I had to skip 4 pages to get here. I’ll go back for those, but in the meantime: can someone tell me why we’re lynching Mac for doing Mac things??

Mac literally always proposes information lunches and lynching low posters. I’ve fought with him about it in multiple games. I hate the ideas, but I’ve learned with time that it’s how he wants to play and he’s not changing it. I’d be absolutely flabbergasted if it were alignment indicative in any way.

I honestly think the whole Mac thing traces back to Alien’s BS “scumslip” thing. I think the recent flips by others are taking advantage of the miasma that created and are factually based on just who Mac is. It reeks.

But that's why I said those tendencies are some you may be using.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 10:18 amand questions aren't just a tailored strategy for dampening my civ meta to be achievable as mafia, they're actually a useful tool for understanding shit.
That's true, but their intent is also easily faked. I don't think you would disagree with that.

i also don't care about your townie points, it's not important to be town-read until like day 3.
There aren't lynches on days 1 and 2?

I'm not sure what you want from me Kyle. You've said yourself that your meta is to be deliberately hard-to-read, so if you don't want to be looked upon as a suspect ... don't do that I guess?
I forgot I didn't respond to this post earlier. the issue I take with the points you're making here is that everything you say comes to the conclusion that you don't know how to read me and yet your conclusion is "we should lynch kyle." you didn't provide an actual reason to suspect me anywhere, at any point, other than the questions thing, which you admit knowing is semi-enforced NAI.

this is also the "townier than thou" post. the post where you went "what? not prioritizing being townread? that's unheard of. i would never do that cus im just such a town. your meta doesn't match the norm so i shouldn't be faulted for wanting to lynch you for it"
Again ... not true.

I ask a question of Kyle.
Kyle responds and I’m not satisfied with the answer. I continue to follow this lead. I feel how I felt watching you be scum in U-Pick, as you continue to distort my arguments, my position, and the words I’m using. Throw in some no u for good measure and accuse me of the same.

Maybe I’m crazy because nobody else reads this the same way ... but I don’t think so.

This is exactly how I feel about Alien haha. Only in my case, some people are kinda sorta listening.

Also @[mention]M Plus 7[/mention] to my post above.

I care 0% about that slip thing and indeed I had forgotten about it in every context apart from my concerns about alien -- not about Mac. Can you remember a specific instance when you have fought with Mac about this sort of thing?

No. But we’ve played probably no more than 4 games together previously, and we’ve fought about it in half or more of them. I think it was X-Men where I literally went after him for days on end over it. Turns out we were both good iirc

Posted: **Thu Aug 16, 2018 5:20 pm**

jay will consistently coerce me into contributing more early on. Sloonei does it too. They do it cus they're cyberbullies.

Jay's treatment of me doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me, unless he's consciously trying to reinforce a civ tendency he has.

Talking Heads - both mafia
Star Wars - Russ Jawa indy / Mac civilian
Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Russ civilian / Mac Nanman mafia

This wouldn't seem to point to whatever parallel MP was thinking of.

I'm not comfortable giving Kyle civilian credit for the content he has put in this thread. Apart from defending himself and making his typical alignment-neutral sillies, his relevant play has been very limited. We can play "that's Kyle being Kyle" all day, but I don't stand for that terrible mindset. It's exactly the mindset which deliberately pursues with the strategy he has openly employed for his duration on this website (the second time). He's approaching 100 posts, and I have certain expectations for 100 posts. There hasn't been anything that I can grab and say "okay, this is the civilian I have been looking for".
But his tone is pure AF, look at his back and forth with Colin this morning.

If you think that's scum Kyle I don't know what to say.

I feel like this is scum Jay autopilot hunting. Not town Jay trying to figure out whether someone is REALLY town or not hunting.

oh you were talking about something else

I already explained my logic on that. I switched back to Sprityo now anyway in hopes of surviving.

My lynch here is stupid. Seems like people just get off on the idea of nailing me as scum on day 1 these days or something. I've been my usual self and it will be the towns loss.

No, I don't believe MP is outside his range. I might be willing to believe that he believes he is outside his range. I might have felt differently a few weeks ago, but I have to adapt my perspectives for a guy who posted such an insane number of times in those two MU games (even if as a civilian). To put those numbers in perspective, I believe a four-digit post count in a game has only been achieved five times or so on this website (twice by me, once by Ricochet, once by Sloonei, and once by Golden). MP put up two grand twice in a row, and that means the baseline expectation needs to change some undefined amount.

I am definitely outside my range

I mean I guess maybe I’m really not but I haven’t had an opportunity to test that for sure yet still so as far as I’m aware I really think I couldn’t do this combination of EVERYTHING I’m doing here

She said like

She disliked Aliens post and liked mine

THEN she showed critical reassessment and called on us to stop the lynch

I don’t see why she does this as scum unless it’s some very strange plot where she and alien are both scum even then that seems like a stretch

It definitely seems like she’s genuinely trying to figure everyone out

I don't care about appealing to you. There are other players who don't have an erection at the thought of lynching me on day 1 that I am more likely to be able to plea to. Several of whom aren't voting me. You do you KOFM.
