I think you've asked a number of go-nowhere questions for the sake of appearing active.
idk about marci but I tend to ask seemingly filler question in certain circumstances, like when trying to filter out paranoid thoughts on TRs
I think I've only ever done it a whole bunch as town because as scum I feel like my filter would catch some of it + there's less need to legitimately sort so less need to ask questions that might go nowhere

Okay I caught up. Someone talk me out of the vote I'm gonna make, cause it'll be on scum. You have until the time it takes for me to format the vote. Maybe through a segment of BB too. Ready. Set. Go.

I was confused by this then realized Dancing Puppets hadn't posted yet.

In post 260, Off The Hook wrote:What's suspect about ircher/rh9? I'm more interested in your thoughts there vs. on us because they have the post restriction

~GE
To clarify, both the hydras who have been posting are the ones I've started suspecting. I wasn't counting Dancing Puppets.

I didn't realize ircher/rh9 had a post restriction. I thought they seemed like they are holding info back and spreading their game posts out between here and another thread.
they claimed their post restriction in their first post
they can only use 100 words maximum for D1

~GE
I can argue that this is showing a higher awareness of the gamestate which can be viewed as cautious/scummy.

I can argue that this is an overreaction and not consistent with the scum!gamma games I've played in the past.

Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.

This is probably a common reaction. RIP.

Wait, so having a strong understanding of what's happened so far in the game is SCUMMY to you? lol

Is this a common belief?

Having a good understanding of the game state this early on points to informed knowledge. yes - that's weird.

No.
But there’s a nuance to it, that could be right for certain scum players, along the vein of “player pays more attention to other people’s reads than their own”

Or some such.
