I have a lot of respect for Bugs and his play. I feel that he has recently detracted from town atmospheres instead of adding to them and I feel a certain camaraderie with him for that; I'm getting burnt out on stupid and I think that is what has been happening to him (though I hate to speak for someone else).

I think YAN is a great example of this. Both Palmar and Bugs, as town, realized how shit the town was and half-assed their parts as townies. Their half ass was still better than anyone else in the game but it is hard for me as an up and coming player to watch the players I respect and look up to contribute to the problems they hate.

Bugs does know how to play correctly and that is why I expect so much more of him. He is one of those players whom I know to be good and I know to be better than they are showing in their recent town games (VE is another great example if we wanna talk about the trash that was lviii or marv, BC and Palmar in lviii) it pains me to see the guys who I believe to be above the bullshit fall in it. I expect a certain level of total shit (Morb and Eywa in YAN) but to have vets whom I respecct allowing that total shit to overwhelm them and detract from their own play is deeply demoralizing to me as a player in those games.

I didn't intend for this to be a serious conversation but I guess since I fucked that up I may as well follow through.

I wasn't talking about bugs... this is about your anger

What is the use of parading about talking about how bad everyone is? Imagine a scenario where you walk into class, and the teacher hands you your test. He explains how your grade is so awful, it's not even worth his time to teach you. What then? Aren't both of you worse off for him saying that? There is no point in raging against the external factors that frustrate you and in many cases it only contributes to the problem. Instead of going on a campaign of martyrdom, you should look to improve yourself first. Set the example, be the change you want to create and encourage others do to so as well. If everyone's goals are about the same (fun and mentally stimulating mafia games) and everyone individually/independently works towards their own goals, then we are all working towards our common goals.

If all else fails, that's the point where you can abstain from games to avoid playing with people who you are mistakenly identifying as the only source of the problem.

eh, sniped by syllogism

##vote: iamperfection

I don't like how quick he was to defend me at the very beginning (in regards to jokey post) ... and now he's voting for me based on some lazy meta rule. There's not much in his filter that looks like scumhunting, the last half or so of it is him rallying to get me lynched because of meta. That's a lazy excuse for a vote, town should be trying harder than that. It reminds me of the lazy and simplistic voting style of scum iamp who will stubbornly hide behind votes without much reasoning (gsl 2):
