Also, I want to add about BT's question-on-my-question -
"Once this game is done I'd like to have a chat with people about these supposedly 'scummoves'. I don't consider myself a new player but these trend things are new to me. I also don't think they're made up - Kilga's explanation makes good sense. If I had known about it, I would have voted DNA instead of just dropping vote. I feel like I wasted a lot of time and distracted people for no reason. So it's annoying for me to think that there was a better thing to do and I just didn't know about it because I was genre blind. "
This was an honest question. Throughout this whole game I saw many strange things where people said 'oh this is towny' and 'oh this is scummy'. Like, for example, Raikaria dropping his vote and not making a new case for it.
As scum, I was shocked. I want to break open this whole 'scumtell' thing. I had to learn really fast - it was such a surreal experience. I had to post things carefully and think 'now will this look like a scumslip? Or is it too towny?' because people started saying I was too tryhard town. But it was shocking for me because when I play scum, I imagine that I am an actual towny trying to find the scum team. So I legitimately thought "Why aren't people buying it?" It wasn't just that people were reading my stuff and going 'oh he is scum'. I felt like my points were being ignored for some reason. Now later in the game, I realise partly it was because Kilga had an active role so knew he had been sabotaged.
I want to question these so called scumtells. Relying on them nearly got me killed on day 1, which is a big plus. I guess it's not always right but it only has to be right a few times a game to win for town.
Lastly, why do you self vote as town? You know you are town, you should never vote for yourself! Raaargh.
