    Not to me it wasn't. It's not about tunnelling, it's you possibly suggesting you were only going to scumread Stanari and not bother looking at me, which I found scummy. You answered my question and that's all I wanted.

    It was the combination of new site and not being in a super good mental place at the time.

    Disagree as I think over long periods of time patterns in behavior always emerge unless a person makes a conscience effort to keep such patterns from happening.

    But probably not relevant to anything happening here.

    Okay I don't want it to be a thing because that would make GH and Newcomb mafia which would make me sad, but still.

    Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "meta". It can be useful to know about people's track records and such, but arguments like "he always does this when he's town so he must be town here" are super bad because other people aren't as simple as we might want to pretend sometimes, and thusly it's practically impossible to predict their alignment on the basis of what they did as any given alignment in the past.

    Speaking in absolutes is bad but it's useful for trying to establish guidelines.

    Well, the issue is this, right? We need there to be content and people explaining their thought processes to identify the mafia.

    But that content and explanation of thought processes doesn't need to come from your reads on other people — it can come from your read on yourself, specifically your attempts to convince other people to not vote for you when you're about to get lynched. There are two advantages to this approach: 1) you don't give scum information (which I already covered) and 2) you're essentially turning the tides so that townies now have access to full information to help them make the best honest defense case they possibly can, whereas mafia has to lie while they know everything they say is a lie, making it a very difficult position for them to be in, which is also a great way to get those scumslips in.

    You said "this" after quoting my question. I took "this" as referring to my post, not what my post was asking about. As in, I thought you were saying you could see several directions in which my question to Vaimes was not unnecessarily anal, like you were implying a read on me, but the wording didn't let me figure it out.

    Given the above reasoning, no. I thought it was sth else, but if it's just an issue of imprecise grammar, then there's no issue.

    i don't think scum!Newcomb comes out of the gates with a meta debate? I feel like he'd come out with one of those "catchup" posts that he used to do where he analyzes every single post of every single page and makes huge walls that are just literal death but filled with individual analysis.
