You will only get a positive scum result if you are insane and you scan a scum to get a non alien result.Bonatogether wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 12:58 amI don't see a need for a caveat unless you're ccing.damo666 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 12:03 amI think you are being truthful it is just a caveat to my statement.
I am not worried at all but I'm telling you now the result you'll get so the scan will have no value (until you prove you are insane).
I have suggested you scan Jamie to verify your status.
If you don't want to do that scan someone else you strongly suspect and hope you get non alien. Obviously if turn out to be paranoid the scan is perma-useless.

Go ahead scan me if you like, your result will be Area 51 and you will be none the wiser.
The caveat is just for completeness because what I am saying depends on your truthfulness of which I would say 98%+ certain. And of course I'm not ccing.

2) You tried to wagon me by asking loaded questions that assume I am scum. You're smart enough to know that is not how an argument works.
3) You seem desperate to not be scanned. Your argument presupposes knowledge that I can only gain by scanning you. You cannot seem to tell me why, using only information I have, I should not scan you.

Re: Mafia 65: Dreamland II [Hidden]
2. Asking loaded questions and not having any notable scumreads.
3. There are two possible chances that I am not deputy: that kgray is deputy, or that the actual deputy is still alive but has not cced. We can discount the first one because no information about the deputy had been released yet. The odds were very small that kgray was deputy, and it would be an enormous leap to claim that. The second option is theoretically possibly but extremely low probablity - why not counterclaim? Letting a scum be regarded as the main mechanical investigative is extremely dangerous.

Don't tell us who you're scanning, just scan.
Re: Mafia 65: Dreamland II [Hidden]
Right, but there's no reason to take that as face value. Bona's out, so he's not that likely to live long enough to get another scan after Jamie. Not wanting to be scanned isn't necessarily scummy if you know your scan won't be useful, but the rest of us don't, and it does seem like scanning an unknown is the call.damo666 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 1:23 amEveryone who knows my alignment knows I will scan as Area 51.

Scum!Macca who luckily got the Area-51 pass item *knows* who else is on the actual scum-team and would *know* that I was not scum, so could perfectly safely expose me with the scan claim and try to get towncred for doing it.
Did you think about that?

Re: Mafia 65: Dreamland II [Hidden]
Damo. We started with 21 players including you, so that's 20 possible suspects for you to consider. 5 people have died, all town, leaving you 15 suspects.
Of that pool of 15 suspects, do you have no scumreads at all? If so, why do you think that is?

Re: Mafia 65: Dreamland II [Hidden]
Pay attention. Bona scanned himself and got an "Area-51" result. This is impossible if he is the Deputy unless he is Paranoid or Insane.
Damo is saying he believes Bona's claim and is asserting that he is the same alignment as Bona. Thus he would also return an "Area-51" result if Bona scans him.
Do you see?
