I wasn't asking you!

But, I'll answer anyway.

The clincher IMO is this snippet about dopog

In post 51, mastin2 wrote:Because by numbers alone, he's likely to be town. Because by the players in this game, he's likely to end up mislynched because he's not as intertwined. Because of my gut. And most importantly of all...because I said so.

The town motivation for posting this in response to Aegor's RVS vote saying he was pushing a mislynch is that it's true, and saying so it partially takes a mislynch off the table, or at least raises the bar on potentially scummy behavior needed for mastin to later push a mislynch.

Ah, but what if mastin and dopog are scumbuddies? Then, she's left a huge honking association in one of her first posts of the game. Which I can see scum-mastin doing because the inclination is to think why would she even go there if they're scumbuddies. But, that's for way past page 6 and if I see a lot of other signposts pointing in the scum direction.

Beyond the clincher, she's playing to draw a lot of attention for doing stuff she hasn't done in recent memory. And there are players in this game who will scrutinize her every post. It would be a lot easier as scum-mastin to stay within her recent town-envelope where doing so doesn't lead to stuff that is counter to a scum wincon.

He OMGUSed mastin with only 3 voets on him and still in RVS. That seems like scum over-reacting.

I think you're too late on that one.

In post 80, BBmolla wrote:Not you, I just can't lynch all these people claiming scum and there is actually town amongst them and that is really depressing

How do you know there's town among them? Which of them do you think it is?

In post 53, mastin2 wrote:This is a legitimate scumclaim, rather than Aegor's faked scumclaim, because it's taking the fun but instead of running with it (voting Aegor), he takes this approach, to avoid drawing attention to himself. Especially since Aegor (having self-voted first) would take the brunt of the blow. It's scum trying to blend in during the RVS, while also trying to avoid becoming part of something they'd rather avoid. (For instance, if Aegor got wagoned to, say, L-1, it'd be something a scum-Rubicon would want to be off of like the plague.)

You make good points and I like the cut of your jib.

In post 55, SweatingChessball3 wrote:Rubicon is town. Thanks, mastin.

I can't put my finger on it but I get the strong impression DGB is town.

In post 99, Nero Cain wrote:Mastin is scum so you come in and try to discredit me by calling me scum, you are a totes Mastin buddy

You're probably not serious but I could see a mastin2 and BBmolla as both scum at this point on the grounds that they were both being weirdly serious in RVS: mastin2 for example, "I was the third-to-last to confirm; does that make me scum, too?" and his thing about me. BBmolla making a big deal about policy lynching people for claiming scum, exaggerated irritation with it, etc.

VOTE: mastin2

This post is a scum-claim.

In post 139, GuyInFreezer wrote:How does town mastin looks like?

...well...if I think I have some manner of spotting town vs. scum mastin, and I say I don't have a clear look on the question yet and intend to let it simmer until I do, you asking me to specifically explain the tell now likely defeats my ability to use it to catch mastin due to increasing mastin's ability to try to counterplay to the tell I am using.

I don't really give a hang about secret tells and would be more than willing to explain the tell if I got a scum read on mastin off it - but can you explain to me why I should tell it to you now?

Hi @pereginev happy scumday kinda: what was the point of #123?

Rubicon is a bit what the heck but we're not giving him outs because of the "why would scum do that?" sentiment.

Coolies

I fear I am missing out on something since I don't get the Rubicon wagon. On one hand 108 does sound kind of stiff but on the other, I wouldn't expect scum to get jumpy so soon on an RVS wagon and OMGUS as a result (as was suggested) >>

1. A playstyle change is as helpful to a scum wincon as a town wincon. Also, I don't personally think there has been much of a change.

2. Your other point is an extremely mild town defense equates to Mastin being town...I would personally submit there's probably multiple scumMastin games available including soft defense of lynch bait. Do you disagree?

Because based on my last 2 games with you both, you probably won't be around tomorrow.

If you somehow are, we may revisit this.

Shouldn't you be doing the opposite of voting them them?

It just seems like you've lost your mind. I mean why are you helping them to not be here tomorrow?

In terms of the bones, not much of a change at all.

I haven't played that much with scum-Mastin, and in both cases he pinged for me quite early in the game. I've spent several games squinting at town-mastin and wondering, though. I feel like some of his town play is coming into better focus in our recent games.

He probably does soft-defend lynch bait, though. It's an easy enough scum tactic. I didn't think this defense was all that soft, and it was really, really early.

Mastin says I'm an a-hole. And I'm not feeling very confident or aggressive right now.
