Ahahahahaha I just read UFO saying he vigged Eli 
I use two quotes from old mafiascummers but I generally don’t actually mean them when I say them
“meta is trash” and “cases are scummy”
there’s some element of truth to each, but also a lot of the essence of it is ignored when you boil it down to a soundbyte
Lol I often make cases and use meta as town. Well I’m just often town. I’ve only played like a dozen games and been scum twice.
What is the essence of “cases are scummy”? I’ve been accused of padding my post count/content ratio when I make big cases before, but I always compile cases sincerely as part of my method. It’s just how I process the game.
It’s impossible not to play with meta when you know the players in the game. People who try to act like it’s not useful are lying to themselves.
I kind of do the same. Like I don’t always make a big case, but I certainly have been known to make them as town.
uhhh that if you try hard enough you can make a “case” against anyone and a lot of the cases that people post are just super confirmation bias of deciding someone is scum and then interpreting everything they do as scum motivated
rather than a more objective take.
So they aren’t too useful
or something like that. @Ellibereth explained it really well once
agreed
meta is super useful lol
but it’s also trash
This is definitely true. I always acknowledge it in my cases though. I think that’s part of what got me in some hot water at the end of our Day 1. My “cases” are always me trying to look at a person through a particular angle, and I try to clearly state my agenda in the post as much as I can. “If I try to read this player as scum, then I see X. If I want to read them as town, then Y.”
y’all would have seen it come out if we’d had a Day 2 in our thread.

UFO still hasn’t addressed my case against him.
Honestly, your case against him was a good case and made me townread you more.
But for UFO, I don’t see that stuff as that damning.
I think he got more scummy as the day went on, speaking as someone who has correctly townread him like 8/8 times. I’d never seen him as scum when I was town, but was starting to get there later in the day. His attitude seemed a bit different.
I wasn’t super convinced by the case itself. See my point above about how I approach making cases: It’s possible to read any behavior as either Town or Scum. When I am “casing” a player, I choose to focus on the scum interpretation, and if I find it believable I share it. That’s all I was doing with UFO’s Day 1 behavior. I became much more suspicious when he completely ignored it for the rest of the phase.

I really hope they don’t early hammer because I want to see UFO squirming as scum as long as possible. Lol plus he likes being scum anyway.
