First of all thanks Brian, for trying to clarify things.
I will try to clear point by point of Brian's and Gloak's posts and will be available to answer any further question from them or anyone else.
BrianMcQueso wrote:One of the basic principles of Mafia is that the bad guys have a lot more information about what's going on than the good guys. From all the "speculation" you've put forth so far
The reason for speculation is not excess of information, but lack of information. I don't know how many enemies I have and what type are they, so I try to figure it out based on what i know from the RE4 game and the most usual setups of Mafia games.
Now we know almost nothing, but as the game progresses and we get more information and reduce choices, so we may end up having useful information.
How is that scummy? If were Mafia and had extra information I would hide it, not try to share.
BrianMcQueso wrote:plus what seems like a few Freudian slips, it seems like you do know more about what's going on than we do.
I don't have enough knowledge of the English language to let inner things from my mind slip through it, more on this later.
BrianMcQueso wrote:Another typically scummy behavior you've presented is attacking Glork for his suspicions of you. Just because a person suspects you of being scum doesn't make them scum.
I never attacked Glork.
He said he was suspicious about me and explained why.
I answered his comments and said why I was suspicious about him, he answered.
Why am I scummy and he isn't? It's not fair.
Also centoaphs comments were wrong. I never meant that.
And probably people are thinking I attacked Glock too much because I was trying to convince centoaph that I didn't want him to claim.
BrianMcQueso wrote:. But your reaction to Glork makes me think that you're not just trying to defend yourself, you're trying to get Glork for his quick jump on you.
That's exactly what I accused Glork of in post #24. He had 2 votes in him and if I OMGUS him I could have been seen as scummy for trying to quick lynch.
I said that at the time but didn't think he was scum for that. Because I know it's common trap on the start of the game. I didn't take it that seriously, but when in the second post he brought up the A thing than
I
thought he was attacking me too much and that's when mentioned my previous suspicion.
When I asked people's opinion about that I was hoping someone would get to that conclusion too.
Of course people would be able to vote me or him, question me or him, in order to clear that.
Instead of that what i got was more accusations from centoaph, and more posts by me trying to convince him, and everybody thinking I was "attacking too much".
BrianMcQueso wrote:I'd like to hear more discussion, especially from you.
Discussion is what I always wanted. I won't evade any question.
Glork wrote:No, it's not the fact that you posted. It's the content of the post. For some unknown reason, the first person to comment on the Night One kill(s) tends to be a scumbag. It's not a major tell, but it contributes nonetheless.
I hear about it a lot. I will later check old games and see how much of truth is in it, statistically. But it seem just a good reason to random vote, and I don't like to random vote, even in day 1.
Glork wrote:I didn't purposefully misunderstand anything.
To me you did. I thought I was writing the right way.
Glork wrote:The artcicle "the" implies that there is exactly one of something. The President, for example. On the other hand, "a" usually implies that you are talking about one of many.
I think it's not fair to use this knowledge as evidence against a foreigner. I always post in forums with Google open in a browser so I can confirm the spelling of many words (that's how I do, not as accurate as a dictionary, but I like it because of Image search). English articles have correspondents in Portuguese, but looks like not all rules are not exactly the same. It would be very sad to be lynched because something like that.
Glork wrote:At this point, I'm not going to say if I have any role-related information on you.
And I asked and never wanted to know. What I do know is that if you have any you didn't use in me because I am pro-town.
Glork wrote:I tend to make bold, sometimes irrational, oftentimes joking/biding/sarcastic comments.
As I said before, I would have ignored that if it were not for your following post.
If you could point your suspicious about my letter A, why couldn't I point mine against your use of words.
For Gods sake, if they didn't see anything wrong with it they could have said insted of accusing me of other things. If I were completely sure about your guilt I wouldn't ask anyone, I would vote. I myself said we couldn't afford a speedlynch (if people agreeing with me bandwagoned you) and only FOSed you. and if you like to make sarcastic comments you should have recognized the sarcasm here
I don't share your ability of finding so much in a letter, but if I try I can find one thing or two in some words.
Why is my sarcasm considered attack?
Glork wrote:And in this case, I'm thinking I may have struck something.
Feel free to suspect me as much as you want. Nobody is confirmed in this game. Neither me, nor you or any other player.
I will do the same.
Akonas wrote:Not to defend him or anything, but that's the way I would have written it. If you don't know how many there are, it's correct English to say "a" leader rather than "the" leader, because there may be multiple mafias or leaders or whatever.
If you are American thank's for pointing that out. Make me feel much better about my English knowledge.
