IGNORE THE FREAKING HYPO SCANS!?!!!

Ever wish you hadn't bothered?

I am still holding out hope that I am lauded as a game-breaking savior, but kind of expecting that I've ruined everything.

[brainbomb]

would scumteams coordinate their fake scans?

[Vecna]

I wasnt aware I had been particularly funny this game, but Ill take it i guess

[Vecna]

hey brainbomb, did you ever end up explaining why you were a bit mean to sweetandcool?

because he hurt my feelies

^ Point in time reference

These top 4 wagons are all lame. Like, this is the best we can do?

What would you like to see as the top wagons?

I'm pretty set on Dip or damo. Darg would also be a good wagon which is somehow absent.

Let's talk about Darg. What's the case? I'm ready to be convinced.

I'm glad to hear it.

I'm also aggravated that you want me to write it up yet again.

I am currently drafting a pretty big post and my tab dedicated to quoting is taken up, so you'll either have to wait for me to dredge up my old post or you can do it yourself.

You haven't been funny at all. It's an evil, maniacal laugh.

Okay cool. If you think the best reasons are already in the thread, under your name. I'll go find it.

[brainbomb]

would the mafia teams all have different scans or would they all do the same scan target to distance coordination

[Chaqa]

yes

So, I reviewed everything you said about Darg.

Pretty easy to sum up the case:

(1) Early poster;
(2) He cast an early vote on you that you call lazy, and then switched to Ham. And you think that the ove to Ham makes sense as an attempt to save Damo.

If there is anything else at all to this suspicion, please let me know. Seems to me, if this is what you think, you should try to flip Damo first, as your Darg suspicion is simply derivative of your Damo suspicion.

Also, I think your early poster theory is super silly, and a poor way to look at the game, but I feel like a lot of people have explained why and you haven't changed your view, so it probably doesn't make sense for us to get into an extended discussion of it.

You've seemed a bit less active than I normally would expect, especially in Day 2.

im asking a really simple question about motivations of scum players and you refused to acknowledge a question. I asked it twice. it isnt about scan results. its about coordinated scan choices. which 5 people chose me. im asking if you think that scum would coordinate to all scan the same person to distance, and claim that they would never all choose the same person.

I think the only part you didn't get quite right is that I think Darg moving off of me is the suspicion part and him protecting teammate damo is the speculation part.

It's possible my post doesn't make that clear, I would have to look and see. But that is my current stance on Darg.

I don't really have an opinion on that. I wouldn't rule out scum players as being teamed because they scanned the same target. I wouldn't expect them to chose the same target either. I have no expectations at all about what choices scum players might make for their hypothetical scans.

I can also see reasons why a player might choose you as a scan target (whether they are a Cop or not) because I chose you as my scan target.

I agree that the unlikeliness of everybody scanning you is notable. I'm not sure what to make of it.
