I really hate this game because the protagonists are showing themselves from their worst sides. Everything you do and argue has become completely centered around the personalities of the players moreso than cold logic and facts. You're not reading into intent, you just provoke player X into some kind of response and present a pathetic excuse of a case and let people sheep. Where's the scummy intent in soup's reaction to Ryu's claim? Why is there an issue with him being inconsistent? Everybody knows that soup has pretty fragile nerves these days and all he's done is calling BS on Ryu's claim. How is that a problem?

Ryu, you're playing like a ******. The whole "make a completely ridiculous, outrageous claim to see who bites" has stopped working the moment dGames has started to hunt scum almost exclusively based on meta [aka at least 1.5 years ago]. It doesn't help you find scum, it doesn't make you look pro-town and it doesn't give us anything to talk about. Either point out where soup's "inconsistency" is of any consequence and leads to the conclusion that he's scummy or admit that you're full of BS. Even if you happen to be right about soup being scum, you are not doing a good job of showing us why, nor does the reason YOU presented give us any reason to believe you. Of course, with dGames being a bunch of tools it doesn't really matter how much substance there is behind a case, as long as there's a "case" with some kind of meta-reference everybody buys it.

PJB, I'm not going to ignore you unless you knock off your attitude of reading the most negative into everything you come across. You're being unconstructive to an unbearable extent and that *is* potentially harmful, even if you wanna make me believe otherwise. That gives people legit the impression that you are being scummy. And that makes all your counter-votes and arguments that you consider legit look like OMGUS. Why is that you always find yourself in the same situation? You're never making an impact on the game - never get lynched, never get NK'd, never find scum. Are you satisfied with that? It's not interesting, fun or challenging to play with you and worst of all you're not being a help to the town.

Kantrip, there was a time when I thought you were about to become good at this game. Now all I see you do is being deliberately stupid just to look too stupid to be scummy. Your attempts to make yourself looks special, important or interesting [or whatever you're trying to achieve] are pathetic and fruitless. I will not hesitate to lynch you on principle - just because your exceedingly scummy play fits your meta doesn't mean you can expect people to let you get away with it. Just because you intentionally do thinkgs that will inevitably be considered scummy by some doesn't mean you are not scummy. Pretending to have a purpose won't really help you. So either get lynched or just come out with your actual reads for once and explain them. This game isn't about you, it's about town finding the scumbags and get them.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. I've found scum plenty of times in my last couple games. The whole thing about me never getting lynched and never getting NKed is just me being a boss ass townie on top of it all.

@Soup: Can you tell me what your intention was between posts 91 and 115? It does seem to me that you're
overreacting. What was going on in your head during the time? How was it conductive to reading RR (if that was
your intent)?

@117: Also elaborate on why that's influencing how you approached RR?

@Kantrip: What was scummy about Joker's attitude?

@No Hetro: I think RR is probably town and Soup possibly scum.


I really think people misread what I'm trying to do. Just because I swear and I push something, doesn't mean I'm angry about it. I didn't like Red Ryu's gambit. I thought it was absolutely pointless and I wanted him to stop. There's literally that's all there is to it. I don't know why I'm being scrutinized for this. I'm being grilled over something so inane that It boggles my damn mind. What does it mind you that I didn't like RR's gambit, and I proceeded to push him on it? I want information. Pushing people is a means of doing that. I can get people to give me what I want. Is this clear?
Soup what are you trying to get out of us by playing like you are though? Even if you're not really angry, you are quite clearly deliberately overreacting. When I say "overreacting" I mean stuff like how you asked RR if he dropped something on his head. You didn't need to go out of your way to be antagonizing if you just wanted to point out that his gambit was nonsense, and yet you did. Why? I won't lie, it does seem staged. Like you're going out of your way to put yourself in a situation scum wouldn't want to put themselves in. Is it really so surprising that people are getting on your case when you yourself are overreacting to things?

I honestly am in a sore spot right now. Personally. I'm trying to use Mafia to get my mind off **** and try to calm down, but I'm not that adept with my emotions. I still believe however, that I am trying to reason with people. My venom and anger is indirect.

Maybe instead of looking at my emotions, you should be looking at what I'm saying. Just because a drop and F bomb here and there doesn't mean it's all just anger. I don't believe there isn't anything I haven't tried to clarify on. I might come off as overreacting and whatnot, but for ****s sake, give a man a break. Let a man play ****ing mafia.

I wanted him to do more. I was trying to garner a read out of him, as a means of reacting with him and pushing him. That doesn't mean anything. It really doesn't. Why am I being treated like it's a criminal offense? Could I have just let him do his thing? Maybe. It didn't seem like he was doing anything with it and nobody believed him. I'm tired of repeating myself.

Ryu was clearly reaction testing, and instead of ignoring what you viewed as stupidity, you reacted to it. Over and over again. Asking Ryu to explain his reaction test to you, and why he did it, over and over again, in an over the top soup rage, doesn't make you look like the reasonable guy who's just questioning a fellow player. It looks like someone reacting badly to a reaction test.

Soup I'm in a precarious position with you, in the sense that I'm basically just being asked to believe you. I apologize if life's not going too well for you right now but tbh that doesn't really make a difference on your alignment. Even if I can buy that you are emotionally disturbed IRL right now (which I do) I'm having trouble buying that you let it spill out in game so easily. I am talking to the guy who wanted to claim Dayvig in Toonami mafia, so there's no reason for me to just take your word on it.

Let me reread the exchange between you and RR and respond to some other things and I'll get back to you.

Also Soup, read on Gheb?

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Read Gheb's post. Do not ****ing go there. I wanted something out of Ryu. I gave a ****ing effort to put myself out there and try to read Ryu. That's all I wanted to do. I ****ing wanted to read Ryu by calling him out. I want to curse and swear and just get angry so ****ing badly right now. My head ****ing hurts too.

His post on this game was the most insightful and constructive post I've seen in a very long time. People should aspire to be like him. He's town, and not just based on that. He's voting my scum-read, and I generally like his approach. I don't really want to think about the screenshot deal because I'm disregarding it completely.

Swords, tell me why you town-read RR.
Because RR took the incentive to try to create discussion and has been following up on it. How he went after you seems like he genuinely thought that he had something on you. Nothing about his play so far suggests that he's faking this for town points.

Gheb, what's your read on Soup, RR, and PJB?

When you say that Kantrip is "being deliberately stupid just to look too stupid to be scummy" what are you basing this off of?

What do you think about what I said about Soup? Do you agree with me that his play looks staged? You seem to think he's legit. Why?

Do you still think that you and Soup are in the clear, and if so why should I believe it?

What's scummy about it? How is it a bad reaction? You're the one who's not using his brain here.

I don't buy this. Why are you trying to justify actions that aren't scummy under pressure? Toast some walrus and relax.

Kantrip, Bowser Jr., Town Tracker has been lynched!

Night 1 Begins!

Remember, you only have 1 day to send in your night actions and NAR is based on the time each action is sent in to the moderator. Problem? :gova:

@1st

Soup - town; Ryu - null; PJB - town:

@2nd

Him not explaining his reads while pretending to know stuff he doesn't. Pretends to have stuff on soup that he doesn't elaborate on. His push on PJB. All fake. Glad he's dead.

@3rd

I can see where you're coming from but think you're overthinking things a bit re: soup. If it's really staged then he'll prolly crumbe sooner or later. That man is a nervewreck.

@4th

I will operate under the assumption that the two of us are clear. Whether you believe it or not is your business, not mine. I'm here to find scum, not to convince you I'm town.

We can talk during Night. I think we can use this to our advantage to clear people.

What I'm thinking:

We decide to have a claimed tracker not use his action and let the other trackers confirm it. That way we can know he didn't perform a kill.

Good idea?

That you can't see why soup could look like someone who's hiding something...

Lemme walk you through this, Gheb. If Ryu is apply pressure to soup with what is clearly a bull**** gambit, and soup is responding to the pressure like it's real, instead of ignoring it for being a bull**** gambit, that's a tell. People who have nothing to hide, do not flip out from unjustified pressure.

Ryu's previous pressure, which had no justification, thusly becomes justified.

You're wrong for various reasons.

1.) Sometimes people just respond to it because it's ****ing annoying and ********
2.) It's ryu, therefore it's not justified
3.) Why do only people who have something to hide react to it?
4.) Why can't he hide something as town?

> PJB reading the worst into everything, hence why people should not listen to him. Somebody call me when that dude is actually being realistic for one.

I don't want your ****ing sympathy. I'm asking you to understand my situation.
I do understand your situation, and in real life I'm totally sympathetic. But within this game, the things you do and say are going to be regarded as tells by me. Your real life situation is of no concern to me, within this arena. It is an excuse. I'm not gonna disregard things that look like tells, because you say I should because you're super special.
