Galzria: Really low on content. Only five game posts, and two of them were quoting schadd's "I agree with you that I am town" statement: once at #78, and then again at #141. The only other thing he's contributed was support for mcmc about not giving town points to Joseph. While I understand other people's frustration with too much being read into Joseph's undirected behaviour, I think Galz was too curt, and almost aggressive sounding in his demand that other people don't ask for mcmc to back up his statement. We want town players to be able to offer watertight arguments.. I'm really not sure where Galz was coming from there.
We don't want players (town or scum) wasting their time going back and providing examples of things that can easily be checked for their accuracy. Mcmc, like all of us, has a limited amount of time to play. I would much rather him contribute alignment indicative content relevant to this game then spend his time pulling up quotes from other games.
Yeah, but are TWM and I the only two not to know what actions mcmc is talking about? I live in a world where it's totally normal not to buy into someone's claims when they don't cite their sources.
Let's be clear, It's
also fair for mcmc not to invest time up-front re-remembering what games he's talking about immediately if he's not sure those pointers are necessary. Now that some of his audience here have indicated that actually, we're not aware of what he's referring to, it's a bit different, though. If the point he was making earlier was weak or unimportant to begin with, maybe he's happy to let it slide. However, if he wants to have people put weight in his argument, or take it as a good justification for his game stance, then he's probably going to have to throw in a couple more pointers.
Honestly, I'm coming at this from what feels like a really utilitarian angle: balance mcm spending ~5 minutes recalling a handful of games he played/followed in the right sort of timeframe, and then throwing out one or two more examples of vaguely where it happened (say, D1 of MXXX, or somewhere right at the opening if MYYY), against some small number of people (at least two) opening a game we may never have read, taking time to understand the setup, roles, searching through all the flips to find out who was what faction, and then reading D1 and maybe D2 to look for things mcmc
might have perceived as the relevant sort of behaviour. I think the time sunk is at least an order of magnitude different for the same goal.
PPE fourish.
