Current Top Scum Picks:

Hunt - They have 8 posts in the game as of the making of this case.
Their only "case" is a list of 3 people that they say are "3 candidates" and then vote for 1 of them. Then their last post is a woe is me post where they complain that I have been making "everything" they do seem scummy.

Ruggan - Posted precisely 1 scum read day 1. On me. Didn't Vote. At all. And there are a pair of posts made, one which is "This role doesn't make sense because I don't know how the PR would work." and the other is "Leith is town, that claim doesn't make sense for scum." Then at the start of the day does a me too vote on Mona, note that their response to the original Mona case is that they don't think that it is weird and they aren't scum.

Eh, I've been extremely busy at work and at home. My posting game isn't up to snuff right now. And as of this post I'm quoting (currently catching up) I plan to switch my vote away from Mona, just not quite sure to whom yet.

Well getting pushed to -4 off a cop claim in a role madness game has certainly killed any interest I had in this game so I might as well loving go balls-out and gently caress everyone else up.

Hi, yes, I'm scum. Ixtillon or whomstever the gently caress is an alignment cop. But let me make something perfectly clear:

There are two scumteams. Merk is probably on the second one: No reason for binus to be killed otherwise, he'll want to wiggle out of it. Don't let him. There's literally no reason for binus to have been a N1 scumkill.

My scumteam didn't kill last night. Figure out why there's two deaths on D1 on your own.

##vote Monathin

Get me the gently caress out of here.

by the way, i think ixt claiming was a complete waste. mona was very much under suspicion anyway, and ixt was hardly at a loss for ways to prod mona without claiming. mona was practically coming apart at the seams already before ixt claimed. idk how to feel, because of course i love when crazy poo poo like this happens, but seriously? it's frustrating. he didnt have to claim!! now he'll be in danger literally all game, until he dies. maybe if he'd gotten a result on, like, aa or something that'd be another story. but mona was probably gonna be lunched today without a claim, and with WAY more info around the votes than there will be now. ugh.

the only way i can think to make ixt's mess of a claim worthwhile, is to capitalize on the fact that it pressured him into scumclaiming, and keep mona around as confirmed scum

Giving ixt the item seems like a bad call. Already a good target for NK, having an item makes them a better target.

I also agree with Steak here. Feels like a wasted claim.

it's a role madness game, i feel like the dynamics of claiming are much different than usual

town losing a single PR is likely much less debilitating, ixt might have mechanisms to defend themself with, town protective PRs are probably better equipped to save people

that doesnt reduce the loss of any meaningful votes. as soon as thread gets cop results, no meaningful analysis can come from vote patterns. so it really sucks that we've been denied that here

not to mention the plethora of effortposts mona was sure to continue making, had ixt not put the nail in his coffin. that cop result wasn't going anywhere, so ixt should have held onto it wayyyyy longer, to let mona implicate his team more

I agree with Steak here. I think it's more important now to get info than kill Mona. Mona is already in the bag later, only thing we do is reduce a little risk of some crazy night action at the expense of a lot of information.

In the spirit of Lumpens stupid content game, I ask the following question (anyone can answer, it's not targeted at anyone in particular)

If you had a day vig right now:
1. who would you shoot?
2. who would you give a day vig to?
3. name someone NOT on that list who would you never confide a sensitive personal secret to.

1. Leith
2. Monathin
3. Mr. Humalong

Returning to scumhunting, this post turned out to be rear end backwards. ##vote Sal

I would also be open to a merk vote to go down the trail Mona left for us. Mona's post came across as frustrated and genuine and I'd be willing to follow that lead.

gently caress this argument and anyone who uses it in a mafia game, particularly when the day is what, 9 hours old? I work a job that doesn�t allow me to engage a thread during it, I skim along as best I can and sometimes get some posts off during lunch/bathroom time.

That said my vote is clearly on Mona, but I�m not going to actually vote when he�s that close this early in the day.

I�ll have more free time in a few more hours to respond to the thread in more depth, but I hate that kind of callout, much like Keane does.

(Note I�m not actually mad at you in particular xiw, I know this was more a callout/fishing post, but I can�t stand scumhunting via being someone not being able to post at a specific time of day)

Also ##vote cintamini Ixt seems pretty much the only choice right now.

Super sorry if it sounded like i was calling you out for not posting yet - what I was trying to say is that we don't want to end the day yet despite Monathin's attempts to provoke a turbo because these people haven't posted and we want to give them a chance to.

couple things:

how did mona know there are 2 scum teams, rather than a town killing role (pgo?) or something...?

why did mona's scumteam withhold their kill (if they actually did)...?

I got what you meant part way (you may have noticed the shift in tone but I decided to keep the post internally coherent rather than go back), but the way your post was presented made it a short hop to �Mona was trying to end the day because X is scum that wasn�t posting�, so I stuck with it because that sort of argument has caused a lot of trouble for me in past games regardless of my alignment in them.

I agree wholeheartedly with your actual message of don�t turbo on d2 we have stuff to talk about still.

Also work is slowing down so I while I won�t really be able to dig backwards for a bit I will be in and out keeping up with what�s going on.

In this game I think we really want at least one scum flip to see what they look like - remember we know town have weird stuff like leith's pantheon cop and right now we don't even know what the scumteam's name is.

In a more standard game steaks idea might have merit.

In this game it reads more like trying to buy a fellow scum with a cool power an extra day of life to use that power.
