Wow, what a great first game - well played everyone, scum especially! No hard feelings. I’m totally going to go back and reread this thing at some point now that I have full information. Not sure when I’ll sign up for another one - this game sucks up time like there’s no tomorrow! Thanks for playing everyone! ---

Well done SpecialEd. I’m not sure how Septimus survived after changing his N1 protection target, claiming to have protected Hirka who was killed the same Night, and insisting on lynching one of the cop’s investigation targets without actually voting. ---

I play rather poorly as Town, so made sure I was still playing poorly as Scum. As to how I survived, its about [grammar](http://www.amazon.com/Glamour-Grammar-Mystery-Practical-English/dp/031602791X) == careful use of the subjunctive mood. :dubious: :smack: ---

Oh nuts. For once I was right about my suspects and I didn’t push hard enough ☹ I should have voted special ed for the tie, but I was less certain that he was scum than I was that septimus was scum. Good game everyone - and well done scum. ---

I had a good time for the first day. Perhaps I shouldn’t have jumped the gun and tried to use my ability on Night One though. Thanks, all for the game! 🙂 ---

So what exactly does a scum doctor do? Protect scum from SK kills? ---

Here’s the scum and set-up boards, at the bottom of the list: [Home | Secret Borde](http://notsogenericscum.proboards.com/index.cgi) > [@Svejk\_1](#): > > So what exactly does a scum doctor do? Protect scum from SK kills? Actually, this was a bit of a sly trick that I did. See, I wanted a game that had some power roles, but not too much actual power from the townies. I decided that a good way of getting that would be to have a cop without a doc to back him up. But without any sort of townie protective roles, they could get run over by two killing roles fairly quickly. So put in some sideways protection: a bodyguard to protect early game, and a backup to protect late game. Of course, if there’s a backup, there has to be an actual doctor to die for him to get the power. So I made that doctor scum. ---
