VOTE: m2h
So originally my brain thought that m2h was doing a weird wolf Gambit to get a ring from someone after I made my post about having no rings = effectively not counting for parity. Which felt like a bit too many hoops to jump through for him to be scum so I said nothing
But on review today at work I realized he probably just has a ring with scum powers he didn’t feel like claiming and he never read setup info.
Probably just lock scum.
You think scum would just claim they have no rings in their first post? I dunno, my gut tells me that rather and try to openly fish for rings/mechanical information, scum would probably just try to hammer or NK anyone they have a strong power read on in order to get desirable rings.
How does M2H normally play as town and scum?

Urist:
There are three Agents of Sauron and ten Loyal Eldar. These are the mafia and town respectively.
The win condition for the Agents of Sauron is to return all of the Rings to Sauron. I will explain how this happens later. The Agents of Sauron were given a list of the names of the Rings in play, but they do not know who received them or what they do.
Each player has started the game with at least one Ring. All 19 Rings are in play, so some players have received multiple.
Each player has at least one passive ability. No player has an intrinsic active ability - that’s what the Rings are for.
Each Ring can be used to perform a night action. The number of night actions you can perform is equal to half of the number of Rings you possess, rounded up. There is no limit to the number of Rings a player can possess at once.
Using a Ring will afflict you with Ring-corruption. The first point will reveal to the Agents of Sauron that you have used that specific Ring; mechanically, this counts as Sauron’s passive investigative ability, so it can be avoided with action-immunity. The second point will disable your passive ability for that night and the following day. The third point will turn you into a Ringwraith, removing you from the game and returning all of your Rings to Sauron. The Ring-corruption is specific to each Ring, so you can theoretically use every Ring twice without turning into a Ringwraith.
Being blocked or having your action otherwise prevented does not prevent Ring-corruption from accumulating.
Each night, you may elect to send any number of your Rings to any number of other players. This does not count as an action, so it cannot be blocked or manipulated by normal means. This resolves at dawn, so if your target ends up dying, you’ll simply keep the Ring. You may use a Ring’s action and send it away in the same night.
In addition to being able to send their Rings to other players, the Agents of Sauron may alternatively send Rings to Sauron himself. This effectively removes the Rings from the game.
If you kill a player or place the last vote on a lynched player, you take their Rings. If two players kill each other, they will immediately have to send one another’s Rings to the player(s) of their choice.
Oh,
The rules actually matter in this game.

Rings were the discussion point when he entered the thread. I said by not having a ring you weren’t a player he replied by saying he had no ring.
If your game plan is to never claim your original ring because it’s a scum power you can’t just dodge what I said.
How do you expect scum to react to that?

it’s a starting out point, he says for at least the third time.

To be honest, I skipped over the ring part at first as well and just read the power.
I’d expect scum to react by just brushing it off or not claiming their ring count?
Can’t really see any benefit for scum to claim hard mechanical information early in the game; it invites scrutiny on them and doesn’t really allow them to fish for roles?

Eh, I can say from my own experience that this seems like a bit of a stretch. The first time I read my pm i didn’t notice the rings heading and just read the power.

I wouldn’t hold my breath, we’re pretty early for Elli to be playing.
Reconcile this with your vote on M2H? You disagree with beeboy’s analysis on why he thinks M2H is lock scum, but you’re still voting M2H?
