If you want to know what I was thinking it was this: Vector was obviously scum.

That would be why I killed anyone who was in danger of needing replacement.

I thought it might have been something like that. Tried to keep a more competent player from taking his place?

The shorten was actually my newbishness, as I didn't realize that the text was for mod in the scumchat.

And the cop-claim was my idea, Vector was against it, in a line I missed in the scumchat.

Good game anyways, It was fun to be scum for the first time.

Looking back at it I think your claiming cop really saved the scum. Vector was probably going to be lynched by USEC and Toaster. Your announcement caused USEC and Toaster to withdraw their votes and me to suspect that they were scumbuddies.

No.  I'm specifically terrified of Webadict, and know that he's usually the first person to offer to sub into BMs.  "More competent" in general doesn't scare me, though the heavy fire it brings tends to be rather unpleasant.  Webadict, though... Webadict is scary, especially subbing in >_>

You aren't.  You're actually pretty good for a group of beginners, if a bit... erm... passive.  I'd say that your main problem is that you were so busy being polite/offended that you never really pressed anyone to see what came out.  The other thing is that, for all of the people who apparently "knew I was scum," none of them presented much of a case.  At all.  Bandages got farther then most of you, but when it came to the nitty-gritty of it, he backed off too (fearing a flame war, I guess, or deciding that I was too dumb to deal with).

Meh.  I tried to show off more in this game than I should have, and I had to catch myself being overly honest quite a few times.  I was also pretty passive on the night-kill, and going for broke/holding with my initial plan of skipping a night would have probably helped.

I didn't feel very close to being lynched, but... I guess you're saying I was that obvious, huh?  Man, I'm really bad at this ._.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Right here is where we should have figured it out.  You call out Otto, his next post ignores your vote- and you never follow up on it.  A slip, but we missed it.

Actually, you were nowhere near being lynched Vector. You should have been, but you weren't. So, likely scum would've won the next day with Ottofar leading a lynch on USEC even if you were lynched.

Scum won just fine.

I was talking about here. I don't know if Toaster and USEC were going to keep their votes on you, but I can remember the only reason I didn't vote was because I was afraid I'd look like a bandwagoner with a 3rd vote.

I'm not saying it was because you were a bad player Vector, it was because after Shibdib was revealed to be town it gave his previous accusations some credence (and Bandages before him). I wasn't trying to slight you, I was just trying to give Ottofar some credit.

Ahh, okay.  No, Ottofar was good to work with, especially near the end.  It was a risky move, to be sure, but it turned out to be a good one.  Enthusiastic scumbuddies are the best scumbuddies ~

Thanks, Webby.  Always good to hear from you.

On the other hand, everyone in the game had accused me of being scum at that point.  It's not exactly like I was trying to pick off people who thought I was scum.

Ya but no1 really pushed the issue cause you were good with deflecting attention elsewhere, which I called you out on a few times but no1 else picked it up and ran with it. I actually just said F it and was waiting for the lynch by that point.

Everyone knew, but nobody lynched me... ?  How bizarre.
