I actually agree with this. merk pretends to be outraged because I revealed my masonry, as if he knows for a fact that this is a bad thing (which he doesn't-- unless he has information that I don't).

You revealed your masonry as if you have information that it WON'T hurt in ways beyond "my partner's used his dayvig".

Why would it matter that he's used his dayvig or not? Say he didn't. Why would revealing the masonry before that point be dangerous, but afterward it wouldn't?

You seem to be making a LOT of assumptions here.

The thing for me is that a masonry is a place I like to bounce ideas off somebody knowing that they might not be fully-developed. If I have somebody I'm pretty sure is town, that's like best-case scenario for me since I can just throw out whatever without expecting them to try to twist it around.

I don't get it. I'm sure the warning in the OP is about revealing to the thread who your mason partner is. Pretty sure Cpig already knew he was your masonbro.

Also I could have believed Peta was your masonbro before you confirmed it was cpig

Juanito: Either you are proposing that Opop is misleading us when he recommends against revealing masonries, or you have information that confirms there's no risk to you revealing it, or else you are simply playing in an anti-town manner (a quality which you're making GBS threads on your mason partner for having, ironically).

Think about it. All masonries are unconfirmed, nobody knows their partner's role, so theoretically there's no apparent risk in revealing masonries. However, Opop advised against it. That is the information we have to act on. So what information do you have that I don't that says it's just fine to ignore the mod's advice?

Also: Not a fan of preemptively dismissing a mason partner. It smacks of excuse-making to avoid putting yourself out there in private comms.

Opop says "may not".. so there is only the possibility. It's a gamble I was willing to take.

I think that if merk isn't willing to play in good faith, that he is a detriment to this game. I don't think town would behave in such a fashion, especially not someone as experienced as merk. Even his argumentation on Juanito seems poorly formed, focused on a single point, and it seems unclear whether or not merk really thinks Juanito is scum.

There is no frustration, outrage, or any negative reaction to what you did emotionally for me. I think you're scum for it. It's that simple.

When I made my vote, I just had an inkling that what you did was scummy. Your reactions, however, sealed the deal. You have completely disregarded what the Op says about not revealing masonry to try to justify your initial position. You reacted rather than tried to think about the situation critically. It looks fake. It looks like you're scum.

Look at how it went down:

I can't complain, at least he didn't shoot his mason partner

My PM doesn't give me any reason to be concerned. I take risks. :rolleyes:

I don't know how to do nested quotes for the last post. Read that in context. Look at his reaction to my initial vote. He has no idea why he outed his mason partner. There is no critical thought into what is happening. He's scrambling to try to explain away what he just did and my vote with it.

That is how scum play. That is the fake content you would expect from a scum player.

Where is the abrasiveness? Where is the outrage? All I did was find and vote a scum player.

You seem to want to paint words with as much negative connotation as possible over a pretty simple case to try to discredit it rather than look at what actually happened.

This guy is clearly scum play, folks. I don't know how else to convey it.

Confirm.

Just caught up. I'm torn, because this behavior from CPig feels really scummy, but giving a Scum vig powers seems incredibly unbalanced. I have to assume he's town, just because the alternative is terrifying.

The Juanito/merk slapfight isn't looking good for either side, but I'm kind of used to this behavior from merk. Sitting on my vote for now.
