Meh
I think they did away with them?
In post 23, Sesq wrote:Don't you realize that overengagement can ALSO be a scum tactic, an attempt to avoid suspicion through vacuous, constant posting?
I know you're new, so you need to hear this: there are no easy scum tells. There is no such thing as "scum behavior". There are unique contexts in which scummy behavior will arise that are yet to fully reveal themselves. Don't chase your tail like a dog here.
You're going to be a joy I can already tell
In post 26, Sesq wrote:I fully meant to be as condescending as possible, because as the oldest player here by far I think it's in all our best interest if I set the facts straight. My vote is also (mostly) RVS, but we have to start making things serious *sometime*, and I figure it might as well be now. I'm helping you. Chill a little.
Also, the main reason I didn't answer the questions is because I thought they were stupid. I like answering questions but not stupid ones.
Overruled now. No need to be condescending in a newbie game. It's literally here for people to learn the ropes.

Early SE paranoia is usually a towntell. I've liked most of CW's posting so far it reads as eager newbtown.
In post 29, JDye wrote:The appeal to authority really doesn't sit well with me and there weren't any facts to "set straight" in the first place, so I think it was a bit unnecessary.
I think scum easily could fake a vote here and I like that he didnt vote and is instead trying to sift through the egotism to get a read.
Why are you voting if you dont think its a town/scum interaction lol

Holy town batman
Scum wouldnt come out of the gate with a PL vote in a game like this let alone with two competing wagons

Also, just going to say, the only person that has 8een trying to drive the game really hard has 8een #3 cw357. For as little info as we have, you post way more than necessary.
You understand in order to get info we all have to post, right?

I like this but its a very textbook answer too
In post 94, cw357 wrote:even if we found scum quickhammering isn't a good idea because it takes away discussion time
and given as nobody here is conf-scum by any means how about we not quickhammer eh?
DkKoba is powerwolfing at the moment imo.
This rigid structure following proper townie behaviour is so invigorating
town
In post 98, DkKoba wrote:like fr im just hella overgamed rn and i wanna speedgame it alongside gonna be modding a game soon. so im just going explosive plays.
aggressiveness =/= scummy.
why are u using terms like powerwolfing btw lol wtf is that supposed to mean. imma be hella real with u ur just making up that im scum and working backwards to frame me as such
Why is you overgaming yourself our problem? I think you've had some weird vote timings this game.
You think blatant chainsawing like that comes from a newbscum duo? Newbscum typically struggle with reads on their buddy going too far in the red direction. I usually make a disclaimer in my newbie scum games to them about it so they know to adjust a bit for it. I think defense like that would more likely come from town or scum on town lol.

In post 111, JDye wrote:You're making a mountain out of a non-existent molehill and then going on to make all sort of crazy deductive leaps. You're playing up what's happened to make it seem like I've been so deep in his pocket I'm touching tip, when all I've done is say that I like him trying to step in between me and Sesq. Truth be told, you're not some scumhunting god, and acting like you are this early in the game is only harmful.
Atleast DkKoba is honest about why he wants the quick lynch, he thinks its a meme and he's got a gut feeling. I can respect that. Although, he says that it's because I was trying to be unobtrusive but when I point out why I don't think I have been (64), he just ignores it?
I like this guy too
I like this

This read up is a drag
Actually a good stance. But I feel like the wagon was definitely slowing at this point.

I agree with this and its weird hes a leading wagon he screams awkward newbtown
... This is an awful defense
Why is everyone this game so focused on preflip associatives lets find one scum then the buddy its not rocket science

I dont think arachnid and DK are scum together

This reads as really scummy to me. “I can’t be scum because you haven’t solved the game completely yet.” Sesq knows that no one needs to answer this in order to make a case against her, but newbies might not know that.
This is goodposting
Who even said anything about policy wrt you lol
This reminds me of an interaction I had with someone before I misclowned them recently. mmm.
I like that hes trying to keep the peace but I think its all I have seen him do
In post 244, cw357 wrote:hi peoples
i'm going to self
VOTE: cw357 because everyone thinks I'm conf-scum regardless, so what difference does it make
the main reason is, after reading the game, I'm fairly sure I've solved:
at least one and potentially two of the scums are in Sesq, arachnids, DkKoba
actually, please hang me, because then I will be a conf-town and you can actually
listen to this
. and if for whatever reason I'm wrong then we're no worse off because town is screwed atm anyways.
uhhh
I was feeling the pure town energy before and I think I am from this post too but its been the first post from cw thats made me raise an eyebrow
These are very safe reads
In post 279, Rannygazoo wrote:Dk's push for a quick lynch on page 4 is so transparently anti-town that I didn't even call it out because I thought they must have some gambit and I wanted to see how it played out. Maybe they were expecting newbies to jump on the wagon and expose themselves as scummy, or maybe it was a scum play so they could FoS the last newbie on the wagon. It didn't get to L-1 until much later, but arachnid sheeped dk immediately (87, 88). Not even the last time that this happened (210, 212). This is WEIRD, along with their mutual defense and dk's "obvtown" read of arachnid that they can't really explain. It's for this reason that I think that one of these two is scum, but probably not both, because it would just be too obvious if they're on a team together. Either dk is leading arachnid by the nose on a scum agenda, or dk is playing fast and loose (like they said, overgamed and going for fun plays instead of good plays) and arachnid is being an opportunist.
I agree that there is prob 1 scum in the duo but not 2
In post 315, Donempire wrote:i'm actually coming around to a policy lynch on arachnid because this shit shouldnt fly.
Why are you so focused on policy clowns this is the second time youve brought it up
Do you think arachnid is scum? Because its not policy if youre scumreading her.
In post 342, JDye wrote:I can't see any justification for her play being beneficial to town here. I'd be pretty happy with her getting hammered, if she doesn't come up with something decent in the time Alonzo's given her.
mmmm
Scum is way more focused on optimal play. This kinda drops you some.
