Ok, THIS game I'm going to try out my new strategy of playing good regardless of whether or not I roll scum.

So toss your Tobbs meta out the window.

Please. (unless that meta read leads you to believe I am town)

If real life was a mafia game, everyone would be scum and every role you hear from someone is a fake claim anyways.

You are a Telemarketer. You are scum-aligned.

Your fake claim is town-aligned Nonlocal Sales Associate.

Well this has been a super interesting evening, but it's time for me to turn in for the night.

I have seen scum games from quite a few posters and can't wait to start making meta calls that everyone will ignore, but y'all fuckers (and I suppose myself included) aren't posting very much.

Here's to an eventful and productive tomorrow! Cheers!

I played with FL for all of two seconds in Ecco's Kingmaker, and his scum meta was to be incredibly nitpicky about what he thought scum would or wouldn't do and jump on posts that illustrated that.

That aside, blatant breadcrumb or not, why pull it out and examine it like that? That's anti-town. It's something only a scum player would do.

Why would someone claim bulletproof, and when called out about it accuse the person drawing attention to the claim of rolefishing?

Town players can lie too.

Like, say I was a town power role. I could breadcrumb bulletproof in the hopes that scum would overlook me when choosing a NK target.

That's one example.

But when you've got serious rolefishers like TM/FL deliberately hunting for breadcrumbs and grilling players on them, that kind of play is hard to pull off.

So yeah, I do think FL is coming at this game from a scum POV, and not voting isn't a "town" move. Whenever I roll scum, I'm always hesitant to vote. Why? Because I know who the scum are, and and not being able to scumhunt genuinely always feels weird.

Flying Leatherman posted:

You keep on saying this, so I'll elaborate on my last reply - it felt like a claim, not a breadcrumb. I didn't exactly have to hunt. Reading the thread to catch up and seeing this really obvious blatant thing thrown out in the thread is not breadcrumb hunting, it's reading the thread.

I refuse to believe that everyone else missed it, and don't see a reason to keep my mouth shut about something this blatant. I'm sure there are other breadcrumbs out there; I'm equally sure that they're not literally putting your role name in your first post in the game.

I feel like when people claim a role, they do so explicitly.

"I, forums user Tobbs Gnawed, am vanilla town."

Anything else can basically be taken with a grain of salt, denied, etc.

"If I'm your favorite flavor of ice cream, you probably prefer missionary."

Tired Moritz posted:

if you knew Keane was a shitposter, why did you waste time rambling on whether it's a breadcrumb or not?

I don't give a poo poo about Keane's post and I read over it because I can do literally nothing about anyone's stupidass breadcrumbs.

My focus (and my vote) are on FL and how he is a scumbo because his mentality of "Scum would do this, scum would do that" is what I've seen him do in the (admittedly, one) game where I've seen him play scum. Max nailed him for it, actually, and FL ended up winning that game, so the events are sort of ingrained in my memory.

But rather than make into just a "meta" thing, if you look at FL's actions themselves, it's super super scummy. Either Keane is bulletproof or not, but the only person looking for/calling out something like that is someone who has, in the back of their head, "Who am I going to shoot this game?"

We think relying exclusively on meta reads is dumb. Do not continue to disappoint us with your stupid reads that would make even the grass turn red with anger. If you keep this up you will surely be listed as scum when we make a list. Try harder next time

I will always always always make meta reads but I have actually been backing it up with reasoning for why the actions themselves are scummy, which people are welcome to disagree with.

Your isolation of the meta read is disingenuous and misleading scumshuno.
