You did not establish your innocence, you established your dominance over the only other active town (Corazon). There's a big difference between appearing innocent (which you did not, at one point 66% of the active towns were after you as scum) and dominating the game because you have 1 actual opponent (after TS died).

e: well, more like zero opponents, since I had given up on trying to hunt you after TS died, which I already admitted was the biggest mistake I think I made in this game. I didn't have a town read on you, I just didn't think there was any point in pursuing you when Cora and your lurker buddy would just burn me down for trying to do so (again, my fault for just giving up).

It's all good, I just need to learn to stick with my guns more. I really should've lynched Sevryn.
Anyways I'm ready to forget this nightmare of a game. Too bad I can't drink...

Wait how were Mocsta and Cora the only active townies?
Man, I really wish I didn't get killed N1. Everybody forgot about me and I didn't contribute anything but shit play.

Experience all that the Brown has to offer. For the Brown is like gravity. It is an undeniable truth.

And the truth?

The truth sets you free.

I was talking about active players the context of N2 and D3. I really wish Mocsta had not been smart enough to shoot you N1.

Dude did you read Chezinu's posts in the LIX scum qt?

Chez is totally not nuts at all, and he's playing you like a fiddle if you join his Brown Brotherhood.

I thought for this game it would be to not blatantly copy other game posts as a reason to be "pro-town"/promote discussion.

At least paraphrase; or drop off the NMM36.

Yeah, it was dumb of me to switch off sevryn to sylencia on D3.

I switched because sevryn was actually making what could be construed as pro-town posts, and I thought there was some merit to the idea that he was faking the roleblock claims. It was also hard to look back at sylencia's filter and find posts that were helpful to town, while sevryn did have a few of these (in between the rather effortless still-lurking posts that he tended to make).

If you refer to the big link post I made about sevryn on N2, I really was not impressed with his play. They (the scumteam) picked up on this and fixed it, but it was a mistake for me to accept their last-minute fix.

I think the lesson here is to go after someone if they look scummy over the whole length of the game, and not give up because they temporarily seem less scummy than someone else.

Also, I'm not sure anyone had a town read on Mandalor like Mocsta suggests. I thought his rather hardcore lurking was less scummy than the semi-active lurking of sylencia and sevryn, but I had a null read on Mandalor before he swooped in with his last minute post on D3.

No offense to either side, I though Mocsta was scum off and on. Sure he got most of a free ride in that almost nobody questioned him or his motives. But that's not his fault. Part of the problem in the game IMO was that nobody questioned the direction of the town at almost any point and Mocsta abused that all to hell.

Part of becoming a better player in every game is learning when to question game state. When the most active/loudest voices persist, you really need to ask yourself why they're persisting. Are these people who are being manipulated? Are these people who are actively leading the town to bad decisions? What's the purpose for scum leaving them around? Sure you might argue that's all a circumstantial case, but the cumulative effects of being wrong and loud add up to something. Personally I was very surprised when neither Cora nor Mocsta wanted to discuss cases day 2 as that seemed very anti-town. I was surprised when nobody put them on blast for it.

I was actually kinda mad dying night 1 as I felt like I was going to be building momentum to steal the shared mayor position from Mocsta/Cora and get the town headed in a more effective direction. I was also mad at myself for not sharing my suspicions of Mocsta even if I couldn't find the case I wanted to make on him.

Hey warbaby! I don't give a fuck if you don't think Mocsta's nomination is warranted! It's MY subjective opinion (which may or may not even be valid due to his playing more games or whatever) and if you don't like it DON'T FUCKING VOTE FOR HIM IN EIGHT OR WHATEVER MONTHS! What are you trying to accomplish coming in here and saying "You're not as impressive as you seem to think" exactly anyway? What's the POINT? Get the fuck over it, you lost.

I tried to be fucking nice.

Town has collectively bitched incessantly about everything in the game without any person reasonably taking blame upon themselves except zare (who seriously deserves a lot less than most other players).

I'm not sure that that indicates much learning, which is kinda the goal of Newbie games no? (Okay hilarity is another goal).
