Huh? That's weird? S_S never refers to "scum equity" in HDP. I guess that might be because HE'S NOT TRYING TO FIND THE SCUM?

Let's go back to this I think we were onto something here :mrgreen:

Now in #6574 he's going "call it six of one, half a dozen of the other" because he's getting excited because he thinks Shea and Nero are going to create World War 3
Did you read a town game too perchance to compare? He just does that regardless of his alignment is my experience.
I'll read one now if you have one in particular you will recommend. I kind of feel like #6574 pinged you though for a different reason if I understand how you think at all.
I don't think you understand how I think even a little bit given...pretty much every comment you've made about me this game.

And I don't know what you're referring to.

Although I did just go back to glance through S_S's iso in cats vs dogs to try to find examples of the "just my two cents" type thing and I just...It's just ridiculous how different S_S's play is that game to here. Like he's still not forceful and he still isn't someone to throw his vote around and make something happen but there is much more trying to actually give opinions on the general state of the game and where things should be going. And I find that kind of odd given that he said he was particularly demotivated that game due to hating multiball.

Like, this quote, for instance:

In a post using literally no words there is more attempt to actually influence the game based off his opinions than in this one. In his 8th post in the game having replaced in literally the day before. I need to read a scum game too I guess because like, the difference I see in S_S here and in CvD is just...way larger than I remember it being.
Yeah that's interesting, maybe there's something to explore here :mrgreen:

Scum!S_S game (HDP)

He replaces in around page ~45 out of ~300 pages.

IIRC little to attempt to directly influence the game, but I'll let you be the judge :mrgreen:

Apropos of nothing I just went to ausukas wiki and
"Hi I'm Ausuka. I don't play mafia outside of marathons anymore. Because of this there's no reason to list any game data here. If you see me playing mafia, please tell me to stop. I occasionally mod games and post on sitechat."

On no. But I do not want you to stop. You're the only one who thinks I'm town.

Oh yeah, I was looking for bad scum game examples for S_S.

Menalque (high certainty) -> S_S (moderate certainty) -> Dease (low certainty) -> fire (very low certainty)

I decided to put you in my Town reads.

@scamper


It seems likely (high‐moderate certainty) that Town is currently divided between two correct scum wagons and lacking the numbers to move forward with either one. I recall at one time being the loudest Town voice against this pair of wagons, so it seems some consensus has been reached now that Nero and I are also pushing for S_S (and Menalque is there for me too.) The two highest posters in the game are clashing in the thread, and I'm the third highest poster and prone to tilt/tinfoil, so it's probably in Town's best interest if you pushed either wagon through ASAP to avoid letting scum a chance back into the game.

only now, on page 265 of this game, did i realize why ari put firebringer as a "traitor", and why scumclaiming is traitor behaviour

i am very good at this game
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”
