Because...?

because they're arguing from a position of weakness against everyone not on their side

they're actively convincing everyone of their position, instead of arguing everyone else down from suspicion

the reason scum don't overdo the first is because when they flip it's easy to see who isn't on their team based on how they tried to overcome that person's logic. the second one is ambiguous because it could be bussing! that's my reasoning.

I think you're coming off as worse, honestly. Tell me why Ecco is scum, maybe I agree. Just say she's scum over and over, and it looks like you're trying to purposefully dig a tunnel using a garden hoe.

Just to make sure I understand, you're saying it was so bad and the defense has been so devoid of logic that they have to be scum?

i'm saying mixing it up is what scum tend to do because their role mechanics necessitate it! the shotgun method of convincing any and everyone is something scum instinctually avoid.

you're still missing the details of the argument byers

when you're scum, why don't you instinctively answer any suspicion against you with the words 'yes, i understand your viewpoint, but you absolutely positively must unvote me'

I did already! Ecco is scum because she deliberately caused confusion among the town in an effort to either get attention off herself before she abandoned the thread for a day OR in an effort get someone else lynched. There's no conceivable pro-town reason for her to lie about Rurea scum-claiming and then ninja editing ("He then scumclaimed but quickly retracted it."). It's so easy to hide behind jokes that a strong player like Ecco can do scummy things during jokephase and people will ignore it but I think that whole "page 9" thing pings me as scummy.

I would also vote Opop, who jumped on KB immediately after Ecco called him scummy for fence-sitting (which is stupid) but then also proclaimed to have not read the thread.

Also, I actually found this kinda suspicious early on, even though it was joke phase.

I'm glad you did that because it was scummy as heck but me doing it would be "oh gosh ecco such OMGUS let me vote you instead!" which is very dumb but alas.

Far too concerned about pre-explaining actions. And that previous, "If I were scum..." I feel strongly about this case.

Yes, it is, and usually I'm right there with you regarding meta. But in this case, yuming's aggressively attacking someone she spent all of the game that just ended defending, excusing Rurea's shot altogether, and calling Shark 3P and not voting. That doesn't line up.

Yeah, a vote to make him explain is overly aggressive. A vote is an attack. Especially given everything else in the game, that stands out.

The question is would he have killed anyone who answered the question or was that coincidence? And if he would just kill the first player to answer how does that make sense as a scum power or play
