Old hat scum usually know how to avoid them. But there are a lot of players on this site who've never played with jeep and in many instances aren't aware of his tells until someone (accurately) accuses them of them. I know I've been in a game in which scum was correctly pinched by jeep's tells in the last month. I think your point is a good one, that they aren't as useful as they used to be, but I think they still have a good deal of value, especially against relatively new players.d8P wrote:tss: If, by "scum tells", you mean analysing the deaths á la Jeep's wiki article, that's old hat. When exposed, they were interesting, but now they're worse than useless - scum know to avoid them.
Huh? Why couldn't there be two or more Niska remaining? Unless you are a Niska goon, that seems like a silly comment to make.d8P wrote:I stand by my prediction - I don't think there can be any two-person mafia group left. Unless BJ is setting up a role claim for himself for later, I think it's safe to leave Iammars alone. They're not working together.
Yeah, I agree. Usually if you have 2 scum groups in a game this size, average is that they're both 3 person scum groups. I'd like you to explain your comments there.Thok wrote:Huh?

unvote Iammars, vote D8P
I also want to hear more on this.d8P [277] wrote:I stand by my prediction - I don't think there can be any two-person mafia group left.
Why would you- just when the Iammars bandwagon received 2 new voters- think it would be about to end?d8P [cont.] wrote:<snip>But it seems to me tss is trying to set up the next bw before this one ends.<snip>
Aw, thanks. For the record, I’d like to think I’m enthusiastic even when I’m scum and desperate. Not that I am *ever* desperate. Or scum.d8P [cont.] wrote:<snip>Emp is pushing hard for Iammars' lynch. This could mean he's scum and desperate or he's enthusiastic. I've only played with him once, but he was definitely enthusiastic. I'd like to keep him around.<snip>
On a similar note, why 3-person groups?Yosarian2 [280] wrote:Yeah, I agree. Usually if you have 2 scum groups in a game this size, average is that they're both 3 person scum groups. I'd like you to explain your comments there.
Scum tell #1. Being overly vocal in his hurrays at the deaths of scum.d8P wrote:Coolish. So far a blue sun operative, a bounty hunter hired by the sun group and a Niska mafia have died.
Scum tell #2. Probably misleading assertion regarding number of scum in a group: most games make their non-SK scum groups evenly matched wrt numbers, and the typical number is three as that usually gives a reasonable town/total scum balance.I'd say there is probably only one more Blue operative left, and probably one more Niska, no doubt the GF as Vis was a goon.
And yet... you didn't.When exposed, they were interesting, but now they're worse than useless - scum know to avoid them.
