So, uh. What?
Aye, if I were scum I've drawn fairly significant attention to myself by attacking two townies in one day. If I were scum, why would I have to look at anyone else when you're the one in line to get lynched? If I were scum, having a townie get lynched would be fantastic for me. If I were scum, I would thus have no reason whatsoever to attack another player, my job would be done.
(Quote is taken a bit out of context, it's a reply to NJW about him "being focused on his theory hector is scum". Underline emphasis mine.)
Unfortunately, this cannot be an actual defense (unless you mean something else?).
Of course scum have to attack players, and the more the better, actually - they look more active, more towny, and they're on the offensive and thus don't need as much to defend themselves from. Plus, questioning can help decide who to look for power roles (remember - they have a rolecop), and potentially lynch power roles if they have a feeling about it.
Example: Let's say ATH and PlayerB (someone else) are scum, ATH is the rolecop (which seems likely to me
).
PlayerB was jailed and ATH didn't find him. Scum would prefer to find the jailkeeper and nightkill them, possibly with by ATH. Thus finding who it was is paramount.
Basically, scum need to "scumhunt" and multiple targets are also helpful. So what you said here isn't quite right, if you know what I'm saying.
First off, changing claims very quickly, both in results (though likely a mod mistake/timing thing/his incompetence) and saying who he targeted.
Could you elaborate on this? If he's not the real cop, how could it have been a mod mistake? What do you mean by "timing thing"?
(Pfp)
I mean that it could definitely be the mod sending PM's after opening the day that caused part of that ("I was jailed, oh wait here are results). The part where he said why he inspected Hector is still ballers.
Only the cop and rolecop get pmed a result from their action, so he'd have to be one of those roles to know about the late pms (unless he made up the whole thing). If you're right about him being scum, then that would mean he's the rolecop. But, if he is the rolecop and got his pm late, why would that cause him to quickly change who he claimed to investigate and his investigation result?
I'm guessing he either initially tried to confirm his teammate, got "wtf don't tie us together" as a response and tried to salvage the position, OR said who he actually rolecopped (if he had said "vanilla townie" I would be 99% sure he's scum) and decided to change his pick for... reasons? Maybe to his buddy? A lot of his actions seem poorly reasoned/hastily done. Could've been a rash decision.
