So you're pretty much saying when you're trusted, you're scum, and when you're not trusted, you're town, as a general rule...
Almost!
But no, it was rather a joking way to tell those who played a couple of games with me that they should look at the statistics, because it has indeed often been the other wat around. It's not strange though. Often when I did was scum I tried harder to survive, whereas as a townie I opened up more, which also made me look more scummy.
My point is that this is simply my way of thought. I can still be town or scum, but opposed to immediatly seeing my open playstyle as scummy and my closed playstyle as more trustable, rather, look at my actions.
The only things that happened so far have been that I saw Storm as town. I was right about that, and I was one of the few that advocated not to waste our day 1 lynch on such an obvious townie. I later also stated that he was probably not an important townie either. At the time, I very specifically said that I expected there to be no VT's, and that Dekunut replaced these by weak power roles. I was right about this too (not the VT's though), he was half a roleblocker. I never specifically stated that the odd-even-night system was at play, because I saw that as dangerous for my own protection to reveal that, but this did was an obvious reference to it. I then also figured out there probably was a second doctor and designed a system to protect Malon. And look at the results, maybe it was due to something else, but the bottom line is that Malon is still alive. At the very least my plan didn't fail. And to further build on this, I questioned Pendio's alginment, but later also concluded that he was actually more likely to be town.
Now imagine that I would be scum. First. Why would I try not to lynch Storm? No one would've noticed if I would've applauded his lynch, had I only pretended to be super salty. Many other players like Tristan did so too, and didn't end up looking scummy. So a certain town-lynch on day 1, and possibly even a doctor or important townie that dies! That would be a great hit. If I'd be mafia, if I would look at all my options, this would be a move that's so much more effective. Secondly, why would I try to protect Storm/Malon in the first place. I could also just not have suggested that. And then comes this whole RB thingy, but I honestly do not see the possible advantage for me if I'd be mafia to tell OR not tell this. It seems rather irrelevant to me.
Then comes my theory about there being many weak town power roles. I could've just guessed this and made it up, but I would've been really lucky though if I genuinely did not have any info about that in my own role.
And finally Pendio. I think I had enough arguments against him to keep that clash going on. withdrawing hurt me more than I gained from it. As a townie I did that because I honestly changed my mind. As mafia I would not care, I would've ingored the evidence that no one else picked up anyway, and continued.
I'm not saying I cannot be scum. But if I compare the 2 paragraphs above, I could not imagine I would make so many of the choices I did if I were mafia. Because out of all the options I could've chosen, these would've been the most suicidal. There were far better options, as I noted, that no one else would probably have picked up anyhow. So no need to specifically play suicidal as some sort of dubble-bluff.
that is why I do not understand the wariness from my own point of view. I'd say this game I'm more obviously town than I've every been before, lol. Let this game then be a lesson about Kokirion's playstyle.
You bashed Pendio for his appealing to emotion, but you're committing an anecdotal fallacy here.
FoS: Kokirion
Also, love that fancy term!
