I plan on deducing who is scum and then helping lynch them.
How are you going to do that?
Andrew, whom from the present (apart from the ICs) would you fear most as scumteam, if you were town, and why?[/qu :'(in, he hoodwinked me pretty bad last game.

I haven't seen you before, what is your plan on winning the game?

Andrew45 why so interested in my current strategy?, rather than a hypothetical one? That seems a little scummy to me.
Phantom why so unwilling to go into detail? First you give a stupidly general strategy and then accuse someone of being scummy when they call you on it and ask for more info.
First of all I was vague on my strategy simply because at the moment I had no terribly specific strategy yet. This is my first time playing mafia and I generally take a little bit of time in games of this sort to formulate a strategy, rather than create one too early and have to heavily revise it or make stupid mistakes because of.
Second, he never called me out for being vague. I felt that his asking a question relating to the game at hand was a little bit too similar to role-fishing for comfort. You seem to be a little too eager to attack someone immediately on a false premises, namely the "fact" that Andrew called me out and that my accusing him was response to such. He has not even posted since I responded, and my FOS was placed in the same post as my response to his question, therefore he cannot have "called me out" if I had accused Jim of being scummy on the other hand it would be a different story.
Thirdly, on my strategy: I am going to be on the watch for any obvious scum-tells, such as the one that stormtemplar is exhibiting right now by accusing me on false premises, and try to pressure who I see as suspicious. Really beyond that I haven't formed much of a strategy, because I haven't played the game enough to form a good one.

How is it scummy? If you're going to say someone is scummy then you need to explain your reasons for thinking this way.
You always need reasons. Don't neglect them.
The fact that he was requesting information about my actual strategy, rather than giving me a hypothetical situation seemed a bit too much like role-fishing and thus a little suspicious, obviously not enough to warrant an actual vote but enough to warrant a FOS.
PPE:
Phantom of the Library: Let's say that you've been accused of being found out as scum by the cop; and people begin to pile their votes on you without any tangible proof. How would you generally defend yourself?
I would present the information and logical arguments that proved otherwise and attempt to draw attention to the cop, since he would obviously be scum if he is falsely accusing me, with more attention being paid to keeping myself alive, since if I am lynched the cop will be revealed as scum anyway, unless it is a Lynch-or-Die situation in which case I would put more effort into making sure that everyone realizes the cop is scum, since if I die and he lives it would be game over.
