edit:None of this post is actually relevant to this specific game we are playing. tbh it'd have more place being said postgame, but then it'd be sort of late for immediate things.
However, it should be noted at this point I'm starting to worry Serela is abusing his meta. His... "awkward" playstyle was discussed a lot over break, and given his recent posts, it doesn't look like he's trying to improve at all even though I would expect him to be doing so this game. This doesn't sit right with me.
I think this is more of a problem with how I scumhunt then how much effort I put into the game. This bothers me because, while adopting a different style of scumhunting is much better in terms of being able to make content and pick a target, I personally feel like I would not be actually finding scum quite as well as finding targets, in addition to the fact that I quite simply cannot concentrate on things and keep thoughts in order long enough to pull off the more investigatey and evaluating playstyle versus "This player does not feel like town to me!".
Making cases is something that comes after I figure out the person is bad. Sometimes the stuff that makes them feel bad to me is case-worthy in itself, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way and I'm stranded with "This person is scum, I just can't explain -why-."
And the fact that my, admittedly lazy, and rather quirky and case-deprived method of scumhunting, has actually been working out really well in terms of identifying scum does not help any effort towards trying to do a different way. Despite the fact that after I figure it out I tend to not be able to convince anyone due to my lack of real content.
It's funny though, because then I flip scum and suddenly I seem to actually be able to function somewhat well as a mafia player (At least for short periods of time, or AT LEAST IN COMPARISON TO TOWN!SERELA.), probably having something to do with -having- to use the other playstyle as obviously I know everyone else is town and not scum. I figure at least part of the reason is because that I no longer have to worry about the accuracy rate of this scumhunting method, as, I'm scum in such a case.
Maybe if I pretended I was scum and was trying to fabricate cases on townies I'd get somewhere. But that feels wrong and I think my chances of actually hitting a scum would be much lower :C
It might be better if I just didn't play, but it's still a fun game for me, even if I'm a bother to other people with how useless my playstyle tends to be in terms of ACTUALLY HELPING TOWN.
