Especially if the four scum were all the last four voters on the wagon and quickly voted back-to-back to bring the wagon to lynch. In lylo it would make sense for that to happen, but it doesn't make sense for the scumteam to do that on day one. It seems strange to be discouraging voting this early on in the game, especially since voting/pressuring is one way to help the game transition from "RVS" to "serious mode".
this is towny and the only real reason to scumread them is lack of content. it's just a generic bad wagon
what's towny about this post?

it's legitimate analysis of what scum vs town would do, something that is entirely absent from your iso.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

I see

from what I've researched, you've only rolled scum once in one of your first games. What do you think you learned about playing as scum with that game, and what do you think you need to improve as scum?

if you can't write good elabored posts as scum, do you think you would try to improve it as the games goes on or do you think that you would find to be a good tactic to simplify your play overall as you've been doing here and not need to elaborate posts at all?

First things first. There seems to be some rumour circulating that "Aster" means "Disaster". I wish to clarify that the rumours are entirely false. In fact, they are quite the
opposite
of the truth.

The prefix "dis-" is from Latin origin that is used to express a negative or opposite [1]. Examples are "disassemble" being the opposite of "assemble" and "distrust" being the opposite of "trust". As such, "disaster" or Dis-Aster, is the
opposite
of "Aster". Using the laws of logic, it follows that Aster is the
opposite
of Disaster.

The name "Aster" ought to be associated with things like blessing and salvation, or in mafia context, perfect victories.

Any further questions?

In post 462, pinturicchio wrote:So: I scumread her because of something specific ---> she replies with a tone that ressembles her town range ---> I stop caring about the initial specific thing 'cause I have something better. Is this now clear?
My problem is not that you dropped the initial specific thing, it is that you dropped something else than the initial specific thing.

The chain or logic is: you think that Blackjacks is scummy because they put effort in their RVS. To have this claim be applicable, Blackjacks must've written their post after receiving their role. To prove that this claim is applicaple, you try to prove "Blackjacks wrote their post in pregame". Then Blackjacks confirms that the post was written after having received the role.

When you drop the case against Blackjacks, you act like "wrote post in pregame" is the scumtell you no longer care about, whereas "effort in RVS" should be the scumtell you no longer care about. It gives me the impression that you forgot what your case was about or how it was structured.

Of course it is plausible that you were just a confused townie, but I would expect scum to be more likely than townies to forget what their cases were about because they care more about finding some scumtells to point fingers at than finding real reasons others are scum.


Anyway, I'm a bit confused by the Blackjacks/ruru case. Since mentions of ruru's meta were made, I presumed that ruru's meta would be "useless lurker" like in this game, but RadiantCowbells asserts it isn't and it is rare for ruru to lurk this much? Even if claimed this is not the only game where ruru lurks, how can you be so sure about reading the "tone" of her messages if she rarely ever plays like this? I'd think there's little data to compare her to.

I guess you can't answer this question, but it is just something I'm worndering about.

It was even funnier than the "dis

" pun all the while being serious.

That's some talent right here I guess.

In the time span between and , volxen was only playing in one other game in which he made multiple posts.

Ellitell has worked on volxen in the past; he’s more likely to post when he’s town.

Again, he had just replaced so I don't think it would be abnormal for him to think "oh well, afterwards I catchup with that game" and just post in the game he is focused right now.

However there's two good points here:

The news that the Ellitell worked on him once is
very
appreciated (that in other words he indeed posts more as town than as scum). in what game did that happen?

Also, I suddenly noticed something when you said "multiple posts" that I had only realized in a unconscious level before...

I mean, he only came here to write
one
post and by re:checking I'm noticing a lot of difference in the ratio he posts here and elsewhere :(

Yeah, that may increase his scum equity I guess.

@RC, do you disagree with this?

I was pretty obviously responding to the statement that you were not ellitelling. This isn’t even the only reason I’m scumreading you for anymore

What thoughts on the game do you have?
