Generally wolves use it to set up mislynches on people when the person they associate with inevitably flips town because of their TMI.
Okay my theory is that if Arete is scum, one of Jgo or Magnus is also scum because they didnāt respond to my question earlier and they stalled to wait for permission to sus out their own scum mate. In this case I believe J would be the scum by association if this is a non conversion game
it becomes a dangerous game,
say someone is a moderate scumlean to you.
Someone else buddies them. That person is scummy to you, too? right?
well then what happens when another person buddies the buddier? or even more degrees to that?
What if the original person flips town? itās a dangerous game.
Then those associations are nullified and you get to redo your reads and re-examine everything ā itās healthy imo
yeah, but calling a person scum because they buddied with a buddy of a buddy of a scumread is dangerous.
also, luxyās point is way better
Well town need to think for themselves and think about how the connection exists or if it even does
Just look at LotrFM.
the whole reason you were shot is because i set up the idea of you being scum if boss flipped town.
Me: āIām at dinner right now and on mobile, Iāll answer when I get back and donāt have to try to Iso on mobileā
Tele: āoh my god Arete is scum for not immediately answering!!!ā
If you look through my Iso I already scumread Magnus anyway, I was basically just reiterating my read there. (Obviously this point doesnāt apply to Jgoes).
I told everyone why that connection made no sense and no one cared so w/e. Just be reasonable thatās all I ask from people
oh absolutely.
But you see what i am getting that. Calling X town if Y is scum, or any type of that, is a great way for wolves to get 2 myslynches
Thereās also a difference in my opinion between pre-flips like āif X is town, Y is sus for deathtunnelling them with bad logicā or āif X is scum, Y is sus for defending them with bad logicā and pre-flips like āIām townreading Sulit because theyāre pushing Solic, Priestess, and Arete, who are scummy.ā
even competent town can be duped.
You get my point. pre-flip associaitions can often be sinister, so beware
