Any plans to remedy that in the near future?

Feels like scum doubling down on what other people have already said to try and excuse their behavior. Now that Actor and others have openly called him newbtown, he's free to dumbtell as much as he wants. What would normally be scummy (not having any scum reads on page 20) is now pre-labeled noob behavior.

More people should be voting ferret right now. He admitted he's been scummy in #477. The only counterargument is "he's new." I don't think experience level is relevant to alignment, and even if it were, I think newbtown would at least make an effort to improve their play, rather than continuing to be so blatantly scummy.

What of Ferret's post are blatantly scummy? I don't see it.

I agree on goat... but he falls in the same folder as Jebus. The absolute best read anyone can have on Jebus is null.

I sudgest that we focus our efforts on the same target, lets start with Jebus?

I still feel iffy about ferret but I’m willing to let him slide today because I like Malcolm’s post about his newbie confidence. I’m cool with pressuring Jebus.

I just derped around and accidentally clicked RavenPaw's ISO button, and she has vote/unvote FOUR TIMES. I think that alone is enough of a reason to vote for her.

UNVOTE
VOTE: RAVENPAW

I think ferret is town. The way the he holds such conviction in such ridiculous things seems to be coming from an independent thought process. He's pretty fearless for a newbie, which is pretty hard to mimic as scum without prior experience.

This is a good observation, and I appreciate the psychological approach taken with it.

1: The point of me keeping it quiet is so I can bait people pushing for an easy lynch. Then I can spring the trap by quoting that post. Also, I would be acting like an easy target, if you didn't constantly bring it up!

Ok, I’m not following your thought processes at all here Krabs. So you are saying that you are acting like an easy target? And can you clarify why it must be your wagon pushed to find scum? Also, I mentioned the words easy target once and that was in a response to your use of it…so how is that constantly?

2: I didn't really view it as condescending at the time because RatedR was a town read of mine.

So now you’re saying that being condescending is only something scum would do?

Second Point: It's turning more into a mixed bag of play, instead of pure-scum play.

Ok, and how does this affect your current read on me?

In post 450, Krab Bucket wrote:Personally, my 4 targets of the day would be Ravenpaw (reasons listed above), Doctor whatever (pathetic contributions, from a hydra that's disgraceful), Amethyst (hasn't been scumhunting, and then calls me opportunistic without expanding on it at all), and Nero Cain (The meta comment from Monkey was really interesting, and Nero's reasoning for jumping on the Skull wagon was poor)

*Looks above* I don’t the reasons, Krabs, can you outline them for me please?
And beyond Nero’s skull vote, what do you think of his other play?

In post 474, ferretlover wrote:Well, I just C+F'd ('cause I have a life and can't read through all of the posts right now) the last 10 pages, and didn't see any questions pertaining to me. Could someone just have some questions that you want me to answer?

You missed my question about who your 3 scumspects were but seeing as you’ve now said no-one I guess it doesn’t matter. Also you don’t care to respond to my case on you?

In post 477, ferretlover wrote:I don't understand what Krabs is doing wrong. He's not lurking, being an arsehole, or any of that crap. He seems to be legitimately trying to help.

Scum can be active and not be a***holes too ftr.

I don't know if "hesitation" is the right word. I only have one vote, so I can't very well vote for all four of you at once, can I?

Yes, however the reasons you had listed it felt like your justification was stronger to vote for me, especially when you’d question your Nero tell by saying that town can also do that. Plus you haven’t been talking with Nero much at all, but you still have your vote on him, so why aren’t you pushing his wagon?

What do you think of AA, ferret?

@Nero- Goat’s most recent post read as pretty genuine to me, what do you think?
Jebus still hasn’t done anything so I’m with Sven that we should try and get some action out of this slot.

So I’ll do this for now:

In post 503, Amethyst Actor wrote:What of Ferret's post are blatantly scummy? I don't see it.

#164 - Votes Ravenpaw for voting/unvoting 4 times when he had done so three times himself. Tries to justify it in #178 by saying that he forgot to include a word that wouldn't make sense in the original context.

#496 is the one I was referring to in particular, and I wrote everything I had to say about it in the post that you just quoted so I'm not really sure what more you're looking for.

Well, I'm the only one voting for Nero at the moment, so it's not much of a wagon.

I've got my eye on someone else, but I want to confirm something first before I switch my vote.

Mainly, all the points about Jebus lurking and not posting could be said for me as well. My first impression is that Jebus already had some heat so it is easier to go that route for the mislynch? And why lynch lurkers, someone else just said it but it really has correlation to someones alignment. Also seems a bit ironic that you are saying that lurkers should be lynched and here you are one of the most active players as late.

And to whomever was asking why I brought up Amethyst's meta, basically the past games I had played with them popped into my head as I was reading their post. Since I thought I had a good read on them I figured a stream of consciousness post was good to post, almost a form of note taking if you will.

Dango out.

I dont understand your problem.

I have stated that my goal is not to lynch jebus, i am just willing to unless he gets me what I want. I have stated this alot and I dont understand why people keep bringing it up.

Nothing is special about Jebus, I just happened to notice him first. I will come for you aswell if you keep slacking. This was also alot of repeat questions, and I dont like to repeat myself as I would rather focus on gettting reads.

I am on phone at work break so no iso until i get off desperado, but i got to say that i like the overall flow of ferrets recent posts.

C nail or whatever is really scummy
Gcbc is the most scummy poster

No reasonings until later, just wanted to put this out there

GCBC asks where to put vote <--- bad in itself

GCBC iso´s them both in 4 minutes
GCBC vote nero for having bad reads

everyone is like "yo, wtf?"

GCBC votes ferret and claims that nero has earned his vote


So... GCBC went from thinking that ferret was a bad vote to a good vote in like... 20 minutes?
He also doesnt specify how nero earned his vote.


Man thats alot of shit.

so its shit to scumhunt?

are you actually surprised that I wasn't invested in my unexplained vote on nero?

How is this scumhunting? You stated that ferret was a bad vote after a four minute read, then you voted nero, then you followed neros advice anyway and voted ferret. So you went from having suspicions on nero to trusting him with your vote in a matter of minutes and you didnt explain how it happened.

In post 488, Amethyst Actor wrote:GOOD GOD THAT RESPONSE FROM SVEN. Please be town, if you are scum again I will cry

I dont know what this is but its not a good or constructive post, which was what I asked for.

Your bar is higher than others for a reason, rise to the challange.

In post 392, Svenskt Stål wrote:Skull, I have completely ignored you and your wagon this game, if I were to do some ISOing on you and maybee pull up some of your past games what should I be looking for in your play that sudgests that you are town this game?

Well, I don't have much of a meta to speak of. This is only my second game on Mafiascum, and I would not recommend looking up my first game since my play was pretty horrendous there (just ask Nacho).

I've played a few games before coming to this site, though. I've only been Scum twice before, and in both games, I was really paranoid and defensive the entire time because I was so afraid of being caught. If you see me being unreasonably defensive about anything, call me out on it. Aside from that, just see if you notice me acting like I know more than I'm saying. I try to be as transparent as possible because I have a terrible poker face, so if it looks like I know something but I'm keeping it to myself, call me out on that too.

Is that enough to get started?

Yes. Nice post, will keep this in mind. Exactly what I was looking for.

You will never reach end game with this kind of input. Food for thought.

If you read the game you're referring to, it's pretty damned evident I was phone posting and trying to prevent the town from doing something abysmally stupid.

For those who have commented on my slacking, I do that a lot on D1. The manic and outrageous finger-pointing and stick-poking wears on me, so, admittedly...I let others do it. I like to have fun on D1. I said I will analyze and post tomorrow. And I will.

FWIW, my early read on Nero is town.

My early read on GCBC is scum.

Thank you, and I agree with your reads. I am not talking about my level of obsession but like, a few posts of reason and thoughts per real day.

I like this post but you got to give us more man... If time is a problem then you could try to focus on only one person, as in read only his posts and post your thoughts on him.

Ravenpaw has been playing better lately so I am going to go back to my original vote.

If I assumed that I could be able to shoot , I would shoot myself. I haven't been helpful very much and need to be more actively scumhunting. If I couldn't shoot myself then I would have No Action.

This is assuming that the vigilante wouldn't be killed in this process, i.e. I either wasn't the vigilante or the role passed to someone else.

Ooo.. I know i am behind, didn't realize i am behind like two days..
now.. will catch up today............

Yah. Crazy work week.

I wanted to do a WWE-style dramatic entrance, anyway. You know, where my theme music blares while Nero is pontificating or something.

Hmm...Not happy that Ferret still ignores me.

From now on I'm gonna do what Sven does and post my questions/replies in a separate post each so hopefully people will stop ignoring them.

And something I forgot to ask about before that someone brought up, what is multiball?

I think it refers to game setups where there are other factions then just town/scum. Like SK, neutrals, seperate scum factions.
