So she wouldn't, but she would.
And who's to say she didn't?
Hello I'm Mac and I'm not gonna listen to people who know what they are talking about
Fuck I am so sick of this narrative. Oh you all know better because you have played together for years. Guess I better just not try. How did that work out for the ts players when LC was scum in Talking Heads. Meta knowledge is weakness because it can be exploited. If you just roll the fucking arm over and play with assumptions what's the point. All it takes is for a vet to play off meta in a scum role to win. Idiocy.
Also how is your response at all relevent to my point?
OK...I feel like crap and I'm a bit drugged, so I'm just going to say what I'm thinking.
Dude--yes, you have a way of playing, but so do others. You are not better at the game than everyone else. Neither is anyone else. You do not have the corner on knowledge. Neither do we. But there is no reason to insult others for the way that they play. Or for relying on the information that they know. Stop being so condescending towards everyone else every time you don't agree with someone. Just say you disagree. It's not that hard.
You don't have to insult people or tell them that their way of thinking is wrong. It doesn't work that way. And it makes the game less fun.
Am I taking crazy pills or are you criticising me for what Typhoony just did to me.
Point out where I said:
1. I am better than others at the game.
2. I have the corner on knowledge.
3. I insulted others for the way they play.
Then I'll be happy to apologise for it. You cannot begin to understand how frustrating it is when so many arguments I make get argued by OTHER people "nah that's not how they plan when Mafia"...
Okay then if that's the case I'll just sit here and let you guys find the bad guys. What's the point of me even playing?
In this post alone, by calling others' comments idocy, number 3.
1 and 2 are implied by "meta knowledge is weakness."
I don't have the energy to go through other of your posts to find other examples. But they are rampant.
No, it's not. It's just a different category of knoweldge.
We can know about people we've been playing with for years because we know about their ethics--which is larger than game style. I know that there are some things that some players just won't do. Not because it's not their style, but because it's a personal rule that their integrity won't allow to be broken. By scoffing at that knowledge, you insult the way that others play.
And the point of playing is to put ideas out there and see what others think of the and come to conclusions. We all come up with ideas that are refuted. And sometimes we think things different from others. I don't see people insulting the way you play the game--just disagreeing with points at times. If theories that have holes in them based on other pieces of knowledge aren't refuted, then don't we all lose out because of incomplete information?
I'm not saying to not come up with ideas. I'm just saying to stop insulting other people and having an air of condescension in your posts. It makes it harder to want to read what you have to say.
linkitis: I'm not saying we shouldn't consider non-meta. But when someone brings up meta, it also shouldn't be thrown out and called idiocy.
