From what I gathered, you were saying, hypothetically, that the only way he could make things WORSE for town than they are now is if he was a power role and got himself NKed. You then made it clear that you did NOT want him to comment on it, because it was a hypothetical scenario and not a rolefish. In other words, he already IS hurting town as much as he possibly can, so he needs to start doing SOMETHING, because literally any course of action will be better.
Simple's first question, to me, appears to be "What did BD just do to catch your attention, and not in a good way?"
His second one seems to be saying that your statement:
Well, I can imagine one scenario. If you're a power role (and I'm going to request that you NOT comment on this possibility in any way), you might accidentally reveal yourself and get nightkilled, thus depriving the town of your ability. But you know what? You can't be a very good power role if you have no idea what's going on, and I've learned from this very game that it's a lot easier to tell what's going on if you're actively participating.
Is a roundabout rolefish in his eyes. He thinks you dismissing the possibility that he's a power role is designed purely to get him to claim a role; if it isn't why did you state that he can't be very good at playing a power role?
At least, that's what I've managed to get from all this.
Okay, well, assuming you're understanding Simple correctly...
The thing BD did to catch my attention was, uh,
this post. The one I was calling "one of the shittiest responses I have ever seen".
Im Sorry
I Thought That Was Obvious</gratuitous homestuck reference>
I only brought up the possibility of Bd being a power role because it was the only way I could imagine for him to "screw town over by accident" by posting. I dismissed it for two reasons:
1. It's statistically unlikely for any given person to be a power role, and whether or not Bd is one is not something I need or want to look into.
2. I think Bd is
scum, which would kinda contradict his being a power role.
As for the second question, yet again, I've said something that can be interpreted in more than one way, and in accordance with Finagle's Law, it was interpreted in the way I didn't mean.
The phrase
You can't be a very good power role if you have no idea what's going on
is not meant to accuse Bd of being a shitty power role.
It was meant to convey something along the lines of "a power role needs to know what is going on in order to be useful", and was an extension of the hypothetical situation where Bd is actually capable of screwing town over by accident.
... Did I miss anything? I feel like I missed something.
