Assuming Ecco is telling the truth about his/her flip:

- LUTR looks very good. A scum player wouldn't be that combative with their ally on D1 (1), (2);
- Also liking Gridlocked a wee bit more, as there would be no reason to shoot down a defense of your partner (3);
- Liking merk quite a bit less due to Ecco's dismissal of the case against him as "a dumb thing" (4);
- Kill all players trying to perpetuate the joke phase.

This post assumes that in a game where town have to rely 100% on day play to catch the Mafia, the Mafia themselves would play the game absolutely straight, only throw shade on townies and only defend their scumbuddies.

I'm of the unpopular opinion that scum, regardless of set-up, want to avoid drawing attention to themselves and their brethren at all costs because it makes the game much more difficult to win. I don't see any reason to believe that Ecco was trying any gambit here.

With this view of the game you should be voting lurkers. Every time scum posts they are drawing attention to themselves.

What "gambit" would you even need to call your scumbuddy scummy? Or for that matter to call a case against a townie bad? These are pretty easy things to do if you are scum, arguably easier than casing townies and defending your buddies.

look man, i couldnt do another twelve hours of joke posting and thought the town needed an injection of the bleeding obvious to move it forward which seems to be working, so yay

I just don't see any reason why Ecco would have suddenly turned on her teammates less than twenty-four hours into a game. I can understand calling out a case against a townie to gain some cred, but I really, truly doubt that he and LUTR would have gone at it with one another if they were both scum.

Your mistake is in assuming two things:

A: Scum play rationally at all times.

B: People who play Mafia games aren't fundamentally broken people who have no concept of "rational".

You may be very well right... because you already know that Ecco did not turn on his teammates less than twenty-four hours into the game.

I wish I could vote you a second time for this post. Why would scum put shade on their scumbuddies??? So that people would make posts like the one you made. I shouldn't have to explain that to you.

Just reset votes if you voted since eccos murder you have to revote sorry, or in TNLs case you're in luck you get to vote again. Also ignore that vote finder says Ecco is alive, he's dead but votefinder doesn't really like mobile usage.

The question is: Why didn't you vote or even comment on a flipped scum who voted you in the exact same way that I did, especially when you even called him out in your vote on me?
