Looking at your RVS play, I would be 100% convinced you were scum. I do sometimes catch a townie or two that just have weird playstyles. That's usually solved by a quick metacheck though, so long as the person in question is smart enough to point out that that's how they usually play. And never give newbies a free pass. It's one thing to ask questions. It's another thing to ask them in such a way that you're convincing other people to get on a wagon while staying off it. However, I think I'm getting a little full of myself, and thus overcomplicating it. It's mainly just gut. My main problem in mafia is that I'll catch scum, but can't explain why they're scum, so they completely slide under the radar. And then I get desperate, and make a crap case. Then I get lynched instead of my target, and they just completely ignore my suspicion after I die because it was a horrible case.

My RVS play or Esp? If your talking to me I wasnt in the rvs.

I dont give newbies a free pass, but I dont lynch them on site either. I am not good at reading them yet. The decentish new player I am great at reading.

I dont really respect RVS at all. Even if some players like you can get great scumreads from it, it is still a useless useless stupid thing that really should not exist. I am yet to find my best method of getting out of it.

I looked at your wiki for your RVS play. Best way to get out of it is to pressure people, no matter how stupid you think your reasons for doing so are.

I often just attack some random and dont let it drop literally commenting on every word and claiming it is scummy. I dont let it drop until people actually are scumhunting. Other times I attack everyone which I have found makes day 1 much more active. Thirs way is to just ignore the game until they get themselves out of it.

Heh. The third one could get you vigged. But the first two are good ideas. Probably like the second one better though.

I would vig you. ;D

Because I find scum best in RVS, I tend to find anybody who seems to be trying to fly under the radar during it pretty scummy.

But how would vigging me get your rvs back. Unless you were a night0 vig. That would not be good vig play imo.

It wouldn't. I wouldn't be vigging you to get my RVS play back. I'd be vigging you because you were lurking scum.

But I would have stopped lurking? I would only have lurked for that period.

But anyway I think attacking one guy relentlesslly until every dick has stopped putting random votes down or pining after the lack of them.

(I like how you actually checked my meta btw few people ever do check meta - I also do if you are wondering)

I love the RVS. It's where most of my gambit preperations take place.
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.
