And since you've thought I was scum the whole game too what did you think of glurio being the first to make a case on me all game. I lean null-town towards glurio. Honestly, I didn't even remember his case on you. He hasn't stuck out in my mind like Randombum or RestrainingOrder did last game. Here are the posts he's made that caught my eye when I was looking over his filter agian: On March 22 2013 22:31 glurio wrote: Wrong about GK, testsubject and me. You've got quite the theme going there. And my single post is probably gonna be more useful than whatever you write this entire cycle if you go on like this.

Asking how many bullets a vig has is pretty scummy though. I guess that could explain the roleblock on you last night instead of Test. Still doesn't explain where it was N1. Honestly WoS, I'd just rather vote back on you again but it does no good if I can't get support. Whatever, it's not my fault if people won't listen to me. | ||

Either way, I would love to have some constructive criticism on my play. | ||

I'm actually dumb enough that I forget what browser I'm using. I can't go saying this in the thread during the game though because nobody will believe me. I'd believe you  I had you caught halfway into D1. My real question is why when I present a bus attempt does no one even read it? I know that Wiggles noted in his case that I had a 5-6 page filter and he had me at null (which I was ecstatic about), but I really think that newbs get listened to far less often than they should. | ||

I couldn't make a read this game to save my life and I apparently have no idea how to even go about doing it..... I would say: Read more and post less. I would also comb through what dead townies post. It's not all usable, but Ryu should've been hung on the bus attempt I made on him. It was a weak bus attempt sure, but when multiple dead townies are saying the same thing then people really should be taking a closer look. | ||

1. Pay attention to thread sentiment. This is important for a few reasons. First, it will tell you who you can attack without people raising an eye at. For example, I thought the timing on my attack on Mocsta and BH was right on. Second, it tells you how town perceives both you and other members of your scum team. This is important because it tells you what you can get away with. Third, it tells you how you will be allowed to sheep onto cases without drawing suspicion. 2. Keep yourself on a need to know basis. You don't need to know what your teams exact plans for NKs are. The more you know, the more you can slip and the easier you will be caught. Voice your opinion but don't focus on trying to run the show. 3. Don't let your teammates edit your posts. Definitely run you post ideas past your team and let them know the direction you're heading in. Definitely have your team proof your ideas for obvious slips and scum logic. Don't let them write your posts for you. You need to sound like you. 4. You need to be reading the thread as much if not more than town does. Early in day 2 I caught myself not reading my teammates filters. Being self aware is important but being wholly ignorant on a group of players is bad. 5. Set a goal. My goal for this game was to survive until I could be bussed on D4. This really helped give me more confidence both to post and to push random bullshit as I progressed. 6. What you don't post is as important as what you do post. Letting the thread take its course is as important as directing and disrupting the thread. Just like driving on the interstate, it's important to follow the pack as much as it is to lead it. Your job is to misdirect traffic; correcting traffic is towns job. Play to both aspects but focus more on the former than the latter. 7. You are the best scum hunter around because you know who is scum. Your knowledge of who scum shows you where players are playing against town perspective; this is a huge trap. This can lead to two dichotomies that you must avoid: being the best scum hunter and being the worse scum hunter. Don't avoid good cases or points that are being made but don't make the good cases for town to follow either. 8. Don't respond to every little bullshit suspicion. I think one of my two best posts was responding to sciberbia's Zare/Geript RNG association post. Find a way to respond and deflect actual cases. You can respond and deflect bad towny logic as you need to to prevent it from snowballing. Responding to every little thing against you or your teammates looks odd, stupid and scummy. 9. Don't be afraid to fabricate your own bullshit. Don't push random stupid bullshit but don't be afraid to push and pressure townies when they've made huge mistakes in order to push a mislynch. At points between mid-D2 and mid-D4 I backed off because I couldn't find a 'good case' to push. You need to create your own openings so don't be afraid to play to your win con. 10. Keep notes on bad towny play. This will really help when you're aiming to push mistakes. Do your homework on meta cases to help supplement your cases. I was sitting on scum meta points on Laya, Kita and DYH dependent on where I needed to try and throw my weight behind. 11. Ask yourself the questions that you expect to be asked from town. You can't anticipate every question you will be asked, but this helps you answer both confidently and quickly--two things that come across as being towny. 12. Don't be wishywashy. The less confident you come off as, the more scummy you will look and the more scrutiny you will get. Posting confidently helps you slide under the radar. 13. Don't be afraid to look a little scummy. Town don't give a fuck about looking scummy. It's fine to look a little scummy lots of the little stupid points are easy to shrug off. Being "super town" is as bad as you have to explain why you're still alive. Aim to stay ahead of the tail but not at the head. 14. Don't hard defend your mislynches. The harder you defend mislynches then the harder is is to attack them later on. Plus, it makes it very hard to not catch attention when you do. 15. Don't answer questions and don't give information. My best post IMO was my first response to Mocsta mid D2 regarding layabout (while on the WoS scum hunt train). If you look at the exchange, I never actually take an actual stance on layabout. Moc asked about people on the GM wagon D1; I then gave a generic response. Moc asked about layabout in specific; I answered by differentiating Layabout from what exactly Moc asked regarding GM and then stated that Layabout looked like he did in LX. Moc assumed (and wrote) that I was saying he looked town-ish. Don't give them an inch of rope to let them hang you. 16. Call people out for bullshit. VE's original cases weren't great. Moc's initial defense of WoS was bad (because he didn't read the thread and assumed) attacking both them AND the mislynch makes you look good. Capitalize on town mistakes. | ||

I think he didn't straight up bus us for a few reasons. One, it is kinda a douchey thing to do. Two, he figured that there were multiple ways he could win (bus us if things got bad to win with 3P or win with 3P after mafia took over). Three, we were under the assumption that 3P could recruit any number of players opening up a 3P/scum co-win by alternating recruits on town/scum to create a super majority. In short I think he thought he could play both sides against the middle. | ||
