So, hey guys. I dont know if you know this but there are people in this game (me) who haven't participated in other games (still me) and for those people (me again) it can be very difficult to see why those old games affect this one. One main reason: I give zero shits how people played in other games. People can change the way they play. If I had played in previous games, I would exploit all of you by just playing in the way that you guys think I do as town, since apparently thats all I need to do to convince you people that I are town. Seriously guys, you can be better than this. There is plenty to talk about. So lets do that.
To get the ball rolling, I did an entire reread. Surprise surprise, I still find eHunt and Yuma pretty scummy.
Vote: O "But wait!" you say, "O is neither eHunt or Yuma." You would all be correct. O is in fact not ehunt and Yuma but I really find him to be a terrible player. I have called him out on it before but I am tired of his holier-than-thou attitude. If you are above contributing to this game, dont play it, and I'll help you with that regard.
Vote: O (Protip: we're not friends).
But on subject: ehunt and Yuma. They were the 2 transgressors of what I believe to be my biggest pet peeve: posting something that too strongly tries to implicate yourself as town. eHunt did it first and Yuma second. I commented on both of them when it happened and no one really seemed to care:
If I just blindly type things and one of them gets misperceived as a scumslip, that's really bad for town.
I dont like that you use the word "misperceived." Feels like you are trying too hard to plant that you are town so that when you make a scumslip it would be a mistake to act on it. Subtle, but I dont like it.
But that isn't the point, if that is correct, then I made a mistake in reading her post and now town is going to pay the consequences of it if I get lynched. Sorry.
Yuma was trying to defend a million accusations and let this bad boy slip. I am fresher than a baby's bottom and even I was not impressed by this line. I feel like its way over the top to try to get everyone invested with you not being lynched. You said "hey this is a huge mistake to kill me day 1... you'll be sorry," on the day where more likely than not we are going to kill town anyway and I honestly dont feel you'd be a huge loss. I dont like being told the defense of "i'm too important to town to kill" and I've already called out, I believe, ehunt for doing the same thing. It seems like a drastic overraction and quite quite scummy. You get my Vote: Yuma.
This coupled with what I find to be just sloppy play from both of them, namely very hollow arguments and not-so-subtle topic changes (I dont have direct evidence of these, just the impression I got), makes me really want to keep an eye on them.
Secondly, there has been a lot thats said that has gotten no attention because of Eevee's bombdrop of the cult knowledge. Thats all well and good but Shraeye makes a solid post on watno (who I would agree did not give me the towniest of reads on my reread). Its content-filled post like these that need to be addressed and I am super suspicious of everyone that is participating but not actually addressing content posts and the individuals who those posts call into question (I'm still not letting lurkers off the hook). I'll say it again: I do not consider old games to ever be relevent, throwing around M followed by some roman numeral doesn't make you cool; It makes you narrow minded in the sense that you cant see a world where any one is ever capable of changing the way they act and think. You are embarrassing yourselves and you can do better.
