Thanks PS - So yeah, I got HD and Stalker as scum with a JA or Dk symp. This is purely a guess, but based on the Dude and Shin being dead, that leads me to believe that. Going to read 41 through the present.
I think that Hd is scum, because of the 42 pages that I did read (didn't feel like reading 43-82)HD looked like a high posting middle of the road player trying to spam the thread and not be committal. As Bubba implied, in the past, before I learned to stop playing like scum when I was scum, I would do this and grab all kinds of attention whle my partner would talk all serious and be very helpful. This would cause the desired effect of distancing because I would be the high poster and he would be the lower to mid poster. If he got caught, I would always last longer, and vice versa. Now play the same as scum or town, this is good because i can get lynched as town and not be detrimental to the team, but when I am scum, everyone thinks I am playing like I am town. Meta is really useful to a professional killer.
As to why I think you, Stalker, are his partner, you fall in the second area of low to middling posts, very professional and serious and contemplative at times, but very little spam (again this is only reading the first 42 pages). I could pull quotes but that would take all night. So while you may say its gut, and it is, it is an educated hypothosis, based on how typical scum partners play, with the fact that HD is usually a spammer, but much more focused when he gets a couple of votes on him, but he seems to be shrugging them off, as "I may as well get lynched" (This isn't strawmanning HD, this is your attitude at the beginning of Day 2.) Alot of meta there, but the fucking game is played on meta, we are vets and know each other, I know HD plays better than he has been in this game because he sucks as scum. He tries too hard.
As to why I think DK or JA as symp - Honestly its blind fear of those 2 guys. Dk can talk his way out of a lynching better than any other player I know and JA can convince you that you are scum and get you to vote for yourself.(unless you convince him that you are a 3rd finder and get him to lynch a gaurd for ou, like in Obis game)
So there are my reasons.

I'm glad we both could give a lesser fuck about the others' opinion. It just happens to be "gut" based on someone up in the top 2 for lynching. Too easy Bubba. That's what I don't like about it.But, oh well. Have fun with that.Edit: I'm doing that non-quoting thing again. I guess I'm used to lesser activity. @Bubba obviously.
See, heres a point on that - he says "Too easy Bubba. That's what I don't like about it.But, oh well. Have fun with that."
THis is setting itself up for a self vote when 3 votes are needed to lynch late in the day. As scum this is a very easy and clasic move to bluff town into switching to someone else. This is what I used to do, hell occasionally I might go emo and still do it, but its too early. This is bad scum play. If you waited until you got 3 votes HD and then acted pissy and then resigned yourself to your fate, and THEN set yourself up for the self vote, you might have a better chance. But this sad emo HD this early in day 2 screams rookie mistake, like when I played in my first game as scum and said "If I die tonight..." rookie mistake, but the vets jumped on that. Thats what I am doing now.

My electricity keeps going off because of all the tornadoes and whatnot. If you don't hear from me for awhile, it'd probably be because of that and my laptop's shitty battery that is dead.
Same situation here, 2 tornados touched down within 30 miles of my house so far today, nothing major but the storm hasn't really gotten here yet. Hope your safe, and I will try to lynch you so you don't have ot worry about the power going out anymore.
Alright, I see where you are coming from. You are wrong, but it makes sense in terms of an argument. Let's be honest, the last 2 games I played in were the W40k game and the Mistborn game, so it has been awhile since you've played with me. I'd like to think that my style was always more towards the low-posting and serious side, engaging in the nighttime spam when waiting for mod decisions. By the way, if you were to read further into the spam, you would notice that I did make somewhat of a contribution of spam.
Besides as you noted with having one scum be the high-posting player taking all the attention, while the other flies under the radar, really is noob level scum tactics. Shit, that is how DiBs and I played it in my very first scum game, though I died night 1 lol. It has been several years since that first game.
