Wat? Surely they know their own. If there's 2+ scum factions, surely they'd be ok with shooting the other faction too, at least now that the idiocy regarding "we're all townies" is over.

*headtilt* I swear to god, at some point around game start I read some public text by the mod that said to the effect of "there could be multiball and traitors". Which I, personally, interpreted as "there is probably multiball and traitors".

But now I can't for the life of me find it. Does anyone know what I'm referring to, or is this just me being scatterbrained again?



... The point of all this being, assuming that this text actually existed and isn't my imagination, it would be the reason for any scum being cautious about accidentally shooting their own.

the sisters' legacy is one of innovation in times of hardship, and this sort of innovation is key to their survival. one thing is certain: either the Echo Bay Grits company solves their web presence problem, or their company faces extinction -- not literal extinction, of course, because it's not like anything would cause that to happen, right?

living players and unused shots

the following players are still alive: the worst, Taly, Ausuka, Sando, Chickadee, Iconeum, Momrangal, Not_Mafia, Almost50, Davsto, Austerity, Creature, Srceenplay, randomidget, hebichan, Vaxkiller, TheBrie, Lovebird, StefanB, light_ganski, Theta Alpine, katokashi, Archwing, wingedcatgirl, Gammagooey, Bins, BBmolla, ooba

mod notes: prodding living players who haven't posted yet momentarily. also, note that kills performed before a role flip do not succeed regardless of whether the person attempting the kill is alive or not.

Only mention of either we have had. Try your pt.

Um someone quoted it recently for me. Mwasnt it you worst?

Ok people can read into this as deliberately trying to towntell, but go for your life.

So they have traitors, one flipped so that is obvious, so I'll use that as example. My understanding of this is that say there's 4 normal scum and 1 traitor, all 5 know who each other are, they just don't know who the traitor is (except the traitor). If that's the case, why do they have to worry about hitting themselves with shots? They know who is scum with them even if one of them might be a traitor. How can they accidentally hit a scumbuddy?

^ I like that person

Come on, Sando. Do some extra work and actually read!



The traitor does NOT know who the members are, and neither do the members know who the traitor is.

PRICKS (and sometimes WANKERS and PRANKERS) members:
Sando
Taly
the worst
Iconeum
TheBrie
Chickadee
Wingedcatgirl
Theta Alpine
light_gankski

Shooting any of these members will result in getting shot yourself.

We've lost hebichan, no need to shoot them though PRICKS members.

each non-town faction may have one or more traitors, here used to refer to a player who knows what faction they're a member of

but not who else is a member of their faction.

the non-traitor members of the non-town factions will know how many traitors their faction has.

The traitor does NOT know who the members are, and neither do the members know who the traitor is.

Oh right, that makes sense then.

This is still the dumbest argument for scum not shooting.

A50 I reckon you should join PRICKS

A50 is getting vigged tomorrow

I have always been a non-official member
I can't really be "officially" in now because I tool my shot on Oopa already, but I'm supporting it and will follow the rules set by the majority in it.

... Oh! I see the miscommunication.

A "traitor", in mafia games, is a member of the scumteam that is initially not "in the loop" - the traitor doesn't know who their scumbuddies are, nor do the normal scum know who the traitor is.
The fluff idea isn't that they're planning on betraying . They're planning on betraying .


Also, it turns out I was thinking of the queue topic. Kinda wondering how nobody else remembers that, since we all posted in it to join.


pedit: and everything i typed is moot now but whatever

Eager to cast the stone, huh

Lol

Please stop the shitposting, or the stone will be casted against you.

Frickin hell just saw the Srceenplay shot. Was literally about to quote this post and say that shitposting can be read into and I thought Srceen's was towny.

In post 623, Almost50 wrote:Btw, the majority of scum

. This is because they do not want to accidentally shoot one of their own. (Taly's 532 helped a lot, because I never actually read the sign-up thread post. I was invited and gladly accepted).

Makes sense.

What do you think about random's 322 in light of this? Especially since if scum did hang onto their shots they'd probably try to push a narrative of the opposite...

I'm having a very hard time seeing wingedcatgirl as scum... it may just be that I really like her posting style, but in any event I don't want to see her die soon

I'm glad you asked. Actually random joins my scum reads, not just for that post but for his whole ISO (of 3 posts!!). That's not town!random. I don't think.

I am however waiting for Oopa's flip to try and draw some conclusions. Oopa threatened to shoot me but didn't do it himself. That didn't mean much to me until I read the Taly quote from the sign ups, and it hit me that Oopa may have been fishing for his team's traitor, and he thought of the possibility that it might've been me.

So, if Oopa flips scum I might be inclined to recommend shooting in he low posters like randomidget over srceen, because while srceen is still scummy to me I think that random's lurking could be to avoid getting involved in in-depth discussions, while he could very well be following the thread in search for signs of the traitor(s) of his team.

Like, that quote says nothing about the traitor(s) having the NK if their main faction is wiped out. If that's the case then the main scum faction(s) are our priority.
