt - but Knight seems fairly 'new guy shit out of depth', but he could be a sleeper.
This in particular rubs me slightly off as 'I'm sorry man, but we gotta just ignore/sacrifice you because there's no mafiachat'. That might be me just looking for a reason though.
Now - Tric isn't on the team. Two reasons for that;
One, I still hold a slight doubt - until I can confirm the third, I don't trust him entirely unless there's no other choice - he might be agreeing with me, but I won't be pocketed just because someone's on my side. I don't trust that in of itself, and Tric did start shady as heck.
Two, I can see the smear-campaign Web and Toony could go off on if 'oh its the whole scumteam together' or some blathering crap to get Jack and Knight - new or rusty players just getting back into things, being led along, to agree to FAIL the mission.
Web? Web is good at that. He is
really good at pointing fingers, making himself
sounding smart, putting
bullshit as fact in giant textwalls, making it seem like fact, and
repeating refuted arguments again and again to make it true, even if multiple people call them out on it. So, since
evidence means nothing and my
arguments and suggestions are ignored, I'm faced with the fact that they're pretty successfully convincing town of their intentions without anything to go for it.
The voting game was the most important aspect of finding Rebels, and you completely missed the point behind each vote.
I think the really funny thing is that I can't tell you what you missed because it would give away that the Commander really is ToonyMan.
I see I've been edited - I'm gonna reply to this in another post, because.. this requires another post.
