Toaster: You're stretching to try and get me lynched. It doesn't say traditional scumhunting is bad for a reason: because it isn't, and I wasn't trying to say that.
This is my third flavor-based game here, and I've noticed a common trend: flavor hunting works, and works better than traditional hunting. It's reliable and effective. Also, the only players who are trying to downplay its importance or obscure it end up being the scummy ones. So, I'm not saying traditional scumhunting is bad, I'm saying that encouraging people to give it more weight than flavor hunting is scummy.
We should, are, and will continue to scumhunt in the traditional way. I'm not opposing this, and (as I said already), it's how I've built my case on Imiknorris. I've clarified this twice, yet you continue to push the notion that I'm fighting the traditional methods of hunting. I don't like how determined you are to make me look opposed to finding scum.
As for flavor threats, I'm a bit low at the moment, mostly because the long hiatus and subsequent new thread devoid of the flavor claims made me forget most of what I knew. Ecrown and Jim were my highest suspicions, then when NUKE flipped elf I was positive about Jim. Ottofar I thought was a lyncher, based on his flavor about being a hard luck worker, but it turns out he's not.
On reread, people that stand out purely based on their claimed flavor: Toaster (out of towner, possible survivor), Think (unemployed, possible SK as he's angry and robbing people to get by, maybe), Dariush (light on the flavor at claim, openly states he dislikes the witch hunt and thinks it outdated). Without doing some more digging, I don't have much else to work on.
McArathos: How do you distinguish town power role hiding from scum hiding?
I'm not sure I understand your question. My flavor hunting was based more on flavor elements that seemed scummy (like the fact that Jim was partners with a scum player, hence he should be lynched for that scummy association), not on people being hesitant to fullclaim. I'm not sure how you'd distinguish without rolefishing.
