No I definitely don't exclude you. I think you did enough to clear yourself. I'm not saying you made it easy, no. If you read some of my second half of the game you'll see I am trying to figure you out. Unfortunately my musings were interrupted. If I did get there it would be because you were just saying what you thought, and saying it with conviction. It didn't match what anybody else was saying. It didn't match what anybody wanted to hear. This is good in my book. | ||

I believe at the time of my death 0 town were clearing me, 1 was ready to murder me through the screen, 1 had upgraded me to mere dislike, and 1 didn't have much to say about me. Then I died. Who besides me was surprised by that? What was the state of my reads? Well, I had LT and Valenius as lock clear. I had robik as lock scum. I said I would thunderdome him. I made cases. I said "if you (robik) are town the game is already over because I'm never not voting you". Consider the implications of that. If scum believe me (and why wouldn't they?), and if robik is town, all they have to do is kill somebody who isn't me or robik and they have a guaranteed victory. That's pretty attractive. There's no wifom there where they did it to setup robik, all they need is my vote on a town and they can snipe a win. I take a very straightforward view of night kills, both making them and interpreting them. When I'm scum I kill the threats. I believe it's much better to argue with a corpse who can't vote than to have a live player harassing me. When I'm town and when there's a surprise night kill, I want to know the reason. Killing a player who is universally cleared might mean nothing. Killing a player who is on the suspect list --- I want to know what he was thinking. The nk is validating his reads. | ||

I think it's better to have a day 1 style with more pooh flinging monkeys. Then as the game goes on transition to longer, more reflective posts. Interactions are hard to do well as scum. Lots of early interactions (by pooh flinging monkeys I mean quick attacks with little reason to them) early lays a nice foundation for later study. But you can't play the whole game that way. In the end you got to study the thread. I'm not sure though. It could be cultural differences and maybe I'm just biased by my past experience. /ramble | ||
