Calling out **pedescribe** ’s slip isn’t that scummy I think, but since the slip could mean: 1) the color was cool, 2) he got a cool role (not specifically town or scum, just a with day/night action), I don’t see the reason to vote for him.

What do you all think of the people involved in the ‘tell your target’ plan?

Bad strategy isn’t a scum tell people say, but the second line quoted comes after two posts from **Storyteller** the game has started and the first vote is cast.  
**Rapier42** replies that ‘This is an awesome idea’, reason for **Pleonast** to vote for him.

The idea gets modified to only naming the target or even just last Nights target.  
Another interesting post:

It’s flawed, but let’s do it anyway?  
Today’s posts from **Chucara** include ‘How to figure out power roles have alpha/beta status’ (why not if scum do?) and [masons should breadcrumb](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10593332&postcount=21) (though not sure I interpret that right).

Still **Chucara** is just suggesting strategies, while **Pleonast** supported a bad one while pointing out that similar strategies were not a good idea.
