Also, I’d know what was going on if I was in the scum PT and would just go there for an explanation.
But ahah, that’s just what I want you to think.

But actually.

a lot of players seem to be struggling with this concept:
masons being dead isn't good


they should easily be able to construct an unassailable crumb. like, spell out their name with the last letter of the second word in each post multiple times, or something
By the same token, if Roden is lying then scum being alive is also very much not good.

Masons are hardly game breaking either so to assume they would be insta killed is kind of like, meh?

An unassailable crumb would be difficult to find, no?

yes, but i don't think he's likely to be lying. rose and bernard are exactly the best mason claim possible by flavor, too

OK, if Roden leaves clear crumbs then I guess Mason shouldn't claim then

On a scale of 1 to 10 how mad would you be Nancy if Titus was trying to cover for Dunnstral’s mistake?

Nothing personal, I've been talked down from my tone reads successfully by scum before. My experience is that I don't give my observations of this kind enough weight and I regret it later.

I don’t know whether I should be sad or amused by how little you still know me after all this time. I genuinely want to sort you and now, you look more town again.

But bb is still definitely more suss than Klick. His entire reasoning for voting us is utter bs, which is why he’s still in my PoE.

And you clearly ignored the post where I unvoted you and said I didn’t want to rush anything? Remember? :roll:

It's funny how people are talking about BB or Dunn being scum and I was laughed off the face of the thread for suggesting it earlier in the game.

Well, I gave you my full real reasoning. I’m not worried about being eliminated for awhile if ever. So, you can have it but know that you’re not gunna get brownie points for having a wrong read that went against the grain. You only get that for having a right read that went against the grain.

Already explained that a Mason claim is bad for scum to make here. It’s unlikely to be false.
Dunnstral is probably better than this.
