Yeah, the reason why I had you picked second for scum was that you were just kind of sitting there with nothing on me, in a passive and unproductive way.  It seemed very unlike the usual you.

I knew LNCP was Town due to his opening post where he thought there were no power roles, meaning he was a simple Townie. Scum would have known since they had a Roleblocker and a Godfather. He was easy to find.

Vector being scum would never have allowed Zrk to play as he did. The use of WIFOM at the end was terrible, and Vector would have had it focused elsewhere. Not only that, but Zrk had been going for Vector the entire time, which a team of them would never do. But, really, I wanted Vector to live on D1 since she would talk the next day. Plus it was reverse WIFOM: Putting Vector in the scopes of scum. Mostly because I'd never get killed with a living Doc, so she was naturally second.

But, then Zrk flipped scum, I figuredshe was Town, and then I started eliminating from there. I had SaintDraze, Jokerman, Leafsnail, Toaster, Vector, LNCP as most to least scummy.

Ahahahahahah. >.>


That was perfect play, and I'm feeling pretty good myself by having all this gloriousness around me.

I was far too inactive for this, in my opinion. I should get myself a proper work ethic.

Yeah, EVERYONE had their flavor based on their usernames. If you read the Google Document I posted, you'll see Leafsnail moonlighted as an ecoterrorist, Toaster had a hobby of arson, Web Addict was infamous for plotting, Vector was an exceptional sniper because of her mathematical talents ( :3 ) and such.

Also, the one set of Night PMs was there.

It's a shame the game didn't go on longer; I had been hoping to write some fun stuff for killing someone who'd been protected and for killing certain people. For instance, if Vector had been targeted that Claymore of hers would've shown up elsewhere. :3

@LNCP: If you had been scum, you would have won greatest scum alive with that first post. Not only is that magnificent WIFOM, it's such a minor detail that it would never be noticed otherwise. It's the little details that count as excellent scum, and that's what I look for in town.

Yeah, I would've been extremely blindsided by you being scum. And that's saying something. Just remember it for future games: it's actually very effective. I managed to bluff my way out of a Detective Gambit from Telepath Josh by accounting for little things. He claimed he was a Detective with a "No Role" inspect. I wanted to "test" his role, so I said that was a lie. He eventually conceded he was a Telepath with a "Kill" result, whereupon I took that up and claimed Vigilante. I then later claimed Exterminator when backed into a corner, tried to recruit the Survivor, WIFOMed the rest of the Town using that failed attempt, and then won after getting lynched.

The key to being scum and extraordinary scum is that extraordinary scum account for the minor details of being Town. If you forget that you aren't supposed to know something (Paranormal 2 - Alexhans knows I'm the "Agent" without me telling him) or you overplay your hand (Vote Mafia - ToonyMan controls the Lovestruck Voter, but Zai locks his vote), things can go wrong. Always know everything, but show only what you should know. Conversely, as Town, seem like you know everything, and try and actually find it out later.

Well, that answered most of what I was about to ask.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

It's one of those thing that near-confirms people but is almost impossible to think about ahead of time as scum.  As Web said, it's things like that that separate good scum from excellent scum.


Also, the title still says it's Day 2.  Zomg!

Quite rapidly, too.


I'm still a little peeved that I was like "HEY GUYS SAINTDRAZE IS L-1 AND DEADLINE IS A FEW HOURS, then I let it sit overnight and SaintDraze still had posted a single word in his own defense. :v

Fascinating. Seems the King of the Mafia is well-named.

I was gonna ask him to claim his role, but didn't want to dilute the "your definitely scum" message I'd been sending throughout day 2.  No questions, no qualifications, no mercy.

I guess it's kindof like what Vector talked about earlier... scum panics more if you don't give them any room for counterargument.

Shit. That was my first time as scum. Other than everything, what should I try to do better next time?
