Yes thanks, I might be interested. Either post here or send me a PM if another vacancy comes up, and I’ll try to get back to you quickly. Btw Cat, did you see my post on the spoilered board? ---

My play in this game sucked far worse than usual. I never had a chance to read the game thread, I didn’t have time / energy in the evenings to take part, and my day job had lots of stuff. Should I just stay the heck away from MafiaScum? ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > I think that having read that game is the primary reason why I always get a scummy vibe off of **Storyteller** in games since then. I know that, when he’s Scum, he looks just exactly like a Townie, so whenever he looks just exactly like a Townie, I always think he’s Scum. I’ve got a similar problem. In the five games I’ve played, I’ve triggered people’s Scum-dar every. single. time. In Werewolf: The Split, I was Eaten the first Night. In Insipid, I revealed as a mason the second Day. And in Lost, I nearly got lynched anyway. ---

I’m completely confused…seems like Town was on a brief roll there, but whoever the remaining scum are seem to be very well hidden. It strikes me that \*\*Drain Bead \*\*(2462) was _very_ quick to accept that \*\*Tom \*\*was Town based on what \*\*Oredigger \*\*reported the music box had told him. \*\*Scuba, \*\*I have no idea what the people who voted for you were thinking, and if I were still playing, I would want to go over that bandwagon with a fine-toothed comb. ---

**Thing Fish** , I’d appreciate a review of my playstyle in all five games, and some advice on how to improve it. (Which may include the mafiascum forum.) ---

Ya know, for once I think I want to be spoiled before the game is over. I think I’ve actually caught a game where either side could win, and it’d be fun to watch the game from the point of view of the scum. ---

For what it’s worth, **Scuba** , I didn’t think you scummy at all in Insipid. ---

Well, that was weird. I think I’ll take a spoiler board link since there doesn’t seem to be much discussion here. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > You don’t know the half of it. I’d say this game has been horribly unfair, but I don’t know who it’s been unfair to. It really did end up being twisted in all sorts of ways **pede** didn’t even intend. That could describe pretty much every game I’ve ever run, you know. Smash Bros ended up horribly twisted to the SCUM, T2 had a game clinching mass claim on Day 2, Crimson Glyph was nearly broken in half by mod-questions, and even Real Life people got unusually confused by the character powers. I believe that the only game I made where everything went pretty much as expected was Hamlet. Heck, even in The Split (which was supposed to be simple), the Rancher/Farmer divide ended up being completely underutilized by both townies and scum. Which is why I measure my games’ successes by how much people enjoyed them–by that measure, only The Crimson Glyph was a failure so far. And so far, by that measure, Screamers hasn’t been doing that bad. ---
