you know i think SS has rolled scum in like the last 4 games he's been in that i modded
he replaced into scum in newsroom
he was scum in baton pass
he was scum in city that never sleeps
and he's scum again here
i can't seem to give him a break!

Maybe I should go with plan B of imitating Titus. Less fun but could work.

My early theory is that Kim and Komainu are the same person. If I'm wrong, I do think Kim is suspicious.
My reasoning:
Look at this post from Kim:
In post 15, Kim Mask wrote:So how do we figure out who's scum? Do we just make conversation and see who sounds scummy? Idk how this really works
Anyone here who wants to talk about our avatars? Kay has the best one imo. I realize that could just be me buddying my other account but it's not I swear
She starts off with proper capitalization on the first letter in each sentence. Now, look at the rest of her posts, she quickly devolves into lower case only, which I assume is not natural for her.
She could simply be trying to maintain her mask, but she could also be trying to distance her two personas.
Look at the Kim and Komainu interactions - I get the inkling that someone is trying
too
hard to make two accounts seem unaligned right out of the gate. Keep the grammar from post 15 in mind.
woah

i knew those two names were really similar and would probably confuse me at least once

there's one correct read. i wonder if it'll translate into being able to solve the game? i guess it depends on how well SS can hide komainu being him – after all, i think his plan was to play Kay just like himself anyways, so this is basically all according to plan for him.

haha, this is such a weird scenario because SS doesn't have the title thread ego'd.
arguably this is game-breaking, arguably this is exactly the sort of shenanigans that i was inviting with this game. either way, i'm still loving watching this game so far, and i hope it's just as interesting for the players.

half of the reason the alt-kill mechanic even exists is to sort of, if not remove, at least mitigate the game-breaking factor of alt-slips. (the other half just being that i find figuring out who people are interesting and so thought it would be an interesting mechanic)
sure, it can create weird and i guess stupid situations with someone who slips and doesn't die. i wouldn't say that it's
too
terrible, though?

i considered this, as well. the advantages are obvious, although i did think that a public thread would be better for the sake of anyone who cared to spectate.
in retrospect, perhaps that's the biggest mistake about this setup – i suppose it doesn't really make sense to give theoretical spectators (of which there are likely few) more weight than the players themselves, especially when the players are already making such a big commitment by joining the game in the first place. if this game does get a sequel / another run, i think that it probably makes sense to go with it being played in a PT.

yeah that doesnt seem necessary. if he wants to he can just wait 24hr, would have the same effect pretty much. lol.

thats clever - another dynamic that sort of weakens the alt guess. i think because of the == thing i would id that person as royally not skitter

-redact-
i wonder if he got kerset by posting time similarity, i feel like karma's posting so far has been fairly neutral and uncharacteristic, but perhaps i'm just not familiar enough with kerset to be able to place it.

i think it's sort of interesting how people seem to fall into the same sort of biases this game as they do in regular games. for instance, suspecting kuzco as the least "charismatic" (or most lynchbait) player because his posts / logic tend to be somewhat weird. it's justified as "he has an unnatural vibe like a doppelganger", but i would imagine that if scum are capable of presenting themselves normally that they could do the same thing for their other account.
granted, kuzco only has 8 posts, but i like to think that i would actually take being kind of weird as a towntell in this game, because i think it's difficult to naturally fake, i think that someone who posts like that normally might have trouble faking an alternate identity, and i think that even
if
scum could convincingly fake that kind of posting, they probably wouldn't choose to.
