Each player in each group shares a common trait. They each have some sort of relationship to each other or have similar views. Scum typically don't want to be seen acting too similar to a scummate, so they try and distance themselves from their team, for the most part. In my experience, at least one player in a three-person scumteam will distance themselves as much as possible from the rest of the team. (if we have two mafia, they definitely don't want to be linked together in any way).Thirdkoopa wrote:While it's nice, I want elaborations on the people and groups you posted specifically.
By grouping together those who act similar, by their views, votes or other traits, we can sort out the most likely possible scumteams and go from there. Typically, this type of analysis is done after a mafia flip, but I'm getting a headstart on it.
Yes. It's better than being overly defensive about something not mentioned. If you were town and were called out for lurking in this manner, you should not care... as long as you're telling the truth. Scum have more of a reason to be over-defensive than town.Thirdkoopa wrote:I used thisIN-CASEsomeone called me out on this. This way NOT to make myself appear more Town or anything. This was to cover the lurking habit. I should have cleared that up.
Are you seriously just saying I should wait until someone calls me out on it for me to clear that up? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Then please, go further.I was just trying to gain info for future reads. Admittedly, I planned to go further with the case, but once I came back to find four new pages I generally figured nobody would care.
Caution is a scumtell.You realized nobody else even said this and he was at L-2... right? Anyone remember that one lynch on SHM5 where Shado came in and didn't know it was L-1? It's called being cautious. Nobody else was doing it.
This is bullshit. Make your case. Any case you make helps the town - by not making a case and sitting back, you are being strictlyIt never goes anywhere because of the whole habit I have when everyone's already jumping on other cases. I get the thought narrowed down in my mind that people won't care when in reality it does help us.
I'm actually starting to wonder if this is scum reverse psychology, because usually I'd think scum wouldn't be so stupid to admit they were lurking or being anti-town on purpose. =/
Compared to your previous activity, being this active after someone begins to give you heat for it IS a bit scummy, yes.Thirdkoopa wrote:I posted three times because I couldn't edit and meant to put it all in one post. And wow, he's trying to be active now! Thus he must be scum, right guys?! RIGHT?
You mean, post cases on other people besides you? In due time.On top of the groups thing, why don't you elaborate on more cases?
