I PERSONALLY would never try to make someone angry as it's a game. As far as I know you are town, I am also town, what I wanted was for you to explain why you didn't like a post I made. You gave me loving bullshit in return, had Asiina not asked you, you would've never done it and it potentially could've gotten me killed.

But you called it scummy, and now you are saying I am town, as far as you know. Can you explain this? Am I scum or am I not?

I am also not trying to get somebody angry, but I'm certainly not willing to cede you control a of a narrative when I am trying to dig.

I'm still catching up but another thought about podima (who i don't agree with the case on) is that he would also spell particular attention to cop fuckery in an eccogame because of a previous experience that still traumatizes me to this day

so i kinda understand pointing out the miller thing with emphasis

This does not resolve this. You are saying I am town, while simultaneously saying I am behaving scummy. Am I town behaving poorly, or am I scum? Step back if you need to, I will be busy for the next few hours.

The great thing about this game is I don't know what your loving alignment is. Let me break my post down word by word by word so maybe you will loving understand:

SalTheBard posted:

I PERSONALLY feel like manipulating peoples emotions in Mafia is a lovely loving thing to do. I think that doing it is a scummy thing to do (not that that makes you scum, you could be rear end in a top hat town, who knows)

quote:

As far as I know you are town, I am also town

I am town, you could be town, we could both be scum slap fighting! Thats the great thing! I operate from the assumption that people are town and want to engage in good faith conversations


quote:

what I wanted was for you to explain why you didn't like a post I made. You gave me loving bullshit in return, had Asiina not asked you, you would've never done it and it potentially could've gotten me killed.

The heart of the issue and why my hands are shaking in fury right now is when I tried to engage you in good faith you didn't. Had Asiina not put pressure on you I don't think you would've ever engaged back. Leaving a post like yours out there with no ability for me to refute it could lead to a town miskill tonight.

I'm seriously beginning to think you are just loving with me at this point because there is no way that post could be read any other way than the way I intended it.

The Ninth Layer posted:

I find these comments suspect for several reasons.

AS simultaneously acknowledges Podima's defense of her accusations but then repeats those accusations to anotherr without any sign of taking Podima's defense to account.

When challenged to explain why Atomic Soda's accusations speak at all to alignment, AS instead simply repeats them verbatim, as if unwilling or unable to explore them further.

AS offers two very disposable, unexplained reads of others here and ends the statement disparaging Asiina's vote and implying Asiina needs to post opinions of others. It is as if Atomic Sofa offered up these quick opinions solely to accuse Asiina of not having done the same.

An assassin should always trust their instincts. Mine are telling me to ##unvote ##vote Atomic Soda

I agree with this case entirely. Specifically, the motive behind hearing a defense and then not engaging with it at all. I've grappled a lot with how much to take into account the defense of someone who I think is scum but it mega depends on context and I think responding to "this is what i genuinely think in mafia in general" with "i'm not claiming this is some air tight slam dunk" reads a lot to me as a scum thinking "well, i already went out on my ledge for today targeting a townie, i can't waste the social capital to do it again so i'm just gonna stick with it."

this is the place where my vote would be but i want to fully catch up first.

as a final thought here, atomic soda, yami and I have an unconfirmed masonry. I really don't give much of a poo poo about unconfirmed masonries (especially in an eccogame!!!!) because they gently caress with your head and idk i dont want to share secrets and chat much with people whose alignment might not be town. too much wifom.

I'm seriously beginning to think you are just loving with me at this point because there is no way that post could be read any other way than the way I intended it.

I will point out this and then stop engaging at all:

-Assuming everybody is town is a poor way to conduct scum hunting.
-I have no obligation to engage with somebody I think I scum. I have no obligation to engage with anybody. If that gets you very upset, that is unfortunate, but your anger about that is anger about something I am entirely entitled to do or not do, both within social standards and within the game of mafia.

Now, I still do think Sal is scum, but I also don't think he's faking being mad about this, so I'm going to let my points rest for now.

Podima posted:

I don't agree with this, AS' tone felt conversational and willing to discuss the vote, not as hardline as you're framing it to be here.

i feel like i need a deeper literary analysis here, like honestly, to know what parts of as's post(s?) you're actually talking about.

like, you're just talking about tone and not content? scum fake tone. but the lack of engagement with you and then basically asserting to asiina that the case was clear of why you were scummy when i disagree, it was never clear why you were scum from her case (which, hey, townies can make bad cases, it's the follow-up that has activated my scumsensor9000)

My current feeling on Sal is he had at least distinguished himself from the likes of bowmore. I question his methods and think his technique could use some work, but my feeling for now is that his heart's in the right place and that perhaps others are beginning to take advantage of his poor handling of pressure.

I still don't like AA's posting style, especially compared to Pequod, but Bow's post history is actively frustrating for me to look at after coming from another game that essentially died to lurkers.
