I feel like I substantially changed the way to play this game when I started playing Transformers mafia.
It's not because I'm scum this game, otherwise it'd be more likely I would've played Transformers mafia like I was playing here rather than change my play here. It's mostly because my focus on that game somehow changed the way I played my town game here.Sigh- Vaxkiller

Some introductory notes on Creature meta. This isn't really complete yet. Initial thoughts -- Creature is very aware of his meta, can be INCREDIBLY disengaged as both VT and scum, SEEMS more engaged as TPRs but actually is more bored?
Also the scum comments about Creature's meta this game were complete shit because they were primarily drawing from games where he was TPR, not VT.
In terms of scum on Creature Meta comments, they ALL began with a strong townread of Creature based on meta, and then those who lived longer (Gamma and Texcat) began to walk back that read as the game went on.
Also, fun fact--literally everything Gamma said about meta this game was a lie.
Anyway, some initial notes ahoy (mostly just setting up the list at this point):

So, a few thoughts.
Those familiar with Creature's meta on the scum team probably could have easily picked out that he was playing to his VT/scum meta, so might have been interested in pocketing him early with their 'meta defense' of his play. That being said, that Gamma based any part of his read on Creature on meta does bother me. Their universal defense of him suggests they wanted him alive toward the late game (either as a buddy, or because they did not plan to nightkill him ever, since he was obviously not TPR).
This is the only point where Creature unvotes. Unvotes are one of the biggest Creature scumtells, but this was an unusual situation (Tex at L-1). I'll need to reread some stuff there but I'm inclined to say that Creature is not playing toward his obvious scum meta.
Also, just based on level of engagement, there does seem to be some merit to the idea that Creature!Scum can literally go entire games without casting a single vote, and so it's not unreasonable to say that while both VT!Creature and Scum!Creature are disengaged, Scum!Creature tends to be much more disengaged than VT!Creature.vote conspiracy- Creature

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go -- 50% of votes are busses
Main conclusions at this point --
If this is Scum!Creature, this is a Scum!Creature that has not been seen before. The level of engagement here is not characteristic of Scum!Creature.
The closest analogy to this game is Labyrinth, if Creature was scum -- https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go
The closest analogy to this game is "Pick Yer Power" if Creature is VT -- https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go
And in this, a more active game, Creature does also unvote once (925)
And this is not really the Creature that played Labyrinth.
So, Creature Meta Arguments Summary:
-Creature is self-aware of his meta
-Creature busses frequently out of the few votes he casts as scum
but
-Activity is somewhat alignment indicative for Creature
-This looks a lot more like the "Pick Yer Power" Creature than the "Labyrinth" Creature
From a meta perspective, I tend to agree with the common argument that Creature looks town. If he is scum this game, he has dramatically changed his scum playstyle in a way I would find surprising.
My main thought right now is that the scum team thought that towncasing Creature early game would give them a slot to say stuff about that didn't actually require that much worse. "Oh yeah, meta, Creature is town. I'm town, I'm giving reads man. And stuff." Since the argument was garbage, they could always change it later, which both Gamma and texcat seemed inclined to do.vote conspiracy-

Another thing I thought of:
In post 5754, Creature wrote:One claimed, other refused to claim.
Is it stupid to townread both of them of that?
I looked through all of Creature's scum games... and I think actually his biggest scumtell, one of the ways that you can sort scum!Creature from town!Creature aside from the pure activity meta, which is easy to fake, is that scum!Creature basically doesn't have townreads. He does lists, but he never characterizes the top of his lists as townreads. If he does, he's vague or "forgets" about his townreads.
To that extent, 5754 would be shockingly out of character for a scum!Creature. It's also odd because I agreed with 5754 at the time, which was one of the few points where I actually felt like I was on the same page as Creature.
Creature did some things that are odd this game, I still don't like the unvote/revote on tex, but his scum game tends to be... kind of transparently lurky. I don't see anything in the ballpark of the unvote/revote, I don't see dedicated townreads while people are at L-1, if you care about meta at all (which it's okay not to), then this is definitely town Creature.
Now, if you DO NOT care about meta, there's Creature's play. Ank says that VCA says Creature looks scummy. But if she wants to make an argument that Creature is scummy based on play, then she needs to make that argument, because it is not obvious to me how you reach that conclusion based on VCA.
I still see GR as hands down the best lynch today.vote conspiracy-

Iif you think about it, Almost50 is basically a perfect nightkill if Creature is town, and GR is scum. If you look at it objectively, it should implicate GR and Gamma both. But, A50 was loud on Creature, and also countered the 'Creature town' meta, which scum wanted to back down on anyway. Killing A50 eliminates someone who called 2 of the scum team (at least, 3 if Vax is in there too) while a casual glance at A50 in iso instead might seem to implicate Creature. A50 being wrong on Creature gave the scum team just enough cover to kill him while protecting 2-3 of their slots. At the same time, it sets up Creature as a future mislynch.

I generally don't case
I left the groundwork to get to where I am and the necessary info needed to interpret it in the right way
if you can't or don't want to go along that path, then there's not a whole lot I can do since it's impressively difficult to word it in a way that doesn't just sound like gibberish-

very common for me to explain something and people just dismiss what I'm saying because I make a lot of assumptions when the truth is that I've been building up to where I was for long enough that I just actually forget the steps I used to reach those 'assumptions' in the first place
it's a lot easier and more likely to get somewhere if I just have people retrace my steps and have an opinion on things in the way I see it- Ircher

Yeah except that only works if you're really going off of VCA or something. You're now saying you're judging Creature on play. So WHAT PLAYS? What posts? There's no reason you shouldn't be able to point to something to discuss. I feel like every time I try to narrow down even the NATURE of your argument you shift gears.In post 7345, Ankamius wrote:like

Ank: "Actually I'm doing reads based on play"
Krazy: "OK well I did reads based on play and GR is definitely scum based on play"
Ank: "Actually I can't explain my reads"
Krazy: "..."
Right now you're saying GR is town "because reasons". I mean that's fine, that's still more than some people, but you can't expect me to change my read of GR when GR is scum by literally every metric one can use to evaluate the game of mafia.vote conspiracy
