Back in Action

Direct quoting of your role PMs are allowed in this chat, but nowhere else.

I don't think I'm very good at being Scum, but I may as well learn.

Just play it cool, don't let others work you up too much. That's an easy way to slip and say something you ought not.

You don't have to be super active, but just let yourself be known and contribute to some debates and conversations every now and again.

You'll do just fine.

Hello,

there is a slight mishap, which is why TheGoddamn won't have access here for time being. Problem is being solved.

Welp, you're stuck with me now

First time scummer

how soon before the game can we start scheming?

You can discuss plans and schemes here already, if you so wish.

And to quote myself from batman mafia because I think I gave good pre-game advice:

Step 1: COMMUNICATE - This thread is one of our biggest advantages. If you have a master plan, run it by all of us. Four heads are better than one. If you are unsure of a course of action or just need advice, ask. Nothing can decimate a scum team faster than one person screwing the pooch on a poorly thought out plan and all of their teammates scrambling to help while off balance.

Step 2: Do not be afraid to vote for your teammates. You need to be in there playing mafia, looking for scum. If you come in here, you know us, you can talk to us. In that thread though, you are alone. You are a member of town looking for scum and you have to act like it. If one of us does something scummy, put us to task. If one of us makes the most sense to be voted out, do not be afraid to be on that bandwagon. Most games that scum win will end up with only one scum member remaining, it's impossible to say right now who that will be but you need to build your credibility early. Town will hit scum eventually and you need to be on that vote to look good. In mylo/lylo situations, someone will go through the entire game looking for that one clue. Do everything you can to look as town as possible. Play to find scum, not to protect yourself.

Step 3: Put on the appearance that you are expendable. It's a fine line. Every mafia player, town, neutral, or scum has reason to survive. As town, you always want to avoid a mislynch so preventing a lynch of yourself is always good but scum tends to want to survive more because of the smaller numbers but remember that at the end of the day there is a pecking order. If you are planning to pretend to be an ordinary then you need to know that you have to be willing to die for a PR. It is what it is. Under no circumstances should you only be looking out for yourself unless you plan to do something insane like pretending you are the town doctor.

And that's really it. At the end of the day, the biggest thing is you need to act as if you are town. Read the thread, find scumminess, call it out, and vote where you would vote if you are town. When you are posting in the main game thread, you have to forget that you know the answers. Nothing looks worse than a player who appears to know the answers.

I didn't feel like changing that to reflect that we are all partnered up since you can likely figure that part out on your own

What's up, scum buddies.

Kits, we haven't had a chance to discuss this but I want to go ahead and dibs NPH.

Kits and I are loved btw. One extra vote necessary to turbo us.

Marry me, science dog.

It would be funny if Bear decided to be super bastard and let someone view a random post from the thread and they got that gif.
