    Was it a scum tell to consider the consequences of actions?

    Do you mean to be wary of a town witch hunt if you were to vote for a player you find scummy but they end up being town? I don't consider that suspicious, it's a reasonable concern. Whether I'm town or mafia, I never want to get lynched by a town witch hunt/bandwagon.

    I have been town before where I voted for another town member for what I considered good reasons and then ended up getting shot or lynched the next day after their flip for what I considered mostly bad reasons. It does irk me when that happens to anyone. Especially when it's a cycle of lynching town members for jumping onto bandwagons.

    The real unfortunate bit is figuring out whether Mojo is actually scum in order to take action on it. If he is and I end up voting for him/firing a shot, then that's good points for me which will help the team. But if he's not, then that's one town down and suspicious points for me. It's about 50/50 for me because Mojo is known to say and play erratically.

    I know I don't speak for everyone, but I think it's a scum play to consider something a "good" action only as long as the result is pro-town. Let's say we ended up lynching Orange and he flipped town. I would not condemn anyone just for voting him. I'd have to find some indication that they voted him with ill intent or that they made their vote with the seeming foreknowledge that he was going to flip town.

    The same goes for shooting somebody. If somebody were to shoot Mojo for a good reason (ex. he threatened to shoot you) and he flipped town I wouldn't consider the shooter suspicious. If somebody just up and shot Mojo for no good reason and he flipped town then I'd be suspicious of the shooter.

    In my honest opinion, too much weight is put on the outcome of an action in our games. It's one thing I've been able to exploit in the past to cast suspicion on a town player as mafia. In general, only mafia know who everyone is (at least in the sense of mafia/not-mafia). But that doesn't mean that anyone who has a hand in killing a town player knew they were town and acted maliciously.

    What I'm getting at is that we shouldn't necessarily be voting Mojo just to get a flip and use that flip to figure out if somebody is "suspicious". If we think he's scum, then let's lynch him. If we don't, then let's not. I think he's scum, I've given what I obviously believe to be good reasons for that, and others have contributed with their own reasons (good and bad). If anyone thinks that Mojo isn't scum or there's a player who is more likely scum (or even wants to argue for nolynch), then let's discuss that.

    Jumped on the Mojowagon. While I don't like Orange's gunblazing, i doubt scum would shoot first. iLTS looks like he hopped on the gunwagon, which lights all the wrong bulbs for me. I saw a post somewhere saying iLTS' shot was justified because Mojo threatened him, but I can't remember it and i can't be arsed to look. If anyone's shot was justified today, it was Mojo's, who hasn't shot at all.

    Excuse me, I believe I started the Mojowagon. Orange and Chop were the ones to hop on (though Chop seemed to have done so jokingly). And Mojo did indeed threaten to shoot me, so I shot him.

    An open role list naturally leads to the assumption those roles are in game.

    So far we have two players claiming this is not the case, so does that mean any of the mafia roles were removed, or do we still have to worry about them being in game?

    Have you considered that one (or both) of those players are lying?

    She immediately regretted the action, and agreed that she should be voted up for having done in. In other words, she felt guilty over it.

    That reads to me as either believing she made a grave mistake as town or scum. I actually read that more as town, I'd figure there'd be somebody talking with her to plan it if she were mafia.

    Really? I thought Louis shot Mojo too.

    But this doesn't really change anything. I think Louis is town. Scum shouldn't shoot first.

    To be fair, I have pulled off plenty of successful scum gambits because people believed "scum shouldn't do that". I don't suspect Louis right now, but I'm not going to write her off as town because she did something that scum "shouldn't" do.
