The eliminated contestant is dragged off in unceremonious fashion. The host waits until they're gone before addressing you,
"Welcome, finalists! You know, being here means you're the best of the best!"
A tear begins to form in her eye.
"We've gotten to know each other so well... and we've loved every minute of it! Isn't that right, audience?"
Cheers and whistles. You hear some of your names being called out from the crowd.
"Hey! Give them a finale to remember, won't you?"
Four pedestals are placed front and center stage, arranged in a circle. You take your spot.
You notice a frilly rope fall from the ceiling and dangle in the middle of the circle, just barely out of reach.- Morning Tweet

Ay, I'm around, I'll be typing up a defense of why I wouldn't do some of things I've done as scum(with the biggest I think being pushing skitter as hard, quickly, and persistently as I did) for a bit.
After a day or so of the Taly-vote getting locked in and Taly still slamming me when I mentioned I was still considering the possibility Ydrasse scum, I got the idea that Taly-scum just still had a sabotage saved and was going to stop the elim on himself at the end of the event. I didn't want to mention it beforehand because I didn't think that GE/The Worst in particular would go through with that, so if it happened I'd have a better chance of getting people to follow through with yeeting Taly even if peta was still insisting on GE by pointing that out and insisting on elims of Taly+me. I thought that peta was overthinking pretty much everything and that Taly still was really the only person who fit with skitter scum as trying to lead the scumteam to victory in an endgame given my other reads.- Gammagooey

Starting with stuff from the Blue PT when I first replaced in - within an hour and a half of joining I'm already voting skitter based on her posting from around pages 20-23, and about 6 hours after joining I point out that skitter flooding out a page of posts to distract from the Dunn wagon seemed to go unnoticed by everyone at the time.
This is the scum PT from my most recent scumgame: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11817596
As you can see from my literal first post in it, I generally prefer being town to scum, but I was happy to get to play as scum with VP Baltar since I hadn't gotten to play with him in ages. I also share my "reads" and make plans with my scumbuddies, and generally try to play pretty cautiously as scum and let town eat themselves whenever possible.
On one hand, yes, I am a decent player and I'm capable of changing up my play based on who I'm playing with, the current game-state, or just for shits and giggles (though the "for shits and giggles" changes I do a lot more often as town than scum).
But if I were scum HERE, where I would have been scum with the player who was the main reason why my team didn't win Team Mafia 2020, AND it seems like everyone in the Blue PT seems to be townreading her (on a brief skim I see townreads from Cakez, peta, and Gemerald, as well as scum-Saber) why on earth would I IMMEDIATELY start bussing her in particular and pointing out something that puts a ton of doubt on her? It would have been far easier and far saner to roll with that, work with skitter to snow everybody, and much more fun to do that than to relentlessly bus her into the ground.
In addition to that, until last event I don't think I seriously pushed a town player once. I've been around long enough to know that it's WEIRD and eye-drawing to do that, and I don't think my scumplay generally stands up well over sustained scrutiny. The only town player who I think you could even argue I pushed for from my replace-in until the Heaven PT is Toog, and even with him I think I made it pretty clear that it was *he can step up and play the game with everyone or he can get thrown in a woodchipper before endgame*, and I was perfectly willing to let him or basically ANYONE else through the crossing in exchange for getting two scum left behind. I don't think I'm fantastic at pushing town as scum, but I can and will sure as hell try when I think it benefits me or my team, and I did nothing of the sort for an enormous swath of the game. I did my best to engage with people who I thought disagreed with my reads like Cakez, with my scumread of Skitter, and with my townreads (during the crossing) of Taly & Ulya to try to get Ulya to see better where I thought Taly was coming from.
And one last thing - I like to try to keep my posting short and succinct so a) I'm actually readable late-game and b) so the game doesn't turn into a miserable slog. And I think if you go through it I think you can tell where I'm coming from just about every post at least through the entire crossing + Heaven & Hell, even if I was kind of an idiot tunneling on Taly afterwards and dealing very poorly with being flooded out of the game with the 30 pages of wallposting+spamposting from last event.- Gammagooey

Also, in regards to my GE read yesterday - every time I went back to consider the possibility of him being scum, this posts in particular made me shrug it off and leave him as town.

So here's the thing: I mentioned you come off like in that True Love game because on a lark I read that one over because I was also curious if you'd ever misread town!me (and you did, in that game) and you had the scum towards the middle of your reads in that game, while consistently push the T/T pairs. You ended up getting miseliminated which took scum!creature out with you. I think things are lining up in such a way that this game has become a near perfect replication of the trajectory of that game. As such, the midzone of your reads list is honestly where I'd want to kill in the most rn. (Cakez, skitts, toog, peta) are the full list of names I sus based on this conclusion, so I'd very much like to vote out peta here. If that is unappealing to everyone else though, I'd like to try something else, though idk how the math for this would even work, where we deliberately split the votes so it's scum's choice who dies, thus allowing NKA to be done.In post 3441, Infinity 324 wrote:In post 3432, Gamma Emerald wrote:How much have your reads changed since this point, if at all? How would you rank the players in an exact order of towniest to scummiest rn?
{gamma}
{taly, ydrasse, ulyana}
{cakez, skitt, toog}
{peta, gooey, dwlee}
{gypyx, saber}
i guess this is it, ordered from t->s within the tiers. toog moved up from good posting in the pt, dwlee moved up after thinking about it more because i think i believe their scumread on me, unwnd i felt was being genuine in ex. his interaction with taly towards the end of the last phase, he was trying to solve even though it looked like he was gonna die.
I don't think I've ever seen a scum player aside from Titus ever try to get away with "let's give the scum an obvious and clear benefit instead of trying to elim scum" like this. From my perspective it's borderline universally angry townies who are so convinced in their worldview that they want to prove it to everyone even when it's clearly and obviously better to try to elim scum in case you're wrong in your reads. I'm going to go over some more posts from GE+Ydrasse but probably not until tonight.In post 3460, Gamma Emerald wrote:
I am firm in my belief infinity is town. If enough people think peta is also town, I'd rather force scum to make the call as that's more informative.In post 3458, ulyana wrote:can we just only try to eliminate mafias like i know we got one in the duel and that was entire goal and what i spent day fighting for, so let's just do that again pushing only for most likely not like, let the scum make choices for information!
----------------------------------------------------
@Ydrasse- Could I get a few thoughts on the game from your perspective? Skipping over last event and going over previous stuff would be fine, maybe what you thought of skitter early game, how scum interacted with you in particular and why you think they treated you the way they did, anything else that you think is weird/insightful that you think has been overlooked so far would all be fine.- petapan

if this is supposed to be a defense against you being informed, it is a poor one.In post 7414, Gammagooey wrote:Starting with stuff from the Blue PT when I first replaced in - within an hour and a half of joining I'm already voting skitter based on her posting from around pages 20-23, and about 6 hours after joining I point out that skitter flooding out a page of posts to distract from the Dunn wagon seemed to go unnoticed by everyone at the time.
i have addressed this. skitter was both feeling the heat in the pink pt and despite her skill does not prefer going to distance/being he carry. she was also "locked in" to a scumread on your slot and has difficulty turning those reads around even when it would be tactically beneficial. if, hypothetically, you got in the game and got told by skitter, "i can't keep doing this, bus me" i'm sure you'd take your marching orders and go with themIn post 7414, Gammagooey wrote:On one hand, yes, I am a decent player and I'm capable of changing up my play based on who I'm playing with, the current game-state, or just for shits and giggles (though the "for shits and giggles" changes I do a lot more often as town than scum).

i mean....you said it yourself. that is not a point in your favor. town tend to be messy and wrong and all over the place.In post 7414, Gammagooey wrote:I also share my "reads" and make plans with my scumbuddies, and generally try to play pretty cautiously as scum and let town eat themselves whenever possible.
okay, great? you can come up with explanations for what you said. none of that, in particular, is clearing for youIn post 7414, Gammagooey wrote:And one last thing - I like to try to keep my posting short and succinct so a) I'm actually readable late-game and b) so the game doesn't turn into a miserable slog.

this is where i'm going to do the cringey thing of putting a highly charged reply in a spoiler tag. i don't recommend clicking this if you're not gammagooey, it's not relevant to you and barely relevant to this game
Spoiler:
Do not bother writing a reply to this. I will not engage on this matter further. I will give you the due courtesy of reading any game relevant content you produce. But that is all I will talk about you with. If you try to re-escalate, I will stop communicating with you.free crypto- petapan

let me be clear what i want from you, gammagooey, since that was a pretty heavy post where the only purpose was making my feelings clear.
what i want from you, right now, is to present a case on who you believe the last member of the mafia faction to be. i am currently of the opinion that it is you, but am willing to respectfully hear out other arguments. we have a short deadline. i want to hear from you within the next 2 day, or i'm going to assume you're tactically stalling. i do not think that is unfair.
i look forward to seeing what you come up with.free crypto- Gammagooey
