Look, I get it, Sorian; you're trying to save your secret teammate Flux, and I can understand why you'd feel the need to do something like that. But there comes a time when you have to let go, Sorian. I understand.
I also understand that in scum's case,
being the Alignment of "scum" is as much of a role as their Role is.
Take another poke at
absbro's Forbidden Action:
"Your forbidden action is Revealing or strongly hinting at the results of your investigation in the Scum Faction Chat."
yeah. His FA prohibited him from playing both his scum-Investigative Role, AND his Alignment, effectively. I see what you're trying to do, Sorian, and I'm not gonna allow you to divide and conquer like that, bruv. Role AND Alignment effectively.
abs' FA countered his Alignment too, no matter what you say.
So how does Flux's alleged FA fit in to this?
Consider that his (""""was"""") "
gotta have 1 vote against him by Day end or else I can't vote"; like I said, such an FA mollifies a Despair
-aligned by forcing him to actively SEEK vote aggro towards himself, all so that he may participate in the most important feature of the Day in being able to vote (from which if he chooses to continue to refrain, could invite
too much such aggro), but carefully so as to not get voted out, yeah? All this clearly affects his Alignment play, Sorian. It forces a scum to court death by having to pursue the antithesis of scum play in (mild) Jester mode, just so they can look like a regular player to the rest of us.
And with regards to how his FA affects his Role? His alleged FA affects Alignment play MORE than any possible... Roleplay. Which, is why I think that not only Flux is scum, he's some fuckin' powerful scumlord type of scummy scum, like a Godfather or something, a Role that's
entirely predicated on Alignment play. It's a perfect scum-narrative Role match for his FA.
scumFlux is scummy scum, all signs point
Also, it occurred to me that why didn't scumFlux just get a scum teammate to activate him by voting against him once? Thought: there's probably a stipulation in scumFlux's FA
that the vote has to be from a non-scum player, so there. (Im)Perfection.
