Scum will be incentivized to send results after their buddy dies. Possibly even before.
I've already explained why I think Burke is town. I don't know about Banakai but I'm not interested in a pressure vote or anything at the moment. Are you trying to direct the lynch towards two players who aren't your scumbuddy?In post 59, TvK wrote:Man, this game is slow. So people who are not voting Burke or Banakai, what reasons do you have to not vote for either of them?
Nothing in this description indicates a competent player.In post 109, beastcharizard wrote:Banakai is a competent player. I faced them in a Donner party and they had quite a bit of posts throughout the game. They were expected to be scum at least half of the game.
They didn't really explain anything about why they were "confused" or anything.

I don't know that I've done anything that should make me look town up to this point. But people get reads for all kinds of reasons. Now it's time for you to work on some scum reads.T S O wrote:Shockwave Rider is Town. Discuss.
RM already explained this. He didn't know what setup he was signing up for because he just inned for the next game available.beastcharizard wrote: Why join a game if you aren't going to take it seriously?
Your sample size is too small. Believe me it happens all the time. I kind of feel Banakai wouldn't be saying this as scum though.Banakai wrote:Just saying, in all my experience (which I guess isn't as much as your guy's) I have never seen scum lurk.
Not saying it's impossible, just highly unlikely.
Just about all of team 9's post 60 gave me gut pings. I would say it's because they feel forced but it's difficult to explain why that is in any detail. I mean they were just giving the most pro-town looking response to every quote.Daniel Brian wrote:80 So Shockwave, youre not going to explain what made you uneasy about 60 and just claim gut? Furthermore, if you think TvK is scum driving attention away from his scum buddy, you kinda have to say why you think TvK and Team 9 are scum together.
Most players don't make those little pro-town asides. That's actually kind of my playstyle but I don't think that kind of play is natural for most players. I think it's something scum would be likely to do to gain towncred.Team 9 wrote:@SR: maybe i'm giving the most pro-town answer because... i'm town? It is true that i am (was) trying a bit harder than usual, though, because i hate slow games. Leading a 3-headed hydra alone during limited access blows.
Bussing Day 1 in this setup is terrible play. Wouldn't expect to see it.In post 214, beastcharizard wrote:I am now think that Burke was bussing Bana.
Sure, but we weren't in a situation where anyone was a lock to be lynched.beastcharizard wrote:When half the people already think your partner is scum and you can get town points why not? Assuming you are bussing the goon of course.
That kind of self-preservation is justifiable. If Bw is town, he knows that he is town. He doesn't know what RM's alignment is. Therefore, if his only choice is between himself getting lynched and RM getting lynched, he should choose RM.bubbajack8 wrote:Either my computer or mafiascum f'ed up and I didn't get to reply to this. Voting the largest wagon simply to "save yourself" is scummy.
TvK is delusional or scum here.In post 247, TvK wrote:This intrigues me. I was kind of expecting RM to walk in, see that there's someone at L-1 and quickhammer for the lulz. From the beginning of the game until now he has changed his vote about 10 times, but he refrains from hammering Burke. Scumteam Burke-RM is very possible.In post 246, RationalMadman wrote:why are people saving me when I am a werewolf?
Deadline is pretty close at this point and I don't know that anyone else is likely to get enough support.In post 251, bubbajack8 wrote: P:edit; why can't he choose anybody else and present a case.
First of all having both members of a team as the top wagons day 1 is implausible, as is the idea that we can guess scumteams this early. Also assuming RM is playing to any kind of win condition is a mistake. I may be kind of biased here though because I'm pretty sure Burke is town.In post 252, erneiz_hyde wrote:Can you explain why? I kind of expected the same thing as him.In post 250, Shockwave Rider wrote: TvK is delusional or scum here.
Some players helpfully gave him that idea.In post 270, Jordan_Downey wrote:If anyone is at all surprised that RM hammered, they need to read the game more closely. I'm actually surprised he didn't hammer earlier. Given that this is a setup where claims are useless, I am less than bothered that he did.
I've been under the assumption that Burke is town for quite a while so I'd have to read through the game again to see who scum Burke might implicateIn post 273, bubbajack8 wrote:@Shock: Do you think a BW scum flip results in a TvK lynch? Or are you with the other idea that it's a bubba lynch? (which I still don't get.)
