Did the scum team ever have a nightkill ability? I feel like they sorely needed it.

Scum inherited the NK after the vig masonry was gone.

This should have been done differently.

The concept is really good, scum just needed a way, via mechanics to set up Slam and get him killed quickly.

I don't know if a role exists in typical mafia, but a way for scum to force out false positives on something would have been good.

wish Lowtax would get tired of YOUR POSTS

if you pulled whatever trick YPM did to me, it would had worked, I think.

I think even if you had to bus whoever the scum vig partner was, 1 scum death was definitely worth the ability to nightkill.

yeah, maybe just explaining the mechanic to the scum team before it happened may have solved this problem. Oh well!

Thanks for the game.

Yeah scum needed some better path to their NK.

It didn't help that in lieu of getting their kill, Flam would have been critical in directing our masonry towards scum-beneficial kills and he was absent in the game and the mason doc.

It would have been a fun scum challenge to try and throw enough disinformation, bad casing, and bunko theories to get your mason buddy to agree to good kills without incriminating yourself.

Too hard to c/p on my phone but we were just griping about how you were targeting both halves of the doctor for opposite reasons haha

Turns out we had the only uncompromised power role? Yay tpink I knew you were town :3:

The worst failure of this setup was that tpink should have been Lime :v:

Kinda? Their kill only worked if they targeted "all surviving members of a masonry", which is where this came from:

It may not be in your best interest to claim your flavor or role!

The idea was that they would need to use flavorcop to match players to masonries.

So to clarify.

The SK power was, target a player, you flavourcop them. If you target a player that is alone, you kill them instead. If both you and your partner target an entire masonry, they all die.

So the flavourcop part was us trying to put together complimentary flavours so we could get doublekills when we needed to.

What helped us the most is that every person who died pretty much had their partner out themselves. Easy pickings

Also having Krell as a mason partner was as exciting as you'd imagine
