The quote is still appropriate, Wisdom. Kono asked Marq to pick box 10 and he didn't.
Scum probably have some extra mechanic we don't know about yet. Not sure there's any use trying to predict it.
@TSQ: But scum have the same drawbacks as town do, as they give the choice of what box has the killing item to town. Also we can actually analyse the White Elephant phase better. The benefit is huge; if someone after agreeing to the proposal is unwilling to take a box, they're scum and that's the killing box. Alternatively, it gives scum the option of taking the killing box when they would not otherwise do so. In effect it opens up the killing mechanic to EVERYONE, not just non-scum.
Off topic: I like how you always have the off topic stuff first. So basically if 'fucktwat' becomes hugely popular it's going to enter historical context and we'll need to find another word?
Also can I assume 'piece of shit', as an inherently dehumanising phrase, is one you don't support?

Also the fact that lynches are more accurate than vigshots, although vigshots are semiuseful for policying.-

Should get more votes on Marquis. Does he usually act like this, anyone who's played with him before?
Off topic: The main thing about what you've seemed to consider oppressive is the dehumanising bit. "Piece of shit" literally dehumanises someone to a dungpile and is fairly offencive, I think. So unless your idea of what's okay and what's not okay ties very deeply into hipster culture (essentially anything that involves the system is bad and anything else is good), I'm still not seeing the inherent difference here. Does the avoidance of the word but not avoiding the word 'cock' or 'dick' not create another gender difference in that it's "better" to be a penis than a vagina?-

Lastly because there is literally no benefit at all.
This was my theory as well. Given the short turnaround between final box picked and GiF death, Scum probably prime a box. I will not be leaving a box selection to someone else.How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder,
without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better,
and not the world about them?-

...but that's the whole point. The way the system is currently, non-scum will ALWAYS have the killing box. SOME townie is going to die no matter what. All that this whole "I get to figure out the arbitrariness of the boxes" is, is pointless self preservation.
If we pick boxes for each other, we're also picking boxes for scum, which leaves them open to being killed by themselves-

It most definitely is self-preservation. If I'm going to die some horrible, gruesome death like GiF I would much rather have it because I chose that box and not that the box was forced on me.How many people long for that "past, simpler, and better world," I wonder,

So much for the greater good. Guess this is the difference between playing for fun and play to win?-

Scum won't willingly kill themselves. It's my guess that they'd try to weasel out of picking the killbox, at which point we'd all know what's up.-

Why the hell should we wait for the next elephant phase?
Like what does that have to do with anything?

Because he has an item that has to do with white elephant phase.
