What did rantai say? I can't highlight on my phone.

Um, you might want to read that again as to why they are silly, there's a line of explanation if you have the functionality to understand it (to sum it up: they basically take an action or post which usually indicates nothing and try to make a read off it). Let's go as far as this example of "RPing is a scumtell!" - anyone of any alignment can RP during an RVS and it's absolutely grabbing at straws if you think you can draw meaningful conclusions from it.
Let's make another example: I'm a terrorist and I like to dance - those kids over there like to dance too, therefore those kids are terrorists. Meaningful.
In the end though I'm assuming you actually agree with those types of plays so I think I'm wasting my breath here. I wonder if you actually believe I am scum or simply just don't like my opinion on the matter. I'll give you that the obtuse writing (RP stuff) is annoying as hell for both parties, but if you're basing a scum read off that, damn. If only every mafia were so obvious (bracing for the claws on that statement but I had to say it).
I think I've basically said all I've wanted on this topic.
@RB - There's a first time for everything. I'd call it less weird here as more I'm simply not holding back my opinion now (not sure if it got through but one of my rp posts basically said I've been bottling it up over several games). If that paints a giant target on my back then so be it.

If this is where you got the RPing thing from, then know that I was talking less about the actual words and more about the intent behind it.CalignoBot wrote:
This is a pretty solid hint as to why.Rantai wrote:
Apparently a little RP is a scumread.
Yeah, thought I made that clear earlier but apparently I didn't.Rantai wrote:
Then you made that extremely ambiguous. What intent anyway?

Not sure what to think of the reasoning of Caligno's vote. Seems like it was a bit straw-graspy.
Also Rantai's reaction seems pretty defensive for an early game vote.
Unvote
RVS is over.
Comes after his post asking dake why he was voting for rantai instead of royston without putting his vote where his mouth is.NoHitter wrote:
Alright, let's try this. There are pretty much two main wagons as of now: Rantai's and Royston's.
I don't think Rantai's actions are indicative to scum. I feel his frustration is genuine, though a bit overdone. Null tell for Rantai.
Royston's actions, i.e. voting for Quotes was fine, but there's something about his excuse which bothers me. He said that he voted Quotes as a joke, implying he knew he was confirmed town, but said later that he was "misreading" it into Rantai - saying he thought Rantai was confirmed town. Which makes his earlier justification of voting Quotes a contradiction.
Vote: Royston
And for all of you still RVS voting, please stop already. We're out of RVS.

It's called saying your thoughts. How is giving your opinion not helping town?Quotes wrote:

Dake's explanation seemed genuine to me, so I didn't pursue him further along that line, and I did explain why I voted Royston (albeit I failed at reading at that point)Quotes wrote:

Immediately unvotes Royston after a quick explanation on why he voted why he did.

Not much time to read stuff atm, will be back tomorrow after my final tut.
RVS has been over for a while. Don't know why you would state the obvious.OnosakiHito wrote:
Unvote
RVS is already over.
It's not a reaction test this time, I have suspicions of him.Rantai wrote:
@Royston - seems like another Sakura-reaction-test
So your doubting Royston's towniness yet you think there's scum on his wagon?, if you're doubting royston's towniness and he's town it's more likely that scum is standing by watching town mislynch on their own.DakeDekaane wrote:
I bet there's scum in Royston wagon if he's town.
inb4 omg that's so obvious
- This bugged me, I can't see this benefiting the town at all?Rantai wrote:
Actually just to spite you I'm just going to try rp for as long as I can keep it up.
- Page 9: Rantai starts to form a bit more coherent arguments, albeit under spoiler tags. A bunch of meta arguments I don't get since I haven't played Mafia with you guys. Irreversible also shows up for a sec, but his promised post doesn't. Sakura is around but seems content to watch the CB-vs-Rantai dance.Irreversible wrote:

If you see something, please let us know what it is. Also, noob question: What's ISO?CalignoBot wrote:
