Kind sir, I absolutely
MUST contest this point -- thiss line of reasoning would have rooted out TVK when he last played!!!!! Sure not
only mafia would make this type of argument,
BUT other defenses exist if you wanted to townie it up!!! oh and also I've only seen maf
consistently make these type of "look at what im doing!! maf wouldnt do this!!!" type of play.
Second, I'll address your question in #303 a bit more!!
Quote:If I was maf why would I be trying to confirm someone as a non-maf and broadcast it to the world?
genuine-looking gamesolving looks better if you're scum? that'd be a good reason, now wouldn't it??.....
Quote:I think I gave a pretty good reason why it would be really fucking dumb to try to confirm someone as non-mafia outwardly if you yourself was mafia.
I, sir, could come up with a scenario on this!!!!
- yer tryna earn townie points while at the same time tunneling for a suspected neutral to keep town off scum trails mebbe????
win-win-win-win-win if you as
Dan pulled it off too!!!! i expounded on this in my votepost i think
idk if IM tunneling too much tho, any1 wanna object to this degree of digging im doing????????? Last thing I want is to be a hypocrite on the whole tunneling thing!!!!!!!11!1!
Quote:Obviously this may be WIFOM...
ok sorry but.
can you pless explain WIFOM™ to a harmless little townie like meeeeeee????

<3
I done checked for a definition BUT! was surprised to find it has many definitions and each could be used in a different context, so your clarification on this would help stupendously, kind sir!!!!
Quote:...but to say there's only one strategically relevant reason I'd try to bring this up (which in your mind is that I'm mafia) is complete and utter nonsense.
eh I wouldnt say COMPLETE nonsense cuz maf would have more reason than town to defend themselves rather than prove their innocence by hunting all players down for scum... ESPECIALLY after that first-irl-day of yours. (re: the list Zoranskiy compiled and points i made in earlier posts along those lines).....
Quote:Does no one remember the game two or three games ago where Alaktorn tunneled hard on me D1 for a half joke vote on Yoshistar and I spent all day trying to defend myself from his ridiculously stupid accusations? I was town in that game.
ah you mean how you tunneled on me first half D1 for my insanity??? (again re: zoran's nice compilation, etc)

naaaaaaaaaaa............
Quote:The idea that I could only be mafia for trying hard to defend my own logic about things is completely asinine.
if what i said came across as saying "only mafia would defend themselves" then that's not what i meant, my post went after the SPECIFIC TYPE OF DEFENSE you employed, good sir!!!
