... Okay, then he didn't answer the question of "who are your current suspects," and I still think he's scum.
Problem: What you said was still completely relevant:
Referencing others' arguments without making your own is a problem. Saying I am scum town for no reason is also a problem. Quoting a wall with no other analysis is a problem.
Why did you abandon it to jump to "not answering questions, scum for that instead?"
That was supposed to be covered under the first part of that clause. You know, the "don't assume that one is town and the other scum" thing. "Don't assume we're different alignments. Don't even assume we're both town."
Stop bending my words. I can only think that you're more and more full of bullshit.
I will try to address the rest of your crap later.
I'm also curious why exactly you're so enraged at him. I've been meaning to reread your interactions, but if you'd like to present a clearer or simpler version, or just restate it again, please feel free.
@Webadict I never got to have a rvs, I don't know what questions to ask, I have never played this before, so now that I'm trying to question bd, without relying on others posts, and I get criticized.
You're not understanding the problem.
You can
use others' posts. You can look at them, read through them, quote them to prove a point, etc. There's nothing saying you can't use other people's posts.
What you
cannot do is throw someone else's post up, with no explanation, as an answer or accusation or something. It's like the difference between including quotes in an essay, and grabbing an essay and putting your name on it. Want to quote Sun Tzu in explaining why such-and-such is a good idea? That's fine. Want to hand someone a copy of The Art of War and claim it's your opinion? Not okay. There has to be
your clear reasoning in there, or it's not a real answer.
As for questions, you need to ask some that let you get inside Bd's head. And frankly, you should be focusing on more than just Bd- there's room to ask other people stuff too. Your questions, while potentially valid, aren't likely to dig very deep. Asking him for his scumpicks is fine. Asking him a broad question about subjective behavior is less good. Asking him why he's lurking is probably not going to do anything.
Instead, look for specific, concrete things. Instead of saying "who do you suspect," consider looking through his post history to see who he's said he suspects- and if/how much/why those opinions might have changed, or how seldom he mentioned who he suspected, or something like that. Instead of asking "why so defensive," look for specific examples and point them out. Those are concrete, individual things you can look at and ask him about, that might yield interesting insight as opposed to a halfassed list or claims that he's new or something.
@Flandre My current suspect is bdthemag, but the only things I have against him are his strange reactions to other people's scumhunting questions, and his lurkiness ever since.
@Bdthemag Who do you think the scum are? Why were you so defensive early on in this game? And why did you you disappear afterward?
I think the purpose of that interrogation you just sent out was more to reinforce your answer than to gather intel on Bd, Urist.
Good call. It's not necessarily true, but it's definitely the kind of distinction you need to watch out for.
this is my very first mafia game anywhere, ever, but I'm excited. I've been doing some reading and have read most of this thread already, but I'm posting from my phone at work. I will list my scumpicks and opening remarks and questions in a few hours when I get home.
Good, good. We look forward to it.
