I think I'm in the same boat as MMM. Exact, in that quote where you say "he", it seems like you are talking about Rarity -- but Rarity is a she.

So, were you referring to Rarity and got the genders mixed up? Or were you referring to someone else?

Yeah I was trying to tell whether EXAKT was misgendering rarity or taking a sudden swerve into saying opop was scummy for it.

I think this is a really weird question? That's not really an answer but its how I feel about it at the moment.

Also as to the other question ("I just think Five is spending a lot of time asking other people their opinions instead of posting theirs") The game suddenly turned from jokepost to seriouspost while I was at work way more concerned about lynch time in my other game so I am sussing things out in my own way, thank you very much.

Pretend Rarity isn't scum - Who is?

reads like you have decided Rarity is scum based on a scant handful of posts, want us to go through with some kind of Gedankenexperiment where Rarity is Scum, overly concerned with game status, and you seem to be pushing really hard to be leading town. Why is that, I wonder. Why would someone... push to lunch town... on spurious grounds... hmmm

Ok I'm starting to not like Somber. It's natural to think the person defending the person you're casing is their scum buddy, we all know that, but I think Somber's been around long enough to know that's not a read you can trust, especially when the first person hasn't even flipped.

Ok I was asked for reads on Opop and MC so here goes.

Opopanax posted:

It's this. This is a scum post.

Oh hey, Opop didn't take long. 6 whole posts! Wowza! This is the only thing that leaps out to me as scummy. Not because he's accusing me, cause he just calls it a scum post without giving a reason for his read. It's easy for scum to just accuse people, it's a lot harder for them to fake justifications. Ok, onto MC.

MC Eating Disorder posted:

For that matter whats your read on me?

Well I find it really weird that you asked for a read on you with your first serious post. What were you expecting me to say? Luckily, I went to bed so you've given me loads of content now!

MC Eating Disorder posted:

4th game of mafia, including the 1st game I opted out of during D2 because mafia is stressful and I'm bad at stress but I feel like I'm picking it up.

My first thought is that I believe you've played mafia outside SA, cause for someone in their 4th game you play with a lot more confidence than I would expect. Look at the lovely ANarc for example, she's been in more games but she's still not really self-assured in her play. Hang on, I'm gonna go check out your other 3 games.

Ok, I'm back! Even in your first Auspol game, you play with a familiarity to the game that just isn't how newbies play. You were scum in Periphary and played the "i'm a newbie" card whenever you came under suspicion. This whole "picking it up" thing is bullshit, so there's that.

MC Eating Disorder posted:

the more I think about it honestly my ability to not get any scum vibes off Comma might entirely be the Adam Scott avatar and their willingness to buy me as jittery town but at this point I'll take it until I get any other good reads on them

This reads like backpeddling upon realising Comma hasn't really done enough to justify a strong town read. Also, you're throwing out a lot of questions. A LOT of questions.

If I thought Rarity was scum I would be joining the bandwagon train against them - I was asking MCed to drop that from his thinking if it was there. If anything I wanted people to run a thought experiment where Rarity was town.

Considering that half the people in the game are complaining that they haven't been able to get any reads at all and are complaining about this being "One of those games" I have to say that I don't think I could agree with you less on this.

I think your post on MC is awful - Its the new winner in the scummiest post you've made in this thread contest. Opop's vote on you actually seems justified and yet it's 'scummy' and you go out of your way to say you say that not because hes voting you. Then you redirect on MCed where I think the bulk of your case seems to be "You seem awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwfully good at this game for such a newbie.... vote".

I don't think MMM was nearly as paranoid about my play as you were, I swear I'm not scamming you or playing some perpetual idiot card the closest thing I can think of is I played the rl version of this when I was a kid 20 years ago and you just had one cop and nothing else

I did notice it, but I don't think it means they're some kind of mafia expert.

I think MCED is more likely to be a tryhard than a scammer. I think I played my early games fairly similarly; I've seen other new people come at the game with gusto as well.

I mean like, why even lie about it?

Oh man I don't even remember that at all.

To be honest I wouldn't kick and scream being lynched Day 1, as long as I can get some people posting their opinions and stuff before they do it. One of the things I Have Learned over the intervening years (?) is that I shouldn't take things personally, especially from insane people on the internet.

This comes off as townie to me, because that is where my feelings are as vanilla town. Nothing else Five has posted leads me to believe he is scum.

First you accuse MC of being confident it heir gameplay, and even reference other games where MC was confident. But then drop a vote because MC is confident? You even refute your own case by pointing out a game where MC played up the newbie card when scum.

To me it reads that you want to vote MC, and tried to make a case to fit the vote. Except it was a terrible case.

Genuine question: it appears you think both Rarity and MC could be scum. Do you think Rarity pushing a lynch of MC to be scum bussing one of their own?

I know it's possible, but it seems a little early in the game for it.
