In the context of THIS game, of TWoOtA? Not much at all. He did kidnap a teammate of ours and then give sage advise, and he could teach us to engage the Chunky Realism battle mode, but other than that, he doesn't play much of a role here.Do we know he could teach us that? Or that he would want to?
I don't believe you.Because they're holding us back! They say their teachings protect us from the dark side but all they do is keep us weak, so that we can't realize our true potential! They're afraid of how powerful we can become, afraid they'll no longer be able to control us with their little rules and titles!Yeah, that's right! Screw the rules! Never listen to authority!Why?
But I've seen a different way. A way of freedom and power! Join me, and together we shall rule the galaxy as dragon and magmahorse!
The main constraint in the formula is really the quadrant factor as of 6^98i>100X. Only a reaction to the second inertia level would be able to conduct a dynamic flow throughout the wavelength particles in question. Of course, this assumes that Euclid notions are in play, as some sort of nonconvetional parameter could also resuscitate any parallel structure could ultimately alter the bio-systemiogology of the present phenomena, disregarding all past hypotheses. Of course, the whole notion is in theory if obstinate relativity circumvents standard conformity of drag, all subject to diameter of the outer shell, gravitational strings provided.About half to a third of that actually makes sense, if we ignore the context of the conversation.
It would put us on equal footing with or at an advantage against overleveled but normally weak foes. Such as human-likes or Hellyfish. However, against stuff like that robot thing on DL4, it would put us at a sever disadvantage, I think.I'm sure there would be some attempted balancing involved.
We will need to try the CHUNKY REALISM mode at least once.
EDIT: Ooh! We could ask AH about it!
Talking about ongoing games gives you an unfair advantage or ruins the game in many cases and it is banned. End of discussion. Either follow the rules or get out.I didn't actually respond to your comments about that rule. You're such a good reader!
Yeah, that's right! Screw the rules! Never listen to authority!Why?
Seriously though, I thought piecewise meant "Hold your actions and speech and stuff." since he responded to Tavik Toth. If not, sorry piecewise, misunderstanding.Eh. Wasn't being that serious.
Saint idly opened and closed the cup holder on his new robotic thigh as he listened."...Why do you have that thing sticking out of your leg?"
GWG, I'm gonna try making a planet of creatures without blood of any equivalent, but the normal lifeforms will have blood for convenience's sake.Neat. Might I suggest looking into cnidarians and other such organisms with no bloody substances?
-snip-That's what a good chaos deity can be. Yours? Vague enough to look more like the boring evil standard villain.
Yeah, I'm a cop, by the way. And I got town on GWG... Great. Umm, NQT, your claim is as panicked as it is ludicrous. Assuming that GWG and I are both mafia means that this game's already over. Assuming one of us is town and is merely lying is also quite ludicrous.Well, as long as Tiruin doesn't vote for me we'll be good. Assuming, of course, that NQT isn't a crazy townie implying that Tiruin is the mafia.

So, what you're telling me is that the important parts were parts not even mentioned in your summary of how to scumhunt?How do you tell honest-mistake answers from mafia-coverup answers? Hope that the mafia give obviously flawed reasons?On telling honest-mistake answers from mafia-coverup answers: A major part of this is determining whether the answer makes sense for the specific player as town. That, however, is only part of the process. Observing the player's behaviour before and after the answer, and how it works with the answer (and, for that matter, all other answers they give, and the activities around them in the game), is another part.
What's the boundary between "panicky" and "not panicky"? Wouldn't it logically depend on the personality of the actual player? Isn't all of this making it so subjective as to be almost useless?
To be quite honest, you're not going to catch the scum very often with just a single question. Scum gets caught through accumulation of evidence. Accumulation of oddities and of discrepancies. Scumtells are mostly behaviours noted to be worth investigating.
On the panicky/not panicky boundary: You are correct that it depends on the personality of the actual player. Everything does. Pretty much everything in Mafia depends on the context of the game, the actions within the game, the roles available in the game (perhaps the player is a cop?), and the players in the game.So, isn't providing something so very, very subject to individual personalities as a scumtell...a bit misleading?
On subjectivity: Subjective, in this case, does not mean useless. It means context, at the personal level and the game level, must be kept in mind and used in investigation.And how does one use this stuff? That seems like important information.
Also, mentioning details out of game can really be harmful. For example, a dead mafia member complaining how Turuin was a terrible mafia partner, and that's why he's gotten lynched. Or perhaps mentioning how playing cop adds way more stress into a game, even if it is just a BM. See how this info could be game-ruining if you just told everyone about it? And in order to stop things such as this scenario from happening, there's a commonly established rule against talking about ANYTHING in other games, even harmless stuffStupid stuff like that? Sure. But...well...that's just dumb. It's like saying you can't discuss violence because of the possibility that someone would go into an overly-graphic explanation of murder, or saying that no one can use "the G word" out of fear of people starting arguments over religion.
Allow me to elaborate on my earlier argument. Here's an example.Before I comment, let me see if I understand the scenario correctly. Look above; are the posts in the correct threads?
[Thread A] Player A states "If C was scum, he wouldn't be taking this approach, I know, because I've played with him before."
Player B thinks "C and A might be both Mafia, but I'm not sure"
[Thread B] Player D on another ended Mafia game Player B and C are in is watching the first game and says "C doesn't act like this while scum. He's doing the same thing in the other mafia game."
Player B sees this and goes, "Okay, I'm on the wrong track. I'll go after Player E, instead of trying to lynch B and C"
