Others have asked this, but I'm going to ask it in a different way. How does asking about Mafia experience and asking questions of games did you play with Player "X" help this game? What information so far have you gotten from them?
What makes me wonder is this:
Or let me put it another way, you don't think scum would not confirm because they are chatting in the Q/T & would be otherwise occupied? Isn't it a reasonable motivation for ultimately falling asleep instead of confirming?
It seems as if you took my stance very seriously, but with held a vote. I am not sure why exactly you withheld it.
Levi is obviously town, his explanation proves that whereas Shrimp's explanation proves he is scum.
The point is that the original case on Levi IS a good reason to vote (the only problem is Levi is town).
When did you see that it was a good reason to vote?
You never really explain why those explanations prove each or even point that direction.
I've only skimmed your post yet but I figured I would answer this since I saw it.
Asking if one player has played with another shows their familiarity with their gameplay for meta reasons which will help me to direct further queries. Trying to identify & clarify a certain "familiarity" that players seem to exhibit towards each other also could help identify scum teams.
Ok the point on Levi was very good but Shrimp dismissed it like it was garbage and then based all of his subsequent actions on that. I had a scum read on Shrimp and needed to find out if he really believed what he was saying regarding the Levi case because it looked to me like he mas maufacturing a viewpoint to justify his behavior. Also, Mantis dismissed the case and I brought it up again to further promote my scum read on Shrimp.
Even though the case on Levi is very good, of course it doesn't mean that he is ironclad 100% scum. If you look in the thread you see that I queried Levi quite strongly (what Mantis called "inferring") and was ready to vote him based on his response. His subsequent response made me back off of him quite quickly as I think everyone else did as well. Thats when I turned my attention to Shrimp.
