When are scums scummiest?

[Umbrage]

Lategame. At the start and near the end, they're really cautious and purposefully unreadable. Anything from those times is useless. Earlygame is for arguing about the bullshit that happened D1, and is usually also an unreadable mess. Midgame is when everyone starts doing fucking weird shit and scummy is the norm. Lategame is sexytimes. Scum are getting cocky, they want the game to be over so they can reveal themselves, so they start pushing the last few mislynches as hard as they can. You can always spot scum in lategame. They're twitching, throwing quote walls around, ranting against some poor VT. That's when you hit them hard. Usually they panic and OMGUS you. Let them bury themselves with their own words. Seize control of the town and win another game.
