I think, having experienced the scum role again after such a while, that I'd like to reiterate a sentiment
Playing mafia is a sort of social contract you enter for a small number of weeks. Some people don't like town, some people don't like scum, but surely everyone has to like either if not both to be willing to play this game
But you can't have a game of mafia without either. So if you're not a huge town fan, it still obliges you to read most if not all posts, answer any questions you catch, and share your thoughts as best you can as appropriate [rdrivera is an excellent example of someone who finds this balance despite his clearly filled timetable]. Likewise as scum, it's your job to give people something to ponder when playing a deduction game. Sure it can be hard and unpleasant when accusations are constantly leveled against you (another reason why I think we should back off scum suspects a bit) but when the game just becomes shooting in the lurker barrel it diminishes everything this game stands for
Not to be too pretentious about it, nor to target anyone in this game; I think most would agree this is something that happens in most games. But I think an environment where a) the scum tries their best and b) the town allows the scum team some breathing room to full enjoy their own part would do this community a lot of good

Maybe Tom." for the last slot :p ), I had it up for a few days, but the scan of damo destroyed a theory behind it (tbf I suspected damo the least) and the behaviour of Sabi did throw me a bit too. I suspected PE to maybe be Godfather until the end, but I had some doubts there. Not playing makes you kinda stuck on a read though.
Also, I hate it that I read it all and couldn't participate in anything, posting things to god qt isn't the same. Need to play in the next I think, more time to sus PE (what, he is gm? that doesn't mean he isn't mafia!).
Additionally, I want to praise Bona in this game, maybe I had a wrong picture but I really liked most if not all of his posts, Bona surely positively surprised me.
Also thank you bunny for somehow being able to read my mind and voice some of my theories (sorry if my brain waves disturbed you. And no, there was no digital or somewhat contact, I just point out that bunny and I had some thoughts that were the same).
Just some more things I want to share:
Chaden. Definitely.
contrary to the wishes of some of the british, they are still part of Europe
at least for some million years (plate tectonic) or adequate scientific knowledge (terraforming)
White mage ... no, thief ... well both or a mix between of them, optimally, but I mostly play healer myself.President Eden wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:34 pm
CHOOSE YOUR CLASS:
--> FIGHTER
THIEF
MONK
REDMAGE
W. MAGE
B. MAGE
Ahhh, my evil/good twinbrother strikes again, I kinda wanted this here. Guess I'll take the thief role then. Or maybe the mix, like a bard or something fitting? But then I might not level into the ninja prestige class, hmm ...
Anyway, there is a gaming group I've heard? Paradox games, maybe strategy games? CK2 isn't my most played game (kinda only since it was free but I've watched some hours of gameplay before so I kinda get the general gist but might be the weakest player) but I'm interested if you'd have me. EU4 much prefered.

that's why I prefer to refer to the group as 'mafia' not 'scum' because I think the last one has too many negative inclinationssnowy801 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 2:23 pm[...]
