Might as well state my scumpicks...
Supercharazad, Who began the day reserved and cautious, And then became drastically "Excited" because I asked him about it...
He Is probably just trying to be better and I am ruining for him, or a newb that is Satisfied with being scum who ,When accused of being scum because of it, Became A tolerable degree of "Excited" to make it look like he is playing town by playing the way he usually is...
I can state without qualification that in a Beginner's Mafia game no player is going to be able to know their meta so well that they can act like town while advancing their scum goals.
You suspect that Supercharazad is trying to act like his normal self to appear town. Are you an expert on his meta? If you are, then you can state what's different about what he's doing.
Otherwise, he's acting like himself. In which case, you don't have much of a reason to vote for him.
I vote for shorten because I'm getting bored of waiting for something to happen, and some others seem to be thinking about it too.
Object to Shorten. There's still discussion going. As long as that's happening there's no reason to cut the day short.
Jim: Ah, alright, waiting to vote seems scummy, I'll remember that. My argument to vote SaintDraze is that almost everything he does seems scummy to me, I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that he is scum. (Example, voting me so as I couldn't vote him without an OMGUS accusation)
Everything he does seeming scummy to you is not a good reason. You need to list out your reasons in explicit detail. If your reasons are good, nobody will take issue with them. If your reasons are very good, you might convince people that your target is scum.
So list your reasons in explicit detail. Every single one. If you can't list them out, then you need to seriously reconsider why you think your target is scum.
Because, if you vote some right after they vote you, it looks like an OMGUS, even when it isn't. Another reason I asked for shorten is because 72 hours seems a bit long for a single day.
OMGUS is a worthless accusation in most cases. If you have good reasons, it's not an OMGUS. So don't worry about that.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure about joining this game in the first place, mainly because I'm terrible at judging people and tend to trust people unless they're acting ridiculously obvious. now that I've played for a bit, it seems I was right on my initial assessment. I can't be careful about my votes, cus waiting and not voting is a scummy action that only helps the mafia, I can't vote for the person who's acting, if not suspicious, at least very stupid, because that's bandwagoning, and everybody else has already explained in intricate detail what he's been doing that's suspicious, so any reasons I do give will be piggybacking on somebody else's, and I can't find faults with people's posts enough to interrogate them because I'm not that kind of person, so I guess I can either get replaced with the next person in line, or get voted out, cus I can't figure out a way I can play this game.
You should worry less about tiptoeing through the minefield of scumtells and just do everything you can think of to catch scum. In fact, you shouldn't worry about tiptoeing through the minefield of scumtells at all. Just do what you need to do to catch scum.
Seriously. Fuck tiptoeing around scumtells. If you do that and just go find scum you will be town and there's nothing anybody will be able to say otherwise.
This is an important enough lesson that I should probably stress this. More often than not new players learn the lesson that they should be trying to avoid scum tells. This is the absolute wrong lesson to take away from this game. You should be finding scum.
As you get more and more experienced you'll get better at not dropping scum tells in the first place. Mafia is a feedback loop in that regard; what people accuse you of being scummy for you will learn and avoid in the future. But do not,
do not, avoid scum tells at the cost of finding scum. That's scummy and will get you lynched anywhere outside of here.
