Going on my one completed game, in which i was scum, i remember being a) Very keen to post
and b) kept either switching votes or appeared reluctant to vote, whilst always trying to speed people up to get a lynch?
Could have got it completely wrong of course. But maybe Kalishnikov is scum?
Good observation, and if it wasn't about me I'd agree that it does look scummy but my motivation for pushing a lynch isn't based on scummy intentions, it's based on information gathering.
We've got to scenarios ahead:
1) We get a no lynch, obtaining absolutely zero info. The scum know each other and get to make a kill (gaining info). Our doc has no idea who to protect, vig has no idea who to kill (bad idea night 1 anyway but I ALWAYS kill if I'm the vig...) , the cop no idea who to investigate and so forth. Thus, the scum get the upper hand with us a man down (slim chance they kill anyone but a townie, I'm doubtful of any third party in this game).
2) We get a lynch, even if it's turns out to be a townie, we've gained valuable info from the vote process, who condemns the lynch and who pushes, what the actual role was, etc. The scum still get a kill, yes but at least we've got a small bit of info. This early in the game you can trade a townie for info as long as they don't have a power role (which they will claim if they get close to a lynch) as there are almost always more town then scum.
Suggs if you weren't so new to this game I'd suggest that you were scum and making a subtle move to get an obvious townie and experienced player lynched day 1, making life much easier for the scum... A very ballsy move for a new scum player so I tend to think it's nothing more then what the surface says it is, you making an observation, but a tactic I've also employed in previous games as scum. Funny how that works out...
Mark my words, Suggs is going to be an excellent scum player should he continue playing mafia games.
On a side note: my re-read yielded nothing of value so I'm still undecided.
