Something to think about is, scum almost certainly were outright given fakeclaims or at least derp probably was, considering how early he claimed watcher. Flerp claimed vigilante, another claim that could have been present in the town but wasn't.

In that light perhaps the town has no protective roles and DCB's bodyguard claim is also a fakeclaim given to the Monster faction.

Anyway I'm coming around to the idea of no lynching, to see what kind of kill we get and who scum tries to kill.

We are still missing a mechanism for the kills to get stopped on night 1 if DCB is lying. It's possible the Tesco kill was blocked by Mr.F!'s jail but that doesn't account for the monster kill, as the monsters would not try to kill their own jail target. But I'm sorta incredulous that scum would have tried killing DCB hot off arguing for a day 1 no lynch, or yronic heroism who got a lot of heat near the end of the day.

I've never heard of a game where scum had to wait til night 2 to kill someone, but it's also possible they gave up a kill for another action or tried for a delayed kill that didn't work out.

In fact SpiderHyphenMan complained that he didn't get a Hard Hat Spider-Man avatar like 20 other posters did, and was given a new avatar of a hardhatless Spider-Man getting hit in the head with a fallen brick.

BSS is an odd place.

all those words about me not saying anything about the claim sitch is a scum pov. personally, I spoke up when asked directly because, as town, I have an interest in sharing information with the rest of the town when it benefits us, and am willing to do so if we mass claim.

an informed town is objectively better than uninformed, but I don't have a role with results or info that can truly clear me, or anyone else.

Y'know, I hashed this over in my head for a bit, but screw it. This is a bullshit post.

If you genuinely believe that's scummy of me, you go right ahead and put your vote down; when I flip town it'll be useful to the survivors, because they'll be able to look back at the bandwagon and who thought it was important to drive it.

"An informed town is objectively better than uninformed" when you've been soft-pedaling any kind of claim for days now while carefully dropping hints? What a crock.

I wish you were wrong. I'd honestly rather get lynched, to tell you the truth.

I've been accused of scumminess for the high crimes of "questioned the wisdom of the prevailing meta" and "used too many words," for gently caress's sake; at this point, keeping me around is only benefiting scum. No one's going to believe I'm acting in good faith and no one's going to listen to a word I have to say. So come on, folks who think my behavior has been terribly scummy, line up and cast those votes. Better a corpse, at this point, than continuing to polarize discussion.

At this point I'd be up for a DCB lynch. I also think a no lynch has a lot of appeal as the kill will remove someone from the suspect pool without making lylo come sooner.

This is a good point. I feel our last scum is a master of misdirection. I think both DCB and TNL are capable of this in different ways. I will expand on this soon.

Chores is difficult to read. His game plan as scum would just be keeping his head down and throwing out accusations of opportunity, but didn't bite on me given the chance to do so. Did vote on flam at a key time but only a town move if we assume 3/1 monster/tesco. I think 2/2 or sk is more likely.

Imp - scummy-seeming but not a master of misdirection. Would be the choice of my head but not my gut.

In hindsight, not as scummy as I thought. Maybe more of an omgus reaction by me earlier. Did push on me pretty hard but now seems like a misguided town move. Made more of an effort to build cases than imp.

Why don't you advance suspicions instead of whining that people find you scummy on a late game day?

I'm genuinely not trying to whine; I apologize if I come across that way. I'm saying that I honestly and truly believe that my lynch would not be a bad thing for town and might in fact be useful, because if I'm not around the scum can't point and go "but look how scummy DCB is!" to deflect suspicion. As mind-numbingly stupid as I find some of the arguments that have been made against me, they have been made, and believed, and no one's going to stop thinking them just because I point and say they're dumb.

As for why I don't advance suspicions, when I talked about stickup, when I gave my list, and when I explained why stickup's lack of roleclaim seemed shady to me, each has been met with either resounding silence or accusations that those cases, themselves, were scummy. As I know I'm not scum, and I have no desire to distract town from finding the actual scum, I have been somewhat leery of drawing attention with my well-meaning-but-apparently-terrible posts.

I'm honestly not upset or anything; I genuinely do think that if I'm no longer around, scum has less cover, and that can only be a good thing for town. As I want town to win, welp...

DCB has a plausible town argument for his posts but like TNL has played in a way that has would be smart for scum in terms of voting. Doesn't get too much credit for the derp vote because the writing was on the wall for mags already and derp was gonna be next. If Tesco aligned, doesn't get credit for flam vote. Gonna read his posts again.

Because it's a loving bad idea for us if you are actually town, one reason why I am mystified you would argue for it.

Are you scum??? If you aren't then why would you argue for us to flip the only person you know for a fact isn't scum?

Because I don't want town to tunnel in on me when there's actual scum out there to catch? The other prevailing option right now is a no-lynch, which gets us in the same spot tomorrow only with one fewer townie.

I just finished another re-read, and I think it's stickup, DCB, or yronic as scum. TNL I do think Kash cleared you - not just because he had an abrupt change of heart, but because he was suspicious of you Day1 so youre a common sense target for him to investigate N1.

Chores I guess I'm ambivalent amount.

DCB, on a new readthrough, is just very scummy. Thousands of mechanical words while pointing very few fingers.

Also this post just now:

Who loving cares if town tunnel on you, it's only a problem if you actually get voted and flipped. That's the only bad consequence of people thinking you are suspicious.

Arguing for your own lynch is scummy because for town it's a universally bad outcome (never ever will flipping a player guaranteed to be town be better than flipping someone of unknown alignment) and the only reason to argue it is to elicit an emotional response of pity. Stop doing it.

Just vote No Lynch, doofus. Chance to take a breather, get some night info, and see what shakes out. We have 1 fewer townie if scum is successful, but it doesn't move us closer to LyLo.

That is 100% better than trying to lynch yourself as town.
