like, the head of the hydra that is more adept at general scum gamestate manipulation wouldn't be responsible for us getting caught off of the back of a lynch on someone whose flip looks really good for us.

like i feel like anything that i say to point out that scumreads on our slot are really unreasonable will get ignored by virtue of the fact that they come from me
but i really do feel like town should not think that we are scum with the information that they have available to them.

at the very least, our odds of being scum should be probabilistically low enough that somewhere between that and the unlikeliness of actually getting scum us lynched the +ev of pushing on us is vanishingly small and not worth anyone's time.

This is where I am at with you LLD and Katsuki.

I trust katsuki and LLD not to gamethrow. i'm assuming they're the same alignment if they're not masons. it's not worth my effort to consider the possibility of them being TvS
i have seriously considered the possibility of them being SvS but i think the possibility of other people being scum is way more likely than them.

Like there's a small meta point on LLD and Kats that back in the 2010/2011 era scum would commonly reference buddies in opening. LLD did that. That alone is insufficient for a scumread too.

But it's not worth pursuing because so low odds like I said. Bullets can narrow down more likely targets.

I'm turning my attention to crumbs.

Tana and Ephraim are still town off of D1 play alone. The N1 scum kill isn't scum. If you're going to make the argument that because it's RC he would orchestrate that gambit to try and conf town himself, I would counter that RC isn't going to be lynched as scum—when was the last time that happened? It's better EV wise for scum!RC to use the N1 kill on a townie—potentially hitting a strong PR—and relying on his role to keep any rogue vigs with pet scum reads off him.

Anyway.
In post 4527, DrDolittle wrote:yeah I could see it
But, why? What do I accomplish there? You've never played with scum me but I have no issue bussing my buddies when I'm scum—you can confirm this for yourself. I don't understand what you believe the agenda behind naked unvoting my supposed buddy at L-1 is. I don't even try to push anyone else, I just unvote.

This is important because this feels like very shallow analysis to me and I'm struggling to read your thought process here as genuine.
In post 4528, DrDolittle wrote:dann who's scum fypov
I liked my Titus/RCE/Croag solve but I don't think that's exactly right anymore. Titus could be scum but is probably town due to the vig. Croag... I think can still be scum? I'm unsure how much her claim clears her.

Outside of that Oversoul probably takes the slot of one of the reads I was wrong on.

I think you could possibly be scum but I need to engage with you more.

i also had exactly this thought at the time

and i don't usually put stock in this tell for most people but i think my associative thought especially on developing this read isn't one that would easily be reverse engineered by scum

idk I'm aware I'm not playing like, maybe as blatantly town as I usually am able to

but I don't really know how to fix that this game

but I also don't think I'm playing anywhere near my scum game and the actual reasons for scum reading me seem ???

like I understand being within some players' PoEs but DDL's case on me for example I have several issues with

Rank the utility of the following actions for town. Reasons not required. You may or may not factor in your own pm.

1) A cop and a vig
2) 2 roleblocks
3) 2 cops
4) A roleblock and a vig
5) 2 vigs
6) A roleblock and a cop

I shut off the cookie machine
and none of them noticed/commented. Yeah moon logic. Shiro got sad I didn't give him a cookie is not relevant.
This is me claiming the rb on Shiro.

Pandora and Loki are both represented as dark attribute characters in puzzles and dragons, and are both black. So that's why I picked the names.

Both their mythologies are kind of about subverted expectations.
The issue there is, how crappy do you expect everyone else's abilities to be? How can people judge their own abilities? If we have a gunsmith, should they transform? A tracker? A bodyguard? A motion detector?
Also some can't transform night 1 possibly throwing things off.
