So is the whole Pinkie Promise a big thing in WW? Because that's something that has been bothering me quite a bit...like how does a promise that you're town clear someone?

Honestly Ex is my top townread outside of Leg simply because of how active and driven they've been. But y'all have said something about powerwolfing? I'm guessing that's where a wolf takes the lead and trust to steer the conversations and lynches.

But the promise seems to hold a lot of weight here.

It's actually a strategy that people use on mafia forums. A link to a wiki page on it is here:

IMPORTANT: This is not a banned strategy on these forums and ExLigjt is bot breaking any rules by making pinkie promises it's just that the link is for a forum where it is banned.

I appear to have sat on my keyboard making that post.

It’s not a common tactic from my experience. I know people that use No Lie Policies, which is similar but a bit different.

The idea of a pinkie promise is more about trusting my character than anything. When someone says they don’t believe me making a pinky promise they’re not saying they don’t trust me as a player, they’re saying they don’t trust me as a person in a way.

People usually give the benefit of the doubt until that trust is broken, since I have never broken anyone’s trust regarding these sorts of promise, it would be unusual for others to have so much paranoia to the point of questioning not only my word but a perfect record of me keeping it.

Had I not made the pinkie promise I agree my behavior could be perfectly interpreted as me powerwolfing because I really messed up badly here sjjdovmfdmghd
But while we’re at it I can at least use it to reduce PoE and redirect people into better discussion topics than my alignment (because good lord can you imagine rereading all my posts in less than 48h).

Ok so technically neither Minish nor HumanDawn actually verified the strategy so maybe this is a 1000IQ play by ExLight to make up a fake trust tell in order to make it the entire way through the game or maybe he just lied or decided that wolves were so far behind because of the D1/2 lynches that it was worth sacrificing trust in him for the win... but I don't think that is happening in a million years. Even if you completely ignore the pinkie promise, ExLight would be my top town read and I wouldn't even consider him ever unless someone presents me an absolutely airtight case against him.

On MU some people 500-post in 48 hours and I just don't even try reading those ISOs. ExLight has 200-300 posts total in this game I think?

I see. I'm a naturally cynical person so to me it seemed strange take something like that at face value. It's also why I've somewhat disregarded people's self meta claims as a form of defense.

It's nothing against you as a person. I promise. I just don't know you or your record.

Everyone is so damn towny!

to people that played as wolves in this forums, how good is the communication between the scummates usually?

I haven't played as a wolf in a while, but from what I remember it wasn't all that terribly active. Usually someone would give a target and reasoning, and the rest would say, "Sounds good." If someone was on the chopping block or being heavily sussed, we'd sorta give an idea of what we were planning to do before doing it, but we didn't really come up with a larger overarching plan. We all played pretty independently for the most part.

Then again this was before Discord, so it was all over group PM on the forums, which is a bit clunky. Might be easier, nowadays if they have a group DM on Discord.

It's through PMs? I assumed there was like a hidden topic or something elaborate like that.

I feel like an idiot.

I asked Lau when I subbed in if the scumchat was on discord on in the forums. It’s on the forums, prolly in the DMs system.

I’m a bit confused on whether or not they’ve been keeping up with the thread or just getting lucky.

*or in the forums

I remember this old Final Fantasy Forum TPG I used to play had like secret missions that only appeared for the people in them as their own hidden topics so that's how I assumed it worked

Come on, he's obviously playing up the innocent newbie card. Why would he talk about how he didn't know how scum communicated. With how Michi was distancing from him when we were voting off TGN (on mobile at work, not gonna try to find it) and how he's been distancing himself from Wintermoot since D1, it's gotta be him and Moot.

Honestly, I still don't think it's Gerrick/Moot.
