I actually was able to hide behind your tunnel on me most of the game, and killing you off even if you hadn’t backed down, still would have been the right move.

You were just pushing things that weren’t AI, and it made it easy for me to go against you.

not really

it's not that town need -ridiculous- power bc they're bad. it's that they need it to balance for scum getting a factional NK, which is crazy powerful even tho no one acknowledges it.
Once you back out the help from PRs, on MS sitewide town lynches at ballpark =rand AT BEST, and I'd actually say it's sub rand. That's consistently bad town play. Theoretically it COULD be good scum play, but by and large scum aren't actually effectively manipulating town and driving mislynches, it's just that townies derp-tunnel each other for dumb reasons, spam the thread with nonsense, and in many cases have literally no clue what kind of behavior is scum-indicative vs town-indicative (not to mention that the replace-out rate in a lot of games is really bad, as "I don't feel like playing this game anymore" becomes a community-accepted reason to replace out; that's more of a "makes it unfun for everyone" rather than a necessarily pro-scum thing, but it overlaps with the lack of commitment and care that causes towns to be fairly consistent garbage).

Part of it is (IMO) consistently mediocre to outright bad IC'ing in the newbie queue, which teaches the next generation of players all sorts of bad habits and bad ideas, and the problem then starts to just reinforce itself.

This, by the way, is I think a good lesson in general.

Being pushed for obviously bad/wrong reasons can, in the hands of competent scum, be a blessing rather than a curse. It gives you something to sink your teeth into, and creates a chance to either drive a wagon on the guy pushing you or discredit the guy pushing you, which said choice depending on what is in scum's tactical best interest.

you could move the last townie to dead because endgamed, but i've seen it either way and it's not actually important.

I did just lose two scum games in a row, but I’ve been scum like 9 games of my last like 10.

But yeah, I did go like 2 and a half years undefeated as scum, so I do feel like I play well despite people saying I play average.

You can know I’m scum, but if you’re dead, what does that matter? Everything I say as scum generally makes sense, I feel,

The thing is, it’s more of me just hard to lynch, I feel.

I usually don’t get lynched as scum without being guiltied, and recently I feel like everyone’s just paranoid of me being scum, because my town games have been getting affected because of straight tinfoil theory stuff.

I’m good at 1v1’s, and I’m a Mafia team player, where I feel my true scum ability shows in games like BlackVoid’s scum game, or the game I finished recently where I was scum with Tchill and Aristo. Mulch set me up to roll with the game, really with absolutely no interaction with me.

I thought Antihero was the traitor.

I don't think you play average in general. I'm pretty sure anti was also just talking bout this particular game.

I thought this game was maybe slightly above average, but overall I agree you're generally a strong scum player.

To comment on the two scum games in a row I lost, one of them I didn’t even really play much, and my scum member forfeited. A scum team member was prematurely flipped before being L-1, and a comment was shown that incriminated us as scum that i asked to be taken down, and wasn’t, which Mulch then brought up for the exact reason, and the second scum loss was a loss, but I thought I played really well in that one. :lol:

I’m sick of being scum, to be honest. I’ve had like 8 scum games in the past 9 or 10 games.

And if you read me as scum, there’s a reason you were dead. I can be as obvious to you as I want, but if you’re dead it doesn’t matter.

I personally feel I’m a stronger town player than scum, but people are just always ultra paranoid of me being scum now, so my town game is taking a hit so I’ve been changing up my scum play every game.

This was a pretty small effort scum game for me, but if it was a larger effort, I don’t think it would have had the same result, if that makes sense.

I’m strongest when I can mastermind and control the game, and I couldn’t mastermind here.

This game was hard, haha. I couldn’t takeover and it had a strong town player list.

You seem to peg me correctly nearly every single game, and I hate it. :lol:

You should play with RC and I, have him learn how to town read me.

Happy scum day!

I almost brought up you saying miller claim should never be left alive to the end from Day 1.

I planned on killing you before you asked to be killed, and I thought I was being a pal by killing you off.

You’re also one of the few players on site I have trouble 1 on 1’ing.

Gamma gave me the opening to go for the lynch on Hawk before Sheep was lynched, and I was already planning on killing you and bringing them into the final 3. I almost *almost* no killed, but that’s a real typical Boon move.
