Scum would have seen an opportunity to cast suspicions on two people and not really care which way it went. And I do believe that scum would sit back and let the situation unfold organically. Coming out of the gate pointing a finger at the most obvious suspect is not exactly subtle. I mean let's think this through for a second. Scum comes out and says it must have been Xiao, it makes perfect sense. We lynch Xiao and he flips town. What does scum who pointed finger do, hand wave it away? Doing what you say is the logical scum tactic in this situation is actually counterintuitive to smart play here.
And you are going to have to buck up there and put your big boy pants on today and stop bitching about being scum read. You are not conftown and a lot of the town cured your slot did have has been spent on bad pushes.
Were you able to find any past scum games for me? Or care to respond to anything else from my post? Or Xiaos post?
if xiao flips town i'm going after acryon. i have tangible reasons for townreading you and kj. in my hard reset last night phase i was not sure why i had xiao and acryon in my townpile in the first place.
you can say i'm queuing up mislynches.
that sounds really familiar
because the thing is, i believe a certain line of thought (someone in my townpile is scum) and i have very strong reasons for believing so (gamestate analysis + nightkills). yes, i will lynch through people in my ex-townpile because i think there's scum there. yes, it's a valid strategy. in fact i just lead town to win a game through that strategy. i replaced in with town in an excellent position, saw we had 2 mislynches left, towncleared two people based on INCREDIBLY SIMPLE reasoning (literally my ENTIRE CASE was that day 1 interactions with scum didn't make sense), and lynched through that pile
wrt nightkills not being a good reason or whatever, i actually really like thor as a player even though i don't play with him often, and one of the things i *remember* reading from him (this was a while back when i used to actually read what people wrote about mafia theory) was that OMGUS is often misapplied.
you are misapplying OMGUS. someone who was commonly read as town is being lynched today because nightkills tell us that WE are off our fucking marks with scumreads this game. that person is xiao or maybe acryon because i believe in you being town, i believe in kj being town, and i know that i am town and stop fucking telling me to play this game assuming i'm scum, because that's what people are doing with that scumslip nonsense. someone who everyone had their townpiles is scum. that's why randommidget of all people was killed, that's why bbt was killed. scum is trying to preserve gamestate right now and we should really change that.
and your next reply to me will contain a substantial argument against my analysis beyond "all nightkills are omgus"
because they are not, my friend.
We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.
