Can you outline a situation in which an inexperienced scum slips up due to RQS and gets caught?In post 67, Grendel wrote:Here random questions is uncommon to the point that I have a decent chance of tripping inexperienced scum, and identifying some town.
Please read my post carefully. How people start off is AI.

Its only purpose should be to jumpstart a game if it's dead and literally nobody is posting.In post 94, Gamma Emerald wrote:Accountant what is your actual position on doing the RQS?
I disagree. Mutton's OP was perfectly fine. You probably mixed it up with Paul's OP.In post 92, Grendel wrote:What do you think of Mutten's OP. It read as super detached from the games state. More like checking a box for required partipation then genuine content imo
What are you trying to gain by posting this?In post 97, Klick wrote:Grendel, do you think personality is important in obtaining reads?
Yeah but I don't think it's scummy weird.In post 102, DeathRowKitty wrote:Weird summary post with weird snipes at weird people.
Hi you just made my thinking about 10x easier
Paul has clearly read the thread if he's seen the RQS and self vote joke but he chose not to comment on the discussion. Your thoughts on this?In post 116, DeathRowKitty wrote:I think his choice to answer the questions and his choice to self-vote were both sub-optimal there, but I think both are well within the range of things a lot of newer players would do as either alignment and I don't find the combination of the two to be any greater than the sum of its parts.

If that was what I wanted to do it sure seems dumb that I'd also engage with them and try to understand their reads and thought processIn post 170, Backhand wrote:Did not like Accountant's calling out of VIs--those first few pages weren't that bad, and it seems like a way to set up discrediting people's opinions later.

I had the thought of "scum Gamma would care more about making themselves look good and would therefore read it until they understood it so they can form a better response" but im very unsure of how legitimate this is as a tell which is why I didn't bring it upIn post 232, DeathRowKitty wrote:My thoughts on gamma's response is that he probably legitimately doesn't know what I meant.
IMO they've had this air the entire gameIn post 232, DeathRowKitty wrote:Eh, I tend to just completely write off "I don't think scum would do this" towntells when the person in question is angry.

It almost kinda sorta seems productive at first glance, but it's really just white noise. I guess I'm just describing active lurking, aren't I?

Why did you make this post?In post 252, CCC wrote:This seems a bit sudden. Could be Town rethinking a read, could be Mafia realising a fake read isn't going to fly and backing off...In post 194, NotTheRealPaul wrote:Oh so a VI is pretty much me got it
also after looking back at it, my little scum read on accountant was just me being stupid. Agree with cheetory that he was being pretty tryhard so id say he is prob town rn.
Why the tr?In post 296, Grendel wrote:Whats on your mind?In post 293, Accountant wrote:Grendel, let's talk about your strong tr of Gamma.
Masian is a legendary poster on this site. It was once said that she once caught the entire scum team on page 1. She has never not been protected at night and when she replaces into games, it's standard operating procedure for the scum to just claim and let themselves get lynched to save everyone time. She quit mafia after the FBI offered her a lucrative contract to put her skills to work sniffing out Russian spies.In post 300, Gamma Emerald wrote:Who is masian

This sarcastic response feels forced.In post 332, NotTheRealPaul wrote:yup obviously I voted myself because I know Im scum and I want towncred since I led the wagon on myself.
So when I flip scum, then obviously im like conftown because I led the wagon so then I dont need to worry about being mislynched
Practically speaking policy lynches never go throughIn post 361, CCC wrote:This is one of the things I find particularly worrying about the calls against MuttonChopMagic. Calls to lynch someone for a posting gimmick just feel a lot like Mafia trying to push through a lynch on a Townie - and then get away with minimal suspicion when he does, in fact, flip Town.In post 307, Grendel wrote:A majorty of the scum reads around him seem to do with his posting gimmick and him being scummy for that vs reasons I think are creditable?
You shouldn't have such lofty expectations of N_M.In post 365, CCC wrote:I won't hold my breath, but... do you think you could at least let us know your current reads?
I'm uncomfortable with how you've moved from MCM policy lynch to N_M policy lynch rather than ~ actual scum lynches ~In post 377, Backhand wrote:Spoiler: drk posts
I really like the way drk engaged with raya and gamma in these posts, mcm. So I'd take him out of your pool, if I were you.
If we all think and/or know not_mafia plans on being unreadable and useless through the whole game, I'd as soon be rid of him now.

I've never lurked as scum, I've lurked plenty of times as town.In post 425, Gamma Emerald wrote:I remember who taught me that one.
It was Human Sequencer in Autumn Masquerade.
I'll go back and see where I applied it and whether it worked that time.
