These are the players who haven't made an earnest attempt to lynch Pisswolf:

NQT
TDS
Toony
Deus
UXLZ
Scripten
Tiruin
Toaster

Of the above, we can discount TDS, UXLZ and Tiruin as these are all players that Pisskop has tried to push a lynch onto. This leaves:

NQT, Toony, Deus, Scripten, Toaster

Toony appeared on one of Pisskop's hit lists. I know I'm not scum. So if Pisskop is scum that leaves Deus, Scripten, Toaster + Pisskop as the most likely scum team if Pisskop is scum. Do you think that's plausible?

I... Hmm.

UXLZ just brought in the idea of bussing, so that complicates things (But he could very well be right, so we should take that into account)

DA... could be scum. I won't rule that out. I've already expressed suspicion of Scripten. Toaster is... I could believe that. There's nothing that screams "town" to me on any of them, so yeah, let's go with that.
Overall, I think that sounds like a possibility, but I don't think even the best Mafia player in the world could figure out the entirety of the scum team on D1. Not that I'm downing your idea, but there's no hard evidence on any of this.

But that's... Certainly an idea to think on...

Jim
Do you think of Shakerag's desire not to play in light of his belief that he'll be killed in the night reflects on his alignment?

It could, but not strongly. If he was on a team and they had the capacity to stop the kill I don't think he would make a message like that. I don't think it's that strong of an indicator because he could easily be on a team that doesn't have the capacity to stop the kill, or he could be town, or whatever else have you.

I suppose it very weakly indicates non-dopp, but not really enough to matter.

Pisskop.

Is there any bandwagon you won't jump on?

Holy crap. ~50 posts to reply to, at least almost a full page. I can't decide whether to answer in order or not.

OK, not. I'll answer the important things first. This is going to be a huge-ass post.

flabort: Is Jim the one you're collaborating with in regard to your night kill? Considering that he's previously said that he's against directing the kill of our vigilante, I think it'd be worth telling the rest of us if he's behaving so hypocritically. A yes/no will suffice if you don't want to reveal the identity of your partner in crime.
Hell no. I BCC'd him because I KNEW he'd post it in the thread. Which he did. Because I knew he was opposed to telling the vig who to kill.

He is not the person I talked with.

EBWOP:

Also I suggested some names.  If Flabort is going to name names I'm going to suggest he also name his handler; the one who is dictating who he will shoot. Because he has one.
Emphasis mine: Pisskop, nobody but you gave me a list of 'acceptable targets' or 'suggestions'. YOU were the one telling me who to kill, dictating who you wanted dead.

The other person? Only asked who I planned to kill at the time so that when it happened they could back me up on it. And when I listed your name as one of the targets, they said
Quote
My advice, which you can take or ignore at your leisure: kill Shakerag. Pisskop's role can be confirmed by asking who he targeted tomorrow and getting that player to confirm the truth/falsity of his action claim. Also, if you kill him and he flips human reporter then regardless of your alignment, you'll be lynched D2. Right now, we don't know anything about Shakerag.
So I object to your use of the term handler to describe this person, who I may or may not reveal later in this post. Because all they did was say "I support you" and "Don't kill pisskop, just in case he's town".


Since (as of the time of your post) it's more than 24 hours to day end, not voting your top suspect is also an offense.

Toaster for similar to Jim on votes, and mostly being unreadable (Due to brevity of sentence structure?)

You sound like my mother.  (Who is an English teacher and always got on to me for that when I wrote papers in school.)

Also, where is Shakerag "jestering?"
OK, well I'm back to voting them now. Anyways, if using my vote effectively by preventing ties is scummy, I don't care about that.

Check most of Shakerag's posts. This: is just asking for someone to ask questions. This is the same. But those aren't what I wanted to touch on. Off-topic Vote-baiting posts like these are why I suspect he's a jester, or purposely acting like one.

Flabort: You don't have to kill those people. Those days are over. You don't have to sell your body to the night nightkill anybody except those who you believe are scummy, and even if you think those proposed to your by Mr. Private are scummy, pick someone else just so scum can't plan around your kill. Nobody should be dictating who you're killing except you.
Just because pisskop sold you on the idea that I was being coerced into killing who someone else wanted me to, doesn't mean I was. The only person Dictating was pisskop. Also, he has some sort of thing for you, since he asked about you twice in the first list and again in the second.

He claimed reporter, in that he can follow people to see where they go.
Or more importantly, see who visits someone, which if we are to let him go again, and if he is to target me, I would rather he do than seeing who I visit, because he could gather a lot more information than one target.

I'm overdue for voting him, TheDarkStar

Buh? You, of all people? Weren't you AGAINST that lynch earlier?
Jim is -null-.  Nothing on him either way, but I know nothing about him, so I'm watchful.
Shakerag is looking, so there is that.
TheDarkStar I am suspicious of, but have nothing to present.
Never mind, you were on the wagon before you voted, I just didn't see it. These other two are interesting, though.
Firstly, you've just jumped from a null read to a full on scum read of Jim. Why?
But also interesting is your read of Shakerag. Is that a town read? A neutral read? It's very unclear, but positive towards him.
neato.  I can approve.   But I don't get shaker, personally.
And here, in the PMs. You say you don't understand why I want to kill shakerag. I've been scum reading him this whole time, and you can't understand that? OK. So, you imply that you'd rather he be alive. OK. Why do you not want to give a clear read on shakerag, and why do you not want me to kill him?

-He was hoping to snowball Cheetar's vote (scum)
WTF does this mean?

UXLZ

Then why didn't you quote my one as well? I feel left out. D;

You've been talking to others but not me?  :-[ . . .



Jim
. . . and so have you, Jim.  Are you the one who is advising Flabort?
Why would UXLZ talk to you in private? Nobody trusts you, pisskop. Wake up and smell the coffee. I brew it fresh every 20 minutes. If you can't see that you're suspicious, then it's because you're not paying attention. I bet you didn't even PM TolyK.

And again, no, Jim is not the one 'advising' me. Which actually is the most accurately you've put it so far.

TolyK Have you received any PMs from pisskop after your prompt? Sorry about revealing it.
Yes I know TolyK is not playing, I'm not the only one to address him.


Flabort
Its not a hitlist.  Let's stop calling it that.  I made you suggestions, based upon how I felt at the time.
You say based on how you felt at that time; they were who you wanted dead at that time. It was a list of people you wanted dead. That's a hitlist, by definition. It wasn't made a mandatory thing, no, but it's still a hitlist.


Quote
I responded, and His rrply indicated that he does NOT want me killing one of my two targets I chose. Pisskop, why are you buddying shakerag?
You are going to have to show me where I buddied Shaker.  This is exactly why I think he is town.  It's almost too nonlogical to be a calculating scum
Check the PM above. If you're not paying attention and can't see it, here:
neato.  I can approve.   But I don't get shaker, personally.
Why don't you 'get' that I find shakerag suspicious? Why is this "personal" to you?

Quote
PFP so can't quote now, but Tiruin should have recieved the conversation, so she can, maybe. If not, then Jim.
I've already asked Tiruin about her PMs she received, and she has not responded.  She claims to have never received PMs, and yet Flabort trusts her enough to send her a copy of his select portions of our conversation.  She is very clearly lying, and as I see it now She and Jim make a decent scum-pair.
I sent it to multiple people. I was just mistaken this morning, and THOUGHT that I had sent it to one more person than I did. Sorry, Tiruin, I meant to BCC you.
Jim, NQT, and UXLZ were the recepients of the PM.

Flabort, who were you talking to in the PM you referenced in our Private Chat?
TolyK. Not really, but search the thread, you'll find "him", you'll figure out who I mean.

PPE: pisskop, who exactly is it that you think is manipulating flabort? Tiruin or Jim? Why is it so much worse than your own suggestions about who he should kill?
I especially agree with this cyan part. Why do you think you're in the right when "TolyK" is in the wrong?
What makes what you're doing any less scummy than this:
Quote
Who were you thinking of killing tonight if you're not lynched? If you tell me, I can confirm that that was your intention when people question you tomorrow. Also, this way you don't have to declare it in the thread (giving your target unnecessary warning).

I don't know who you made plans with previously but I don't think you should be listening to anybody on who you decide to kill, and certainly not pisskop.

I know that. Why do you think I exposed his slot's third PM based gambit by forwarding it to you?

Pisskop's slot has been acting strangely, and is posting style makes me reflexively want to lynch the crap out of him, but I can see potential town motive in him trying to push Flabort to vig players. (He's a watcher variant, isn't he?)

You make it seem like pisskop's role is an important part of whatever potential town motive he has for telling flabort who he wants dead.

I don't see it, personally.
And neither do I.

We have this issue where pisskop is saying "flabort thinks I'm scum!" while flabort agrees to not kill him, and instead says he's planning on killing Shake or TDS, so now Shake is depressed.
This whole time, I've been trying to wrap my head around things, to see who is scummiest. But now there's so many people irritating me, that I'm actually feeling inclined to agree with Jim, of all people.
Because I'm willing to keep an open mind, I agreed that on the 1% chance that pisskop is town I wouldn't kill him, because him flipping town would lead to me being lynched immediately.
And what's wrong with agreeing with Jim? At least, right now.

I think I've discovered a way to find out whether it's Jim that's trying to manipulate flabort even sooner than you were thinking. It's at the top of this post.
Nope, don't have any PMs from Shakerag.

-writing up a long post about the last four hundred posts now, I apologize for the absence and weekend inactivity-
Glad you could join us. It seems you're not the current lynch candidate, but you came awfully close. How does that make you feel? What do you think of the current shenanigans?

Pisskop.

Is there any bandwagon you won't jump on?
I don't think he's voted for me yet. Especially not when there was a wagon on me. Is there still one? I need a vote count.

Unofficial:
TDS: UXLZ, Deus
Pisskop: cheeetar, flabort, mastahcheese, Jimbot
Tiruin: Pisskop, scripten, NQT
UXLZ: Shakerag
Flabort: Toaster, TDS
Shakerag: Toonyman
Not voting: Persus, Deathsword

Eh, I guess there is a small one.

I can confirm that I got a PM from Flabort. Though I am quite confused as to why.
I believe the exact thing has already been quoted in this thread, so I won't do so.

NotQuiteThere:

Persus/TDS/Deus/Toast/Cheetar-- what is it about Flabort's play makes them specifically more likely to be scum than not? Or in other words, do you think his actions could be the calculated manoeuvres of an player with a scumteam backing? Or do you think they're a loose-cannon scum? Surely their vigilante claim is pretty easy to test?

He's most likely either a desperate dopp who made a mistake or a malevolent third party who wanted to get a town PR killed. Either way, he's bad news for the town.

@TDS: Note on Flabort, you vote him after being asked by NQT? Query on why then, and not before? While it seems more like a pressure vote to me...*looks up*, the time is ending at 5pm today...(unless I totally got my inner timezone conversion wrong)

I voted him at that time because it was the first time I posted after the flabort/4mask thing.

Cheese
These are the players who haven't made an earnest attempt to lynch Pisswolf:

NQT
TDS
Toony
Deus
UXLZ
Scripten
Tiruin
Toaster

Of the above, we can discount TDS, UXLZ and Tiruin as these are all players that Pisskop has tried to push a lynch onto. This leaves:

NQT, Toony, Deus, Scripten, Toaster

Toony appeared on one of Pisskop's hit lists. I know I'm not scum. So if Pisskop is scum that leaves Deus, Scripten, Toaster + Pisskop as the most likely scum team if Pisskop is scum. Do you think that's plausible?

If Pisskop is not scum, who is the most likely scum team? Also, did you consider the possibility that he's getting bussed (especially by later votes)?

Everyone How would you feel about a TDStar or Shakerag lynch?
Either would be OK, though I'm still most suspicious of Tiruin. I'll see what things look like before the end of the day.

Why would either be OK when you think someone else is more scummy?

Toaster:

TheDarkStar:
pfp want to get to more stable environment before responding in full.

But it was an accident at first, I didn't realize that those were the only PMs so far, and when 4mask completely blew up over it I decided to see just how far I could push him.

Also, I'm a human vigilante and was planning to poke a hole in his gambit anyways. Revealing it instead of killing him serves my purposes and allows me to target someone else.
Now I've revealed too. 4mask, what do you say to that?

Why did you want to kill him for his gambit? Also, why are you blaming 4mask for outing your role? Both of these are really scummy - killing scumhunters and pushing blame on others.

Hm?  Where does Flabort say 4mask is to blame for his role being out?

"Now I'm revealed too. 4mask, what do you say to that?"

He's basically saying "Look what you made me do!", and putting the blame on 4mask for his own mistakes is scummy.

This post also brought something up:

flabort (currently my vote for reasons already stated): Why were you going to kill 4mask before revealing anything?

Other things for flabort:

Anyways:

Most Scum
Pisskop Do I need to explain again?
TheDarkStar Active Lurking, Wagoning, tunnelling
Shakerag Lurking, Jestering
Deathsword Active Lurking, Wagoning, tunnelling
Toonyman for Active Lurking
UXLC for gut feeling and slightly odd responces
NotQuiteThere for lurking
Jim Groovester for a fixtation on votes; also the person most concerned about my reaction to PMs
Persus13 for lurking
Toaster for similar to Jim on votes, and mostly being unreadable (Due to brevity of sentence structure?)
Deus Asmoth You could use larger posts, but you'd been active enough and your thoughts on the situation are definitely appreciated.
Tiruin Even though there's a lot of null-neutral reads, I think they're interesting.
Mastahcheese Very well thought out reads list despite the confusion.
Scripten Very understanding and mellow of anything anyone points against him, great engagement with the game, very well thought out. Would like to see reads.
Cheeetar Third highest post count. Asks very relevant questions. Quick to break down a reads list, and always the one asking for more information. Very logical, too, though I'd like to see reads from him too.
Most Town

 Hah, I don't know why but lurker tracker when set to automatically detect nonplayers says Cheeetar isn't playing. But lists his vote anyways.

NQT are you doing a compilation spreadsheet of reads again? Can you see anything interesting?

To echo some things that I didn't see answered (point out the answers if I missed them):

Why aren't you voting for the most scummy person?
How am I tunneling while active lurking?
Same for DS.
How is jestering scummy?
Why am I more scummy than DS?
Why are NQT, Persus, Toaster, and Jim in the order that they are despite pairs of similar or identical reads?
Why are your reads based so much on post count?

I would have changed my vote to any of my four top suspects if it looked like it would help get them lynched. Since my vote was tying up the lynch between Deathsword and Pisskop at the time, it would not have helped get either of them lynched. If nobody was voting for Deathsword, it also would not have meant anything if I voted him because it wouldn't help decide the lynch in any meaningful way.

If you could have your way who would you lynch? I.E., who is your tip-top suspect?
Either Pisskop or TheDarkStar. Preferably the former, but I know think it's unlikely to happen at this point.

Why do you find me scummy?

...OK, people don't want to lynch Pisskop because they feel the PMs were initially misinterpreted.
People don't want to lynch Deathsword because he's being replaced.

Everyone How would you feel about a TDStar or Shakerag lynch?

I'm against lynching myself for obvious reasons (wasting a lynch and all that). I'm against lynching Shakerag because he's been lurking and there are much better lynch candidates.

mastahcheese:

You know what? Since I hate when people agree on things, Scripten.

A few people have read you as town-like, including myself, and it almost feels like you've grown bolder in your accusations since then, and less wary.
Like you're using that as some kind of shield, knowing that you can pull back on those in order to defend yourself with, in order to solidify your position, should someone get suspicious.
The thing is, I can't exactly quote individual posts to prove this point, because it's entirely a gut feeling. But it honestly feels like you've become more bold since people started supporting you.
I also don't like the frequency in which you switch targets, and even say
Unvote Toonyman

This post seems town enough to warrant looking elsewhere for the time being.
Are you looking for actual scum-tells, or are you looking for incriminating details?

You're attacking Scripten for scumhunting and getting better at scumhunting. Why do you think his actions are scummy?

NQT
UXLZ/Scripten/Cheese: can you name a player other than Pisskop and Flabort that has done something suspicious today?
TheDarkStar. I was even about to vote him before Pisskop got my attention.

Why?

Like my vote on Scripten means anything anyway, when it's in blatent disagreeance with everyone else.

So you're going to jump on the bandwagon instead of scumhunting?

Vote TDS, I'd be less comfortable with a shakerag lynch, since TDS has actually done stuff I've viewed scummy, rather than simply being scarce.
[/quote]

And the things I have done are...?

Deus Asmoth:

First post in just a few meaningless RQS stuff.
Second post is one line of meaningless RQS stuff.

Third post is a super bandwagony vote on Flabort with weak reasoning. Cheeetar and 4mask actually called him out on it, too. He responded to neither of them (note added during reply#455: Double check that he actually wasn't responding to them or their points at all at all, rather than simply not quoting or recognising them in his posts.)

Fourth post was him suspecting me. I answered those suspicions and... No followup.

Fifth and sixth post are the same thing, the formatting just screwed up in the fifth one. (So essentially he's only made 5 posts, only 2 really meaningful in any way, and I'll one actually containing any reasonable amount of content. The last one.)

Quote from: TDS
There might be problems that occur if you assume that flabort is a dopp, but remember that there are lots of evil third-parties here that would have no issues with outing town power roles.

He actually makes a fairly good argument at this point, though he seems oddly that there are definitely evil third-parties (not all third parties are evil, though there are a majority) in this game. Strange wording, but it may just be his way of talking.

Quote from: TDS
4mask had a strategy for finding scum. Flabort, knowing about it, decided to destroy the plan. He said that he wasn't worried about the plan causing any danger to himself iirc, but he still told everyone about it (and outed an investigative role). If that won't send a scumkill straight at 4mask/pisskop, I don't know what will (because flabort could always be evil third-party). Even if flabort was a dopp, it still destroyed 4mask's scumhunting efforts.

An odd fixation on evil third parties again, and I'm not sure what to make of it. I disagree with the last part because I believe not revealing the plan would have been better for the dopp team, but I'll withhold that reasoning unless someone feels like asking.

You agree with me and think I'm scummy anyway. What is it that makes me scummy? Why do you think flabort isn't a third party?

Why did you join the bandwagon?

Pisskop, what was the reason for the differences in your PMs? How did you decide who got which one?

So, some reads:
TDS: Also pretty inactive, but my problem here is that even in his longer posts he hasn't been doing much in the way of scumhunting. His last post was focussed entirely on supporting the flabort wagon and the ones before it were all very brief. Aside from his first post and one to UXLZ, all of his comments have been about that wagon.

At the time I posted, almost all of anyone's non-RVS comments were about that wagon. Along with this, I was scumhunting in what time I could (I've been fairly inactive across the entire mafia forum for the last few days since then). Why does my post make me scummy? What do you think of the wagon that grew around me and disappeared within three or so pages?

UXLZ:

Okay, yep, TDStar, you have a few things to answer for.
I've written all my reasoning out, but seeing as TDS is online, I'm going to wait to see if he responds and how he responds before posting it. If I forget, please do remind me.

Why the active lurking?
Why the bandwagon on Flabort?
Why the lack of responses to the people calling out your bandwagoning on Flabort?

Here's your reminder. Anyway, I responded to people by explaining my vote. Why are you putting so little effort into voting for me? Why have you barely scumhunted?

Jim Groovester: - vote runner-up

If TheDarkStar was prodded but hasn't posted, then he's intentionally lurking and would therefore be a well-justified lynch.

I was not prodded.

Ah, it was the wording of 'compelling arguments' wasn't it? That was a bit of a verbal cock-up, rather than 'arguments that show he is definitely scum', I meant something more along the lines of 'arguments that show this discussion is worth continuing with at the moment.'

Hrrrrrm. Okay.

Do you personally think the flabort/4maskwolf/pisskop kerfluffle is worth continuing to discuss?


This is odd - you don't want us scumhunting? This isn't the only note you make about this, either - I'd say you wanted to remove suspicion from flabort or pisskop.

As I mentioned, I suspect TheDarkStar but I want to look back and get a really good grip of what's going on in this game, and on him and flabort in particular.

And now that I've done that, I think I'll go ahead and vote TheDarkStar. His content is low and poor and his vote is more than a little bandwagony.

I've given my reasons for voting. Yes, my content is low, but not as low as other people. My vote was for someone that other people were voting, but I had a justification for that vote that other people didn't suggest. What is it specifically that makes/made you suspicious of me?

PFP

...4 guys are voting Deathsword...for being not here?
Out of all people, that kinda vote seems valid? I mean, I could get it at a later time but...
...?

Says the dudette not voting anybody.

How is this a response to Tiruin's comment? It's an attack on something unrelated to dodge the question.

Do you still think TDS is the scummiest player?

I do but I'm currently watching all the current exchanges with interest.

His last post was on the 22nd and he's posted elsewhere around the forum since then. I don't know what's that about and I'm not going to give him too much crap for disappearing (it's easier for busy people to make posts elsewhere than in here) but his content as it stands is mediocre and worsens the longer he goes without posting.

To put it in terms of a pithy quip, he's gone from active lurking to actual lurking.

What have I done, specifically, that makes my scummy?

Everyone: What do you think of the wagons on me, Scripten, and 4maskkop? Who do you see as scummy for being on them?

Reasons behind FoSes:

mastahcheese - bandwagoning and attacking Scripten for scumhunting.
UXLZ - A lack of content and voting effort. While I'm not sure why he hasn't posted much (POST MORE UXLZ), he has an FoS until he does more.
Jim - Trying to get suspicion off of suspicious people, going after people for town-oriented actions, bandwagoning to some extent.

PPE: ...and ten new replies show up. I'll get to any I haven't responded to in a later post; this post took three hours to write and I need a rest.

Also, why did you put all of my reasoning under Deus? Was it a formatting issue? That's a bit... Odd...
In fact, I'm inclined to believe that it wasn't a formatting issue because you seem to have not even realised that it was me talking, despite the fact that it's my name in the quote header.

In regards to yourself, well... You missed it.
In regards to in general... You missed it, again.

flabort (currently my vote for reasons already stated): Why were you going to kill 4mask before revealing anything?

Other things for flabort:

Anyways:

Most Scum
Pisskop Do I need to explain again?
TheDarkStar Active Lurking, Wagoning, tunnelling
Shakerag Lurking, Jestering
Deathsword Active Lurking, Wagoning, tunnelling
Toonyman for Active Lurking
UXLC for gut feeling and slightly odd responces
NotQuiteThere for lurking
Jim Groovester for a fixtation on votes; also the person most concerned about my reaction to PMs
Persus13 for lurking
Toaster for similar to Jim on votes, and mostly being unreadable (Due to brevity of sentence structure?)
Deus Asmoth You could use larger posts, but you'd been active enough and your thoughts on the situation are definitely appreciated.
Tiruin Even though there's a lot of null-neutral reads, I think they're interesting.
Mastahcheese Very well thought out reads list despite the confusion.
Scripten Very understanding and mellow of anything anyone points against him, great engagement with the game, very well thought out. Would like to see reads.
Cheeetar Third highest post count. Asks very relevant questions. Quick to break down a reads list, and always the one asking for more information. Very logical, too, though I'd like to see reads from him too.
Most Town

 Hah, I don't know why but lurker tracker when set to automatically detect nonplayers says Cheeetar isn't playing. But lists his vote anyways.

NQT are you doing a compilation spreadsheet of reads again? Can you see anything interesting?

To echo some things that I didn't see answered (point out the answers if I missed them):

Why aren't you voting for the most scummy person?
How am I tunneling while active lurking?
Same for DS.
How is jestering scummy?
Why am I more scummy than DS?
Why are NQT, Persus, Toaster, and Jim in the order that they are despite pairs of similar or identical reads?
Why are your reads based so much on post count?

I would have changed my vote to any of my four top suspects if it looked like it would help get them lynched. Since my vote was tying up the lynch between Deathsword and Pisskop at the time, it would not have helped get either of them lynched. If nobody was voting for Deathsword, it also would not have meant anything if I voted him because it wouldn't help decide the lynch in any meaningful way.

If you could have your way who would you lynch? I.E., who is your tip-top suspect?
Either Pisskop or TheDarkStar. Preferably the former, but I know think it's unlikely to happen at this point.

Why do you find me scummy?

...OK, people don't want to lynch Pisskop because they feel the PMs were initially misinterpreted.
People don't want to lynch Deathsword because he's being replaced.

Everyone How would you feel about a TDStar or Shakerag lynch?

I'm against lynching myself for obvious reasons (wasting a lynch and all that). I'm against lynching Shakerag because he's been lurking and there are much better lynch candidates.


PPE: ...and ten new replies show up. I'll get to any I haven't responded to in a later post; this post took three hours to write and I need a rest.
I know what you mean on that PPE. There's a lot of content.

I was going to quietly kill 4maskwolf to prove the flaw in his thinking, and either remove any such flawed thinking from the town or kill a scum. There was also the possibility that I would have died doing so, but I was willing to accept it. I wanted to get it done quickly without a big kerfluffle, which is what happened when Jim asked about the PMs.

I answered why earlier, but my reason for not going with my top suspect was to break a tie, and get a lynch on one of my top four suspects. Plural, top suspects plural.

You were tunneling by only putting up a case against one person, aka me. You were active lurking by obviously having read the thread, as indicated by the quotes in your posts earlier, but not posting any more than what you did. The two aren't mutually exclusive. If I said you were lurking and posting too much, well that would be a contradiction.

Same answer for DeathSword.

Acting like a bad jester is one way to avoid being lynched. Because people don't want to lynch the spore spreader. Who would want to avoid dying so much that they would employ strategies like being purposefully bad? Scum.

You're both in the same color bracket, aren't you? But yes, you're more scummy to me than DS because you managed, before going off the grid, to put out even less content than him.

They're in the same color bracket. That means they're more or less equal right now. Specific reasons for Jim and NQT being less town than Persus or toaster? Simply that they've got more funny things going for them, as a direct result of larger and more frequent posts. That is the null-to-neutral range, after all.

Because... because. I can't keep up with all the content in each post anymore, so I've been skimming a bit. >.> Post count tells me who's able to keep up and pay attention, and therefor who's generally more likely to be responding to scum-hunting questions and asking more questions of their own.

I find you scummy for the aforementioned reasons. You only made your attacks against one person, and then you dropped off the face of the forum; but were active elsewhere.

Interesting that one of my scumpicks is against lynching another one of my scumpicks. And also, shakerag stopped lurking far before you did.

Quote from: Meph's Role List
 
   Infester: The Infester must manually go to targets as a Night Action, infesting the target with Spores. The goal of the Infester is to have ALL surviving players at the end of the game infected with spores. The Infester need not be alive to win, and in fact when Lynched (but not killed otherwise), the Infester releases a spore cloud that randomly infects one of the non-infected players. The spores of this Alien are biological/nanomachine hybrids, and are therefore blocked by a Tech Shield. Guards may protect the target, and will be effected as normal for the guard type by the infection.

Bloom: This Spore Spreader has a special ability that allows it to Seed the area with Alien plants at night once during the game. All players will be made aware of the plants the following morning. That day, the players MUST perform a lynch. If the SS is lynched that day, it will send forth a cloud of chemicals that will activate the plants. The plants then release spores that convert all other players into Spore Spreaders, and winning the game for the SS. If the SS is not lynched, then it will die the following night and lose.
    Tech: 0 Slots
    Victory: All players at game end Infected/The Spore Spreader must be lynched the day following the Seeding.

Actually Flabort, lynching the spore spreader is something you want to do. At least, the blooming kind (Assuming it hasn't planted its seeds). The infestor is ehhh~, but the Infestor also doesn't actively want to be lynched, since they have a night action. It's just preferable to them to be lynched than NK'd.

-snip-

My eyes started glazing over at some point through writing my post and dealing with the massive amount of information. Consider the post by you under your catagory.

I realize now that you've been posting, but most of your posts don't say that much.

Scumpicks can argue against each other; there might be four dopps, but there are usually plenty of third-parties in Paranormal games.

PPE: UXLZ: The Spore Spreader could always set things up in advance, I guess. I'll have to look into the jester read more.

More responses later; I don't think I can handle writing anything else today.

What?! It says, "If the SS is not lynched, then it will die the following night and lose". The description describes if the players lynch the Bloom Spore Spreader after it's seeds are planted, then it wins! OK, yes, when they haven't spread their seeds yet, lynching them isn't a bad thing. But it's far safer to kill them at night anyways, just in case we missed the announcement that they seeded.

Going purely by post count is a pointless metric, especially in this scenario. He's accusing me of low content and I have more posts than anyone else.

Going by content, the only person with less content than TDS (though arguably that may have changed with his most recent post) is Deathsword.

Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying when you mentioned content.
