This game has already ascended the RVS so I kind of feel bad promoting such a shitty play but I just can't help myself to stoop to that level sometimes.
There are a few important facts about this game
First, this is Reverse Mafia. The good guys are bad, and the bad guys are good.
I feel that this brings a couple things into the equation
1) It should make me a valuable player, considering we basically have a scum-style-town
2) scumhunting becomes a little different; people who are bad may have a superiority complex

I see you haven't changed much

Dude, you are scum reading me for something that makes no one scum. I want to understand your thought process before forming a solid read on you. I am NOT answering a question YOU were supposed to clarify.
|
Think this way: if I decided to smurf, I have my own reasons, and if you expect me to reveal my identity when I decided in pre game I didn't want to, you're weird.

You're actually not answering anything, it literally does not matter what I ask of you.
I'll leave it up to the other players to decide what they think. I have no problems killing you regardless of alignment at this point, since if you are indeed town you are pretty much worthless.

I agree with your general premise but not your methodology. I have already said the important question in regards to our mystery man is whether he will use his identity to impart wisdom and knowledge or to sow confusion.
So did I, you just failed to read where I said it. Twice. Now three times, actually, and if you count this now, four. Show nested quote +
You seem to miss the point that had he been interested in revealing his identity he would have done so. This goes back to my earlier question to you: Do you ask him to reveal his identity so that when he refuses you can accuse him? Why would a member of the coven do such a thing when they already know that the outcome will be that he does not revel himself.
Nope. You're not reading. Keep this up and I'm going to just ignore you. Show nested quote +
Your argument so far has been that his withholding his identity is suspicious and his posting style thus far is suspicious. But if we do not know his identity how can we judge his posting style as indicative of anything?
All that said, our mystery man does need to choose his path. He either gives us wisdom and clarity or he sows confusion, and his fate is decided by which course of action he chooses to take.
Nope. I am saying you do not understand because, well...you don't. Let me clarify for you what has happened so far, and what is now worth discussing. Show nested quote +On June 08 2015 08:21 FreezingFoot wrote:On June 08 2015 08:15 wherebugsgo wrote:

@Kickstart thoughts on Wherebugsgo attacking FreezingFoot for being a smurf? Being a smurf is not alignment indicative. refusing to divulge relevant information sure is! identity is a large part of mafia. But surely if you were an acolyte you would see the wisdom in ones words and not need to know the person's identity to discern its wisdom or lack thereof. Is this attempt to discern this persons true identity something useful for a member of the coven? Do you ask so that you can discredit if he does not oblige? Do you ask to know if he is a powerful and wise acolyte? Both courses of action would be beneficial to the inquisitors, while knowing his true identity or not does not matter to members of the coven. Ones words and actions matter most to the coven, not ones identity. Only an inquisitor would be so interested in ones identity over ones wisdom. Would you rather have the smurf be Foolishness, or random lurker X? What about Ace, or BloodyC0bbler? How exactly is this purely a scum-motivated question? It arguably helps town far more, given that if the smurf is town scum already know they are town and they are already automatically a threat. Knowing a player's identity is less important to scum. As scum I have left otherwise "good" townies alive to throw off towns before, simply because they were completely wrong. It's not a scum motivated question. But you questioned nothing. it is a scum behaviour. It's basically a policy lynch that you get behind without compromising yourself. You won't have to rely on building original reads. You just see a townie and justify a push on him without actually caring for his alignment. What I exhibited is a "scum behaviour" according to Freezingfoot. He didn't like my original post, and he thinks I am not trying to build original reads. He claims I don't care about his alignment.

It will help town = town approach You're mafia because you're not telling us who you are = scum approach. Implicitly calling my approach scum approach. But not directly doing it. If Freezingfoot thinks my approach is so scummy, in four straight posts.... Why doesn't he vote me? If he tries to get me killed directly that would be one thing, but he's just weakly throwing back mud at me.
Did you not see this post freezingfoot?

I think literally the only two things holding me back from thinking FrozenFoot is 100% scum are:
a.) He's literally the first person whose thread entrance I didn't like, and the first person I focused on. I will freely admit I am fairly tunneled, but given his responses I can live with this
b.) He might very well just be terrible at town, given that the vast majority of players (including myself) are terrible at catching scum

I think he's scumming him because instead of saying why not revealing isn't alignment indicative (it's not), he beat around the bush omgusing and asking questions. That's like a triple negative but I can't think of better words.

it's a combination of all of those things.
The worst by far is the accusation without a vote.

You're some of the only players I recognize in the list so I would appreciate knowing your opinions on the situation at hand

I thought kickstart's backtrack was just as scummy. Kickstart responded to you believing that not revealing isn't alignment indicative (there's that double negative again), then backtracked when some of the pressure started going his way.
He votes you for blasphemy, gives an opinion on not revealing, gets pressured, changes opinion on not revealing.

Oh shit, we live.
Anyway, everyone should vote me for the night blue thingy since I shot Palmar in Assassination.
Anyway, is Bugs always this aggressive? I think I played with him once like two years ago but I can't remember any details.
That's a real aggressive start.

I saw it
What about it?
See, this is what I'm looking at when I see bugs post:
Who is scum? FreezingFoot
Why he could be scum? Because he is not revealing his identity when he is getting voted.
Why not revealing his identity when up to the lynch is a mafia behaviour? (silence)

You're definitely not tunneling WBG
I don't really agree with you on the matter, however
Here's why: Given that this guy is playing on an alt, his meta is going to be like this. There is absolutely no way I see him as scum as a result. He, if anything, is my strongest townread. Right behind him is Kickstart. The person I'm finding looking bad from all of this is batsnacks. He is parroting your arguments and buddying you.

unvote;
vote: batsnacks
batsnacks "backtracks"
|
this vote is relatively serious

Buddying maybe I don't really see parroting though.
