So, uh.
I guess the cat's out of the bag.
I'd apologize for being a scumfuck, but given literally everyone alive is one, you have no right to be angry at me.
I mean.
I'm McMenno's REAL partner.
So I knew that Pepto's partner + Titus's partner + Almost50's partner + LUV's partner + us two = 6/7 scum.
But:
-I legit thought Pepto was partnered with dead scum
-I legit thought there was at least one town player alive, or THREE town players alive if Pepto was in fact partnered with dead scum.
For the record, gerry, I was scumreading you the entire game but I wanted you to think you had me pocketed because faking that read was convenient to dodging the nightkill.
Ditto Leonshade. I did admittedly see streaks of town from you but I was outright lying about townreading you.
I have to admit though.
I was taken aback that literally ALL of Majiffy/Dodge/Almost50 were scum. I thought there might be scum in there but I legit didn't think they all were. (In fact I was pretty sure Majiffy was town at the end!)
And similarly, while I had it in mind that there was in fact the
possibility
that one of MariaR/Priscilla was scum. (I mean MariaR was so town she basically had to be scum from what I knew of her.) I'm quite taken aback you BOTH are. The one and only time I ever suspected Priscilla as being scum was when she was so adamant on ending the game and one post she made (I can't remember which) sounded like a scumslip of knowing there were more scum in the game than a town player should have known about. But since I "knew" there had to be one town alive, I completely and entirely discarded the idea because of the two Priscilla was absolutely the last one I'd have picked for scum.
Also Ginngie not to leave you out, I did <3 you but you were pretty blatantly a scumfuck. I wasn't sure PeregrineV was but the more and more he went on the more sure of it I was and you really can't hide being a scumfuck from me. If I were actually town I'd probably have advocated lynching you first, but sentimentality + opportunism/fear of the nightkill = me trying to appease you.
I'd have kept McMenno alive if I'd known we'd been in an all-scum game ever since massive's demise, but I legit thought there had to be town alive--in increasingly diminishing amounts, sure, yeah, as I saw extra colors of scum and more and more serial killers, but up until Kuroi's announcement I still thought there was either one town or three town alive and thus that I needed to play for the long-game, the endgame.
(And just to put it on the record: Yes I am scum. No, my absence from the game at the beginning was
not
strategic. I mean. I told a little white lie when I said I hadn't read the flips. I read the end of day flips, so I knew Bins had been dayvigged by RadiantCowbells; I knew Gamma Emerald had claimed lyncher-scum on massive, had been lynched, and given massive a lyncher-win; I knew momo/Narna were modkilled. Flips are important for me as scum to know about in case I got to inherit the nightkill--but since I never ONCE got it the whole fucking game, it was a moot point. But I digress. That's the one and ONLY thing I lied about. I was not following along with the game. I was absent entirely for real-life reasons and the accusations otherwise are absolutely despicable.)
For the curious: my personal power is day-and-death-related, which is why I theorized that all scum had a day-action and all town had the vengekill. It was insider knowledge of me having a day power + McMenno having a day power + me having seen nothing but day powers in play. (I was actually a little hesitant to post that because I was terrified that would be a tipoff to scum players that I was scum, but I thought it within reason of a town players' ability to deduce, and thus, that I'd be safe.)
Anyway!
I said this in my mafia PT before the flip, but: to be fully honest. In an all-scum game. I don't really want a win? (I mean I obviously don't want to
lose
, but a win just feels WRONG now.) Everyone living is a different alignment, and with everyone living as a different alignment you're forcing them to play kingmaker and KNOW they are playing kingmaker and essentially have them all KNOW that they are effectively playing a popularity contest, most popular person wins.
It'd feel dirty. It'd feel disgusting. It'd feel cheapened and lessened by how I basically won because of all the scum alive I was the one people liked the most. It'd not be on my skill, on my merit as a scum player. It wouldn't be because I outplayed everyone. It'd simply be--and we'd all know it--because I just outcharmed everyone, and then got a little bit lucky at the very end.
When we still thought there was town. (And I'm pretty sure everyone thought there was a town still.) We were playing mafia. I thought there had to be one town alive if not three. We thought there was an uninformed majority (well minority but still functioning the same way as if a majority) which we needed to manipulate, which we needed to control, which we had the need to be the one endgaming. But now we know that's not the case. And so the game's not mafia anymore. In spite of there being no town, it was a game of mafia up until Kuroi made the announcement because there was the
illusion
of there being a need to be secretive. There was the illusion that claiming scum meant you were condemning yourself to death because there was a town that held influence.
That illusion's gone now though.
And because it's gone.
I don't want to win.
(I mean I'd have felt dirty winning a MariaR-Priscilla lylo anyway to the point where if you two had both been town I legit would have considered this option anyway because I just very much sincerely genuinely didn't want to betray you so utterly.)
So when I said yesterday to vote for a tie.
I wasn't really doing so as a joke.
I don't want this to be popularity or luck.
I want those who made it to this point to
all
win.
So:
VOTE: All surviving players tie for a win.
If Kuroi has any shred of decency this should be allowed.
