Persus: Do you think that scum might want to get lookout duty in an attempt to find any town power roles in the game?

Of course they would. But it is something that, if successful, would cause them to get increased scrutiny from the town, which is pretty much always a good thing.

Of course your comment changes his answer. Do you expect him to read my post and then not allow your comment to affect his perception of it? Not going after someone for questions that haven't been answered tends to be a standard part of Mafia etiquette. As for what my expected response was, of course I expected a few different responses from Mastahcheese, either angry, or a simple explanation. If he had said something unexpected, or otherwise made some sort of slipup, then I would have something to pursue. Your comment makes it harder for him to do an unexpected outcome.

The difference of viewpoint had more to do with the second set of questions, which were the ones I regarded as more important.

No, I do not feel "Do you have any doubts as to your alignment?" is accusatory, because this is a bastard mod. It seems perfectly possible that someone might not know their wincon. It's a long shot, but still possible. If this wasn't true or mastahcheese didn't want people to know that, he could have just clarified.

The risk of a potential NK is an acceptable risk. Increased scrutiny from the town is something I listed as a benefit, so I don't see why you're trying to imply I would view it as an acceptable risk, unless you're trying to make me fall into a trap or make me look scummy.

So basically you're saying you think I'm scum for voting myself as lookout. Who would you want to be lookout right now?

Do you have any doubts as to your alignment? If not, why are you putting forward theories of yourself being scum?

Why are you assuming you'll be attacked over taking a hiding action? Do you yourself see hiding as the weaker of the lookout options?

It's not quite that cut-and-dry. Chucklefish hasn't released an update since Q1, has been doing a horrible job of managing the community, and originally promised feature completion in 2014. People shouldn't be quite so angry, but there's certainly something to be upset about.

But yeah, people weren't actually lied to about features, since the game isn't done yet. Chucklefish isn't evil or anything; they just promised more than they could deliver.

I see nothing but complaints about this on the steam forums. People are calling it a 'tech demo' and a waste of money. They say it was released for sale before its worth buying and then people were lied to about new features. They basically did a money grab. I would not spend money on this for the forseeable future.
