Scum may have been given fakeclaims for abilities and not necessarily for character, or have other bits of setup information - like Brian said, there may be effetive flavor traps. Or not. For now, is there benefit to continue the setup speculation? UnlessKagamisays yes, can we all drop it for now? Thanks.- Plum

Hmm. Tried reading again. I think he's wrong - that is, I think his view of your play, that lead to his vote, is not actually the design or intent of your play. But I'm not convinced that this is scum nefariousness on his part.
I'd be happy to take up the position.In post 157, BROseidon wrote:Also Tammy needs to get her ass in here and obvtown up so she can lead. Towns without structure suck :/
Agree that Bro's stuff regarding the setup and setup speculation isn't a significant Towntell. It's always nice to have common sense about, though.- Plum

Cases are scummy, haven't you heard? But I'll tear you apart a little if you like. I might even enjoy it.In post 177, Paschendale wrote:Plum is mainly just a reaction to her tone, but she did go along with Kagami right away. She was one of the few not to react with "what's a weak miller?" My asking that was another thing I amended in my first post right before submitting it. But Plum fell in line right away. In general, though, her posts contain quips, emotes, and unsupported votes. But nothing resembling cases or opinions. Some of it is associative to Kagami, and that's unwise without a flip, but the rest is dodgy comments and tone.

Very odd claim. How is your Millerhood described in your Role PM, if you can paraphrase please.
There was a reason I asked what I did the way I did, you know.In post 62, Plum wrote:I'm going to put my evaluation on hold until Bert answers my earlier question, anyway. It should help clear up what 'Weak' is doing here, too.
Your case against Kagami is blatantly disingenuous and a very bad move on your part. She never, contrary to your statements, implied that it was the Normal Weak modifier:
It don't know that anyone thought 'Weak' meant what it usually does - it was pretty clear to me by the time she explained it that it probably meant what she then went on to say it means and that she believed scum didn't have access to the fact that such a modifier would be part of the setup.In post 78, Kagami wrote:The "Weak" thing is legit, it doesn't mean weak in the traditional sense. Since Bert is the first to mention it, he's town.
She never asked for another 'Weak' claim - only stated what she'd do in the event of a third one - which, considering what she assumed about scum knowledge, was a pretty reasonable approach.
This isn't even remotely plausible. Scum don't and can't have the Weak modifier; they are Weak by default.In post 147, Paschendale wrote:I think it is far more likely that she or part of the scum team is a goon and has the weak modifier, hence how they know what it means.

This doesn't completely rule out a Titan(-shifter?) having 3DMG, but it certainly implies that the default state is that Human characters have the 3DMG ability and scum do not.In post 622, pitoli wrote:4. There is a fancy night-only mechanic involving the 3D Maneuver Gear technology from the story!! Human-aligned players will be able to use a limited special ability to avoid Titan actions during the Night, leading to general confusion and misdirection.
Key words here are 'by the time she explained it'. As in, not immediately, but after some of Kagami's cryptic-ish statements and before she stated it explicitly, I made the intuitive leap. And to clarify - from the time Kagami stated with confidence that the modifier wasn't Normal Weak and that scum wouldn't know what it was, I couldn't come up with a usual setup approach that wouldn't involve scum knowledge of what the Weak modifier is. But I hoped Kagami had explicit reason to believe it was the case, that the confidence from which she spoke was based on that information.In post 210, Paschendale wrote:
That's a weird misrep of your own reaction to the weak claim. And Pie's. And Kaze's. Kaze explicitly invoked the standard meaning.

Only those who didn't giveanycredence to Kagami's initial statement that Weak wasn't the Normal Weak modifier believed that it must mean what it means in Normal games.

Whatever. I pretty much figured it out and given that I hoped Kagami was right about scum not knowing, kept my mouth shut and hoped they hadn't pieced it together too. Given that we now know there's no Mod-information reason on Kagami's side to believe scum didn't know about it . . . I still read Kagami-town and Bert-Town.- Plum

If this game degenerates into Kagami vs. Bro and F16 vs. ActionDan I won't be a happy camper.
I'll try. Just read up to Tammy's first post, and happy so far so, really, either way.In post 262, BROseidon wrote:
Then start building some structure.In post 176, Plum wrote:I'd be happy to take up the position.
Because so far everyone's running around with their heads cut off.
This reminds me - there's probably not an outright breaking strategy to use of the 3DMG ability. As in the series, we don't necessarily know what scum know or what counter abilities they have (it wouldn't especially shock me if scum had as either a group or one as a character ability a one-shot effective Strongman). But there may be a strategy that will optimize our use of it that will still be beneficial even though it obviously needs to be discussed in the presence of scum. I'm going to think on it, and I hope others will do the same.In post 275, BROseidon wrote:Scum are probably trying to out-WIFOM various townies about when they'll burn their commutes. Having closer to guaranteed kills later in the game is probably something scum are going to want to hold on to.
For everything good in the world, stop the madness of BRO vs. Pie. More likely Town vs. Town than not (before a meta check on the two of them, anyway. Scum attracting this much attention this early on this basis doesn't seem a good risk/reward ratio at all. Both are being a little overinvested in fairly typical early-game anomalies to my reading, and neither seem scummy or off in general throughout the discussion - though I should do another look at that later I guess maybe, plus maybe a look at the F16 and co. business. I'm most interested in stuff from Pasch, Tammy, Muffin, and sort of Kagami when I have these 7 pages to read for the first time, for various reasons).
This is a nice feeling.

It's different than what I expected from this game and I'm trying to find out if the reasons is either that people simply don't know her, or because I'm wrong about my assumptions about her, or because scum is somehow mingling in that discussion and amplifying the noise it's making in this game. Regardless, it says very little about plum's allignment. It might say something about the people talking about her.
Pasch, though admittedly I think that's it? You didn't respond to anything in my post related to your suspicions, which is mildly annoying but in this case doesn't strike me as an issue relevant to my scumhunting (i.e. I've already made a general decision to trust you on stuff for the time being).In post 393, zMuffinMan wrote:who is talking about plum-scum other than me?

ActionDan and Kaze are two on whom I have little grasp. More worried about Dan, to be honest. I should read his stuff in more context - I skimmed his ISO just now - but I'm not impressed particularly. It's all one theme - maybe two, if you count the Townread on Kaze. F-16, by contrast, from the outset has irons in many fires.- Plum

He . . . seems to be pointing out that it's perfectly conceivable that someone finds letting a line of questioning go like that scummy. Which is true. Right now I don't think that in this case it's a particularly good argument on ActionDan's part (for reasons that go beyond the actual instance he argues about). IIn post 440, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:Plum, what do you think of BRO's interpretation of Dan's statements. I could see a scenario where Dan is town and BRO is scum buddying him.don'tthink Dan's trajectory is particularly good. To be honest, you started this discussion by asking Bro what he thought of Dan. Tempo and timing don't suggest that Bro is taking in-the-moment advantage of the question to buddy up to Dan. His position here is reasonable - which is to say null on both scumminess and buddying for Bro here. I think you're reaching and blowing this specific series of interactions out of proportion, to be honest.
Don't want to get into a long theory discussion, but a long Day 1 is often not good for Town.- Plum

Kagami, please don't. Bro is almost certainly not a better vote than Pasch. Basides, your argument makes almost zero sense. Bro's point was that your belief depended on something that was very unlikely from a balance perspective. Why do you think Bro wouldn't take the small risk, if it was that, of insulting the Mod, if he genuinely believed something was unviable from a balance perspective and that it was relevant to Town assumptions about gamestate? Arrrrgh.In post 450, Kagami wrote:Bro, you've thrice complained that it would be impossible for scum not to know about the weak stuff, and have even said that it would be "gamebreakingly bad modding" for that to be so. If you're wrong, that's one hell of an insult to pitoli. I think it's unlikely that you'd be willing to tell the mod off like that, especially since you've modded yourself and not without difficulty. The only way you could be sure you're not seriously insulting pitoli is if you are scum and you were indeed told about the weak modifier.

Don't get me wrong, this occurred to me as a definite possibility. I waited to see her response while she might still have had confidence in my Townread on her. I'm not particularly impressed?In post 461, BROseidon wrote:Kagami just tipped her hand.
She's either a lot less good that people have been giving her credit for, or she's scum trying to protect a buddy.
Kagami - are you really that sure scum had no information about the Weak modifier? As in, does your PM give you direct reason to believe that? Nothing in-thread suggests that they didn't. Even if the risk isn't small, your Broscum read rests on the assumption that Town-Bro wouldn't see it this way or wouldn't call out a mechanic or setup element that didn't make sense from a balance perspective.Ididn't think it made much sense to assume that; I only did because your confidence implied you had information in your Role PM that indicated that scum didn't know. I just can't fathom why you think this is a good argument, which gives me at least some pause. Bro - you may be right. Hm. Really not sure here. It would explain one thing that didn't make sense - why did Kagami out what Weak meant so easily when Bert didn't get it? What was gained for the Town by doing that? It was a piece of information that could always be explained later if it turned out that it was necessary e.g. if people kept running Bert up after all that.
I don't want to be too condescending here but I'll take the risk. I'm not here to referee theory fights that people get worked up about, take too personally or seriously, and vote on. Or maybe I am, but I'd rather people didn't make me spend my energy on it. This exactly what TownIn post 463, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:

1) I disagree with your assessment of the likelihood based on my own experience in games and as a Moderator who's constructed Theme setups and had them reviewed.
2) This is a horrible reason to suspect Bro. Your assessment of whatothersthink is likely to be unbalanced is obviously different here from more than just his.- Plum

I think it's unlikely that the Weak modifier was unknown to scum absent Town with Mod-derived information suggesting they don't. It's a potential significant balance issue which is most easily fixed by giving scum some information about this. It is incredibly swingy and a worse fix to assume that Town would semi-confirm at least a couple of people based on claiming Weak and give scum extra power to combat that - especially given that Weak players are presumably intended as a buff to scum both in terms of having outs for not being commuted out of Night kills the entire game and WIFOM shelters for massclaim and other scenarios. In this specific case, I think that things played out to strongly indicate Bert Town.- Plum

... he said it would be if the Mod didn't inform the scumteam about it somehow. Furthermore you're assuming that because you think it's too offensive to take a chance saying Bro would have that perspective too, which. Too many assumptions, y'see.In post 486, Kagami wrote:plum, I have to think about it. I still think the certainty, certain enough to know that he's not being extremely offensive to someone, is unwarranted. I would have to be near 100% certain before I would say something like that. In no public conversation does he do anything like telling someone their modding is gamebreakingly bad.- Plum

Kaze: Pasche literally and directly misrepped Kagami. He stated that she pretended that Weak meant Normal Weak even though she knew that wasn't true - but sheneverdid so; from the beginning she stated clearly that itwasn'tNormal Weak. So, besides an outright lie and a bunch of fallacious accusations that I lied -
Spoiler: This is really tl;dr because cases are scummy, yo
You know what? Remember how CTD found me out in Boat? 'Assess posts based on how hard they'd be to fake for scum.' So. Looks at Post #115, Post #398. Look at them in context. Tell me that they're not easy to make and fake as scum, especially given context. Tell me that those cases aren't contrived and lacking in actual substance. Tell me Pasche is scumhunting. Tell me it's not just words words words. Go on.- Plum
