actually this is fair

i havent seen any of his scum games that i recall tho
but as town, he does always seems much less townie than how he did last game
he was even like dp1 cfd choice in valentines i think despite being town

This has got to be a matter of difference in perception because his town game I feel is noticably more aggressive and spontaneous. But to some, I suppose this is level one scummy. He's currently on like, level 2 right now.

is this supposed to convince me somehow... ?
I don't care to convince you, but trying to shit on my process is something I won't tolerate anymore. The way I hunt is proven effective. So yes after day 1 my best bet is psychic and I think it has easily the best odds of lynching scum. She did nothing to really show she was town.

@Magic

Feel free to ask me for comment or input, but the thread state demands I be more forceful about this, not less. I'm submitting my vote early.
i feel the same way. day cannot end as it did last phase. that was pitiful. be as forceful as you want, i plan to be as well.

its about informved vs uninformed

he was uninformed there. a mafia wud be informed. its different
no as indy it's about survival. as town it isn't. as mafia it's also about survival. hence why rdk would obviously want to look better as scum than as town.

information is irrelevant in his case as it stands. it's not like he's showing TMI.

There is no reason for her to wait outside of if she wanted to see who would go after me to see if scum bait into it then reveal.

Since she already claimed vanilla the longer she waited the more likely people wouldn't believe her.

i deleted my response to this i think or it didn't go through.

this is a general tactic. mafia, and rdk, has to weigh whether that tactic would work on me. pocketing me is useless, im sure he knows that. last game tat tried pocketing me. i led his lynch day 1. tpein sheeped and tried pocketing me the whole game, never town read him and kept saying he was likely to be purple.

if this was a player unfamiliar with me it would make sense as an explanation. since it's rdk it doesn't.

Gonna have to side with Ekko on this one, actually. There's no one-size fits all here, but most low confidence indies tend to lean into scum hunting and credibility from doing so to bolster their position and blend in. Regardless, this is a silly discussion - I think you should be able to acknowledge that the best point of comparison for someone's scum meta is scum games, not "Ekko's Candyland".

because there's town equity there. there are some things that point to him possibly being town.

there is nothing that points to psychic being town.
Please enlighten me on the former, cause all I see is him wanting to lynch everyone and their cats

nat lied on day 1 and said she was vanilla.

she copped me night 1.

the reasons to withhold sharing usage would be

1) to hide your role and reveal it when pressured. if she was pressured and tried claiming cop now it would be seen as her just trying to save herself or out the cop. there's no utility there and that isn't the right play as town.

2) to wait and see if people/scum push me to try and see who pushes someone she knows to be town then reveal later in the day. again since she lied it isn't guaranteed anyone would believe her if she took this approach and it might still just end in my lynch, lynching her singular result useless.

the third option is what she did and just claim it at the start of day. her information is out there. the only thing i disagree with his admitting to being a single shot. there's no need to give scum that info as they might have shot or wasted their block on her otherwise.

Ironically I think the only argument in favor of RDK I'm willing to entertain is the degree to which he has done absolutely nothing is too low to be scum. Obviously, that's not a good argument.

i like nat now
i think her role is kind of weird but it feels like something that would fit this flavor and something really unusual to fake claim
plus shes playing more like she did last game now
