I will probably out later (because I really shouldn't be playing), but I'll see how fast it fills and how my free time is when it does.

Cause this is the third game ive played with sqrt.

I know him pretty well by now.

I do think it's weird because my intention was to get sqrt to answer so I have something to work off of with him.

sqrt why am I scum?

uh I guess I'm really bad at reading sarcasm...

The town thing is a habit I've gotten into after playing irl mafia where I just say "I'm town" at the start of the game no matter what.

Legit though, I would highly encourage everyone to check my meta (which is in my profile) because I think I play very differently as town and scum.

Kenpachi rule is that when someone claims VT, the first person to attack them for it is scum. Pretty sure it's only for VT claims though (which I did not).

This pretty much.

It's generally more likely that he would be asking for a coaching qt if he didn't have a mafia qt, therefore he is probably town. Unless he faked this as mafia, which is kind of breaking the rules so he probably wouldn't do it as mafia.

I feel dirty but it's what must be done.

I can't "confirm" him, I said he was "literally confirmed town" which is obviously exaggeration. Then I explained to you why the question was townie to ask, but in the meantime sqrt posted that post, which made it less townie. I explained that in my next post.

Are you saying that the phrase itself was an exaggeration, or you meant to exaggerate?

uh, yes? I was trying to exaggerate, not imply that he was actually confirmed town.

Sqrt literally confirmed town

Well he can't be confirmed town...


Keep your stories straight. And stop defending against "I do not know if I should consider this a heuristic, if it even is a heuristic". This implies inherent guilt...

If I am not even pushing you as scum and you ask me why I think you are scum, I am forced to consider whether or not you are acting under paranoia or guilt.

You were asked for "who you like the least" (ie a scumread) and you gave possibly the least committal read in existence, so I asked you to back it up with something.

You didn't. You pointed out a contradiction I made, but you ignored my explanation for it and didn't actually explain why scum were more likely to perform it than town. This looks to me like you don't actually have a reason for disliking it, and you're just blending in because I've already caught some flak for the "contradiction".

I would first like to point out that slam, fuba, and mderg have all taken opportunities to say what I'm doing is strange without really pushing any of it.

But, I will explain it because it is apparently far more complicated than I originally thought.

This is obvious sarcasm, as sqrt is clearly not confirmed anything. I was saying that the sqrt's question was probably town in a facetious way to make fun of the fact that he essentially broke the rules.

1) Yeah, that´s true. What´s your conclusion on that?

2) It´s not that obvious. Sarcasm is difficult to detect on the internet, so it can never be 100% obvious.


I´m not sure about any scum motivation behind that but it seemed a bit strange.

Scum entering the thread who need to give an opinion on something would find it easy to jump on something that was already controversial and catching criticism, ie me. Add that to the fact that no one was actually pushing me as scum or giving any reasons why I would actually be scum, just lightly throwing suspicion. It's not a slam dunk or anything, but I think it looks bad. Worst on Slam, not as bad on you because you only gave it when someone specifically asked you.

He's not going to get a pass the entire game. His question was more likely to come from town than scum but my read on him is going to depend on his posting, as usual.

I think I'm the only one who thinks Sqrt right now is town. Chromatically probably too.

Here are my thoughts.

Chromatically is saying Sqrt is likely town for asking about the coaches. Though it's not something that I particularly like doing either, I also think Sqrt wouldn't likely be asking about coaches if he were scum. It'd be a good move by Sqrt if he were actually really mafia and was planning on asking that to appear town, but I don't really think that's what happened here. In my interpretation, Sqrt then jokes about his being confirmed town because of his asking about coaches. Chromatically thinks it's a bit less townie of him to joke about being confirmed town, but I can't see a mafia making a joke about it like that.

Sqrt's probably town for me right now.

Chromatically is also probably town, maybe. Idk that he would go out of his way to claim Sqrt as probable town if he (Chromatically) were Mafia. I would think mafia would just care to give a neutral read on Sqrt if anything.

Bunny, you don't want to clear Sqrt. That's understandable I guess. You think a mafia could have just as easily asked about coaches, but I feel a bit differently about it, and feel that it's more likely that a townie asked about coaches then a mafia. No read on you so far.

Alakaslam seems to be pushing a bit on Chromatically and Sqrt for backtracking, but I believe he's making a big case over a joke. I also am unsure of how what Chromatically said implies inherent guilt. Maybe I misunderstood what Alakaslam was saying. @Alakaslam, can you explain your thought behind that again.

Fuba - I put you kind of in the same boat as Alakaslam. I find it hard to understand what you're trying to push Chromatically on. Your phrasing, to me, is a bit poor in this line, "Are you saying that the phrase itself was an exaggeration, or you meant to exaggerate?" As, to me, they both mean the same thing. You say the difference is intent and I don't really follow much of what you said in the rest of your post, "According to him, he didn't mean what he was saying from the start. I find this weird because he followed up that first statement with more evidence to support it, along with the assertion that finding sqrt to be town is "what must be done". He doesn't think sqtr is confirmed town, but says he's confirmed town, gives evidence that he is confirmed town, then switches to saying he's not confirmed town for the only reason that would have made sqtr not confirmed town in the first place."

Don't really have a read on anybody else as of yet.

Sure.

I explained who I liked and disliked in reply to a query, stating that I don't hold that to be a heuristic. Sloosh wants the game moving and so do I so I answered.

I have no absolute scum read at this point, and that is not sufficient heuristic to launch a ghost-OMGUS FoS from.

But for chromatically to take me so extremely, surprised me enough to wonder if maybe I actually should scumread him.

I think this isn't the situation.

As far as my scum play under this meta, I simply act far more classic TL townie. Ask Kush.

Also I would hard bus, we were savagely accusing each other for the bus and rofling in the qt in extractor trick.

So Slam, I get that you're saying that you don't have a strong scumread on me, but it sounds to me like you are saying some of my actions were scummy. Did/do you think that my contradiction and my question to you were scummy actions in and of themselves?

Like does the bolded mean that you thought the way I approached that was scummy?
