I agree that cases based solely on meta are bad but knowing how other players usually post is helpful imo, in that you can tell when something's off so you know to look closer at their behaviour

That's just how I look at it though

Meta cases become worse than useless if the person is aware enough of meta to post against it, tho.

But posting against your meta is unnatural and consumes energy. It's like cloaking, and when they run out of energy they'll become visible again. Happens all the time.

I disagree, but now we're arguing about making meta arguments and that's an even bigger waste of time imo. What do you think of the cases on the table so far?

My hot takes on Auspol for the foreigners:

  • Bifauxnen as either alignment will be highly analytical, also tends to get drawn into arguments which go nowhere with players not in this game. Takes a kind of spiteful tone when under pressure as scum.

  • Hiip has earned honorary status by persisting through a couple of xenophobic policy lynches. Doesn't post much regardless of alignment but fun to have around.

  • iajanus might not know how action tags work ;)

  • Kat tends to be a combative town and more calm as scum.

  • I don't think I've seen Kommando as scum, but he can be hard to understand.

  • MMG is behaving similarly to D1 of my just finished game where he was town, which is why I'm not voting him

  • thatbastardken might move around a lot and take some different positions. As town he won't worry about it, as scum he might paint himself into a corner.

  • My scum tells that I recognise are hovering over a thread and not getting stuck in because I'm watching my words, and not interacting with scumbros.

bowmore and f_v I think you might have played with? Also f_v eats babies.

Day one slips are only really noticeable in hindsight. people leak like crazy but i dont know why D1 had to be two days long. It always comes down to the wire anyway and in the last half hour the thread turbos someone random.

I'd already forgot about it cause it was way back on like page 3 and it totally wasn't a scumslip. But Exakt being all "whoah it's a scumslip" was a good joke at the time, that SSV seemed to take real serious.

Uh it wasn't a theory it was a joke

The bait was the overly long-winded joke explanation which would be a perfect time for someone opportunistic to swoop in all "gee Bif sounds weird"
