OK, so I did that, and MacGarnacle was pretty early on the wagon, so that's nice.
Other things of note: PPS pushed VERY hard against Jake's lynch. I know he's already gotten ahead of this point, but seriously, everyone, go look. It's bad.
This could be useful:
Then lynch me. Your a basically asking me to defend my self from something and I don't know what that is. It's like asking someone to stop a sneak attack when they have no idea that there is one plus it won't matter if I defend myself because you guys will lynch me anyways. Tell me why you think I'm scum and I'll defuse those reasons with logical answers
i'm not telling you to defend yourself, i'm telling you to come up with reasons that you ought to be alive. in spite of what the case with calamitas would lead you to believe, the reasons for lynching someone are not always gonna be how much they seem scum; if you're only gonna spend time defending yourself, then you aren't very useful for town. if you can succinctly defend yourself and then provide concrete reasons for why other people seem (un)suspicious then you will be an asset. presumably, everyone can respond logically to some arguments against them, regardless of alignment, and there's some things to which one can't respond logically to (e.g. posts giving some sort of bad impression, suspicion cast by nightkills, etc.)
First of all their was 8 to start with and then there was 5 modifications that turned 5 into PRs so
8-5=3
it says that the modifications all have a 50% chance of being present, in bold
Well one person I'm pretty sure is scum is McGarnacle because during D-1 he and SA had a beef and on N-1 SA ends up dead. I'm also confindent that LaLight is scum but that's just how I feel not a lot of proof the third person who is mafia is pps due to having no clear side that he is on for anything or Haddock due to the fact that all of his posts are kind of aminous and pps and Haddock are constantly fighting so I think one is the third scum
I reckon new scum puts exactly one partner in their scumlists. So, PPS/MacGarnacle/Lalight, I reckon exactly one scum in those three.
also,And why would the mafia bother killing a vanilla townie when then have a 80% chance of killing a PR?
where are we getting that figure from, eh?
This could be a legit scumslip, I guess. Seems reasonably unlikely - it would rely on the setup having been rolled with all 5 modifiers, which is a smallish chance even with SA's flip.
Schadd looks bad. This was clearly a manufactured townslip, and this could well be schadd trying to help manufacture it.
I'm calling on everyone not voting for Jake to explain to me why. (Jake need not participate.)
decline.
Eww.
It is my firm belief that Jake is not scum. Over the Internet, I think he'd be a halfway decent liar. However, I think I can explain to you exactly why Jake isn't scum. This might be slightly offensive to Jake but I think that deflating his ego will be beneficial overall.
Let's go, guys.
Before we start I just want to point out that I know Jake really flippin' well. I don't think this is cheating but I've been hanging out with him for years. I'd like to think that I can analyze him pretty well.
Just a FYI, Jake would not listen to any coaching in the scum QT.
Another FYI, if he's scum we'll know at a certain point. Like D4 it'll become SUPER obvious.
Anyway, I have 2 strong points: His age and his claim.
Back when I started playing Mafia, I was some dorky kid. I'm still some dorky kid, but i'm just now realizing that was exactly a year ago. Oh how time flies!
You guys aren't taking into account the fact that Jake is young and new to Mafia. If those two things aren't combined, it doesn't really matter (I'm young and a functional member of the town, Calamitas is new and super duper good.)
But Jake is going to play wayyyyyyy different. And that's going to be read as scummy. #differentisnotbad
My second point is that he claimed VT. Now, I'm pretty sure this is an Asher9++ setup, but I don't understand those at all. I literally have no idea how this setup gets determined. All I know is that it's popular and balanced.
It's no surprise to me that Jake claimed
Never mind, I just thought about it and that point is moot.
So how else do I defend Jake? I don't know.
But the point is that you should listen to me. Jake hasn't been super helpful but that doesn't mean he's not town. I say back off and let the game run its course. Jake will probably slip up if he is scum.
*Drops mic*

This isn't brilliant either. But it's very RR, I don't think he wins the most-egregious-defense-of-Jake award. That goes to either schadd or PPS.
I still very much like my schadd vote.
