I'd like to apply for professorship at this university

I am a double doctorate with PHDs in both Murder and Powerf***ing, as well as a Masters degree in Spamming.

I failed to obtain degrees in Logic or Casebuilding and my applicant paper for Walling was widely discredited

What's the best way to get oneself lynched claiming cop with a guilty result, haha.....

just accidentally scumslip


like, drop the Amished tell since alot of people still swear by it


or post something you "intended to post in the scum QT"


of course since you are DGB no one will lynch you for either of those things, they'll just think "oh that DGB she so wacky"

kuribo might actually give me some help on this question.

As a timid player, I'm not averse to trying to stand toe to toe with intelligent posters that are more articulate and methodical than I, however I have great difficulty in actually making headway (I always noticed my play as an SE in newbies as apposed to my play elsewhere on the site is vastly different) into getting those that I think are scum lynched or wagoned as after a few posts of back and forth I find myself getting beat down. What are the best ways to fix this trend to make myself feel louder, especially in larger games where there are more competing voices?

you don't have to be the smartest player in the game, just the loudest. When you play by gut and emotion, you're not trying to convince the town to vote with you based on "reasons," you're trying to push the scum into such a tight, uncomfortable position that they slip up and reveal themselves. It does happen. Alternatively, you may find that their reaction to you makes them seem more town in your eyes.

Finally, being loud and angry tends not to work so well after someone's had a couple of games with you. Once they know you're going to yell at them, they can adapt more easily and not be caught off-guard. Some players just aren't good at being loud, so if you don't pull it off, expect the town to try and wagon you because "lolololol dat fakerage"

So, to fix that--- don't ever fake rage. Some players can tell the difference very very easily. If you go into a thread expecting to rage, it'll come off as forced and whether you're scum or not, they'll call you out on it. Instead, take whatever emotion you're feeling and dial it up a few notches.

like so:
Happy -> grudgingly pleased ("hi guys let's play some mafia!" -> "jesus christ, you guys again? fine, lets find scum")
Mild irritation -> sneer ("Why are you voting me?" -> "ohhhh no you fucking didn't")
Annoyed -> angry ("Seriously, there's a wagon on me?!" "OHHHH YOU WANT A SHOT AT THE CHAMP, HUH?! BRING IT! WHO WANTS TO EAT?!")
Mad -> MURDER MURDER MURDER ("I can't believe you people have me at L-1!" -> "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! I'M GOING TO WHIP OUT MY SOUL POLE AND FILL YOUR ASS WITH MY DEMON SEMEN@$!@$!@#%@#%%@!##@ AAAA BRING IT FUCKER BLACK RAGE BLACK RAGE"
sadness -> soul crushing misery ("whoa the doc died?" -> "ohhh great, the one fucking person who was obviously town and you morons couldn't even sheep him, I hate you all, you pigs."

People find a free-and-easy posting style to be incredibly town, so the more you're posting, the more most people will see you have nothing to hide.
Just don't post for the sake of posting. People call that "fluff" and getting accused of that engorges my soul pole with hatejuice.

In short: if you want to be louder or more noticeable in games, you have to make yourself a presence. Develop a rapport with the other town leaders. Above all, have faith in your reads and even better--- be right about them. If you're doing it right, scum will NK you anyway.

Mastin, please teach me how to stop wall posting.

i can help you with that, just do what i do




click submit after every paragraph

[kuribo]

The best advice I can give is to keep playing, eventually your natural style will show through and it only gets easier from there


If you look at my earliest games, you'll see I once was the kind of player who built cases and was very conservative with my vote

Trying to play that way led to apathy on my part and would look as natural now as an oral bowel movement

Find your you. Once you know yourself you will know your voice.
