"Food for thought"His participation is light but looks OK, maybe a heavy focus on the 3rd parties, lots of confusion - missing Lakai subbing in, formatting votes, mistakes - a sign that he’s putting on a show maybe, I disagree with his stance on leans - especially in this game since no-one except the masons could really know that another player is town, but it’s his votes, from SNF for town leans, to Crys for 3rd party, then to Thing Fish for town leans (why is SNF good now?) and still coming up with plenty of reasons why he should still be voting Crys or Sach, feels forced to me, like he’s keeping up appearances.

First of all, thanks to Total Lost for reminding me to answer this post.

There isn’t actually a lot for me to respond. The points Guiri makes are mostly valid, though I believe I have explained that my stance on leans during this game is actually GOOD for town.

1. Both scum teams know they don’t know who is town fer sure
2. Both scum teams know Town knows point 1
3. This makes town relax as to declaring someone “town” (hey, I don’t actually know fer sure!)
4. But they will (probably) make this proclamations concerning someone who isn’t on their team

Point 3 and 4 are important. Since Scum aren’t as wary as they have been in other games, they WILL and HAVE declared someone to be town without qualms. Witness both Thing Fish and jsgoddess doing it… jgoddess even defended Thing Fish ferchrissakes!

And that’s why I focus on some of these posts.

However, my playing philosophy is currently:

1. State my case
2. Hope it is accepted by town and or revised
3. Not fixate on it

I still believe we have to do SOMETHING about the LUTHA cult. I also believe snfaulkner is very probably scum. But since no one else has backed me on that regard, I won’t fixate on the accusation.
