	In PvP, the most common action a character will take is to ''be sneaky''. As detailed in the [[Scum: Hurting People\|Hurting People]] section, this involves taking a '''Sneaky Bastard''' test, and if successful means that the Scum ~~is effectively unfindable by other players for~~ the ~~next hour.~~		In PvP, the most common action a character will take is to ''be sneaky''. As detailed in the [[Scum: Hurting People\|Hurting People]] section, this involves taking a '''Sneaky Bastard''' test, and if successful means that the Scum can make one location move secretly. Note that all secret movement takes place before all open movement, to give would be pursuers a fighting chance of finding the sneaky Scum!

	Though the other players might know what he is up to (there are no secret ~~actions~~ in this game) they can't ~~interact with~~ him unless the sneaky Scum wants to be found. Note that if the sneaky Scum interacts with other Scum in any other way (including the various actions below) he is considered to have revealed himself, and can be found normally.		Though the other players might know what he is up to (there are no secret dice rolls and no secret narration in this game) they can't directly follow him.
