I don't believe in meta anymore, that's a dark past

I also don't fully understand if hurting someone is connected to rage, and if not what is rage? I DO understand the healing mechanic though

Kanye, also we are in-thread masons this round

[MattP]

Oh shit, my two minute investigation of your meta proves that you are one impressive fucker

Well done

[quadz08]

Rage is basically a secret extra hurt. I'm saying we should announce all uses of rage should be announced in thread to reduce confusion and give town more knowledge. The less scum can hide from us, the better.

[MattP]

I disagree, but by this point the reason I disagree is pointless because you guys have exposed the reasoning.

If a "secret rage" happens we can force our biggest scumreads to heal the player and basically drag out the rager since the rager would not be able to heal. If scum are going to rage it's going to be the more suspected scum because they're more likely to go soon and therefore it's more useful to use up their rage. So if we forced our four or five biggest scumreads to heal we would have definitely found a scum and it would have been a nifty one-time trick.

[quadz08]

Why can't we still do that in the case of a secret rage occurring? If anything, it's better with public rage, because then we're punishing them for something we've actually decided is anti-town.

[MattP]

Because scum aren't moronic, especially considering the player list, and now that we've exposed the idea noone will do it? It would have been more effective to just let it happen and approach it then, so that scum weren't cognizant of the harms of covertly putting the nail in the coffin for a mislynch. It would have been like a human mousetrap.

[quadz08]

Except that shit like that never works because if nobody on the town points it out, there's no way town will be on the same page to execute the plan to catch the scum who did it. *shrug*

It's a mousetrap made of cheese: a pretty transparently dumb idea.

[MattP]

I think you're wrong and Kanye will agree with me and that's all that I care about so. The plan would work as long as one person with a brain brought it up and argued it well at the proper time.

[quadz08]

*shrug* As you say, doesn't matter anymore anyway. Increased knowledge = better for town anyways.

[MattP]

C'est la vie

This was a good conversation I felt good about this

nah matt im with quidz here. rage has to be public. its a way for us to keep scum accountable for a certain portion of their rage and will help us discern between scum/town rage.

FOr example, assume that most townspeople would have accrued 3 rage at a certain point in the game and a ton of rage just got dumped. forcing proof that everyone has the amount of rage they should have (3 minus whatever they claimed to use before) then scum are either caught here or must spend 3 less rage for scum purposes than they otherwise would be able to. this may or may not be possible but theoretically i like it as an idea.

[kanyeknowsbest]

is that what u were arguing about? i think its what u were arguing about.

[kanyeknowsbest]

matt find us something to talk about thats not gay mechanics bullshit i wanna get some scumreads on the quicksies.

[quadz08]

Mattkanyequadz townbloc is go. FULL SPEED AHEAD TOWN VICTORY IMMINENT

[MattP]

I'm actually eagerly waiting for someone to return to the thread so until then I will just SHUT UP because I just realized I'm an idiot

pedit: I actually have a LOT of good townreads right now and if I pushed anyone it would be really rough and counterproductive, so I'm just going to wait until the lil sheep I'm spying comes back to graze in the fiery pits of hell.

[Tierce]

Hey quadz. Why is kanye Town?

[quadz08]

Brand new town-inspired plan for catching a scum with their pants down. That came from a town mindset.

[Tierce]

...I repeat,

kanye

?

That was MattP, not kanye.

Hell to Tierce, Hell to Tierce: please attempt reading the words again.
