Why are so many people still on vanity wagons? I'm getting flashbacks to Lion King already. EoD is going to be a shit show.
When are you gonna actually make content that is designed to solve people as mafia as opposed to this kinda busy for busy sake stuff you keep pooping onto my thread?

Firstly, I haven't ever entertained that world.

Secondly, I don't need for the three of you to be mafia for one individual of you to be mafia.

Thirdly, you talk like there is something inherently illogical about that being the team that I should know. Might I remind everyone here that I'm not meticulously reading and analysing all the content for clues in this game. If you feel that there is something inherently illogical about that team being accurate please do tell me lol.
Urist made the wagon on me from a vanity wagon by tutuu that not even Carotte was voting on into a legitimate one and probably(?) influenced nanook to vote on it as well (do correct me if I am wrong about this nanook, your refusal to give clear explanations for your actions means that they're going to be misinterpreted sometimes). I don't think that's a W/W interaction. Like it's not something you should be holding at F3, but if you really think Urist is just omega obvious outed wolf you should be doubting your scumread on me to some extent given this interaction between us.

If you are town, think I am town and don't know what to do, objectively, empirically just sheep me on urist and make the game ez for yourself.

I'm right, urist is mafia, you get cred too ... how amaze

I have a "meh could be scum" read on you. Which is more because I've never played with town you. Have no idea what your scumrange is relative to your town range, and ergo cannot clear you off anything you've done so far.

Don't worry about my read on you. I'll solve you if you're town. Just play the game. You're not who I'll be pushing today unless someone in the game sends me the mafia playerlist and it has your name on it.

Like I get some vague pointing at how proto is saying something they disagree with or making pushes they don't like (despite him doing this every single game), or how Amy being voted produces "wagonomics" and I'm just incredibly unsatisfied with all of those answers. If you think you have better ones feel free to make them explicit to me
Allison I don't want to get into a two page back and forth with you like you did with Tutuu it's unproductive. If you're gonna unravel and make me answer to every accusation, gut read, random thought or random observation I make this game will end up sucking for you, me and anyone who reads it.
I don't understand why everyone in this game is so diametrically opposed to the act of justifying the actions they take tbh. I honestly feel like if you don't want to explain your thoughts and actions to others you should just pick a different game to play, because nobody can understand you if you do this and you're at best coasting along on tone or meta without actually trying to impart your thoughts on other players. In this case it wasn't even an offhand thought or whatever, it was literally your focal point for refuting my case on the Amy/proto voters, so if you genuinely feel like offering explanations for your reads is nitpicking or whatever then there's nothing I can do to really engage w/ you sorry

who is scumreading people for asking them to explain rationale?
I was referring to tutuu with that remark, since "Alison is nitpicky by asking me to explain myself and this fits her scum meta in Space Invaders" was a big part of her case against me

The rest of you don't necessarily scumread me for what I'm saying you just ignore or deflect my requests and you really aren't giving me anything to work with here

I did consider that maybe I was being extraordinarily inflexible or affected by cognitive bias in wanting people to play the same way I do but I also observed that I did not experience with problem with people like Carotte who I may strongly disagree with but who at least try to articulate their reasoning, and that historically I have not really had much of a problem with nanook's style of play in the past as long as he makes some effort to get across what he thinks and why to me. Unfortunately I don't see this happening here and while it's true that you can't all be scum you're also unsortable to me because you persist in sticking to your guns. I'm more than willing to accomodate playstyle differences and I think I've shown in past games that I don't just go off on anyone who plays differently to me but there has to be some attempt to engage with what I'm saying and thinking or there cannot be any communication

Also I think there's a nonzero chance that mafia is aware I'm annoyed by this and is intentionally trying to inflame me because stuff like the tutuu/me thunderdome is probably bad for the thread regardless of tutuu's alignment, which is why I'm choosing to just focus on more productive lines of engagement rather than beat my head uselessly against a brick wall

I don't really understand what's so scummy about my vote for TH but we'll shelve that aside.

I think my points about TH's scumminess are fairly straightforward and easy to understand. TH has been anti-town; TH knows they're anti-town and refuse to change. TH has voted a very easy/lazy push for bad reasons. TH ghosted the thread for a bit and then came back to defend themselves when I called them out. These are behaviors that are, in a vacuum, objectively scummy. Any one of them could be defensible (especially the anti-town bit if that's just their meta like people said) - but taken altogether, it paints a poor picture of TH. Whatever you think about me and my vote for TH, these are facts about TH's behavior that you can evaluate the truth of for yourself.

Also if it helps you understand my decision to ask you to sheep me on TH better, I simply figured that taking a vote from someone I know to be town and putting it on someone I heavily suspect of being scum is definitely a positive development.

i don't think you're behaving particularly out of character ftr and I have no real expectation that you'll go into minute detail about reasoning this game (this is why I'm not really scumreading you or directing the majority of my annoyance at you in particular). I was mostly saying that while I am flexible enough to accomodate/adapt to the playstyle of one nanook in most games I play, I don't think I'm ready to adapt to 5 nanooks in the same game, and that's what it felt like for a bit there

I don't really believe in taking that kind of thing too far into consideration. I found TH scummy for reasons X; reasons X still exist whether or not tutuu votes TH. What if I have a scumread on tutuu as well? Well, perhaps my scumread on tutuu is wrong. Perhaps tutuu is distancing from her buddy. I certainly don't intend to let the voting patterns of someone I think is scum sway me from voting based on objectively scummy behavior or following logic I think is sound.

This isn't to say that I completely ignore the actions of people I scumread, but if I start townclearing people I would ordinarily scumread simply because someone else I scumread is voting them, then not only does this give mafia an undesirable amount of control over my reads, it also creates a house of cards situation where if I'm wrong about tutuu I become wrong about everything else (because then I have no reason to clear TH, and any of the other people tutuu was voting, and the house of cards crumbles). This isn't really an absolute law but the long and short of it is that if I have a good reason to scumread someone another scummy player voting them won't change my mind because it does not change the reason.

Alison wrote: Thu Aug 13, 2020 12:08 am I think my points about TH's scumminess are fairly straightforward and easy to understand. TH has been anti-town; TH knows they're anti-town and refuse to change. TH has voted a very easy/lazy push for bad reasons. TH ghosted the thread for a bit and then came back to defend themselves when I called them out. These are behaviors that are, in a vacuum, objectively scummy. Any one of them could be defensible (especially the anti-town bit if that's just their meta like people said) - but taken altogether, it paints a poor picture of TH. Whatever you think about me and my vote for TH, these are facts about TH's behavior that you can evaluate the truth of for yourself.
meh, i'm more concerned about the vote on amy for "wagonomics" reasons followed by keeping the vote on amy despite the wagon evaporating.
Sure; my overall point is that there are objective reasons to scumread TH and you should not ignore or downplay those reasons just because I voted TH also.

(kinda like how I did not ignore or downplay my own reasons for voting TH just because tutuu voted them!)

I'm pretty okay with you finding my play scummy, Alison, but I'm not really okay with you arguing that my play is objectively scummy.

"Refuses to do anything to help town, only comes into thread to meme/defend themselves when called out, votes player who can't effectively defend herself for sketchy at best reasons and then leaves the vote on her" is like, a list of textbook scummy behavior. If this isn't objectively scummy then I don't know what is.

Give me a good interpretation of your behavior that shows me the town mentality coming from you.

I'm not good at being town, so I kinda just wing it. There's always one person who just totally hates it, but idk how to play any differently :smile:
