Forum Revival TV Tropes Mafia Revival - D7

[M&F]

oh for sure, that's not why i'm contemplating a rethink. idrk what to make of the fact that you weren't really around during d1; even though i totally buy inactivity because of real life?!?!, you still had time to make very long tropeladen posts ... and i like the content of your post now, not just because i agree, but because it takes effort and it seems like you did read back a fair enough bit, so the pure Effort Points i wanna give you are fucking with my head

I mean, I thought I was plenty active on D1; not on the post-per-second level that some folks have reached, but it was just EoD specifically that I couldn't keep up with. it's why I'm only really complaining now; I understand that mafia is a time commitment, it's just not normally to that level in TCoD

not making an effort is lowkey towny tbh

I hate to self-sabotage yet again, but I beg to differ; not making an effort is like, the low-risk approach to being scum

(if anything, folks who usually play with me would know that "low-risk" is no part of my playbook, but that's neither here nor there)

you'll probably see this when you keep reading downthread but i didn't mean 'not around' as in inactive, i meant as in noncontributory

Big brain time: self-sabotage could be a strategy to sound towny

also, for the record, linking to tropes really doesn't take all that long; remember that part where I did it on mobile,

only reason why I'm not doing it now because I just link to whatever tropes spontaneously come to me, and right now my head is pretty empty (in fact, I'm halfway sure that there's like a dumbness trope that applies to that last sentence, but)

 

[mewtini]

LOL though idk how i feel about this brand of spec :/

 

[rari_teh]

In a nothing-to-lose way, that is

I must wait 18 seconds before the Xenforo gods allow me to post

god sorry i feel like i keep just grilling. it's not that i think you spent hours it's just that i would think a stereotypical town would devote like 5 of those 10 minutes to just catch up or say something else

and honestly maybe i'm just really scared of mf because i know shes a veteran player and i'm swayed by eif

 

[rari_teh]

@M&F sorry if it’s coming off as if I’m trying to throw shade at you, but I couldn’t not post that thought

 

[Eifie]

I'll try to post less for MF

now zzz

 

[kyeugh]

i don’t think amount of effort really means anything tbh
but if anything i think scum is under more pressure to speak up than town bc town (esp vt) doesn’t really care if it dies esp d1
and there was a lot of talk about lynching yesterday

bad tbh

lynching inactives that is

pointless post to say that i especially agree with everything in this post (beyond what a react could convey)
i have some thinking to do

 

[rari_teh]

and honestly maybe i'm just really scared of mf because i know shes a veteran player and i'm swayed by eif

I also must admit that if Eif didn’t FoS MF and Panini I’d have given less thought to them and probably even put ’em on the Amorphous Blob

 

[kyeugh]

i think it’s fair to be overwhelmed by this game and mf’s posts tend to be wordy regardless of alignment ime
that’s not grounds to clear her but i don’t think it’s really solid to lean scum on her for these reasons either

 

[mewtini]

i'll defer to you dude, i don't really know anything about mf's playstyle. she can be in my amorphous blob for now

 

[kyeugh]

eif is leaning scum on mf and knows her just as well if not better so idk
but i’m not reaaaally feeling it rn personally
oh yeah i’m supposed to explain mawile huh

 

[kyeugh]

here is a grain of salt for you before reading this post: i did not check back over mawile's posts before writing it
my impression of mawile is basically that he comes in to say either a) something that seems like insight but actually doesn't really get us anywhere, like the paragraph about whether boq was third party or not which both doesn't matter and didn't even reach a conclusion, or b) to express a read that i have disagreed with pretty much every time so far
that is pretty much the basis of my lean

lots of things can be either towny or a deliberate scum cover! 's the spice of the game, is it not? so by all means, WIFOM me babey,

I'm going to like, acknolwedge that you've said so, but not prompt the grilling to drag itself all the way out; that'd just be defensive anyway

admittedly, I'm not sure where this persistent perspective that I've been uncontributive comes from, besides that Eifie said so; I'm not going to ask anyone to prove the absence of something but

I also must admit that if Eif didn’t FoS MF and Panini I’d have given less thought to them and probably even put ’em on the Amorphous Blob

thus, the mystery of the very similar alignment opinions is solved in a less spectacular fashion than expected-

anyways, just mostly getting these out of my mind as I'm doing some digging right now; if I'm successful, expect:

• a tighter handle on what boquise posted that might have gotten him killed, besides some vague recollection of who he's FoS'd;
• a close look at who finished EoD with their vote on ILS -- underrated avenue so far btw

 

[rari_teh]

a) is definitely a part of why he vibes weirdly to me, but b) isn’t. What do you think, @mewtini?

i agree. just to clarify - part of rari's q was that, while you've been consistently unsure on them, you only now have listed mawile under that tier; did something change? i've kind of been hinting at my own discomfort for a while but i'm wondering where your turning point was
