I see the Desperado action
Good on you Ari, probably one if the better shots you could have made for progressing the game. Shame everyone suspected you.We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am.

Bargain: Neighborize
Pops or Smarty are who I'll neighborize if I get it
I feel like a politician posting this

{tw, ss}
{gamma, fishy}
{menaphos, dannflor}
{mariar}
{greyice, katsuki}
{krazy, titus, chennisden, iconeum, punk bill, penguinpower} <= roughly null
{firebringer, popsmaybetown}
{mastina}
so i'm townreading scum in some fashion
fishy first take for apocalyptically deep wolf. he's so high because i think the emotional range he's exhibited here is likely outside of his scum ethos; could like, technically be wrong, this is a very meta read
gamma like...consistently bleeds town imo
dannflor townread i like more than i did earlier, i think earlier when he menalque and i were interacting i kinda thought mena was more likely to be town than dannflor so maybe that just is a 3 town core? wow
mariar just posts pure and she's not pushing an agenda; idk why scum!maria in this game just..doesn't try and be townread or really do much, the only thing she's done is go for LLD. ah crap maybe she is the person i'm wrong on. this would be a solid bus. i'll check later.
greyice/katsuki just kinda lukewarm off following d1; think greyice is townier than katsuki but he's also more absent so neither of them have done anything except lynch LLD so feel like warmer bus takes. someone made a point about greyice doing something he wouldn't have done as scum emotionally to LLD which makes me think i missed something important in the like ~80 pages i skipped, hmu if this is a real thing
don't care about anyone in the next tier.

So we shouldn't scumread you because you're a poor choice, but Krazy is your second biggest scumread.In post 5559, mastina wrote:Pine didn't pick me because I am a poor choice. I, similarly to Krazy, feel miserable as scum.
I smell something... something fishy... something... like bullshit
Krazy is a strong scumread of mine because it is self-evident that he is miserable this game when as scum he would be miserable.
I am town because if I were scum I would be miserable but this game I am very definitively not.
Well.
Not miserable in the way I would be miserable as scum.
If I were miserable as scum I would be doing exactly what Krazy who is miserable scum is doing: I would be posting as little as was humanly possible, doing as little as humanly possible, and basically just popping in with the bare minimum level of effort necessary.
My misery this game comes from an entirely different source.

That's not why Aristophanes is scum, though it is something Aristophanes would do as scum.In post 5617, popsofctown wrote:Ari is controversial for WKing LLD.
Aristophanes is scum because of what he brings to the scumteam, the value Pine sees in Aristophanes, and what Aristophanes has done all game. What stances he's taken, what plays he's made, his tone, his content, his everything. The pushes he's made, the content he's providing, it all looks like his top-form scumgame rather than his natural towngame. Mostly, you can tell this by one simple fact;
Aristophanes this game is trying harder than he would be as town.
Yes, traditionally, Aristophanes as scum is a lurksack who does nothing; traditionally, town-Aristophanes usually does nothing for quite a bit and then ends up trying hard.
But this is an Aristophanes whose tryhardness is above and beyond the call to duty--this is an Aristophanes with something to prove, and Aristophanes as town would have nothing to prove.

And by the way?In post 6253, Pink Ball wrote:Tired of mastina calling scum to players when her stance on herself and other players is "anyone is a good pick for Pine, if someone wasn't a good pick, they wouldn't be in the game".
Pink Ball loses the entirety of his fucking townread for this massive fucking misrep of me.
Anyone is a good pick for Pine--and if they weren't, they wouldn't be in the game.
This is true.
That doesn't mean there aren't players who are better picks to make than others; that doesn't mean there aren't players who are more likely to be picked; that doesn't mean picks can't be hypothesized, picks can't be theorized, picks can't be discussed.
Anyone could've been picked, but as I said before, the question to ask isn't why Pine would or wouldn't pick someone; the question is why Pine did or didn't pick them. The former is a shitty question which you will never get good answers for. The latter is something that can be talked about, discussed, debated, and so on and so forth and that is precisely what I have done, outlined who I think Pine did pick and who I think Pine did not pick and the whys behind it.
Yes because me giving my reads on the entire playerlist along with reasons why, and continuing to engage on those reads the entire fucking game. Is totally me not playing the game. Me explaining my stances, engaging players and pushing my stances. Is totally me not playing the game. Me being in a situation where by every fucking right I should be conftown and then after by EVERY FUCKING RIGHT ME SHOULD BE CONFTOWN BEING CALLED SCUM BY HALF THE TOWN.In post 6253, Pink Ball wrote:Mastina is not really playing the game.
Is totally me not playing the game.
Bullshit.In post 6253, Pink Ball wrote:And she's actually a good pick for Pine
I have gotten mislynched or misvigged in almost every fucking game I have played this year and even in the games I didn't get either of those I came damn fucking close. L-1 in Undertale comes to mind for instance as does the fact that I was being lined up to be the next lynch in Skygazer's Everything Normal and only averted it because the last scum was lynched so the town can't mislynch me when the game's over in a town win before they can. Fuck even in xyzzy's anyone can post, game, I was almost fucking lynched although to be fair it was a crossvote between me and a different town player so scum could've picked anyone they wanted to to be the lynch and it'd have gone through and it was almost a coinflip where they did lynch me.
Mislynched.
Or misvigged.
In almost every. fucking. game.
I have played.
What makes that magically change with me being scum?
What makes me magically stop being an easy town lynch?
What makes scumastina magically, mystically, go from being a town mislynch as town, to not being lynched as scum?
...Anything?
...No?
Okay, so we've fucking established that if I am scum I still get fucking lynched. So my value can't be in me living to the endgame.
So what other value do I provide?
I can set up my scumteam for success after I am lynched.
Okay, then why was LLD scum, and why was LLD scum specifically the D1 lynch? LLD filled that role for the scumteam. Pine WANTED us to focus on her D1 and focus on her D1 we did indeed. LLD filled this role on the scumteam; are you seriously going to posit that Pine doubled down on having not one but TWO, a full THIRD OF HIS SCUMTEAM, be fucking sacrificial lambs?
Because suggesting I am scum this game when LLD flipped scum is suggesting exactly fucking that.
Okay.
So my value as scum isn't that I endgame.
My value as scum isn't that I prop up my scumbuddies.
What value does that leave in my scumplay?
Propping my scumteam up? I am a bossy bitch; that is not a skill which is really in my repertoire. It can happen, but only if I am on a scumteam where I've got good friends as my scumbuddies, and even then it's not a guarantee. (For instance RC's game had my scumteam and I heavily fight with one another behind the scenes in spite of me being entirely surrounded by friends in it. That was literally one of the best scumteams I could ask for in terms of propping up my scumteam, and Ididn't do it thenbecause as I said: it's not a skill which is really in my repertoire.)
Speculating as to the identity of town PRs?
I don't fucking PR hunt as scum; this is not a skill scumastina would thus bring to Pine's scumteam.
Working on mechanics to shut down any town mechanical solve?
That's literally the closest to a possible skill Pine could see value in picking me for, and that is still not my specialty as scum.
Crafting fakeclaims for my team?
My modus operandi as scum is to tell the fucking truth and encourage my scumteam to do the same.
Help Pine create a plan?
So what's the fucking plan I helped create then? This scumteam is not fucking following any plan I'd have made and the jjh kill is fucking proof of that. (jjh was, by the way, a scumread and good fucking luck finding a scumgame of mine where I kill a fucking player I am scumreading.)
What makes me a good pick for Pine this game, pray tell?
Absofuckinglutely nothing, at least given the known and proven facts so far in the game given what has happened and what we know has transpired thusfar.
There is good reason for me to be picked in theory--there is such reasoning for every player to be picked. Every player has a reason they would be picked and I am no exception to that. There is damn fucking good reason Pine DIDN'T pick me.
Oh yes I am scum with a player who I would happily fucking lynch because I was literally the first fucking person to call PenguinPower possible scum on D1. Right. That's how scumastina plays these days.In post 6253, Pink Ball wrote:along with PP. Called them out on D1, they're both scum.-

I mean I called SS as town anyway so. Far from helpful to me given that Aristophanes's role perfectly explains his play.In post 6280, Alisae wrote:Having those 2 slots resolved NOW is actually game changing.
He had a similar incentive I had to tryhard.
I identified him tryharding as him having something to prove and thought that could only come from scum.
Him having a role designed to die perfectly explains his tryharding and I know that all too fucking well because no fucking shit I did literally the same fucking thing, I just thought that there wasn't another role like that designed to die. - mastina
