Re: Outing and Info Dropping

Here's my take:

Info-Dumping that doesn't make things 1000% certain is a-ok. If you didn't out yourself in the process, and it allows a certain degree of uncertainty, then you're okay. The reason this uncertainty is important to me is that if someone says, "Look, I know <Name> is bad!" and you are... it's often at a point in the game where you can't say anything to save yourself, where with that information, it's now painfully obvious that you are bad. This absolutely ruins the game. In addition, if that player has played a spotless game previously, they wonder why they bother to play in the first place if that's how it's gonna go.

If you can role check and you find someone bad. Find a reason to lynch them. Get at them. Don't hesitate. Don't reference your role check. I don't know about you guys, but back in the good ole days of Mafia (raises Mafia cane) this was just accepted. You didn't out people like that, and if you did, there was a stigma attached to it. This seems to have disappeared over the years.

I'm not okay with someone with a role-checking role, right after the Night Post going "Okay, we should lynch <<Name>> because they are bad." I have seen this lately. I also don't think people with civ BTSC should be painfully obvious about their BTSC. You can be cute in the chatroom.

In terms of referencing messages sent between players, I remember in the Hobbit, Llama and I communicated with a message, and very subtlety confirmed it in thread. I used a word/phrase he had sent me (or vice versa) to confirm.
