I think this makes sense and is a good point. This makes me more inclined to let Jabber stick around for a while to see what he actually thinks, as I'm aware that this encouragement of "ignore X" has been a useful kickstarter in the past. Though then apparently his best vote was Camo, which just confuses this whole thought for me. >_> <_<
Maybe his focus was on Camo because every time he spoke in thread Camo felt the need to attract his attention? Might mean he didn't formulate reads on other players as actively as he ideally would have otherwise done.
I don't think what you saying is very fair. Quote Jabberwock: "I reckon I understand enough of the game to know how most new players play. There were a few in Melee, and I've gone back to look through older threads, and I can get a general idea from how the rest of you imply new players play.". Sure, anyone can do that, but looking up how a new player plays is quite odd and can easily be caused by scum trying to blend in and/or getting advice. Jabber was also doing scummy things by that time, hence why this conclusion made more sense and why I voiced my opinion on it.
I can see why you think it's a good point, but it just doesn't convince me. You're still saying that Jabberwock is scum for, if we believe him, taking the time out to look through older threads (most likely before Melee since I seem to recall him mentioning something similar in that game) to make sure he's not lynched. That just doesn't make sense to me. It's possible scum coaching, sure, but it's more likely to just be good werewolf initiative IMO.
Or that, you know, they just chose not to use them/forgot them/couldn't use them. I myself have a restriction on my ability usage.
Scum don't forget to use abilities; they have a QT to remind them to do so, and nights are 3 days long in this game I think, which is more than plenty of time.
Celever, we're talking PMD, and a drunk walker is mentioned. The identity of the guy is about as obvious as that of the guy who says "Yup yup" all the time. And stop trying to hang everything on Camo, it's getting boring. Camo never oppressed Jabberwock. It's a forum game, if someone needs to say something, they can do it. Nobody prevents them from talking by interrupting them. Jabberwock could write one good post instead of five meaningless ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm nowhere near convinced that Camo is town. But again, those reasons make no sense. The only real reason so far is his ability.
Based off what I remember from last game this seems off. I'll read back. It almost feels coached.
The first time Jabber tried to help out Camo told him he was "being coached" and threw immediate suspicion on him. I just don't think this helps our cause and it makes him disheartened and not want to continue trying to contribute, which is the point I was trying to make to bb about his whole "possible scum coaching" scumtells too.
And you wanna talk about broken abilities, talk about that Eternal Ghost. This is seriously one of the most broken abilities I've seen in a game if it's true. It basically gives the town an immune confotown and a definitely innocent vote. Jabberwock's posts are quite incriminating, but this... this is something else. Worse, it actually fits with the hint of living forever in the flavor (damn Duskull and his quotes), so I find it hard to completely disregard it.
Quite similar to Slowking in Teal's game, right? Town inno child who was essentially immune to the nightkill for 3 days, though only because they were going to die on Night 3 anyway. Sure, Duskull is a confirmed town voice if he gets lynched which is really useful to have around, but townies are wrong a lot, so I don't see it as being any more useful than townies dishing out a reads post a couple hours before they get, for whatever reason, lynched.
There's also probably some day actions as well, since Yeowie was able to scout for ability usage during the day, as well.
Probably one or two, but because Yeowie could scout for ability usage during the day as well, it means that there still can't be huge amounts of scum with day actions, or at the very least it'd have to be relative to the amount of town abilities during the day. How often you can use abilities in this game does seem to be somewhat restricted (I can of course only use my ability once and when 2 townies are lynched in a row, which is a good example) but scum having these restrictions are a lot more swingy.
