I think he means creating confusion/mayhem and distracting discussion. I don't really agree with that though. I think this fast discussion is a decently good start for the game.
Btw for those of you who claim that every game I don't have a plan in I'm a scum, here's a plan

Notice the lack of millers. This setup is vulnerable to the follow the DT plan where the DT claims and the medics heal him every night.
Since flips are open, we just need to make sure we don't accidentally lynch our DT and medic and hypothetically speaking we will have a massive advantage later on in this game where follow the DT shines.
Btw DT/Medic plz don't claim. Unless you are about to be lynched.

Maybe I ought to calm down a bit. However, I'm tired of slow first days. It feels good to get something going fast.
Do you think my pressure on you is indicative of my alignment?
Hard to say. I'd say slightly leaning town based on the fact that you're apparently trying to unravel my alignment. But I think you're a veteran player? How many games have you played? In that sense, it could possibly be almost anything.

I think I played around 15-20, but I've played since the dinosaur era. Games are in my profile but I'm too lazy to dig it up.

You could at least start in alphabetical order. What if I reveal my identity? Would you change your vote to a different smurf?
Worst post in thread. ##Vote: purpletrator
Kusplain?
Hello sir, I promise not to get mad at you this game
If purpletrator can reasonably explain what he is going to achieve with that post i'm going to unvote. Now i gotta sleep! cya tomorrow.
Please don't be useless Alakaslam ok?
You mean to tell me you have no concern over the erroneous logic LSB used to vote me? You honestly think my response is worse than "smurfs=mafia"? To actually answer your question, I'm wondering why LSB is wasting my time and wanted to see if he's actually trying to get a response or just trolling. When he ignored my response I chalked it up to 'just trolling'. Then you called me out, he noticed my response and now wants to fish for my identity. Now it looks scummy.

Ya, sure. Reveal please!
It was a hypothetical. I'm not revealing my identity. Good to know you dont give a shit about the lynch.
Nobody going to discuss cora's mindset or are you going to dismiss it outright for xantos discussion some more?

That speaking, oddly enough it does encourage a Xatalos lynch
Whom do you feel are townies from this and why? It hasn't really been one on one. It's been HF and Xatalos against Cora, and myself, Alakaslam and you against Xatalos. If you feel it's townie on townie, then you'd think Xatalos was town.
So far I think I am townie, I haven't really thought past that. I just don't think this day 1 attitude is gonna be very productive.
The whole entire Xatalos suspicion does require a meta read on Xatalos to see if he is brilliant enough to try for the plan on day 1, or does he just play like this.
I just skimmed through the filter he linked and I don't think it looks like the start of this game at all. He's far more aggressive here. What were you trying to say exactly with your initial post if you didn't mean to give anyone a town read but yourself? I'm confused. I don't think a plan other than "starting shit" is required for scum. That's always a good thing.
In my opinion natural scum play is to stay low, especially on day 1, the town tends to self destruct anyways day 1. This whole entire "starting shit" strat is actually pretty good, even though it is counterintuitive to the idea of trying to not draw attention. Thus I assumed this strat is not very obvious, especially since I personally never considered it.
This is all pure speculation. Something more grounded is that Xatalos is definably acting very different from before, and in my eyes less of a townie

OK. Well, it's definitely possible that this is a "play" to get town credit. But then again, the more likely scenario is that you're town and trying to figure out the game. Your experience makes the former option more likely, but still less likely than the later option, I'd say.

-You're not a Zerg, but you sure as hell hate the UED. Or actually you don't, but Kerrigan is a master at pussywhipping, so you just tag along with her shenanigans and think (because you're told to) you hate the UED.
Once per night you can silence a player since you're human looking enough to convince them to put the gun/medicgun/magnifying glass down.
[/plan] If we lynch a roleblocker we can look at playing follow the cop I guess

I don't feel like Xatalos put himself in the spotlight as much as trying to put others in the spotlight. Corazon put himself in the spotlight without any scum gain. When you look at his post from a scum point of view, it doesn't make sense for them to make it. I can see a scum agenda behind Xatalos' posts. That said, I do like his view on my pressure on him in that it was nuanced rather than trying to score town points. The rest of the day should provide more information.

Given you quoted me I take it you'd like a response from me? I don't find Corazon scummy at this point in time because he drew attention to himself without any scum benefit.

Well, that game is special in the sense that it started during night and nights were PM-only within given Houses. I definitely put pressure on gumshoe and Grackaroni during the night, I'd say. And I was relatively aggressive during the first day, as well. Probably not as aggressive as here, I agree.
Do you mean that passive = townish and aggressive/proactive = scummy? Or what? I can't really see myself playing like this as scum. It'd have to be pretty carefully crafted at least.

Productive = Town. Non-Productive = Scum
Spam excluded because it is special.
Do you think my play has been unproductive so far? If yes, why?
