Mini 886 - Popcorn Mafia - Game over!

[DrippingGoofball]

Hi all I'm here to crack the game and find you some scum. From now until Valentine's Day at least.

<3

[DrippingGoofball]

Oh Krap, I went looking for voting records to find you the scum and find out we have unusual mechanics here?

Oi

[DrippingGoofball]

I just read the rules and you can't measure my disappointment at finding that I don't have a gun.

[DrippingGoofball]

Alright, here to read. I understand that one of the players below is scum. I'll read each in iso.

Yosarian2
HowardRoark (Replaced Vaya on Day 1)
Maemuki (Replaced Slicey on Day 2)
ortolan
LlamaFluff (Replaced Xylthixlm on Day 6)

[DrippingGoofball]

Actally, 2 scum; it said in the rules that we started with 4.

I'd say it's like shooting fish in a barrel then, except that on the page I'm on, I would have totally blasted Vala Mal Doran and Bogre into the stratosphere. I hope my scumdar improves.

[DrippingGoofball]

Oh, that explains Vala Mal Doran's scummy questions... never mind.

[DrippingGoofball]

• Yosarian2 is really sneaky. I think I've got a trick for reading him, but I never manage to actually get him lynched.
  
• Vaya is... well, let's just say Vaya is better at convincingly faking scum as town.
  
• Vala Mal Doran is confirmed town, and therefore will be extremely convincing if she's actually scum
  
• DragonsofSummer I can't say much about; need to play with him more, or maybe he just isn't very memorable.
  
• Slicey is cool. Probably average difficulty at reading.
  
• ortolan is about average.
  
• rite I know nothing about.
  
• Xylthixlm is totally obvious as scum if you know what to look for, and really sneaky if you don't.
  
• DraketheFake... don't know.
  
• Sarag... don't know.
  
• Zakeri is average, a little bit hard to read iirc.
  
• Bogre... see DragonsofSummer.

Overall Yos2 is most convincing as scum by far. Some people would put me as second. There's nobody in this group who I know as really really easy to read, though.

The above strikes me as extremely scummy; Xyl is basically saying that no one is easy to read, or is an unknowable quantity. I can see him doing that as scum. He has to cover his keister ahead of time for al lthe townies he's going to want to lynch/shoot.

After covering his own keister, Xyl starts pushing for Bogre's lynch in an atrocious way: "Bogre: crazy or scum? Tonight at 11" and many, many more like it.

Ortolan's reactions to Xyl's scumminess is total town.

I've played with Xyl frequently and he's much more obtuse than usual. Maybe that's his scum meta. I disagree with ortolan here. The thing about Xyl's style is that it's probably really easy, as scum, to imitate his own style as town. His keister-covering pretending all the players are hard to read, while jumping on Bogre with all the certainty of a pit bull having found ham, now that a mistake that he made; AS SCUM.

I'm on page 10; I jumped to see why Xyl wanted to be replaced, and it turns out, Xyl just flaked off. Llamafluff's entrance is less than spectacular. Looks like someone that picked up a scum PM and is intimidated.

Xyl's player slot is almost certainly scum. But I may completely change my mind after I read the rest of the game - later.

[DrippingGoofball]

I'll be out all day, I will read the next 20 pages tonight.

[DrippingGoofball]

I was Xyl's scumbuddy in that game, if memory serves (and it often fails me).

[DrippingGoofball]

Gimme the gun

GIMME GIMME GIMME

I will annihilate the scum before they have time to scurry into the darkness

[DrippingGoofball]

Then we lost

[DrippingGoofball]

Who should I kill?

[DrippingGoofball]

Hey I spotted the mod reading the thread last night, where's my rifle???

[DrippingGoofball]

Hey I spotted the mod reading the thread last night, where's my rifle???

You're going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

You're dead... I'm just waiting for the rigor mortis to time out.

[DrippingGoofball]

OK I give HowardRoark 3 days to convince me he's town. If he fails, I blow up his brains. How's that for a plan?

[DrippingGoofball]

HackerHuck, you rat fink...
