| Hephaestos said: oh and HoS Gow FoS links FoS prof I didn't read that townie comment as sarcastic, and I find GoW's retreat right after links' blunder to be very suspicious and his summary to be a bit too devoid of personal input. I added prof to the mix because he first warned links before attacking, something he seldom does, then he attacked on the "we" word and provided the "sarcastic" excuse at the same time... I can see this as a bailout while attacking on points that won't stand. As a matter of fact, I find prof's attacks unusually weak so far. |
I guess that is fair.
I do want to say that before I started on gniz. I embarked on a quest.
Basically, to start, the logic goes like this.
Town has advantage first day because mafia haven't been able to talk/warn/plan with each other. The thing is, mafia aren't on the same page day one. Each are just trying to make it by and take the lead from what their fellow scum say in game.
Due to this, I expected there to be a "mafia leader" telling (in one way or another) to not lurk. I expect this to be a good player who is noticing weakness.
So, I looked for that. The very first people to comment on lurking in some shape or form was GoW and linkz. I think it was GoW saying that he would be laying low or something, and linkz commenting on it, like, "Gow is trying to evade notice".
My idea was to put myself in mafia shoes and think, "if I were to send a message within the thread to my mafia partners, how would I word it. Would it be like what linkz said? Or would I be telling mafia to lay low for now in the way that GoW might be doing. Like, "this is getting hectic (fellow scum), I'm going to back off a bit (as should you)"
And then I thought, "if linkz were another mafia, would his response make sense".
I mean, GoW likes to lead, or might be just calling out what he's doing, and linkz might be telling him not to do that.
Anyways, I felt all this was a little weak and so continued through the thread. The next instance of lurking commentary came from Gniz in an aggressive way. I thought it was a fairly strong lead. But now your mention of my attacks being weak is making me second guess myself.
I felt I was reaching a bit at linkz because I wanted to pressure him, but I thought my comments on Gniz were good.
