Not going to entertain this with a response. I've cased you with a slip AND by the numbers you are Scum. Nice try though.

Blair's System To Destroy Scum™


1. Identify players who are actively trying to solve the game.

2. Identify players who do not appear to be actively solving the game, or who are actively or passively obstructing others from the same.

3. Vote for the players identified in #2.

4. Thoroughly explain your reasoning to the players you identified in #1, persuading them through wit, humor, and overwhelming charismatic charm to vote for the players identified in #2.

5. March steadfastly toward a town victory, hammering pro-scum and anti-town players with extreme prejudice.

6. Boost Townie morale with witty ripostes and dank memes.

7. Profit!*

* In the event that you have received a scum role pm, promptly forget that you have done so and act accordingly.

Obviously there's room for some nuance in there, but in general? Yes, of course, you can't run a very convincing scum-game otherwise.

There are no truly objective tells, so even when you're doing your very best you're going to hit town sometimes. There's no reason to build fake cases as scum when the real cases are wrong all the time anyway.

(The "need" to develop fake cases and reads is a side effect of hubris - you don't feel like you need this unless you genuinely believe your real reads would reliably cost you the game as scum)

I don't really think many things are actually slips, I just wanted to see if you would pick up on what I said.
