Chainsaw should be a keyword.

Linkeralmost 11 years ago

Just like lylo / wifom, I think Chainsaw deserves becoming a keyword. I'd define under cs, like so:

"Chainsaw: When a mafia tries to appear town by bussing and trying to save a town in a counter claim, when most of the town are already voting them."

What do you think?

this is why main is bad

also it's not a scumtell if you have a legit reason, unless it's now a scumtell for town to think for themselves and know how to read as well
site meta (or more accurately, community meta) exists in every mafia community and is unavoidable.

particular actions being tied to particular alignments are what is really at fault.

Like Anthony just said, it depends who you're appealing your "towniness" to. However, more often than not, I've seen people be insta-lynched for not "voting with the clear".

mafia will stop chainsawing while it's seen as a scumtell so idiot town will sheep a town lynch, then when it becomes a towntell again from losing too many games mafia will pick it up

repeat the cycle with terrible meta community

But yeah. Chainsawing isn't even close to being a decent play anymore because, last I checked, site meta's established that it's actually a scumtell to sidestep a majority lynch and put your own vote up. It's also just as easy to casually throw out your opinion by saying something like "Well I don't agree with lynching player X at all and I think we should lynch player Y today instead, but whatever." and still throw up your vote on X. Could be wrong though.
depends on who you're going to need to appeal to

I disagree. If you dont know how to read a saw, that's your call - and you're probably with the majority. Despite that, it is possible to townread a saw.
I'm not saying that it isn't a possibility to townread it, I'm saying that the majority of the site simply doesn't.

a more accurate definition of chainsawing is:

defending a player who is likely to get lynched, without the real intention of preventing the lynch, in order to look like you are/were on their side.

a good chainsaw is done by looking like you tried and failed to defend someone

this doesn't deny the very plausible strategy of PRs chainsawing their scumreads in order to survive the night.

Okay this thread is now for me posting rap lyrics about how good at mafia I am:


And I'm the six million motherf*ckin dollar man
With a six million muh'fukkin dollar plan
For thug n**** and pimp players and drug n****s
Your technique, I sweep under the rug n****s
Out of Queens, $hit I serve with the fiends and bug n****s
I'm above n*****, but all in all, I love n*****
Like my man Benny Rat (uh) showed me the rap game
Told me never to act sane on a record or rap plain
Now the name reign supreme, seen major cream
Rhymes, sicker than lyme disease and gangrene
I'm the most obligated, n**** creatin havoc
Check the meaning for Sonse, the meaning becomes tragic

Chainsawing is when you vote against the town despite knowing that town's lynch will go through in order to force a towntell.

It's not nearly as relevant on this website as mafiascum or other forum mafia sites imo

Besides that yes more keywords would be nice. You'll have to petition Lucid himself for it though and he's notoriously difficult to get to do stuff.
