Chronos, were you honest about your vote program results? Now that you’re finally revealed as scum, I suspect you doctored them. Also, how come you never ever built a case against me after revealing your results “showing” me as most scummy? That was what set my mind against you. Wolverine - I picked you because you and Chronos had voted together. Suburban then clearly wasn’t scum. Plus, I’d been suspicious of you early on, and the vote just finally confirmed it for me. ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > Wolverine - I picked you because you and Chronos had voted together. Suburban then clearly wasn’t scum. Plus, I’d been suspicious of you early on, and the vote just finally confirmed it for me. I was afraid of that. I tried to discredit Chronos’ vote, but clearly I didn’t do a good enough job. Congratulations on the win. Hopefully next time we will be on the same team and then I don’t have to go up against you again. 🙂 ---

You played very well, though. I was leaning pretty town on you after I stopped building my case on you. ---

While I’m waiting for spoiler board access… Scum, why did you kill me? The Town was just positively _itching_ to lynch me, and if I had survived that Night there is an oustanding chance I’d have been lynched the next Day. I was gearing up for a protracted siege when I saw that you’d saved me from it. ---

> [@storyteller0910](#): > > While I’m waiting for spoiler board access… > > Scum, why did you kill me? Well I mean, they have to, at some point, right? Oh, and you claimed too… So I think the answer is at the intersection here. * * * So basically, I was put on the hook early because the rest of town claimed Vanilla. \*\* SUPERB PLAY TOWNIES. \*\* :rolleyes: ---

I don’t think you mean Pleo. He was the investigator, I was the blocker. I registered with an older Internet handle as a bit of protection in case somebody tried out their Google-fu. The main reason I had to put in conditional block orders was that the Night ran 3PM ET Thursday to 3PM ET Saturday – and I was not available for the second half of that, ever. So much discussion about whom to kill would take place after I had gone offline for Shabbat. Hence, I had to put in a block order based on a to-be-determined kill order. And Mahaloth wouldn’t let me proxy my order. That said, I had a power vibe on Meeko after Night 2. If I’d actually, ya know, played Days 2 and 3, I may have pushed for killing you. For my Day 1 play, how’d I do my first time as Scum? Great next to last Day, townies. I thought we had you. ✊ ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Pleonast, why didn’t you claim on Day One? Fake claim, obviously. That would be telling. 😃 > [@Meeko](#): > > I’m not following Pleonast in the scum board. > > How on earth can a block be conditional!? > > Block the kill target, if it is raining today, but if it is partly cloudy, sing the alphabet backwards in Russian. > > What the fck!? > > How and Why can scum be THAT choosy with the role? Most moderators will let players with powers describe how they’ll use their powers based on events they’ll know about in the game before they happen. Because sometimes a player can’t be online again before the deadline will happen. At least I think that’s what you’re asking about. ---

Quoth **Astral** : > [@](#): > > Chronos, were you honest about your vote program results? Now that you’re finally revealed as scum, I suspect you doctored them. Also, how come you never ever built a case against me after revealing your results “showing” me as most scummy? That was what set my mind against you. Actually, I was completely honest with the results, and with my reasons for not initially using them (and then using them again later). As of when I first posted results, we had done enough bussing that the actual Scum team didn’t show up as a legitimate possibility in the results, but then by the time I revisited them, our voting record had gotten Scummy enough again to show up. And the reason I didn’t build a stronger case against you or **Suburban** the first time was simply that I found I didn’t have enough time-- I’d forgotten how long it takes to construct a WoW. > [@](#): > > Wolverine - I picked you because you and Chronos had voted together. Suburban then clearly wasn’t scum. Plus, I’d been suspicious of you early on, and the vote just finally confirmed it for me. And this, in a nutshell, is also why my program suspected you and **Suburban** , because you were voting so similarly (and avoiding each other). Incidentally, my confidence in my program is now sufficiently low that, absent major revisions to it, it’s probably not worth it for me to even do the prep work on it. Quoth **Storyteller** : > [@](#): > > While I’m waiting for spoiler board access… > > Scum, why did you kill me? The Town was just positively itching to lynch me, and if I had survived that Night there is an oustanding chance I’d have been lynched the next Day. I was gearing up for a protracted siege when I saw that you’d saved me from it. Well, we knew you were a power role, and that made you a threat, and it was also becoming increasingly apparent that the game was a replay of Harry Potter, thus effectively open, and thus all power roles would be confirmed by lack of counterclaim, hence making you even more of a threat. Being eventually-confirmed and also having a power made you the highest priority target. ---
