    Acting scummy, as a scum:

    I intentionally made myself a top suspect as a mafia in Prometheus, and after I died, I went into full on scummy mode. What I did was I played the talkative, accusatory inquisitor and even under repeated threats of death I did not alter my strategy. It took 4 turns before town decided I was more trouble than I was worth.

    I never intended to survive the game, my intention was to be a distraction, and that's where I succeeded. Early on people had locked onto seireikhaan as a suspect, Ichigo in particular, and others followed suit. I forget when, but Reenk Roink had also become a suspect in many people's minds, and both had come close to being lynched.

    I accused seireikhaan of being mafia, and I had an adversarial relationship with Reenk Roink. Finally, town lynches me, and I "reveal" that I am the leader of this cult, and that we are a cult of virtue and enlightenment. My argument was so convincing, a townie decided to seriously entertain my stated explanation for the game, and instead of seireikhaan that round there was a huge bandwagon on Chaotix.

    Later, YLC had started to tell the town to look for clues in my posts, and that immediately made him a suspect too, and he was the final lynch.

    My teammates deserve most of the credit; seireikhaan had asked me to be my usual supertownie self and gave me good advice, and had been one of the masterminds behind Reenk's role reveal which kept him alive for an astounding number of rounds after we had died, and Reenk's solo performance was outstanding. My small part was simply this: Distract town as long as possible, and after my death, use the powers of persuasion to get town to kill themselves even though they knew I was a scum. I had no idea if it would work, but amazingly it did for at least one townie, and that did delay seireikhaan's death for a few rounds.

    Here's some of the quotes in the early game:

    YLC's reaction when I finally died... town chose between me and chaotix for the tie, and was frankly surprised I was scum.

    And my postmortem speech;



    Note the bolded part. The entire speech is a subtle argument to let the mafia win. And then:



    And town's reaction:





    Massive bandwagon, and chaotix dies instead of khaan. And for a time, Chaotix redeems himself because he is now convinced of my partner's guilt, but due to the fact that no one believed he was innocent anymore, they ignored khaan and Reenk.



    YLC is the next to suggest people listen to my words, even if they don't believe them;



    And town's reaction:



    YLC and White_Eyes have an argument, and White eyes is convinced for the rest of the game that YLC needs to go. On the final lynch, the town chooses YLC over Reenk Roink, even though Reenk had revealed as a detective some 5 turns earlier and was still alive and "unable to investigate".

    Like I said, most of the credit goes to my teammates, because all that bluffing wouldn't have done diddley squat had they not taken the ball and run with it to the endzone. Eventually the town had finally decided to ignore me, so I was only partly and marginally responsible for the win.


    Still, there are times when acting scummy, as a scum, is to your advantage.

    I think that was the second game I ever played in.

    NOOOOOOO!

    My inglorious past, back to haunt me again!



    If it redeems me, I also was the one to peg Reenk for mafia early on, and kept having a scummy feeling about him long after his detective reveal.

    EDIT: to answer Sasaki's second question, there's a 50% chance. Easy probability.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    WELCOME TO AVSM
    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?
    You can sift through the penny jar
    ALL WILL BE CONTINUED

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I even mentioned that you pegged both Seireikhaan and Reenk in the same breath as being mafia.

    Were it not for your listening to me for that one fateful afternoon... you would have done magnificently that game. An almost flawless performance, suspecting both of them shortly after you died.
