It’s a question that would be good for May to answer regardless…instead of being asked to the general playerbase.

By this logic, if scum outdraft is we essentially are burning townies and eliminations for fun and profit to avoid hitting potential roles?

Dave is not on my hit list right now.
I can only give u meta of previous experience with dave to tell u that nothing out of the ordinary i have seen from dave to make me think he is better than just random firing in this game to find scum.

If you got specific posts or such u want to work a scum case on him, im open to listening but most of what dave has done here is just push w/e is top wagon. He is going to rely on game mechanics to do most of the heavy lifting of sorting this game, plus VCA when he gets it. If he is scum, he can easily hide behind all this. But for instance him not actively pursuing a push on his preferred 'read', isn't something I consider scummy when he just wants wagon data and to move into the night.

Ohh i forgot that dave is also second in draft.
That is also another reason not to kill dave.

Need a good scumcase if we go at him day 1.

Its issue with Dave is that he comes across as using opportunistic strategies to advance his agendas and not being transparent or townie in doing so. It's one thing to have a goal, it's another to try and accomplish that goal while remaining at arms length and being contradictory to their own beliefs while doing it.

It's said it across several posts today, but its take on Dave's interactions with it and the thread is essentially that Dave is trying to accomplish goals like game control and shifting targets for elimination without consistent logic and with tactics it considers shady and suspicious.

if you can show me the scum agenda im listening, I see no agenda other than moving a wagon. Getting to the night, etc.

Do u think he is purposefully pushing players he thinks are town, if so, where?

No, it did not. It knows any game has a limited number of town eliminations before we lose, and with two possible vigilantes in the game, burning townies is the last thing on its mind. It doesn't know if it agrees that we have a whole Day and Night cycle to give. If both Vigs are in the game and even one is in the hands of scum, the odds that both vigs hit town increase dramatically. It believes, as a result if we hit town day 1 without consideration, and then two vigs eventually remove two more town, we're at what 6-3? That leaves us with 1 elimination before we are in endgame.

It's just not certain that there is a good world where we can afford to say "these players are off limits for a day, go searching elsewhere". It understands the logic, infact it gets the entire concept given there are a lot of powerful town roles in the game we do not wish to expose but it really thinks that something like this should be considered the same way that number logic psychology should. A place to begin, but if a player is transparently the most scummy player in the lobby... it's not right to just allow that player to thrive unchecked.
