The opposite, using some of your cred to protect your asset inside of the deAAthy in scum-AD scum-spiff world.

Actually.

Could I interest you in a 17p game where a dethy and a miller were part of the design?
Was this a good game? It does not sound like one unless there were other forces at work in the same vein
It was actually pretty damn good. It was a FakeGod large theme.

sorry to be obstinate but also not sorry
I'm not sure what post you're referencing here.
you asked me to give another game where I was demotivated by mech

none are coming to mind right now but I'm fairly positive I've expressed similar emotions as both alignments before

but I don't feel like digging through 50 games

Does he really continue to double down on the miller thing as scum when it’s clearly rubbing people the wrong way and worsening his already vulnerable position?

I also do not like Spiffeh's post because it is ignoring the unfolding claim of motivations From ActionDan where the thought process does not quite line up IMO, and they are instead looking at something else to make their argument

Why did you feel town would be bored by the curtain parting on the dethy?
There was a small moment between "suck it guys, all the cool kids are solving in the hood now" and "oh, its a dethy!" where I kinda vibed with that Dann post.

I actually typed out a "It sure feels nice to spectate a game" post, before deleting it.

From experience mafia tend to approach things a little bit differently.

Imagine if one group is told to draw a bee and another group is told to draw an insect. Spiffeh is just approaching things slightly differently.

I've had some success with this tell too.

I'm actually kinda enjoying being on the outside and watching the other outside reactions for once. Being a participant-observer is a blessing and a curse.

The past 10 pages have massively accelerated the state of the game but in a pro-town overall way IMO.

Actiondan I still do not fully understand your position.

You claim that you had figured out that there were 4 unreliable cops at around the same time the miller had claimed.

However, it seems that everybody else in the hood only figured this out once they started claiming amongst themselves; and this happens quite a bit later on the timeline.

So how did you figure out that there were 4 unreliable cops before the claims?

Doesn't line up?

I'm giving my opinion on the miller claim. What comparisons in my thinkings are you making?

Pedit. I'm smart
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

Morph I do not understand your thought process

What makes you think I’d waste any potential credit I’d gained as scum by trying to protect ACTIONDAN? Lol

I was more just giving myself as an example of a townie having a similar thought at around the same moment as dann put that into the thread.

For reference.

I think ActionDan is Town so this probably won’t end up mattering but I’m confused as to how you have jettisoned any town feelings you had on me for that post

Your confidence in Actiondan being town feels out of place. And you are approaching your read on them in a way I find unnatural.

Spoiler:
I don't think that ActionDan's stance on the miller being off is a smoking gun, and in fact I am going to keep voting for Sunflower in all likelihood. I do think that ActionDan's perspective as they claim it is wonky as it feels like they are confusing the order things have happened.
