here it doesnt apply due to the fact gurads only knows king. so its rather easy to fake scum hunting
Taking down the post numbers after analyzing the comment to decide whether it sounds scummy or not, then taking the time to arrange them into a post doesn't seem easy to me, in fact it wasn't easy at all. If I was Scum I would just stay away and then post comments that don't have anything to do with anything that is helpful in finding scum. There seem to be quite a few of those comments.
The point there is that is normally a towntell but scum must scumhunt as well but for the ruler.
Scum guards must find out who not to lynch.
I agree, but I don't think Scum would go to unnecessary work/trouble to set up someone they think is Scum too. Maybe someone they think is Town, but to try and set up one on their own team doesn't make sense to me.
Scum Guards know who the ruler is, they are going to discourage any negative comments made on their ruler to preclude his being lynched. However, other than the ruler, guards only have to be concerned about other guards, they don't know who the other guards are and don't want to unnecessarily lynch another guard. That is why this game is so freaking hard. Damn Wake!
