Alright, let's leash Corrik. There's a lot of scum in this game that needs to be taken out.

Scare, in the interest of time I'd rather you just play in real time and answer/ask questions and such. Such as, what is your role?

Oh are you actually scum?

Yes

No problem Sultan. You want to explain why you think Chris is scum over some of the other candidates or is this just posturing to show that youre not scared to call him out despite his rep.

5tarscream posted...

Though Sultan has since said he simply missed my post about Ben so maybe I can ask a different question.
Do you believe both Ben and SBell defended hb because they both legit think hes town and others are wrong or do you think one of them is likely scum and trying to look good early. Im sure you can predict the follow up question.

Okay first question. I genuinely think chris is kind of off thia game his reasoning for vote jumping is "Putting pressure" putting pressure on a person with 1 vote how treatening is that when their is what 11 needed to lynch someone? I mean yeah i also do want to let it be known im not afraid to press the big dogs like chris exsphally since he is supposed to be the best player to mafia and hasnt shown me he is town yet yeah he is definitely worth going back and looking on i advise people to stop just being like chris is so good lets not look at him kind of mentality

Also i can see where some of the protecting of hb has come in by people ive been back and forth on it myself, alot of people jumping on him for saying vanilla over villager is kind of silly exsphally when in the context that Hb was using was he wanted it to be obvious to everyone exsphally if someone didnt take the time to read 4 post of game introductions.

However some of the flavor meta is also silly since it was stated that not to take character flavor into consideration when deciding if someone is town or scum. Harry potter being a villager i mean yeah it could aound silly like why would a wizard be village well think about it in another context he is a preteen when the books start and ia faulted by basically needing to die to beat his villian

FLAVOR METTA ISNT GOOD as a true read on someone

This dude is soooooooo town.

I agree.

Dont need to. you told me you are scum which I know you have done in the past as scum
You also asked me for my claim in a way that was scummy
Town you asks as soon as I replace, you took your time

Of course are. Did you see that weak-ass bussing? I hardly felt threatened at all. I didn't even finish my first cup of tea before he switched over to Ben!

I think Scare might be a Serial Killer

I am the Serial Killer. You can stop searching for it now and search for scum.

LMAO

I legit laughed.

Because I too am the serial killer! Do we have two of them? I'm unlynchable so you must be the BP version.

The get along shirt was Mason sks all along

Chris is the one who started the train. So, you were clearly talking to him when you said it worked well and you should do it again.

Look lbr no replacement has ever claimed, this is strictly a traditional farce alright

I still kinda wanna lynch Puns so we don't have a humiliating defeat in two weeks
---

Eaed replacing out instead of plodding is nicer than I would expect from scum Eaed.
..Though that doesnt exclude the chance of scum telling him to replace out.
But I am okay with Scare for now.

And surprised Corrik didnt immediately ask him to claim

I wasn't here when he replaced in.

I am surprised the people who said "let them replace and we will hammer their replacements" did nothing though.
---

I specifically said I wouldn't be harsh on Scare or MI

You can tell I was serious because I had a >_> emoticon
---

Also I do admit I switched from Lea because I actually got the real sense that she didn't feel threatened.
---

Actually to be fair, to meta where I shouldn't be allowed to, but whatever. The fact Eaed posted he was going to replace into the game which was directly told to people not to do in the rules made me think Eaed was quite honest about just simply having been inactive because he never even apparently read the rules in the first posts of the game, let alone any of the game. Strikes me as he was simply just actually inactive and not really just scum who fell too far behind and felt he was being a detriment to his team.
---

I won't talk about that again though. I just feel eaed was very genuine. For... *reasons*

Can everyone please, in order, give me a list of their top five scum suspects? I think this would prove interesting given the current game state.

4. Red13n
6. SBell (Obellisk)
8. MZero
19. Luis_Sera
20. Lolo_Guru

Still reading up, but dowolf isnt looking too hot right now based on topic1, so add him to my list from before.
Thinking about it also, Scare could still be scum. The way Corrik said makes me think of his departure as a nultell more.
But Scare has plenty of time to show off his towniness if he has it.

Chris
Dowolf
Tom(Hunch) not really a good reason but hasnt done anything to change said hunch
Corrik
Dont really have a number 5

I could see maybe one of the following though

Lolo
Luis
Hb
Lea
Cam

I feel chris's request for lists is more scum motivated than town motivated

I know Luis talking about game theory is his thing according to Chris, but it still didn't feel very much like scum hunting to me

This is baseless. If you are going to post please provide content that is accurate or insightful.

5 scum on day 1, with such a large active game, is probably not going to be very helpful in my estimate

Objectively it is a low effort on your part which returns a large sum of player links to toy with

As scum it helps you manipulate the players much more easily whereas as town it is highly unlikely to bear fruit

I really don't like lists in general I think they defocus the town.

I will say red13n is currently my #1 if you're wondering so it's not a pressure vote and I do think he's a better lynch than hbthebattle currently (who I still think is most likely scum, however). I could give you 3 more names but I don't think it serves much point as there's a steep drop after those 2. Scare could easily slot in that top set if he doesn't actually give some coherent content, but I think smashing into the scene as a court jester is kinda towny all things considered given his position.

Lopen
Cam
Sultan
Chris
Puns

That last one i really just grabbed because he's voting me, my suspicions are limited at the moment.
---

With that list SBell kinda strikes me as suspicious as I thought his initial vote on me was particularly weak (hell, Luis said as much) and he has made no attempt to further a lynch attempt on me despite me being top on his list. So I guess he can be #3.

On the other hand, people will post reasoning, people will just post lists, people will refuse to comply. I have asked everyone to politely to supply one post and to gauge the game. You say low effort, I say streamlined approach. Working hard is not the same as working smart. If you are town you really, truly, need to stop vastly underestimating the type of town player I am.
