They had a leader in me.

The leader was an idiot.
ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure. I will never recover. -- Zachstralkita about Mini 1841

Cerb do you really think that you're a better judge of what good scum play is than I am?

It's a really simple question and I don't want any narrative spinning in the answer. Yes or no.

^Yep. Frankly, it's an even better read than the Star Wars one. Also much much much longer. 64 pages total length, to be more specific.

Not often you get a scum PT that long, but then again it's not often you have a fucking 749-page game. :P

RC you would have been lynch if there were any good town besides Dave and Creature.
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.

If you mod a game like this make a scum-only mechanic called Raze that allows you to destroy rather than build a wonder. Resets your priority.

What do you mean resets your priority? Like, sends it to the bottom of the list?

Nero I intentionally played scummier than I had to because I wanted people to push RC/nancy and RC/Leon narratives. I burned the shit out of my towncred to get you lynched since my town weren't doing much.

Like no this win wasn't particularly impressive but that doesn't mean my plays were anything besides optimal.

It's the exact same as building except rather than building you destroy it.

Incidentally, I was wrong.
I totally thought this game would be at least 750 pages. I was hoping for sub-800, but I thought we'd definitely go above that mark. (To be fair we would have if we decided to slow-roll, but all of the scum online unanimously wanted the game to just fucking be over so we orchestrated the quick-hammer.)

Yeah just imagine how long this woulda been if it ended in a 3p lylo. Over 1000, possibly.

I think your play was adequate. I just think in a different playerlist you'd get lynched.

You are talking to someone who went an entire year without losing a scum game in 2015 and who has won all of their scum games this year excluding the one they were crosskilled.

You really, really, really, really, really are suffering from the dunning-kreuger effect; you aren't qualified to judge the quality of my play but think you are because you don't understand how ahead of you I am.
