Questions: What made you leave your vote on Peradon after RVS? What are your reads of people right now?
Already answered the first question. As for the second, Deus is my top scumpick for now. OSG is giving me a weird gut feeling, but I can't really say in which direction. Tiruin I can almost never read. I really don't like flabort. 4mask is active, but I'm not necessarily getting a strong town vibe from him. Varee is the spiritual successor to Org. Everyone else I'm pretty neutral on right now.
Varee:
You never responded to this.Persus13:
Does it bother anyone how few lynch candidates there are?
What do you mean by this?
flabort:
I see... so it sounds like you'd have to be super active at all times of the week, day and night, in order to 'toony tunnel' enough people to be on par with traditional spread-out scum-hunting. Agree or disagree?
If you wanted to do that with multiple people, possibly. I think the idea is to only put the thumbscrews on one player at a time. I think that coupling that technique with exploring leads on a handful of other players at the same time works well, and is something I've done before.

Shakerag: I've seen that list, it's horrible, and it should go burn in hell. Those aren't scumtells, those are tells that someone is fed up or can't see a way out of their situation.
Regardless of your opinion on that list, my point was that I believe OSG is a new-ish player, and we tell new players to look for certain behaviors as scummy, which is what it appeared OSG was doing. If you think that those scumtells should be reviewed, we can bring that up in one of the discussion threads.
As a side note, I'm also against a massclaim in a game like this.
- Roles can change essentially immediately after the claim, both by the claimer (shopping) and by other players using powers (changeling, for one).
- Inflate, Nerf, Recall, Boobytrap exist.
- If everyone claims and most players all have a particular power, Return and Power Steal become much more effective.
- Scum can see what powers everyone has and buy powers/autos to circumvent strategies to find the scum.
In a more static game like a Paranormal or a BYOR, sure. But I don't see this as an overall benefit to the town in this kind of game.
I don't like how
Deus Asmoth found an already dead player to be one of his top scumpicks on D1. Deus claimed he couldn't vote on D1. That's no excuse to not be scumhunting though. If he's scum, then he wouldn't really care who got lynched. Which is what I think led to him not really paying close attention to what was going on, and ended up fingering a dead player as scummy.
