4maskwolf: How do you tend to react to people sidelining you as "no way this person could be scum?" Keep in mind that you're scum, during this.
I dunno. What do you mean by that? I'm not gonna argue that I am scum, if that's what you mean.
I mean that, since you are
obviously scum, how would you react to people disregarding you as scum, and acting as if you're confirmed townie?

MastahCheese: Alright, [1] "scumbiscuit", [2] how do you think the best way to apply pressure to someone is? [3] What's the distinction between knowing if you've cracked a newbie, or a scum?
[1] Scumbuscuit.
[2] Well, if my methods are anything to go by, tunnel them relentlessly, and refuse to believe a thing they say. That's usually how I go about it.
[3] That's something I'm still working on. Really, it's very subtle on the few times I have been able to tell one way or the other. If I find myself starting to run out of thing to really attack them with, then they're probably scum. But if new things start cropping up at the same speed that others are being answered, then I'm usually convinced they're scum.
What about you? How do you go about it? And also, how much of a difference does it make with a vote being applied, in your opinion?
I think the best way to pressure someone is pretty much what you said. Vote them, tunnel them relentlessly until it's almost detrimental to you, and counter everything they say until they get so frustrated they slip. On the second part, I'm not so sure. I guess you'd have to know that person well enough to know if they're a newbie or not.
I think applying a vote gets someone's attention, and thus makes them more thorough in their answer.

mastahcheese: I am still not convinced of your innocence, scum! How angry would you be, on a scale from 1-10, if you got lynched D1 from lawlz RV? Would it be detrimental to your scum buddies?
pufferfish: You've been oddly quiet. Why haven't you asked me a question?
TDS: So might possibly be scum, and scum in a previous game. Who would be in your ideal scum team, for this?
