Metagaming...

Playstyle in other games is useful. Why not? How are you supposed to know if a player is "acting scummy" unless you know how he acts when he is scum?

My impression was that they jump onto any bandwagon at all, which means there is no room for instincts to get involved. Even if that's not true, and even if they do have scum-finding instincts (which I'm not convinced of), why can't they try putting them into words?

I was a SK in a game with Baby Jesus once. I know his playstyle seems scary when you're pro-town, but trust me, when you're a bad guy and he suddenly changes from appearing to trust you to suddenly turning and attacking you without explaining why right away, it's downright terrifying, and it's very difficult to respond to those attacks in a rational way. The way other people react to Baby Jesus's seemingly random attacks can be extremly informative. And, except on day 1, he usually does seem have a reasonfor his votes, he just often dosn't share it.

Note to self: come back here after Clue is over (BJ is dead, but I'm not, so therefore it's probably not kosher).

Yes, I know, I accused a lot of people. How do you expect to get anyone on the defensive or get a reaction if you don't accuse them?

Mini 269, BJ voted for me. I'm all like, "um... why?" and he was all "you should be lynched" and I'm all "why?" and he was all "because you're scum" and I'm like "why do you think that?"

I was a good guy, and his insistent distrust didn't worry me in the least. I was a little confused and a little annoyed. When he finally pointed to something I wasn't even confused and annoyed, but agreed I'd been acting weird.

It would have been really hard to

fake

that unconcern.

did I unvote you then?

[BabyJesus]

wouldn't it just be easier to metagame around that by ignoring BJ at all times?
