This isn't really the kinda posting I was expecting on the weekend from White knight hero Jjh927.

Regarding the DDL "everyone thinks he's scum therefore the scum team does too"

Is a little difficult for me.

On the one hand they lost gamma which might make them hesitate to bus again (the scum team may suck) or at least no argue alternatives.
On the otherhand, Gamma. Was fairly close to a consensus kill in the thread.

Nothing.

Scum-jjh used to be lurker-jjh, BUT, that meta is thoroughly obsolete, as not only,
1: has scum-jjh proven he can and will be a not-lurker, but also,
2: town-jjh has repeatedly time and time again demonstrated that he can and will be a lurker.

So jjh being a lurker here? By play is completely and utterly dead-null.

In terms of contributions for however sparse they may be though?

Still town, because:

Given scum had a 1x alien, I liked this take on things even if the player he was using the logic on was town. (Basically, a good take.)

Are these strong reasons to townread jjh off of play?

Oh hell no, of course they're not. They're borderline-rvs-levels of "town indicators, but weak town indicators", because jjh hasn't given a lot.
But given the mechanical reasons are fairly strong...
So the TLDR is you’re doing what you did with April.

The specific thing I asked you not to do.

It’s like iioa wins with your hood.

I can and have, fairly successfully I might add; I've been one of the better players at doing so. :P

That being said, I'll admit/confess; my efforts here this game are less successful than in prior games because I can only guess, I can only assume, what schadd_ thought of the six nontown protowns. It's an admittedly huge variable in the setup because it's hard to gauge what schadd_ thought of our groups in terms of setup balance.

The heavy presence of third party throws off the ease of interpreting simple town/scum outguessing of the mod. :P

Please, don't. We're on to something here, and you know it. Don't engage in "side-talk" even though I sense jjh's intentions are well and sincere.

And NOW -of all times- everybody goes SILENT! :facepalm:

I mean, just because it's MU shot doesn't mean you can't evaluate the claim you've just witnessed presented! ALL OF YOU.

@Bell: Why did you go silent on this matter??
@jjh: What do you think of that claim?
@Mathblade: Any comments regarding this?
@S_S: You're our resident mechanical expert, and your experience is well needed.

I'm about as qualified to comment on game balance as a rubber duck.

I read it, but I just plain didn't know what to say.

I already asked a question to Chemist.

To give my opinion spoils that question. I generally like to know the why behind the what. Scum are good at faking what’s but not why’s.

@Bell: I am not asking you to so a whole setup spec. I am asking if you believe that claim or if you see anything wrong with it.

I guess since you brought up setup spec I think this has to be looked at very differently for balance.

Using traditional methods imho fails. This is not in regards to any particular claim this is in regards to overall and my theory.

In post 4664, superbowl9 wrote:What reason do you have to believe the ungated ascetic claim??
Because,
1: ascetic is a passive role, not an activated role, therefore, is not a role that schadd_'s likely to tack on modifiers for,
2: ascetic is a bad role to put modifiers like x-shot on because with it as a passive action, handling how players target you is rather awkward,
3: ascetic is one of schadd_'s favorite roles to put into games as either alignment; schadd_ almost always has an ascetic in his games. Like, 80+% of schadd_ games have an ascetic in them. These ascetic roles are never gated.

So the ungated ascetic claim is 100% truthful; the only question is whether the role is town or scum and I believe both from play and setup spec that it's more likely to be a town role.

if I thought something was especially off I would have said something anyway.
it's a little odd that they half claimed out of nowhere? I'm not sure. We have a tracker and motion detector flipped. S_S thinks the mass investigator is some kind of scum aligned role? So half assed investigators part tres might make sense? It doesn't seem like a very good fake claim to me.

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.

But if Chemists claim ...(must not spoil active question)

You’re failing to see the point. I dunno if it’s intentional or not.

She said by play (no qualifiers null)
Then she said by play (no qualifiers) town.

There is something up with that.
