OMGUSsing is more likely to come from town than scum, since scum are all about how they look and are in generally, less likely to do that.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

I think to maybe extend on 2) particularly the charisma thing - I think that you probably wont see a game full of charismatic people not getting lynched but 1 charismatic dude that other people follow.
Then what happens is that block of people will be like 'I don't want to stray from this hive mind or they'll turn on me' so even though the 'hive mind' might be wrong, people just go for a safety in numbers approach. Someone might be looking at the game from a different angle or playing devils advocate for the right reasons, but might is probably likely to get lynched for going against the grain of the hive mind.
I think I'm saying sometimes people find it easier to go 'urgh different, must lynch' rather than 'lets try and understand that different POV'-

5: yup. Bussing is useful because people undervalue it.In post 0, RadiantCowbells wrote:from least unpopular to most unpopular
5) anyone who says that they don't bus unless they need to or not at all is essentially claiming that they are a scum player with a narrow range of games that they are able to play
4) fluffposting contains just as much alignment indicative information as walls and cases and is more difficult for most players to fake
3) looking towny as scum is either the least or the second least important scum skill next to imitating your towngame despite the heavy value most assign to it
2) energy, charisma, and time to post in thread are in most cases the factors that determine whether a player is lynched or not, not towniness of posts.
1) MS's high replace rate is a blessing in disguise, except when it gets to the point where games are bleeding people faster than they can replace
4: yup, provided you have a large enough sample. Both ingame and in meta.
3: meh. Its important to know how to portray yourself as town, but not as important to constantly 'be towny'.
2: Yes, to a large extent. Of course, knowing when to shut up and let people focus on other players is also useful.
1: No. I hate replacements in general. They throw wrenches into an otherwise solid game. Ask any scum or sk who has ever been lylo-lynched by a replacement with less than 50 posts. I personally play and post with the intention of tailoring my posts to my specific audience i.e. the current playerbase, not some new player.-

This isn't the reason why
You need to play around replacements as scum
Replacing into slots where scum replaced out of a basically unwinnable situation though2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-

Tell me when the Open Queue is less than 4 months backed up, if you don't mind, because I'd like to play one. You know how to reach me on discord.
Actually no, you're too much of a coward to talk to me anyway.WIP-

I actually feel like I have been nicer to people.
A lot more then I used to be.
tn doesn't deserve it.
And like.
451 just isn't my crowd anymore.
I'm anchored to MS and 451 all has the same mentality of "MS sucks" and yes it does but idc I just wanna have fun and as of recently ever since I started playing I have been having fun except for 1 time I freaked out because a bunch of shit was happening.
But for the most part
I've been trying? =(| here.GTKAS-

Alisae literally unfriended me and started calling me a piece of shit because i reported to staff that narna was ban evading and proved that alisae was aware of it.
Not sorry, don't want to your friend anymore, enjoy your life or not i guess.
