i mean, we already have an anti town role (innocent child) the chances of having a 3rd party right now aren't as low as the chances of having a two anti town roles.
can you character claim, i want some more information before going any further with my theory.
The statements about that1 theorizing about 3rd parties meaning she is scummy, without substantiating it or clarifying whether it was a joke
why would you want a third claim? Unless you have reason to suspect Supa, giving more info to scum is not helpful. Speed would be my only exception in this regard. ;-)
And look, JUST as I make this post that1 is talking about TPs again!
but you pre-empting the argument that danielle had to have randomized gives credence to the theory that you pre-empted the argument.
Didn't you just vote pie for fluff posting?

I think one of Whiteflam or Bullish is likely scum, but not both. White because he's contributing regularly in a non-contributory way. It feels forced, like he's playing narrator without actually hunting scum. He echos obvious observations or statements and anything remotely novel he says he seems willing to backdown from immediately as almost a gut reaction to realizing he's drawn attention to himself. I have never played with White before, so this is based on no prior information.
Conversely, if White is town, I think Bullish is scum because he jumped on White so fast and almost came across like he saw White as an easy target.
How do you not know about this, hunting for 3rd parties is classic classic scum tell that goes all the way back. When you're scum and you can't fake a scum read on town and you don't want to scum read a buddy, you try to hunt for TPs because it looks genuine.
Last friday's Star Wars mafia I was harping on Airmax for his PGO + Jango fett claim the whole game as probably TP. And guess what I was scum that game.
And look, JUST as I make this post that1 is talking about TPs again!
You both need to focus. It is in fact possible that all three of them are scum. Do not clutter the DP with a flamewar. You're both big brain and if you're both town, then we are going to win this game. I think the scummiest player behaviorally is White and his lynch gives us info on Bullish's affiliation. Let's lynch white.
Ooo spooky I must be the NIghtmare Before Christmas!
I really don't get this. What part of my behavior is unclear? In no previous game have I ever sought to lynch someone in DP1. That was a given in this game as well.
The only thing I wanted out of this DP was information. I pushed for it and got it, so I felt no need to continue putting on pressure and try to get a lynch off. It was never my aim to pursue a lynch, and as you said and I agreed, I don't want to reveal so many roles that we end up giving mafia way too much information to work with. If you somehow see that as inconsistent, then you're welcome to rally others around the cause
and push for me to claim.
That1 is sus for bring up jester. Bringing up 3rd parties is a classic scum tell.
2. Again if this is such a scum tell why aren't you pushing her harder for it and focusing on water?
*eye roll*
I've never heard of this as a classic scum tell before. I definitely don't see it as an SOP thing either, townies have reason to be paranoid of third parties as well. Hell, we've had two very recent 3rd party wins between drafters game and pie's game.
I agree with Bullish that bringing up TP's can be a scum tactic. Essentially, bringing up any baseless game mechanic is a scum strategy for distracting the town and throwing suspicion on a townie that otherwise appears town (because they are genuinely hunting scum). I cannot believe we are spending this much time on this comment, which is commenting on a scum tactic I have seen used in something like 70% or more of games I have played.
i think i've done a decent job of explaining myself
Looks like Bullish is doing a scattershot approach, going after me, you, and Water all at once, erratic af. If Bullish is scum then we have a valueable scum catch
Yes town CAN hunt for TP but as I just explained scum have more incentive to. I pushed airmax as TP harder than anyone else. Scumtells don't have to pin someone as scum to be useful. This is also why I'm pushing Water cause his scum slip is a lot more serious.
