Setup:

 

• Before the game starts, mafia must elect a townie to be the gunbearer. That player has until deadline runs out to shoot another player.
• The town discuss amongst themselves, and the gunbearer picks someone to target by posting shoot.
• If their target is mafia, the target dies and the gunbearer keeps the gun. 
• If their target is town, the gunbearer dies and the target becomes the new gunbearer.
• If the gunbearer does not shoot by deadline, they die and the mafia are given 48 hours to pick a new gunbearer.

Most likely.

Most likely.

Rafay, i know who's scum.

Most likely.

care to explain why?

Just a thought. MK was saying it was Rafay, which if MK got shot, it would put rafay in a pretty good position to be townie. and if rafay got shot, and he was actually scum, it would make MK look innoecent, meaning he is not likely to be shot, meaning both of them could be it, and brewer could be trying to protect rafay now and keeping himself and rafay out of his list because they are two of the final scum. Just a thought...

the last person I would try to protect is rafay lol

the last person I would try to protect is rafay lol

Racist

Sorry, not protect, but rule him out as being scum. That better, hurt ya feelings less?

lol no, feelings were never hurt you are actually participating and trying to form theories, which is more than the vast majority of the players can say lol.

 

you have never played a game with rafay before but basically 100% of his games go like this: he says something that screams scum to the entire town, gets him lynched, ends up being town, then calls everyone racist for it lol  so if I was a scum partner with rafay he would be the very last person I would tie my fate to, because its only a matter of time before he does something thats going to paint himself as scum suspect #1 lol

 

 

Just a thought. MK was saying it was Rafay, which if MK got shot, it would put rafay in a pretty good position to be townie. and if rafay got shot, and he was actually scum, it would make MK look innoecent, meaning he is not likely to be shot

 

 

now this is actually something that does make a bit of sense here.  like I previously said, rafay is not someone as a scum partner you would want to tie your fate to, in fact he is probably someone u would want to do the opposite for, as rafay is pretty much always a top suspect for some reason or another, and if you are scum and one of the first people to go after him, it does look good for the town, and would have looked good for MK if hypothetically rafay died d1 as scum

 

however, even if rafay is scum that still means there are two more.  And if I am being honest, I dont think its worth the risk.  lets say Rafay is town and kevin shoots rafay-then kevin dies and rafay becomes the gun bearer.  In my eyes. kevinH has a much much much higher chance of figuring out who is who and making the right call with who to shoot than rafay would.  Yes rafay might be scum,  but at this point I just feel the risk outweighs the reward, as all we have to go on right now is one result of MK being scum, and like three total people out of 10 of us actually making an effort to scum hunt...

It's mafia rule #1. Rafay calls you a racist and scum if you vote for him.

It's mafia rule #1. Rafay calls you a racist and scum if you vote for him.

and 99.99% of the time, the vote on him is warranted lol 

also, still waiting to see why Rafay thinks robert is most likely scum

 

id be willing to wager my entire warchest its because robert placed an lolz vote on him D1 when rafay called TW racist lol

I mainly put my vote on him to ruffle his feathers. Glad to see it worked.

the last person I would try to protect is rafay lol

That's what scum would want us to think.

I laughed way too hard at this.

The unfortunate thing about this game is that there is no traditional scum hunting to do. There are no night actions to question people about. Basically all we have to work with is "I'm going to suggest we shoot X because they were scum in the last 26 games that we played together" or "I'm going to vote for Rafay because he's always scummy" or "you're a racist for sort of maybe considering me to be scum once".

 

The best that we can do is encourage everyone to participate in the discussion even though it's like one large game of day 1's. As a general rule, scum try to avoid drawing attention to themselves. This is generally done by 1) skirting by with minimum post count until sort of pressed on it, 2) trying to stay in the middle of the post count where you are less likely to stand out either way, or 3) posting but never really commenting on contentious issues in order to avoid getting pressed on them.

 

I'm almost wondering if Kevin's GE stock price method is the best way to continue unless something crazy happens.

 

@Kevin - I know that your day 1 shot was going to be a total shot in the dark, hence the "random" method you used, but what are your thoughts moving forward for how we should continue to proceed? Your input will be valuable here in case you hit a townie with your next shot.

We haven't really heard from SM or Lachiton recently. Any thoughts?

Correct. SM is usually active but now this game, nothing.... 

It is ultimately up to Kevin. He shot one scum already. I'm sure he'll think of something.

I know SM is on vacation right now, as for Lachiton, not sure where he is

Most of some peoples post count are discussing who isnt active, so i thought id join in lol

 

SM where are you!!!!

she left on a jet plane. Don't know when she'll be back again. 

Rafay, can you please accept my aid?

 

I have to ping you here since this is the only place you pop up.

Sorry CM

More like I didnt expect the game to restart this quick.

Most are posting fluffs with the exception of brewers and TW who are doing some "investigative" work. I would just say these two seem town to me at this point and should not be considered for the 2nd shot. 

Coming back to Rafay, MK did try to divert attention to him but IIRC he backtracked as soon as he became uncomfortable with the questions. IMO since scum can communicate throughout the day, if he was trying to buss Rafay then he would stuck to his stand. This makes me feel Rafay is town and not because he will label me as racist otherwise lol.

 

Robert is posting a lot but he is constantly asking basic questions about the set up which he could have gathered from the OP. To me it seems like trying to show that he is active without directing traffic in any way, a perfect scum strategy. So he is on my suspects list.

 

As for me if you haven't figured out I am town then either you're not paying attention or you're scum.

Boy, I went offfor a spa day, and look what happened! Wtg, Kev!!!

 

I need to catch up with reading now. But new working theory for future games I play, SBG or MK are always scum.

 

she left on a jet plane. Don't know when she'll be back again. 

You are so cute, Robert! Seriously. Back to reading.

New post:

 

Brewsky is correct, I am on vacation in sunny San Diego. Thanks for letting everyone know. I thought that was known because you’re all psychics (could have sworn I mentioned it, but clearly I’m mistaken so I’m going with insisting that you’re all psychics and should haven known).

 

with popcorn format, it’s impossible for me to pick up scum vibe. Tbh, I always think MK acts scummy, but he is dead scum, so I can’t finger him (ewwww! dead corpse body fingering!)

 

The only person I feel is town is Lach, for obvious reasons. Other than that I get no read on anyone. However, Rafay, is posting a lot more than usual. Why is that? Has he changed his styl3 since the I took a break from playing a while ago? Genuinely curious about that.

Since rafay and lach seem to have all the answers, by all means, tell me something else that I don't know. I'm not familiar with this set up or the rules and playing by ear. But if your streched to find reasons to paint me in a bad light, by all means. I wonder why you are so familiar unless it was explained to you exactly what happens in your scum chat then by all means. However, I don't consider myself an expert on the events. If your only reason of trying to get me shot is because I ask questions on stuff I don't know, it's rather sad. I don't consider rafay cleared just because mk died. I think it's a rookie mistake. only time I trust someone is if they are confirmed by my role, or by a cop.
