Stay active. Do all that you can to keep the conversation moving, preferably in a direction you want to take it. If you're not sure what to do, look through everybody's posts, ask questions about them, or ask for opinions about other players. If you're not active, you won't find scum. What's worse, you'll look like scum.
Quoted for truth. I forgot this one, so let me say it too- STAY ACTIVE! You don't have to monitor this thread 24/7, but the general baseline for effort is one solid content-filled post every day- weekends you can slip a bit, but not weekdays. More, of course, is always welcome. Near day end and game end, try to put in more than that baseline.
Moving on...
anzki4:
anzki4: If you were scum, what qualities would you like in your scum partner?
If I were scum, I would prefer my partner to be someone deceptive, who knows how to lie.
But you tell me, Toaster if I were scum, would you be a good partner to me?
Fair enough.
Unvote anzki4.
I consider my scum game superior to my town game, so I sure hope so. I can scum hunt just fine on both sides of the fence, but I tend to fail at actually hitting the scum.
Taricus:
Okami No Rei - True, however at this stage we have no idea on how everyone plays. Better to get an insight now than getting one too late.
I'm not sure you understood me. Let me reiterate. YOU are being lazy and scummy by bandwagoning Supercharazad without even offering a question.
"Hiding something?" is not a question. He's not hiding something unless he's scum or he's cop/doctor. Either way, he's certainly not going to tell you.
Just as you are seeking insight into everyone, so do we need insight in you. Why would you be exempt from this? Participate. Ask questions. Answer them. You haven't even responded to Toaster's query yet:
Taricus: What do you think is the best way to hunt scum?
What he said. Remember that you don't have to vote someone to ask them a question. My personal preference is bold to get someone's attention, but use whatever you like (besides colors. Red is voting and
blue is unofficially the color of the Finger of Suspicion- when you want to indicate that you strongly suspect someone but for some reason aren't voting them.)
Toaster - The way I think is best is to listen, read and wait. Pounce once they have given themselves away and utterly destroy them. Do not let them escape with anyones support.
I have basically the same objection as Jim to this answer. I have never been a fan of sitting around waiting for scum to screw up. Now I will hold back a bit if I know something (usually role-based) and am trying to lead the target into screwing up, but even so I will still follow up on other leads.
Jim G: Would you enjoy the chance to be scum in this game to be able to personally tutor someone in the way of scum as well as teaching everyone how to be town?
