ZFR: There is of course also the option that he planned to pass a fascist policy but got LLF. In that case however why help confirm me by giving me LF: he would have passed me LL so I don't get confirmed and he could gain some lib points along the way.
Scene, despite all his actions, seems as our normal liberal scene. It surprises me that you don't see him as such, you played a lot with him, you should know his style. The fact that you continuosly pick on him makes me think you mroe likely to be scum.
You raise some good points and I don't know why the Fascists act like they do. However, I disagree on these two points.
-passing LL when you have the chance to test someone in a situation, where there is leeway for testing, isn't a liberal action. So if he drew LLF and passed LL, that would put him under scrutiny. I guess what I would have done in his position is, pass along FF if I drew FFL (claiming FFF and burying the one L), but if I drew LLF, I'd have passed on LF too. LL looks too suspicious, unless one plans to claim having drawn LLL.
-Scene doesn't feel like his normal liberal self. Yes, he was always all over the place and always very stubborn and often prejudiced. But this time there seems to be method to his madness, to say it with the words of the bard. However, it is possible that this more methodic impression is due to his increased experience. So maybe what I am reading as (scummy) intent is just a change in his style compared to past games. I haven't played with him in a long time. So maybe I am just as much prejudiced as he is. He reads me as scummy because I didn't like his meta-idea and makes everything else fit that prejudice. Maybe I'm making the same error. But if he isn't scum, who is then? Micro remains. You do, as H. RFG due to trent's past behaviour, but that's a weak point. Or H among GR and RW. But really, Scene as Fascist in a bad place fits best, I think.
But all in all: if you think I'm a Fascist skip me. There isn't much harm done by that, if you really are L.
supplementscene: Now you could well be Liberal but playing style is very different to normal. It makes me think the Fascists might have got bad seats and you're panicking.
Funny. That's exactly my theory about you. But if you are actually Liberal, in spite of appearances, ask yourself two things: was I ever prone to panicking? And wouldn't I play much more 'Liberal' and careful as Fascist? I was routinely rated as the most liberal player when I was Fascist in the past, remember?
Also: my style is different from what? In at least half of the games we played together I was Fascist. In a significant portion of them I was Hitler. Is my style different from those games? Or from the minority of games where I was Liberal? I think, you just WANT to read me as Fascist and therefore you fall back to 'he is different. And different is bad!'
Yes, I am aware that I do the same with you, ironically. Because I have the impression that you have a plan and that fits, in my experience, an informed (i.e. Fascist) Scene better than an uninformed (i.e. Liberal) Scene.
By the way, whose vote is still missing?
