you get punishment points for doing something scummy and not learning from it, but fewer of them because its a newbie lobby

Are you saying you think Freddie could be scum PR? I tend to agree. I keep getting the feeling she's looking for town PRs.

why is there a difference? arent all scum equally motivated to hunt down town PRs? just like all townies are equally motivated to hunt down scum

It's a strategy I adopted from IRL play. My friends all know I don't like playing as scum, and I'm too easy to read as scum. So I play scummy in the beginning to try to get scum on my side and then turn on them. I was always confident in my ability to be read as innocent. This was in an Avalon setup where scum didn't know who one of their members was.
I was trying to do some 5D plays, but I realize I'm probably not good/readable enough to do it here.

This is a take I suppose?
you are technically correct

I don't know what Avalon is so im just shooting from the hip here but do you think is it wise to use strategies from a different game (among friends who know you well) here? or is this your attempt at covering up some bad behaviors up. to make reference to my own metric, you're sounding less eager and more suspicious. if its a good strategy to use yourself 'scum bait' then you're more strategic than i originally thought, in which case, you're somewhat erratic behavior looks more suspicious then newbie behavior

who are you talking to?
you.
the reason i think it would be those people is that i think the coaching would have to come from someone experienced. for example, i dont think i ever told freddie that scum would be hesitant to take a firm stance, but i think gobbles or apogee might give such advice. or maybe it was me. in any case in both prior games it was immediately obvious to me that freddie was town, but in this game im having trouble, which probably just means that freddie is learning (good), but still gives me the heebiee jeebiees (sp?) (bad).
avalon is a mafia variant that you can buy in stores and has specific role cards etc. its essentially the same, but a bit different.

One main difference is Avalon doesn't have lynching. It's very similar to a F2P game called Mindnight.

Yeah like it's a interesting perspective on who as scum is more motivated to PR hunt I've never heard before and am not really inclined to believe with. Not really AI imo but it's still kind of ?!?
p-edit: A take is just like a belief or a statement or whatnot. "This is one belief you could have I suppose"

We're not robots. Everyone has a different level of motivation for everything, even if they think they always play optimally. They "shouldn't" be more motivated, but they are more likely to be imo.
