Katsuki also played half (more like 3/4ths) of Anything Goes, as the hydra Unmasked Kit with me, winning that game. (I helped, but I mainly provided moral support except in a couple of key instances where I was instrumental in the lynch, e.g. AP, Mac, 3p lylo.)

Oi! My scumplay's pretty amazing, too!
It's just that most people don't get to see it thanks to my disproportionately small number of scumgames!
The last "big time" scumgame of mine was
Left 4 Dead. You have to understand that, at the time, I had
just
finished writing the
Stop Bussing article. (Okay, so a few months, but it was still fresh in mind.) Then, in the pregame chatter for L4D, I had a radical idea I proposed to my scumbuddies: I asked them if it would be okay for us to all do cross-bussing and list all our scumbuddies as our scumreads.
...
And we did
. We bussed enough to make it obvious we held "suspicion" of our scumbuddies, but JUST lightly enough that we were able to get a mislynch. N1, I predicted that I would be investigated (I even had a hunch it'd be by BBMolla!), but decided not to do anything about it and instead kill AP, the player most likely to figure out my scum plan.
Then, D2 rolled around, and BBMolla softed (but didn't outright claim) a guilty on me. So what did I do?
I openly claimed scum, and then proceeded to troll the town for the remainder of the day, including sewing the seeds of doubt into the minds of the town about their cop. (Which ultimately netted us a free mislynch and an exposed cop we could freely deal with.)
I knew I could trust my scumbuddies to win, too, not only for our D1 play, but because Majiffy was my scumbuddy and I knew he and I thought alike when it came to kills. When I talk about situational awareness, this is one of my favorite games to cite, because going into it, I
knew
people would be scumreading me. (Disclosure #2: I was scum in the predecessor-game to L4D,
Walking Dead, which had most of the same players and a large number who knew how to read me correctly. So basically, when going into the game, I knew that I was going to die, and die early. So instead of playing a game of survivalism, from the get-go, I was aiming to make sure players were mislead.) So I turned what should have been a disadvantage (them scumreading me) into a weapon.
Reason it got me a scummy nom.
