Less incentive to. There's generally less need to read or pay attention to the game when you don't need to figure out who's what.vollkan wrote:Zach wrote: I think lack of attention to the rules is at least slightly more likely to come from scum.Vote: Zachuntil you give an explanation.
The "scum don't pay attention" line is just a lazy attack and is bogus as far as the meta of this site goes. Moreover, there is no theory reason why scum should pay less attention - they have just as much need to be convincing and to avoid appearing to use craplogic.
1) To an extent, town obviously have a greater need to be correct and thus pay attention. But scum have a strong incentive to appear as pro-town as possible, and so the difference is somewhat negligible.
2) Moreover, there are a whole heap of other reasons why somebody might overlook or misread something - laziness, posting in a hurry, simple mistake, etc.
As I said - because there are a huge number of reasons why people might not pay attention. It's extremely simplistic to assume that you can determine an action to be scummy simply by reference to what would rationally be done by somebody properly playing their alignment.Zach wrote: You think it's bogus? Explain to me why, cause your say so isn't something that's going to carry a lot of weight in my eyes.
If you are going to be convincing, you can't miss important things. Since you can't know a priori what is important and what is not, it is necessary (but obviously not sufficient) to pay attention even as scum.Zach wrote: Also, I don't see a need to be convincing as something that's mutually exclusive to paying attention to everything.
I'd say it's always a nulltell, but I can understand why someone like yourself who presumably doesn't would think that it was more of a nulltell in this sort of setupPom wrote: I think that in a game with unusual mechanics like this everyone would read the rules (equally) carefully, and therefore not reading the rules carefully would be a nulltell. Thoughts?-

unvote, vote:Pomegranate
I do agree slightly with Zach about not paying attention, to me it is more a slight scum tell then a null tell.-

Zach, why do you have to seem so much like scum jumping a quick, early wagon?
