Here's the scum QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/Gegn5CJrtVM3

Warning: Night 2 is full of really bad haiku.

Guyett, I think you suffer from the opposite town malady from mine. I can be slow to a fault in deciding where I want my vote, and L-2/L-1 wagons make me want to go into overtime rounds of dithering. I don't have this problem playing in plurality lynch settings. After 9 months of playing majority lynch games, you'd think I'd be more adapted.

tbh, any scum team would have had to kill you guys. It was more because of your neverlynch group than because you were onto Cabd.

I claimed that I used it on night 1, though. Not night 2.

IMO I wasn't treating you like conftown at the start of day 2 which could have weakened the claim, I guess. But, I've always been pretty subtle about crumbing results because where I learned to play mafia there are players who had mad skills at spotting PRs. I try to make my results obvious after I claim or flip, not right off the bat. If I had hidden behind you, I would probably have been slightly more blatant about townreading you from the start simply because I don't trust MS players to spot the kinds of crumbing I've done in the past.

I'm pretty sure I know why Nacho pegged Cabd. His day 1 play was very reminiscent of the Perpetual Mylo game where Cabd was scum. I doubt there was anything that either Cabd or I could have done to shake that read.

Bert did great. We thought that even if morph was lynched today he'd still win this.

Also, sharing a scum QT with Bert was lots of fun. Especially the haiku.

I didn't think you played badly in this game. You shouldn't have been mislynched so quickly (probably not at all) after your claim. In micro games, the ratio of scum to town climbs very quickly and all of town has to play well for town to win. There's not much room for slacking or anti-town behaviors. I like 9 player games a lot at MS, though I've never cared for them in other environments.

Thanks for the game, GiF! I was intrigued by the flavor when I read about it in the Queue thread, and the game did not disappoint!

Also, I forgot to mention this early, but the main thing that pinged me about Fferyl was his (her?) overeagerness to get cleared.

When we decided to fake claim hider, Cabd asked GiF for a fake claim card. It varies by moderator, but I've found that in many themed games mods will craft a card based on what the scum player requests as a fake claim. Other mods leave scum to their own devices.

That may be a good ping. I dunno. When I out as a PR for real, I do so with the expectation that I'll be believed, because I have confidence that my play will have been consistent with that role, though hopefully not obvious. In fact, hopefully I've been giving off vanilla town vibes when I'm a town PR. When I fake claim, especially if I didn't set out early with the intention of making that specific claim, I worry that my early play won't be consistent with the claim. Cabd picked this fake claim, and I felt pretty ok with it in terms of how I played on day 2. But, I worried that there would be inconsistencies.
