Not much progress since I went offline. Let me first clear the post made to me before I go on scum hunting
You are mixing two different response of mine.
Below is the post I didn't like
Below is the response I liked that is "you admitting that you were diplomatic instead of brushing it aside"
It's picking up reactions which sometimes can get nit picky but I am reasonable enough to understand on what to follow up and what not to just like when I asked tac about flower, but I didn't follow up on it after tac and you gave answer that it was just a joke which made sense to me
You already answered it but read Below for detail answer
Its simple. Read the following passage. The whole passage is important but I highlighted the some thing important in blue.
This is from wiki
"
In Throne of Lies, there are two distinct enemy factions: the Cult and the Unseen, but only one faction will appear in any game. Before members of the Blue Dragon can eliminate the opposition, they must determine which faction they are up against.
Both the Unseen and Cult factions have the power to convert their enemies into allies. Even a trusted friend that has already been vetted by your abilities can become an enemy. The Blue Dragon must always be suspicious.
The Unseen will always start the game with an Assassin and The Mastermind. The Cult will always have a Cult Leader and a second loyal subject.
Now, let me jot down the highlighted part
1)only one faction out of Cult and unseen would be part of the game. But what's more interesting is to note that from wiki one can infer that game will start with either of evil faction having "TWO PLAYERS" - assassin and Mastermind in case of unseen and cult leader and second loyal subject in case of cult.
now, in general Mafia we played, mafia usually starts with fixed quota and are 3-4 in numbers. But in this game this isn't the case and evil faction will most likely start with two people and number can increase.
Now, you are right that Mafia pulling off this scum buddying tactic would be unlikely but first of all this isn't mafia and second, that's what made me question them "because it could be seen as unlikely to us that it could be pulled off" especially when evil faction will start only with two players as highlightled above and players involved are far more experience than anyone of us here.
Also, questioning anyone doesn't amount to seeing them as scum. We need to question everything instead of assuming that this can't happen.
Also, you guys have overlooked this post of mine where I kind of cleared al of scum buddying due to his meta being consitent but this became possibile for me only after getting reactions from him.
It's Only by repeated questioning and seeing the reaction that we deduce how consitent someone meta is to pin point Scums.
