Bananas' post mixed up what I had to say because he is interpreting the mafia in this game as town and the town in this game as mafia, which calls for some sort of agreement as to what terminology we'll be using in this game to not misinterpret the hell out of each other. I'm with using the same as BT and Bananas since otherwise the whole mafia terminology kind of falls apart.
For clarification purposes, I will use -general mafia X- to refer to the terminology one would use in a normal mafia that isn't turned around for this post. If you don't see it next to some lingo in the post it probably just means I forgot, but it will still mean the same as in regular mafia terminology.
Vhaltz's latest post is pretty tryhard. Wondering why the other people doing similar things weren't also fishing for cred. Just putting that out there for now.
I addressed this before the question was even asked by saying that I wasn't reading jokes the same way since they wouldn't be read seriously. The intent
could be the same, sure, but by not being serious in the joke posts nobody is going to read further into them, while BBM was expressing actual confusion instead of joking. This post, due to not being a joke, means that it is more likely to be read seriously and read to some like a genuine reaction (-general mafia towntell-). This could have been fabricated for cred.
Jokes are jokes that anyone can blend in with regardless of alignment.
"I'm confused by my PM" is either a real response to an event or an attempt to falsify one.
So do you think it was a genuine response or a fabrication?
You vote Raikaria for giving no input on this subject other than -gut-, but while you have peeked in to clarify my vote, you didn't specify whether you thought anything else about the subject. I know you have mentioned that you'll withhold judgement, but still.
Re: Shadoweh and Bananas. I was addressing the idea because upon thinking about it for a second, anybody would realize that not only was expressing confusion over the turnover irrelevant, but it could be misunderstood (making it a Pretty Bad Idea as -general mafia town-). Being clear and avoiding misunderstandings as -general mafia town- means less people willing to -general mafia lynch- you, and while -general mafia scum- further their wincon this way, so does -general mafia town- by avoiding their own mislynch. The difference here is that:
- Being careless and posting something that could be misunderstood --> Contrary to a -general mafia town- wincon since misunderstandings could get you -general mafia lynched-.
- Posting it on purpose to get cred --> Furthers scum wincon since they'd figure nobody would take a confirmation post seriously enough to -general mafia lynch- them D1, whereas posting it on purpose to see if they'd get -general mafia town cred- from somebody who happens to read it as a genuine reaction would further a -general mafia scum- win condition.
I can't really say much else about -self consciousness- if you don't understand the difference after that. I like not being misunderstood and you can see that littered all over my posts in the forum, not only mafia. Plus, if you're implying that -general mafia town- would post whatever came into their heads without thinking or filtering what they would think is relevant, everybody would post like Serela, and that just doesn't happen.
Cut by Serela I wrote out the earlier post in 15-20 minutes, if you've had time to read the thread then as -general mafia town- you must have thought something relevant that you could post as you read through since you would be -general mafia scumhunting-, do you really have nothing else to comment on?
I almost forgot to mention another thing (clearly these posts aren't long enough).
@BT Raikaria is running into the game with a BBM vote on -gut-. Wouldn't it be easier for scum to join the wagon by sheeping the already existent reasoning to vote him?
Cut, getting this out there.
