Also freeformschooler, what were you thinking you would achieve by knowing someones role if you are a town?
In retrospect, I am sure I thought there was some advantage, but "protect" was not originally meant as a role-finding word. I hopped on the role-finding bandwagon when I thought "sure, I could achieve something with that!" but Vector corrected me.
However, I anticipated (and hoped for) two possible responses:
1) "Protect" would be taken as "if you're a town you'll try to protect the other townies" or something to that effect. Digging for scumtells (thus my scumtell addendum), though in hindsight that was a pretty weak effort.
2) "Protect" would be taken as a fluff question - similar to "what is your favorite class" - to hopefully get a clue to deadmeat's general motives and playstyle. Although now that I think about it, "what is your favorite class" was probably a rolefishing question too. Why did you ask that anyway?
Let me know if either of these are unrealistic.
I have two serious problems with this.
1. Your line of defense is your teammates? How the fuck do you know who your teammates are unless you are scum?
2. As Vector already pointed out, the meanmelter question is a role-fish, or fitting with the above problem. He could be scum and you've got each others backs so you're slipping and asking blatantly obvious questions that should be lest to scum chat. The latter is a tad of a WIFOM, but in the case of a noob it could be an easy scum tell.
1. Asking what my best line of defense is sounded like a scumtell-hunting fluff question, so I answered with more fluff.
2. Covered above. Thanks for the tip though.
Ok then I didn't read it as a fluff question, but if you did then answering it with fluff is acceptable.
Holy crap, a duo of crappy questions. Two and Three are hooked so obviously to be pointless.
Oh and yeah I have another question. anzki4, what's with the nonsense useless questions like "red or blue"? What are you expecting to gain out of these?
I am probably not gonna gain nothing for those crappy random questions, but ya never know before you try.
Did you completely miss the section about grammar being important? Talking like a hillbilly won't get you anywhere. Your answer to that is unsatisfactory, if you know they were crappy questions why did you ask them. Also how can they be random you had to think of them and as far as I know there is no such thing as a random question generator.
The second is a role-fish plain and simple.
Holy fuck a group rolefish directly after freeformschooler gets slammed on it.
Nope. Did you read the question, because I can faintly remember it saying "What is your favorite class?" You however, in case you didn't know it, cannot choose your class in this one. Which means that "favorite class" != "your class".
Being a smart-ass is not a good defense. Also just because it doesn't point towards your class, someone saying spy or soldier colors them as possibly having those classes, which muddies the water for scum hunters.
anzki4-Have you read any of the scum hunting guides or are you just winging it? And then what do you mean "if she would have chosen you to become a red spy as well"
"As well" was referring to the fact that lady luck chose him/her for random vote.
As for the other point, define "winging it."
Ok so you unvote after asking a SINGLE question to your initial RVS, and then (even though plenty of posting has occurred) you throw another random RVS out there with a question that would only result in a WIFOM answer? Knowing someones strategy if they were scum is a pointless thing.
Unless of course you have played with said person many many times and would already know how they act as scum. I assume you haven't played with Flintus enough to know him that well?
Seriously you don't know what 'winging it' means? Or are you being a smart ass again.
Either way here's a definition for winging it from Berretta English.com
To wing it is an idiom that means to improvise, to do something without proper preparation or time to rehearse. People often talk about winging it when they have to do something difficult that they didn’t have time to prepare — like a make speech or give a presentation. They might say something like "Sorry if I seem a bit disorganized, I’m totally winging it." You tell people that you’re winging it, that you’re improvising, so that they won’t expect too much from you, or so that they will be more forgiving if you make a mistake.
SO now answer the fucking question, are you winging it or have you actually bothered to read over any of the scum hunting guides?
anzki4 Is this implying you are a red spy?
You tell me.
I wasn't asking you if your actions imply you are a red spy. I was asking if that sentence implies you are a red spy. As for what I expected you to answer, I wanted a reason for that, which you did give. Adding on the retort "You tell me." is fucking pointless and just something you would want to say to bolster your ego.
A better comeback would be to actually ask a question with some merit.
