Its not even that I don't believe you, you haven't done anything to set my radar off yet but given that its unlikely we're going to get any evidence to form a rational conclusion on day one, and seeing as you are a pretty easy target, I'm just surprised you haven't accepted it yet.


Also not voting for anidav isn't really as suspicious as you might think, realistically if he is town, there's no good reason for scum to bother to try and split the vote on day 1 if its obvious that we're going to vote anidav.
real posting not noise.

this italicised bit throws up some alarm.
"resign yourself", this is a statement not by a townie. this is a between gritted teeth threat. "just let the knife into your chest. it is inevitable."
amongst all the noise, mine included, we have MC Eating Disorder telling Anidav that he's going to die. not because it's a good strategy, not because he will be vindicated or for the good of the town, but because he is helpless.

Watching Anidav from a GMs perspective in my game, this is not how he behaved when he was going down and guilty.

You are all poking him to get a reaction, a meltdown for funnies. And it's hard to sift the people doing it for lols and those who are helping the town send an innocent to his death for sinister purposes.

MC Eating Disorder has bared his teeth here.

so far the only two people I have any reason to believe are scum at all are GSC (voted for beet, the strongest town player) and ironic sex tourist (voted for someone for what seemed like absolutely no reason) and even then I'm not nearly sure enough about either of those two to make any kind of an accusation
, and I've got a job interview to go to, since I don't know how long I'm going to be gone for I'm just going to ##vote anidav (sorry dude, its for the good of the town!)

If there's no hammer by the time I get back and ongoing developments I'll consider switching but I'm pretty happy with my decision for now

This is a tactic discussed a lot in scum docs, one of these people will be scum, setting up a bus or misdirected suspicion, to evidence 'I'm a good guy'. But always prefaced with "I don't know for sure" hue hue don't blame me...

Town don't need to cover their tracks with "I'm just an townie in the dark like you." it's a pretty plain and guilty scum tell.

lol ok is this because I accused you of loving with the vote finder to muddy the waters? Thats a lot of effort to go to for a fairly innocuous attempt to point out what I thought was pretty obvious
No, its because you've outed yourself, not as a dumb townie whos going along for larks, but a savage whos satisfied with the direction of the bandwagon.

Being a retard with votefinder is just noiseposting. i was happy to noisepost my way to death because i legit cannot follow this long-rear end game to its conclusion and will just blither poo poo until i board a plane on saturday to a land of white sand beaches and no internets.

that is until i got snagged on a proud nail. Your post. Screaming out "I am playing as scum".

MC Eating Disorder posted:

I definitely feel comfortable accusing kommando of being scum after he

a) spammed up the thread AND the votefinder

AND

b) zeroed in on me for what I think is a weak reason, but that's not really surprising and there's STILL not really enough evidence in my mind to vote based on anything other than gut instincts because its day 1 and anidav is just a good scapegoat for a huge game that really needs to get a quick lynch off to get some bearings

Of course you would think its a weak reason, you're prosecuting it. But town are unaffiliated and know they have no information, but scum need to reassure, not so much for others but themselves. Its conceptually difficult to pretend to know nothing when you actually do.

The game does not need a quick lynch, the rules state that the person at the end of the day with the most votes will be killed, this could happen with 1 vote all day and at 9pm that person dies. The game will not resume until 9am the next day and so hammering early robs us of discussion and sluthing. And any incidental funnies along the way. However early hammering of scapegoats works in scum favor.
Believe it or not but when you go back over first day posts (Or read as a GM), people let on a lot more than they believe, earlier someone mentioned a nursebot with breasts, then someone mentioned their 'breasts' having a hunch. Watch closely and people will outright tell you what they are or what their flavor is on day 1. I've already done it. It wouldnt take much research to find what character i'm playing.

And you've told me yours.
