i just got mislynched last week, va
and i've been mislynched once here...and would have been lynched in my first scum game if i hadn't conceded
maybe there is a subconscious thing where people don't lynch people they like as frequently as others, and i will admit i know a lot of the players in these games more than passingly and i've made those mistakes myself, where i'm more likely to townread people i have some sort of attachment to (see: ls) however...if you're implying that the only reason i don't get lynched (as either alignment) is i'm female? that's kind of blah, va
no its exactly the first part that you just typed. And being female helps with that significantly on a male dominated site. you could see -redacted- wanted to lynch you but couldnt do it cause you're friends.

eh, maybe?
i'd like to think that's not solely gender-based xP my friendships with people lol

I'm not even harassing her, just simply the only person that won't bother to be politically correct and tell it how it is.
FWIW even if your theory of people being unwilling to lynch women were true, the problem would almost certainly lie with the men who make up the majority of mafia players and make that decision, not with the women who play. Again, not saying anything about the reasonableness of your theory, just pointing out that if your theory is true it's a statement about the behavior of men.

astute observation, but this has gone long enough sorry to derail the thread. I hope she did not take it as an attack at her.

mm? no
it kinda implies i just suck at life and only don't get lynched cause i'm female xP but i didn't actually think that's what you meant. i mean, it kinda falls in line with the women in combat arguments?
legitimately women aren't as physically strong and that's a big part of why the argument still exists
but an arguably bigger problem is how the men around the women react in combat situations...that natural protective instinct that causes them to do stupid things they otherwise wouldn't
it's an intriguing concept...not sure how much it applies here or if you'd even be able to quantify it though lol ><

It definitely applies a lot. It's not an all woman thing since ya know, ninjabunnies gets lynched 10/10 times but it's one of those when you're friendly with people woman moments and the horny teenage man see's people as weak vulnerable females that could never be lying since they're too nice outside the game! I mean it's a personality thing at the end of the day but i think it's applied to women far more than men to men.
I can see that a lot in people's play.

A lot of stupid in this thread

It's a simple fact of life, nothing stupid about it. Sure there are many forward thinking men that it doesn't apply to just as there are women that it doesn't apply to. That doesn't eliminate the fact that I've seen people's play affected by it.

I'm not saying there is no relation between someone's gender and how you are treated by certain people. But it's certainly diminished seeing as we're playing a game played entirely in text?
It's definitely not a reason to "not play with women again because they're treated differently" although I'm sure you agree on that account.

No it's not really diminished. I'm not saying she didn't get lynched because she's a woman or whatever like va said vut there are a lot of good points that get swept under the rug due to relations outside the game etc etc.
And no i just hate all of you equally

Im assuming im one of the people that EBH is trying to apply this too? Im not sure though but im fairly certain rsoultin being a girl doesn't affect my reasoning at all it was for other shit reasons like her actually being around at the lynch and me being indecisive as fuck which you could also se me do with the HF lynch. I still didn't lynch her for shit reasons but her gender didn't play a part in it.

You're all stupid.
I'm the greatest.

This is what's important to get out of the argument imo
And we should be careful not to let this devolve if the conversation continues because it has the potential to.

WoS scum MVP btw
I'll say this much as I said it to multiple people during the game.
I had every intention at the start of this game to 'actively lurk,' but I didn't intend it to be for the reasons I did, nor to the extent that I did.
And I would not have been able to do so or survive were it not for my teammates so I'm not willing to take credit/MVP status.
I will take credit for organizing NKs though 'cause it's probably the best part of my scumgame :D

-_-
i kinda fail to see how this conversation could be constructive from here? disregarding the fact that by saying these things you guys are basically saying it doesn't matter how i play because i'm a girl
the fact of the matter is this is a social game. you don't win just by being right. you also have to work within the player base and try to get people to do what you want them to do...it's part of the game. maybe my being nice and friendly outside the game helps me in that respect, but does that mean i'm unlynchable? (demonstrably not) does that mean i can get people to do whatever i want? (no)
i'm not sure how this is different than say, palmar/marv or something when they've got townreads on each other no one else understands? or the game i was mislynched in where dp pandered to geript's ego and i couldn't get him lynched no matter how hard i tried lol ><

Didn't say it's why you win games at all? Just an interesting insight into the mechanics of the game.
VA on the other hand is different :p
