I've been keeping up reading through the day but suck at scum hunting which is why I'm here. I'm not used to having no claims at all D1 and not knowing individual meta play. I'm floundering but learning. :eek:

Rereading yet again and I found that Koba is an entertaining turd head who is more than likely too ballsy to be scum.

Yeezys - buddied up with Koba and Koba hasn't shanked them just yet. Why does this make me feel better? Theories abound! Could go either way.

Val - I just want to give them an ice cream cone but someone will just come and smack it out of their hand. Easy target to pressure but their responses don't read as scummy to me.

Kenny's - posts are brief but thought out. I like their posts and not joining the BW by soft pressuring outside of the box.

FloatingMay - I keep feeling is too nice for playing in a mafia game. This is what I meant by asking Kenny if he was seriously SRing them. Their play if scum would be diabolical. Maybe I'm just used to reactive players not making sense. sounded like trying to catch dust moats. I tend to overthink though and this could be them trying to figure things out with very little to work with at this stage. Down at the bottom of nul for me.

Fixer - I don't know why I SR them because I have no actual examples to site but I am.

T3 - Null but come at me, guy! :twisted:

Andres - Skating null. How do you feel about your role?

Is this really how you think a mafia game should be played? Maybe it's all fun and games for a little while, but we are barely 36 hours away from deadline at this point and to my mind realisitically nobody can be happy with this game state, unless you are scum.

When I saw MBots' post, I was hoping we might finally have something to work with, but on closer reading there is barely anything of substance there, and frankly, who can blame her? I'm in much the same position.

I thought that maybe I might make some progress if I could figure out who is driving this, and who is simply following along, but to be fair, I think scum would be more than happy to join along if its town in the driving seat, or else just sit back and watch; so we have - literally nothing.

Thanks for that. You know who I am refering to. If you aren't sitting on red role PMs, and I think one or both you have to be at this point to let it go on this far, then you might as well have been.

Exactly my point. Any other game, I would be looking at that and wondering why everything was so shallow, but the big realisation is that that's about as good as you could possibly have come up with.

I'm not sure whether scum are engineering this situation, or just taking advantage of it, but it seems like the best place to start to me.

Neither T3, Koba nor Yeezys are 'obvtown' and I'm not going to be convinced they are town while they form a little triangle and try and hand wave wlthe reads away with 'it's obvious'.

Wow, T3, what an insightful and useful post!

Of course it's completely bullshit, much like the rest of the reads that have been given in the same manner, like yours. That was the entire point I was making.

Searching for a replacement for floatingmay.

Deadline is paused at 1 day 9 hours. When a replacement is found, I'll add some time to the deadline.

Not all Roman roads were for government or army needs. Some roads, called viae vicinales (branch roads) connected villages to one another. Networks of viae vicinales interconnected, and also connected to viae consulares.
