ah. sorry to hear it.
I'm most curious how you went from protecting DP over me night 1 to not being sure he was town later.
Like, nothing significant had changed. DP pretty much had to be town because of the first cycle.

your death reads post was dangerously indecisive. It was sooooo unlikely, like monumentally so, that DP was scum after the day 1 shenannies.
"I like DP less, but I think Djo is scummier" was not as strong as I'd hoped, especially as you'd cottoned on to the fact that Djodref's setup speculation basically took days and confirmed players who would end up being confirmed eventually and weren't getting lynched.
Like, there were REALLY REALLY GOOD REASONS why DP should be town, and none of these reasons existed for Djo.

"cottoned on" is like grasped/realised. maybe it's a britishism.

yes I know and you were right, but like I said its lack of firmness was worrying. it didn't even say "lynch djodref after s&b"
all's well that ends well, thankfully.

That being said. I think I should be banned or something. It is clearly against the rules to win by making others not want to play. And I'm pretty sure that is what happened here.
No, no, this is simply not a correct reflection of events.

And give away my secrets?!
There was one other thing - although debears got bizarrely sniped, he wasn't checking Djodref that night, when he should have been. Check the replacement almost always, especially if he's replacing some lurker who's on the confirmed, flipped town's "lynch list"

you will roll town most of the time (yes, i know you've been a bit unlucky with scum rolls) so having someone recognise you as town is pretty useful.

how does this benefit me?

You get to improve the play of others and therefore have a richer experience when you play with them
but it won't improve his town play, only his scumplay, and the chances of rolling scum with someone are quite small. I'd rather his scumplay was catchable :D

You said you were glad I shared because you wanted the opportunity to improve your own game. You should extend the same courtesy to DP, IMO! This.
it's quite hard to describe, really. just little behavioural and tonal tells. Kei knows how to read you too, ask him, ask him!

In both games, you had a well thought out opinion that set you apart from the crowd, then backed off that opinion to push an easy target when it was convenient.
In LC, you were the first person to pressure me at all. You had a super strong, well reasoned case about why I was scum that 100% could have gotten me lynched if you stuck to it. Instead of fighting for it, though, you backed off to push kush once he started getting pressured because it was "easier".
ACME was basically the same. You gave a well-reasoned town read on kush, then when no one paid attention to it and started talking about lynching kush, you were all too happy to join in the wagon on him, despite the fact that he was still acting the same way you called him town for.
However, I can't actually say how that's different from your town play, because I'm pretty unfamiliar with reading you and deciding that you're town. I think I would need to obs a game where you're town to notice if you actually do any of those things and see if my read is right. This game doesn't count, since I already knew your alignment beforehand. yeah thanks kei I'll work on that. Or just do it a bunch as town. Doing it a bunch as town is a terrible strategy  Yeah but it serves the purpose of obfuscating my meta.  It also serves the purpose of not being good for town. When you're town: Play to your win con, not your meta. Your town play should affect your scum play, not the other way around. ZZZ I wasn't being serious.
Don't jest, some players like Drazerk genuinely believe that's a good thing. He plays terribly on purpose so people can't "meta" him. Don't ask.

actually apart from the first cycle I don't really think you played badly, maybe like you admitted a little lazily.

The only downside, as to what Hapa and Marv experience, is that you don't make it past d2/d3 as scum :D
But maybe you can bullshit your way out of it
i don't really agree with any of this
especially as most of my scum games i've been alive to take the win at lylo
you get nked early if you're strong and constructive, not because you post a lot

that's where the "wtf" shot on Shady Sands came from in Death Note.
He was a clear mislynch target for me as scum but I killed him to stop him posting. No-one in the thread or the obsQT understood the shot at all, and gamewise it was completely suboptimal.

Mentioning out-of-game things in game as excuses for activity is unsportsmanlike. I don't want to play a game that's about seeing if someone's excuse is real or not by trying to figure out if it's photo-shopped or it makes sense. That game isn't mafia, and it isn't what mafia should be about.
I only partially agree. If I've been away for some reason or I know I'll be away, I'll say so so that the thread knows. People can take it or leave it. I'd rather just say "I'm travelling today, so I won't be around until tomorrow" than ppl go "omg marv so quiet for so long i wonder wft is up with that shizzle to the nizzle"

I personally ignore such statements because they are as easily made by town as by scum-- it's null. It doesn't offend me, it's just not helpful.
I think once people start photographing plane tickets and taking screenshots of dota games, though, they've crossed the line. It may not be against the rules but I find it very distasteful.
yeah, i just don't agree with this. like, it's supposed to be null, i'm just making a statement of fact. Obviously you can take inactivity/excuses into a larger read, but overall I much prefer warning the thread of my absences. I've never lied about my absences as either alignment and I never will.
