"Bad" as in "bad at the game" or "evil Damo buddying town Jamie" ?

I don't think the goal is to buddy necessarily, but the latter.

In what way is damo making an unexplained, confident, early townread scum!damo?

cause the point chaqa made seems legit

So in the scenario where I am mafia listing easy D1 kills in the hope of getting them DKed, do you think I listed only town?

no cause that's dumb as fuck

So you are town because of a trust tell?
Why reveal that?

I won't always use a trust tell when I'm town. (Often I'll get by from tryharding and being useful)
But in this context I kind of want to be a useless lurksack, so it's the perfect game to conftown myself and get nightkilled without being a distraction to other townies analysis.

does scum flum do this? idr

Then why do you like Chaqa's point when his point was that I might be listing players I think are easy mis-kills? Why do you think as mafia I would list my easy to kill teammates?

That literally defeats the whole purpose of a trusttell. Are you paying attention?

Why

Probably because people have been cooped up over the holidays/between terms/in the weird interstitial space between when normal social patterns end in mid-December and before they begin in mid-January. That in addition to the omicron wave has probably kept most people more inside than usual, which means less in-person interaction and more zoom interaction. The lack of engaging external activity leads to attempts to self-soothe with easy dopamine fixes, suppressing serotonin levels. The omicron surge echoing the early pandemic and first winter stresses out the subconscious, so baseline levels of cortisol and other stress hormones begin to rise and the adrenal medulla begins to tense up slightly. As a result, the id wants to act out, but the superego is too exhausted to really be effective anymore, leaving the job to the ego. The ego only has the rudimentary defense mechanisms of desperate humor and attention seeking, and the rest is left as an exercise to the reader.

Thank you Doc's castle, I benefited greatly from this useless psychological "assessment".

for the future, is there an easy way on this site to start from the last post you read?

This game got serious fast! Well done.

I would assume the votes on DeathLlama are jokes, except that the people on that wagon take themselves too seriously. And the Durga votes are actually all jokes, though.

Would you think that about any push ghug made or only a good one? And do you think ghug's push on boatman was a good one?

For the first one, any push ghug made, although you have a point that scum ghug could be doing it for towncred if aware of his own meta enough, the fact the scum ghug is super not pushy and more jokey is a difference.
For the second one, Not particularly ,it d1, there was an emotional component to him coming back to questioning again, that came off as wanting an answer instead of just asking for the sake of doing so to appear active.

Okay, I actually think scum!ghug is more likely to be serious early, but I see where you're coming from.

I know the subject matter of the push is sort of whatever because it's so early, but can you let me know if you think it seemed like ghug was misrepresenting the way boatman defended himself? It seemed really odd to me but nobody else seems to care, and deathllama even +1'd ghug's offending post, so I want someone else's opinion.

Ghug was being serious and very literal reading it again.
I also think tbf answers later on explain his point too. I do get somewhat where Ghug is coming and is trying to get a clear answer. I do buy tbf's later posts on uhh page 11 about the scrutiny.
I don't think ghug was misrepresenting and I think the fault lies in that miscommunication of serious versus jokey.
