also lol that reaction from is totally justified imo
I get it's like your thing or your mojo to be picking at the little stuff so I'm not here to stop you or anything
you might need to reorient here tho

as someone who OMGUSes constantly, I disagree with it being a scumtell
it's a pretty natural reaction and I don't think new players are gonna resort to omgus out of anything other than emotion

Oh Emotion. The driving force for every Mafia Game.

Then i take it youre not familiar with the meta that Rubik and Funnier are never on the same side. If one is scum then the other is town

even if this were true there's no reason to believe anything about funnier's alignment either at this point so the case on rubik is still stupid.

I think that its because new players are going to react to things emotionally that its easier to read their alignment, probably. Their emotional state is going to differ depending on how they're playing the game. OMGUSing is a weaker tell than guilt over inactivity and guilt over inactivity is already a pretty weak tell but I think both are things that someone is more likely to feel as scum than as town.

Flavor in the OP suggests that everyone is a villain at least in name if not in role. Does anyone want to dispute this?

Yes.

 

[Morbid Minish]

Its because its their first game that its a tell. New players fall into common psychological patterns more commonly than older players, who know how to adjust their play.

Maybe it's also because I apologize for my inactivity too, even more so as town. I remember you scum reading me for it in one of the first games we played together. Lol.

This post reads like Snowlight's partners told them they shouldn't go on me directly and so they tried to indirectly incriminate me instead. The fact that

I did actually kinda think along these lines with Snowlight's responses. It seemed possible that scumbuds were giving her info in scum chat. But I don't know if it's a case of that or just because she read last game and picked up on some stuff.

I see you conflating omgus and noob mistakes (if you can call this a noob mistake even...)
It doesn't feel disingenuous though

The reason omgus is a scum tell in the first place is because more experienced players can fake it as an outlet for content
They can't legitimately suspect someone who suspects them because of burden of knowledge lol

You're not actually bothering to figure out whether it feels authentic to you or not either out of laziness or because wolf or like something idk

Personally think it's authentic

1. Winter Funderland- null
2. Namira- null
3. Morbid Minish- town
4. Saint Bik- town
5. Snowlight- town
6. Storm- town
7. RuDoc- town lean
8. Kilza in a Pear Tree- scum
9. Johnny Sooshi- null
10. ExNight B4 Xmas- town lean
11. Moe the Moblin- town
12. Pen- null
13. Ragnarokio- town lean
14. KingofDominaria- wolf lean

This is where I at for now, probably ask questions first then roleclaim later
Dumb as it is I think me claiming first is optimal

My character isn’t a villain.

 

[Mikey the Moblin]

My character isn’t a villain.

Yeah we've already established that

 

[ExLight]

Diversionary tactics. Lets face it. With these flavored games with one set Theme, its best to try to pretend to be someone else at the start. Hell, Im surprised no one has Tried to claim to be Black Canary or any other DC hero in Gotham

I almost started pursuing your lynch because Mr. Freeze is prolly scum roleblocker oof
were you expecting a counterclaim or something

 

[ExLight]

Yeah we've already established that

still catching up

 

[ExLight]

the 10 scum team concept is misleading since there’s nothing pointing up to that

I’m gonna assume a traditional setup with 9-3-2 for 14 players, with one indept being hostile and one being non-hostile

 

[ExLight]

Also the case against rubik is stupid. Given that rubik is claiming that they have a role that benefits from being targeted, its entirely natural for them to claim that information on day 1 to maximize the effectiveness of the role. Furthermore, drawing attention to yourself for no reason on day 1 doesn't really make sense as scum.

1-shot Paranoid Gun Owner Scum let’s goo

 

[ExLight]

OMGUS isn’t a scumtell imo
I think I’ve seen town doing that more than scum.

 

[ExLight]

Yeah we've already established that

lmao you know what would be funny
if town were the villains and scum were the heroes
