Anyways, him attempting to pocket me isn't really something i see him doing from my experience with him. | ||

Sure some of the comments about people dissapearing and what not can be seen as unhelpful (and thus clogging up the thread) to experienced players. But there are clearly some new forum mafia players in this game that we will need to bring up to speed. You might say this conversation itself is clogging up the thread (which I do deem it so, to an extent, but it needs to be had if you're going to continue to disagree with me on this), but I find it really weird that you are trying to make me lower my activity. If there's something specific that's "clogging up the thread" then let me know and i'll stop. | ||

Onto what you actually said: On January 06 2014 11:33 Day_Walker wrote: I didn't like this post at first, because trying to manufacture arguments for their own sake seems like a good way to get townies to fight each other. What do you mean by this, similar to what I asked thechyz, can you elaborate? I find it interesting cause you seemingly said a very similar thing to chyz but are suspicious of him for not answering my question about it... | ||

TheChyz is implying that Balla, by promoting an active town and "lynching" lurkers, helps Balla if he's scum. What? I want to point out that nobody said anything about lynching lurkers at this point except TheChyz himself, who seems to be putting the words in Balla's mouth. Discouraging lurking is not scum play. It is a good idea to let everybody know from the start that lurking will be considered suspicious behaviour, because whether or not they are ultimately lynched for it, lurking is not helpful to town. I find TheChyz's logic flawed, and I really don't like the way he misrepresented what Balla said and then accused him of scum motivations for that misrepresentation. TheChyz please explain to us why discouraging (or even lynching) lurkers is beneficial to a scum Balla but not a townie Balla. ##vote TheChyz | ||

For example: He seems to be agreeing with something that nobody said, which hints that he wasn't carefully reading ("I agree with lurking to be discouraged by just lynching them for the most part") Then. I find it hard to believe that you that you purposefully were misreading what I was saying and, as suki said "putting words into my mouth". Seems like you're trying to backtrack. | ||

I also don't like his reasoning for the town read on dragoon... On January 06 2014 11:33 Day_Walker wrote: Not afraid of get into disagreements, and willing to stand up to the people he accuses (at least until he left the thread. Hmm) . Doesn't seem like cautious scum play. Of course you're going to stand up to the people you accuse... this seems REALLY forced. "Doesn't seem like cautious scum play", what does this even mean? | ||

Also keeping track of everything in forum mafia is surprisingly different, so hopefully I didn't miss anything I'm supposed to be replying to from the last couple of pages. Basically I've played a bit of mafia, am probably terrible at reading people, but TheChyz does seem a bit fishy for the reasons Day_Walker said. Might be too early to tell though. So what's your take on TheChyz's claim that he was purposefully acting scummy to find people who would bandwagon on him? Do you believe it, why or why not? | ||

However, let's think about it from both perspectives... From a scum perspective, 2 options: 1. You accidentally got yourself in a hard to get out of situation, so instead of trying to reason your way out of it you call it fake to backtrack. 2. You are deliberately putting yourself under suspicion to ultimately gain weak town cred. From town perspective: You are deliberately putting yourself under suspicion to scumhunt. Both scum situations seem really weird to do... #1 because it should be really easy to reason your way out of the situation he is as scum (at least imo) or at least backtrack by admitting fault etc.. #2 just seems weird... it's like..."ima be scummy so that i can try to discredit a townie and by doing so become more townie myself" Town perspective also seems weird... for me, the small amount of scumhunting he's done to follow it up (so far) makes me lean more towards scum on him rather than town, but we'll have to see how he follows it up more. For example though, I have no real idea why you chose Day_walker to go after rather than the other's who went after you, like suki, myself, sidesprang etc... | ||

But if I'm to go with my experience playing with friends, the most vocal people at the start who try to take control of the game tend to be mafia. Random accusations seem suspicious as well, so based on what's been posted so far, my eye is on Balla24, sidesprang and TheChyz. Also, I still want to know who you were referring to when you said "Random accusations seem suspicious as well". | ||
