You are allowed to say it whenever you want. And I am allowed to call it out when I donât think itâs warranted. And having a strategy that is not optimal is clearly not Scummy the vast majority of the time. If anything, showing a willingness to present a strategy is Towny.
Iâll put it this way - opening yourself up for criticism by suggesting ways in which you think a game can be solved (outside of reading people, which is the hardest part) is always Townier than simply throwing rocks at someone elseâs ideas (which I love to do). Only when the strategy is decidedly anti-Town (particularly when people should know better) will I agree with the comment that itâs Scummy. Iâm not saying btw that Star doesnât know better - Iâm saying that the strategy is flawed, but is not anti-Town in any obvious way. Also, it opens you up for a fair amount of associative tells if you actually flip Scum, which why would you do so blatantly? Not saying thereâs not terrible Scum out there, but it just seems unnecessary.
What if your master plan isnt a plan at all and just is groundwork to point back to in the future for when you want to push various different people because you left yourself all the angles open?
You are going to tell everyone you have a family emergency. And youâre going to deep!fake the shit out of this. Youâre going to post this in every thread youâre active in. If youâre in the Speakeasy, post that shit there. Come up with an amazing sob story. If youâre not in the speakeasy, post in General Discussion about a tragedy you need help coping with. Ask for advice. And for D1 (and D2 depending on how long D1 lastsâŠbut we can evaluate that at a later point) youâre going to be busy. Youâll post occasionally and you donât want to replace out of this game because itâs only the first couple phases and youâre really excited to see how it turns out.
With this, you become our gambit. There is no way anyone lynches the person going through a tragedy. Donât post immediately at the start of the phase. Wait like a day.
Maybe Iâm not content to think that youâre town just yet.
Iâd rather you didnât, based off of only a 12 hour cross-section of activity.
If you still want me dead at the end of day, thatâs fine by me.
But is it really? Especially, what, 14~? hours into the day.
I get bursts of activity then fuck off for a while.
Youâve fuckin snookered me 2-3 times now as scum, so forgive me if I donât believe you.
See, DS gets it. But people donât like it when I ask this.
Spell it out for us.
I second this. No hand wavey âlook at xâ bullshit that isnât either an explicit link or explicitly stated in said post. The only reason to do so is to attempt to force a misunderstanding about what youâre trying to impart.
Youâre right that nobody in their right mind lynches this. They either get modkilled or force-replaced instead, after which it stops affecting the game.
Do you have any reads? I like the energy in your last post, but itâs still missing that conviction that you had as town in the only game we played together.
I think itâs pretty hard to command respect in your town game if you never justify yourself, itâs so easy to fake as scum which we saw in the last ranked game.
