Fight the PEER PRESSURE TO DO STUFF.

It's kind of scary.

This is a towny post.

Why is it towny?

It feels genuine. He's confused by Wake's stance and trying to understand it, not manipulating it.

I do have initial feelings regarding certain players, but you practically demand that I vote yet will undoubtedly scoff at the feelings behind the reasoning for said vote. You probably want me to vote in order to pick apart and attack it, which in itself is disingenuous, and further makes me want to choose my actions wisely, because I like to have solid reasoning behind each and every one of my actions in general. If I felt your intentions were honest, that you wanted to know who I'd vote for without also planning to attack it, I'd be more inclined to do so.

WTF is up with this? I don't even know what to say to this. You don't want anyone to question your vote? I wasn't planning on attacking you Wake.

TSO picked apart my vote on him twice and said he didn't like it. Cheetory didn't like the tone of some of my posts and said so. Do you see me freaking out and squeezing a stress ball in the corner? Well, if I was squeezing a stress ball you wouldn't see it but just visualize it Wake.

I'm not sure what this is all about. I want to say townie paranoia but I'm not wanting to townread this behavior or call it scummy. Maybe just null for now and keep an eye on it.

You have it completely wrong.

If I get into this game, it will create chaos. If I start to move things and stir the waters, things will happen. By nature I am a catalyst. Taking off these restraints and seeing to it that things happen in this game may cause some to not want to play with my style. It may sound self-aggrandizing to you, but it isn't, but the truth, and is both an immense strength and an immense weakness. I can be a very powerful player, but I can't really play if I turn some players off because of it.

There is no paranoia. There's only the restrained yet fearless desire to pierce through everything and everyone in order to pull out the truth. You stab at things to see how they bleed in Mafia. Some people don't like being aggressively interrogated. I'm not stressed at all. I don't want to seem to over-powering, because it's not fun having few to play with (we're not talking trolling or uncivil behavior: just being a strong-willed personality).

I can buy that, but the answer isn't to withdraw from the game. Otherwise, why play at all?

By turning into a passive participant, you're also depriving town of your abilities. When players are aware of your capabilities and not seeing it, that can come across as scum play.

3 fluffposts, the first is RVS, and in the second he wants to PL TSO for lurking.

I can accept that read.

Thank you.

Although, your explanation of Jared's post in your post #307 doesn't make sense. What the what the what?

To me, it does - I'm sorry if it's not clear but I'm not going to be going back through it again - as far as I'm concerned it's a perfectly valid reason.

Thanks.

Sorry if I'm being a bit lazy this game.
yes I bandwagoned TSO.
I really do need to do some more reading.

elusive · Post Post #358 (ISO) » Wed Feb 11, 2015 11:38 pm

House, this one is not a He. You may use She.

TSO, your explanation of his post is longer then his post and also unless you're bringing meta into it overly complicated.

There's not much to understand here. It looks more like shelter for scum to blend in easily to me.

House · Post Post #361 (ISO) » Thu Feb 12, 2015 12:22 am

I lack the desire to decipher what that ^ means.

FakedBlogger · Post Post #362 (ISO) » Thu Feb 12, 2015 12:26 am

It looks like elusive is trying to blend in, using the 'why doesn't wake vote yet' discussion as a means to fake investment

House · Post Post #363 (ISO) » Thu Feb 12, 2015 12:26 am

I suppose that's possible, I found more meaning in the content of his post than the subject of it.

You did it too here:

Totally.

Possible you are, too.

What's your beef with my read?

You insinuate I have a beef with your read. I don't like that.

I don't think so.

You should be more careful

You're an interesting character.

Push me more, this is fun.

FakedBlogger · Post Post #371 (ISO) » Thu Feb 12, 2015 12:49 am

Mhhh. I like your reaching argument. Why did you back off so quickly in favor of a satirical vote

If you think I'm scum, this post is the height of irony.

After all, telling a person you believe could be scum to be careful would lead town to draw associatives between us if I actually

flipped

scum (hurray for you, no danger of that).

That said, i can't see scum fucking up like this because there is zero benefit in it for them if/when I flip.

Ok, but one should differentiate between a lie and what seemed to be obviously not serious. Maybe I should coach you about obviousness, I attained the rank of captain after all.

What about the DS's OMGUSsy-smelling post?
