what kind of question is that to ask the best mafia player in the game, mocco ravo, if not the whole community?? it is a foolish question and were you not australian that is were you not of the large island continent known colloquially as "the Down Under" I would suspect you were a fool, but because you are from that island continent I know that it is in your culture to be foolish due to your inhospitable climate and criminal ancestry!

obviously it is possible we are both town but that could be the case for any case ever made in a mafia game, but is there something about the substance of my case or his defense that suggests we are both town? because if there is not or if you are unwilling to say as such then perhaps this question would be best left unsaid in the entirety that is this question has wasted my time and yours because it is one without substance!!!

that is another false interpretation of my case against TMM! and by false I mean that it is not true, that is there are true interpretations and that is an untrue one, and by interpretations I really mean just one interpretation, singular, without plural, because my posts are very clear and there can only be one way to reasonably interpret them, and you have chosen a way that is not the correct one, it is incorrect, and therefore it is false!

I'm actually Scottish, I just live in Australia, for now.

As for your question, it just seemed to be a possibility, you're both relatively earnest in your defence / offence, and I can understand his argument, and I can understand yours (even though yours seemed a little forced, it looks like you're probably doing it not through any particular belief that he's scum, but as a way to force conversation?)

while I appreciate the politeness in your request, that is to say you have asked something of me with the appropriate formalities associated with good breeding in such a way that suggests my previous assertion as to your nationality was erroneous, and ordinarily when one uses such polite terms one is inclined to assent to the request unless the request is unreasonable or impossible to be performed, I must just as politely decline the request, since the manner of posting in which I am engaging must be seen until its better end, that is to say I will continue to speak in this way until the game reaches its end or until I am removed from the game, which though the game would continue, barring some unforeseen ability for removed players to return to the game at a later date, it would from my perspective be as if the game had ceased to be since I would no longer be a part of it as a consequence of being removed from it.

I could totally understand why someone would post going to a movie in jokephase. The thread was mostly idle chat anyways. Now with all this discussion flying around, if someone did the same thing, I think the context would be different and it would look quite a bit scummier.

I played up until before The Taken King came out, then quit because 1. It was around the time my youngest was born and I didn't have time and 2. The whole Red Bull DLC scheme really pissed me off which is appropriate because red bull tastes like piss.

luckily that is but one point in my case against TMM, and though all cases are ultimately matters of interpretation, that is they come down to judgment over how they are to appear and what would be more likely to be done by scum or by town, and though I obviously disagree that it is not a valid point against him since I created the case and I would not have done so if I did not believe in what I was saying, I ask how you feel about my other two points, because those points have also been developed and discussed by me, Mocco Ravo, and I would appreciate your input on them not only so that I can shore up any weaknesses you find in those points but also because it lets me and others hear your own thoughts and determine the sincerity of them which helps us and yourself as well in a reciprocal way, unless you are scum in which case it only helps us and not you!

Sure Ecco. Both your first and second points refer to this post:

TMMadman posted:

Alright, for a serious case, I don't really like Ecco's posting. While it isn't impossible to read, the style just makes my eyes want to glaze over it. I don't really think gimmick posting is very helpful past jokephase, so I hope Ecco doesn't plan on doing it for the full game.

Also, this post doesn't sit right with me because MMT is responding to my post about how there are no joke votes with a vote that I think is obviously a joke vote, so I don't know why Ecco feels the need to try and clarify it.

Your first point regards how criticizing your PR avoids attacking the substance of your posts. He clearly read your posts and pointed out something he found scummy, and his reasoning re: your pr reads genuine to me.

Your second point about misrepresenting you I don't really get. I thought your post was weird too, because MMT made a very clear joke post.

- it does not matter if MMT's post is a joke or not, again you mischaracterize my point against you! what matters is that you presented MMT's vote on you falsely in order to incriminate me further, that is to say you fabricated evidence in order to construct a case against me, which is scummy not only because I am town and obviously so but because it was just as obvious why MMT was voting for you whether a joke or sincerely!

repeat: the substance of MMT's vote was responding to TMM asking for the jokevote phase in this game to be long and robust. it was presented as a joke due to the presence of emoticons, but the underlying substance upon which she voted was legitimate because wanting a robust jokevote phase is inherently scummy, and so I asked her if it was a joke or if it was serious.

that is irrelevant to my point against TMM regarding that vote, because TMM presented MMT's vote as "she voted for me because I said there were no jokevotes" when she did nothing of the sort and that can be clearly seen from placing her vote after quoting TMM saying that he wanted a more robust jokevote phase, which again is scummy.

because TMM manufactured the reason why MMT voted for him, it read to me that he was faking content this game, which has been the thrust of my case against him this whole time!

Hmm. Rereading that exchange between the two of them I guess I agree that TMM is stretching an interpretation, but I don't find it an intentional misrepresentation. I mean, it could be I suppose, but when I first read MMT's wordless emoticon vote I also thought it was a jokevote riffing on TMM talking about jokephase. So if anything you read far more into it than I did, which explains why you asked her!

So, I guess I'll say this. When I originally read MMT's post, I was more in line with TMM that it was a jokevote (but not as far as you say he went with that interpretation). So I found your post asking MMT weird. But now that you've cleared up your read I find both your reads genuine.

it is called inference. you are correct in that I overstated how you felt about my posting, however many others said that my posting was clear to them, including our Dear Leader, and so I thought your assessment of my posting was as well. that was a mistake on my part and I humbly apologize, that is I would be humbly apologizing if it meant my case against you was significantly weaker as a result of my mistake. my case however remains strong because you explicitly saying my posts are clear is NOT the thrust of my case against you, the point is you were attacking me exclusively for the style of my posts, that is for their length, rather than explaining why those posts were actually bad, that is incorrect and also fake. that to me was a very fake opinion. yes my posts are longer than most because I am explaining my thoughts more fully and giving them the time to develop in ways that most players do not, but there is no way you can actually say my intentions within my posts are not clear.

- TMM is not saying that my posts are unclear (he is not saying they are clear either). he is saying that my posts are difficult to read because of their "style," that is because of their length and the manner in which I am explaining my thoughts more fully so that there is no risk of misunderstanding or miscommunication. whether that is true or untrue, it is SCUMMY to suggest that that reason alone is enough to think someone must be scum. if he thinks I am doing it to hide my intentions then he is mistaken since my intentions are very clear with every post I make as a direct result of my expanded posting style this game, and it is a belief so unreasonable that I believe it is fake, that is to say it is deliberately presented to look genuine but is in fact fabricated, and that is something scum would be more likely to do instead of town and that therefore makes me think TMM is more likely scum than town.

If she's town and the way she's posting is annoying people then her message is going to get lost because people are just going to skip right over her posts.

While it's not impossible to read, I find the style distracting and several others have voiced the same opinion. People are going to skip over posts they have trouble reading and that means your message is going to get lost in the shuffle.

if people skip over my posts because they do not want to read posts then that is on them, it is not my job to spoonfeed the lazy and intellectual disinterested except insofar as I wish people to read my cases and to vote with them, but I have made the judgment that players who are unwilling to read my very clear posts simply because they are longer and explain my thoughts more fully are unlikely to be interested in playing mafia at all and so they are not the audience to whom I am trying to appeal but rather to those who wish to actually win the game by hunting for mafia and removing them from the game that is to say the town!

furthermore if players believe I am scum simply for posting in this fashion then they are making an unreasonable stance, which again is my point against you, TMMadman, known scum!

EccoRaven posted:

IT IS NOT GARBAGE, HOW DARE YOU CALL IT GARBAGE!! I, Mooooocco Ravo, will not stand for you to call it garbage when it is anything but garbage! garbage is smelly and sticky and can easily be discarded, but my case against you can-NOT be easily discarded for it touches on your behavior this game and explains why that behavior is more likely to be from scum than town!

the case summarized below with shorter bullet points that are easier to read for people whose time is too precious to fully appreciate the broader points that I discussed above in ways that were again very clear to anyone who bothered to read them!

- you continually attack the way I speak this game over the substance despite repeatedly saying that it is very clear what I am saying!!

- you falsely presented MMT's vote on you, which you then used that false light to case aspersions against me, Mocco Ravo, the best scumhunter in the game! this is bad because it is scummy because it is something scum would be more likely to do than town because scum must fake all their content!

- you announced you would be leaving the thread for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon, which was not necessary and in truth was quite awkward since a secure town player would not feel the need to make such an excuse but an insecure scum would!

The very first point of your summary is that I've repeatedly said that it's very clear what you're saying.
