There you are, you bad apples.
Now, seeing as I've gotten all excited about seeing heroes fight to the death, I won't tell anyone that I know who you are.
In exchange, I request that you go out there and cause as much carnage as you can. It's ok; they're just dolls. They can take it.
Don't let me down. I have scant patience for screwups.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding your roles or their functions.
Here are some fake names you can use to claim in the event of an emergency:
Squall Leonhart Firion The Warrior of Light Yuna Luneth

Now, I think for three of you it's your first time playing against the heroes if I'm not mistaken. You can use this dark plane of communication to ask any questions about your role, your partners' roles, or gameplay tactics you might have. Ignoring your allies will surely lead to ruin; the key to victory is plentiful correspondence!

Alright, this always bears saying
RULE ONE OF BEING SCUM: CALM DOWN!!!
There are a couple really easy mistakes that YOU, as a scum player, may find yourself making.
1. You speak from a position of knowledge. If someone throws a suspicion list with all of us in it, that's something to be noted, but that person might have 0 clue as to whether he's right on ANY of us. Scum can get caught subconsciously confirming theories other townies have, and you should be aware of this tendency
2. Sort of a continuation of 1. YOU, above all others, will have an easier time piecing together what happened at night. Try not to let it show. Even "theories". Participate in the discussion, but try to maybe probably limit to a couple of realistic possibilities, etc. If we need to divert attention, do something like that, we're going to be discssing it.
3. Don't worry about trying to post smartly, drive away attention from fellow scum, etc. Honestly, the best thing to do is to play natural. Play like you're town, piecing thngs together. If part of that involves communicating with us less, do it
4. BUT, you have to still communicate. Communication is HUGE. HUGE. I don't know of a single successful scum team that wasn't communicating at least on a decent level.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. This thread is different from that thread. Ok, this here deals with hypothetical situations. But say we discuss a possible role claim, or discuss what person x should say. Try not to post something as if they have already said it in the thread. At this point, we've gone from rules to tips.
6. Also try not to look too organized/synchronized between us
7. Also, in your attempts to look natural, don't just ignore/avoid mentioning fellow scum-mates in things like read-lists. I personally have had struggles with this in the past, so I'm especially going to stress this point
This may look like a bunch of scary rules, bt just relax. Being scum is about playing naturally, staying calm, and treating this thread like a reaction thread. You can vent all the steam you want (if any of you are freaking out, vent in this thread, it helps, believe me). And know we're practically the best players, because everyone else is shit

I'm now tied with two other players for most scum assignments if I'm correct
Anyways, roles!
My name is [highlight]Exdeath, Despot of the Void[/highlight]
My power is that if I am lynched, I kill the first person to have ever voted for me that day
Based on our win condition and the town's, the neutral in this game will be working against us. sigh
We have a good sized team for the size of the game, which is nice. My other experiences with ~16 player games is 4 scum anyways, and in Election Mafia one of them was a voteless neutral that was a godfather (in a game with a weak cop and a 1-shot day cop XD)
So yeah, this is an improvement

And do remember that none of you are privy to each other's powers. Do your best to explain them to each other so that you fully understand how they all work, but I'll be here to answer any questions you might have so don't forget about what resources are at your disposal.

Looking at my role pm, I'm noticing a couple more things
There's another killing role, and some sort of day killing role. My power doesn't activate if I'm nk'ed or targeted by some power. I'm assuming this is a day kill now
Scrafty, how would my power work against an override?

Ok, so we might easily have a day kill/override, and a vigilante/anti-scum SK

Also, let's have a big warm welcome for StackpoleH! Welcome to Gafia, we will be setting things on fire very shortly. Also, Darryl is Kefka, and that makes me chuckle.

Well, first time on a scum team. Hopefully I don't fuck this up.
Anyway, I'm Kefka Palazzo, The Psycho Clown. 3 times per game, I can redirect abilities targeting a player with the command HATEHATEHATE: <Player>, but unfortunately I can't choose who the new target for these abilities is.

Pop, your power synergizes with my Strongkill in that you don't affect my targeting. We can essentially do "untraceable kills" this way

Huh, ok, gonna start guessing somethings.
-Alright. From the onset, we know we have a vigilante/serial killer, and a day kill/override -The neutral is NOT aligned with us -Based off of your powers, we might have to worry more about watchers and trackers, but I doubt we have a cop/strong cop. Maybe a weak cop though. Let's see StanleypoleH's role though, maybe it'sa godfather or something. -I'm guessing we have a doctor and one other protective role. Like 1-shot bulletproof, or really weak doctor. Maybe just a doctor -We have a bunch of x-shot abilities. This gives me two ideas. A. Town has a bunch of x-shot powers. Like 3-shot watchers and stuff B. It adds credence to us worrying more about trackers and watchers, as asides from the kill we have no ever night powers
Anyways, let's go win this thing
WOOOOO

If RNGjesus blesses us, we could have a boatload of chaos going on.

Just remember that RNG can cause Kefka to change the target to one of you guys, or even himself.
