Has anyone ever played in a game or can give evidence of a 16-person game with only 3 scum? Obviously this could be the first but yeah I always assume scum make up 1/4 of the total count. Exactly. Blazinghand knows this and yet was operating under the knowledge of a 3 man scum team. | ||

Why would he then say that he would be confirmed town after X nights when he knows that we are all aware that this is a closed set-up with the possibility of any role in play...even scum masoner? | ||

The idea (and it is a bad idea) is that I forgot about that part, (and this is more believable than me forgetting it as town). | ||

I am going after him like a rabid dog and instead of calling me bad/stupid like a townie who had not slipped at all would do he makes it seem as if it is HIS FAULT if he gets lynched. IF HE DIDN'T SLIP WHY WOULD HE BE AT FAULT FOR HIS LYNCH? he knows it would be his fault because he fucking slipped. He fucked up and knows it, thus will 'never live it down.' Inherent guilt and knowledge of his own fuck up. Lynch him tomorrow. | ||

Because scum masoners are rare and he is trying to leverage his role into town cred. Remember his mason claim is all that saved him and most of us were operating under the assumption that he was town mason. Also people say confirmed town all the time for stupid reasons. I choose to view it as meaningless posturing. | ||

Like you gotta admit if you did this as town you'd feel that same way | ||

Rare or not, its in play, so the town has to consider it. Like, we already have talked about how the mason claim isn't alignment indicative. I suppose it makes sense though. It also proves BH hasn't been reading the thread. If he had been diving filters, he'd know there aren't just 12 players (and hence 3 scum as per normal), and that assumption would not have arisen. | ||

Because you said as town you wouldn't scumslip or act confused. Plus 'act' confused insinuates you believe my confusion is an act, which since I'm apparently having so much trouble understand what you're saying, isn't. Maybe it's all relatively simple and I'm just an idiot or fucking exhausted. I need to go to bed. | ||

The confirmed town part is meaningless. It doesn't mean anything. Both scum and town like to call themselves confirmed town. And if Blazinghand was 'playing' the role of town mason then it makes sense to call himself confirmed town because he is trying to emulate the mindset of a real town mason. Regardless the confirmed town part is peripheral to the real slip and is meaningless in determining blazinghands alignment or the validity of his slip. | ||

But, on the other hand, there's another completely reasonable explanation for my post, which is that I'm town and I was like "oh, hey there could be 4 scum actually" and wrote that post. Does this mean the post is evidence that I'm town? not, but it's not evidence that I'm scum. It's also worth noting I have only ever "scumslipped" as a blue, and have done so previously also as a mason. I have never scumslipped as scum or as a VT. Could this be my first time? Sure. But I'm an extremely solid scum player, and my blue play-- especially in a game like this with a rough start-- has holes in it. I post quickly and without always reading everything, since I am fearless, whereas as scum I post carefully, even when I am spamming. DP, you've laid out a very convincing case for how scum blazinghand could make that post I made where I commented there could be 4 scum. I agree: scum Blazinghand could definitely write a post like that. Where i think you've fallen short is where you demonstrate that this isnt' something I do as town. I do this kind of "write something, then add some additional observation" thing, ALL THE TIME as town. So yes, the "BH is scum" narrative fits that post, but you have not demonstrated that the "BH is town narrative" does not. Therefore, although I don't consider that post a towntell, it is NOT a scumtell. I could, and do, write posts like that as both alignments, including after "scumslips" as town. And I think the fact that I scumslip often, revealing "scum only" information as town, and especially as Blue, is HIGHLY relevant to this conversation. | ||

Scum BH would not have claimed to be confirmed town after 3 nights if he had been reading the thread. We are all factoring in the possibility of a scum mason. | ||
