And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Hell even when a town roleblocker died no one asked "hey, isn't that Milky's role?" to which he then changed roles anyway and people kept just following the leader. There are many many more examples.

Massive respect to Milky and Bif as well. They were an awesome scum team to watch in the doc and I don't think anyone still in the game twigged they were working together until it was too late

And Harold krell can gently caress right off, he literally posted nothing of use in the scumdoc - we never even knew his role until he died

I was pretty relieved when he flipped vanilla, if we'd been making do with hardly any powers and it turned out he'd been holding out all that time, I was gonna lose it.

Milky's playstyle is interesting because no matter who is playing he always knows that there's enough people who are lazy enough to follow a "team leader".

I went on the warpath because it wasn't harmless, was obfuscating, and I tend more than more to tell people to knock things off but I was far from the only one to think that was you being harmless.

Personally I felt better when you turned out to be scum because seriously your roleblock plan of scum vs lynching was so insane I was confused people went along with it that were town.

Oh yeah, I thought we were dead meat when that happened, I was like SERIOUSLY, GASPY? It was bad enough Milky claimed roleblocker when that's considered a scummy role to begin with, but nope, town also got their own roleblocker too! Whee! :buddy:

But then the GSC/TBK throwdown must have successfully distracted everybody.

Agreed. Although next game maybe Day 2, Milky Day 1.

My first game ever I was scum, little did I know how much easier it is. Town is hard as gently caress.

I think the biggest issue was that your arguments weren't consistent or particularly coherent, whereas all of his arguments made logical sense (mostly because they were technically true), so it just looked like you were desperately trying to defend yourself. There was a lot of bad town play this game. Like when I went along with Milky's garbage about keeping Plott alive for an extra night - I wanted a safe nightkill so I just went "yeah sure lets do this" instead of "hang on, why would we do this?" or when we bought TBK's absolute garbage story. GSC should really have come out guns blazing, but every one of the town remaining went "I really think it's ken but..." and killed GSC.

Hey, don't lump me in with you sheeple that voted for GSC. :colbert: I was relieved I didn't get scum for my first game though.

Lid I thought you were town. I can't remember defending you though was that the day Milky was pushing a lynch on someone and saving Plott for later?

On a personal frustration note I got lynched off "hunting power roles" when the only power role I outed was Milky... who was scum. I need to stop aggravating people, but I'm the anti-follow the leader type and rub way too many people the wrong way in the pursuit of the truth.

Seriously there may be no other case in mafia history where this is a successful argument

quote:

Because [Plotterboy] still has to vote if he wants to affect the day phase at all, and that still gives us information. He is quite literally useless alive. Killing him, on the other hand, drops the total number of players and risks us getting closer to a threshold where the scum have more control over the lynch.

Milky managed to successfully argue enough townies that leaving scum alive was preferable to leaving town alive because it would give scum less control of the lynch. So many people played on autopilot this game.

Except Krell who should be blacklisted.

And SK for being useless too by never posting and never countering Milky for example.

First game as scum is actually easier, you have a team of people helping you and all you need to do is not be the most suspicious, which is usually pretty easy when Anidav is melting down, or SK has gone on holiday, or Lid has been caught telling lies about his role, or HK has posted a 10 paragraph rap.

The only person who really strongly defended me on the block was Rudatron, and when Rudatron flipped that's when I decided to shoot myself in the head as there was no way the lynch was flipping then and I, at the time, was convinced Milky and Splode were both scum so stopping a three way debate between me and (who I believed was two scum) seemed like the best move for town than continue a farce.

I think it varies from game to game but all the games I've played in they can do both but sometimes only to the same target. I was banking on people assuming this, however. It formed the core of my multiple alibis. That, and I never actually murdered anyone. Always had subordinates do it and always vanilla scum first.

Helping mafia is what I did.
I did a good job making town dead.
Though Milky Moor would say otherwise instead.

A man named webmeister was completely fooled!

Nope, no Harolds. Not even one.

Tithin you asked why we hadn't lynched Harold after he said he's scum a couple of times. I was ignoring anything Harold was saying because it couldn't be trusted either way. I wouldn't have been surprised if he was town loving with town or scum loving with town and his own team. I figured it was better to chase others for the time being, until things slowed down enough for a Harold lynch detour.

Given that Harold didn't want to tell us anything, I was worried that he had some sort of role that we wouldn't want to lose or he would - somehow - deploy at just the right moment.

Which... he sort of did?
