The whole swing from "Sci scumslipped and I'm not backing off it!!" to this is odd.

I feel your drumming up people is performative and a way for you to provide 'content' without really providing content so you can look town.

Then what would you have me do exactly? Scummily lurk until a case comes up I can jump on? That’s what you seem to be doing, but I’d rather not Because the alternative is actively trying to get people to engage, which is what I’m doing.

Sure, we can if you want but maybe it won't be necessary. After sleeping on it I see an exchange like this:

Me: "Can you tell me precisely what you even actually mean when you say 'you disagree with my initial jab'?" (provides a few examples of how even just this one sentence can be read in a few different ways)

You: "Wow. I've clearly said [repeats exact phrase I specifically asked you to clarify]"

And think, wow we must just have some really serious gaps in how we communicate, that end up driving us nuts in Mafia where attempts to clear them up can't be trusted at face value. I really haven't meant to patronise you, but I can see how it would very easily sound and feel like that when I start trying to pick everything apart so much until I can locate and pin down the exact cause of where you could be misunderstanding me. And when I drop that kind of sendoff.

For what it's worth, yesterday didn't get me really upset at all, just increasingly frustrated. And I thought, man if this had been back in the oldschool Auspol days, this woulda been where I start just browbeating everyone with a naked emotional plea to get you lunched no matter what. My suggestion for changing up your playstyle wasn't only meant as a put-down of your playstyle in this game. (I won't try to deny that element was there though :v: ) I remember you saying recently that you do like to try and change things up sometimes, and I really do think it might be an interesting experiment. It'd certainly throw off the thing that always gets you on my scumdar, at least. But yeah, talking about this kinda thing is more awkward when a game's still on so I'll try and save it till then next time.

I've had a nice streak of a couple really fun chill games lately, at least by my standards, where I can still get all in scum's face but it hasn't got personal at all. I want to keep that up, and I'm sorry I started reaching for more meta topics there which made it more personal.

Yep, the whole thing read to me like communication gaps. I like both of you and I think you're both town. OH NO A TOWNIE SLAP FIGHT

Ok, I know you’re dripping with sarcasm, but that’s LITERALLY the case that was on me. Why on earth would you vote me for it and do the same thing yourself four posts later? I’m confused.

No, I’m popping in when I can and posting. I hit 10 posts before any of this back and forth started. If I was scum Why on earth wouldn’t I do what the majority of scum are probably doing and just sit pretty? Because I’m town and I want to get information into the thread. I really do not get what y’all are wanting me to do here.

I post, and get called out for not having anything written.

So I try to join in and tell people that I’m getting null reads, and I get called out for not having a scum read. I make a call on scumread to get people off my back and back to hunting scum, and people say I’m still not contributing.

Then, I get home from work and try answering the thread, and now I’m being scummy by responding.

The alternative is to just do nothing til deadline, let you all pile on and mislynch me, then after I flip town I get to watch the rest of the game go by as everyone says I posted scummy anyway, so it was a good day 1 call.

This is frustrating.

This really, if you're town it'll become apparent. Or you'll get lunched. I had a string of like 10 games years ago where I got killed D1 because I posted a lot.

What I usually do when I'm playing is I keep a running list of people in my head (or in notepad) that I have a bad gut feel about. Then if I feel stuck I'll pick one of those from that list (usually the one with the fewest posts because I'm lazy) and try to drum up a case on them. Sometimes there's a case, sometimes there isn't.
