San Franpsycho said:
Neutrals with killing powers are also scum?

Scum = people who are threats to town, not just mafia

But yeah, I can see how that would invite confusion - I remember this coming up in a previous game also a long time ago. I just use "scum" as a blanket term for "all the people trying to murder us before we can murder them."
This may be bull...

I know the game she's talking about, it was GoT, which was my first game, and that idea of "does Scum refer to just Mafia, or any non-Town player?" has stuck with me for my entire Mafia playing career ever since lol.

Personally, I use Scum to just mean Mafia, if I'm trying to be inclusive of Neutrals in my wording, I'll say non-Town.

We're still talking gossip chat huh? Here's what really happened (I may have said this already):

I forgot gossip was a day command and spent N1 alone. N2 I invited Sans and probably would've shot her but I wanted the chance to gossip again. At least I also drew the mafia shot (allegedly). I told her I didn't chat with anyone N1 which is why Char claimed that.

whatever
guess imma just drop the act and stop following the game since its just putting me in a mood

im probably in the wrong or w/e and i definitely didnt play well but
i think if you get outside knowledge of who signed up to a game like this you should just sub out
you have info that no one else has and getting what felt like a blindside on d1 wasn't particularly fun

don't want anyone to feel bad or w/e but this seemed like the type of game where i could come in and try to play without stressing myself out too much and it just didn't sit right

anyways if im in the wrong (probably am) i apologize for making a stink but i wanted to get it off my chest

Kook mentioned keeping a notepad of notes about the game. Ephi always takes notes with a notepad...

Is she Kook and not Phantom

:surprised:

No you have a right to be upset. The newbie player said they were going to play before the game and more importantly the rule that you couldn't reveal if you signed up was announced, and it was definitely my bad for forgetting to tell him that costume games are normally anonymous so don't reveal if he was planning to or not.

When he claimed to be a newbie player in game, the damage was done since Alien wasn't the only player that probably saw him say he was playing, and it really should have not happened.

I'm not fully sure how to avoid this going forward except to just tell every new player that asks about costume games in general the rule, and I'll def make sure that happens going forward to prevent further cases like that.

Currently it's Stan
Feels like scum is in a real tight spot when Stan didn't even come to mind as a good night kill target. I was thinking about the two players who openly voiced concern over potential bussing and the semi-confirmed mason.

Is the doctor out of shots btw?

hey. i've read this whole thread. super annoyed at myself i didn't scum read san fran enough. there just always seemed to be scummier people.
You did amazing tbh. Nothing to be annoyed about.

Who’s under the mask? I haven’t been able to figure you out haha

launchpad, you were snack right? how did you get gnome?
Mostly gambit. I had a “not vanilla” on him and I just pressed it to see what would happen. lol
 

LaunchpadMcQ

...can I smell you?
wee really pushing scum reads on Lightning and Alien? If I didn’t have a vanilla check on them, I’d think that’s the neutral slot from here lol

guess!



very impressed. that was a big risk but it payed off
Hmm I don’t recognize your posting style, but the unaccounted for players that come to mind don’t fit at all. Maybe Fandorin or VA?
 
wait, Ael wouldn’t be so cruel to make it so the neutral returns a vanilla check just because they’re the only one of their kind, would they….
If they were a standard arsonist with no bells or whistles they'd be vanilla

Our arsonist has bells and whistles
 
Lightning strikes: Doctor Tutor, a doctor who chooses a player to be a doctor backup, the backup starts with 1 shot + additional shots for each night lightning didn't use their power.
Wax Phantom: Mason
Snow Creature, Snow Ghost, Neon Phantom, Spooky Space Kook, Captain Skunkbeard and Alien: Vanilla town

Pazzo the Ghost Clown: Daphne the Identity sleuth, a role cop but needed to guess a players identity in order to learn their rolename
San Franpsycho: Velma the Goon

Boobeard: Scrappy Doo the Costume Arsonist, arsonist who douses costumes (allowing frankenstein and char gar gothakon to escape douse) wins if the last one standing or if they kill 3+ players including a member of the mafia team, to help them achieve this they would learn if the player they voted for was scooby doo.

the thing I hope alien sees is that the overreactions to his reaction also came from nerves (and from mafia playing up all the nerves). But personally i panicked when I saw his comment bc I was afraid that woodsman would avoid getting voted out. So basically we were all jumpy together.

i heard that aeleus added a secret scrappy doo cult that only gets revealed D6 by borked voting accident.

I think it really depends on Boo. If he gets scum before he dies scum is probably fucked. If he doesn’t it’s more up in the air.
 

LaunchpadMcQ

...can I smell you?
Yeah, I think the arsonist angle kills our chances here. If Boo wasn't in play, I can see us eventually narrowing it down to Sans and Pazzo. However, Boo doesn't seem to be scumreading Sans or Pazzo at all (at least not publicly). He could be hiding his reads because he suspects one of them might be scum and wants to leave them alive for today so he can douse them, but I have no idea how likely that is. At least for right now, it seems he's not going to meet his win condition before murdering another chunk of town players.

My final Scum guesses are San and Pazzo, aka, Monkey and Natiko.

being emotionally manipulated by scum into thinking you're a bad player is one of the toughest parts of mafia. but it's better than being super smug townies who are being manipulated by scum into thinking they're on the road to winning when in fact they are comfortably pocketed. Because the former get to be vindicated when they read the spec thread but the latter have to slap themselves on the forehead. i look forward to that vindication for you alien.

I love that the two scum left are flavor wise the most competent of the gang.

I feel like I should know who this is based on this post but I can't place it.

So my fave thing about being a reviewer is helping review a game and then not actually participating in on mod chat (unless I get asked to help of course which I'll do in a heart beat if requests) is I have to guess who is what role and on top of that I usually do not remember the roles usually LOL.

HvV 3 was hella hilarious to me for that reason because I remembered some roles clear as day but not others.

Anyways for this game I had forgotten most of them except for like that The Ghost of Stealin' Stan was Stealin' Stan lol and Strikes was town (forgot his role lol, I thought he was a lighning rod :surprised: )

But the one role I remembered clear as fucking day (outside of scum having a costume thief and someone guessing who players are), was that Boobeard is Scrappy the neutral arsonist.

:eyes:

So out of everyone in this game, the one I'm rooting the most right now is Boobeard, because his player really is a newbie and he's doing a great job considering. I've been secretly rooting for him all game. c:

Alien said:
You assume scum are on the ropes but based on what? Town hasn't played some unprecedented great game. We caught scum via a fake red check, an unforced error and either a player that stopped trying or allowed themselves to be bussed.

Maybe things are going exactly the way they want them to.

You say why not wait to mass claim. Why not do it now before scum have a chance to prepare?
