Wait, if your a scum IC, can you tell people false information? Can there even be a scum IC? Just wondering. Could be useful information fo' scumhunting.
We would much, much rather you learn how to be good players and play many more games here than win one beginner game as scum. Anything we say in terms of advice is genuine and true. Check
BMXXI: I was a playing IC and scum that game, and everything I said is still applicable. (Especially the bits about how inactivity leads to an easy scum win.)
Also, is this all you have after a day of lurking? You need to participate.
Caz:
Btw, if Andrew425 was my scumpartner, why would I be trying to lynch him? Do you really think if I was scum there wouldn't be someone on teamchat shouting at me to play properly? That's to everyone, I guess.
Two lessons here!
First is bussing. Scum voting for each other is a perfectly valid tactic. When I was (non-playing) scum ICs, one of the points I always stressed was if your partner did something scummy, you should call him out on it (publicly) and vote him over it if it was warranted. This goes back to how best play scum- at day, act like you are town, and hunt out "scum", AKA people who are doing scummy things. If it's your partner, so be it.
Actively lynching your partner is known as bussing, as in throwing him under the bus. If your partner is clearly scum, trying too hard to save him can incriminate you the following day. At some point [the trick is to know when] it is completely fair to join the case against him. Doing so at the right time makes you look more like town. Doing so at the perfect opportunity can make you look extremely town. I have in the past broken a tie vote in favor of my scumbuddy in order to preserve my own "town cred."
Lesson two:
WIFOM. Essentially, if something comes down to circular reasoning, it's not a valid argument. The most common case is "If I was scum, why would I do X?" The answer to that question is usually "So when I do end up doing X, I look town!" It's scummy, and you should not do it.
To answer your questions...
Btw, if Andrew425 was my scumpartner, why would I be trying to lynch him?
Because you wanted to bus him to look town.
Do you really think if I was scum there wouldn't be someone on teamchat shouting at me to play properly?
There might be. I have no idea what LNCP is doing. I assume it's good advice, but that doesn't tell me anything about your (or anyone's) alignment.
