> [@Enderw24](#): > > Pleonast, while I’m not saying Thing Fish couldn’t be scum, I’ll admit that early in Day 1, I too made the assumption that the other factions have boards to discuss strategy. I don’t recall if anyone specifically called me out on it, though. I realized afterwards that the rules do not specifically state that to be the case. But it seemed like a natural assumption to make given my experience that every other game I’ve played in allows scum to participate off-site and I can’t fault others for leaping to the same conclusion. If your experience has been different, I can understand your suspicion. Please reread my argument: > [@Pleonast](#): > > Second, the “scum advising your teammates on how to play and/or hinting to them that you are that seventh guy who didn’t show up to chat”. While Scum roles do not include teammate information, we have no indication whether or not their secret boards include teammate information. But **Thing Fish** does know that. We _do know_ that each Scum team has a secret board in this game. We _do not know_ what information is contained there. **Thing Fish** has implicitly stated that each secret Scum board _does not state_ who is on that team. It is impossible for anyone not Scum to know that. Thus, **Thing Fish** is Scum. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Repeating for better signal to noise: **What players will potentially be subjected to moderator action at the end of Day 2 due to lack of participation?** --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-two/777425)._
