Oh, yes. Yes. I know Vic's towngame, too; I can tell you as the scum IC from his first towngame, he's good.In post 77, RedCoyote wrote:Nominate VictorDeAngelo for Rising Star for NG 1479: Somebody's Gonna Die!
A very smart, coordinated effort by this scumteam led to a perfect victory. Victor was active in the game throughout, and he was able to feign passion and scumhunting at will. He never drew much suspicion, and he never exceeded more than 2 votes on his wagon (in fact, was never voted after D1). The scumteam shot the only town PR on the first night. I was thoroughly impressed.
Oh, yes.In post 97, pieguyn wrote:nominate displaced for Best Replacement
this guy replaced into a mislynch slot at 6p MYLO in Attack on Titan and proceeded to peg the fuck out of the scumteam. the game was up in the air at that point but he replaced in and quickly made a bunch of decisive arguments for BRO scum in 4p MYLO that were pretty much quick and painless. he didn't even have to do anything ridiculous to get the lynch, he just walked in and started owning it. there's a very good chance town would have lost this otherwise, but him replacing in here pretty much sealed the fate of a town win.
I mentioned Walking Dead mainly as a reference FOR Left 4 Dead, to compare the mechanics.

The modkill wasn't for anything he did in the game--it was for something meant as a joke outside the game, which was judged to be for the game (and thus, bringing outside influences into the game) even though it was incredibly ambiguous and not a call that was clean-cut. My understanding is, essentially, that he started a thread about who you'd nightkill as scum, when he was scum during the night of Anything Goes. And that it was interpreted as being for Anything Goes, rather than a joke.In post 132, Desperado wrote:he got fucking modkilled in AG, are you shitting me?In post 128, mastin2 wrote:Most recently, you can see it in Left 4 Dead, but I'm sure there are a ton of other examples. Anything Goes and Amnesiac Mafia seem to be frequently-cited games, for instance.
Putting aside the debate about the modkill/thread, though, it IS a good example, off of his play. His dayplay was amazingly good, both in that game and in all scumgames since and some before then that I've seen and heard about. I don't think there's a better player at looking town when scum than Sven. Sure, yeah, there are scum players who are VERY good at it and competent in other areas, too, but Sven is much stronger in that area than I've seen from others, and is no slouch when it comes to other areas, either.In post 134, Faraday wrote:Citing [Anything Goes] as a good example is p lol, tho.
His actions outside the game, potentially (and even probably) accidentally. Not inside. Inside the game, he was playing a top-notch gameplay during the day.In post 140, Untrod Tripod wrote:His actions were against his wincon.
I'm not trying to start a debate about the validity of a months-old modkill or attack the people who made the decision, here. It happened; the call was made. However, my point is that discarding a good scumgame because of a modkill that was for something outside the scumgame shouldn't be the case, when it was not clear-cut. I have no doubts it was a hard decision. But that's the thing--if it was an easy decision, then it'd be clear-cut, and the fact that it wasn't an easy decision by its very nature means that it wasn't clear-cut (thus, ambiguous). Not sure how that logic isn't clear.In post 143, Tierce wrote:Undersigning UT here, and adding that it sure is a joy to have to make a call on whether an MD thread is a "joke" or an actual reference to an ongoing game. You think it's ambiguous? Now imagine being on the team who has to make a call on whether to nuke something like that from orbit or not.

Their game is best described as "Find every player correctly scumreading any of us, and mislynch them, because killing them at night would be too easy."
Overcoming several blatant scumslips, an incriminating night result, and general player POE in the end, they got there with only one scum lynch, one that was engineered to seal the game for them with a resulting chain mislynch.

I mean, I suppose I'm a bit new and perhaps haven't seen it all, but I've seen some crazy shenanigans, and I amreallyimpressed with how Mastin2 had such a knowledge and command of her own meta that she was able to manipulate it in such a way that things would fall into place for scum like that. Dayum. I think one of the toughest things is to break the mold once people have a handle on what makes you tick, and rather than attempting tobreakthe mold, Mastin2usedpeople's expectations to further her teameven after death.And you have to give credit to the rest of the scum team for executing the plan with almost artful brilliance.
Mastin2 sums everything up pretty well in the last couple pages of the mafia thread.

Town, led (with an iron rod) by zMuffin, successfully killed both of Red team in an 8-2-2 with 3 town masons (Muffin, Aneninen, and MDD (NK'd N1)). He then had both me and Elyse (Blue team) pegged on D4 (or at least would have had us doomed on D5) with some sweet fakeclaim baiting that would have worked but for an unfortunate slip by the only VT (AP) who was, like everyone, assuming there was only a SK and town had a ML to spare.
zMuffin is some sort of terrifying Mafia savant and I never want to be scum in a game with him again because it makes me do problems in my undergarments.
Since you can't nominate a player for a scummy that doesn't exist, yet, how about going for one that does?
