"
I can come up with one reason why you would post this as scum: to give yourself an excuse to be confusing and unhelpful. Given that you lost AFM3 by being too helpful, that strikes me as quite plausible! Maybe not as likely as an honest townsided-3P claim, but I have a hard time squaring that possibility with your weird logic throughout the game."
Sure. I am going to interpret this as a request to explain how I might play in this game I were scum in this game. Behavior such as you describe would be a first to me, though I can be motivated to be rude to those whose playstyles I actively and strongly find hostile and unpleasant. I have never, ever chosen to play other than towards a town wincon. I like this advice:
... find scum, which is your primary goal.
And because it bears repeating: Your primary goal is to find scum. Everything you do should help you towards that goal. And I do mean everything.
If you're scum, you will obviously have a different goal: Avoid detection until the end of the game. The best way to do this is to look like you are trying to find scum.
...So be bold, and just do the best you can. You're going to play this by aggressively questioning everything you find odd or scummy. This is to get you in the habit of asking questions a lot, since that's how the game of mafia is played and won.
Like many of us, I try to play similarly between games regardless of alignment. If I were scum now, I'd be trying to play in a apparently town-helpful way that slightly missed the mark (as town plays can easily do, for genuine reasons). I failed to miss the mark that game, the plan was good. I was not chosen to be a survivor, and had no way to change that, though I tried to create one. The chance didn't come. That was a weird-mechanics game with little wriggle room and genuinely a mechanical means with a true 60% chance of a town win. Town-imp would never walk away from that. Would say it existed too. Max claimed he saw it first, and probably did, I didn't understand. 100% no way I could avoid that, to my thinking, without looking not-town-imp.
Instead, the question to ask is, 'why would scum imp use this method here? Why would town imp do it?'
I can't tell you why scum imp would do what I'm doing. Surely I'd have a better answer, in this game, as scum - I legit didn't have wriggle room in the shooting mechanics game.
But I can tell you why town imp would do what I'm doing, I already did, many times. It's literally the only reason why I can imagine town-imp, or survivor imp, or any other imp doing what I'm doing. Because I have no wriggle room, because I done messed up post 1.
