New to MafiaScum and some of your abbreviations, but not exactly new to mafia. Thanks though. This whole "omg he's being so fake" is a bit odd since all I did was question a player as to why they refuse to scumhunt. Did that not set off alarms to you? Especially now that we know he has already done this as scum before? Granted he'd be making a ballsy play since he tried that in a game with Gamma already.In post 49, Ümläüt wrote:I agree Aubrey's entry felt awkward but I'm chalking it up to new-player weirdness.

Heads up I don't scumhunt because it's stupid and leads to basically random lynches. I'm warming to town read into PoE but that could be a symptom of positivity bias that suggests because when I town read someone I am statistically likely to be right, I end up believing my townreads are accurate.
I was just about to be Rade you for RQS because, well, that's still a thing!?In post 53, Gamma Emerald wrote:Okay, I believe it's time to start RQS. I'll be taking three suggested questions this time, so think of something that could help advance the game.

Also, can I call you Gemerald?
I'm not throwing a fit. People said they didn't get why I thought you were scummy, so I explained it. And skold said he'd find scum by town hunting and using poe. Sounds legit to me.

As for the "fluff". It was my first post, and I normally wait until later on the first day before I start pressure voting for activity. Or RVP as you all call it here. As I already said, in time either you will continue to consider me fake, or your mind will change. There isn't much else to say on that matter, especially since your partially throwing a fit over a guy who just made a cordial post before getting serious.
1: Mafia. My wiki page has a list of completed games, and I tend to play better for some reason when scum.In post 53, Gamma Emerald wrote:Okay, I believe it's time to start RQS. I'll be taking three suggested questions this time, so think of something that could help advance the game.

Eh as much as I dislike RQS, I think it's more likely to come from newbtown in this case.
Could you elaborate what you meant by that?In post 55, Gamma Emerald wrote: 3: I think the town has to be really careful, unless I don't get the setup and it selects the same row or column on each, then we just have to deal with two nightkills and less clear potential.
I disagree. Townhunting can be very effective if done right (if you let scum slip into your townbloc, you're not much of a townhunter). And it's especially good in this setup. Why? Cause both anti-town factions will try to get rid of each other first, out of fear for crosskills. Hence, they will scumhunt in a manner resembling town scumhunting which will make them hard to spot from our perspective. Only town has reasons to townhunt here. And PoE becomes amazingly useful after the first scumflip.In post 65, Aristophanes wrote:Town hunting and PoE aren't as effective in multifaction games, as I said above.
Except it's a row or column from each, randomly. I believe we could get two rows, two columns, or a mix, and it states an example on the Wiki with a mafia row and a Werewolf column (or vice versa). So it could be any combination iiuc.In post 70, Gamma Emerald wrote:I mean that if the setup is forced to select the same row or column on both grids, we don't have to worry too much about fakeclaims and such, we only have to deal with more nightkills and the lack of full clears. Basically, the simpler our situation is, the better.
