Assuming that none of the cops are scum, that would mean that either NUKE9.13 or Apostolic Nihilist is our last scum.
I'm actually at the point of asking for either a request or mod-kill for NUKE9.13 (and negative karma, if people keep track of that) because he hasn't posted in a very long time. If a mod-kill, that would help narrow things down at least.
On the other hand, there's actually a decent case against Apostolic Nihilist...
- webadict named me, Nuke, and AN as scum before dying (he's the type that would put an actual scum in the list)
Thus it's either Nuke or Eduren, assuming all cops are town.
I have an ability that could help here; we can kill the both of them tonight.
- Eduren is one of the cops. Scum have a tendency to not always think all the way through their scum claims, because they actually know who the scum are, thus they would make mistakes like this. Could be an honest mistake, but it feels scummy to me.
Right, so I'm Billy Bob Thornton -- at night, I can kill someone who complimented me during the day.
Perhaps the ultimate anti-buddying measure, but markedly useless in my hands this game.
It should be as simple as getting them both to compliment me then lynching one of them; I'll take out the other tonight.
- This sounds like a perfect scum ability. Just get someone to insult them and then you have a night kill. Especially when you don't normally get one.
....
Apost, I'm almost 100% certain you're scum. Why is that? Well, it's because you're displaying your bonafide scumtell.
When you're scum and being accused, you chop your posts up like this. When you're town and being accused, you write in nice paragraphs.
Sorry, but I don't buy it.
- Vector thought that he was scum based on posting style. AN tried to back off once caught, but things like this are a decent way of identifying scum in forum games where you cannot read expressions.
(AN, if you are scum, this is something to really keep in mind in the future...
)
So in this setup presumably we have several cops, all with questionable sanities, along with an assortment of other town roles.
I'm willing to trust Dakarian/Vector here; webadict seems guilty.
- Joining a bandwagon against a scum buddy that you were pretty sure was going to die? You were the third vote, no-one else even had any votes on them at that point.
Anyways, I think I've managed to convince myself that (assuming cops are town) AN is the last scum.
