In what way were you playing the game though? If you're not reading your role pm, you're not playing the game, you're just posting whilst other people are playing it around you.JDodge wrote:

This is something that came to light behind the scenes:
JDodge had, initially not read his role PM. He told the mod this, and then the mod forced his role upon JDodge. This led to JDodge being angry and threw a massive fit in scumchat yesterday with regards to Oman's behaviour.
Now, the only reason I can see for not reading role PM is to not know you are scum. That is the biggest advantage of playing without knowing your role. Upon knowing his role, JDodge became angry. This points to the fact that JDodge is scum, because had JDodge been told that he was town, he would not have any reason to become angry.- Primate

I'll stop as long as you agree to never not read your role pm ever again. Deal?JDodge wrote:

I normally hold that opinion, yeah, but honestly not reading your role pm is theJDodge wrote:

Not because I can't read them, but every point you make against them, they just go 'well i dunno i am scum lulz so u r wrong', and it's impossible to play a game of mafia with someone who does that. And that's aside from about five other reasons why it's a really fucking stupid idea.- Primate

I am doubtful that scum will contradict themselves in PMs/IMs any more than townies will. If someone contradicts themselves in a PM (not IM) then I'd say they're actually more likely to be townie.xyzzy wrote:It was a hypothetical.
If everyone talks to everyone, discrepencies in what people say will come up only among certain people, yes, and those may confuse - but every towniw will be talking to eight other townies who will be completely honest about their suspicions - there will be agreement, and those who don't agree will often be scum; basically, mass-daytalking will result in the same people being suspicious to many people, who are almost probably scum.
I may be wrong, but I assume you've never played chat mafia before. It is an different game, and the lack of forethought makes it really easy to read the alignments of people who've never played it before. So it's irritating that people don't have aim because it makes it much harder for me to read them for no reason other than they dislike the medium. PMing is mostly pretty useless in a vanilla game like this because there really isn't any reason to PM other people, as there is no information that is better pm'd than posted publicly in the thread. In games that have roles, you could give role info to people you trust who are attacking you to get them to lay off, stuff like that. But this is a vanilla game and all we have are opinions, and what's the point of sharing an opinion with only one person over the other eleven people?Adel wrote:Also, I recruited a couple of good, intelligent, active players, including NabNab whom I'm something like 0-5 against in games where we have different win conditions. I'm into this game, and its players, and I don't see why IM is so important to xyzzy. - Primate
