What Do You Deem Scummy?

Yo. I'm looking into writing another guide of some sort, but I want to get some more perspectives of what makes different individuals' ScumDar go off.

Can be anything really that would make you want to vote someone, like a flip flop on a read, an early claim, or hammering at E-1 without allowing a claim. Really just wanting to see what others see as scummy, and take all of that into consideration for writing another guide. (Might be a while, but it's been on my mind, so thought I'd be a bit proactive).

What's Scummy vs What Scum Actually Do
is kind of a starting point for what I'm writing, but I expect and would like it to evolve into a bit more than that.

If you'd like to check out my other guide, here's Playing As Mafia.

Something that pings me generally is when people make that fourth or fifth vote on a wagon after a stalled wagon. It always gives me pause because it's an active piece of action taken. It definitely can come from town, but I always get nervous when someone makes that step.

it is a fair point to naturally scum read with the majority of players who have had success as scum for sure.

The combination of that + me giving away trades and secrets of my scum game have ensured my town game to forever suffer :lol: Town game because scum games I at least would have partners to help pushback.

When people deal in absolutes early in game i generally tend to put up a wall against, though it comes from town a lot.
