That is the kind of risk you've taken before.
No it's not. I've never done anything close to this. Nor would I.
Luna has, but not me.
I don't take unnecessary risks. That's a false claim by Coal.
Spreading false paranoia = scummy. Coal is now below whiteflame on my reads list.
Here's my issue. As scum you are never this engaged, unless it's either (1) been a while since you've played or (2) you've come up with a master plan to win as scum which intrigues you. You're not really the "belt and suspenders" type of scum player, and tend to be all but overtly hostile to playing as scum ... because figuring out the puzzle is something you enjoy a lot more than trying to prevent others from doing it.
The distributed reasoning exercise is also something you take a key interest in. Getting other's thoughts. Collaborating. Evaluating what other player's reactions mean. Informing others what impact you think those actions have. This is the gravamen of your town meta, of which you are generally aware. You've moved from player to player, evaluating alternative theories to build an impression of the game.
But you're not interacting with whiteflame much. You're focusing on Pie which we both know is a lost cause because by now it is clear that you've seen through what he's doing.
Maybe it's the novelty of breaking the game on DP1. A notable accomplishment. And for now, that's the theory I'm operating under. But we approach the point where continuing this with pie isn't adding value. Diminishing returns. Up until the point where I asked him to post reads.
Now he's done that. And we'll see what others think, ideally before someone hammers (although it is not clear that person will be speed). Others' responses to the pie situation will likely be the only useful thing to follow.
The problem is that I can see you doing this as scum, knowing your scum meta and deliberately playing against it. And this lingers in the back of my mind. So I don't really care whether I'm above or below whiteflame for you.
