While it was obviously not the case in this game, there's no such thing as too scummy to be scum.
People have different playstyles. Sometimes they'll look mega-town, sometimes they look like the poster boy for scummyness.
The important part is looking past the formulaic "information is good, risks are bad", and trying to figure out
why
those players are doing what they're doing. ![:]](./images/smilies/icon_smiling.png "Cheerful Smile"){kind=icon}
What did they hope to accomplish? Do their actions make sense, given their responses, or is the mouth saying one thing, while the hands do something else?
Yes, there are things that are much more likely to come from scum than they are from town, and vice-versa. Quickhammers, bad claims, rolefishing...
But WIFOM is a thing, and sometimes scum
will
do something bad for their own health, if they think they can confuse everyone in the process, or even come out on top, because "scum wouldn't do that".In post 1013, onion wrote:
Derangement is alive, he's suspicious primarliy because if i were scum i would have killed him long before i killed anyone else other htan maybe equinox. tripod was too scummy to be scum, and derangement is too town to not have been night killed.
The GIF night-kill was unexpected.
The Equinox NK boggled me a lot, and strikes me as something designed to not shake things up too much, more than eliminating bigger threats.
It bothers me a little that you townread equinox that strongly, given the direction he was headed in, particularly as of late day 2.
UT's is the first kill that did not surprise me.
Given your opionion of his play since the beginning, I expected to die before he did, if you're town, but I can understand it if scum were afraid the tracking result would make lynching him too hard.
Unfortunately, there's nothing I can say about the too-town-to-live argument regarding myself.
This nearly happened to me in my last game.
I looked very town, my reads were repeatedly wrong, and I nearly made it into LyLo, where I would probably have been mislynched if I hadn't been killed the night before.
I believe the only reason that this didn't happen back then was because the one surviving scum player was fairly less suspicious-looking than the other two town, and NKing me meant he could take a low-risk victory mislynch.

GC is alive, he's awesome. i really liked bubs, and sns was so terrible that i can't really use his tells to be useful with bubs or GC tells, and GC came in with amazing power, and i really like both him and his slot.
Do you think his case on you was awesome?
Do you also agree with the arguments he presented in the
second
half of day three? Which ones did you find the most convincing?
