No. Townies shouldn't care how they appear. Focus on scum hunting. If you try to be scummy, you are only helping scum (if you are town) because you distract the town from the actual scum.Earlder1 wrote:Well, I actually think I'm doing well this game. My appearance may be slightly scummier than I'd like, but it's always good to be somewhat suspicious. The last game I played was my first and I got really into it. The problem, however, was that I was soooo town seeming. Everyone knew I was town and the mafia attempted to kill me night 1 because thay knew I would never be lynched. Luckily, I got doc saved, but this game I don't wanna make the same mistake. I wanna contribute to scum hunting but still be slightly suspicioud so that I don't get NK'd due to being completely town seeming.
@ LordChronos
Fair enough. Consider it dropped.
Can you explain this a bit further? Cuz I currently have LC as pretty neutral right now. I thought his pulling up of Alta's two separate quotes where he interpreted them as "hypocritical" didn't really hold true to me - Alta's initial vote was pretty clearly a random vote and can't quite be compared to his other stance on remouk's possible alignmenet since it's not like Alta everPost 76, brianj wrote:LordChronoscurrently gets pro-town judgement from me- all of his posts were intended in some form to provoke reaction from others.
I don't really agree with this. If all or most of the townies are obvtown, that makes it much easier for all of the other townies to be able to focus their attention on the people who are legitimately scummy due to the fact that they actually are scum. Being slightly suspicious might give a person a better shot at surviving through the Night, yes, because the scum are less likely to kill people that they know they can potentially set up as mislynches in the future, but I don't really see why surviving through the Night should be that much of a concern for you. If you're town, you should realize thatPost 80, Earlder1 wrote:I didn't say I am intentionally being scummy. I just noted that it's better to be slightly suspicious than obvious town.
Your scenario described the situation where the one Townie particularly stood out, which gave the doctor something to make his decision about instead of randomly choosing and hoping it will work.Earlder1 wrote:Well, I believe that is a difference of opinion. The fact of the matter is that there is rarely a majority of obvtown. In my previous game, there was maybe one other person who everyone thought was probably town and that's it. I know that I got lucky in my previous game because of the doc save but there is no guarentee we are in a setup with a doc.Obviously I don't want to appear so scummy as to be lynched day 1 because no matter my allignment, that hurts its chances of winning, but I will try and refrain from seeming obvtown.Maybe I'm alone in the line of thought, but after my first game, I value it.
What do you think about his subsequent explanations then?Post 88, brianj wrote:I might have had different opinion about LordChronos's motivations if his accusation were bit more serious and well-based, but it was obvious to me that his wording as "hypocritical" was illogical. As you said his interpretation of Alta didn't really sound valid at all- no one is going to get more suspicious of Alta because of that.

What do you find scummy about him? Previously you said you didn't think there was enough evidence to go after him but now you're considering his behavior "scummy" - what's changed?Post 90, Alta wrote:Everyone is a little bit suspicious but a prime suspect to me is remouk. However despite his scummy behavior I am not convinved he is Mafia.
Ah ok. I could see what you're saying now. Break it down for me though: what specifically do you find scummy about him?Post 93, Alta wrote:Nothing's changed I always found Remouk scummy I just don't think that his actions are enough to condemn him.
The game is about poiting things. If no one voted XXX when you decided to vote him with no explanation, I don't get how it can change someone's mind to the point that he sees the same thing as you. I see it as a "let's vote XXX, maybe someone will vote him too, I'll agree with his explanations and won't be seen as a follower/scum jumping on a wagon". And I won't forget that Ingognito is an experienced player. I totally understand Coach Travis's reactions to Incognito's posts.Incognito wrote:Coach Travis, I sometimes don't provide reasoning for my votes to try and see who might be thinking along the same lines as me when I place an unexplained vote. I figure that if a person can see what I see when I didn't even have to explain it, there's a decent chance that the person who has seen what I've also seen is likely thinking along the same lines I am and could potentially be pro-town. I wouldn't realistically leave an unexplained vote on a person up until the point that the person gets lynched, but I do think it's a good initial indicator.
