That was shit as a neutral descriptor. I can't see scum being so brazen about not having scumreads.

I do not know why are so offensive.

I don't know offhand what your reasoning was.

His interaction with ghug early on on day 1 screams out to me as someone who wants to be left alone to his own devices. If you're going to hide, then hide, but I want you hiding in plain sight where I can see you. If you're going to hide by cowering and being offended that someone asks you bad questions, I'm going to get you lynched. That's my reasoning.

That said, I can attest that he was at his work yesterday until 3 AM at best and quite possibly later into the night. I'm not expecting tons out of him over the weekends. His job just doesn't allow for that. What we get out of him, though, should be more than weakly answering bad questions and whining about it and so far it really hasn't been.

I've made multiple attempts to talk about the box, info gained and what's lost from claiming early, strategies to circumvent the negatives, but no one seems to want to talk about it. Damo, Bo, would either of you like to discuss?

What's the point in discussing the box. We need to be discussing scum and it's quiet af.

Damo is still my best scum read but flash is a second.

Quoting ND for truth.

ND, given damo is an established wagon, what do you say to giving flash some pressure with me?

Because the box could be instrumental in helping town get info or be used to block night kills?

I thinkt there was enough discussion regarding the box and the conclusion was that it is in town's best interests not to claim.

I don't know how I can change ND's opinion of me but I do agree with him that we should be scum hunting.

I am down to 196 possible scumteams lol!

NKing Tom was "unexpected" to say the least. Tom was lame far below my own expectations of him. I cannot see that there was any reason to fear kill him in this game. **Snipped**

Tom being the nk is also bizarre. Doesn't make sense.

No roleblock claim?

I understand Tom is from a "pool of excellent mafia player," but I expected to see a NK of one of the more active from the pool... I suppose that can get into WIFOM when you consider the doctor... but I am still a little surprised if its a NK/RB combo on Tom.

Why are so many people talking about Tom being a weird/suprising/unexpected night kill? Seems of all those voicing opinions, no one besides me thought it had a decent probability to happen. Are people just playing dumb here and/or trying to play down the Tom kill? To me it seemed like Tom was intentionally trying to not draw attention to himself which would prompt scum to take a shot on him being a PR.





Also the calculation at the end of this is wrong:

Fair point. Possible all leading wagons were town hence the confusion.

I can't believe anyone actually believes this.

Well DrCJG does for one.

What's so implausibe about it? thdfrance flipped town, I know I'm town and on pure numbers DemonRHK has a 14/19 chance of being town
If you know you're town then on pure numbers RHK has a 13/18 chance of being town...

As has been said, talking about the box doesn't equate to catching scum.

Most of the conversation you had regarding the box strikes me as insincere to begin with. Here is my favorite example from page 5.

This is assuming that the person holding the box isn't scum and scum actually want to target whoever is holding the box. However it's something we need to look into more, who benefits more from knowing? Scum could try to target box holders, but then box holders get to direct kills.... hmmm
What does this conversation that you still want to have about the box 40 pages and 96 hours later actually do for us?

I see very little scumhunting from you thus far despite your early activity, presence at the EOD, and presence here now. You seemed to scumread DrCJG, which is great. Why? You said that you didn't want to vote him on day 1 because you wanted to consolidate wagons. Why aren't you leading off day 2 with your scumread instead of only showing up because people called you out?
