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.In post 802, NoPowerOverMe wrote:

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!*

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.In post 806, Nauci wrote:

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.“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation!

Why are NoPowerOverMe, Ready2Rock, and votato wagons?
What made you switch votes, was it because it looks like you two are the only viable wagons right now?
