I still think that "scumslip" could just as easily be a miswording from a townie.

"You have to remember that scum have a tracker" ==> "You have to remember that scum could have a tracker"
and the rest of his point works just as well.

yeah except it was a proper slip. it COULD have been a miswording, but likelihood is that it isn't, probably. Further it wasn't the only time on day 1 he slipped something like that. Once it happens twice... well, yeah ^^

Thanks Adam.

Regarding the claims on day 2 leading to the Alakaslam lynch: What do you think about the way that Alakaslam counter claimed? He did not counter and call Onegu scum. Alakaslam accidentally counter claimed and came to the conclusion that it meant both Onegu and he were town. With that in mind, is it still more likely that the person who made the original claim is scum?

the real moral of the story isn't that scum don't make scumslips, but that people don't understand scumslips very well. town "slips" knowledge that they don't have all the time. Scum actually scumslips, also. Things like slipping the number of scum in a game, or the presence/absence of a scum tracker (especially with ambiguous wording, and especially because scum almost never have trackers) are certainly slips, but unless you can show they're slips that townies wouldn't make by accident it's not valuable.

most scumslips that people latch onto are things townies can, and do say. I scumslip about as often when town as I do when scum.

The real double moral of the story is that "scumslip" is a pretty bad method of distinguishing scum from town
