As for why lets say Jim and Joe decided to vote on whoever votes on the other one, now on comes Bob who votes on Jim, predictably Joe votes on Bob, who almost calls Joe out for chainsawing but then he realizes he could have plenty of other reasons. Then M.O.D.O.K comes and votes on Joe, which causes Jim to vote on M.O.D.O.K, who then accuses them of double chainsawing, then Obi-wan, Deadpool, and Naruto vote to lynch Jim, closely followed by Joe next round.
I appreciate the humor in your name choices. This is a best-case scenario. HOWEVER, it will almost never play out this way, unless the scumteam is incredibly new. Why? Because the scumteam knows this. Scumteams are better at distancing themselves than I would like, which usually means that the town must pick off the individual scum as opposed to the team.
That being said, I'm glad you mentioned the chainsaw defense. This is one of the scumtells that is under discussion for removal from the list, because of its uselessness in modern games. As a general rule, take a look at the scumtells on that list, but they are NOT, by any measure, the be-all-end-all of scumtells.
In my personal experience, the best way to find scum is to know your enemy. If you know who you're playing against, know how they play as town, you can detect anomalies when they are scum much easier. This is irrelevant to the current game, because few of you have played with each other before, but is important to keep into account in the future.If I'm scum, it generally builds up to a refuge in audacity. If I'm town... it's funny. And it's a good talking point.
A good talking point it may be, but it also serves as an unecessary distraction during scumhunting. Generally, it's considered acceptable to assume you are town when giving hypothetical scenarios, but outright saying you are town is... just a tad odd, to be frank. There's nothing I can say is wrong with it, per se, but if it starts distracting from scumhunting or pissing off the other players enough to lynch you then it's a problem.
4maskwolf, do you not have a strong suspicion as to who is scum at the moment?
No. It's Day One. As far as I am concerned, there is no such thing as a strong suspicion Day One in a beginner game, because every tool I have at my disposal is missing.
True enough. I am town.
Next reason: this repetition annoys(drives crazy(oh)) people. Their continued emotional reactions will eventually end in the truth of their statements. Eventually something will slip.
Possibly. But probably not. You're more likely to annoy the other players enough that you get lynched on shaky grounds rather than actually force someone to slip.
