I sure am garnering a lot attention, aren't I? Well, it's all useful, regardless.
And it doesn't change the fact that your post consisted of trying to find advice on how to play scum. My vote stays where it is.
Leave your vote where you want it to be. In response to the rest... Firstly I'm not trying to get advice on how to
play scum, I'm trying to get advice on how a scum would
think. Even if you don't believe me and think I'm trying to learn how to play it... Where's the problem in that? It might be my naivety showing through but I fail to see how that is an issue. In fact, I think it's actively a non-issue. That is to say, any advice given would have no effect on this game in particular. At least, in the context of the advice itself. If you understand that and are simply trying to prevent people from learning how to play, or at least, how it is perceived they should play the sum in any game
ever I'd say that's quite short-sighted.
PPE: Yeah, that townclaim doesn't actually make you look any better. Anyone can say that they are town.
That wasn't what I was trying to bring attention to. Even ignoring that, I fail to see how saying 'I will not always be the town' is a town claim. You're reading into it too much, in this case. As I noted in my above post it is factually, 100% correct. At least, taken out of context like that.
PPE:
You do seem to be trying quite hard to appear as town, UXLZ.
Or maybe what I'm saying just naturally makes me appear as town?
You are though, of course, correct. That doesn't really matter though, what I'm appearing to be doesn't really matter, what I'm saying objectively should.
Not enough for me to want to vote for you, yet, but in saying that you are one vote away from having a majority against you. Perhaps you have concerns about another player you'd like to voice to convince me they're more likely to be scum than you?
Well, my original concerns were for Deus Asamoth, but in reading the rest of the posts they didn't seem to be the only ones casting random votes so those concerns were unfounded. Dani seemed awfully willing to up the count, voting for me due to my statement of:
(Also, I think they were just upset that I didn't vote for them to bring the vote counts to 1 each.)
I think you're misunderstanding something: Single votes have no power and exert very little pressure. 'Putting on' is quite the overstatement. You're going to need to find a buddy if you want to do that.
Which I'll admit may have been somewhat misguided and asking for trouble. I do think it's true though, which is the reason I believe I'm currently the only player without a standing vote. That, and casting it now would probably bring suspicion levels from healthy to lethal.
DarkStar seems to think that my questions about the mindset of a scum seem to be lynch worthy because... Screw people trying to learn different mindsets? I think people seem to keep interpreting my questions as 'How should I play scum?' rather than 'How does a scum player think?' which is saddening.
Truthfully though, I don't have too many suspicions because all the things I find somewhat suspicious I'm also capable of rationalising. It's kind of an unfortunate thing, but maybe I'm just too... Cautious a player.
