Really? I mean, it's a relatively simple situation, to be honest...Dasquian wrote:Hence I drew the conclusion that you admitted to apathy, and did not draw the conclusion that you "understood the situation perfectly". In fact, I drew quite the reverse conclusion as you responded in the affirmative to me when I said you were, and I quote again, "too apathetic to get to a point where he might understand".
My point was that you can't tell someone else that they've given up.Dasquian wrote:I'm not going to get into a semantic argument about what "giving up" means and whether it's a technical term or not. My point was that you had, until now, pretty much opted out on playing this game with any significant level of involvement, to the intense frustration of myself and I am fairly sure a number of others.
Don't be. Not being particularly interesting is good play for both Town and Scum.Dasquian wrote:And gee golly whiz, I'm sorry all the interesting players died Day 1,
I wasn't using that as an excuse for not posting, I'm using it as an excuse for not commenting on Day 1. ..Dasquian wrote: but that's a dreadful excuse for not posting
Yeah, because I'm off the hook...Dasquian wrote:- it sounds like a grade A cop-out to me - to get you off the hook for commenting on who didn't die.
Oh...Dasquian wrote:Well, any player should do their homework on replacing into a game, even if it's just a cursory glance. However, townies have more to gain from a reread as they are the ones who need to root out scum. Scum already know who they are. So that's one reason.
Another reason is that scum don't have to be telling the truth about not having read the thread, as a obstruction tactic akin to lurking to avoid them contributing to the game in a way that gets them in trouble - or, in other words, it makes sense as scum to claim you haven't read the thread if you can get away with it. We only have your word for it that you haven't cynically chosen to play the way you have. So I would expect some proportion of replacers claiming not to have read the thread to be scum trying it on, alongside some townies and scum alike who genuinely haven't read the thread.
STFU!
