Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There's a lot of genuine solving from Mastina/Nero/Titus in the hood and i would be really impressed if that was scum theatre. They are genuinely attempting to fullfill town's wincon so i trust them based on that.
fair enough man, but i do think they would be capable of faking that if scum. hypothetically, they would have know the whole purpose of that hood was to look like they were scumhunting (assuming they had a different PT for nefarious shit).
Titus / Mastina especially are nefarious when playing scum. However at this point if they are scum they are just waiting the long game to shoot me and pretend it’s otherwise to save face. So I mean there’s only so much they can do with a constant reminder of a dude who asks questions of them. Remove him and then coast is clear.

Somewhat. They may be scum siding but the more probable is they are 3P.

but Mage and Math to a lesser extent...we are 3 players. in a 23 player large. Even if you want to argue that we are scum there HAS to be other scum b/c 3 is a 23 is unbalanced as fuck.

for me, it's not just that math is paranoid of us but Math actively tried to argue that kings army wasn't scum and that a 3 person group was scum in a 23 player.

Also, Math isn't even trying to hunt for them.
hmmmm i have definitely felt he was genuinely hunting. arguing king's army wasn't scum - i didnt see it, but i couldnt defend it lol

Mainly the setup questions TPG has asked.

It seems way too focused and matches my theory I have.

DS asks questions but they don’t match the same red flags.

Chemist is more a null. He’s not a scum read or townread. The others just pop up to me more as scum.

I agree. That’s why I was labelling it scumsiding. They would just have secret others if scum. Again this is doubtful and goes against the plans of my absolute so I would rather not delve too far.

The other problem is conversely you have 3Ps essentially claiming god powers against a 1 shot alien. It rubs me the wrong way the other way too.

You can’t say one without the other. What’s more realistic is {redacted theory here}.

Nero has seen me at my worst.

From his POV that may be accurate.

I have had some baaaaaaaad games.

I'm mech conftown though :lol: 2 players can definitely confirm i'm town, and for some reason another 3/4 players are also doing so.

So good luck with that! :wink:
why is mm mech conftown i did not read some of this thread
im not sure if we'd been outted yet (so my bad if not, i got over-excited :facepalm: ) but it doesn't matter in the context of the game now. We're part of the mason group, so A50 knows we are town.
Lovely, just lovely.

Of all the cards not to spill you had to do this one.

Like we are so fucked.
haha in my defence, i wasnt exactly in favour of us being outted to the other mason group. shit happens dude - it was pretty fucking obvious from Titus' sudden U-turn on our slot that we were the other mason.

It wasn’t Titus who outed you to me btw.

Masons have this kind of “aura” when they post. It tends to be a bit too friendly in thread.

It’s hard to explain but there’s a vibe.

It’s not a “normally” thing. I am swingy and much better on alt accounts on other websites. (Which I don’t mention because I don’t want the Math taint to spread to those) . I generally am hit or miss.

If I can get a firm foundation of a few correct town reads and a scumread and the right narrative I am gold.

If I get the wrong idea I am stubborn AF.

So Nero could be flashing back to games like Civ. It didn’t raise any pings to me.

See, the way I thought it was all about shelly being "additionally confirmed" (if there's such a thing) by flipping Plus a TOWN. Sometimes I try to think how "newb/naive" scum do. Yours is more like how "seasoned/experienced" scum go about it.

Thanks for the help. Both you AND shelly are off my list for today.
