Okay but you'd think scum would want to hide behind being all "just for memes" and that's literally the premise of your team which is why I think scum is crawling all over it
I prefer they, thanks :)

In the movie, Spamton is a red player who, up to the dance partner game event, had only made thirteen [[NONSENSICAL]] [[gimmick!!!]] posts. Then, when his behind was on the line, his red friends poked him to start posting to cleave his redness onto a green player so he wouldn't be left behind.

What do you think about him not proposing to anyone?

This time though he's heading for his own fate. Do you think Scum will miss out and be the ONLY player who hasn't offered to dance wit someone?

Unless -of course- you're saying there are TWO SCUMS in MT/Dwlee, and at least one will refuse to accept a dance offer until time has ran out and Mafia decided to pair them up with Scum!Math. Do you think this is a remotely reasonable assumption?

Checking in during lunch break. I was trying to do things when it wasn’t mafia but that’s not my strong suit. I didn’t have capability to do as I was being asked. Soon as we had a mafia game I was able to start reads. I will catch up after work and see how things are going but this post is slimy.

Furthermore, give me time and I am a proven force who can deliver in dance games. It’s a freakin proven fact.

What does this mean? Because I won’t sacrifice my job when my last day off was before I repped into this game? I hustle when I can and how I can and make no apologies for it.

@Math: can you at least offer to dance with Dwlee and MT (each separately on its own line.. and bolded)? Then THEY decide

I think scum, particularly if they have SRs from several prominent players, can and will be very careful in a situation like this so as to propose to someone that's likely to accept, and won't rock the boat too much. I don't think there's 2 scum in MT/Dwlee, I'm not even sure there's 1.

@Math, no one's asking you to sacrifice your job. It's not my intent to say you're scum for not posting enough. I hate using activity as AI for pretty much this exact reason, sometimes people are just busy irl. But I am saying, what you have been posting now that we're playing real mafia, is not the amazing tour de force of scumhunting that you've been bragging about being able to provide.

MT do you want Math or can I take Math

I think I have a decent chance of being able to read Math in a PT from the games I've played with him

Unless I get hard pocketed :clown:

What do you mean? What other choice besides MT/Dwlee? I only mentioned those two because you brought up whether I thought there was scum between them.

No. What I mean is you said Scum will be very careful who they propose to. In my book, he should have proposed earlier when he did have a wider pool. Now he literally has only those two to propose to, and yet he hasn't even done that yet.

Meanwhile; there are two standing offers for MT and one for Dwlee, and if both accept the offers Mathblade is automatically flipped.

So, my question about his choices was ne asking: Do you think his "carefulness" extends as far as getting himself flipped for fear of being rejected??

OK.. let me pose a broader scope:

Do we think Scum -in general- will try to be early, middle or late to propose? Let's raise the bar even and try to answer once for a widely TR'd scumster, and once for a widely suspected one. All bets are on.

Widely TR scum: As early as possible.

Widely SR scum: More hesitant and calculating. They would probably try to aim for the middle, to give themselves time to get a feel for the general consensus and maybe to consult with scumbuddies in the PT on what the strategy is. But clearly that middle point was missed in this game's particular situation.

What's the town motivation in waiting so long, after most pairs have already been made?

Apathy. Town don't feel as guilty to walk out on the "team" and jump to their own death.

Also, I forgot to include a question about their targets. Would Scum be aiming to pair with widely read Townies or suspected one? OR -maybe- one of their own??

Does Math seem apathetic to you? He's posting, and making effort to appear engaged. But he's not actually engaging.

I think scum would try to get with town in most cases. If they are widely TR scum, then they can form a nice little block. If they are widely suspected town, then at least if they go down they take town with them.

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I think Math was apathetic for a while. Seems like he's just busy now.
