Add desperate exaggerations to hammering and mass-claim suggesting as scum-tells.
Hammering is not a scum tell in this community's meta. Honestly, when was the last time a mafia hammered a townie? I know it's traditionally seen as scummy because it benefits mafia to get townies lynched, but this community has put every single person who hammers town under a spotlight so I honestly don't remember the last time mafia has done it. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Also I honestly can't stand this whole deal some people do about how "LWW suggested an idea that isn't what we always do so he must be scum." The reason mass claiming is usually not allowed is because it benefits town since they obviously can just claim their honest role while mafia have to fake claim, which is a lot easier to mess up and get caught by vs town having to figure you out via normal means. You can say that you just don't like mass claiming on principle or something, but there is literally no reason for me to suggest it if I'm scum because it would just make it easier for me to get caught.
The "blatantly/blindingly obvious" evidence is that I moved my vote around to several players?
- I was humorously playing "follow the mod".
- I made an OMUG vote.
None of these votes put anybody in danger of lynching. If there was a player with some information, they could have added a vote to mine and it wouldn't be so obvious that they knew something.
This makes no sense whatsoever. For one, it's dumb that I'm scummy if I hammer Velocity "because it's funny", but you are definitely not supposed to be considered scummy for voting anybody and everybody for the same reason, even though tossing votes on people seemingly to try to get a lynch train going is actually scummy. On that note, I like that your justification of the votes is that it wasn't putting anyone in danger of being lynched, when that's exactly what it does. Sure, it's not as much danger as, say, you're in right now, but lynch trains can pick up very quickly as I'm sure you're aware. It only takes one vote for other people to pile on, and then if you're scum you basically got a townie lynched and a bunch of other people that will probably get suspected first. Oh and secondly, OMGUS votes are one of the oldest scum tells in the book. How are you even putting that here as some sort of defense that you're not being scummy? It boggles the mind.
Also, those aren't even all the scum tells you've made throughout the game. You kept doing your follow the mod thing even after it got a townie lynched - meaning at best it's random and at worst it indicates townies (probably eunuchs) instead of mafia - and then OMGUS voted me instead of justifying it when I pointed it out, and then unvoted and went back to doing it again. You stated that mafia have been blocked each night as fact even though no one has claimed any sort of protective role, which means you absolutely know something. Granted, it could mean you're one of the protective roles, if not the only one, but it could be equally possible that you're mafia and knew you kept getting blocked and forgot to not state it as fact, or maybe intentionally misrepresented what's been going on to confuse town into thinking it maybe has a chance to survive another mislynch. You ALSO did not scum hunt at all until just a few posts ago when you realized you might get lynched, and have ridden out joke votes and OMGUS votes the whole game, which is generally pretty solid scum strategy to skate by to a safe win.
You can OMGUS vote me (again) for calling you out on your scummy behavior all you want, and you can post whatever makes you feel like you're justifying it with actual analysis if that helps you feel like you're actually trying. None of that changes that the majority of your play has not benefitted town at all, and in some cases has been extremely suspicious if not outright beneficial to scum.
