While some people may have felt that way, there's a reason they ended up at "too scummy to be scum" instead of just "scum". It was because you never failed to fight for yourself, and you sounded authentic in the effort to do that. And that authenticity outweighed the suspicions people had of you for various little things.Dragomir wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 10:08 pmThe only reason for those lynches being avoided was that I viewed as a scummy town, someone too scummy to be a wolf. What's there to be proud of in there? All of my reads were wrong and I literally town read the entire mafia squad. Even Ultra I leaned more on civ than scum. Kept pushing for the wrong ppl, never voted for a single scum and my play was detrimental and a distraction to town.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 9:56 pmIt didn't go your way in the end, but you played a super respectable game my dude. You faced suspicion every phase of this game and you were never lynched. That's no easy feat, and you should be proud of it.
There is nothing respectable or to be proud of in my entire play this game.
It might not feel like it right now, but trust me: there's more to good town play than just making good reads. Indeed, many townies who make great reads don't actually contribute anything of substance because they don't pursue those reads with any effort. In my opinion, there are three core elements to playing a strong civilian game of Mafia (in no particular order):
1) Make good reads
2) Don't get lynched
3) Be a leader who promotes an environment conducive to productive hunting
You had a bad outing for #1. That happens to everyone. You nailed #2, and I think you were very much on target for #3. You did good things in this game.
