So yes, on the one hand it's a good idea to post a lot and keep your ideas flowing. On the other hand, you mustn't want to post every little theory you come up with. Write them down for yourself to keep them in mind and gather evidence for and against. Then make a post about it when you are more convinced which hypothesis is true, rather than posting them all. But this is all based on a different game and I don't know if it's remotely similar to what happened here. In GoT mafia your problem was mainly going all nuts at WBG  | ||

Do I think my play was perfect? Hell no. It was my first scum game. But I honestly feel like I did a pretty decent job of pretending to be a townie, because I did play this game with the mindset of a townie. Which, as odd as it is, is exactly what a good scum's mindset should be. | ||

What I remember tripped you up in SMBB was that you did post a lot, but every post had a different opinion. iGrok was scum, no Grush, no iGrok after all, together with Tali. By the time you actually got it right, it was easy to dismiss as "throwing blame around to see where it'll stick" and paint you as scum. Hell, I am not even sure anybody was actually convinced you were scum by the time you died in that game, but you had no credibility either way.

By the time you died, you had literally accused 6 out of the 8 people of being scum, and all of them after their vote for you (except for prplhz). | ||

Only having one scum partner is probably much, much easier than when you have 4 or 5 or whatever. | ||

But I honestly feel like I did a pretty decent job of pretending to be a townie, because I did play this game with the mindset of a townie. Which, as odd as it is, is exactly what a good scum's mindset should be. That point is self-defeating, though, since a guy like Marv doesn't need me to tell him how to pretend to be townie. Also, Marv isn't some ridiculous superdemon of scum skill. He makes mistakes too. And honestly, it's much much more important to increase the activity of townies and force people to talk than it is to avoid giving the little piece of advice it'll take to make Zephirdd the next Marv. Your #1 goal as a townie is to lynch scum. If it turns out a scum player becomes more skilled as a result of your pressure, that's actually totally okay. In fact, this argument against telling people what to do could be applied against making cases in general. Maybe I should never point out scummy things people do when making cases against them, right? Cause they'll stop doing it and appear like townies? This kind of logic is the kind of logic that leaves TL towns in the state they're in today. | ||

E: Good game all. Sorry town wasn't more active and people got lynched that probably shouldn't have. | ||

Not even saying that marv isn't brilliant as scum. | ||

It should have still seemed illogical and unhelpful to provide town with 6 scumreads right? You initially built scumreads based on how people acted, what kinds of cases they developed, and what they did, and you fingered prplhz and keirathi. Then, you started thinking anyone who attacked you was scum, and that's when you stopped being accurate. If you had stuck to your reads and not let the attacks on you interfere, I can't say for sure prplhz or kei would have gotten lynched, but I think even if you did get lynched, town would have more to work off of. If you get mislynched as a townie it's not all over-- you want to try to set up for a town victory anyways. It's still a win, even if you're dead, if town wins. | ||

Why weren't two scum on Dirkzor or marvellosity or Ange777? It's not like we decided "holy fuck we need to all in here", it felt pretty natural for both of us to vote you and a lot of townies felt the same way. In the end you were lynched with 7 votes on you, 5 of them town which is enough for majority on its own. If you don't want to get lynched on day1 then it's a lot easier for you to change how you play than to change how everybody else plays. They play that way for a reason you know. | ||

I think I've only ever played with him as "scum", and he's always posted a lot less. He knows this, though, and he's a smart cookie. Is he posting more now BECAUSE he knows I'm in this game and since he's scum he can' tplay like he did, or is it b/c he's genuinely town? Verdict: WIFOM as fuck. At least with this much posting if he is scum it won't come down to something retarded like in Death Note (ITSMARVELBABYYY YEAHHHHH) Risen wrote: Well that's going to go down as one of the dumbest things a towny has ever done if I get lynched off that rofl. | ||
