I can admit I wasn't taking this game very seriously at all, in regards to frequency of posts and actual scumhunting. To be fair, the game itself didn't start off very serious, and I didn't treat the game very seriously (especially at the start) because of the unusual setup mechanics and the fact the game itself took a long time to really get serious, especially with half the players goofing around (Shadoweh, scumteam, Raikaria).
Had I been given the gun I would definitely have been motivated to actually try (although there's a good chance I still would have shot Shadoweh, yeah, unless everyone else convinced me otherwise). I thought I could at least get away with being town by staying out of the spotlight if I wasn't going to be serious (I kind of wanted to flow with Dan's towntell on me too, bad advice now because he was scum).
Like I said, I'm glad I at least caught HW, at least that lets me tell myself I actually did put effort into the game (I can't call Scum!HW blind no matter how good I am at reading him,). Dan/Valtz I still would have a hard time guessing, maybe less so since I didn't actually remember who Valhtz was replacing, and I had my Dan read pretty bad. but whatever.
NNR: Pride in his reply to Zakeri early on (#33) sounds way too mellow to be genuine. Could've been a) NNR cutting down on swears because he doesn't want to be carded again or b) NNR cutting down on swears because he doesn't want to be in the spotlight this game (scum). Aside from that everything else I remember out of his game so far is meh and I haven't found anything else alignment indicative, perhaps because he doesn't seem to be playing the game much at all. Not a solid scumread but everybody else is townier so I'd shoot him.
I do kind of frown at this because it stereotypes me as always getting mad at games, I know I DO get worked up pretty often in Mafia games, probably because I have a tendency to read more into the game when my mood is sour and I have nothing better to do, but I still have been trying to cut back on it, I've been mellowing out a lot lately.
Probably understandable a lot of people had me as scum this game. I felt like lurking more and I didn't have much I wanted to say, I mostly went with my gut this game (which happens to be fine-tuned to eating Scum!Prims). Guess 1 for 2 our of 2 scum still isn't bad. Thought at least the fact my only scum read was the confirmed scum (up to the last day) would at least have won me some brownie points, but w/e.
The problem with my mafia gameplay is that I post more when I'm the center of attention, but I loathe it when people try to lynch me (a conundrum which, yes, probably leads me to getting more ragey then I right should be). It's always a work in progress.
In hindsight my read on Shadoweh was pretty dumb, but sometimes I think it makes sense to think backwards like that, because Shadoweh has been known to win games on hard bussing before (although having PX as a scumbuddy probably factors into that too)
If we don't want to fight against NNR we should say nothing about him. Really. He'll take it personally regardless of how much content you post against him.
:/
No, I don't take anything said in Mafia personally, where would you get a crazy idea like that? My attitudes towards people in Mafia games are isolated into each game, I don't actively hate people outside of Mafia for being a duck in Mafia. Unless it's Pesco. Or Gear, because he ruins every Mafia ga- oh wait wrong forum. I don't have a negative opinion on you outside of that, that's dumb. Hell, I barely even know you well. Would be silly to have some kind of prejudice.
Although I do agree that picking a fight with me is likely to get you more heavily scrutinized, since that's how I tend to end up playing a lot of the time. Good call on that at least, I guess.
