I am exactly as much of a scum as you are, CCKeane. So the real question is this: Are you scum?

How would you know the relative scumness of someone else unless you had some insider information?


How's THAT for deductive reasoning?

Imagine I said something deep here...
My scumtell is to bus the poo poo out of my teammates and still win. Examples: Battleship Mafia, Toon Noir

##vote Meinberg

After research, Meinberg's played in 3 games where there were millers or miller claims:

In addition, his "I get voted out early as scum" is a bold-faced lie.He's usually alive late in games, even when he's scum. While I was flipping through his games looking for miller claims, I noticed games like 40K above or his SK loss where he stayed in the game until late.

His tone's off, and he's presenting bad information. I don't think he was honest in saying what he thought his scumtells were. I don't think the miller vote was just a joke, and I think he backed off of it because I called him on it. Dude's scum.

Devil's advocate counterargument, from the last game I was in with him:

Meinberg posted:

Come on guys, you know this. I'm terrible at playing scum. I mean, I'm bad at Mafia in general, but even worse at being scum! There's no way I would have survived to MYLO if I was scum.
He was town in True Detective.

It's entirely possible Mein is just saying he's bad at scum because that's what he actually does honestly believe.

Just realized I never explicitly said why his history was important. he treated this miller claim differently than in the past, where he was town. I think he was setting up the usual D1 miller lynch, looking for an easy and defensible mislynch.

I like Byers case a lot. It makes sense, uses past information, and fits in well with how Meinberg would act as scum. (I assume, I don't think I've ever played with Meinberg but I drink a lot so who knows.)

What are everybody else's thoughts?

Right now, I would vote Meinberg.

If Meinberg flips scum, you're basically saying I had the balls or the lack of brains to admit that I bus, link games where I heavily bussed, and in the same post bus the poo poo out of a scumbro?

Byers look at me. Look me in the eyes. We've been through some stuff man. We lived through the downfall of Africa together. We got screwed by some terrible awful people and died a sad pathetic death.

You can't lie to me, we've gone through too much.

Yes, clearly that vote I made before the start of the game on a fellow I've been known to crack wise with and about is a sincere reflection of my own personal beliefs. You've caught me, my attempt to make humor was actually a thinly veiled disguise for an attempt to launch a turbo on capps due to my nature as an insidious scum.

Good game all, Byers got me.

Yeah, I'm with Mein on this. I don't like him taking a pretty obvious jokevote so seriously as the cornerstone of a claim. I also don't like how unnaturally Byers forced the game out of jokephase, either.

I disagree it's an obvious jokevote; capps made a serious miller claim, and Meinberg responded with the usual miller vote response. What's the joke? He only fell back on it as a joke after I pushed him. I don't care if it was before D1 started, it was after PMs were received, and the game was in play. He tried to play it cool and keep heat off of him, same with his response to Keane. It's scummy behavior.

Wait, you think that capps' claim was serious? I mean, it could be. But I take everything that capps says with at least three or four layers of ironic detachment.

The same applies to Keane.
