In post 580, Dannflor wrote: I guess WePick's vague "70% chance HEM is scum" thing reads to me like a pocket read they hope becomes more clear mechanically, i kinda think they'd be more upfront if they had something like a soft guilty

which is not to diminish WePick's read, but I don't particularly have an opinion on HEM and I have a selfish interest in MY pocket read being correct

as far as Zefiend, their awkwardness could be attributable to this being their first game back on this site in years, I don't deny that

but i think they kinda overreact to suspicion while trying to maintain a jokey demeanor in [posst]471[/post]. that cross of being genuinely annoyed by someone taking your RVS post as suspicious while still trying to be like "lol idc im jsut being silly" is the type of contradiction that comes from scum a lot. you'll see townies drop the playful tone and just get annoyed, or stay playful and not seem annoyed at all, but scum ends up doing both a lot of the time

also idk what they are saying in . it's hard to figure out what position they actually have and it reads appeasey. like yes they don't mind mass claim but also they don't want to claim but yes they realize that's suspicious but maybe someone smart can figure out how to work around it. idgi

This is all a fair explanation. I'm trying to show intent on scum hunting and understanding the game but 1) it's bastard, 2) I legitimately missed a whole Day, 3) I reply to Cabal and get nothing in return (either strategically or because of having 11 heads)

I feel like HEM's done less than everyone to that end except Klick at this point so no problem going there. But if somehow Klick's role overpowers a prod then there is some serious bastardry going on.

A vote is a vote regardless of number of heads.

Of the heads that are active in our discord at the moment, we all endorse this vote. That would be Bell, LLD and me.

I don't expect the other heads to put on the brakes.

I didn't hate your response, hence no followup from me.

I remembers a newbie game I modded that scum-you played a 2-3 years ago. Your play here looks more open and less agenda'd.

I forgot to mention what I got from drinking. I just learned that it takes at least 24 hours to get a response when sky's thing activates.

i think Zefiend is the first person to point out I've done basically nothing in day 2 which to me is a very good sign

For what it's worth I think scum is within halfasleep, Klick, HEM, with HEM being the least likely
