Scum Thread Mario Kart: Double Dash |Mafia| Attack of the Clones

[Natiko]

Welcome to Mario Kart: Double Dash! All rules from the main thread apply here as well. You may share your role PMs though. Also, just to avoid someone being caught out on something dumb, the Kart chats are formatted as "Spongebob / Patrick Kart" to give an example.

Oh, and your fake claims are as follows:
Donkey Kong / Diddy Kong
Dry Bones / Honey Queen
Toad / Toadette

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Well well well, back to back scum games

 

[Natiko]

Added your fake claims.

 

[Android Sophia]

I call dibs on Toad/Toadette for fake claims.

We're Crash and Coco, and we're roleblockers. Can target a pair once a night and role block them. No apparent restrictions.

 

[Android Sophia]

Oh crap, this has an OLD avatar here. Well huh...

 

[LuxCommander]

Greetings Scum Team!

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Howdy, Ya'll!!!

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

TerraCommander are Sonic and Tails, silencer!

 

[Android Sophia]

[Terrabyte20xx]

We're a vote silencer, so at night we pick a pair, and they can't vote the next day.

[AllThingsPurple]

Me and ambulance are spongebob and Patrick

You are Spongebob & Patrick the Bulletproof. You're here to crash Nintendo's party, and thanks to Spongebob you're a literal bullet sponge!

You are aligned with the MAFIA.

You are immune to the first kill attempt on you. You may also perform the faction kill by sending the gamerunner the command KILL: <NAME>. You also have the ability to vote.

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Heya! I've never played scum before, but I look forward to playing with ya'll.

 

[Android Sophia]

The first rule of scum is to not be scummy.

The second rule of scum is to NOT be scummy.

The third rule of scum is to always carry a red shell.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

This is my 2nd time scum, the first being the last game and I struggled to stay engaged in as far as iso'ing and stuff which ultimately led to being correctly scum read

 

[Android Sophia]

I can pretty much tell that people are gonna be using my past play experiences against me, even though it's been two years.

If you can't use outdated reads, why even play? :P

 

[Android Sophia]

If you can't use outdated reads, why even play? :P

To make people squirm when they realize I've got a fortitude of steel now. :p

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

I was a little nervous being scum for the first time, but I really like the roster of this team! I've read SO many articles about being scum so I hope I can implement at least a little of what I've read into my play.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Almost forgot to mention, we can't vote silence on MYLO or LYLO.

 

[Natiko]

Almost forgot to mention, we can't vote silence on MYLO or LYLO.

To clarify for full transparency - if you use it during a night where it is not MYLO, but your night kill causes the next day to start in MYLO then the vote silence will fail.

 

[Android Sophia]

To clarify for full transparency - if you use it during a night where it is not MYLO, but your night kill causes the next day to start in MYLO then the vote silence will fail.

Basically, they can use it, but if other actions cause us to enter MYLO or LYLO it'll fail?

 

[AllThingsPurple]

So I've played multiple times with zeke and ambulance and familiar with their play style, so looking forward to playing with you again Lux, this time on the same side at least and playing with and getting to know the rest of you!

Indeed. I don't think I know you, unless you had a different alias before. I've played with Zeke and Terra before, but I think that's it as far as our teams go?

 

[AllThingsPurple]

No we haven't met before im new to this community this season :)

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

For all newbies (and long returnees such as myself), we must remember the most important aspect of playing as scum: Talk to each other. While this is a pairs game, we have the knowledge of far more people then everyone else. Communication makes and breaks scum teams. If anyone is unsure of how to respond, feel free to ask here. While we love to believe that team players can spot carefully constructed posts, the truth is that it is rarely called out or even noticed. As someone with a surprising amount of scum play relative to games played, I can't tell you how many times one of us got caught simply because of a reactionary post.

 

[Natiko]

Basically, they can use it, but if other actions cause us to enter MYLO or LYLO it'll fail?

Correct. Didn't want you all to think that just because the action was used prior to MYLO that it would hold once MYLO is triggered.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Heya! I've never played scum before, but I look forward to playing with ya'll.

Just remember, no one knows your scum. So dont freak out or anything if you are scumread. They don't have anything concrete on you unless it's a red check.

I'll make sure to keep my cool.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Day 1s are so hard for me.



Also pairs dont forget, town will have questions about "what you disscused in lovers chats"*. So be prepared with "we discussed reads" and stuff along those lines.

* They get lovers chats dont they?

 

[Natiko]

Yes, they do.

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Nice response time Natiko.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Oh yea SophiaRAGE has roleblock.

 

[Natiko]

Nice response time Natiko.

I do what I can o7

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

I do what I can o7

o7

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

@AllThingsPurple already laying down some breadcrumbs for the fake role?

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Me and ambulance will take the donkey and diddy kong fake claims if that's cool?

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Sure, I'm cool with it.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

SR will take toad and toadette

 

[Android Sophia]

That's a lot of truffleshuffling.

I don't even remember what that was from!

 

[EzekelRAGE]

I call dibs on Toad/Toadette for fake claims.

lol just now seeing the posts from earlier in the thread lol.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

[Android Sophia]

No objections to me making joke references to our chat having lots of truffleshuffling? And me being confused?

 

[EzekelRAGE]

We're a vote silencer, so at night we pick a pair, and they can't vote the next day.

Use that on me and sophia first possibly?

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Nope thats good

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Me and ambulance are spongebob and Patrick

So there is a vigi for town

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Use that on me and sophia first possibly?

That's... Actually not a bad idea, we should see what Lux thinks when he gets around to the thread.

 

[Android Sophia]

Use that on me and sophia first possibly?

That actually might be a pretty good idea if we're allowed to target ourselves with it.

 

[Android Sophia]

So there is a vigi for town

Or a neutral serial killer team.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

I can’t believe this. Zeke must have posted the gif 8 times in your chat already.

You have no idea wee...

 

[Android Sophia]

After playing several games IRL, I've come to the conclusion that Day 1 can be useful but is often just a crapshot.

So I'll probably vote where Zeke votes.

I feel you there. I always struggle making the jump from the jokey part of Day 1 to the meat and potatoes.

 

[Android Sophia]

Hey @Natiko, can we silence ourselves?

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

I feel you there. I always struggle making the jump from the jokey part of Day 1 to the meat and potatoes.

That's actually really simple, it's called Day 2.

 

[Android Sophia]

Yeah Zeke you're gonna want to avoid JonTron. His content isn't welcome at Era.

 

[Natiko]

Hey @Natiko, can we silence ourselves?

TerraCommander can target other scum, but they cannot literally self target with it.

 

[Android Sophia]

TerraCommander can target other scum, but they cannot literally self target with it.

Excellent.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Eh, we can always not use it in MYLO/LYLO then claim we were hit.

 

[Android Sophia]

Eh, we can always not use it in MYLO/LYLO then claim we were hit.

Anyone who claims it is gonna be asked to test it by voting, so that likely won't work. Unless Natiko is gonna let us dig our own grave, vote, and only not count it at day's end.

 

[Android Sophia]

Also, any limitations on that silencer?

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

I was not expecting back to back cop claims on Day 1 lol

 

[Android Sophia]

I was not expecting back to back cop claims on Day 1 lol

I see little has changed and this community's penchant for dumb day 1 shtick still exists. :p

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

So I was going to weigh in on the whole Genoforce thing.

Is this post ok, " I'm trying to wrap my brain around these last few pages. Can someone explain to me wanting to lunch Genoforce? I don't see what testing their loved claim accomplishes for town. Their move to me reads more like a weird town gambit then a scum move. "

 

[Android Sophia]

Nothing wrong as far as I can tell at first glance, but be prepared to defend that viewpoint if/when it comes up again.

Will do!

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Yeah I don't even know where to jump in on this conversation, think I'll just stay quiet for now

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Of course the second I post the whole thing doesn't matter.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Yeah Zeke you're gonna want to avoid JonTron. His content isn't welcome at Era.

Legit didnt know who that is.

 

[LuxCommander]

Apologies for the absence guys, literally working the gig from hell right now.

I agree that it'd be a good idea to go ahead and silence one of our own at the beginning, it'll establish credibility.

 

[LuxCommander]

Oh, @Terrabyte20xx , send me my Red Tron avy!

 

[Android Sophia]

I'm working right now, and I've got stuff to do after work. If anyone asks why I suddenly stopped posting, you can let them know @EzekelRAGE

aight

 

[Android Sophia]

Alright. Getting caught up. I'll post my "reads" here in a few.

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Sorry I wasn’t very active today. I didn’t get much sleep, but I’ll start contributing more tomorrow.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

 

[Android Sophia]

Shall I vote with you, Zeke?

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Shall I vote with you, Zeke?

You can if you want

 

[Android Sophia]

You can if you want

Then I shall.

Ugh, this game is hard to keep up with.

 

[Android Sophia]

Fair warning y'all. I work eight hours a day. I'm gonna be a bit reliant on everyone to look out for me.

 

[Android Sophia]

BLARG OH MY GOD.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Android Sophia and EzekelRAGE - Sophia's first few posts rubbed me the wrong way - seemed like someone focusing on commenting around the game rather than on the game, and there was something she didn't follow up on - but both are stronger after initial start. Town lean here.

YESSSSSSS Finally got a townread from monkey.

I need to frame this

 

[EzekelRAGE]

I can be lynched a happy man now

 

[AllThingsPurple]

I haven't really got any strong "scum" reads yet, I'm also finding the game quite hard to keep up with.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

This game is SUPER hard to keep up with... Wich has been a growing problem in the community for years tbh.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

This game is SUPER hard to keep up with... Wich has been a growing problem in the community for years tbh.

Yeah it can be tough, especially as some players are just very confident in what they are saying and can dominate the thread. I do find it hard to engage with certain user for thst reason but that's more of a me problem

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Nah, that's actually an extremely common reaction... I assume you're referring to Sorian?

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Nah, that's actually an extremely common reaction... I assume you're referring to Sorian?

Yes lol

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Yeah I agree this has been a tough game for me to engage in. Honestly I don't know if this game is one I can keep up with. I don't want to be dead weight for this time so I'm probably going to ask to be replaced.

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

That time should be team.

 

[Android Sophia]

This game is SUPER hard to keep up with... Wich has been a growing problem in the community for years tbh.

Yeah I hear you. It's hard for me to keep up too now that I can no longer dedicated myself to it.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Yeah I agree this has been a tough game for me to engage in. Honestly I don't know if this game is one I can keep up with. I don't want to be dead weight for this time so I'm probably going to ask to be replaced.

I definitely thought this game would be a nice change of pace from the last game, but its still pretty full on.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Yeah I agree this has been a tough game for me to engage in. Honestly I don't know if this game is one I can keep up with. I don't want to be dead weight for this time so I'm probably going to ask to be replaced.

It'll be sad to see you go if you do, but at the end of the day this is a game, so if you feel it's causing unneeded stress, do what's best for you.

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Ok I messaged Natiko. I'm really sorry to do this, but I know that if I stayed for this game that I'd be holding the team back.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Ok I messaged Natiko. I'm really sorry to do this, but I know that if I stayed for this game that I'd be holding the team back.

Really sorry to see you go! I was looking forward to being paired with you

 

[Natiko]

I'm seeking a replacement now. Pair games can be pretty intense in that despite how few roles there are it's still a lot of players. It skinnies down fast though due to the nature of everyone being lovers.

 

[Android Sophia]

Hey @AllThingsPurple, I'm gonna look at a place to jump on at you at. I think we need some scum vs scum right now. :P

 

[Natiko]

LaunchpadMcQ will be in here any moment now. I'm letting him in to coordinate what was said between ATP and Ambulance previously, that way he isn't immediately jumped by the thread to spill what was said and thus caught out on a dumb gotcha. Once you're ready @LaunchpadMcQ just let me know and I'll announce it to the thread that you subbed in.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Hey @AllThingsPurple, I'm gonna look at a place to jump on at you at. I think we need some scum vs scum right now. :P

No problem, don't go to hard though! I might buckle under the pressure :p
